I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Yu Weijie truly opened his eyes.

He had just killed the remaining consciousness and memories in Du Jin's seven souls, absorbed his understanding of cultivation, and glimpsed many secrets in his heart and the spells he had mastered. Among the many spells, the most important was naturally the secret technique for plundering the seven souls.

And Du Jin's memory also answered many of his questions. He had indeed exaggerated the possibility of Xiaoyao acting against them, because Du Jin's remaining seven souls no longer had any desires, only the desire to avenge Xiaoyao for killing him.

That's why he didn't want Xiaoyao to succeed, wanting them to defect to the Federation, and also to protect Guan Yi, who possessed the Federation's coveted pill-making techniques. Moreover, his and Zhong Ruixue's skills were of considerable value to the Federation. If they did as he said, Yu Weijie believed that as long as they successfully escaped from here, their treatment would definitely not be bad.

It was just a pity that he preferred to follow his master and seek the Great Dao rather than working for the mortals of the Barren World. Before his death, Du Jin also regarded the battle with Ma En as a trial given by Xiaoyao, but unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to complete the test.

And now, the secret technique he had obtained was also a test given to their disciples by Xiaoyao. If he and Du Jin's guess were correct, Zhong Ruixue and Guan Yi had also obtained this secret technique, and Xiaoyao definitely had a way to allow Ma En to obtain their insights and experiences in mastering the secret technique.

In other words, the last one of the four of them would gather the other three's understanding of the Dao, and also seize Ma En's heretical demon body, which was extremely suitable for cultivating Xiaoyao's skills, through some means, becoming the master's most "promising" disciple.

All four of them had a chance to stand at the end, and this was their master's "benevolence."

But although this whole matter and the secret technique were very important, the most useful thing for him at the moment was actually Du Jin's valuable experience in cultivating to near the Nascent Soul bottleneck. He had been cultivating for many years and didn't lack spiritual energy, and he was only half a step away from the completion of the Golden Core.

In fact, this half step was like a chasm for Golden Core cultivators. Yu Weijie originally wanted to use spells to find the path to the completion of the Golden Core, but now with the experience from Du Jin, he only needed time and spiritual energy to achieve the perfect completion of the Golden Core.

So did they.

Thinking of this, he couldn't care about anything else. He arranged a few things casually, then sat down cross-legged on the spot, took out the spiritual pills that Xiaoyao had prepared for him this month, and swallowed them whole.

If he had obtained the experience of other cultivators, he wouldn't dare to forcibly break through to the completion of the Golden Core now, but Du Jin's understanding of cultivation far surpassed other common Golden Core completions. He had been in this realm for decades. If it were someone else, they might have tried to break through to the Nascent Soul, but Du Jin had devoted all his energy to consolidating his foundation, because he had been waiting for Yu Weijie and Zhong Ruixue to cultivate well.

As he expected, with Du Jin's experience, Yu Weijie's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul was like a hot knife through butter, without encountering any obstacles at all, as if he had secretly rehearsed it dozens of times, and the time it took was even as short as half an hour.

"Hoo…" Yu Weijie exhaled heavily. Now he had finally crossed the barrier that had blocked him for many years. The spiritual energy in his body was as balanced as if he had been at the completion of the Golden Core for decades, and he was only half a step away from the Nascent Soul.

But just as he was about to stand up and leave, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

Buzz!

Two golden lights flashed, Yu Weijie raised his right hand, using his index and middle fingers to block in front of him, and then a silver-white cold light flickered slightly in front of him, then steadily stopped in front of his two fingers.

Yu Weijie pinched the silver long sword with two fingers and said:

"You're late, Senior Sister."

After saying this, he slightly relaxed the strength of his two fingers, and the silver flying sword broke free from his hand and flew directly towards the outside of the house, directly hitting the wooden door, and飘逸ly landed behind the woman outside the door.

"You haven't neglected your cultivation." Zhong Ruixue stepped into the broken wooden door, "You've also reached the completion of the Golden Core?"

Yu Weijie smiled confidently:

"Senior Brother also came to find you."

Zhong Ruixue nodded:

"That's right, I didn't expect him to be so resentful of the Ma En who killed him, and he insisted that I avenge him."

These words made Yu Weijie a little surprised, because the Du Jin who had just come to find him didn't resent Ma En, but didn't want Xiaoyao to succeed. He didn't seem to have any hatred for Ma En, who had really killed him, but now that he thought about it…

This didn't seem like Du Jin's nature.

