Especially, that scene of being alone in the cave of the Ba Mountain Secret Realm... Although at that time, my heart did not stir much, Mr. Mu was indeed the only man I had ever been alone with in my life!

As the memories surfaced in her mind, the originally clear eyes of the Third Princess of Great Xia suddenly became a bit misty. After a moment, her eyebrows suddenly rose.

"If Mr. Mu can truly help Ying'Er out of her current predicament and help the Great Xia Dynasty eliminate the dark clouds hanging over our heads, let alone just calling him 'husband' once, even if he really wants... to marry Ying'Er, Ying'Er would agree! Moreover, with Mr. Mu's great talents and gifts, for him to be Ying'Er's Prince Consort, Ying'Er would be more than willing! Ying'Er would not feel wronged!"

Saying this, she slightly lowered her head, hesitated momentarily, then softly uttered, "Husband!"

At this moment, the light in the secret chamber was dim. Xiaoo Ying'Er herself was already extraordinarily beautiful, and under the dim light, her elegance was even more striking!

It was just a pity. At this moment, Lin Xuankong was dozens of miles away. He couldn't see Xiaoo Ying'Er's peerless beauty, let alone the slight shyness now gracing the face of this usually dignified Third Princess!

Lin Xuankong's voice came through, "Hmm!"

Upon hearing Lin Xuankong's affirmation, Xiaoo Ying'Er's expression immediately froze, her clear eyes filled with a complex emotion.

In the next instant, Lin Xuankong felt a large amount of insight about the Blood Bath Divine Skill flood into his mind.

He forced himself to say, "Third Princess, please wait a moment, I have some urgent matters! I will discuss with you shortly how to deal with Cao Yu!"

"Hmm, Mr.... Mr. Mu, if you have business, please go ahead!" Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er said, a hint of surprise in her voice.

A strange feeling arose in her heart. Mr. Mu asking her to call him 'husband' just so he could deal with Cao Yu—was he serious? This surely was a condition! Or perhaps Mr. Mu had some feelings for her all along and was using this opportunity to express them? But with Mr. Mu's great talents, how could he not know that Ying'Er's heart is in turmoil now, with no mind for romance! Expressing his feelings at this time… he really has poor timing!

For a moment, a thousand thoughts raced through Xiaoo Ying'Er's mind, yet the more she pondered, the more confused she became, unable to make sense of it.

「At the Lin Residence,」

A little over an hour later, Lin Xuankong finally recovered from the massive influx of information. He sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, carefully contemplating the many cultivation techniques of the Blood Bath Divine Skill.

Moments later, the large characters of his Life Plate in his mind slightly changed:

[Wife Xiaoo Ying'Er: Profound Phoenix Strange Vein.

Blood Bath Divine Skill: Returning to the Essence 42/1000]

At this moment, having mastered the Blood Bath Divine Skill, Lin Xuankong's eyes showed a hint of joyous surprise.

This Blood Bath Divine Skill truly lives up to its name as the first Divine Technique of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect of the Great Xia Dynasty!

While this secret art doesn't match the Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique in terms of boosting explosive power, it still provides a fivefold increase—higher than that of the Kui Ox Drum. The critical aspect is that once activated, it can absorb massive amounts of an opponent's Qi Blood and True Qi through contact!

Cultivators of the same tier, upon contact, could have their True Qi instantly absorbed and converted for his use. The higher the realm, the faster the absorption. Once cultivated to a High Realm, contact isn't even necessary; True Qi can be used for ranged attacks to absorb and convert an opponent's True Qi!

Moreover, the most powerful aspect of the Blood Bath Divine Skill is its healing capability. Once cultivated to a High Realm, it can heal one's own injuries by absorbing an opponent's True Qi. Even if internal organs are damaged, bones shattered, or meridians destroyed, activating the technique allows for rapid recovery—even more terrifying than the Marsh Python's regenerative abilities! After all, the Marsh Python's regeneration relies on water sources, whereas the Blood Bath Divine Skill only needs to absorb an opponent's True Qi to recover swiftly!

