Boom!
The saber beam fell, completely announcing Lin Fei's death.
From now on, he would forever be a memory in the minds of others.
Wang Cai also flew out of Lu Xiaoran's body and swallowed Lin Fei's golden power of luck.
At the same time, several notifications sounded in Lu Xiaoran's ear.
"Congratulations, Master, for killing the hot shot. You're rewarded with a high-grade Martial Monarch Realm medicinal pill, the Martial Monarch Realm Arrival Pill x3."
The Martial Monarch Arrival Realm Pill was refined with the blood essence, bone marrow, and soul of a Martial Monarch Realm expert. After consuming it, one could unleash a Martial Monarch Realm cultivation within a minute.
"Congratulations, Master, for killing a hot shot. You're rewarded with a top-grade God Realm cultivation technique, Supreme Profound Dipper."
The Supreme Profound Dipper could disturb the spatial power in the surroundings, making it impossible for any existence to hide or use spatial cultivation techniques or array formations. If one's cultivation was stronger than the other party, they could temporarily immobilize the other party. The length of time depended on one's cultivation. The lowest cultivation level required for this cultivation technique was the first level of the Martial Monarch Realm.
"Congratulations, Master, for killing a hot shot. Your current cultivation has increased by two levels to the ninth level of the Emperor Realm."
"Congratulations on killing the hot shot, Master. You're rewarded with ten random Martial Monarch Realm weapons. Top-grade Martial Monarch Realm Kunlun Sword x1, top-grade Martial Monarch Realm Fire Dragon Purgatory Lock x1, top-grade Martial Monarch Realm Black Tortoise True Armor x1…"
"Congratulations, Master, for killing the hot shot. You're rewarded with the top-grade God Realm cultivation technique, the Great Dao Reincarnation."
The Great Dao Reincarnation could disturb the surrounding time power and cause time to accelerate and slow down. When cultivated to the limit, it could cause time to regress and the length of its effects depended on one's cultivation. The lowest cultivation level required for this cultivation technique was the first level of the Martial Monarch Realm.
The series of notifications made Lu Xiaoran narrow his eyes.
Wang Cai's products were indeed top-notch.
With so many good things, even if the hot shots were stronger, what was there to be afraid of?
However, what was annoying was that why did those two God Realm cultivation techniques come with cultivation requirements?
He still had to wait until he reached the Martial Monarch Realm before he could cultivate them?
"Wang Cai, can you remove the restriction of these two God Realm cultivation techniques and let me cultivate them directly?"
As Wang Cai swallowed Lin Fei's power of luck, he wagged his tail and said,
"I'm afraid that won't do, Master. A God Realm cultivation technique is a cultivation technique that only mortals can cultivate after they break through to God Realm. Master currently still has a mortal body, and your meridians are too weak to cultivate a God Realm cultivation technique. Only after reaching the Martial Monarch Realm will you be able to cultivate the cultivation technique without injuring yourself.
"However, if it's an organ like the Trinity True Eyes, you can directly refine and fuse it. "
"Then is there any way for me to work around this? I saw that you gave me a few Martial Monarch Realm pills that can allow me to become a Martial Monarch Realm expert in a short period of time."
"Yes, but it will only give you a Martial Monarch Realm cultivation for three minutes. With just three minutes, will Master really be satisfied? Will you really be able to control yourself?"
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
In the end, he could only give up on this idea.
After all, no matter how good the item was, he still had to live to enjoy it, right?
The burden of a God Realm cultivation technique was too huge. Even if he barely learned it, he estimated that with his Emperor Realm cultivation, it would still be insufficient for him to use it. Otherwise, even if he used it, he would still quickly exhaust the spirit energy in his body as if his body was being hollowed out.
At this moment, Wang Cai had already swallowed Lin Fei's luck and entered Lu Xiaoran's body.
"Master, I'm going to go through another upgrade."
"Go, go."
Finally, he had perfectly killed another hot shot. Lu Xiaoran also needed to rest.
These days, he had been tense every day. He did not sleep well, ate poorly, and was even going bald.
He would definitely have to clean up the mess later.
That idiot Ruyang would probably still be very troubling. He still needed to go and push Ji Wushang and the others onto the world stage.
…
At the same time, a shocking roar suddenly sounded from the Nalan Family in the ancient forest in the center of the continent!
"Who is it? Who is it? Who killed my son!"
Hearing this voice, many people from the Nalan family could not help but frown.
"This voice, is it Nalan Ruyu? What's she doing this time?"
As the center of the continent, the place with the most abundant spirit energy, the Eternal Forest contained countless top-notch families that had been passed down from ancient times.
The Nalan family was also one of them.
In the ancient times, they had also cultivated to the Martial Monarch Realm.
Therefore, the Nalan Family was rather respectable in the Eternal Forest.
However, a less respectable woman had appeared in this dignified Nalan family.
Nalan Hongyu!
She was once a genius girl in the family and had also been entrusted with high hopes by the Nalan family.
Unfortunately, she was extremely rebellious. She had actually gone to a small place called the Great Zhou and found a low-level man from a small family to marry and even gave birth to a little bastard!
This matter had once become a laughing stock in the Eternal Forest. For the sake of the dignity of the family, the Nalan family had no choice but to capture her and lock her in the family's forbidden area.
Now that they heard Nalan Hongyu's voice again, everyone had somewhat displeased expressions.
However, at this moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded from the forbidden area.
Boom!
With this violent explosion, countless Nalan family disciples began to scream.
Clearly, Nalan Hongyu had rushed out of the forbidden area.
For a moment, several family elders used their movement techniques to step forward. Nalan Hongyu's figure also entered their sight.
She was dressed in red makeup that was fiery, enchanting, warm, unrestrained, and filled with dangerous information.
On her slender arm were two chains thicker than her arm!
"Nalan Hongyu, you're too arrogant. Who gave you the guts to be so arrogant?"
"Get lost!"
Before she arrived, Nalan Hongyu threw a punch. An invincible force directly forced the elders back. Then, her figure turned into a red light and suddenly shot into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.
The elders of the Nalan Family felt their blood surge, and their expressions were filled with shock.
"How is this possible? Hongyu… she's actually a Supreme Realm expert?"
…
Ignoring her family, Nalan Hongyu went straight to the southernmost tip of the Eternal Forest. It was said to be the most mysterious cliff in the entire continent.
"Elder Tianji, get the hell out here! You said that my son's luck is clearly rare in the world and at the peak of perfection. Why was he still killed?"
On the Hopeless Cliff, there was an extremely dark cave that seemed very lonely. It looked like a mouth that was about to devour everything.
At this moment, a mocking voice slowly sounded from the black hole.
"Fairy Hongyu, I've long warned you that you can't defy the heavens. You were the one who insisted on creating a hot shot. For this, you didn't hesitate to go to the Great Zhou Lin family and get married to an ordinary person. You gave birth to Lin Fei and even helped him find the inheritance of the number one assassin in the ancient times, a ring that contained the remnant soul of Martial Monarch Yue Ying!
Unfortunately, man proposes but god disposes. Even though you used the forbidden secret of the Heaven Secrets Pavilion to give birth to a hot shot, your son is still not the true chosen one! When he encounters the true chosen one… he will still be unable to escape death! "

Nalan Hongyu fell silent, her expression flickering.
A thousand years ago, she had transmigrated to this world. Her family was famous and her talent was outstanding.
She originally thought that she was a legendary hot shot. Unfortunately, she was too naive. She would not become a hot shot just because she was a transmigrator.
After cultivating for hundreds of years and reaching the peak tenth level of the Emperor Realm, Nalan Hongyu seemed to have become ordinary. Her cultivation did not increase much anymore. It could even be said that she was unable to advance any further.
It was only when she arrived at the Heaven Secrets Pavilion that she realized that she was not a legendary hot shot. Her luck was no different from ordinary people!
According to this rhythm, she was expected to be like the mediocre people of this world, getting married and having children before finally dying.
She was unwilling to accept this!
It had not been easy for her to encounter a transmigration opportunity. She was really unwilling to die like this.
Therefore, she swore to the Heaven Secrets Pavilion that she would be one of the protectors of the Heaven Secrets Pavilion for the rest of her life. If the Heaven Secrets Pavilion was in trouble, she had to rush back and protect it no matter what.
At this price, Nalan Hongyu finally obtained the secret of the Heaven Secrets Pavilion and gave birth to a hot shot for herself.
As the saying went, those with great luck could escape the restraints of the mortal world and the rules of the Heaven Dao.
At that time, when this hot shot matured, she would bring him into the Divine World together and ultimately become a peak expert.
In the secret technique of the Heaven Secrets Pavilion, there were several conditions Nanlin Hongyu needed to satisfy to create a hot shot.
The first condition was to find a small family whose ancestor had ascended but whose family had already declined. By giving birth to someone with such a bloodline, she could ensure that the child's bloodline was not bad. Moreover, in the future, as the child's cultivation increased, he would be guided by the bloodline power of the ancestor who had already gone to the Divine World.
In this way, her child's future would be infinitely raised.
The second condition was to find a dead master to assist this child.
In order to ensure that this expert master would seriously teach the child knowledge and guide him in his cultivation without harming him, she needed to make sure that this Master also needed her child's help.
She also needed to have a certain level of skills to build a good foundation for him. This was to prevent his foundation from being poor and his future from being poor.
With the help of the Heaven Secrets Pavilion, she chose the already deceased Martial Monarch Yue Ying and found her remnant soul ring and brought it to her son, allowing Lin Fei to awaken her in the future and become his master.
The third condition was to find a fiancée with an honorable status for him. This fiancée needed to humiliate him in the future and stimulate his potential to prevent him from faltering and becoming ordinary.
Because of this, she took King Zining's biological daughter, Ji Wuxia, and brought her away from the Purple Peace Imperial Palace. She also arranged for King Zining to bring her daughter back four years ago for her to end the engagement with her son.
The fourth and most important condition was for her to stay far away from her son so that her son would one day come to the Nalan family to save her.
These factors would give him motivation and support to advance. At the same time, they would also give him the power of luck that could resist the Heaven Dao rules.
Nalan Hongyu did not have the power of luck and was destined to be unable to break through the shackles in her life.
When she headed to the Great Zhou, she was already at the tenth level of the Emperor Realm. Now, after hundreds of years, she was only at the third level of the Supreme Realm.
Without her son's luck, she would at most be able to reach the Supreme Realm in her life, let alone reach the God Realm.
"It's useless to say those things now. My son is dead, and the plans I designed for hundreds of years have all disappeared. Without the power of luck, how can I transcend the tribulation and become a god?"
"There's another way now. That is, if you kill the chosen one and succeed, you will become the chosen one."
"Your son can only be killed by the chosen one. By killing the chosen one, you can not only avenge your son, but you can also rob the hot shot of his luck. Isn't it good to kill two birds with one stone?"
Nalan Hongyu's eyes immediately lit up.
"There's such a method?"
"That's right. However, you have to remember that you're only ordinary. You don't have much power of luck at all. When facing a hot shot, not only will you be unable to kill him, but you might even be killed by him. Therefore, you have to find someone with great luck, who is also a hot shot, in order for you to have the chance to kill the chosen one!"
"Before that, don't have any conflict with him or attack anyone related to him. Otherwise, even the Heaven Dao might not be able to save you. Moreover, what kind of existence is the Heaven Dao? It won't save a tiny ant like you at all."
"It's fine."
Nalan Hongyu was not discouraged because of this.
"As long as there's hope of killing him, that's enough. In order to nurture a hot shot, I, Nalan Hongyu, have worked hard for hundreds of years to get married and have a child with some nobody. Now that I can become a hot shot, what's wrong with enduring for a while?"
"In that case, go. The Acacia Faction you created in the Great Zhou is enough for you to use. I hope that you can succeed this time. At that time, my Heaven Secrets Pavilion will also be able to rely on you to go to the Divine World."
Nalan Hongyu turned around and left, laughing coldly in her heart.
There only needed to be one god.
Now that the Heaven Secrets Pavilion could be of use to her, she was naturally willing to cooperate.
However, if she became a hot shot and reached the God Realm, the Heaven Secrets Pavilion would not be qualified to continue cooperating with her.
…
On the other side, at the entrance of the Ancient Forbidden Area, everyone could not help but be shocked.
The name list on the rankings was simply unpredictable.
Putting everything else aside, just the few dark horses were already very surprising.
Ji Wushang, Ji Qingshan, Ji Fanghua, and the others firmly occupied the top six of the Heaven Ranking and had never come down.
Although their rankings changed from time to time, it still did not allow the crown prince and his siblings to enter the top six.
This was simply unimaginable in the past.
Other than that, Qin Zimo from the Black Tortoise True Sect had actually also broken into the Heaven Ranking from the Earth Ranking. Her ranking was not bad.
Of course, the results of the other Holy Sons and Holy Maidens who were originally ranked on the Earth Ranking were also very good.
However, at this moment, a change in the ranking instantly made the expressions of countless people present change.
"What's going on? Lin Fei's name has disappeared!"
"The disappearance of the name on the Heaven Ranking means that the other party has already died."
"But… who did this? Lin Fei is such a powerful genius and has the support of the Imperial Family. How could an existence like him die?"
Just as everyone was feeling shocked, several figures rushed out from the Void Gate in succession.
Among them were the princes of the Imperial Family and the heirs of the various imperial palaces.
This made everyone present even more dumbfounded.
Before everyone could react, the Third Prince had already waved the spear in his hand and pointed it at King Zining.
"King Zining, is your Purple Peace Imperial Palace rebelling?"
King Zining's head tilted, his mind filled with question marks.

"No, we're not rebelling. Stop talking nonsense."
King Zining immediately retorted.
The Third Prince questioned again.
"You still dare to say no? Your son Ji Wushang and your daughter Ji Wuxia have hidden their cultivation. What is the meaning of this?"
"What has their hiding of their cultivation got to do with my Purple Peace Imperial Palace? I don't know either!"
"You! You're lying!"
As soon as he said this, King Zining immediately snorted. The pressure of a King Realm expert surged, directly suppressing the Third Prince's chest. The other party's throat turned sweet and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ji Tianfeng, watch your tone. In the end, I'm still your uncle. You're just a junior. Don't think that just because you're a prince of the Imperial Family, you don't have to take me seriously."
"You!"
The Third Prince wanted to say something, but the crown prince had already pulled him behind him.
"That's enough, Third Brother. Don't be rude."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and placed his hand behind his back.
"Uncle Zining, forget about Ji Wushang and the others hiding their cultivation for the time being. Now, in the name of the Great Zhou Crown Prince, I order the kings to quickly enter the Ancient Forbidden Area to pursue Lin Fei."
King Zining: "???"
A series of question marks appeared in his head.
"Lin Fei is already dead, how can we pursue him?"
"What did you say?"
The crown prince's expression changed drastically. King Zining pointed at the Heaven Ranking on the Void Gate behind everyone.
"Here, look, Lin Fei is already dead. He just died not long ago before you guys came out."
Everyone turned around and their pupils immediately constricted, especially Ruyang. Her eyes rolled back and she almost fainted.
The crown prince clenched his fists.
"Damn it, someone got to him first. Immediately send people to search. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse!"
King Zining said angrily, "The Ancient Forbidden Area is independent and has a vast land. Who are we supposed to investigate?"
"Damn it! Will we never be able to find the Martial Monarch Realm weapon in Lin Fei's hand?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
"Martial Monarch Realm weapon! A Martial Monarch Realm weapon!"
"Heavens, a Martial Monarch Realm weapon has actually appeared in the Ancient Forbidden Area!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes could not help but turn red and become restless.
At this moment, the old man guarding the Ancient Forbidden Area coughed.
With a light cough, the hearts of all the experts present could not help but thump, and their minds instantly became much clearer.
There was an Emperor Realm expert guarding this place!
With him around, who would dare to make a scene?
Everyone swallowed and slowly sat back down.
Then, the Emperor Realm expert continued, "The trial of the Ancient Forbidden Area has ended here. I have already activated the teleportation mechanism on everyone's tokens. They will all be coming out. Sect masters, take them back."
After this faint sentence, the air began to distort. Then, white lights lit up. Everyone who entered the Ancient Forbidden Area was teleported out.
The Emperor Realm expert then entered the Ancient Forbidden Area on his own and conveniently sealed it.
At this moment, no one other than him could enter the Ancient Forbidden Area again, and no one could sense the situation in the Ancient Forbidden Area.
The various sect masters outside were furious. However, in the face of the Imperial Family's power, who could do anything?
After all, they did not have any Emperor Realm experts.
At this moment, Ruyang's eyes were scarlet red like blood. She had placed all the blame for Lin Fei's death on Ji Wushang and the others.
"Ji Wushang! If not for you, my Lin Fei wouldn't have died. I want you to pay with your blood!"
Ji Wushang and the others sneered.
"What does that have to do with us? We didn't kill them. Did you see us kill them? Idiots!"
"I'll kill you!"
Ruyang roared and was about to attack when he was stopped by the crown prince.
"Ruyang, step back. I'll handle it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swept his gaze coldly and said,
"Ji Wushang, you guys deliberately targeted Lin Fei, causing Lin Fei to go missing and the Martial Monarch Realm weapon to be lost. You even went against the Imperial Palace and publicly disturbed the peace of the Imperial Family. Now, as the Great Zhou Crown Prince, I announce that from today onwards, all of you are to be imprisoned and not to come out for 50 years."
The crown prince was not a fool. Just based on what Ji Wushang and the others had done, it was simply impossible for them to be executed. They had not violated any overly serious bottom line.
Moreover, King Zining and the other elders would not agree.
He decided to imprison Ji Wushang and the others in the Heaven Prison and torture them with array formations. In 50 years, even if they did not die, their cultivation would not be greatly hindered. 50 years was also enough for the cultivation gap between the descendants of the Imperial Family and the descendants of the imperial palaces to widen.
At that time, Ji Wushang and the others would also be completely crippled. They wouldn't even need to care at all.
When Ruyang heard this outcome, she immediately resisted.
"Brother, I don't want to. I have to kill them and avenge my Brother Lin Fei."
"Shut up!"
The crown prince swung his hand and slapped Ruyang fiercely in the face again.
This idiot was really stupid to the extreme.
Was she capable of killing Ji Wushang?
Idiot!
If locking them in the Heaven Prison could give them enough time, then that was what they needed to do.
Unfortunately, his well-planned schemes would not go as planned.
After all, Lu Xiaoran had already set up this plan a long time ago to prevent today's matter. Lu Xiaoran was not going to let the other party do as he wished.
King Zining and the other kings immediately shouted angrily,
"Ji Tianming, don't think too highly of yourself. In front of all these kings, you actually want to publicly send the descendants of the various great imperial palaces into the Heaven Prison. Do you not take us seriously?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crown prince sneered.
"What? Ji Wushang and the others have violated the Imperial Family's laws. Uncle Wang, are you trying to be biased? In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The people from the various large sects did not leave. They had just been dissatisfied with the Great Zhou Imperial Family. At this moment, when they saw the Great Zhou Imperial Family being unreasonable and fighting with the imperial palaces, they decided to stay and watch.
Soon, Ji Tianming directly shattered a golden token in his hand.
The token shattered, transforming into a golden aura that spread in the air.
A heart palpitating pressure slowly spread, forming a golden figure with a monstrous aura.
As soon as this figure appeared, the expressions of everyone present instantly changed, and they felt extremely pressured.
Many young figures could not endure this aura and directly knelt on the spot.
Even King Zining and the others had solemn expressions when facing this extremely dignified figure.
The golden figure swept his gaze indifferently over King Zining and the others, immediately making everyone's hearts beat faster.
"Zining, Tianyun, you guys are a little too much."