Yu Weijie tentatively asked:

"He also wants you to avenge him."

Zhong Ruixue raised her finger and pointed to her head:

"He wanted to stuff his hatred into my here, but unfortunately, in front of my sword energy, that wild ghost could only scream and dissipate, becoming a stepping stone for me to break through to the completion of the Golden Core. But no matter what, we have to go find Ma En.

"After all, you definitely don't want to miss the heretical demon body."

The tone of these words sounded a little strange to Yu Weijie. Her meaning seemed to be that she had some way to obtain Ma En's heretical demon body, but as far as he knew, his Senior Sister didn't master any seizing techniques. These were his specialties.

The situation gradually became clearer and clearer in his mind. The Du Jin that Zhong Ruixue saw had different purposes from the one he encountered. In fact, thinking about it carefully, this was more reasonable. After all, a person only had seven souls. He couldn't put all seven souls in three people's minds at the same time.

So in fact, Du Jin's remaining seven souls were divided into three parts by the master, which caused him to show different faces. The Du Jin that the master stuffed into his Golden Core didn't resent Ma En, because all of his hatred for Ma En was in Zhong Ruixue's hands.

Thinking about it this way, he also began to suspect that Zhong Ruixue's Du Jin might also have mastered some seizing secret technique based on Xiaoyao's skills, because she didn't seem like him who could directly seize others, so the master gave her special care.

Yu Weijie then said:

"I think you should have thought of something, right?"

Zhong Ruixue said:

"We have to cooperate."

This was what he thought. If Zhong Ruixue hadn't broken through to the completion of the Golden Core yet, then he might have used his cultivation advantage to kill and plunder Zhong Ruixue's understanding of swordsmanship first. She must have thought so before coming here.

But if they still attacked each other now, the result would definitely be a lose-lose situation. Their chances of winning were not high, and even if they killed each other, the benefits they obtained would be far less than those brought by Du Jin's seven souls, because they were both good at killing techniques.

If the two of them joined forces, their combat power would increase by at least 80% compared to fighting alone, and might even approach a doubling effect, but even if they killed each other and plundered their seven souls and experience, the improvement would probably only be about 50%, and they would definitely not be able to break through to the Nascent Soul by relying on the few of them alone.

Otherwise, Xiaoyao would have let them kill each other long ago.

Then, as former fellow disciples, they would definitely have the tacit understanding to join forces to kill Ma En. After he died, they would have plenty of time to slowly choose the final victor. Of course, there was another important reason why they had this tacit understanding.

"Ma En is not an opponent that we can defeat alone." Yu Weijie said the reason, "Even if one of us kills the other, we may not be able to say that we can steadily win against the Federation, not to mention that it seems that Guan Yi is still standing on his side."

This was the real reason for their alliance. With Guan Yi's help, even if they won here, they didn't have a particularly high chance of defeating that Ma En. Although Ma En was a barbarian from the Barren World, he and Zhong Ruixue had originally looked down on Ma En a little, but they had just obtained Du Jin's remaining seven souls.

They could see the battle in which he was defeated by Ma En. Although Du Jin's performance at that time would definitely be far inferior to the two of them who had broken through to the completion of the Golden Core not long ago, they themselves didn't have the confidence to achieve that kind of suppression against Ma En in that battle.

And it seemed that Ma En could be said to be somewhat at ease, which made them a little more vigilant.

Zhong Ruixue said with some surprise:

"Guan Yi is also standing on his side."

Yu Weijie nodded, and then said:

"Before seeing Du Jin's remnant souls, I once went directly to find Ma En. At that time, I had some guesses that the master might be hinting that we should take action in advance to solve Ma En during his seclusion, and when I got there, Ma En was breathing spiritual energy.

"So at that time, I wanted to directly kill him, but I didn't expect Guan Yi to stop me. Even if I mentioned how much Du Jin had taken care of her before, she still insisted that she didn't want me to attack Ma En."

The most ridiculous thing was that the "Du Jin" who had just come to find him also knew about this, but he still wanted to protect his junior sister, and even wanted to trick himself into using him and Zhong Ruixue to escort Guan Yi to obtain the protection of the Federation.

But she coldly wanted to protect Ma En.

Zhong Ruixue had a slightly different view on this sentence:

"I don't think there's anything wrong with Guan Yi doing this. How do you know how much of Du Jin's care for her over the years was sincere, and how much was because she mastered the art of alchemy and weapon refining, and she was originally that kind of guy.