Of course, to achieve the healing effect of the Blood Bath Divine Skill, one must at least reach the realm of Great Success in Micro Mastery. The higher the realm, the stronger and faster the recovery. At an extremely High Realm, it's almost akin to the Undying Body of a Profound Phoenix True Spirit, with regenerative abilities comparable to a Divine Demon!

No wonder this technique is called Great Xia's First Divine Technique. It can attack, absorb True Qi, and heal—one Divine Technique with multiple miraculous uses!

Naturally, like the Young Lady's Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique, this Blood Bath Divine Skill also has extremely high bloodline requirements. Ordinary cultivators simply cannot cultivate it to a High Realm...

Having obtained another Divine Technique, a Secret Technique, the crucial part is that this significantly enhances my chances of dealing with Cao Yu!

Lin Xuankong's mood greatly improved. He walked quickly towards Li Xiaohu, who was guarding the courtyard gate.

Secretly circulating the Blood Bath Divine Skill, Lin Xuankong stretched out his hand and touched Little Hu. Immediately, Little Hu trembled all over, and the True Qi in his body instantly vanished!

Li Xiaohu, sensing the changes in his body, showed a surprised expression. "Elder Lin, what secret technique is this? It's terrifying how it can instantly dissipate my True Qi!"

Lin Xuankong smiled without speaking, circulated his True Qi again, and poured it back into Little Hu.

Li Xiaohu was stunned. "Elder Lin, the True Qi is back... what are you doing?"

Preparing to practice a few more times, Lin Xuankong patted Little Hu's head, and Little Hu trembled again.

After repeating this dozens of times and confirming there were no issues with performing the Blood Bath Divine Skill, Lin Xuankong finally let Little Hu go.

Li Xiaohu, weak all over, leaned against the steps, looking at Lin Xuankong with a strange expression. "Elder Lin~~~~~ what is this?"

Lin Xuankong laughed heartily. "Go back to the Feng Family and wait for my good news!"

After speaking, he leaped away, leaving the astonished Little Hu sitting there.

「Dozens of breaths later,」

Disguised, Lin Xuankong silently stood beside the Celestial Sect's stationed area, looking southeast towards Linshui Pavilion.

Cao Yu, the True Disciple of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, was in a guest room in that southeastern corner. This Cao Yu had set up a web of schemes against him. If he hadn't been cautious and investigated thoroughly, and had instead gone directly to the Sealing Demon Mountain Range, he might already be a wandering ghost!

The Five Elements Extermination Immortal Array! Just hearing the name of this Grand Array, one knows it's formidable—certainly not something a Tier Six Cultivator like him could resist! Now that this arrogant and vicious fellow is conveniently at Linshui Pavilion, it's the best time to deal with him!

After watching for a moment, Lin Xuankong's Double Pupils appeared. A wisp of red light instantly flew out, heading towards the secret chamber of the council hall.

「In the dim secret chamber,」

Xiaoo Ying'Er, who was lost in her thoughts, suddenly froze. At this moment, Lin Xuankong's voice reached her ears, "Third Princess, I'm ready on my end. If we are to deal with Cao Yu, we can coordinate our actions now!"

Hearing the voice, Xiaoo Ying'Er stood up immediately. She bit her lip, a hint of dread in her eyes. "Mr. Mu, Cao Yu is cunning by nature, powerful, and possesses many treasures; he is not easy to deal with. Are you really confident enough? Ying'Er is not afraid of danger. Even if my attempt to deal with Cao Yu fails, he wouldn't dare to kill me easily! But Mr. Mu, you... if you make a move against him and fail, your life might be in danger! If Cao Yu becomes enraged, even Ying'Er wouldn't be able to save you from him!"

Lin Xuankong's eyes showed a hint of determination. "Rest assured, Third Princess, Mu Shiba has a foolproof plan! As long as you cooperate with me seamlessly, tonight will be when Cao Yu is subdued! As for how to cooperate specifically..."

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er listened carefully to the voice in her mind. After a moment, she nodded. Then, she gracefully walked out of the secret chamber. Upon reaching the council hall, she said, "Ding Rui, go invite True Disciple Cao Yu from the Immortal Sect. I have extremely urgent matters to discuss with him face to face!"
