The villain's daily corpse collection

The next day, Wang asked Huo Feng to continue to explore the location of the artifact in the city, and he asked Du Ximiao to take him to the Prince An's Mansion to see the princess. Since he had made the promise, he should go and see the situation.

A carriage was arranged outside the inn in advance. Yuan Xiang was in charge of driving, while Wang Wei and Du Ximiao sat in the carriage. Seeing the tired look on Di Ji's face from not getting enough sleep, Wang Wei greeted her, "Didn't I already promise you? Why are you still..." She gestured and pointed at the other person's dark circles.

"I was too excited last night and didn't sleep well. The knot that had been bothering me for many years has finally been untied, all thanks to Sister Weiwei." Du Ximiao smiled and hugged Wang Wei's arm.

Wang Wei looked down at those hands, but did not struggle to break free. He just said meaningfully: "It seems that you have already decided which path to take."

Du Ximiao affirmed: "Of course! My goal has never changed. I pursued it with fear and trepidation before. Now that I have the affirmation of Sister God, I must be more confident."

Wang Wei turned his head to look at her, curling his lips: "That is a bloody road, many people will die."

"This is a reasonable sacrifice." Du Ximiao said without hesitation, "Power is always accompanied by bloodshed. I am willing to give everything for it. What's more, I have nothing to begin with."

Suddenly, the carriage stopped. Some light came in from outside, and Yuan Xiang suddenly opened half of the curtain. He looked at Du Ximiao quietly and said, "Your Highness, have you really thought it through?"

Du Ximiao's eyes were calm: "Of course, I have never been so clear-headed as I am now."

We have arrived at Prince An’s Mansion.

The chief steward An Xie was away today because of something. Du Ximiao felt that today was a smooth day, as he didn't have to see the old man's face. Wang Wei remembered what happened in Tianzhou. The maids recognized Princess Tai Yao and saluted her. She waved her hand and made it clear why she came.

When they went there, Princess You Yunxian was worshipping in a side hall. Wang Wei looked at the golden statue of the deity in the hall, which was clearly a smaller version of herself - even her wolf-tail whisk was copied exactly the same.

"Princess, you have guests." The maid reported.

You Yunxian slowly opened her eyes, and the maid beside her helped her get up from the mat. She turned around and saw the white-haired woman whom she had met once in Tianzhou. For a moment, she felt as if she was in another world.

"You, you are here!" You Yunxian was extremely surprised. She immediately dismissed everyone and closed the door of the ancestral hall.

The room was a little dim. Wang Wei raised his hand slightly, and the unlit candles around him instantly illuminated the entire ancestral hall. Du Ximiao showed the same expression as You Yunxian.

"Sister Weiwei is so amazing." Du Ximiao clasped his hands together and clapped quietly. Only then did You Yunxian notice that Princess Tai Yao was here. The two of them nodded in greeting, and it seemed that they were both tired of the cumbersome etiquette.

"You Yunxian," Wang Wei called out her name. This was the first mortal's name she remembered since she came to the mortal world. She saw the flickering light of the candle in the other's eyes, as if he was looking forward to her. "You are worshiping me, why? Do you hope that I can show up and fulfill the promise you made before?"

"To answer the God, yes and no." You Yunxian looked at Wang Wei too respectfully, which was different from the first time they met.

“Don’t ask me to be a god.” Wang Wei climbed onto the altar. This shrine was much larger than the ones usually found in homes. She moved closer to the golden statue of the god that looked like herself. “The workmanship is so exquisite. This is the first time I’ve seen my statue in a mortal’s home.”

"As long as you like it." You Yunxian pursed her lips, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Just say whatever you want to say. What I promised you still counts."

"The An family of Yangyue is now under the full control of An Xie. Apart from burning incense and worshipping the gods every day, I can basically do nothing. An Xie and Prince Xian..." You Yunxian raised her eyes and glanced at Du Ximiao. Du Ximiao smiled at her, "The two of them are still in contact privately. Before, I secretly contacted the Lin'an Palace through the waiter. Many disciples there were dissatisfied with the An family for bringing the dirty air into the Xuanmen Pure Land..."

Du Ximiao interrupted: "Don't worry too much about my brother the emperor, he is not very smart. However," she changed the subject, "I am very curious about the new heir of the An family. Are there any rumors that he will die suddenly after ascending the throne?" Wang Wei raised his eyebrows. What kind of outrageous rumor is this?

