Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

11: Thank you, ancestors of eight generations!Ye Linglong’s figure quietly merged into the shadow behind him.

With a ”creak,” the hall doors swung wide open.

A dozen or so Disciples froze in place, their gazes locked onto the heads at their feet.

”Vi-Vice Hall Master Yu?! How could they be inside the Hall Master’s palace?” a young Disciple exclaimed in shock.

Cao Bu wiped his blood-stained dagger with a white silk cloth, unhurriedly, and said calmly, ”The three Vice Hall Masters committed insubordination; their crimes warrant execution!”

”Drag them out and feed them to the dogs.”

”And clean this place up.”

After saying this, Cao Bu stabbed the dagger into the black iron desk and walked out of the hall.

He usually stayed at Cangfeng Residence when he had nothing to do, coming here only when handling important matters.

He had come this time just to see if the three Vice Hall Masters had returned.

He hadn’t expected such an assassination attempt to be waiting for him.

The Disciples of the Dark Night Hall swallowed hard, exchanging fearful glances.

To be able to kill three Vice Hall Masters of the Void Breaking Realm, this Adopted Son of the Clan Chief was truly not simple.

From the beginning, they had wondered why an ant of the Heavenly Bridge Realm could manage the Dark Night Hall. Now, everything was clear: this Adopted Son of the Clan Chief had been hiding his cultivation.

Seeing Cao Bu approaching, they snapped out of it, immediately straightened their backs, and replied in unison, ”Yes, sir!”

Only after Cao Bu had walked far away did they dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Cao Bu’s cultivation had not improved over the years, the Killing Intent on his body was even more terrifying than that of an average Realm King.

Nothing else, the number of people who had died by his hands was at least eighty to one hundred thousand.

As for what exactly happened inside the main hall, they didn’t want to care.

Anyway, in the Dark Night Hall, they only needed to be loyal to this decisive Hall Master before them.

As for the Gu Clan members, they looked down on these low-cultivation people with different surnames.

Of course, those with high cultivation were the exception.

”Linglong!”

Upon returning to Cangfeng Residence, Cao Bu called Ye Linglong out.

”This is for you.”

He flipped his palm and took out a mass of Origin energy swirling with nine-colored radiance from the System space.

Ye Linglong took the light orb, her delicate body trembling slightly. ”W-what is this? I actually have a resonance with it?”

”The Origin of the Nine-Turn Linglong Physique,” Cao Bu explained with a smile. ”You both have the word ’Linglong’ in your names; it should be very suitable for you.”

”The Nine-Turn Linglong Physique?!”

Ye Linglong’s beautiful eyes widened. Suddenly, she threw herself into Cao Bu’s arms, her legs instinctively wrapping around his waist. ”Cao Bu, you were actually willing to give this to me! I want to thank your eight generations of ancestors.”

She knew too well how precious this Physique was.

Gu Qingtian was able to fight against a Great Emperor while at the Quasi-Emperor Peak because of his Immortal Sword Physique!

Hearing this, Cao Bu’s face darkened.

Was she complimenting him or cursing his ancestors?

However, he didn’t mind, petting her dark hair dotingly. ”While it’s fresh, hurry and initiate the Fusion.”

Ye Linglong giggled. ”This is Physique Origin; there’s no such thing as it not being fresh.”

She leaped lightly from Cao Bu, holding the nine-colored light orb, and sat down on a meditation cushion.

Her fair hands danced, forming mysterious hand seals.

The nine-colored light orb rose slowly with her movements, transforming into nine brilliant streams of light three feet above her head before merging into her body.

Seeing this, Cao Bu casually took out a gilded Talisman.

As he poured Spiritual Qi into it, the Talisman paper transformed into an orange light curtain that enveloped the quiet room.

Su Li had specially made this for him out of concern for his safety. She had made thousands of Talismans with various effects, each with different powers.

The Barrier Talisman he activated could block the detection of any expert below the World Venerable level.

Suddenly.

Nine-colored radiance bloomed around Ye Linglong, casting the entire quiet room in a dreamlike glow.

The nine streams of light circulated within her body. With every cycle, her aura grew stronger.

”Ah—”

She suddenly let out a soft moan, and specks of starlight seeped from the pores all over her body.

Her three thousand strands of dark hair danced without wind, gradually taking on a glazed luster.

Cao Bu’s pupils constricted. He saw a nine-petaled lotus mark appear on the center of Ye Linglong’s forehead, each petal swirling with a different Dao rhyme.

The Spiritual Qi in the entire quiet room suddenly became turbulent, forming a vortex that converged toward her.

”Boom!”

A pillar of nine-colored light shot into the sky, and the orange Barrier flared, containing the light pillar.

Ye Linglong’s aura climbed steadily.

Void Breaking Realm, Ninth Layer!

Three seconds later, a trace of Law wrapped around her body. The Barrier of the Realm King Realm was shattered, and her cultivation finally stopped at the Peak of the First Layer of the Realm King Realm.

Realm Kings utilize Laws!

Great Emperors control Laws!

For the same Law, only one Great Emperor can exist in a world.

Gu Qingtian had only reached the Great Emperor Realm by killing the previous Great Emperor who had attained the throne through the Sword Dao.

Now that he had undergone Ascension, the position of the Sword Dao Great Emperor was vacant.