King Zining and the others were shocked, but they did not dare to say anything.
After all, the other party was an emperor!
Not just an Emperor Realm expert, but the emperor of Great Zhou!
He was the most authoritative and respected existence in the entire Great Zhou other than the Imperial Family Elder Group.
After shocking King Zining and the others, the Great Zhou Emperor phantom cast its gaze on Ji Wushang and the others.
"You're all guilty for violating the unity of the Imperial Family."
A faint sentence of guilt and a slight emission of killing intent already made the people present tremble in fear.
This was the intimidation of an expert!
When one's cultivation reached a certain level, they would be like a huge mountain in front of others, making others unable to breathe.
However, the Great Zhou Emperor had miscalculated.
His aura suppression did not make Ji Wushang and the others fear. On the contrary, the few imperial palace heirs stepped forward at the same time and looked straight at the Great Zhou Emperor.
"Great Zhou Imperial Family's Ji Wushang…"
"Great Zhou Imperial Family's Ji Qingshan…"
"Great Zhou Imperial Family's Ji Fanghua…"
"Great Zhou Imperial Family's Ji Luoyun…"
"Great Zhou Imperial Family's Ji Chengshan…"
"Great Zhou Imperial Family's Ji Tianshui…"
"…hereby challenges the Great Zhou Crown Prince!"
"Heavens! Are they crazy?"
The crowd instantly erupted.
Everyone looked at the few of them in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
It was common knowledge in the Great Zhou Imperial Family that any imperial palace descendant could challenge the crown prince.
However, these were only rules. Since ancient times, who had dared to challenge the crown prince?
It had to be known that the Crown Prince had always been the most outstanding young man in the Imperial Family.
He was too dazzling and powerful. He was like a rising sun, dazzling to the point that others could not open their eyes.
However, today, Ji Wushang and the others were actually publicly challenging Ji Tianming's status as the crown prince!
This could be said to be the first time in the history of the Great Zhou Imperial Family something like this had happened.
The crown prince's expression immediately changed.
"Ji Wushang, how dare you!"
Ji Wushang sneered and said, "Since I've already put the words out there, what's there to be afraid of? Your Majesty, according to the ancestral rule of the Great Zhou, as descendants of the imperial palaces, we are qualified to challenge the crown prince, right?"
The Great Zhou Emperor phantom was silent for a moment, his eyes cold as he stared fixedly at Ji Wushang and the others.
"The Great Zhou indeed has this ancestral rule. However, the Great Zhou Ancestral rule states that the challengers have to come from eight imperial palaces. Moreover, they have to be at least at the Soul Refinement Realm before the age of 50."
"Even if I show you some mercy and ask only for you to gather eight descendants with the proper conditions instead of eight heirs, will you be able to do that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Wuxia stepped out.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. In that case, Wuxia will also compete for the throne of the Great Zhou."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Wuxia emitted her aura. Although she only released the aura of the Soul Refinement Realm, it still made many people gasp in unison.
"Heavens, she's actually also a Soul Refinement Realm expert!"
"Isn't the Purple Peace Imperial Palace too powerful? Two Soul Refinement Realm geniuses appeared at once."
King Zining was shocked himself. His daughter was also at the Soul Refinement Realm. Were the sons and daughters he had so talented?
Why didn't he know that?
However, soon, his body suddenly trembled as if he had thought of something.
"Could it be… him?"
King Zining was not a fool. Others might not know what level his son and daughter were at. However, as a father, how could he not know?
However, he did not expect that this guy was actually so powerful to be able to raise his son and daughter to this level.
It was too terrifying!
It seemed that he had to keep a low profile in the future to avoid angering that guy.
The Great Zhou Emperor phantom's eyes flickered incessantly as killing intent surged.
He originally wanted to make Ji Wushang and the others lose face.
Therefore, he removed the restrictions and only asked Ji Wushang to find the eight imperial palace descendants instead of heirs. This was because he was certain that Ji Wushang could not find eight Soul Refinement Realm experts below the age of 50.
He did not expect Ji Wuxia to appear at this moment.
Fortunately, even with Ji Wuxia's help, there were only seven of them. They were still unable to challenge the crown prince.
They were simply unable to threaten his son's status.
"Even with you, there are only seven of you. You still haven't met the requirements."
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Father, I also want to participate."
The Great Zhou Emperor was stunned, and the other Imperial Family princes were also stunned and were instantly puzzled.
Not far away, the corner of Ji Wuxia's mouth curled up.
This was also within her master's plan.
As long as she participated, Ruyang would definitely participate!
Ruyang had already become Lin Fei's accessory. He had captured her heart and lowered her intelligence.
At this moment, she had already blamed Ji Wuxia for Lin Fei's death.
Therefore, she definitely could not help but participate.
In this way, with eight people, the challenge was valid.
The Third Prince snapped.
"Ruyang, what are you doing? Return at once."
Ji Wushang spoke again.
"The ancestral rule of the Great Zhou Imperial Family did not say that the descendants of the Imperial Family are not allowed to participate in the challenge. Now that Ruyang has participated, there are already eight people. Does Your Majesty want to go back on your word?"
The Great Zhou Emperor clenched his fists behind his back as killing intent slowly spread.
He had never expected his own daughter to mess around at such a critical moment.
At this moment, at this moment, other than the Imperial Family, all the first-tier sects in the world were also present.
If he went back on his word at this moment, it would greatly affect his image.
At that time, everyone in the world would think that he had violated the Great Zhou ancestral rule in order to protect his son.
Damaging the prestige of the Great Zhou Imperial Family was an extremely dangerous matter. The most important thing in controlling a country was prestige.
This was enough to anger the Elder Group.
Angering the Elder Group was extremely disadvantageous to his bloodline.
Matters of the Imperial Family were not decided by the emperor alone. No matter where, the stronger the group, the more dependent they were on teamwork.
In the entire Great Zhou Imperial Family, countless branches had appeared in the past ten thousand years, and countless experts had appeared.
However, if he agreed, it was very likely that his son would die.
In this way, if his bloodline wanted to rise again in the Imperial Family in the future, it would be difficult.
Therefore, for the sake of his son and the future benefits and resources of his bloodline, he had no choice but to commit a heinous crime. Even if he had to lose the dignity of the Imperial Family and the prestige of the Emperor, he had to stop this challenge!
However, just as he was about to speak and obstruct this challenge, a soft voice suddenly sounded from the direction of the Imperial City.
"Permission granted!"
With just a single word, this world instantly fell silent.
After that, no one could resist.
That voice belonged to the strongest member of the Great Zhou Imperial Family.
With this simple word, Ji Wushang's challenge had begun.

Lu Xiaoran's final goal was finally achieved.
First, he would use the Ancient Forbidden Area to greatly display the potential of Ji Wushang and the others.
As long as they had enough potential and strength, they would naturally be able to easily obtain the attention of the Elder Group at the top of the Imperial Family.
Those people did not care if one was an Imperial Family prince or an imperial palace descendant. In any case, they all had the bloodline of the Great Zhou Imperial Family. As long as one's talent was powerful enough, they could easily grow to a top-notch expert. This was what they needed.
The benefits of a group were always greater than the benefits of an individual or a small number of people.
…
In the Ancient Forbidden Area, the second level Emperor Realm expert guard was also quickly searching for the whereabouts of the Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
At this moment, he was the only one in the Ancient Forbidden Area. Moreover, he was also a member of the Great Zhou Imperial Family's Elder Group. After obtaining the Martial Monarch Realm weapon, no one would snatch it from him.
This was simply equivalent to someone placing an unprotected huge cake in front of him.
"Where is this Martial Monarch Realm weapon?"
After searching for half a day without any results, the guardian elder could not help but frown.
Logically speaking, since Lin Fei was already dead, the Martial Monarch Realm weapon should not have an owner. It would not be suppressed by its master and its aura would not be deliberately hidden.
How powerful was the aura of a Martial Monarch Realm weapon?
Even if only a trace of it was leaked, it would still be extremely noticeable. Why did he not sense anything?
Just as he was feeling strange, Lu Xiaoran also walked out from his Mountain and River State Painting.
The guardian elder: "???"
Lu Xiaoran: "???"
The two of them looked at each other in confusion.
"I've already transferred all the human cultivators away. Why are you still in the Ancient Forbidden Area?"
After a moment of silence, he woke up and questioned coldly.
Lu Xiaoran thought for a moment and vaguely guessed something.
When he captured Lin Fei, Lin Fei was holding a Martial Monarch Realm weapon. This meant that Lin Fei had already exposed the fact that he had a Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
If this news spread, it was impossible for the Great Zhou Imperial Family not to enter and search.
"I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf?"
Just as Lu Xiaoran was thinking, the other party's voice sounded again.
Lu Xiaoran was silent for two seconds before opening his Mountain and River State Painting again.
…
On the other side, in the study of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace, King Zining stared at Ji Wuxia's eyes.
The father and daughter were in a stalemate for an hour.
In the end, King Zining was the first to lose and break the silence.
He sighed faintly and could not help but say,
"It's been so long. Are you still unwilling to tell me about your master?"
"Father, why don't you ask Big Brother?"
King Zining glanced at her angrily.
"That's your master. How much does your brother know? Wouldn't it be better for me to ask you?"
Ji Wuxia took a deep breath and had a difficult expression.
"Father, stop asking. No matter what, I won't betray my master. My master's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. If not for him, it would be impossible for me to reach my current state in my life. If you insist on punishing me, I will apologize with my life."
King Zining rubbed his temples.
"Damn, I've raised this daughter for so many years for nothing."
"Father, I'm sorry."
"There's no need to apologize. Actually, even if you don't say it, I can probably guess. Lin Fei was killed by your master, right? Other than your master, I really can't think of anyone else who would kill him!"
"In addition, if nothing unexpected happened, Lin Fei's Martial Monarch Realm weapon would probably also fall into his hands, right?
"Originally, I wouldn't have thought of him. However, a few days ago, when I was dealing with Elder Netherworld, I was puzzled as to who the guy with the Martial Monarch Realm weapon was.
"It was only when I saw your and your brother's cultivation become so powerful that I vaguely guessed something.
"Moreover, when they went to the Ancient Forbidden Area, your two senior brothers and junior brothers had worn different clothes than your master. However, they had also hidden their identities from others.
"Originally, with just the information that I had, I did not dare to completely infer that it was your master.
"However, your master had miscalculated.
"That is, the fourth disciple he took in is Li Changsheng!"
Ji Wuxia was somewhat surprised.
"Father knows my junior brother?"
King Zining was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"What do you think your father is? I'm a king of the Great Zhou after all. Do you think that I wouldn't even know about an outstanding genius like Li Changsheng? Isn't that too ridiculous?"
Li Changsheng had already been crippled and placed in the Imperial City to beg for life.
"Your master was even able to make such a useless beggar like him useful again. Moreover, his cultivation increased rapidly in a short month. I'm afraid even the gods will be ashamed of themselves after witnessing your master's methods."
Ji Wuxia took a deep breath and cupped her hands.
"Father, please keep this matter a secret. If news of this leaks, my master will definitely silence you. If Father… can't handle it, the Great Zhou… won't be able to protect Father."
Hearing this, King Zining's body trembled, and a storm surged in his heart.
Ji Wuxia definitely did not know the background of the Imperial Family. However, Ji Wuxia still had a concept of how powerful the Imperial Family was.
However, if she said that despite knowing, it would mean that her master, Lu Xiaoran, was much stronger than King Zining imagined.
After taking a deep breath, King Zining suppressed the shock in his heart and continued, "Don't worry. Although I'm a King of the Great Zhou, I'm also your and Wushang's father. I won't do anything harmful to you. This time, Elder Patriarch has confirmed the competition for the throne. I believe your master has also made plans, right?"
Ji Wuxia nodded. There was no need for her to hide this.
"My master means to let Brother inherit the throne. He should be able to help Brother increase his strength again."
King Zining's expression was somewhat worried.
"Is your master's method of increasing his cultivation proper?"
After a pause, he seemed to feel that his meaning was not comprehensive enough.
"What I mean is, will it cause any damage to your foundation, making it difficult for you to advance in the future?"
Ji Wuxia smiled and said,
"Don't worry, Father. My master never harms his own people. His intentions of helping Brother increase his strength is definitely pure. There's no harm at all."
"That's good. However, although your master is powerful, you still can't be careless. If he kills Lin Fei, he will definitely cause a disaster. It might even cost you all your lives."
Ji Wuxia was suddenly shocked.
"What do you mean, Father?"
King Zining leaned back in his chair and exhaled deeply, his eyes sinking into nostalgia.
"It's a long story. If I have to tell you, I can only tell you that it was a mistake I made when I was young."

Chapter 164: The Stick and the Sea
"It was around spring. At that time, Father had yet to be conferred the title of king. I was ordered to go out and carry out official duties. At that time, I was young and rash. On the way to handle matters, I stayed for a few days in the Acacia Faction. Then, I encountered a woman."
"I was a playboy and could not resist the temptation of a woman.
"After that, I was forced to swear that if my daughter was born in the future, I would send her to the Lin family to be adopted. Moreover, I would also need to take my daughter back and cancel her engagement with the Lin family's son. "
"What?"
Ji Wuxia's expression changed as if she had been struck by lightning.
She had never expected that the matter between her and Lin Fei had actually been decided long ago.
"Father, with your cultivation, even if you weren't a King Realm expert at that time, you shouldn't have been threatened, right? Moreover, didn't you inform the Imperial Family after that? Didn't the Imperial Family ask about this?"
King Zining shook his head, his face revealing an ancient expression.
"It's useless. The other party's strength was too powerful. Even the Imperial Family couldn't do anything to her. At that time, she was already an Emperor Realm expert."
"Heavens!"
Ji Wuxia's expression revealed even more shocked.
The other party was actually an Emperor Realm expert!
An Emperor Realm expert was behind all of this?
"Father, who is she?"
King Zining said with a solemn expression,
"She's Lin Fei's mother and… the founder of the Acacia Faction—Nalan Hongyu."
…
At the same time, in a branch of the Acacia Faction, Nalan Hongyu was lying on a reclining chair, reading the information her subordinates had gathered.
Because she was lying down, her red dress was somewhat tight, revealing her beautiful figure.
That lazy gaze simply emitted the aura a prostitute should have.
Those who served by his side were all ashamed of themselves after looking at her.
They were all women. However, only Nalan Hongyu was charming to the bones.
"28 years ago, Lu Xiaoran was abandoned in the Heaven Demon Sect and was adopted by the Heaven Demon Sect. His cultivation is currently at the Spirit Realm."
"In the Heaven Demon Sect, Lu Xiaoran took in Yun Lige as his disciple…
"In the Black Tortoise True Sect, Xiao Bei obtained first place in the array formation competition, and Lu Xiaoran was ranked 30th in all 18 matches…
"Xiao Bei is already dead? Killed by three people who claimed to be from the Avengers Alliance?
"Interesting, he actually named it the Avengers Alliance. Looks like this Lu Xiaoran should have come from the same place as me.
"He took in Ji Wuxia…
"Someone had once seen the heir of the Ancient Ape Tribe, Fang Tianyuan, in the Heaven Demon Sect…
"The White Bone Demon Sect disappeared overnight…
"The Demon Sect had massacred the few large sects near the Heaven Demon Sect. Only the Heaven Demon Sect was fine? On that day, the Heaven Demon Sect's ancestor appeared…
"Xiao Bei and Lin Fei's information had been investigated by two people. One of them impersonated the Heaven Demon Sect Elder Li Daoran and the other was Yun Lige…
"In the Imperial City's Heaven Prison, when the evil cultivators of the Demon Sect fled, they encountered an Emperor Realm expert who held a Martial Monarch Realm spear…"
After analyzing the information she obtained one by one, Nalan Hongyu's expression gradually began to become solemn.
"From the looks of it, this Lu Xiaoran should have the same identity as me. We both came from that place. The heavens are really biased. We're both transmigrators and he's the chosen one, but I've become a nobody."
"However, this Lu Xiaoran sure is an old hidden monster. No, he was only in his twenties and could only be considered to be a young hidden monster.
"If not for the Acacia Faction infiltrating the entire Great Zhou, I probably wouldn't have been able to find any information on him. "
The information was too scattered. If one or two of them were read, it was definitely impossible to easily deduce Lu Xiaoran's identity.
One needed a lot of information to piece everything together. At the same time, one also needed the identity of a transmigrator like Nalan Hongyu to understand Lu Xiaoran's secret.
"Since Lu Xiaoran is the chosen one he definitely has some unknown means. I don't know what they are, but they're definitely powerful enough. He's so monstrous that it makes my hair stand on end."
"His cultivation level, based on a conservatively estimate, should only be higher than the Emperor Realm. However, considering his cautious character, it is very likely that he had hidden his strength. However, he is not ridiculously powerful. Otherwise, he would have long flattened the Ancient Ape Tribe.
"Other than that, he seems to be gathering people who are enemies with the hot shots. I don't know why, but this is perfect for me to take advantage of.
"Lu Xiaoran, even if you're really the chosen one, I, Nalan Hongyu, will still drown you in my ocean!!"
…
At this moment, Lu Xiaoran also walked out of the Mountain and River State Painting and left the Ancient Forbidden Area.
The sealing formation set up by the guardian elder was simply like a child's play to him.
Although others could not open it, Lu Xiaoran opened it effortlessly.
When he returned to the Purple Peace Imperial Palace and asked a few disciples, he naturally understood everything easily.
This made Lu Xiaoran very happy because all the development paths were unfolding as planned.
However, when Ji Wuxia told him about herself, Lu Xiaoran's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Then, his mind went blank.
"Master, Lin Fei's mother might attack us. Please be prepared."
"Got it. You can leave."
"Yes."
After Ji Wuxia left, Lu Xiaoran immediately fell into deep thought.
When he first went to the Acacia Faction, he had already guessed that the Acacia Faction's ancestor, Fairy Hongyu, might be a transmigrator.
However, he did not expect the other party to be Lin Fei's biological mother.
Moreover, the other party had deliberately assigned a fiance to Lin Fei and even relied on her strength to create an illusion that she had been captured by her family.
In this way, Lin Fei's motivation to cultivate to the Emperor Realm was fully secured.
This tactic was really good.
For the first time in his life, Lu Xiaoran felt a sense of danger.
They were both from the same background. Naturally, both parties knew the same tricks.
What was even more terrifying was that the other party had arrived many years earlier than him and her cultivation strength was also much stronger.
This situation was too dangerous. Lu Xiaoran felt that he might not be able to get through it.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoran even had the thought of leaving this place and finding a place to hide and cultivate to the Martial Monarch Realm with his disciples.
However, he knew that this was also unrealistic.
After killing Lin Fei, the other party should have already sensed him. It was even possible that the other party had already arrived in the Great Zhou and was only hiding in a dark place that he was unaware of and observing him.
Other than that, Fang Aotian of the Ancient Ape Tribe and Li Changsheng's old enemies were both growing rapidly. After a few years, they would probably ascend.
At that time, he would not have a chance to kill them even if he wanted to. And if they knew that Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng were here, they would attack sooner or later.
What would he do then?
Was he supposed to wait for his death?
Even if they did not come, he still had to cultivate, right?
Without Wang Cai and his disciples, it would probably be wishful thinking for him to increase his strength.
Most importantly, when he encountered a threat, he had to eliminate the threat permanently. This was the safest way.
Lu Xiaoran caressed his current strongest weapon, the divine weapon iron rod—the Mountain God Pillar.
The powerful divine might of the divine weapon made him feel a lot more courageous.
"I've decided. I'll give her a taste of my rod!"