You Yunxian couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Your Highness, this rumor is really exaggerated. In fact, everyone is testing your majesty's intentions." She paused, "At the same time, they are also waiting for news from the An family's ancestor."

"I heard from Princess Diji that the An family is going to support a young lady from a side branch to inherit the throne?" Wang Wei asked first.

"Exactly."

"Supporting an obvious puppet seems to be more reassuring, and you may be able to directly see the opposite result."

The emperor was equivalent to the god in the mortal world. When there was no god in the mortal world to intervene, the position of the only vassal king in the world became a hot potato. The emperor wanted to completely abolish this position, but he did not dare to act rashly because of the existence of the ancestor of the An family. Less than a hundred years after the founding of the country, the ancestor of the An family lived longer than Yangdu.

Du Di felt very bitter. What if he came to the mortal world one day and saw that his family was uprooted? He didn't know whether God would punish him. Unknown things would always magnify people's fear. He had to take his time and deal with it slowly. Although he believed in God, everyone understood that he was the one in power, not a fool.

Du Ximiao spread his hands: "It's okay, I've already offended that ancestor, and I've accepted my fate. After all, I'm no match for God, so why should I worry? I'll just take whatever comes."

"To cope with ever changing circumstances, one must remain unchanged. Now everyone is at the bottom of the water. Don't try to stand out. Maintaining the status quo is the best way. You can wait for the first person to be eliminated. But you must also be wary of some people making small moves. If you are in the same camp, it's okay. If not..." Wang Wei didn't continue. You Yunxian understood what she meant and nodded.

Wang Wei continued to ask, "What's going on with Lin'an Palace? Along the way, I saw some disciples wearing Lin'an Palace Taoist robes, who seemed to be selling some kind of elixir in the corner? Is this what Lin'an Palace does now?"

"After we came back from Tianzhou, I tried to contact the disciples of Lin'an Palace who you rescued before, and they also gave me a unique kite communication tool. I have been secretly contacting them, and I found out that many disciples of Lin'an Palace can't stand the current trend. The sect is now divided into two factions. One faction is the children of the powerful. They mainly want to use the name of cultivators to do things that show off their power and intimidate others. The other part of the disciples, on the other hand, want to practice sincerely." You Yunxian's tone was quite helpless.

"Although they are from the same sect, they are so divided internally. It seems that the way they practice is similar to that of my father, the emperor!" Du Ximiao couldn't help but complain.

"It's so chaotic, but no one just started fighting?" Wang Wei was a little curious. After all, in the heaven, everyone would fight at the slightest disagreement. Apart from anything else, strength was the most fundamental thing.

"The disciples of these two sects are not in the same place. The disciples who practice seriously are on Luming Mountain on the outskirts of the city, which belongs to the branch of Lin'an Palace. The main palace is still in the west of Yangyue City. The children of the rich and powerful cannot give up the extravagant life in the big city. Moreover, in addition to the children of the rich and powerful, there are also some speculators in the sect. They are quite like the so-called charlatans in the world. They secretly make some elixirs and sell them in the town to cheat people out of money. Many people in the town have suffered greatly from them..." You Yunxian said, and couldn't help but sighed, "It was only after a few disciples on the mountain secretly sent messages that I learned that they had committed such a sin."

"I didn't expect it!" Du Ximiao sighed, "I thought Yangyue was much more magnificent than Dijing. It's really ironic that my father always talks about the teachings of Lin'an Palace."

"So, You Yunxian, what do you want me to do for you?" Wang Wei got to the point.

"I, I want you to help me kill An Xie!" You Yunxian did not hesitate, "After I came back, he was my biggest stumbling block. I thought about what I really want. In fact, I don't care about this palace at all, power and struggle. I just want to get away from here and go to the mountain to clean up Lin'an Palace thoroughly." After she finished speaking, she let out a long breath, as if she was instantly refreshed. "Maybe my name means I am destined to have a better chance of becoming an immortal... I want to save those cultivators who are working hard to cultivate."

Wang Wei didn't understand for a moment why she was so obsessed with other people's affairs.

You Yunxian saw her confusion and smiled, "During this period, I was confined to the mansion, but the disciples in the mountains often sent me messages and shared their daily practice. I could only see the sky in all directions, but my heart had seen the scenery of the mountains... My senior sisters and brothers took them to class and practice swords every day, and occasionally held small martial arts competitions. There are many powerful girls in the sect. They wrote me very long letters and asked me many questions about life when they were confused... Although we have never met, we already trust each other, and I finally found something worth doing."

