After Chu Wuyao sent someone to calm down the new disciples of the Heartless Peak and let them not worry, she didn't stay there any longer and returned to the pavilion on top of the mountain.

Once inside, a surprising scene happened and her body suddenly began transforming.

Her white hair changed color and obtained a pinkish hue, while her eyes changed completely, turning red, like the color of blood.

At the same time as this was happening, a golden light flew out of her body and landed beside her, turning into a figure with the same exact appearance as her, but with golden hair, blue eyes, and a peaceful expression.

That's right.

What no one knew was that the person who previously talked with Ruan Yi and then fought with Xiong Qi was not Chu Wuyao's main body, but her Devil and God Clones.

From start to finish, the real Chu Wuyao was still in the Heartless Peak, still cultivating in the Enlightenment Space.

With Chu Wuyao's breakthrough to the Awakening Realm, her two clones had also changed and because of these changes, she had the confidence to stay in seclusion.

In particular, the Devil Clone, who had been stuck at the Lower Devil for quite some time, finally advanced to become a Medium Devil, reaching a level equivalent to the Awakening Realm.

Because of its advancement, not only did the clone's physical strength and previous Devil Abilities receive massive enhancements, but it was also lucky to awaken two brand-new abilities.

Although the two clones didn't have a system to accurately display their abilities like Chu Wuyao's real body, it wasn't too difficult for her Devil Clone to grasp the changes within it.

The first ability that the Devil Clone awakened was called King's Armor and its function somewhat overlapped with its True Form state.

Essentially, the Devil Clone could absorb the blood, blood essence, and souls of other creatures, and use them to directly improve the level of its armor.

This improvement did not only affect its defensive power, but also brought a massive improvement to its physical strength as a whole, affecting its speed, strength, and even regeneration capabilities.

Moreover, this improvement did not only work while the Devil Clone was in its True Form, but it was also effective while it was in its normal, ordinary form.

Chu Wuyao understood that the King's Armor ability was awakened because of the clone's identity as a Celestial Devil, and the name's ability only served to confirm that guess.

"With the strong body of a Devil, coupled with the addition of the King's Armor, the physical strength of the Devil Clone is bound to eventually surpass that of my main body.", Chu Wuyao thought, quite satisfied with this ability.

After all, the stronger the Devil Clone, the safer Chu Wuyao would be.

Apart from the King's Armor, the Devil Clone also awakened another ability, and although that ability could not directly improve its combat power, it was actually quite helpful.

That ability's name was Emotional Manipulation, and as its name would suggest, it gave the Devil Clone the ability to manipulate other people's emotions.

In fact, it would be more accurate to say that the Devil Clone could enhance the emotions that other people were already feeling rather than directly manipulate them.

For example, if a person was already extremely angry because of some reason, the Devil Clone could use Emotional Manipulation to make that feeling even stronger, causing them to completely lose their minds.

On the other hand, if a person was calm and indifferent, it would be impossible for the Devil Clone to directly make that person lose their mind.

What's more, a person could somewhat ignore the effects of this ability as long their mind was very firm.

However, this didn't mean that the Emotional Manipulation was not useful.

If the people who were paying attention to her previous fight with Xiong Qi were to learn about it, they would immediately realize why Xiong Qi acted so impulsively as if he had lost his mind.

Why did Xiong Qi become so angry when he was just ignored?

Why didn't Xiong Qi immediately retreat when he discovered that Chu Wuyao's strength was stronger than expected, enough to put him in danger?

It was all because of the Emotional Manipulation ability.

"Unfortunately, Wu Feng was able to hold himself back despite my provocation. Otherwise, I could have taken the opportunity to get rid of him.", Chu Wuyao thought, feeling a little regretful.

Actually, from the very start, it was Chu Wuyao's plan to kill Xiong Qi and whoever stood behind him.

This was not only because she noticed a hint of murderous intent in Xiong Qi's aura, but also because Chu Wuyao needed an opportunity to establish her authority in the Core Area.

In Chu Wuyao's opinion, it was fine to be lowkey sometimes, hiding one's strength until they were strong enough.

However, Chu Wuyao couldn't be like those protagonists who acted like pushovers, causing other people to underestimate them, bringing constant trouble.

After all, her current focus was on improving her cultivation and strength, and she wasn't willing to waste her time playing games with the other true disciples.

Instead, taking advantage of Xiong Qi's and Wu Feng's murderous intent, she killed them, revealing some of her combat power and making sure that other people would not mess with her any time soon.

"As expected, the Original Desire Sect doesn't care about the death of a mere core disciple. As long as the true disciple has a reasonable excuse to take action, they can just take their lives without any consequences."

"Of course, this might also be because of me. Judging from how the Sect Leader previously summoned me, it is obvious that the higher-ups are paying special attention to me.", Chu Wuyao thought and roughly understood what the bottom line of the Original Desire Sect was.

To be honest, Chu Wuyao had a hunch that the reason why the Sect Leader summoned her before was to convey this meaning and allow her to act as she wanted.

This was also the reason why she wasn't afraid to show some of her extraordinary features, feeling that the Sect Leader should already know about her two clones.

"As for Wu Feng, since I have already offended him, I should find an opportunity to kill him."

The fact that Wu Feng managed to hold himself back and seemed unwilling to offend her didn't lessen Chu Wuyao's murderous intent at all.

If anything, it made her more determined to kill him.

In her mind, a person who was unable to control their emotions and was emotional was destined to not be a threat, but a person who could hold back even if they were humiliated was way more dangerous.

Judging from the previous scene, Wu Feng belonged to the latter case.

"But first, let's deal with the Dao Weapon...", Chu Wuyao thought, and her Devil Clone who held the Evil Refining Pagoda opened its door, revealing the darkness hidden inside.

Standing in front of the pagoda, the God Clone didn't hesitate, however, and took a step forward, teleporting into the fourth story of the pagoda.
