After being dismissed by his little junior sister, Yu Weijie returned to his residence, which had been prepared with a magic circle. He then began to prepare the incantation, swallowing a few pills casually, and pondering how to deal with Ma En.

In fact, he had just made a serious mistake. He mistakenly thought that Guan Yi would not stop him from avenging Du Jin's death. Among their fellow disciples, only Du Jin and Guan Yi could be considered to have feelings for each other; the others were actually very indifferent.

But he didn't expect her to stand up and stop him, and what surprised him most was that she still had the courage to resist after being threatened by him. In Yu Weijie's view, if Guan Yi would stop him from avenging Ma En, then she should be weak enough to not even dare to refute him.

In any case, she had now caused him to miss the best opportunity. In fact, his best choice would have been to pretend that nothing had happened and leave directly, without revealing this matter to Guan Yi. Unfortunately, he had underestimated his little junior sister's courage at that time.

After that, he had no chance to attack. No matter what, Guan Yi was a Golden Core cultivator in the Great Perfection stage. Although she was not very good at direct combat, she would still be able to help Ma En from the sidelines.

He had also heard about Ma En killing Du Jin. Although Yu Weijie was very confident in his own strength and felt that he could defeat or even kill Du Jin under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to do it as cleanly as Ma En.

So if he really wanted to kill Ma En according to his master's hint, then the best choice would be to ambush him. Unfortunately, he had foolishly ruined this possibility, and thinking of this made him feel even more annoyed.

Now, there was only one way left for him—to join forces with Zhong Ruixue.

Her personality was purer than his, and she might not have thought of attacking Ma En yet, but she was not as simple as his little junior sister. As long as he went to tell her his thoughts, it would not be difficult to persuade her.

The problem was that Zhong Ruixue also had an almost arrogant confidence in her own sword techniques, and Yu Weijie was not sure whether she would be willing to cooperate with him.

But in any case, he should go out and find her.

"Knock, knock, knock."

But before he could prepare, there was a knock on the door.

Could it be that she had already thought of these things and came to him in advance?

"Senior Sister?" he shouted towards the door.

Silence.

Yu Weijie frowned slightly, then raised his palm towards his right rear, and a deep silver lightning bolt flew out of his palm like a flexible dragon, slamming into the empty wall.

"You're really impolite to your senior brother," Du Jin's voice echoed in the room. "Don't be afraid, I'm not your enemy."

Yu Weijie sneered:

"Senior brother? Since you're already dead, there's no need to linger around as a ghost.

"Junior brother, I haven't done anything to offend you. I was just thinking of avenging you."

Unlike Guan Yi, he didn't consider this to be his inner demon at all, because he didn't care about Du Jin's life or death in the first place. As for someone using illusions on him, it was even more impossible, because the only one who could deceive him here was his master.

He was the most skilled cultivator in this field among the disciples. If anything, he would be the one using illusions on others.

After hearing these words, the fog in the room slowly gathered into a human form, and then Du Jin's figure slowly appeared.

He looked at Yu Weijie and said with a smile:

"Revenge? I have no hatred for Ma En. He and I are just pawns of the master.

"Just like you guys."

Yu Weijie said indifferently:

"A teacher for a day is a father for life. If the master wants to use me as a pawn, then I have no complaints."

Du Jin knew very well that Yu Weijie was not this kind of person. He said this just to pretend that he didn't care about his words at all.

"We all know what kind of person you are. You can't possibly not care about what I say," Du Jin said calmly. "But don't worry, I don't want to use this information to threaten you. Because I plan to tell you the master's secret directly.

"More precisely, the secret between the master and me."

These words did arouse Yu Weijie's interest. He also didn't seem to care about anything as he showed, but he didn't show a strong desire, so as not to make Du Jin think that he could manipulate him.

"You should have seen my shattered Golden Core with your own eyes. What you saw was indeed not my lonely soul, but a wild ghost with only seven souls left. So you can also let down your guard, because I know very well that I'm already dead.