Chapter 165: Fifth Disciple
For the next few days, Lu Xiaoran did not continue to cultivate. Instead, he personally guided his disciples, allowing them to further master their respective Martial Monarch Realm cultivation techniques and completely cultivate to the perfected level.
Their enemies were getting stronger and stronger. If he did not strengthen the few of them, Lu Xiaoran would be worried that he might not be able to defeat them.
As for Ji Wushang, Lu Xiaoran did not teach him and only gave him a Martial Monarch Realm Marrow Pill.
After all, Ji Wushang was not his disciple and Ji Wushuang's cultivation could not increase his own cultivation. Thus, he only casually gave him a medicinal pill to increase his cultivation by a realm level to let him fight that crown prince Ji Tianming.
In this way, after a month, the cultivation of the few precious disciples improved a lot.
Yun Lige's cultivation had increased to the fifth level of the Void Reversion Realm, Ji Wuxia's cultivation had increased to the eighth level of the Void Reversion Realm, and Fang Tianyuan's cultivation had increased to the perfected tenth level of the Void Reversion Realm. He was only a step away from entering the Creation Realm.
As for Li Changsheng, he had already broken through to the fourth level of the Creation Realm.
This might be related to them consuming the Divine Concentration Pill and increasing their talent.
After all, their talent was already very powerful and all had the potential to reach the Martial Monarch Realm.
The Soul Concentrating Pill increased their talent by a lot again, making them stronger than some hot shots.
It could be said that other than lacking the luck of being able to buy a Martial Monarch Realm weapon without two low-grade spirit stones, they were not inferior to the hot shots in any other aspect.
Coupled with Lu Xiaoran's guidance and the various holy pills he had given them, they were able to increase their strength in a short period of time.
Lu Xiaoran was not afraid that they would suffer from qi deviation due to insufficient martial comprehension.
After all, they were given the Martial Monarch Realm Soul Pill.
As their cultivation grew, Lu Xiaoran's strength finally broke through to the perfected tenth level of the Emperor Realm. He was only a step away from stepping into the Supreme Realm!
In a month, Wang Cai's upgrade was completed successfully.
This morning, just as Lu Xiaoran felt like going to the washroom, Wang Cai crawled out of his stomach.
It had transformed into a golden light and crawled out.
"Master, Master, I'm here. I haven't seen you in a month. Did you miss me a lot? Muah."
Wang Cai transformed into his physical body and ran around Lu Xiaoran's bed, waving his small tail like a flagpole.
He seemed to have grown a lot. If he was said to be a month-old puppy in the past, then he was now a two to three-month-old puppy.
Judging from his appearance, he looked a little like an ordinary grass dog. Lu Xiaoran actually liked wolfhounds. He estimated that he would be very handsome when he grew up.
Fortunately, he was not a husky. This was considered a blessing from the heavens. Lu Xiaoran was already content with this.
"Do you have any special abilities after your upgrade this time?"
"Of course. After my upgrade this time, the range of disciples I can search for has increased. Not only that, but the rewards have also become higher. Other than that, I can also give Master immunity to damage for a certain period of time. The immunity time will be fixed with Master's cultivation. This is my new ability. However, this immunity to damage is limited to damage within the same realm. It will not work against damage above your realm."
"Then how long will this immunity last?"
"About one second."
"I think you're insulting me."
"No, I really love Master."
"It's fine. The battle between experts is instantaneous anyway. One second is enough. It's better than nothing. Show me Yun Lige's cultivation interface."
"Alright, Master. It's being generated."
Lu Xiaoran did not pay attention to their cultivation information because he had long seen it.
He directly received a few small gift bags and opened them.
Mid-grade Martial Monarch Realm Martial Monarch Realm Soul Pill x741.
Low-grade Martial Monarch Realm Martial Monarch Realm Core Pill x250.
The Martial Monarch Realm Core Pill was refined from the ashes of a Martial Monarch Realm expert and was filled with extremely powerful energy. After being ignited by spirit energy, it could unleash an explosion comparable to a Martial Monarch Realm expert's ordinary attack.
It could be considered a strengthened version of a high-grade Saint Realm Explosion Thunder Pill.
"Good stuff. Although it's only comparable to a normal Martial Monarch Realm attack, it's still not something an ordinary person can withstand."
High-grade God Realm Black Tortoise Divine Armor x1.
The Black Tortoise Divine Armor was a special divine armor refined from the Black Tortoise Shell of an ancient divine beast. It had extremely powerful defensive properties. It was a little like an upgraded version of the Martial Monarch Realm Black Tortoise True Armor.
"This is not bad either. A defensive armor is good for survival at critical times."
He recalled the previous time when he had used an illusion technique to fight Yue Ying. Because he had only worn a layer of the Martial Monarch Realm armor, he got beat up to a pulp. At this moment, Lu Xiaoran immediately put on two layers of the Martial Monarch Realm armor. One on the inside and one on the outside.
It was not that he was afraid of death. After all, the old saying was right. His body and skin belonged to his parents and should not be easily damaged.
Moreover, he could use Fang Tianyuan's Indestructible Golden Body and Wang Cai's damage immunity ability. It was probably not easy for the other party to break through his defense even if he stood there and let others attack him.
It was simply perfect.
Then, he received a few more Martial Monarch Realm weapons. He did not have any cultivation techniques for the time being. However, now that he could even get a God Realm item from small gift bags, Lu Xiaoran had nothing to complain about.
After driving all of this, Lu Xiaoran asked again,
"Wang Cai, since you've fused another portion of the power of luck, did you get any new memories? Don't you remember something new every time you absorb the power of luck?"
Wang Cai nodded.
"I saw endless darkness. In this darkness, Master is fighting with countless people."
Lu Xiaoran was silent for a moment before saying faintly, "Were you just watching me get beat up?"
"Uh… I don't know. That's all I remember."
"Alright."
Lu Xiaoran estimated that this situation mostly meant that he had a previous life. He just did not know who he was in this previous life.
However, his character in his previous life was probably not good either. After all, he was beaten to death by a group of people…
Could it be that his cautious character in this life was only developed because he had been beaten up by a group of people in his previous life?
Lu Xiaoran could not think of anything after thinking for a long time. He shook his head and stopped thinking.
In any case, as Wang Cai's memories were constantly being recovered. The day would come when he would obtain all his memories.
"You just said that the search range has increased. Have you found any new disciples?"
"Yes, yes. I just found one. The other party is at the Great Zhou's northwest border."
"Isn't the northwest border near the Heaven Demon Sect? Why didn't you find this disciple before?"
"Master, the range of the search is not limited to the geographical level alone, but the spatial dimension level. For example, if a disciple is sealed in another space, it will be impossible for me to find the disciple when my ability is very weak. However, after my ability increases, I will be able to."
"I see. Then activate Soul Guidance and summon this disciple."
"Sorry, Master, I can't use Soul Guidance."
Lu Xiaoran: "???"
"She has already been dead for a long time and has been sealed in an extreme Yin land. She's already become a zombie."
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
"I suspect that you're fooling me, but I still can't tell for sure."
"Why would I fool Master? I'll send you her information."
Lu Xiaoran quickly saw the other party's message.
"Zhuge Ziqiong, the eldest daughter of the Zhuge family. Because her mother was angered to death by her father's mistress, she was extremely unkind to her half-sister and has been punished repeatedly.
Unexpectedly, three years later, her sister revealed her identity as a top-notch expert. Then, she defeated the Zhuge Clan and killed Zhuge Ziqiong and sealed her in the land of extreme cold. After nearly 200 years, her corpse matured and she developed the Jiangshi King bloodline. She became a top-grade zombie and her talent is between Tianyuan and Changsheng. In other words, she is a fourth-level genius. "
Damn, was this girl the female version of the legendary Crooked Mouth?
However, no matter what the disciple was this time, it seemed that Lige would never get a chance to rise up.
Even a zombie's talent was higher than his.
How was he supposed to compete?
As for the other party being a zombie, Lu Xiaoran was not shocked.
In this day and age, even the system manifested in the form of a dog. What was so strange about taking in a zombie disciple?
"This location is not far from the Heaven Demon Sect and the Ancient Ape Tribe. How about this? I'll use this opportunity to go and deal with Fang Aotian. However, I wonder if the Demon Sect has gone over and if the two sides have fought."
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoran summoned Yun Lige and the others.
"Greetings, Master."
The few of them cupped their hands and bowed.
"Lin Fei has been killed, but Lin Fei's family has not been wiped out. In order to prevent a comeback or if anyone from Lin Fei's family comes to take revenge, I'm prepared to send someone to destroy the Lin family."
Ji Wuxia, Fang Tianyuan, and Li Changsheng did not care much.
After losing Lin Fei, the Lin family was like a hunting dog that had lost its claws. They were no longer a threat.
Anyone present could easily destroy the Lin family.
However, they still had to obey their master's orders.
However, just as the three of them were thinking, Yun Lige had already raised his hand first.
"Master, leave this mission to me. As the Eldest Senior Brother, it's only natural for me to help Master resolve his problems."
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
"Then I'll leave it to you. Do it beautifully and don't leave anyone alive."
"Don't worry, Master. I promise to complete the mission."
Ji Wuxia and the other two were speechless. Their Eldest Senior Brother was really too good at bootlicking.
It was only a small mission. Looking at his impatient expression, it was as if he was afraid that he wouldn't get any benefits from Master if he acted any slower.
However, soon, they saw Lu Xiaoran take out a Martial Monarch Realm defensive armor and a few bottles of medicinal pills.
"Wear this Martial Monarch Realm armor inside. Then wear the Saint Realm and Heaven Realm armor outside. It's more appropriate to wear a few more layers. In addition, the medicinal pills here have healing properties. There are also some that can increase your attack power for a period of time. There are also some that can unleash attacks comparable to a full-power attack of a King Realm expert. They're high-grade Saint Realm Explosion Thunder Pills. After being ignited of spirit energy, it can be detonated when thrown out."
"Thank you, Master!"
Ji Wuxia: "???"
Fang Tianyuan: "???"
Li Changsheng: "???"
The three of them immediately had helpless expressions.
They originally thought that after the previous incident, they had already learned how to suck up to their master. However, they did not expect to still be far inferior to their Eldest Senior Brother.
Eldest Senior Brother really knew how to seize every opportunity to bootlick.
It was only a simple mission, but he had actually obtained so many benefits. Moreover, there was also the Martial Monarch Realm armor. They were really envious.
"Um… Master, should Eldest Senior Brother really go alone? What if the Lin family escapes? Why don't I go with him?"

Ji Wuxia suddenly spoke and made Lu Xiaoran nod.
"That's right. In that case, Wuxia, I'll let you and Lige go together. Lige will be the main attacker. You guard the outside to prevent anyone from the Lin family from escaping."
Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng immediately felt regretful, their hearts bleeding.
Why did they not think of this?
Ji Wuxia was overjoyed and immediately cupped her hands.
"As you wish, Master."
Lu Xiaoran continued,
"Remember, the same rules apply. Don't waste your breath and just attack directly. Use your most powerful moves . After destroying the Lin family, leave quickly and don't stay for long."
"Yes!"
After the two of them replied in unison, there was a long silence and silence.
After a while, Lu Xiaoran finally could not help but ask,
"Why aren't the two of you leaving?"
Ji Wuxia coughed lightly.
"Master, have you… forgotten something?"
Lu Xiaoran was somewhat puzzled.
"What did I forget?"
Ji Wuxia was somewhat anxious.
"Shouldn't Master also prepare an Emperor Realm armor for me? Or give me some powerful medicinal pills?"
"What do you want that for? You're not the one in charge of the attack. You're only guarding the periphery to avoid the small fries from escaping. Do you really need a Martial Monarch Realm weapon for this? Even if you're not embarrassed to use one, I would still be embarrassed for you."
Ji Wuxia was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, she simply felt like crying.
If she had known, she would have volunteered earlier. Now, she was working for nothing.
Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng could not help but chuckle.
Seeing their smug expressions, Lu Xiaoran said angrily,
"Are the two of you very happy?"
The two of them immediately stood up and shook their heads.
"We would never dare to be disrespectful in front of Master!"
"Yes, no matter how funny it is, we won't laugh."
Seeing that the two of them were holding back their laughter until their faces turned purple, Lu Xiaoran did not know what to say.
"Since the two of you are so free, then I have an assignment for you. Here, learn this location and go and dig out your little junior sister."
"Ah?"
Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng were instantly dumbfounded.
"Dig… dig out Little Junior Sister? Master, did I hear wrongly?"
"No, you didn't hear wrongly. I want you to dig her out."
With that said, Lu Xiaoran got Wang Cai to turn Zhuge Ziqiong's position into a mark. After that, Lu Xiaoran passed it to the two of them.
"Hurry up and don't waste time. After you're done, immediately meet up near the Ancient Ape Tribe. I'll wait for you there."
Hearing the words "Ancient Ape Tribe", Fang Tianyuan's body instantly trembled.
"Master, I'll go now."
He knew that his master was going to stand up for him this time.
After his disciples' missions were distributed, Lu Xiaoran finally set off and rushed to the Ancient Ape Tribe.
Since it was extremely far away, Lu Xiaoran did not rely on the teleportation ability of the Trinity True Eyes. Instead, he used the Martial Monarch Realm Heaven-Breaking Shuttle.
This thing was basically an extremely powerful and small flying ship. However, its appearance was not very elegant. It seemed like a detergent bottle.
It was not big, but it was very fast and would not deteriorate for a long time.
He did not need spirit stones to activate it. He only needed to place his hand on it and gently touch it to release a little weak spirit energy to obtain continuous kinetic energy.
Lu Xiaoran stepped on the Heaven-Breaking Shuttle. With a thought, spirit energy was injected into the Heaven-Breaking Shuttle and it instantly broke through the void, rushing to the vicinity of the Ancient Ape Tribe at an extremely fast speed.
A black light flashed in the void. Lu Xiaoran arrived near the Ancient Ape Tribe from the Imperial City.
He had just arrived at the Ancient Ape Tribe and happened to encounter a huge battle.
"Damn, what a coincidence. Did I encounter a hot battle?"
Lu Xiaoran smacked his lips and sat on the Heaven-Breaking Shuttle. He took out a small snack from his storage bag and ate as he watched the battle below.
"Looking at the clothes of the cultivators on both sides, it should be the Demon Sect and the Ancient Ape Tribe. That Demon Venerable is quite ruthless. It hasn't been long and she's already fighting Fang Aotian."
At this moment, the battle below was at the climax. However, the Demon Sect clearly did not have the advantage.
This was because there was a proud woman at the fourth level of the Void Reversion Realm on the other side. She held a Saint Realm weapon and was wearing a Saint Realm armor. She was killing a lot of the Demon Sect's people.
"Kill all these demon cultivators! Don't let a single one of them off."
She was ruthless. Every time she attacked, she would definitely take away many demon cultivators' lives.
Lu Xiaoran carefully observed. Although this woman's cultivation was not high, she cultivated a Saint Realm cultivation technique. Coupled with her Saint Realm weapon and armor, it was not a problem for her to be able to surpass two to three realm levels.
On the other hand, the Demon Sect's cultivators were not doing so well.
The entire battle did not last for more than two minutes before it ended with the Demon Sect cultivators being wiped out.
When the woman finished killing the last demon cultivator, the disciples of the Ancient Ape Tribe all jumped in joy, excitedly celebrating the victory of this battle.
"Long live the Ancient Ape Tribe! Long live Chief Aotian! Long live Madam Zi Yun!"
The woman's mouth curled up.
"In this battle, she killed a total of 8,000 demon cultivators. Her results are extraordinary. I wonder how Brother Aotian will reward her."
After putting the Saint Weapon back into her storage bag, she strode forward. Just as she was about to turn around, her head suddenly darkened.
"Not good!"
Her expression changed as she sensed a sense of danger. She was about to escape, but it was already too late.
Boom!
The Phoenix Perching Parasol Mark directly smashed down on her head, turning her into dust.
The strength of a Martial Monarch Realm weapon had even directly shattered her soul. Her Saint Realm armor had also been flattened.
The Ancient Ape Tribe disciples who were cheering were instantly petrified, as if they had turned into a pile of sand statues.
After a long while, everyone reacted and immediately lost control. Some directly fainted from fear, and others screamed heart-wrenchingly.
"Madam Zi Yun has been killed! Madam Zi Yun has been killed!"
Lu Xiaoran could not be bothered with these idiots. With a thought, the Phoenix Perching Parasol Mark was instantly retracted by him, and his figure disappeared from the world.
Before disappearing, he circulated his dantian and sent a voice transmission:
"Go back and tell Fang Aotian that our Demon Sect is not something your Ancient Ape Tribe can resist. Get him to surrender as soon as possible."
Running after fighting had always been Lu Xiaoran's good tradition.
It was also common for him to divert attention and scam others.
In any case, it was not like the Demon Sect was a good thing.
…
After leaving this area, Lu Xiaoran needed to find a place to gather information.
Information was especially important. After all, he did not know how far Fang Aotian had progressed.
It was unknown how the battle between the Demon Sect and the Ancient Ape Tribe had unfolded.
He had originally planned to find a nearby Acacia Faction.
However, because of his relationship with Lin Fei's mother, Fairy Hongyu, Lu Xiaoran dismissed this idea.
Who knew if that woman had visited the Acacia Faction. If she did, wouldn't he be exposed if he went to the Acacia Faction?
At that time, wouldn't he have to face the enemy's mother dramatically in advance.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoran could only find a pheasant sect to gather information.
It was the kind of small sect that even Li Daoran was unwilling to go to.
Not only was the service of this small mountain sect inferior to the service of the Acacia Faction, the fairies were also… well… perhaps it was no longer appropriate to call them fairies…
The cultivation of the low-quality fairies here was not high, so they were naturally worse at maintaining themselves than the fairies of the Acacia Faction.
The clothes they were wearing were even more ridiculous than the Acacia Faction's. As for how ridiculous they were, if their current appearances were placed on the website of Lu Xiaoran's old world, it would definitely require payment to be viewed.
Fortunately, Lu Xiaoran was wearing a bamboo hat and a coat, so these fairies could not see his handsome face and did not welcome him too warmly.
Lu Xiaoran found a fairy… who was dressed relatively normally. With a few steps, he arrived in front of the other party.
Seeing him arrive, the other party immediately narrowed her eyes, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly, and she leaned over coquettishly.
"Master, come and play."
Lu Xiaoran swept his gaze over the others around him and whispered without leaving a trace,
"I'm not here to have fun. I want to buy some information."
"So you want to buy information."
After hearing Lu Xiaoran's intentions, that fairy clearly lost her interest and returned to her previous lazy appearance.
Lu Xiaoran was not surprised by the other party's expression.
"Don't worry, you'll get your money."
The fairy was still not interested. Clearly, she did not know how much Lu Xiaoran had.
They usually only got paid a little when selling information.
"Don't be so arrogant. My price is very high. If you want to do it on the grass, it's ten low-grade spirit stones. In the room, it's thirty low-grade spirit stones each time. On the bed, it's fifty low-grade spirit stones. If you want to ask for information, then don't bother."
Lu Xiaoran directly took out a high-grade spirit stone and threw it in front of the other party.
"Do you believe that I can make you lie on the grass forever?"
Seeing that high-grade spirit stone, the fairy's eyes widened as she leaned towards Lu Xiaoran.
"Aiyo, Master, so you're actually a big shot."
Lu Xiaoran immediately took a step back.
"Keep your distance and talk nicely."
The fairy pursed her lips and smiled.
"Master, don't be angry. We're just a small sect in the wilderness. We rely on these spirit stones. If you had taken this out earlier, I wouldn't have treated you like that."
Lu Xiaoran shook his head.
"With your service attitude, it's no wonder you can't beat the Acacia Faction."
"Aiyo, grandpa, don't look down on our small sect in the wilderness. In terms of service, how can the Acacia Faction compete with us? Moreover, how much does the Acacia Faction cost?"
"You get good value here. If you don't believe me, you can try it now."
"I won't be willing if it's just one high-grade spirit stone. However, with two high-grade spirit stones, I guarantee I won't sleep in my bed tonight. Three spirit stones, you don't have to treat me like a human. Four spirit stones, I don't care how many people you bring with you. Five spirit stones, I don't care if the people you bring are humans or not!"
The corner of Lu Xiaoran's mouth twitched fiercely.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense with me. I want to know what's the current situation of the battle between the Ancient Ape Tribe and the Demon Sect."