"We should be glad that Guan Yi is this kind of person, because this means that we have one less competitor."

Zhong Ruixue would say this because the Du Jin she had just met didn't care about her junior sister at all, and even suggested to her when she met her that she should first kill Guan Yi to obtain her seven souls, and then join forces with Yu Weijie to find Ma En for revenge.

"Then you will be the master's only remaining disciple."

These were Du Jin's original words.

After knowing that Du Jin didn't care about Guan Yi at all, Zhong Ruixue felt that Guan Yi's actions further highlighted that she was not as simple as she looked. In fact, deep down in Guan Yi's heart, she had already felt that Du Jin's relationship with her was not as good as it seemed on the surface, so she firmly stood up to stop Yu Weijie from attacking Ma En, and that was why she didn't think there was anything wrong with Ma En killing Du Jin.

"But if she also gets Du Jin's remaining seven souls…" Zhong Ruixue said hesitantly, "Do you think she will still stand by Ma En's side and fight against us? Do you think it's possible for her to be our spy."

Yu Weijie could see that she didn't expect herself to give a definite answer:

"No, I don't think so. Although I'm a little angry that Xiaoyi dared to talk back to me, if she hadn't gotten Du Jin's seven souls at that time, it would mean that she was actually braver than I thought, and you also know that she is the most naive of us.

"Whether in the Barren World or in the cultivation world, she has Du Jin's shelter and protection, and she can't get in touch with anything cruel at all, especially after coming to this cruel and crazy Barren World, she still retains the mentality of staying in the cultivation world.

"She still thinks in the way that this place is protected by the Heavenly Court, and feels that we shouldn't collude with evil when we encounter it, so she will definitely not take the initiative to attack us, and if we attack her, we will be equivalent to the evil cultivators in the cultivation world.

"Then she will naturally stand up to stop us."

In fact, according to his idea, the most Guan Yi should do is to seek the protection of the Federation, just like Du Jin told him. He didn't know if the Du Jin that his little junior sister met would tell her to do so, but Yu Weijie didn't think she could escape from the master's palm.

Zhong Ruixue said:

"That is, we have to kill her first?"

This was a very reasonable idea. If they were to deal with Ma En and Guan Yi at the same time, then eliminating the slightly weaker junior sister first could be said to be an indispensable step for them to achieve victory.

But when it came to this, their expressions were a little hesitant.

Although they weren't as enthusiastic about Guan Yi as Du Jin was, Guan Yi was still their little junior sister, and they had accumulated a very deep relationship after so many years of getting along. Even if they didn't really confide in each other, they had all "become accustomed" to the existence of the little junior sister.

After a pause of more than ten seconds, Yu Weijie broke the silence:

"We still have to kill each other at that time. Blame it on the little junior sister for joining the master's sect."

In fact, Zhong Ruixue was just saying it. In any case, she would definitely kill Guan Yi, but it was a little difficult emotionally. Killing Yu Weijie and killing Guan Yi were two completely different things for her.

One was an enemy who killed each other, and the other was closer to an innocent person who was slaughtered by her.

"Then who will do it at that time." Zhong Ruixue then asked, "We all want to get her seven souls, but we all know that the person who gets the little junior sister's seven souls first will get the advantage in the next battle.

"And one of us has to hold back Ma En, it seems that the risk and reward of this job are not proportional?"

It should be known that the person who can kill the little junior sister doesn't need to hold back Ma En.

Yu Weijie knew that none of them could back down on this matter:

"Then we will all hold back Ma En head-on. You use the flying sword, and I use the spirit beast to deal with Guan Yi. At that time, we will each rely on our own abilities, and whoever kills first gets it first, but in any case, we have to kill Ma En first, and we must not fight each other before he dies.

"And we can't plot against each other because of Guan Yi's matter."

Zhong Ruixue nodded:

"I agree with this."

"Then it's settled" Yu Weijie suppressed something in his heart.

If Zhong Ruixue mastered the secret technique of seizing Ma En's body, then when they killed Ma En, Zhong Ruixue would have a great advantage in seizing Ma En's body, and if she really succeeded, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?

In other words, if he wanted to win, he would have to strike Zhong Ruixue when they gained the upper hand, using secret techniques to obtain the soul-seizing technique that only Zhong Ruixue knew. But…

Why did he feel that this was an arrangement deliberately made by his master to ensure Ma En's victory?
