Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The mountaintop was silent, so silent that only the faint sound of the wind could be heard.

Mu Ciyin was very quiet. The night wind blew her silky blue hair, and a few strands stuck to Jun Wuxie's face, tickling him with a captivating fragrance.

Jun Wuxie's playful side suddenly emerged. He twirled a strand of her hair with his fingers, gently tickling her ice-jade-like white skin with the ends.

Mu Ciyin suddenly turned her head to look at him, her ice-snow-like eyes clear and cold. Just when Jun Wuxie thought she would be unhappy, she suddenly smiled and said softly, "Don't be mischievous."

In that instant, even the bright moon in the sky paled in comparison, losing its luster under her smiling face.

Jun Wuxie was somewhat dazed, deeply amazed in his heart.

His master's beauty possessed an irresistible power.

"Look at how silly you look with that gaze. You're not allowed to look at your teacher like that."

Mu Ciyin's expression was serious, but her voice was less cold and more gentle.

"If I don't look at my master, who else would I let look? Besides, with such a beautiful master, wouldn't I miss the most beautiful scenery in the world if I didn't look more?"

At this moment, Jun Wuxie's previous fear of亵渎her diminished, and he spoke much more boldly than before.

"You're so glib, I don't know who you learned it from." Mu Ciyin's words carried a hint of blame, and then she looked at him seriously and said, "Is your teacher really that good-looking?"

"Of course!"

Jun Wuxie was a little surprised that she would ask such a question. Who in the Upper Realm didn't know that Iceheart Immortal Mu Ciyin had an immortal grace and jade bones, with peerless beauty and unparalleled elegance?

"Master is the most beautiful woman in the Upper Realm. When did you become so unconfident?"

Jun Wuxie teased her.

Mu Ciyin shook her head gently and said, "Aesthetics are very subjective. Everyone has different standards of beauty in their hearts. Even if the whole world says that I am beautiful, who knows if you really think so in your heart."

Her clear and cold voice made Jun Wuxie hear a hint of loss.

Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment, and then boldly tried to say, "Is it because these days I have been close to Qingyu, close to Aunt Jing, close to Qingcheng…"

"No."

Mu Ciyin interrupted him directly, as if afraid that he would say the words that followed.

Jun Wuxie had seen countless women. He didn't dare to think about it in the past, but these days, Master Ciyin's reactions were telling him that maybe he could really boldly think in that direction.

Even though she was Iceheart Immortal Mu Ciyin, even though the world knew that she was pure-hearted and detached and had a indifferent temperament.

It was just that her jealousy should come from the emotions between master and disciple, perhaps different from other masters and disciples, but in her heart it was not that kind of affection between men and women, at least that was what she thought.

"I know why Master is occasionally unhappy."

He thought for a while and said such a sentence.

"Why?"

Mu Ciyin's eyes were a little surprised.

"It must be because I have neglected Master. I am Master's closest person and the person Master cares about most in this world. I shouldn't neglect Master. How about I take time to accompany Master more in the future?"

Jun Wuxie had his own ideas in his heart. Some things should be put on the agenda and gradually subtly influence her.

Because the matter of the source had not yet been resolved.

Although, currently speaking, Master Ciyin had not mentioned giving him the source, but if one day in the future, something unpredictable happened, and only her source could help him, what choice would she make?

With her temperament, she would definitely choose to sacrifice herself!

Dual cultivation was impossible, at least with her current state of mind developing in this way, it was absolutely impossible for her to make such a choice.

Jun Wuxie knew very well that in Master Ciyin's heart, the ethical shackles of master and disciple were too heavy, deeply imprisoning her.

In order to avoid irreversible consequences in the future, he decided to start攻略Master Ciyin from now on, and gradually dismantle the shackles that imprisoned her from the relationship between master and disciple.

"I'm very happy that you can think this way."

Mu Ciyin was in a great mood. What she feared most was that there would be more and more close people around him, and that their relationship would become estranged because of this. After all, no matter how close she and he were, they could not compare to the relationship between him and his imperial consorts.

Often, she had a worry in her heart that the person she loved and cared about most would be snatched away.

"I have always thought this way in my heart, and I will always think this way. In my heart, you, Mu Ciyin, are the best and most considerate master, not the cold and indifferent Iceheart Immortal in the eyes of others. The Iceheart Immortal has no warmth for others, but Master can give me warmth."

"You only know how to say words that your teacher likes to hear."

Mu Ciyin had a shallow smile on her lips, and the coldness in her eyes had completely faded away, replaced only by tenderness.

Jun Wuxie's words were like arrows that could hit the bullseye with every shot, striking the softest and most sensitive place in her heart.

"Then can Master Ciyin let me hug you?"