"Everything is meaningless to me, and it's impossible for me to seek any personal gain."

Yu Weijie looked him up and down, and then he noticed that Du Jin in front of him did look like a remnant of a wild ghost, but his thinking and consciousness were so clear that he didn't look like any wild ghost or lonely soul at all, just like a complete and living ghost.

And he also knew that Du Jin was really dead.

Du Jin said:

"The reason why I still look like I have a complete will is because we all practice the Carefree Art, and my seven souls have entered your Golden Core along with the master's methods, and can be attached to your three souls so real.

"Of course, this is also because your seven souls and mine have been mixed with spiritual energy and turned into spiritual mist, so my seven souls can be mixed into your almost vaporized seven souls and stay around your three souls. Strictly speaking, what you see is a mixture of my remnant and your three souls.

"My corpse is now in your soul, and my three souls have dissipated.

"I have no reason to harm you."

Yu Weijie could feel that everything his senior brother said was true, but he didn't lower his guard, because as far as he knew, his senior brother would never do anything that would benefit others, and he was only a little special when dealing with Guan Yi.

And he also noticed something:

"So you already knew that the Carefree Art had this effect, and the master's purpose in letting you attach to my three souls to linger on can't be to study this spell, right? I always feel like...

"You were originally going to seize us?"

Du Jin said with a smile:

"It's not accurate to say seize. To be more precise, I want to wait until all your seven souls are vaporized, and then plunder your seven souls out of the Golden Core and swallow them into my body. After filtering out the useless things, I will mix your understanding of cultivation into my seven souls.

"At that time, all the Dao techniques that you and Zhong Ruixue have comprehended will become my help to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. This is why the master always says that our resources are only enough for one disciple to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, because you were originally my stepping stones."

Du Jin looked a little regretful when he said this.

But Yu Weijie noticed another thing:

"So you deliberately treated us so coldly, because you had already decided to eat us from the beginning. What about Guan Yi? Why didn't you mention her just now? Could it be that you would really be soft-hearted enough to let her go?"

Du Jin admitted:

"That's right, I don't plan to kill my little junior sister. The two of you are actually enough for me. Moreover, your diligence and talent and Zhong Ruixue's have all exceeded the master's and my initial expectations. The master may want to use her as a substitute.

"But unless I have to, I really don't plan to kill Guan Yi. Don't think that I'm cruel to the two of you, senior brother, after all, you and Zhong Ruixue and the little junior sister are not the same kind of people at all. If any of you were in my position, you would not hesitate to take my Golden Core.

"Only the little junior sister would be soft-hearted to us."

Yu Weijie smiled:

"But she just stopped me from avenging you."

A few traces of sadness also flashed across Du Jin's face:

"She is a good child who is easily soft-hearted. Although this does make me a little sad, it is precisely because she would do that at that time that I decided not to let her get involved in this matter, but now I have no way to influence the master's decision.

"I hope the master won't let her get involved in this matter either."

Yu Weijie asked:

"Then why did the master put your seven souls into my Golden Core? Is this related to the secret between you and the master?"

Du Jin looked at him and said:

"Of course, he originally wanted me to seize your understanding of spells, and Zhong Ruixue's understanding of sword techniques, and combine them with my own understanding of cultivating to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, only half a step away from the Nascent Soul, and directly step into the Nascent Soul.

"But before you could turn all your seven souls into a misty state, an accident happened, and that was Ma En, and he killed me. If my remaining seven souls were allowed to dissipate, then his plan would be directly shelved, and he couldn't possibly watch this happen.

"So he decided to let you directly devour my remaining seven souls in reverse. The secret technique I cultivated can not only allow me to plunder other people's seven souls, but also make my own seven souls very easy to integrate into your seven souls, so that your understanding of cultivation can also be obtained by you.

"In addition, you will also get my understanding of secret techniques. At that time, you will also be able to plunder Zhong Ruixue's insights and understanding, but I suspect that she may have also obtained my seven souls. I don't think I'm that complete.