"It's very tragic."
Fairy smacked her lips and shook her head.
"The Demon Sect was defeated. Even the Demon Sect's Demon Venerable was severely injured."
Lu Xiaoran: "???"
Was there a mistake? The Demon Venerable was a true Supreme Realm expert!
Even a Supreme Realm expert had been defeated?
"It can't be, right? How powerful is the Demon Sect's Demon Venerable? Can the Ancient Ape Tribe's Fang Aotian really resist her?"
"Master, you don't know. The cultivation of the Demon Sect cultivators is powerful, but the Ancient Ape Tribe is also not to be trifled with. The most basic ordinary disciples of the Ancient Ape Tribe all carry Profound Realm weapons. The elders with slightly higher status are also all Heaven Realm experts. In fact, those with higher cultivation even have a Saint Realm weapon and a Saint Realm armor."
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
He had indeed seen that Madam Zi Yun holding a Saint Realm weapon and wearing a Saint Realm armor before and did not pay much attention to the others. Now that he thought about it, the weapons those Ancient Ape Tribe disciples had seemed to also be very good.
"I heard that the Ancient Ape Tribe respects Fang Aotian as a god. They even said that Fang Aotian was born before the heavens!"
Originally, many sects in the surroundings had already approached the Ancient Ape Tribe. Now that the Ancient Ape Tribe had defeated the Demon Sect, their reputation had soared. Therefore, they had also subdued more sects.
According to some news, after this battle, Fang Aotian is very likely to become an emperor and even oppose the Great Zhou Empire. "
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
He was born before the heavens? Moreover, he even wanted to become an emperor?
The other party reminded Lu Xiaoran of the kids he had seen in the electronic factories back in the day.
Didn't they say that Fang Aotian had only fallen off a cliff back then?
Among the myriad tricks of the hot shots, he was the most common and most ordinary, right?
Could it be that his luck had changed?
Had he become a mutated version of the legendary Long Aotian?
After all, Long Aotian was a character who would show off and prove others wrong. He could casually attack and obtain a huge pile of treasures. He could easily get his hands on countless top-notch cultivation techniques, weapons, medicinal pills, and so on…
Lu Xiaoran was silent for a moment. He even had the urge to run back to the Imperial City overnight with the Heaven-Breaking Shuttle.
An ordinary hot shot was ordinary and impressive. A mutated hot shot was really not easy to deal with.
However, since the other party was already prepared to become an emperor, he would probably attack the Great Zhou Imperial City sooner or later.
This left Lu Xiaoran with no choice. He could only attack or endure.
He decided to take him head-on!
"Speaking of which, Master, why don't you join the Ancient Ape Tribe with us? Now, the Ancient Ape Tribe is heavily recruiting. The conditions are good, and the benefits are high. You can cultivate freely and not be forced to. Once you enter, you can cultivate cultivation techniques above the Profound Realm."
"I heard that as long as you're powerful enough, you can directly obtain an Earth Realm weapon or a Heaven Realm weapon after joining the Ancient Ape Tribe. If your cultivation exceeds the Soul Refinement Realm, you might even obtain a Saint Realm weapon."
Lu Xiaoran was suddenly speechless. Join them if you can't beat them?
How could he do that?
This Fang Aotian was a degenerate… no, a mutated version of Long Aotian. If so, how strong must his halo be? How powerful was his ability to reduce the intelligence of those around him?
Once Lu Xiaoran joined the Ancient Ape Tribe, his IQ would probably instantly plummet and he would become Fang Aotian's loyal little bootlicker.
In that case, Lu Xiaoran would rather kill himself with a piece of tofu.
Wait, this mountain sect's business was clearly abnormal. Many fairies had already developed evil aura in their bodies.
Since they wanted to join the Ancient Ape Tribe, he might as well help them.
He would let them join the Ancient Ape Tribe and then spread the evil aura out. Then, they would all be infected and become evil cultivators. It would be best if they could infect Fang Aotian's wife and then let Fang Aotian's wife infect him. That would be perfect.
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and Lu Xiaoran adjusted his cloak slightly to reveal his eyes.
"The money of the Ancient Ape Tribe is very easy to earn. After joining the Ancient Ape Tribe, you will have more money than you can earn. You will have the most customers in the entire Great Zhou. You will not need to work and will only need to lie from morning to night every day for 24 hours. If you keep this up for two months, you will be rich. It will be smooth sailing from here on."
These fairies' cultivation levels were extremely low. They were unable to resist the illusionary technique of the Trinity True Eyes at all.
After receiving Lu Xiaoran's illusion technique, she immediately ran in the direction of the Ancient Ape Tribe. She was afraid that if she was slower, two customers would be snatched away.
"Wang Cuihua, why are you running so quickly? Do you really need a man that much?"
The figures of the fairies gradually disappeared, but Lu Xiaoran's expression did not relax much.
His thoughts were indeed wonderful, but he was not stupid enough to think that he could kill Fang Aotian with this small trick.
This Fang Aotian was too powerful. Previously, be it Xiao Bei or Lin Fei, they had only been powerful themselves. However, this Fang Aotian was not only abnormally powerful, but he had also directly created a large group of powerful subordinates.
Moreover, he could even defeat a Supreme Realm expert. This guy was simply too powerful.
Even Xiao Bei and Lin Fei combined were not enough to deal with him.
It was simply a fool's dream for them to beat Fang Aotian with their current cultivation.
It was even to the extent that it might be somewhat dangerous for him to go alone.
No, he had to become stronger!
If he did not become stronger, it would not be worth it if he died in the Ancient Ape Tribe.
Lu Xiaoran was very smart and his brain worked very quickly. He instantly thought of a series of plans.
First, he would find a place to hide and then level up the Martial Monarch Realm weapons he had.
Didn't Fang Aotian have a lot of equipment? In that case, he would take the high-end path.
Previously, when he opened the gift bag, Wang Cai had given him a few Divine Dao Spirit Stones. He would just need to find a few suitable Martial Monarch Realm weapons and upgrade them into divine weapons.
After his disciples arrived, he would think of a way to increase their strength before capturing Fang Aotian in one go.
Perfect.
Lu Xiaoran quickly found a family in the surroundings.
This was also not from a proper family. This family had some cultivators themselves and also hired other cultivators.
They were the kind that would cultivate lazily. When faced with danger and a lack of manpower, they would spend some spirit stones to hire cultivators to help them out.
In fact, it was not only the itinerant cultivators who did this. Sometimes, the sects also hired people.
For example, in a battle between sects, if one sect did not have enough people, the sect would spend a lot of spirit stones to hire a group of cultivators from other sects.
Lu Xiaoran had never been hired himself, but Li Daoran had been hired a few times and had told him about it. Therefore, he knew more about it.
The owner of the house was an uncle with a beard. His eyes were yellow, his skin was dark, and he had a mouthful of yellow teeth. There was also a lot of evil aura in his body. He had probably visited those pheasant sects frequently.
After Lu Xiaoran explained his intentions, the owner lifted his clothes and buttoned his big belly, producing a lot of mud.
"Fellow Daoist, my house is completely handmade and has a Spirit Gathering Formation engraved on it. Do you think you can buy such a good house just because you want to? Leave. It's impossible for me to sell it to you."
"There's nothing money can't buy. Name a price."
"No matter how much money you give me today, even if you kill me and throw me off the mountain to feed the wolves, it's impossible for me to…"
Before he could say the word "sell", Lu Xiaoran threw out 20 high-grade spirit stones.
The moment he saw these high-grade spirit stones, the other party's expression instantly changed. He immediately lowered his head and hunched his back. The expression on his face was also extremely flattering.
"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to be so generous. It's just a small house. How can it compare to friendship between people? Don't you think so, Fellow Daoist?"
"You can leave now."
"Alright, I'll leave now. However, before I leave, I have something I want to ask you for help with."
"Speak."
Lu Xiaoran had always been a man of few words to strangers. After all, the more he spoke, the more information he revealed.
"It's like this. my lover's sect that has just been destroyed by the Demon Sect. She gave birth to a daughter for me and has never seen me. Now that her mother is gone and the sect is gone, she says that she wants to rely on me. She'll probably be here in the next two days. At that time, tell her that I've joined the Ancient Ape Tribe. If she wants to find me, tell her to go to the Ancient Ape Tribe to find me."
"Got it."
Lu Xiaoran nodded. The other party thanked him and immediately left in the southeast direction with a smile.
After he left, Lu Xiaoran directly slapped his house away. Then, he built another house on the spot and also set up a few Martial Monarch Realm defensive formations to make the entire house comparable to a Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
Then, he set up a killing formation around the house. If anyone attacked, the killing formation would counterattack on its own.
Then, he set up a large array formation outside the house.
From time to time, he would set up a trap formation somewhere.
To a cautious Lu Xiaoran who was proficient in array formations and games of tower defense, unless a Saint Realm expert came, one would simply be unable to break through his array formation.
After doing all of this, Lu Xiaoran began to forge his Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
The Mountain and River State Painting definitely had to be forged into a divine weapon. Ever since he discovered that this thing could suck people in to fight inside, Lu Xiaoran had become extremely fond of it.
He definitely had to have something good like this.
Then, it was the Xuanyuan Sword. Among all of Lu Xiaoran's Martial Monarch Realm weapons, this sword was the most powerful when used with cultivation techniques.
Next was the Emperor Nine Yang Armor. Lu Xiaoran already had a God Realm armor, and he had just obtained the Black Tortoise Divine Armor.
If Fang Aotian had not defeated the Demon Sect, he might not have cared so much about defense. However, even a Supreme Realm expert like the Demon Venerable had been injured. Lu Xiaoran felt that it was safer for him to get another God Realm armor.
Other than that, Lu Xiaoran had also strengthened the Phoenix Perching Parasol Mark. This thing was top-notch when it was used to smash people. It was like a brick and had top-notch damage. It was easy to use and was extremely convenient. It could also be enlarged and shrunk. It could attack a single target or multiple targets at once.
Lu Xiaoran gave the fifth Divine Dao Spirit Stone to the Fire Dragon Purgatory Lock.
This thing was a chain-type Dharma treasure. Not only could it be used to restrain others, but it also had the ability to catch on fire. It was forged from dragon tendons, dragon bones, and dragon scales. Its might was extraordinary.
After capturing Fang Aotian, he would definitely let the other party have a taste of his top-grade Island-style binding technique and then use a thousand Martial Monarch Realm cultivation techniques to send him on his way.

Chapter 168: Child, I'm Your Father
After two days and nights of forging, Lu Xiaoran finally forged the Martial Monarch Realm weapons into divine weapons.
He shook off the sweat on his forehead. Because it was too hot, the clothes on his upper body had already been removed. His healthy muscles were perfected by the sunlight. The sweat flowing on his skin was like diamonds that reflected the sunlight's colorful colors.
"Hah! It's been too long since I last refined weapons. My hands are a little rusty."
Although he said this, Lu Xiaoran's weapon refinement technique was still extremely top-notch. If it was not top-notch, he would not be able to forge a divine weapon.
Lu Xiaoran estimated that he was the only one in the world who could forge divine weapons.
In terms of secondary professions, no one was his match. This was because secondary professions relied on attainments instead of daily cultivation.
If only cultivation could also rely on attainments. If he could cultivate to the Martial Monarch Realm in ten years, he wouldn't have to work so hard now.
"How did these Martial Monarch Realm weapons become low-grade God Realm weapons? Wang Cai, come out and explain to me."
"Coming, coming, Master, I'm here."
Wang Cai flew out of Lu Xiaoran's body. As soon as he came out, he saw Lu Xiaoran's powerful muscles and was instantly stunned on the spot. Then, two streams of blood flowed out of the dog's nose.
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
He silently picked up the Martial Monarch Realm hammer he used to forge his weapons, the Void Shattering Hammer. Wang Cai immediately wiped the blood from his nose and looked elsewhere.
"Master, why are you looking for me?"
Seeing that he was still sensible, Lu Xiaoran finally put down the Martial Monarch Realm weapon in his hand and voiced his doubts.
"My forging skills should be good enough. Why are the divine weapons I forged all low-grade God Realm?"
"Because Master only added one Divine Dao Spirit Stone to each Martial Monarch Realm weapon. A material like a Divine Dao Spirit Stone can indeed evolve a Martial Monarch Realm weapon into a divine weapon. However, Master, don't forget that no matter how impressive Master's forging technique is, you can only use the material to its limit."
"Otherwise, wouldn't his master be able to create a Martial Monarch Realm weapon or even a divine weapon by just hitting the air?
"If Master wants to forge a higher-grade divine weapon, Master would have to add in more Divine Dao Spirit Stones.
"However, Master had already done very well. This was because even if Master had the Divine Dao Spirit Stones, the forging process might not be 100% successful. After all, this is completely dependent on his character and forging skills.
"Even in the Divine World, blacksmiths don't dare to say that they will succeed every time. On the other hand, Master succeeded with all five weapons. This is already very impressive."
"I see."
Lu Xiaoran put away his divine weapon and threw the Void Shattering Hammer to the side of the furnace.
Looks like in the future, he would have to collect more Divine Dao Spirit Stones in order to forge his divine weapons to an even higher level.
Now that he did not have enough materials, there was nothing he could do.
He decided to be satisfied with this for now.
"Now, let's talk about the previous two God Realm cultivation techniques. One of them is the Supreme Profound Dipper Technique, and the other is the Great Dao Reincarnation. I can't cultivate these two cultivation techniques now, but I need to use the abilities inside. Can you help me think of a way?"
"Hmm…"
Wang Cai lowered his small head and began to ponder.
"This is a little difficult. Master's current strength is not enough, so it's definitely impossible for Master to cultivate it himself. However, it's not impossible for Master to refine the might of these two cultivation techniques. After all, Master already has a divine weapon like the Mountain and River State Painting. Master can think of a way to fuse a God Realm cultivation technique into it."
"Master can only fuse a little bit and there's also a time limit. It's impossible to fuse the two permanently. Also, it will consume a lot of spirit stones."
Lu Xiaoran thought for a moment.
"Then let's fuse it with the Great Dao Reincarnation for a short period of time. Isn't this thing able to control time? After that, we can reduce the time flow in the Mountain and River State Painting a little and let Lige and the others cultivate in it for a month. I'll make it so that only a few days go by in the real life."
This could at least help them increase their cultivation quickly.
It couldn't be helped. The hot shots were all rapidly increasing their cultivations. Not to mention their cultivation levels, Yun Lige and the others still had to chase after the hot shots and set up traps before fighting them.
In comparison, they had more work to be done and less time to cultivate.
He had to think of a way to increase their strength faster.
Most importantly, only then would his own cultivation increase faster.
He was indeed a genius.
"I wonder if Lige and the others have completed the mission. Wang Cai, use Soul Guidance."
"Alright."
Wang Cai used Soul Guidance. This technique was very useful. No matter where the disciples were, they would be able to sense Lu Xiaoran and approach him. It was like a natural big magnetic field.
After settling all of this, Lu Xiaoran finally went to rest for a moment.
After working for two days in a row, he felt as if his body had been hollowed out.
…
At the same time, two beautiful figures also quietly arrived at the foot of the mountain.
"Demon Venerable, I didn't expect this Fang Aotian to be so powerful. Even you accidentally fell into his hands and almost died."
"Every generation has its geniuses. Perhaps, my era has already passed."
"Demon Venerable, don't be discouraged. I think this Fang Aotian was just lucky."
"Although he's only a first level King Realm martial artist, do you really think that it was a fluke for him to be able to defeat me by crossing two realm levels?"
"But didn't he rely on a Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique to hinder Demon Venerable's movements? He even detonated his Martial Monarch Realm weapon to severely injure you! If not for that, he wouldn't be your match at all."
"You Lan, remember, don't find excuses for yourself. Because sometimes, luck is also a part of strength. Moreover, not to mention you, even I might not have the courage to detonate a Martial Monarch Realm weapon."
"This…"
You Lan was already speechless. Demon Venerable was right.
A Martial Monarch Realm weapon was not something one would easily detonate. This courage was not something an ordinary person was capable of.
First, you had to have a Martial Monarch Realm weapon. Then, you had to be willing to detonate this rare and extremely rare weapon.
In any case, if she obtained a Martial Monarch Realm weapon, she might not be willing to detonate it even if she died.
"Then, Demon Venerable, what's our next step?"
"Retreat."
"But we've already sacrificed so many disciples. Are they going to sacrifice for nothing?"
"That's also something that can't be helped. If we continue fighting, it will only cause more damage to our holy Demon Sect. Moreover, there's still the huge threat of the Great Zhou Imperial Family. We can't let our guard down."
After a pause, the Demon Venerable continued,
"However, this might be a good thing. That Fang Aotian is too arrogant and has his eyes on the top of his head. He doesn't care about anyone. Currently, he has already begun to recruit troops and gather armies, absorbing the surrounding sects to prepare to establish another empire. With such an action, the Great Zhou will definitely not sit idly by. At that time, when the two sides fight to the death, we can sit idly by and reap the spoils later."
"Demon Venerable is wise."
As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them suddenly stopped.
This was because they realized that they seemed to have lost their way.
"Demon Venerable, could there be an ambush?"
You Lan's expression became somewhat solemn, and the Demon Venerable shook her head slightly.
"No, if there was an ambush, the other party would have long attacked us. Moreover, you and I came out to relax secretly this time. No third person knows. Who would have come in advance to set up an ambush?"
"Then what's going on here?"
"There should be some powerful existence cultivating here. There are many capable people on the continent. The Great Zhou isn't the only one that's powerful."
"Then what should we do?"
Without answering her subordinate, the Demon Venerable swept her gaze around and cupped her hands.
"Junior Ling Xinyue accidentally entered Senior's seclusion ground and did not mean to offend you. Senior, please be magnanimous and open the illusion formation to let us out."
This voice contained a large amount of spirit energy that spread far.
Lu Xiaoran, who was originally resting with his eyes closed on the mountaintop, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Ling Xinyue, is she the illegitimate daughter of the previous owner?"
However, when he used the Trinity True Eyes to look, his pupils suddenly constricted.
"Isn't this… her?"
Lu Xiaoran did not expect the person below to be none other than the Demon Sect's Demon Venerable.
Previously, the two of them had exchanged blows. When they were chasing after Elder Netherworld, one of her clones had been shattered by him.
He did not expect her to appear at the foot of his mountain.
She was definitely not the illegitimate daughter of the previous owner. She had probably barged in by accident.
Should he kill her?
Lu Xiaoran quietly took out the God Realm iron rod, the Mountain God Pillar, and wondered if he should use his rod on her.
After all, she was currently severely injured and could only unleash her cultivation at the King Realm.
However, Lu Xiaoran quickly thought of a problem. If he used his rod to kill her, wouldn't he let Fang Aotian advance?
Fang Aotian was currently recruiting and preparing to establish his own sect.
At that time, he would definitely be a huge threat to the Great Zhou Empire and Lu Xiaoran.
At this moment, it was better not to kill the Demon Venerable. After all, the enemy of an enemy was a friend.
Lu Xiaoran's eyes rolled and the corner of his mouth curled up.
"Perfect. Since you're here, I'll make use of you."
Thinking of this, he silently retracted his rod and walked down the mountain.
As for the Demon Venerable, after shouting a few times, no one responded. She could not help but feel somewhat helpless.
"Looks like there's no one. In that case, there's nothing we can do."
Taking a deep breath, her eyes suddenly turned blood red.
That was a mark that would only appear when she used her demon technique.
As soon as the demon technique appeared, the surrounding flowers and trees instantly withered. The spirit energy in the air was constantly absorbed by her before transforming into a cold and dark power.
"Open!"
After a shout, dark power surged crazily, shaking the entire valley.
The corners of You Lan's mouth curled up.
With Demon Venerable making a move, no matter how powerful the illusion formation was, it was still nothing but mud in the hands of a child.
It was simply not enough!