Those Quasi-Emperors who cultivated the Sword Dao Laws were all in seclusion, striving to be the first to attain the throne.

Ye Linglong slowly opened her eyes; it seemed as if galaxies were rotating in the depths of her eyes, dazzling and bright.

She lifted her fair hand slightly, and nine phantoms appeared and disappeared behind her, each containing a different aura of Dao rhyme.

”Cao Bu, I have achieved a Breakthrough to the Realm King Realm.”

Her voice was ethereal, unable to hide her joy.

With a thought, the nine phantoms behind Ye Linglong dissipated.

The next instant, she threw herself into Cao Bu’s arms, her legs skillfully wrapping around his waist.

”Mwah!”

A loud kiss landed on Cao Bu’s forehead. Ye Linglong smiled with her eyes curved into crescents. ”This is your reward!”

Cao Bu walked to the side and sat down.

”Get down already. You’re all grown up, yet you still act like a child.”

Ye Linglong ignored him, taking the opportunity to sit on Cao Bu’s lap. She pulled his hand to wrap around her slender waist, and her hands naturally climbed onto his shoulders.

”What are you doing?”

Feeling the soft touch in his palm, Cao Bu’s fingers unconsciously caressed her slender waist.

Ye Linglong snorted. ”It’s your reward. Besides, if Su Li can sit here, why can’t I?”

Cao Bu suddenly realized, ”So that’s why you wouldn’t make a move earlier—you were jealous?”

He quickly softened his tone to coax her, ”We’re all family, why are you angry at her?”

Ye Linglong turned her face away, crystalline tears sliding down her cheeks.

”Who’s family with her! We clearly agreed back then that your first time would be mine, but you gave it to Su Li!”

Cao Bu was momentarily speechless.

That night, he really hadn’t been able to hold back!

It was all that woman Su Li’s fault; she was dressed too seductively.

Plus, after holding back for several hundred years, who could resist? He had to subdue her and let her be ravaged by him.

”Linglong, this was my fault.”

He sighed softly. ”I apologize to you, is that enough?”

Ye Linglong immediately turned from sorrow to joy. ”Fine, for the sake of the Nine-Turn Linglong Physique, I forgive you. However...”

She suddenly lowered her voice. ”You have to agree to one condition.”

Cao Bu was a bit puzzled. ”Tell me, as long as it doesn’t violate my principles, I’ll agree.”

Ye Linglong suddenly lowered her head, her ears turning red. ”I... I want your first time now.”

Hearing this, the corner of Cao Bu’s mouth twitched.

”So you were waiting for me here?”

Ye Linglong said coldly, ”Just tell me whether you agree or not.”

Cao Bu pondered for a moment and shook his head. ”Not now.”

Hearing this, two tears hung on the edge of Ye Linglong’s eye sockets again.

Cao Bu hurriedly explained, ”You are of great use to me; now is not the time.”

”You want to use me to help you achieve a Breakthrough.”

Having spent three hundred years together, Ye Linglong understood Cao Bu even better than Su Li did.

With just one look from this guy, she knew what he wanted to do.

Cao Bu nodded candidly. ”That’s right.”

Ye Linglong seemed somewhat impatient. ”Then isn’t it the same if you use me now?”

Cao Bu thought about it and still shook his head. ”It’s not worth it right now.”

Ye Linglong didn’t get angry; she was willing to become a tool for Cao Bu’s cultivation Breakthrough.

She just felt unwilling. She had fallen in love with Cao Bu at eighteen and kept her purity for over two hundred years, only for that seductive vixen Su Li to get ahead of her overnight.

Every time she thought of it, she hated Su Li so much that her teeth itched.

”How about we study it first?” Saying this, Ye Linglong excitedly pulled out a picture book.

”Look at this move, it seems pretty good. Shall we try it?” She opened the picture book and began to explain it earnestly.

Cao Bu looked at her gently. Only in front of Ye Linglong could he lower all his defenses.

Even Su Li couldn’t give him this kind of relaxed and comfortable feeling.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

”Hall Master, Ninth Elder requests an audience.” The guard reported from outside the door.

These guards were all Cultivators with different surnames.

In the Gu Clan, most of the people with different surnames were under Cao Bu’s jurisdiction.

Only those powerful experts with different surnames were directly managed by Gu Qingtian.

If Gu Yun were to succeed to the throne, he would naturally take over this part of the forces as well.

Among them, five were the strongest.

The three Grand Elders and The Black and White Elders were all in the World Venerable Realm.

Among them, The Black and White Elders were the strongest; the two were only one step away from the Quasi-Emperor Peak.

They usually only cared about cultivation when there was nothing else to do. Now, only the Three Matriarchs of the Gu Clan could command them.

These five were different from other people with different surnames; their lives and deaths were entirely in the hands of Luo Qingcheng.

”Take him to the main hall; I will come shortly.” Cao Bu ordered in a deep voice.

”Understood!”

Cao Bu rubbed Ye Linglong’s little head and said softly, ”Girl, let’s talk about it next time.”

Ye Linglong pouted, her face full of disappointment. ”Fine.”

Cao Bu smiled, opened the door, and walked out.

Ye Linglong put away the picture book and hurriedly turned into a black shadow, merging into Cao Bu’s shadow.