Wang Wei took it to heart and then nodded, indicating that she understood.

You Yunxian's tone suddenly became heavy: "So, I must kill An Xie and make him unable to use them for anything again." Her voice was firm and unquestionable, and her eyes were fixed on Wang Wei's eyes.

"I thought you wanted me to save them!" Wang Wei raised the corners of her lips. She was very satisfied with the entrustment that killing someone could solve the problem.

Seeing her relaxed expression, You Yunxian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let me rescue them. There are too many guards around An Xie, probably all sent to him by King Xian. I dare not act rashly. I tried to hire a killer to kill him, but An Xie seemed to have been practicing secretly. Ordinary masters are no match for him."

"Sister Yunxian, you are using a butcher knife to kill a fly!" Du Ximiao's expression was exaggerated. Wang Wei was quite speechless. What the hell was this address!

"So, you agreed?"

"It's just a small matter. Is it really just this?" Wang Wei asked tentatively. Seeing the other party nod, he completely agreed.

"There is one more important thing!" You Yunxian suddenly remembered, "The An ancestor in the heaven seems to have contacted the An clan elders one-way. I didn't understand the content of the secret letter they mentioned, I only heard the word "secret realm."

Wang Wei frowned and thought, could the secret realm be the clue to the next artifact?

The gods would occasionally open secret realms to the lower world, giving mortals the opportunity to ascend. Those who were destined to enter the secret realms could find various treasures such as magic tools and improve their cultivation. This was definitely a rare opportunity. For Wang Wei, if the artifact she was looking for was also in this secret realm, then she had to try it, even though it was a resource deployed by the enemy.

She wanted to ask more specifically, but You Yunxian knew nothing.

There was a commotion at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Suddenly, the door was pushed open and strong light from outside shone in. Several people were dazzled and could not see who was coming for a moment.

"It's not even dark yet, why is the ancestral hall closed?" They heard the voice before they saw the person, and the three of them looked towards the door. They stepped half a foot into the door first, and a group of servants behind them reminded them with worried words like "Young Master, be careful, there is a threshold." Wang Wei dodged to the side, as she was too lazy to meet some useless and troublesome people.

"So, my aunt is here. Xianxian pays her respects to my aunt." The young lady who was surrounded by the crowd was none other than Miss An, whom Du Ximiao had specially gone to greet when he held the Flower and Moon Banquet. She was the Miss An who was hiding behind the crowd and was alone in the pavilion because she was frightened by the crowd.

But now it seems that she has changed into another person.

"Last time Miss An Wanshan came to visit my house, she had two different faces. Seeing how Miss is now, it turns out that I didn't entertain her well enough that day." An Wanshan's expression was slightly moved, but she greeted Du Ximiao neither servilely nor arrogantly, "It was Kankan who was impolite before. Please don't blame me, Your Highness. It's just that Kankan rarely travels far and always stays in Yangyue An's house."

"I am not a petty person, but my second brother may do such a thing, so don't worry." Du Ximiao responded with a smile, and An Wanshan pursed his lips and said nothing more. Only Du Ximiao, a veritable "little lunatic", dared to say something unpleasant about the people of the imperial family, and it was difficult for people to respond after he said it.

"Since Wanshan is here, let's pay our respects together with them." You Yunxian spoke.

They? After hearing this, An Wanshan noticed that there was another person standing next to Du Ximiao.

An Wanshan picked up three incense sticks and prepared to kneel down to worship the statue in front of her, but she found that the statue looked familiar. She turned her head and looked behind her, and saw Wang Wei and Du Ximiao saying goodbye to You Yunxian. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Wang Wei turned his eyes away and strode out the door.

After leaving the gate of Prince An's Mansion, the two got on the carriage and prepared to return home.

"Sister Weiwei, don't worry. I will find out about the secret realm." Du Ximiao saw Wang Wei's worry and took the initiative to share her concerns.

Wang Wei nodded and was about to say something, but suddenly, alarm bells rang in her heart!

There was a powerful and unfamiliar force approaching her, and she determined that this force was... God!

"Stop the car!" Wang Wei called out to Yuan Xiang. She turned to Du Ximiao and said, "You guys go back to the inn first. I have something to do. I'll go back after I'm done. If you see my apprentice Huo Feng, tell him to go back to the inn immediately and don't move around."

I don’t know which damn person from the underworld came to kill her.