Boom!
A dark power erupted, and a powerful pressure swept through the surroundings with a destructive force.
At this moment, the entire valley was enveloped in darkness.
Then, the darkness slowly disappeared, and You Lan heaved a sigh of relief.
Although she had already seen Lord Demon Venerable attack countless times, she still felt very shocked every time she saw it from a close distance.
Lord Demon Venerable was currently severely injured so the strength she could unleash was less than 1% of her previous strength.
However, it still shocked him speechless.
At this moment, the array formation should be broken… Hmm?
You Lan's eyes suddenly widened as she looked at everything in disbelief.
What was going on?
Was there a mistake?
The surrounding scenery was actually the same as before. Even the withered flowers and plants under their feet did not change!
Damn, wasn't this illusion formation too powerful?
It had to be known that even if the Demon Venerable could not use her full strength, she could still unleash an attack comparable to a King Realm expert.
This attack was also considered to be quite powerful in the Great Zhou.
Ling Xinyue was silent for a moment before attacking again.
Unfortunately, after this, everything was still the same.
This time, her expression began to turn solemn.
"Let's go!"
A storm had already surged in her heart. The array formation under her feet was definitely extraordinary. If she stayed any longer, the two of them might die.
"We if head in the direction we came from, we should be able to return."
She thought.
Unfortunately, after dozens of breaths, the two of them, who could have left with a single thought, still did not escape from the array formation.
"Damn it!"
Ling Xinyue's heart became heavier. She immediately took out her Martial Monarch Realm weapon, a black lotus.
However, a few of the black lotus petals had already shattered. They were the petals that had been struck by Long Aotian's detonated Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
As soon as the Martial Monarch Realm weapon appeared, Ling Xinyue's might increased by 30%.
"Break!"
The order actually caused the air to distort.
With this Martial Monarch Realm weapon, Ling Xinyue created a spatial distortion to break through the illusion formation and escape.
When a flaw appeared in the illusionary formation, Ling Xinyue immediately grabbed You Lan's arm and used the spatial movement-type Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique to teleport away.
"Hah! We finally escaped."
The corner of Ling Xinyue's mouth curled up slightly, but before her brows could relax, several lights lit up not far away.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Light lit up. In less than a second, nearly a thousand lights suddenly bombarded her and her maidservant, You Lan.
"It's over!"
At this moment, even Ling Xinyue suddenly felt like she was at the end of her rope.
The powerful attack made the two of them dizzy. The dense and fast attack did not give the two of them any chance to react.
This continued for a few seconds before the two women finally could not take it anymore and fainted one after the other.
Lu Xiaoran sat on the rock beside him and ate his snacks as he watched the two of them get beaten up passively.
After the two of them fainted, he dusted his hands and walked over. He grabbed the back of each of their necks and carried them back to the house like he was carrying two puppies.
After returning, he snapped his fingers, and two cold water waves instantly condensed in the air, fiercely splashing onto the two girls' heads. Immediately, the two of them exclaimed and woke up.
"Demon Venerable, are you alright?"
Ling Xinyue did not answer her because she had discovered Lu Xiaoran's existence immediately.
"Who are you?"
As soon as she said this, You Lan realized that Lu Xiaoran was also here and immediately became vigilant.
Lu Xiaoran sat on the reclining chair and crossed his legs.
"Who do you think I am? Of course I'm your father."
"Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?"
You Lan immediately berated angrily and was about to attack when a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Lu Xiaoran's body. It instantly struck You Lan's chest, immediately making her vomit blood and retreat.
Pfft!
Ling Xinyue's pupils constricted because she inexplicably felt that Lu Xiaoran's cultivation was very powerful!
Because Lu Xiaoran had not used his cultivation technique or his full strength, she was unable to see through Lu Xiaoran. However, Lu Xiaoran concealed it very well. Even if she used her full strength, she was still unable to see through Lu Xiaoran's true strength.
Therefore, at this moment, intense shock and seriousness suddenly surged in her heart.
She could not provoke this guy casually. Otherwise, she might die here!
At this moment, Lu Xiaoran also cast his gaze on her.
"Daughter, your servant is useless! She's simply brainless. She clearly knows that he can't beat me, but she's still posturing here. Isn't this courting death?"
"You!"
You Lan wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Ling Xinyue.
"You Lan, don't be rude."
Then, she secretly communicated with her mind,
"This senior might think of me as his daughter. Don't speak nonsense, or else you might get killed."
Only then did You Lan stop. Then, Ling Xinyue could not help but ask in confusion,
"Senior, do you have any proof that I'm your daughter?"
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand and said, "If you're not my daughter, why did you come to such a remote place in the wilderness? Previously, your mother sent me a letter saying that her sect had been destroyed by the Demon Sect and that she couldn't make it anymore. She asked you to come and join me. Other than my daughter, who else knows my position?"
After a pause, Lu Xiaoran continued,
"Although I haven't seen you since you were born, you're still my flesh and blood. I'll definitely take good care of you. In the future, stay here."
Ling Xinyue transmitted her voice to You Lan again.
"Remember this. Investigate immediately after you return. Find out if what he's saying is true."
"Yes."
Then, Ling Xinyue cupped her hands towards Lu Xiaoran and said,
"I see. I was rude just now. Senior, please don't blame me."
"You're still calling me senior? Shouldn't you call me something else?"
Ling Xinyue's beautiful face twitched. She naturally knew what Lu Xiaoran meant.
She immediately took a deep breath and was silent for a few seconds.
"Father!"
You Lan was dumbfounded. Ling Xinyue, the dignified Demon Venerable of the Demon Sect that caused the entire Great Zhou to change their expressions, was actually calling someone else father!
Wasn't… wasn't this too humiliating?
In reality, Ling Xinyue was naturally unwilling to refer to the other party as her father.
If she were at her peak strength, she would have long fought Lu Xiaoran. If she did not beat him up, she would directly give up her Demon Venerable title to him.
Unfortunately, she was unable to defeat Lu Xiaoran at all. Her injuries were too severe. Moreover, she had just been attacked by so many array formations. At this moment, her head was still buzzing.
Compared to dignity, survival was clearly more important!
However, after she shouted, Lu Xiaoran also smiled and took out a bottle of medicinal pills.
"Good baby, you're so obedient. Here, this is my greeting gift to you. Take it."
"Thank… thank you."
"Thank who? I didn't hear you clearly."
Ling Xinyue almost vomited blood.
However, in order to survive, she could only take a deep breath and suppress the shock in her heart.
"Thank you, Father."
"That's right. Here, take it."
Ling Xinyue received the medicinal pill and threw it to You Lan behind her without even looking.
As the Demon Venerable of the holy Demon Sect, what medicinal pills had she not seen before? Medicinal pills below the Earth Realm were simply not worthy of her attention. She also ate Heaven Realm medicinal pills like candy.
It was even to the extent that she could often consume low-grade Saint Realm medicinal pills.
You Lan did not mind. Although she was even inferior to Demon Venerable and the best pills she had consumed were only Heaven Realm medicinal pills, she was still not something ordinary people could compare to.
However, her curiosity still made her secretly open a porcelain bottle. In an instant, a majestic spirit energy was transmitted.
Just smelling the medicinal fragrance made her entire body feel comfortable. All her injuries seemed to vaguely want to recover.
"This… this is…?"
You Lan's eyes instantly widened. Then, she immediately rushed forward and patted the Demon Venerable on the shoulder.
"Demon Venerable, look."
Ling Xinyue could not help but frown slightly. Just as she was about to berate her, she suddenly felt that the aura in the small porcelain bottle was not right.
Then, she swept her divine sense over, and her beautiful eyes immediately widened.
"This… this… this is a top-grade Saint Realm medicinal pill?"
Lu Xiaoran smiled and said, "Not bad, you're quite knowledgeable. You can even recognize a top-grade Saint Realm medicinal pill. This is a top-grade Saint Realm Wind Cloud Pill that can quickly repair injuries. Us martial artists inevitably encounter some hurdles when cultivating. Take this medicinal pill in case you don't have anything you can use to heal your injuries."
Ling Xinyue was dumbfounded.
"This… this bottle contains 50 pills. Are you really giving them all to me?"
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
"Of course. You're my only daughter. Who else can I give it to?"
After a pause, Lu Xiaoran continued,
"You just arrived today. Find a room for yourself first. I'll be busy for a while. I still have a weapon that I haven't forged."
As he spoke, Lu Xiaoran stepped out, leaving the two girls shocked in the room.
"Who is this person? He can casually produce a top-grade Saint Realm medicinal pill! He's simply too terrifying!"
"I don't know. The Great Zhou Empire is vast and there are many capable people. However, I've never heard of this person. Demon Venerable, do you think… he's trying to scam us? What does he want from us?"
"Why would you easily give out 50 top-grade Saint Realm medicinal pills if you were trying to scam someone?"
You Lan fell silent. Not to mention 50 top-grade Saint Realm medicinal pills, even a single top-grade Earth Realm medicinal pill would make her heart ache.
However, this guy casually took out 50 top-grade Saint Realm pills. This boldness and methods were definitely not something ordinary people could compare to.
At this moment, Ling Xinyue's gaze inadvertently swept over the array formation engraved on the roof. In an instant, her delicate body suddenly trembled.
"This… this… this is…"
You Lan was somewhat puzzled.
"Demon Venerable, what's wrong?"
"This is a Martial Monarch Realm formation!"
"Heavens, Demon Venerable, what did you say?"

Chapter 170: The City Is Complicated But So Is the Village
"Do you think I'll lie to you? Moreover, if I'm not wrong, this is a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm formation."
Ling Xinyue's words made You Lan's mind suddenly tremble, and her small head felt dizzy.
Martial Monarch Realm formation!
This ridiculous guy had actually set up a Martial Monarch Realm formation in his small house!
Who was this guy?
It had to be known that in the entire Great Zhou, other than the Great Zhou Imperial City and the Demon Sect's hall, there was no Martial Monarch Realm formation anywhere else.
Moreover, the Martial Monarch Realm formation in the Demon Sect Hall was the worst kind of low-grade Martial Monarch Realm formation.
However, there was actually a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm formation here!
It had to be known that this was a small house!
Although Lu Xiaoran was not here, their words fell into his ears, making him unable to help but smile.
If he was not willing to make sacrifices, he would not be able to trick them.
He would first trick them into continuing to attack Fang Aotian. Then, he would hide behind and control everything. When the time was right, he would then destroy Fang Aotian in one go.
Actually, he originally did not want to rack his brains like this. However, he was unable to figure out Fang Aotian's situation. Moreover, Fang Aotian was too powerful and was much stronger than Xiao Bei and Lin Fei.
After all, the other party could easily take out Saint Realm weapons. He was definitely not simple.
If he attacked rashly, he would very likely suffer heavy losses or even die because he did not know the other party's background.
Wasn't it better to be alive?
In order to live well, he had to spend more time thinking about how he could use all the resources he had.
It was really a pity not to use a good puppet like Ling Xinyue.
Thinking of this, he took off his shirt and coughed lightly. He picked up the Void Shattering Hammer and began to forge his weapon.
Previously, he had made a huge fortune in the Ancient Forbidden Area.
With the fur, bones, blood essence, scales, and demon crystals of so many high-level demon beasts, he could use them to create a batch of weapons.
Hearing Lu Xiaoran's movement outside, the two of them immediately crawled out and secretly looked out the window.
The moment they saw Lu Xiaoran's broad, firm, and muscular back, their eyes immediately became somewhat unnatural.
Ling Xinyue was still fine. After all, she was the Demon Venerable. Her cultivation was extremely deep, and her mental state was also extremely deep.
As for You Lan, her face directly turned red and her heart pounded. She was somewhat unable to control herself.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoran had already set up the materials. Then, he raised the Void Shattering Hammer in his hand and began to forge his weapon.
The moment the Void Shattering Hammer was raised, the two of them were instantly petrified on the spot.
Seeing Lu Xiaoran use the hammer to hit again and again, You Lan was dumbfounded on the spot.
"Demon Venerable… Demon Venerable, that's a Martial Monarch Realm weapon, right?"
Although Ling Xinyue did not want to admit it, she had no choice but to nod.
"It's a Martial Monarch Realm weapon. It's indeed a Martial Monarch Realm weapon."
"He's using a Martial Monarch Realm weapon as a hammer to forge a weapon?"
You Lan felt that her worldview had completely collapsed and was at a loss for words.
However, this was not the most devastating because the two of them discovered that the weapons and armor Lu Xiaoran made were almost all top-notch and peerless.
For example, the leather armor made with the skin of a Creation Realm expert and demon crystals should have been a Heaven Realm armor. In fact, some blacksmiths who were not skilled enough might only be able to forge an Earth Realm armor with these materials.
However, in Lu Xiaoran's hands, the armor would become the best among all the other armor of the same level.
It would be more acceptable if Lu Xiaoran could only do this once. However, this was not the case. As long as the armor was forged by him, they were all the strongest and best!
How powerful was his forging technique?
What was even more shocking and speechless was that Lu Xiaoran could create one in less than ten breaths.
At this moment, be it You Lan or Ling Xinyue, they both felt as if they were in a dream.
At this moment, be it You Lan or Ling Xinyue, they both felt as if they were in a dream.
It had to be known that even an extremely good blacksmith would need to spend a lot of time forging weapons. Some blacksmiths would even spend months or even years forging extremely top-grade weapons or armor.
Take the current most famous blacksmith in the Great Zhou Empire, Du Wushuang, for example. It would probably take him 17 days to forge a Saint Weapon. Moreover, he was even the record holder of the Great Zhou Empire.
These were all information that could be easily obtained in the Great Zhou. It was rather accurate.
However, for Lu Xiaoran, no matter what he forged, it would basically be completed in less than 60 breaths.
If they had not seen this scene with their own eyes, the two of them would definitely not believe it.
The two of them even suspected that it would probably take less than two hours for Lu Xiaoran to forge a Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
The two of them stayed at the window for almost two hours. It was as if they felt that they could not stand the blow. At this moment, Ling Xinyue finally spoke.
"Let's go."
"Ah? Where should we go?"
You Lan was puzzled. Ling Xinyue took a deep breath and said,
"He now thinks that I'm his daughter, so he should have removed the array formation and allowed me to go in."
As she spoke, Ling Xinyue arrived outside, and Lu Xiaoran finally stopped.
Fortunately, these two fellows had come out. His forging strength was too powerful and his forging speed was fast. By now, the materials in the Mountain and River State Painting were almost used up. At this moment, he felt that his forging strength seemed to have increased by a lot.
Just as he was thinking about why the two of them had not moved, the two of them came out.
"You two are out. Have you chosen your rooms?"
"Not yet, but I want to go down the mountain first."
"Go down the mountain? It's chaotic at the foot of the mountain now. What are you going down the mountain for?"
Lu Xiaoran pretended to be shocked. Ling Xinyue had naturally thought of an excuse long ago.
"Actually, I hid something at the foot of the mountain and didn't bring it up. I wanted to go down the mountain to find it."
"I see. Then do you want me to go with you? If you encounter any danger, I can take care of you."
"Uh… no thanks."
Ling Xinyue immediately waved her hand. If Lu Xiaoran learned that she was actually the Demon Sect's Demon Venerable and not his biological daughter, wouldn't he skin her alive?
In her current state, she was extremely afraid of Lu Xiaoran. This unknown big shot casually made her feel as if he was a tall mountain. She looked up at him until her neck hurt.
"Alright, but you have to come back early. I've just made some weapons and armor. Take them to protect yourself in case you encounter any danger."
Gulp.
Ling Xinyue looked at the small mountain-like weapons in front of her and could not help but swallow hard.
Although these were not Martial Monarch Realm weapons, they were at least top-grade Heaven Realm weapons and protective items. There were even many top-grade Saint Realm weapons. Even as a Demon Venerable, she could not help but feel envious.
After all, she only had a low-grade Martial Monarch Realm weapon. Moreover, it had been destroyed by Fang Aotian when he detonated his Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
Now, even a Saint Weapon was very tempting to her.
"Can I really… take it?"
"Of course."
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand and said very coolly,
"Take it. Who asked you to be my daughter? What's mine is yours. Even if I don't give it to you now, I'll pass it to you sooner or later. After all, I still hope you can support me in my old age."
"Thank you."
Lu Xiaoran raised his eyebrows.
"Thank who?"
"Thank you, Father."
Although she was somewhat embarrassed, Ling Xinyue could not help but call the other party "father".
Moreover, she inexplicably felt that this feeling was not bad.
As a Demon Venerable who killed without batting an eye, she had grown up in the Demon Sect and had never felt the warmth of family. In order to survive and become stronger, she could only constantly work hard and kill to stand at the peak.
However, now, for the first time in her life, she felt the warmth of this world.
Lu Xiaoran nodded in satisfaction.
Although he was acting, he still secretly felt somewhat annoyed that he had given Ling Xinyue something.
He could only let the other party call him father to comfort the imbalance in his heart.
Ling Xinyue chose a Saint Weapon sword and a Saint Weapon Armor. Then, she reluctantly retracted her gaze.
She really wanted to take all of them. With so many good things to arm her subordinates, she would definitely be able to fight the disciples of the Ancient Ape Tribe.
How could Lu Xiaoran not tell what she was thinking?
In fact, these things were originally prepared for her to deal with the Ancient Ape Tribe.
However, he could not say it so bluntly. If he did, it would not be an act. Ling Xinyue was not stupid and would definitely discover that something was wrong.
Moreover, Lu Xiaoran would never give things away to others for free. He was naturally unwilling to give these away as well.
Lu Xiaoran thought of a plan.
He just happened to be lacking spirit stones to set up the array formation. The Demon Sect definitely had a lot of spirit stones. If he exchanged for the spirit stones of the Demon Sect, he would not lose at all and might even profit a little.
It could also increase the combat strength of the Demon Sect and allow them to resist the Ancient Ape Tribe. It was perfect.
Thinking of this, he continued, "By the way, daughter, it's been a long time since I left the mountain. I've already been in seclusion for decades and don't have many friends at the foot of the mountain. You're experienced and knowledgeable with the situation at the foot of the mountain, so you must have many acquaintances, right? Can you help me sell these weapons and armor?"
Ling Xinyue's eyes lit up.
"You wish to sell these weapons and armor?"
"Of course. It's not like I can eat it. What's the point of keeping them? Isn't it a waste if I just keep it here?"
"Then… how about selling it to my friend?"
Ling Xinyue almost wanted to ask the other party to sell to herself. Fortunately, her thoughts were quick, allowing her to react instantly and not expose her lie.
Lu Xiaoran said doubtfully, "Aren't you a disciple of a small sect? Can your friend afford such good weapons?"
"Uh…"
Ling Xinyue was stunned. She was surprised to find out that her newfound father was not gullible at all.
"Cough cough, it's like this. My friend actually runs an auction. It's the kind of auction that has multiple branches in the entire Great Zhou. The customer base is very broad. I can give it to him in bulk and then let him sell it."
"That's a good idea, but the price…"
Lu Xiaoran looked at Ling Xinyue with a faint smile, as if he was looking at a milk cow with a lot of milk!

