An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 70

“Master, I just sensed a fluctuation of Soul Transformation power! It seems someone is trying to condense their Soul Transformation to break through to the Soul Transformation realm! But they didn’t succeed in one go! This aura came from the Imperial Palace of Liyang!”

Yan Jiu’s words took Yang Chen by surprise.

“The Liyang royal family has someone trying to break through to the Soul Transformation realm?”

This news made Yang Chen’s brow furrow instantly.

Many things suddenly became clear to him.

No wonder the Liyang royal family has been increasingly arrogant in recent years. It turns out they’re about to have a Soul Transformation cultivator.  In the Northern Spiritual Realm, a Soul Transformation cultivator is absolutely a dominant power. Only by having Soul Transformation cultivators can one be considered a top-tier force in the Northern Spiritual Realm.

Take the Blood Blade Sect and Wind Thunder Sect for example, they’re called paramount forces because they had three to five Soul Transformation cultivators, able to dominate a region!

If the Liyang royal family had a Soul Transformation cultivator, even if they can’t be considered a paramount force, they can gradually break free from Xuantian Sect’s control.

For Xuantian Sect, this was an absolute bad news.

It seems this protagonist template is quite interesting.

He had a premonition.

The one about to break through to the Soul Transformation realm must be deeply connected to Li Hao. Killing them would not only allow Xuantian Sect to maintain control over Liyang Kingdom, but also allow him to reap a wave of VPs.

“Who is it!?” Suddenly, Yan Jiu let out a cold shout.

His body instantly turned into a black mist and vanished.

Yang Chen’s expression was slightly dazed, his brows tightly furrowed.

Someone actually dared to spy on him!

Yet he didn’t detect them. It seems the other party had formidable skills!

The waters in this Liyang Kingdom really do run deep! However, Yan Jiu’s current cultivation level has reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul realm. As a soul cultivator, his perception of soul power is extremely keen. Moreover, after devouring the soul of the Venerable Cangchen, he has mastered many strange techniques. Detecting the other party was to be expected.

Yang Chen also followed right after him.

Although Yan Jiu’s strength had reached the Peak Nascent Soul realm, the other party’s cultivation was definitely not low either.

Yan Jiu alone may not be able to capture them.

Following Yan Jiu’s aura, Yang Chen came to a mountain range outside the capital of Liyang.

Facing Yan Jiu was a slender black-robed figure.

It was clearly a woman based on her slim physique.

[Ding! Reminder: Female lead has been detected: Zhao Shirou, Li Hao’s Royal Mother, possesses the Profound Yin Physique and cultivates the Furnace technique: Triple Yin Convergence Technique!]

Suddenly, the system’s voice rang in his mind.

Yang Chen was taken aback.

Zhao Shirou, Li Hao’s Royal Mother Zhao Shirou?

Profound Yin Physique?

Furnace technique: Triple Yin Convergence Technique?

He had heard of these before.

In the Central Continent, there was a sect called the Pleasure Harmony Sect.

It was a dual cultivation sect.

The Profound Yin Physique was the body constitution most favored by this sect. Whenever one appeared, they would usually be directly accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master or elders, and receive focused cultivation.

Of course, the purpose of cultivating them was not for the sect’s next generation, but rather to use the Profound Yin Physique as a furnace.

If these cultivators encountered a bottleneck difficult to overcome in their cultivation, they could refine and supplement themselves with the Profound Yin Physique.

Using it to break through their realm.

As for the Three Yin Convergence Technique, it was a cultivation method specifically for the Profound Yin Physique. Of course, it was to better preserve the Profound Yin qi within the Profound Yin Physique, facilitating future supplementation.

It seemed that this Zhao Shirou was caught in a whirlpool without realizing it!

However, this worked out perfectly.

He could use her as a breakthrough.

“Who are you? How dare you spy on my master!” Yan Jiu coldly snorted, emanating a murderous aura.

Eager to show loyalty before Yang Chen.

He directly summoned a black sickle, ready to take action.

But Yang Chen stopped him.

“Yan Jiu, do not be reckless!”

“Master?”

Yan Jiu turned his head, looking puzzled.

Yang Chen walked up to Zhao Shirou and smiled, “Consort Rou, it seems you are quite different from the rumors!”

Previously, Yang Chen had inquired about Li Hao’s matters from Xu Qingxuan.

Li Hao’s royal mother was Consort Rou. However, she was not favored by the Liyang King. Since Li Hao’s birth, the Liyang King had never visited Consort Rou’s palace. Hearing this, he had thought Consort Rou was just an ordinary woman.

But the Consort Rou before him had the cultivation of the Late Nascent Soul realm. This was likely much higher than even the Liyang King’s.

The Protagonist’s mother truly wasn’t simple.

“You actually recognize me?” Zhao Shirou was very surprised in her heart.

In the entire Liyang Kingdom, besides her master and Li Zhan, no one knew her true identity. Even Li Hao only thought his royal mother was an unfavoured weak woman. But this Xuantian Holy Son before her had blurted out her real identity with just one line.

How could she not be shocked?

“Consort Rou, coming out so late at night, I wonder what this is about? Is it because I disciplined Li Hao earlier, making him knock his head a few times?” Yang Chen’s voice carried a hint of amusement.

Hmph!

Zhao Shirou let out a cold snort. She had only come because she was angered after seeing Li Hao injured, wanting to investigate Xuantian Sect’s situation. Yet she never expected the other party to be so alert.

She should know, she was extremely skilled at concealment. Even her master couldn’t detect her presence. She was confident that even Soul Transformation cultivators would have difficulty discovering her. But that withered middle-aged man’s perception was so strong.

“As expected of Xuantian Sect’s Holy Son! Surrounded by experts!”

With her identity seen through, Zhao Shirou didn’t bother hiding anymore. Her true qi surged as her night robe disintegrated, revealing a pale-yellow phoenix robe underneath.

The form-fitting robe wrapped around her bewitching, curvaceous figure.

Her skin was snow-white, her face alluring.

Her dark tresses were bunned up behind her head.

Her entire being exuded the aura of a beautiful mature woman.

Yang Chen couldn’t help curving his lips slightly.

As expected of the mother of the Protagonist, her beauty was indeed…