Jun Wuxie said tentatively, his clear eyes only showing the disciple's affection for the master. As for the true thoughts in his heart, only he knew.

Although doing so made him feel a little guilty, he had no choice but to do so, otherwise it might cost her her life in the future, which he absolutely could not accept.

"You're such a big person already." Mu Ciyin teased him, without suspecting his motives at all, "Your teacher is a woman, and you are a man. It's never good for men and women to hug."

"Is that so?" Jun Wuxie shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It seems that I didn't think carefully. I thought that the relationship between master and disciple was deep, and there was no need to care about these things, especially since it was just a simple hug. I didn't expect Master to care so much. I was being presumptuous…"

Looking at the loss in his eyes, Mu Ciyin couldn't bear it in her heart. Thinking about what he said, it seemed to make sense.

Their relationship between master and disciple was deep, so why should they care about these things?

As long as it wasn't the kind of hug between men and women, but just a hug between master and disciple, then what was wrong with it?

"Alright, seeing how disappointed you are, your teacher will give you a hug." Mu Ciyin's gentle eyes carried a hint of apology, "Your teacher was too concerned just now. It was my fault."

After saying that, she moved her body closer to him.

Jun Wuxie was overjoyed. The first step of the攻略was successful. Although there was still a long way to go in the future, the first battle was a great victory, which greatly encouraged him.

Immediately, he reached out and embraced Mu Ciyin's soft body into his arms. His arms did not tighten, but only gently hugged her. The fragrance of her hair made him unable to help but be a little intoxicated.

Immediately, he guarded his mind and repeatedly told himself not to be fascinated by her beauty, otherwise, revealing flaws might cause her strong resistance, and then there would be no chance to攻略her in the future.

He had originally thought of hugging her briefly, but he never thought that Master Ciyin would not intend to leave, just leaning on his body like this, looking at the huge moon in the sky. The moonlight sprinkled on her fair face, creating a layer of luster, which was even smoother and more delicate than peerless beautiful jade.

He could feel that Mu Ciyin's state of mind was very peaceful, especially relaxed, and she seemed to enjoy this feeling very much.

Such a shallow embrace and closeness made him feel completely different from hugging other women.

This was a closeness that did not contain the affection between men and women, but only pure intimacy between master and disciple.

Although there were almost no masters and disciples like this in this world, she seemed to firmly believe that this was pure master-disciple affection and was intoxicated by it.

Jun Wuxie understood this point and felt more and more relaxed in his heart. In this way, this path would be relatively smoother, and there would be a chance to gradually make her accustomed to his intimacy and gradually dismantle the shackles in her heart.

The reason why he had the confidence to use such a攻略was that there was a very important reason, that was, although Master Ciyin had cultivated for a long time, her experience in the mortal world was actually very little, especially her understanding of emotions, which could be said to be far inferior to ordinary people in the mortal world.

… …

The next morning, the first ray of dawn in the east broke through the clouds and awakened the vitality of the earth.

Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin left the mountaintop and returned to the small courtyard hand in hand.

Even when she saw Jingya and others in the courtyard, she didn't intend to let go.

Her expression was very natural, without the slightest pretense. In her opinion, it was only right for her to be close to her disciple, and there was no need to care about the eyes of others.

Jingya and Qing'er looked at each other, and a strange look flashed in their eyes. Yan Qingcheng and Ling Qingyu were stunned for a moment, feeling incredible and shocked in their hearts.

After all, this was Iceheart Immortal Mu Ciyin.

Did she really not know the difference between men and women?

Even if it was a master and disciple, it shouldn't be like this, especially in front of so many people, behaving so naturally, as if this was a normal thing.

But no one mentioned this topic, and they just pretended they didn't see it.

"Husband, father and the others are already waiting in front of the mountain gate."

Ling Qingyu moved her gaze away from the hands that Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin were holding.

"Then let's go now."

Only then did he let go of Mu Ciyin's soft, slightly cool 素hand.

… …

In front of the Demon Clan's mountain gate, Ling Wuse and Nanli Jingwei, as well as a group of elder kings, were already waiting here.

Apart from them, there were no young disciples of the Demon Clan.

"Aren't you bringing anyone else?"

Ling Qingyu was a little surprised.

"There's no need. Only the three of you will participate in the ranking competition. After the ranking competition is set, your father will come back to choose the candidates to enter the secret realm."

After he finished speaking, he sacrificed a beautiful peacock feather, which quickly grew larger in the air. He jumped onto the feather, signaling everyone to come up.

The peacock feather pierced through the air, extremely fast. The mountains and rivers below flickered, and the sky changed.