Chapter 171: Senior Brother and I Have an Agreement
"Dad, don't worry. Since this friend of mine can open an auction house in the Great Zhou, the price definitely won't be low. Now, the market price of top-grade Heaven Realm weapons is around 800,000 high-grade spirit stones, and the protective equipment is around 500,000 high-grade spirit stones. As for Saint Realm weapons, the starting price is also above 2 million."
I'll keep the prices of your items in mind and bring you the spirit stones when the time comes. "
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
"That's right. In that case, take them."
"Thank you, Father."
You Lan looked at the grand Demon Venerable, the Demon King who caused the entire Great Zhou to tremble, and the way she kept referring to the other party as father. She was simply dazed.
Was this still the Demon Venerable she knew?
Where was the arrogance of the Demon Venerable? Where was the strength and domineeringness of the Demon Venerable?
Ignoring her thoughts, Ling Xinyue immediately took out a storage bag and took away all the weapons and armor.
Then, he took the token Lu Xiaoran gave him that would give her immunity to the array formation and quickly left the mountain with his subordinate, You Lan.
Lu Xiaoran was not afraid that she would not pay.
Firstly, Lu Xiaoran did not fancy these things to begin with. Now that he was not at the Martial Monarch Realm, Lu Xiaoran did not care about these things at all.
Secondly, everyone was greedy. The strength he had displayed was so powerful. Unless Ling Xinyue was crazy, she would definitely not leave him.
After all, wasn't this Void Shattering Hammer alluring?
Moreover, weren't these Martial Monarch Realm cultivation techniques attractive?
As long as Ling Xinyue wanted these things, she would return. Lu Xiaoran could also use these things as bait to seduce her.
He would reveal his treasure but not give it to her. It was as if he was fishing and messing with her. She would be able to see it but not touch it, making her yearn for it even more.
Then, she would obediently attack Fang Aotian.
…
On the other side, in a small city 5,000 kilometers away from the Great Zhou Imperial City, two unfamiliar guests were welcomed. They were both dressed in long robes and bamboo hats. They were Yun Lige and Ji Wuxia.
"Is this the small city where the Lin family lives?"
"That's right."
Ji Wuxia looked down, her eyes revealing a complicated expression.
She had once lived here and had been humiliated. She had been forced to become the fiancée of a person she did not like.
It was even to the extent that even if there was a mastermind behind this, the other party was still Lin Fei's mother.
She was like a puppet that was at the mercy of others in this place. She was small and helpless.
However, it did not matter because this place was about to be destroyed.
The Lin family had to die, and this small city had to be destroyed.
A hot shot had already appeared in the Lin family. The strength of a hot shot was shocking. If another hot shot was born, they could directly wash their necks and wait to be wiped out.
It was even to the extent that even the Great Zhou might be implicated.
"Eldest Senior Brother, let's begin. My soul can sense that Master is already summoning us."
"Alright! I'll use the Martial Monarch Realm weapon to directly blast this city into the sky and try my best to not let anyone escape from below. You guard the outside. If anyone really manages to escape, you can also kill them to guarantee no one escapes."
"Understood."
Ji Wuxia immediately retreated to the side to let Yun Lige use his Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
Yun Lige looked down and took a deep breath. With a thought, he summoned his Martial Monarch Realm armor and the Primordial Chaos Battle God Spear.
With his current strength, he was still not able to fully unleash the strength of the Martial Monarch Realm weapon. This was because the speed at which he absorbed the spirit energy and the speed at which he injected spirit energy into the Primordial Chaos Battle God Spear were both insufficient.
Fortunately, his master had given him a Martial Monarch Realm armor.
After obtaining the Martial Monarch Realm armor, not only could it increase his defensive ability, but it could also greatly increase his absorption speed of spirit energy.
In this way, he could pour enough energy into the Primordial Chaos Battle God Spear.
The Primordial Chaos Emperor Scripture circulated. Yun Lige poured energy into the Martial Monarch Realm weapon crazily. The might of the Martial Monarch Realm weapon that made the world tremble made the clouds in the sky begin to spread in all directions.
The spear began to emit a faint golden light, as if it had formed another small sun.
When Ji Wuxia saw this scene, her eyes could not help but reveal an envious expression.
When could her master give her a full set of Martial Monarch Realm weapon and armor?
She was really envious.
Her eldest senior brother's current cultivation was only at the fifth level of the Void Reversion Realm. However, when he used the Martial Monarch Realm weapon, the strength he unleashed even surpassed the entire Creation Realm. Even those at the Shattering Void Realm might not dare to easily touch him.
This was the strength of a Martial Monarch Realm weapon. It was not difficult for Yun Lige to surpass two realm levels in a row.
Of course, as Yun Lige's cultivation increased, the number of levels he could surpass would also decrease. In the future, when he really reached the Shattering Void Realm, he might only be able to fight someone at the Essence Realm.
However, at the very least, he was only at the fifth level of the Void Reversion Realm now. For him to release a Shattering Void Realm attack, how satisfying was that?
At this moment, the cultivators in the small city also vaguely discovered the abnormality in the sky.
After all, the Primordial Chaos Battle God Spear was too dazzling. In the sky, it was like another small sun.
"What's that?"
"Why are there two small suns in the sky?"
"That's right. Why are there two small suns?"
Just as everyone stopped to look, the Primordial Chaos Battle God Spear in the sky suddenly fell and tore through the sky in an unstoppable manner.
At this moment, only this dazzling golden light was left in the world!
It was like a sharp sword in the sky as it slashed down, directly landing on the small city below.
By the time everyone reacted, it was already too late.
The sword beam struck the ground fiercely. In an instant, the light swallowed everything and quickly spread. The shock wave also quickly swept in all directions at a 360-degree angle.
Because the speed was too fast, the moment the shock wave came into contact with the buildings, the buildings were directly shattered. Then, it quickly rubbed against the buildings, and the intense heat burned everything into molecular-level dust.
Boom!
The entire ground trembled violently. From afar, the entire small city was already enveloped in light. This move had directly destroyed a small city.
A moment later, the air outside the small city distorted, and two cultivators suddenly appeared. They gasped and began to gasp violently.
"Heavens, which big shot just destroyed the entire city with a single move? It's too terrifying."
"Fortunately, the two of us used the Blood Ignition Art to perform a short distance spatial jump. Otherwise, we would definitely be ascending to the heavens now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them suddenly felt a huge pressure attack from above.
"Not good!"
The two of their expressions changed drastically. They were about to use the Blood Burning Art to escape again, but it was already too late.
With a phoenix cry, the two of them immediately turned to dust, not leaving a single speck.
Hah!
Letting out a shaky breath, Ji Wuxia slowly put away her Saint Weapon and rushed towards the small city.
When she arrived, Yun Lige was looking at a huge rock on the ground.
There was a huge 'Lin' word engraved on this rock. It looked like an ordinary rock, but under the intense explosion just now, the entire city had been turned to ashes. This rock was still intact.
"Junior Sister, come and take a look. What's going on with this rock? It seems to be something from the Lin family."
Ji Wuxia swept her gaze over and could not help but be somewhat surprised.
"This rock is used by the Lin family to test the talent of their disciples. As long as it's someone from the Lin family, they can use this rock to test their talent. If the other party is not from the Lin family, it wouldn't work. I didn't expect this stone to be quite powerful. It's actually able to resist the attack of a Martial Monarch Realm weapon."
Yun Lige circled the rock and took a deep breath. He took out his Martial Monarch Realm weapon and pierced it at a close range.
He did not expect to be able to easily pierce through the rock and crack it.
"This rock is so strange. It's immune to spirit energy attacks, but it can easily shatter when facing a weapon that doesn't use spirit energy. Looks like the material is special."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his wrist and the Primordial Chaos Battle God Spear immediately shattered the huge rock.
Clang!
The moment he shattered the rock, a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket suddenly fell from the sky and struck the rock on the ground.
Immediately after, the rock fragment turned into dark red blood water and rose into the sky.
Yun Lige :"…"
Ji Wuxia :"…"
The two of them were silent for a while before Ji Wuxia said, "That should be a message transmission, right? Moreover, from the looks of it, it seems to be from sending a message to another world, the Divine World!"
As soon as he finished speaking, with a plop, Yun Lige knelt in front of Ji Wuxia, his eyes misty.
"Junior Sister, save me. If Master finds out about this, he'll definitely kill me. Wuwuwu…"
What Lu Xiaoran hated the most was to let the enemy escape, leaking information.
Every time he killed an enemy, he would be prepared and definitely not allow anyone to find out.
Even if everyone that knew were all dead, they would not know that it was Lu Xiaoran who did it.
However, Yun Lige had let something unknown escape.
What was even more terrifying was that this thing still led directly to the Divine World.
If he attracted a powerful enemy from the Divine World, it would definitely be unimaginable.
If his master learned of this, he would probably lose his life.
Ji Wuxia was silent for a moment.
"That's not good, right? You've made such a huge mistake. If I don't tell Master, if Master finds out, I'm afraid even I won't be able to escape responsibility, right?"
"Then… can you at least tell Master when he's happy? In that case, I would at least have a chance to live."
Ji Wuxia shook her head.
"No, what if Master takes his anger out on me?"
"If I don't tell Master that you know, it will be fine. I'll tell him that I'm the only one who knows. If you don't know, this has nothing to do with you."
"That won't do either. After all, Master is the person I respect the most. I can't hide this from Master."
"I'll let you play with my spear."

"For how long?"
"As long as you want. As long as you want to, you can play with it anytime."
"You said so yourself. You bribed me. I didn't ask for this."
"Don't worry, I know how it works."
"Hey, although we're fellow disciples, it's not enough for us to only have a verbal agreement. I'll write a guarantee and you can sign it."
"No problem."
Ji Wuxia quickly took out a small notebook from her storage bag and quickly wrote a guarantee. Yun Lige did not even take a look and directly signed it.
Ji Wuxia smiled and retracted the guarantee letter. Then, she curled her finger. Yun Lige's face was filled with pain. In the end, he still reluctantly handed over the Primordial Chaos Battle God Spear.
"Junior Sister, you have to keep your promise."
"Of course. If Master wants to kill you, I'll definitely help dissuade him."
Yun Lige: "???"
"Junior Sister, what do you mean? Are you going to tell Master?"
"Of course. With such a huge mistake, we definitely have to tell Master immediately. If anything goes wrong, we'll all be wiped out."
"But I just signed the guarantee."
"You did sign a guarantee letter, but the letter only stated that I need to help you get a lenient punishment. I don't have to help you hide it."
"Damn, if that's the case, I might as well go back and confess to Master myself. Junior Sister, does Master know that you're so scheming?"
"Master might not know, but you can find out."
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Half an hour later…
"Junior Sister, stop hitting me. It hurts… hurts…"
Ji Wuxia rode on Yun Lige and tugged at his ear.
"Do you still want to force me to hide it?"
Yun Lige's eyes were filled with tears as he shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no."
"That's right. In the end, you're the one who made a huge mistake. If you still want to hide it, you'll be making more mistakes!"
"As the saying went, honesty begets mercy, and resistance begets severity.
"As for Master, don't worry. I'll definitely help you very tactfully. At most, I'll let Master beat you half to death and definitely not beat you to death. Is that alright?"
What else could Yun Lige say? He could only nod and agree with tears in his eyes.
Only then did Ji Wuxia let go of him and help him rub his ears as if she was coaxing a child.
"Then let's go. We should go and find Master. Don't make Master wait."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Wuxia stepped on the wind and left.
Looking at Ji Wuxia's back, Yun Lige crawled up from the ground, clenched his fists, and his eyes turned red.
"I have to cultivate diligently. I have to rise up! I have to set a small goal first. In three years, I'll surpass my junior sister and reconstruct my dignity as the Eldest Senior Brother of Zhishui Peak!"
…
On the other side, near the Ancient Ape Tribe, in the Demon Sect's main camp, You Lan walked into the central army tent with a document.
"Demon Venerable, I've already investigated. This woman is the daughter of a female elder from a sect called Little Cloud Sect and an itinerant cultivator living in the Heaven Cloud Mountain. After Little Cloud Sect was destroyed, she went to the Heaven Cloud Mountain to find that senior. That senior's surname is Lu and his name is Lu Dashan."
"Where is she now?"
"I don't know for the time being."
Ling Xinyue's expression suddenly turned cold.
"Relay my orders. All the disciples of the holy sect have to mobilize. We have to find that woman. When you find her, kill her without mercy. Burn her bones and scatter her ashes. Don't leave her soul behind."
"Yes."
You Lan replied and heaved a long sigh in her heart. This was the Demon Venerable of the holy Demon Sect she knew.
She was decisive and never delayed.
Previously, the obedient girl who called Lu Xiaoran father simply made her wonder if she had followed a fake Demon Venerable.
"In addition, distribute all the Saint Weapons, Heaven Realm weapons, and armors. Split them according to strength and distribute them starting with the highest rank. Let all the experts of the holy Demon Sect arm themselves. This time, I want to see how the Ancient Ape Tribe intends to keep their arrogance."
"Understood."
"I'm going to use the holy my fath… the pill Senior bestowed to me to treat my injuries. Go out. If there's nothing else, don't disturb me casually."
Ling Xinyue almost called out "father" again. She was almost used to it. Fortunately, she stopped in time. Otherwise, Lu Xiaoran would have benefited again.
You Lan, on the other hand, felt somewhat strange. However, she did not know what was strange. She could only nod and then retreat from the central army tent.
"Did the Demon Venerable almost call that guy 'father' again just now?"
After a while, she shook her head.
"No, Demon Venerable was only acting. Without that senior around, she definitely wouldn't want to call that guy 'father'."
"After all, she's our holy Demon Sect's Demon Venerable!"
In the big tent, Ling Xinyue caressed the small porcelain bottle that contained the medicinal pills in her palm, her eyes revealing the gentleness of a young girl.
"How good would it be if you were really my father?"
No matter how powerful a woman was, she was still a woman. No one knew how heavy the burden on such a huge sect was.
In everyone's understanding, she was an existence who killed without batting an eye, was ruthless, and had a heaven-defying cultivation.
No one ever considered the fact that hidden under the huge halo of the Demon Sect's Demon Venerable, she was actually also a woman.
She would also have a soft side. She also needed someone to care for her.
After taking a deep breath, Ling Xinyue quickly calmed her mind, swallowed a few medicinal pills, and began to treat her injuries.
At this moment, she did not have the leisure to think about kinship. What she needed now was to treat her injuries.
…
Time flashed and several days passed in the blink of an eye. Countless matters in the entire Great Zhou were in chaos and were being carried out in an orderly manner.
A few white flowers were tied to the beam of the Ancient Ape Tribe's ancestral hall, making it look sinister and tragic.
Two new spirit tablets appeared in the ancestral hall.
On the left side, the words "Lover Zi Yun" were written. On the right side, the words "Lover Qing Yu" were written.
A mighty figure stood proudly in the middle of the ancestral hall with his hands behind his back. His expression was cold and gloomy, and his scarlet eyes revealed dense killing intent that seemed to be material.
Behind him stood a woman in a green dress, looking at him affectionately and worriedly.
"Brother Aotian, don't be too sad. The dead can't be revived. We still have many things to do."
He stared at the two spirit tablets and slowly closed his eyes, his knuckles cracking.
"First, it was Zi Yun. Then, it was Qing Yu. Two loved ones in a row died because of the Demon Sect. If I don't take revenge, I won't be human anymore!"
The woman in the green dress walked forward leisurely and leaned her small head on Fang Aotian's broad and firm chest.
"Lu Yi will definitely accompany Brother Aotian to avenge my two sisters."
Fang Aotian lowered his head to look at Lu Yi's little head. He caressed her beautiful hair and said with a hint of guilt,
"I'm sorry, Lu Yi. You've always been with me and have silently contributed to me for so many years. However, I can't give you all of my love."
Lu Yi shook his head and smiled sweetly.
"I don't want all of your love. I just want to stay with Brother Aotian. As long as I can admire Brother Aotian from a distance every day, I'll be satisfied."
Fang Aotian was extremely touched and said gently,
"Don't worry. No matter how many women I have, my love for every woman is equal. My love that belongs to you will never decrease."
Lu Yi nodded, her face beaming with happiness.
"I know. Brother Aotian is the best. I'll always be in your heart."
That gentle and pleasant appearance made Fang Aotian furious as he developed an inexplicable urge.
However, just as he was thinking, another hot figure in purple clothes strode into the ancestral hall with a solemn expression.
"Aotian, the situation at the front line is very bad. Another team of ours was destroyed by the Demon Sect. A disciple was lucky to escape. He said that the experts from the Demon Sect seem to also be equipped with many Heaven Realm weapons and Saint Realm weapons. I wonder where they got them."
As soon as he said this, Fang Aotian was immediately furious. His killing intent spread even more, making the two girls unable to help but tremble slightly, their hair standing on end.
"Looks like the Demon Sect should have taken out their wealth. After all, it's a sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. It's impossible for them to not have any savings. However, so what? Competing in weapons with me? Even ten Demon Sects combined won't be enough to carry my shoes."
"With my Aotian around, the Demon Sect will definitely be destroyed! "
Hearing these domineering words, the two girls could not help but be intoxicated. They looked at Fang Aotian with infatuation and admiration.
Their identities were all different. Some were noble, some were mediocre, and some were even cultivation geniuses. Their appearance and figure were even heaven-defying, and they could be considered standard beauties.
They also did not lack suitors. However, for some reason, in their eyes, it seemed that other than Fang Aotian, all the other men were somewhat boring.
"Then what should we do now?"
"Send those sects out. Do they think that I'm giving them benefits for no reason? They took so much of my equipment. How can they not work hard? Let them fight the Demon Sect to stall time for the Ancient Ape Tribe. I want to strengthen the Ancient Ape Tribe again and let the Demon Sect know how powerful I am!"
"Alright! I'll go and issue the order now."
After the purple-clothed woman left, Fang Aotian also pinched the flesh of Lu Yi fiercely, making Lu Yi moan. Her beautiful face was red and it was as if she had turned into a soft water snake.
"Brother Aotian ~"
Fang Aotian almost lost control of himself. However, he still knew his limits. After taking a deep breath, he patted her little butt, causing a ripple.
"Good, not today. Get out first. I'm going to start working on serious matters. After I resolve the Demon Sect, I guarantee that I'll feed you well."
Lu Yi nodded shyly and left the ancestral hall very obediently.
At this moment, Fang Aotian also took a deep breath and made a strange gesture. In the next moment, an Ancient Bronze Hall immediately appeared in front of him.
Without any hesitation, he directly flew in.
If Lu Xiaoran were here, he would definitely sigh. This thing was somewhat comparable to the Mountain and River State Painting. They were both spatial-type Dharma treasures.

Chapter 173: Actually, I Have a Secret Hidden For Many Years
Fang Aotian entered the Ancient Bronze Hall and looked at the mountain of weapons, medicinal pills, materials, and cultivation techniques in the hall. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes revealed endless confidence.
Back then, he had been thrown off the cliff by the people of the Ancient Ape Tribe. However, he had never expected to benefit from a disaster and obtain this Ancient Bronze Hall.
This Ancient Bronze Hall was the treasure vault of an ancient sect. It was a Martial Monarch Realm spatial-type Dharma treasure.
Moreover, it contained countless treasures.
After obtaining the inheritance of the Ancient Bronze Hall's Weapon Soul, he had the rights to use all the treasures here.
Relying on the treasures here, Fang Aotian's strength soared all the way. In the end, he returned to the Ancient Ape Tribe and successfully killed his brother to take back the Ancient Ape Tribe and become the new chief.
The current him not only had a high cultivation and many subordinates, but he also had a group of beauties who were willing to do anything for him.
It could be said that the Ancient Bronze Hall had given him everything.
As long as this Ancient Bronze Hall was around, Fang Aotian felt that no one in this world would be his match.
One day, he would become the strongest expert in this world, invincible.
"Weapon Soul, prepare 20 Saint Weapons, 50 Heaven Realm weapons, 1,000 Heaven Realm medicinal pills, and 50 low-grade Saint Realm medicinal pills for me."
The void fluctuated. A moment later, a dark green shadow appeared and bowed to Fang Aotian.
"Yes, Master."
The corner of Fang Aotian's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes revealing a smug expression.
"Demon Sect, just you wait. I, Fang Aotian, will let you know that those who provoke me will live a life worse than death!"
…
In the Demon Sect's central command tent, Ling Xinyue finally slowly opened her eyes after recuperating for a few days.
Her eyes, which had been somewhat dim from her injuries a few days ago, had already recovered their brightness at this moment. In fact, there were even traces of lightning flickering in them.
Clenching her fists and sensing the surging strength in her body, the corner of her mouth curled up.
"Not bad. My cultivation has already recovered a lot. Although I haven't completely recovered to my peak strength, I've already recovered 90% and can already unleash the cultivation of the tenth level of the Emperor Realm."
"You Lan."
After sending out his thoughts, the next moment, You Lan's figure instantly moved to the huge tent and knelt on the ground.
"Greetings, Demon Venerable."
"How is the battle these past few days?"
"Demon Venerable, the situation of the battle is very good. After the equipment change, the combat strength of the originally retreating holy Demon Sect disciples has increased by countless levels. On the first day after the equipment change, Elder Black Fiend even killed Fang Aotian's woman and shattered her soul. He did not even leave a trace of her soul for Fang Aotian."
"I heard that in the past two days, Fang Aotian has already begun to send the various subsidiary sects to battle. I reckon that many of the Ancient Ape Tribe's disciples have been killed by us in the past two days."
"Alright!"
Ling Xinyue's eyes flashed with joy.
After being suppressed by the Ancient Ape Tribe for so many days, she could finally hold her head high and vent her previous displeasure.
"Relay my orders and launch a full-scale counterattack. We have to seize the opportunity to destroy the Ancient Ape Tribe's underlings in one go."
"Yes!"
"After doing all of this, prepare to go to the Heaven Cloud Mountain with me."
"What for?"
You Lan was somewhat surprised.
Ling Xinyue swept her gaze coldly.
"Why? Since when do I need you to question my orders?"
Hearing this, You Lan's heart trembled and she immediately lowered her head.
"I… I'm guilty."
With a light snort, Ling Xinyue continued,
"I'll forgive you for now. In the future, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being heartless."
"Understood."
"There are still 20 million top-grade spirit stones in the Demon Sect's treasure vault. Take them all."
"Yes."
After issuing the order, You Lan quickly prepared and headed to the Heaven Cloud Mountain with Ling Xinyue.
At this moment, at the foot of Heaven Cloud Mountain, a young female itinerant cultivator in tattered clothes was standing there.
"Dad, it's Xiaoyu. Dad, come out and meet me."
Hearing this commotion, Lu Xiaoran instantly teleported into the array formation. With just a glance, Lu Xiaoran recognized the other party as Lu Dashan's daughter.
Her flat face and bull-like eyes were simply the same as her father's. She only lacked his beard.
The other party's eyes could not help but light up when he saw Lu Xiaoran.
Lu Xiaoran was very handsome. Not to mention, his cultivation seemed to be very high and his speed was so fast that even she could not see him arrive.
Most importantly, his body faintly emitted some light. He definitely had very good Dharma treasures.
If she were to be with him, she would definitely be able to live peacefully in this chaotic world.
"Dad, I've finally found you."
Lu Xiaoyu shouted and was about to rush over. Lu Xiaoran raised his hand and blocked her not far away.
"Stop, what are you saying? Are you even my daughter? Can't you see that I don't look like you at all?"
"Dad! What are you saying? I'm your daughter. Do you dislike me and don't want to acknowledge me?"
"Stop, I'm not your father. You're at least 40 to 50 years old. You're even older than my mother. Your father went to the Ancient Ape Tribe. Go there and find him."
Actually, when she saw Lu Xiaoran, Lu Xiaoyu could tell that Lu Xiaoran was not her father. She was so ugly, so how could she have such a young and handsome father? Naturally, it was impossible!
However, when she heard Lu Xiaoran say that he was not her father, Lu Xiaoyu became even more excited.
If he could not be my father, wouldn't it be better for him to be the father of my child?
Lu Xiaoran was handsome, had treasures, and was also powerful. It was difficult to find a man like him.
Therefore, she forcefully shouted,
"I don't care. In any case, you're my father and I'm your daughter. You're the only family I have now. If you don't care about me, I can only go and find my mother."
"Then I'll give you a ride."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xiaoran directly slapped his palm before the other party could react.
Boom!
The weak Lu Xiaoyu was directly slapped into ashes by Lu Xiaoran.
Lu Xiaoran was not stupid. He could naturally tell what Lu Xiaoyu was planning.
If it were an ordinary person, Lu Xiaoran would not have killed her. However, after telling her Lu Dashan's whereabouts, she still wanted to pester him endlessly, take advantage of him, and have designs on him. He could not tolerate this.
After dealing with Lu Xiaoyu, two auras quickly approached from afar.
It was none other than Ling Xinyue and You Lan.
After the two of them arrived, their hearts immediately raced when they saw Lu Xiaoran.
"Dad, why are you at the foot of the mountain? Are you meeting someone?"
"No, a small thief was already slapped to death by me just now."
"Oh, that's good."
Ling Xinyue heaved a sigh of relief. What she was most afraid of now was for Lu Xiaoran to see Lu Xiaoyu.
If her identity was exposed and Lu Xiaoran became furious, she would probably be directly slapped into pieces before she could even fight Fang Aotian.
"You've also been out for a few days. Did you sell those weapons?"
Ling Xinyue smiled and said, "They're all sold out. A total of 20 million top-grade spirit stones."
Lu Xiaoran's eyes lit up. 20 million top-grade spirit stones was equivalent to 2 billion high-grade spirit stones.
Indeed, not only did he not lose out, but he had also profited a little.
However, he pretended to be puzzled. "So it turns out that you sold them for 20 million top-grade spirit stones. Not bad. However, speaking of which, you're only a young lady. After selling so many things and obtaining so many spirit stones, why didn't anyone rob you?"
He still had to ask these questions deliberately. Otherwise, Ling Xinyue would definitely sense something.
Ling Xinyue had clearly long expected Lu Xiaoran to be suspicious, so she had long thought of a countermeasure.
Hearing him ask, she immediately replied, "Uh… Actually, my cultivation level is not bad. Moreover, I have made many friends outside for so many years. There are also many cultivators who like me and want to pursue me. Therefore, generally speaking, few people in this area dare to touch me."
"Moreover, that auction house is a proper auction house of the Great Zhou Empire. They definitely wouldn't dare to do anything."
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
"I see. Looks like you've been doing well outside these years. However, you can't be arrogant. You have to know that in this world, there's always someone better. It's still very dangerous if you encounter an expert."
Ling Xinyue nodded very obediently.
"Dad is right. I'll definitely remember it in my heart. Here are 20 million top-grade spirit stones. Please take a look, Dad."
Lu Xiaoran directly took back the spirit stones and said indifferently,
"It's fine. You're my daughter. Do I need to doubt you? Let's go up the mountain."
With that said, he immediately flew up the mountain.
You Lan was dumbfounded. Was this the Demon Venerable she knew?
She kept calling him "dad". If one did not know better, they might really think that Ling Xinyue was Lu Xiaoran's daughter.
Ling Xinyue patted her chest, causing it to sway left and right.
"You Lan, how was my performance just now? Did I expose myself?"
You Lan gave her a thumbs up.
"We definitely won't be exposed. Demon Venerable's performance just now was really superb. There aren't many people in the world who can do this. I feel that not to mention this Senior Lu, even if the other party was a god, he would probably think that you're his daughter. He definitely won't be able to tell that you're acting."
The corner of Ling Xinyue's mouth curled up.
This was enough.
As long as she acted well and made Lu Xiaoran believe that she was his daughter, she could come here every day.
She had a feeling that the father the heavens had given her was very likely to be a huge opportunity for her.
At this moment, You Lan could not help but whisper,
"However, Demon Venerable, isn't it a little degrading. After all, your status is so honorable and he's not your true father. You're letting him take advantage of you."
Ling Xinyue shook her head.
"That's not necessarily true. Actually, speaking of which, I have a secret that I've hidden for many years. It's not known to outsiders."