"If I'm not mistaken, the master wants you to kill each other and get a cultivator with the seven souls of the three of us again. It doesn't matter who survives in the end, whether it's you or Zhong Ruixue, but if it's just like this, you only need to go and fight her to the death.

"But the problem is that there is now an extra Ma En, and he also has an Outer Dao Heavenly Demon Body, and his physique can't be directly swallowed by turning into mist in the Golden Core stage, that is, you are actually Ma En's nourishment. The master wants to use your and my seven souls to feed that Ma En.

"So if you and Zhong Ruixue want to live, you can't go and fight him as the master arranged. That way, you will only become Ma En's stepping stones. You have to take advantage of the master's lack of reaction and run away, taking Guan Yi to exchange for the Federation's protection."

Du Jin's words surprised Yu Weijie a little.

"You want us to save Guan Yi," Yu Weijie said thoughtfully. "But I don't think we are Ma En's stepping stones. If that's the case, the master can directly take our Golden Cores and feed Ma En, without going to so much trouble.

"And I don't completely agree with what you said that Ma En's Outer Dao Heavenly Demon Body can't be plundered. If he cultivates the method of turning into mist, his body can also turn into spiritual mist. How can it be impossible to plunder? Could it be that I can only plunder the seven souls, but not the body?

"Even if it really doesn't work, I have also cultivated other methods of seizing bodies. If I can really collect your and Zhong Ruixue's seven souls, I think it won't be difficult to directly let the three souls occupy his body with the seven souls that have turned into mist. The master's choice to retreat is to give us a chance.

"Since the final cultivator can have no difference in talent, then he must hope to have a disciple with the best temperament. What can be better than this kind of real life-and-death fight to see a person's temperament in the short term?"

Du Jin looked at him and questioned with a serious expression:

"Do you think you will have any good results after you survive? After the master taught me this secret technique, I have been considering his purpose. Have you not thought about what will happen after you become a Nascent Soul? Do you really think the master wants to cultivate some disciple?

"If I might have hesitated a little before, but after seeing Ma En, I understood that he can't possibly want to cultivate a Nascent Soul cultivator with a Heavenly Demon Outer Dao Body, but wants to get his Outer Dao Heavenly Demon Body himself.

"You know how obsessed the master is with the word Heavenly Demon."

Yu Weijie looked at him with a sneer and said:

"You are underestimating the master too much. How can Carefree be a cultivator who is so obsessed with small paths? Even if he eats me after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, it is impossible for him to break through to the Half Immortal stage so easily. In that case, why doesn't he directly drive me to help him spread the Dharma?

"I think the master just needs a Nascent Soul stage helper. His purpose is to spread the Carefree Art here, and let the mortals of the Barren Realm embark on cultivation. At that time, he can eat as many Golden Cores and Nascent Souls as he wants, and it is impossible to be anxious to kill me first.

"At that time, if he leaks a little soup to me, I can sit firmly in the Nascent Soul stage. There are mortals from the Barren Realm everywhere here. He will definitely need a helper from the same place. At that time, my identity will be far more important than cultivation and understanding.

"In fact, I don't think you are so stupid. I also vaguely know why you said this. You actually deliberately didn't say that Guan Yi might also get your seven souls, because you want to hide your true purpose.

"You are actually worried that Guan Yi will be killed by us, so you want me and Zhong Ruixue to escort her to the Federation for protection.

"Am I right?"

Du Jin's face sank when his purpose was seen through, and he still insisted on persuading:

"Junior brother, don't be obsessed anymore. The master won't let you go. Even if he really needs a helper, how can you be sure that you will be the one who survives in this trial?

"You still have a way out now."

But he didn't intend to listen to his persuasion anymore:

"Senior brother, please help me achieve enlightenment."

As he said that, Yu Weijie opened his mouth and spat out a long-brewing cyan flame towards Du Jin's seven souls.
