Chapter 83: Guo Jing Abandoned

After entering the tomb chamber of the Ancient Tomb Sect, Li Mochou forcefully took control of Xiaolongnü.

Xiaolongnü and Li Mochou were evenly matched in strength, but with Hong Lingbo assisting, and the planetary-level master Yin Susu holding the rear, Xiaolongnü was powerless to resist. Within a few moves, Li Mochou sealed Xiaolongnü’s acupuncture points, rendering her immobile.

Thus, Li Mochou became the de facto controller of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

Yin Susu was arranged by Wang Kun to support Li Mochou in maintaining her authority.

Wang Kun also assigned Li Mochou a task: she was to find a way to cultivate Xiaolongnü. She didn’t have to turn Xiaolongnü into a female demon like herself, but at least she needed to make her fit for the Dead Soldier Card.

After leaving Mount Zhongnan, Wang Kun headed straight for Peach Blossom Island.

A simple search was all it took to find Huang Rong, who resided on Peach Blossom Island.

“This Huang Rong truly lives up to her reputation as a heroine who has roamed the martial world for over a decade; her sin value is indeed overflowing,” Wang Kun thought, noticing a reaction from the Dead Soldier Card in his mind. Without hesitation, he used one card on Huang Rong, who had become a mature and beautiful woman.

In an instant, as she was scolding her unruly child in the courtyard, Huang Rong paused and respectfully turned her gaze toward Wang Kun.

Without delay, Wang Kun assigned Huang Rong a task: she was to properly cultivate her daughter, Guo Fu. He also arranged for a beautiful dead soldier to lurk nearby and assist Huang Rong in her training.

As for her relationship with Guo Jing, it would naturally come to an end.

Although Huang Rong was already a mature beauty, she was now merely one among Wang Kun’s ranks of female dead soldiers.

While Wang Kun could cuckold others, he would never allow his own dead soldiers to be involved with other men, lest he himself be cuckolded.

As for their past experiences, nothing could be done about those. After all, those were histories that could not be changed, and without them, they could not have become Wang Kun’s dead soldiers.

Meanwhile, at Chongyang Palace on Mount Zhongnan, Guo Jing was still urging Yang Guo to join the Quanzhen Sect, completely unaware that his wife was already gone.

As for the daughter he and Huang Rong would later have, Guo Xiang, Wang Kun could only regretfully let her go. From now on, the Divine Condor World would lack the character of Guo Xiang.

After recruiting Huang Rong as one of his dead soldiers, Wang Kun pondered carefully and realized that this world held no other suitable candidates for his ranks.

“It seems that the long years ahead will have to be spent in cultivation,” Wang Kun mused, then vanished from Peach Blossom Island in a flash.

In the next instant, he appeared somewhere in Jiangnan. With a few quick tricks, he acquired a manor and prepared to enter closed-door cultivation in this world.

The other female dead soldiers, except for those assigned tasks, all received Wang Kun’s summons. Within a few hours, the scattered beauties would converge on his manor.

Wang Kun lingered in this world for a long time—a full thirty years. During these three decades, he set himself a small goal: to cultivate to the stellar level, and to raise Moyun Vine to the cosmic level.

As for his female dead soldiers, the stronger they became, the better. Ideally, each would surpass him, offering greater assistance.

Half a month later, Guo Jing returned to Peach Blossom Island.

But when he met Huang Rong, he was greeted not by warmth, but by her cold dismissal.

“Guo Jing, leave. Don’t come back to Peach Blossom Island,” she said.

“Rong’er, what’s wrong with you?” Guo Jing asked in disbelief.

“Nothing. I just feel that I can no longer live with you. From now on, you walk your own path, and I’ll walk mine.” Huang Rong’s voice was calm, as if she were stating something trivial.

In truth, for the present Huang Rong, it really was a matter of little importance. Though she had only cultivated for half a month, her strength was already beyond Guo Jing’s reach.

Facing Huang Rong’s indifference, Guo Jing’s repeated questions yielded nothing. Helpless, he sought out his father-in-law, Huang Yaoshi.

Huang Rong had been training in secret, but Huang Yaoshi, who resided on Peach Blossom Island, was unaware.

Upon hearing Guo Jing’s purpose, Huang Yaoshi was equally astonished.

“I’ll go ask Rong’er what’s going on,” he declared, and with those words, vanished swiftly before Guo Jing’s eyes.