You Lan: "???"
Seeing that You Lan was somewhat puzzled, Ling Xinyue continued,
"Actually, I'm an orphan. After being adopted by the previous Demon Venerable, I changed my surname to his surname. Previously, my surname was not Ling. My surname was actually Lu."
You Lan :"…"
Ling Xinyue raised her slender jade-like hand and tidied the hair by her ear. Her originally cold hairstyle now made her look like an obedient little girl.
"Moreover… the moment I saw Senior Lu, I felt that I was very familiar with him. I must have seen him before."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Xinyue walked up the mountain.
You Lan was petrified on the spot.
She did not know if the Demon Venerable was finding an excuse for herself. However, she knew that the Demon Venerable… was really lacking in love.
After the two of them arrived at the mountain, Ling Xinyue cleaned up the trash in the house very obediently. Lu Xiaoran sat on a recliner in the courtyard and basked in the sun.
After cleaning up the trash, Ling Xinyue could not help but whisper,"Dad, your cultivation seems to be very powerful already. Why are you hiding in this mountain stream? Why don't you go out and make a reputation for yourself?"
Lu Xiaoran glanced at her.
"Do you think I've never done something like that?"
Hiss!
Ling Xinyue could not help but exclaim.
"What dynasty did Dad establish?"
"What's a dynasty? The world is so big. One needs to at least establish an empire!"
Ling Xinyue and You Lan immediately trembled.
The Senior Lu in front of him had actually established an empire?
Lu Xiaoran was lying anyway. Why would he need to limit himself if he was making up lies?
"Sigh, it's all in the past. There's no need to mention it."
However, Ling Xinyue clearly did not want to let go of this world-shaking gossip.
"Dad, since you've established an empire before, why are you hiding in this wilderness now?"
Lu Xiaoran shook his head and revealed a helpless expression.
"You're still young, so you don't understand. In this world, there are some people whose luck is too huge. Their cultivation might be very weak, their talent might be trash, and they will be mocked all day long. However, they still have a lot of luck! No matter how powerful your cultivation or background is, as long as you encounter such a person, I'll tell you. It's all for nothing."
Ling Xinyue's heart pounded crazily.
"There's actually such a person in this world?"
"That's right. That's why I say that it's better to be safe than sorry. My glory has already passed. Now, all I have to do is cultivate steadily and wait for the opportunity to break through to that level. As for the other benefits, wealth, and power, they're all fleeting. I've long seen through them."
"Then… I wonder which empire Dad created?"
Lu Xiaoran took a deep breath and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
"It's all in the past. Why talk about it?"
"I just want to look up to Father. I want to reminisce your glory."
"Forget it. The empire has long fallen. You probably won't be able to find it either."
"Then… doesn't Father have a grand title?"
"Yes… In the past, people liked to call me… Heavenly Thearch Soul!"
Boom!
At this moment, be it You Lan or Ling Xinyue, they both seemed to have been struck by lightning.
Although they had vaguely guessed something when Lu Xiaoran said that he had established an empire just now, when they really confirmed that Lu Xiaoran was a Martial Monarch Realm expert, they still could not help but be shocked.
A Martial Monarch Realm expert!!
That was a legendary existence, the strongest in this world!
Since ancient times, countless people had worked tirelessly just to become the top existence in millions of miles. They wanted to become a Martial Monarch Realm expert and look down on the world.
However, at this moment, a Martial Monarch Realm expert was lying in front of them!
You Lan could not help but whisper,
"Senior Lu, may I ask how many lovers have you had in your life? Do you have a lover called Liu Cuifang?"
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
Ling Xinyue immediately glared fiercely at You Lan.
Then, she said, "Father, ignore her. I have something to ask you. Do you have any thoughts on the battle between the Demon Sect and the Ancient Ape Tribe? Who will win?"
"Needless to say, of course it's the Ancient Ape Tribe."
Ling Xinyue: "???"
You Lan could not help but be puzzled.
"But I heard that the Demon Sect seems to have gained a lot of advantages in the past few days at the foot of the mountain?"
"That's only temporary. I'll tell you the truth. After experiencing so many things, I've long concluded a rule.
"Those with the surname Xiao, Ye, Chu, Lin, Fang, Su, Lu, Li, Chen… or those with the name Aotian, Liangchen, and Ritian are basically not to be trifled with. They usually have great luck.
"For example, this Ancient Ape Tribe's chief seems to be called Fang Aotian, right? "
Ling Xinyue nodded.
"Are there a lot of beautiful women around him? Are they all powerful girls but are still willing to share the same husband?"
Ling Xinyue and You Lan looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Lu Xiaoran was actually not wrong at all.
"Other than that, does he have a huge pile of treasures? Does it seem like he has an endless treasure vault?"
Ling Xinyue and Lu Xiaoran's hearts pounded even more violently.
"Also, is he very arrogant and doesn't have much strength? However, for some reason, he's still invincible?"
Hearing this, Ling Xinyue's face had already turned completely pale.
That's right, her father was right.
Back then, she had chosen to kill her way into the Ancient Ape Tribe personally in order to completely kill Fang Aotian with her strength at the first level of the Supreme Realm. However, she did not expect Fang Aotian to detonate a Martial Monarch Realm weapon and severely injure her.
If not for Lu Xiaoran's medicinal pill, her injuries would probably not have recovered much.
"Dad actually knows this kind of person like the back of his hand. Could it be that Dad has encountered this before?"
Lu Xiaoran nodded with a solemn expression.
"Have you ever heard of the saying 'every dog has its day, don't bully the poor'?"
Ling Xinyue shook her head.
She had already been sealed for a thousand years and naturally did not know about the saying Lin Fei coined.
"There was once a youth who said this. In just a few years, he went from a good-for-nothing to the Yan Emperor. I was defeated by him."
Hiss!
Ling Xinyue and You Lan felt their scalps turn numb again, and their souls felt like they were about to explode.
In just a few years, he had gone from a good-for-nothing to an emperor?
Wasn't this too ridiculous? What about those people who had worked hard for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years?
Thinking that Fang Aotian was also such a person, Ling Xinyue's head hurt even more.
After a pause, she could not help but grit her teeth.
"Could it be that there's no way to defeat Fang Aotian?"
Lu Xiaoran glanced at Ling Xinyue and deliberately asked coldly, "Why are you asking so many questions? You're not from the Demon Sect."
Ling Xinyue was stunned before coughing lightly to hide.
"I'm just a little curious. Dad, tell me."
As she spoke, she took the initiative to step forward and massage Lu Xiaoran's shoulders.
Seeing this scene, You Lan's small face could not help but twitch fiercely.
Was this still the Demon Venerable in her memories?
This was clearly Senior Lu's obedient and caring daughter.
"Alright, since I'm your father, I'll explain it to you. In order to deal with this Fang Aotian, you can't rashly resist. You have to be as sinister as possible."
No matter what kind of despicable move it is, just use all your attacks at once. Attack him with the intention to kill. Do not be merciful or waste your breath. Before he is beaten to ashes, you should not be smug because you don't know what other tricks he has up his sleeve.
He might even be saved by someone who had appeared out of nowhere, or he might have some secret technique that could turn the tables in an instant.
Moreover, I don't think the Demon Sect's people should be greedy when dealing with the Ancient Ape Tribe. If the two armies encounter each other, they should run after the fight is done. After all, It won't be too late to deal more damage to the next wave of Ancient Ape Tribe disciples. "
Ling Xinyue :"…"
You Lan :"…"
The two of them were instantly petrified on the spot.
Although they were from the Demon Sect, they were at most bloodthirsty and killing. However, compared to the people from the other sects, they were still a bit casual.
It was even to the extent that they would use some sinister methods, such as using numbers to bully the weak…
However, if they really fought such a war-level battle, the Demon Sect disciples were more inclined to fight to the death. They did not mind self-destructing or dying.
After all, the Demon Sect emphasized on being ruthless. In order to kill the enemy, they would do anything, even sacrificing their lives.
However… why did it feel like… they were still rather righteous compared to Lu Xiaoran's methods?
Lu Xiaoran's methods were simply shameless!
After a while, Ling Xinyue finally woke up from her shock.
"Dad's strategy… is somewhat novel."
"Alright, I have to be busy for a while. If there's anything, settle it yourself. Don't disturb me."
"Yes."
Lu Xiaoran could sense that Yun Lige and the others were not far from him. In another day or two, they would arrive.
He had to set up something in the Mountain and River State Painting in advance to temporarily fuse the Great Dao Reincarnation and slow the spatial flow in the Mountain and River State Painting. In this way, he could obtain more time to help Yun Lige and the others increase their strength.
Outside, You Lan could not help but whisper,
"Demon Venerable, why do I feel that Senior Lu's combat method is a little like a scoundrel fighting?"
Ling Xinyue rubbed her eyebrows and was rather speechless.
"I'm not too sure either. However, since my father is a Martial Monarch Realm expert, he naturally has his reasons."
You Lan was silent for a moment. The Demon Venerable seemed to have completely assimilated with her character now!
"Demon Venerable, what should we do now?"
Ling Xinyue pondered for a moment and immediately said, "Let's fight according to the original method first. In any case, we're at an advantage now. Let's see how the Ancient Ape Tribe reacts first. Perhaps we can successfully destroy the Ancient Ape Tribe."
Although Lu Xiaoran had lectured in such a godly manner, what he said still far exceeded Ling Xinyue's understanding. It was also impossible for her to immediately go against her worldview and do as Lu Xiaoran said.
However!
At this moment, a black light suddenly flew over from the horizon and landed in Ling Xinyue's hand.
Ling Xinyue's pupils immediately constricted.
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.
Report chapter
You Lan was somewhat puzzled.
"Demon Venerable, what's going on?"
Ling Xinyue received the black light, her expression extremely solemn.
"Elder Black Fiend is dead."
"What?! How is this possible?"
You Lan's pupils immediately constricted.
In the holy Demon Sect, there were three top-notch experts under the Demon Venerable. Each of them was an Emperor Realm expert!
Elder Netherworld was one of them, but he had already been killed by Lu Xiaoran.
Now that Elder Black Fiend had also been killed, there was only the last Madam Skeleton left.
This was a huge loss for the Demon Sect.
"Demon Venerable, did Fang Aotian attack personally?"
"No, in the information Elder Black Fiend sent over, he was beaten to death by a mysterious army of the Ancient Ape Tribe."
After a while, Ling Xinyue heaved a sigh of relief, and her eyes revealed a trace of heartfelt admiration.
"I originally thought that my father was only joking. Now, it seems that my father was right. Fang Aotian's methods are really endless. If we fight him head-on like this, the Demon Sect won't have any hope of winning at all. Perhaps, it's time to carry out the strategy my father mentioned."
You Lan was silent for a moment. Why was she becoming more and more used to calling the other party "father"?
In just a few sentences, the word 'father' appeared three times.
It felt as if she had been poisoned, sinking deeper and deeper.
Forget it, let her be. In any case, the day would come when she would wake up from her dream. At the very least, for now, You Lan wanted to let the Demon Venerable have this beautiful dream!
Soon, the two of them took advantage of Lu Xiaoran's seclusion and quietly left the Heaven Cloud Mountain.
All of this naturally did not escape Lu Xiaoran's eyes.
In fact, if not for his tacit approval, the black light message from the Demon Sect would not have been transmitted here.
"This Fang Aotian's methods are really endless. Looks like as a mutated Long Aotian, he will be hard to defeat. After falling off a cliff, other hot shots would only pick up a cultivation technique, some medicinal pills, and weapons. And yet, this guy probably picked up a treasure vault. After all, he's able to create so many experts!"
After a pause, he pondered again and said,
"Fortunately, the Demon Sect helped me resist this time. It delayed Fang Aotian and restrained him, preventing him from cultivating for a short period of time. Otherwise, if he was given a little more time, I'm afraid I would really have to help him carry his shoes. It's also thanks to the Demon Sect that I was able to figure out Fang Aotian's trump card."
Lu Xiaoran especially missed the Acacia Faction now. As long as he spent a few spirit stones, he would be able to buy the information he wanted. With the other party's information, he could deduce the types and approximate strength of the hackers and think of a way to execute his battle plan.
However, speaking of which, Lin Fei was already dead for so many days. Why was Lin Fei's mother still not here?
Could something have happened? Could it be that his mother was already dead?!
That shouldn't be the case, right?
After all, his mother was such a scheming person. Her mother would probably never get schemed by others, right?
Lu Xiaoran was still very afraid of that Fairy Hongyu. He was even more afraid of her than he was of these hot shots!
Firstly, it was very likely that Fairy Hongyu was a transmigrator like him.
Secondly, Fairy Hongyu was much more terrifying than him. He had only cultivated ignobly and developed steadily. However, she was much more impressive. She directly began to create hot shots and even gave birth to them herself.
Lu Xiaoran believed that he could not have come up with such a strategy.
At the very least, he did not have the courage to have a child himself.
Lin Fei's mother was simply a ruthless person!
Lu Xiaoran even thought of a question. Could that woman have made second-hand preparations? Did she give birth to more than one Lin Fei?
He still remembered that there seemed to be a method called the sow stream. It allowed one to give birth to 100 million babies at a time. One could even choose a the babies' sex. They could make it so that half of them were sons and the other half were daughters.
However, that shouldn't be the case. After all, if she had the ability, she wouldn't have needed to create a hot shot. She could give birth every year and have hundreds or even thousands of billions of babies.
Even if each of them only cultivated to the Spirit Realm. A Martial Monarch Realm would probably not be able to resist the explosion of 20 billion Spirit Realm cultivators.
He was thinking too far ahead. He decided to focus on Fang Aotian first.
"Coming, coming, Master, I'm here."
"Strengthen the Soul Guidance effect and speed up the attraction of Yun Lige and the others. Get them to quickly get here and cultivate. Other people's cultivation is already so powerful, but they're still wasting time."
"Understood. The Soul Guidance effect is increasing. It's doubling, tripling… insufficient strength, Soul Guidance effect has failed and has suffered a backlash. The current Soul Guidance effect will be halved from before."
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
"Wang Cai, I'll treat you to a meal someday."
"Sure, sure. What do you want to eat, Master?"
"Smoked dog meat, ripped dog meat, dog meat noodles, dog meat soup, dog meat hotpot, dog meat cold dish, dog meat with five fragrances, spicy dog meat, salt-baked dog meat, dog meat skewers…"
Wang Cai :"…"
"Um, Master, I'll try again. The Soul Guidance effect is increasing. It's currently doubling… Now it's increasing by 2.5 times. I'll temporarily increase it to this level first. If I continue to increase it, I'm afraid something will happen again."
"Then let's leave it at that for now."
Lu Xiaoran had a headache. For some reason, he felt somewhat uneasy.
He did not know if it was because of Fang Aotian or Lin Fei's mother. In any case, he had been feeling somewhat depressed recently and did not sleep well.
"Forget it, I'll get back to work."
…
On the other side, in the Black Cloud Mountain at the Great Zhou border, two lights suddenly fell.
"Hah! We're finally here."
"Black Cloud Mountain is the border of the Great Zhou and Northern Qi and is located in the northwest of the Great Zhou. This trip was not very long and it took the two of us a lot of effort."
The two of them were naturally none other than Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng, who had accepted Lu Xiaoran's request to find their junior sister, Zhuge Ziqiong.
The two of them landed in the valley. Because of their geographical location, this place was almost completely dark for 24 hours a day. Only cultivators with extremely powerful cultivation levels like the two of them were able to clearly see their surroundings in this dark winter place.
In the darkness, many scarlet lights flashed vaguely. They were the creatures of the Black Cloud Mountain.
In a place like Black Cloud Mountain where resources were scarce and battles broke out, almost all living beings became bloodthirsty.
At this moment, the living beings here clearly wanted to treat Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng as prey.
Li Changsheng snorted and released his sword intent slightly. These creatures who had lived on the edge of danger for a long time and had extremely sensitive sixth senses immediately sensed the terror.
Without any hesitation, all the living beings screamed and immediately turned around to escape.
Fang Tianyuan revealed an envious expression.
"Junior Brother's Sword Soul is indeed worthy of its reputation."
Li Changsheng smiled calmly.
"The Sword Soul is a type of divine soul, so its intimidation is very powerful. It's naturally difficult for the living beings of the mortal world to resist. However, I once learned that at the peak of the Martial Monarch Realm, after one transcends the tribulation to become a god, one will produce their own divine soul. At that time, Senior Brother Fang, you would also have your own divine soul, right?"
"I hope that when the time comes, I can also have such an awesome divine soul."
"Senior Brother Fang is so awesome. You definitely will."
"Cough cough… I didn't expect Junior Brother to be so good with words. Just because of what you said, if there's any trouble in the future, I promise to help you share the burden."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Fang."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries and quickly arrived at that place according to the mark.
"The mark is starting to glow. This is the place. The Yin aura in the surroundings is very heavy. I wonder if there's anything hidden. Let's finish the business here quickly to prevent any accidents from happening."
"Alright! Junior Brother, step back and watch me."
As he spoke, Fang Tianyuan took out his Saint Weapon, the Ascending Dragon Hammer.
He no longer used the Heaven Realm weapons from before. With a Saint Realm weapon, who would still use a Heaven Realm weapon?
Noticing that Li Changsheng had retreated, Fang Tianyuan immediately began to attack.
Roar!
With a shout, Fang Tianyuan used the Indestructible Golden Body. A dense golden energy immediately erupted from the surface of his body, forming a tall giant on the surface of Fang Tianyuan's body.
With the enhancement of the Indestructible Golden Body, Fang Tianyuan's defense and strength all increased rapidly, reaching an extremely terrifying realm.
The golden light illuminated nearly half of the valley, making countless creatures who were used to the darkness start to panic and become restless.
Immediately after, his hammer landed on the ground.
The huge energy impact entered the ground, making the surrounding cliffs immediately tremble. Countless cracks began to spread, and the cliffs on both sides collapsed, directly burying the two of them alive.
Fang Tianyuan :"…"
Li Changsheng :"…"
A moment later, Li Changsheng shouted softly. Sword aura spread out and slashed all the rocks into ashes. Then, he shouted in Fang Tianyuan's direction,
"Third Senior Brother, are you still alive?"
Boom!
The next moment, golden light erupted. Fang Tianyuan blasted away the rock and revealed his figure. The ground under his feet was still as flat as before.
"Cough cough, I didn't expect the ground to be so hard. This move of mine shattered the cliffs on both sides, but the ground is still fine."
Li Changsheng swept his gaze over and could not help but frown.
"The ground here seems to have experienced more than ten thousand years of precipitation. It has absorbed the negative powers of darkness, ice, and so on and has already surpassed the scope of simple mountain rock."
"Then what should we do? Little Junior Sister is buried under here. If we don't dig her out, we won't be able to report to Master!"
"Let me try. Senior Brother Fang, step back."
"Alright, be careful."
This time, Fang Tianyuan flew into the air to avoid being buried alive.
Li Changsheng took a deep breath and stopped suppressing his strength. He released the aura of the Sword Soul. It was as if a huge bomb had been dropped in the entire valley. Countless creatures were fleeing outside in fear.
The aura was even more terrifying than before.
Then, Li Changsheng raised his right hand and a top-grade Saint Realm sword appeared in his palm.
As soon as the holy sword appeared, the light instantly pierced the sky and illuminated the entire valley.