Although the Demon Clan was far from the Martial Ancestor Hall's ranking competition venue, the Peacock Feather's speed was extremely fast, and it arrived in just a quarter of an hour.

This place was located in the vast mountains.

The battleground for the ranking competition was on a mountain surrounded by these mountains.

The middle mountain was cut off from the mountainside, the cross-section was flat, and a defensive formation was set up.

Looking around the surrounding mountains, they were all filled with people from various major forces in the Eastern Region.

Besides the five Overlord forces, there were also Quasi-Overlord level dynasties and sects, and then the high-level forces below Quasi-Overlord.

Each force didn't send many people, only a dozen or twenty, but because there were so many forces, the number of people here reached hundreds of thousands.

"Hahaha, Demon Lord Ling is here."

The Hall Master of the Martial Ancestor Hall and the Sect Master of the Saintly Medicine Sect greeted him with smiles.

The Hall Master of the Martial Ancestor Hall was a robust old man, looking about sixty years old, but his energy was very full, and his blood was abundant. Even through his clothes, you could see the muscles bulging on his body.

The Sect Master of the Saintly Medicine Sect looked even older, with some gray in his beard. His face was gaunt, giving him a detached feeling, and his eyes were very gentle.

"Demon Lord Ling, have you been well?" Qing Mu Ran, the family head of the Qingmu Ancient Family, who looked middle-aged, had a faint Qingmu light flowing on the surface of his body, and his eyes were very sharp. He glanced at Ling Wuse and the others, and said, "It seems that Demon Lord Ling is preparing to let these three participate in the ranking competition. I don't know if Demon Lord Ling is confident or arrogant!"

On the day of Jun Wuxie and Ling Qingyu's engagement, his Qingmu Family lost all face, especially his son, the Qingmu Holy Son, who was utterly disgraced.

Qing Mu Ran had always doted on his son, and anger had accumulated in his heart. As soon as they met, his words were barbed.

Ling Wuse was about to retort, but Jun Wuxie spoke first. He looked at Qing Mu Ran indifferently and said, "Whether it's confidence or arrogance, is it up to you to decide with your lips?"

"Jun Wuxie, you are presumptuous! This family head is talking to your father-in-law, what right do you have to interrupt!"

Qing Mu Ran didn't expect that this Jun Wuxie would actually retort to him in public, causing his anger to burn and a flash of cold light to appear in his eyes.

Everyone was alarmed, not expecting that the Ling Family of the Demon Clan and the Qingmu Family Head would be at odds as soon as they met, and they all began to watch.

"Is the so-called qualification of the Qingmu Family Head based on seniority?" Jun Wuxie was not angry, his expression still calm. As he spoke, he directly took out the corpse of the Soul Hunting Envoy and threw it over, "The Qingmu Family Head might as well study it first before talking about qualifications."

Qing Mu Ran only saw a black shadow flying towards him, and was angry in his heart. Just as he was about to strike it down, he recognized that it was the corpse of the Soul Hunting Envoy, and his hair stood on end, and he retreated violently.

"Hahaha, Qingmu Family Head, are you frightened by the corpse of the Soul Hunting Envoy? A rat like the Soul Hunting Envoy, hidden in the shadows, should be诛 by everyone in the world. Just a mere corpse is enough to scare the Qingmu Family Head away, which is really unbelievable."

Such words were too sharp and pointed, causing Qing Mu Ran's chest to rise and fall violently, his face burning, and he felt utterly humiliated.

He was the head of an Overlord force. Although the Soul Hunting Sacred Hall was terrifying, it had brought too many tragedies and killings to the world since ancient times, and was hated by everyone, but they only dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

Now, the corpse of the Soul Hunting Envoy had frightened him, making him avoid it like a viper, which was really embarrassing in front of the forces of the world.

"You!"

Qing Mu Ran gritted his teeth tightly, wishing he could immediately go forward and kill Jun Wuxie under his palm!

Damn it!

This brat is extremely hateful, making him lose all face, but he is helpless.

"The Qingmu Family Head doesn't need to underestimate himself. After all, this is the corpse of a Soul Hunting Envoy in the Holy Ancestor Realm. Although they are already dead, their remaining power is still there. It is understandable that the Qingmu Family Head, as the head of an ancient family, is afraid."

Jun Wuxie pretended to smooth things over for him, but these words, like invisible slaps, slapped Qing Mu Ran's face fiercely, causing a mouthful of old blood to surge to his throat, almost spitting it out.

This hateful little brat actually said that he underestimated himself!

It's simply a joke. He, the dignified head of the Qingmu Ancient Family, holding the power of the Overlord force, would underestimate himself?

His status and position were so lofty, he should be high above, overlooking all living beings, but today he was ridiculed in public by a junior!