Chapter 176: Nearly fainted from anger
The sword beam fell. Its extremely powerful and invincible attack directly blasted a huge rift in the entire valley.
Boom!
The sound of rocks exploding continued to sound. Air surged and scattered the clouds.
A cloud of dust was lifted by the airflow, making the entire valley fill with dust.
"Hiss ~! Junior Brother is so terrifying!"
Fang Tianyuan could not help but praise.
His Indestructible Golden Body mainly focused on defense and strength. Putting aside strength, Fang Tianyuan was absolutely confident in his defense.
However, even so, Fang Tianyuan still felt that Li Changsheng's sword just now could pose a certain threat to him.
This was not only because Li Changsheng's cultivation was stronger than his, but also because Li Changsheng's sword intent was very sharp.
Among those of the same level, probably no one in this world had a higher killing power than him when he used his sword moves.
As the spirit energy circulated, the two of them swept away the dust. Fang Tianyuan used his Indestructible Golden Body to light up the valley, making the two of them feel more comfortable.
Li Changsheng flicked out the mark Wang Cai had formed. The mark in the air turned into a golden butterfly phantom and flew down.
The two of them immediately followed.
"The only reason we were able to find Little Junior Sister this time is because of Little Junior Brother's sword techniques. Junior Brother's divine might is peerless. After we return, Master will definitely reward Little Junior Brother."
"Senior Brother Fang is too kind. I'm only working for Master. Moreover, I'm looking for our junior sister. How could I ask for a reward?"
"I wonder what Little Junior Sister looks like. I heard from Master that she seems to have already become a zombie. Could it be that she is hideous-looking?"
"I don't think so. I once read about it in the Azure Lotus Sword Sect's Scripture Depository. High-level zombies absorb the essence of the sun and moon and the Yin energy of the world to nourish themselves. They won't be as hideous as ordinary zombies. Instead, they will be no different from ordinary people."
"I see. Junior Brother, you sure know a lot. Thank you for your guidance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the butterfly formed by the mark finally stopped moving.
"Eh, I found Little Junior Sister."
The two of them were overjoyed and quickly rushed forward. However, when they saw what the butterfly was lying on, they were instantly petrified.
The air fell into a deathly silence. However, in the empty valley, there were still one or two rocks that fell from time to time, causing a bang to reverberate.
After a long silence, Li Changsheng looked at Fang Tianyuan helplessly.
"Senior Brother, what should we do?"
Fang Tianyuan pondered for a moment and pulled away from him.
"Junior Brother, a man has to learn to take responsibility. Since you made a mistake, you have to take responsibility bravely. You have to be a man."
Li Changsheng :"…"
"Senior Brother Fang, you just told me that you would share the burden with me in the future."
"Did I say that? Do you have evidence? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Junior Brother Li, if you do this, I'll sue you for slander in front of Master, do you know that?"
Li Changsheng cried on the spot.
He squatted down and picked up a long jade hand.
He had never expected that his previous attack had been too powerful. Not only had it cracked the ground, but it had also slashed his junior sister into pieces. Now, the other party only had one hand left. How was he supposed to report this to his master?
It would be strange if his master did not kill him.
Fang Tianyuan sighed and patted his shoulder.
"Don't be too depressed. Perhaps you only separated her body. The other parts might have scattered elsewhere."
Li Changsheng's eyes immediately lit up.
"That's right. Perhaps I only slashed open her body and did not turn her body into ashes."
Speaking of this, he immediately began to search excitedly.
A moment later, the two of them sat on a huge rock with gloomy expressions.
"Looks like Little Junior Sister has really been slashed into dust by me. What should I do?"
"Junior Brother, I think you might be thinking too much. After all, you haven't seen Master yet. How did you know that Master would find trouble with you?"
Li Changsheng was about to heave a sigh of relief when Fang Tianyuan continued, "After all, Master might just directly kill you. Who knows?"
Li Changsheng :"…"
"Junior Brother, I think the problem you should be thinking of the most now is where you'll be buried after you die. What material will you use to build your coffin? How big will your tomb be? Also, whether or not you want to pass on your Sword Soul?"
"I personally suggest that you consider me. After all, I can help you out with the burial. I know a burial clothes shop. They have top-notch skills, reasonable prices, and new clothing styles. They produce new clothes every year. Moreover, I have an acquaintance in the shop who can offer discounts."
Li Changsheng :"…"
"I would already be dead. What difference does it make whether or not I get a discount?"
"There's a difference. Because if it's cheaper, I can help you buy it. However, if it's too expensive, that won't work. After all, I'm a bit tight on money."
"Can I curse at you?"
"Sure, as long as you can resist the beating."
Li Changsheng immediately felt like crying.
Of course, he also knew that Senior Brother Fang was joking with him. After all, they were fellow disciples. It was impossible for the other party to really hope that he would be beaten to death by his master.
However, the problem was that he had gotten into a big mess this time and even killed his junior sister. If his master knew about this, he would probably explode from anger.
It was not something that could be resolved with a few good words from Senior Brother Fang.
Could it be that I, Li Changsheng, will die aggrievedly before he could become famous in the Great Zhou?
Just as the two of them were worrying about this, a cold corpse aura suddenly attacked from behind.
"Who is it!"
Fang Tianyuan immediately opened his Indestructible Golden Body and protected Li Changsheng and himself.
Bang!
The next moment, the two of them were sent flying by a huge force.
Bang bang…
The two of them were like cannonballs as they smashed fiercely into the valley on the other side, creating two deep craters.
Boom!
In the next moment, sword aura erupted. The sword light was like a dragon, directly blasting a huge hole in half of the cliff, revealing Li Changsheng and Fang Tianyuan's bodies.
Li Changsheng was still alright. Fang Tianyuan had immediately protected him in his Indestructible Golden Body.
As for Fang Tianyuan, he had endured all the other party's attacks. At this moment, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.
The two of them looked forward and saw a white-robed man. However, his scarlet pupils and the two sharp teeth that appeared from the corner of his mouth clearly indicated that he was not an ordinary human.
"What a powerful aura. He has probably already reached the King Realm or above. Senior Brother Fang, are you alright?"
Li Changsheng's expression was extremely solemn.
"No way. Just now, in order to protect you, I let him break three of my ribs."
With that said, Fang Tianyuan stuffed a handful of healing medicinal pills into his mouth and chewed.
"This guy is at the King Realm?"
"That's right!"
"We're doomed. We can't win. We have to obey the rule of Zhishui Peak—retreat."
"Alright!"
The two of them had a tacit understanding and attacked at the same time.
A shocking sword beam and a golden fist mark attacked the King Realm zombie from both sides at the same time.
Boom!
With a violent explosion, the valley was illuminated by the flames again. However, the two of them did not dare to have the slightest leisure to admire it. With the fastest speed, they used their movement technique, Shadowless Gale, to escape.
However, just as the two of them left, the exploding ball of light was compressed and condensed by a huge force.
In the end, it actually became a small ball of light that was grabbed by the King Realm zombie.
Roar!
The King Realm zombie let out a low roar and directly shattered the energy ball into pieces. Then, with a thought, it instantly transformed into a black stream of light that chased after the two of them.
…
Two days later, Lu Xiaoran finally walked out of the room. He had already set everything up and had temporarily fused the Great Dao Reincarnation with the Mountain and River State Painting.
The Mountain and River State Painting, which had already evolved into a divine weapon, could completely resist the might of a God Realm cultivation technique and the Great Dao Reincarnation.
"Now, as long as we wait for Lige and the others to return and let them enter, I can let them work overtime to cultivate and increase their strength. It will be perfect."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoran seemed to have sensed something and the corner of his mouth curled up.
"Speak of the devil. I didn't expect Lige and Wuxia to have already arrived."
He tapped his foot lightly and his body instantly disappeared from his spot.
When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Two streams of light flashed, and Yun Lige and Ji Wuxia happened to arrive.
"You guys are finally back."
"Greetings, Master."
The two of them bowed in unison. Lu Xiaoran raised his hand slightly and used his spirit energy to help the two of them up.
"How is it? The Lin family has already been destroyed, right? Did you leave behind any clues? Or things that might threaten us?"
"Uh…"
Yun Lige looked at Ji Wuxia and was somewhat guilty.
Lu Xiaoran was smart. He instantly understood that something was wrong after seeing their expressions.
His heart skipped a beat.
"What's going on? Did someone escape?"
Yun Lige shook his head.
"Then… Did someone see you?"
Yun Lige shook his head again.
"Did you guys not destroy the Lin family?"
Yun Lige shook his head again.
Lu Xiaoran directly kicked his thigh.
"Tell me. How am I supposed to know what's going on if you just keep shaking your head?"
Yun Lige said somewhat aggrieved, "I… I think it's better for Junior Sister to say it. I can't say it."
Lu Xiaoran looked at Ji Wuxia.
Ji Wuxia coughed dryly before speaking, "It's like this. We've already destroyed the Lin family, but the Lin family has a rock that tests one's talent. In fact, that rock was probably left behind by the Lin family's patriarch. After Eldest Senior Brother shattered it, it turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the sky. According to my initial estimation, it should be a message transmission that can spread this matter. Moreover… it seems to have been sent to the Divine World."
Boom!
Lu Xiaoran immediately felt a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket descend in his mind, making him dizzy.
Yun Lige directly knelt on the ground.
"Master, it's all my fault. Please don't be angry."

"Damn your grandpa!"
Lu Xiaoran directly kicked out, sending Yun Lige flying.
He was really furious.
"What have I taught you in the past? You have to be careful and not leave any evidence behind. Now look at what you did! I only asked you to go out to carry out a mission and you went and made such a huge mistake. If a large group of people from the Divine World descends, how are we supposed to resist them?"
Ji Wuxia sighed faintly. She knew that this would happen.
The Divine World was too powerful compared to the mortal world. Any random group of experts could probably wipe them out.
So what if his master's cultivation was powerful?
He might be able to resist one or two, but what if dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of God Realm experts came?
How could his master resist?
Yun Lige knelt on the ground and did not dare to say a word.
"I know that I'm in big trouble. Master, please punish me!"
Lu Xiaoran was so furious that he collapsed and directly took out the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Punish you, right? I'll kill you now."
Yun Lige trembled in fear, but he closed his eyes and did not dodge.
"My life was all given to me by Master. Without Master, Lige would have long died. Now that Lige has committed a huge mistake, Lige will have no complaints if Master wants to kill him."
Lu Xiaoran was so furious that he collapsed. He raised the Xuanyuan Sword but did not move.
After all, this was a disciple that he had personally nurtured. He was like a child that he had raised. No matter how angry he was, he could not bear to kill him like this.
Moreover, it had already happened. It was useless even if he killed Yun Lige.
He swept his gaze over Ji Wuxia, who understood tacitly and immediately advised,
"Master, Eldest Senior Brother did not do it on purpose. Who knew that the most mysterious thing in the entire Lin family was actually a lousy rock. Master, please do not punish Eldest Senior Brother too harshly."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoran finally retracted his Xuanyuan Sword.
"Since your junior sister has pleaded for leniency for you, I'll forgive you for and spare your life this time. However, you can't escape punishment."
Then, he threw a whip comparable to a top-grade Heaven Realm expert to Ji Wuxia.
"Use this to whip him 200, no, 2,000. No, 20,000 times. If he can't take it anymore, feed him a healing medicinal pill. After he recovers, continue whipping."
"Uh… I understand."
Ji Wuxia received the whip and then threw a pitiful gaze at Yun Lige.
She seemed to be saying: "This was not my fault. It was Master who made me whip you. Moreover, I helped you plead for leniency."
Yun Lige looked at Ji Wuxia with a bitter expression.
His gaze seemed to be pleading Ji Wuxia to be gentler.
Soon, whipping and screams sounded from the foot of the mountain.
Yun Lige's veins were exposed from the pain. They were winding like ferocious mountain ranges.
At this moment, two more auras quickly approached from the distant horizon.
Sensing these two familiar auras, Lu Xiaoran's eyes lit up.
It was Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng. The two of them should have already brought back their fifth disciple and his disciple's youngest junior sister, Zhuge Ziqiong, right?
With another disciple, his cultivation should be able to increase a little faster. After that, he would be more confident in dealing with the hot shots.
Finally, something that would make him happy.
Lu Xiaoran sighed and felt much better.
However, before he could be happy, he quickly discovered that something seemed to be following behind his two disciples.
"Master, save us!"
Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng also saw Lu Xiaoran and immediately shouted for help. Lu Xiaoran swept his Trinity True Eyes and immediately discovered that the one chasing his two precious disciples was actually a King Realm zombie.
Presumably, it should be the one in charge of guarding Zhuge Ziqiong or a wild zombie king nourished by the land of extreme Yin.
However, that was not the main point. The main point was that this doggy thing had actually been chasing after his two precious disciples!
One had to find out about the master before beating a dog. A mere King Realm zombie actually dared to bully its precious disciple?
This zombie was courting death!
Lu Xiaoran's eyes moved and he directly teleported over. He arrived behind Fang Tianyuan and Lu Xiaoran and faced the zombie.
Roar!
The wild zombie king immediately roared and spread its sharp claws, emitting a cold and poisonous glow that went straight for Lu Xiaoran's eyes.
It was ferocious, but Lu Xiaoran was even more ferocious than it was. He circulated the Indestructible Golden Body and protected himself with the golden body. Then, he directly stretched out his hand and grabbed the wild zombie king's wrist. With a slap of his hand, he smashed its hands into dust.
Before the wild zombie king could react, Lu Xiaoran punched the wild zombie king fiercely one punch after another.
The anger he had just felt from Yun Lige was now all vented on the Wild Zombie King by Lu Xiaoran.
He even went against his principle of killing the other party directly when he attacked. He did not use his full strength and only attacked incessantly, beating the wild zombie king until it screamed repeatedly. Its muscles and bones were all broken by Lu Xiaoran one by one, and they sounded crisp.
The King Realm zombie screamed terrifyingly. That tragic scene made Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng stunned.
Was their master that cruel?
This was the first time they had seen their master attack an enemy.
Wasn't this too cruel?
He could have killed the other party in one move, but he did not. Instead, he grabbed the other party and continued to attack.
Something was wrong!
His master had always been cautious and always used killing techniques. How could he be like today? He was only torturing the other party instead of killing the other party?
After a moment, the two of them suddenly understood.
This was because their master was angry. He was so angry that the wild zombie king had come to kill the two of them.
This was their master's deep love!
The two of them could not help but clench their fists tightly, their eyes red.
Only Ji Wuxia, who was beating someone below, and Yun Lige, who was being beaten, understood what was going on.
Ji Wuxia said faintly, "Did you see that? Eldest Senior Brother, Master is so angry at you that he doesn't even care about his principles any more."
Yun Lige's face became even more ashamed.
"I'm really ashamed. I've let Master down. From today onwards, I have to work harder. In the future, I have to become Master's most capable disciple. I have to do everything Master wants me to do. No, I have to do everything perfectly."
Ji Wuxia nodded.
"Then please lie on the ground a little better. If you secretly lean sideways like this, I'll only be able to hit one of your butt cheeks and not the other one. I feel that I've let Master down by cutting corners like this."
Yun Lige :"…"
After Lu Xiaoran fiercely tortured the King Realm zombie, he finally used a hundred Martial Monarch Realm cultivation techniques to turn it into dust, not even leaving behind a soul.
Then, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
"I feel much better now."
The best way to deal with anger was to vent it.
If he did not vent it and kept it in his heart, it would only make him feel worse.
Lu Xiaoran patted his hand and called Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng over.
The two of them immediately flew to their master's side.
"Greetings, Master."
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand and smiled.
"No need to bow. Where's your junior sister? Quickly get her to come out and see me."
"Uh…"
At this moment, Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng immediately became somewhat embarrassed.
When Lu Xiaoran saw their expressions, his happy mood instantly skipped a beat.
"What's going on? Did something happen with the two of you as well?"
With a plop, Li Changsheng knelt on the ground.
"Master, I'm sorry. Please punish me."
Lu Xiaoran's mind trembled and he staggered two steps back.
"What… what's wrong with you?"
Li Changsheng looked at Fang Tianyuan. Fang Tianyuan coughed lightly and took out a long fingernail from his storage bag.
"Master, the extremely cold place where Little Junior Sister was buried was really too hard and sturdy. Little Junior Brother directly slashed the place open with a sword move. However, he didn't expect to use too much strength and directly hack Little Junior Sister into dust."
Thump!
Lu Xiaoran completely collapsed. His blood surged, and his eyes turned white. He directly fainted from anger.
"Not good, Master has fainted."
"Someone, come quickly!"
…
After an unknown period of time, Lu Xiaoran woke up in a daze. His four disciples were all kneeling in a row.
Seeing him wake up, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.
"Master, you're awake."
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't! I'm not your master. You're my masters. I don't have the strength to teach top-notch geniuses like you."
As he said this, Lu Xiaoran's eyes turned red and he felt like crying.
The originally good situation had been completely ruined by these few brats.
Could these guys be the legendary useless teammates?
What sins had he committed in his previous life?
Why did he have to encounter these troublesome disciples?
The four of them revealed ashamed expressions.
"Master, I'm sorry. We were wrong."
To be honest, they were all around the same age. They were all in their twenties.
As for Lu Xiaoran, he had lived two lifetimes and was definitely much more mature than them.
He could control himself and not be arrogant or high-spirited. He was always careful when he encountered problems and maintained his calm.
In this aspect, Yun Lige and the others were definitely inferior to him. Therefore, they made the mistake that some young people would make—rashness.
Lu Xiaoran sighed faintly.
"There's nothing I can do. I've lost both the top lane and the bottom lane. Now, even the middle lane has been lost. I'm powerless to turn the tables. Go and find whoever you want. I'm disbanding the members of our Zhishui Peak."
"Master, are you chasing us away?"
"Master, we were wrong. We've learned our lesson. Please don't chase us away."
The four of their eyes were somewhat red. This time, they were really afraid.
Lu Xiaoran glanced at the few of them angrily.
"It's not that I want to chase you away. It's already very difficult for me to carry the four of you. The four of you just had to keep fooling around. I really wonder if you're spies sent by those hot shots."

"Master."
The few of their eyes were really moist and misty.
"Master, we won't complain if you want to beat or punish us. Please don't chase us away. Even if we die, we want to die with Master."
"If you guys stay away from me, I probably won't die."
Yun Lige :"…"
Ji Wuxia :"…"
Fang Tianyuan :"…"
Li Changsheng :"…"
Zhuge Ziqiong's hand…
After a while, Yun Lige finally said, "Master, I beg of you. I know that it's all my fault. In the future, Lige will definitely be good and obedient. I will definitely temper my character well and be cautious. I will definitely not be disobedient again."
Li Changsheng also said, "Master, in the future, Changsheng will definitely not think about becoming famous again. I will definitely be obedient and careful."
Seeing the few of them kneel pitifully, the anger in Lu Xiaoran's heart also dissipated a lot.
After all, these people were all his disciples. He could not really ignore them or chase them away, right?
He also did not intend on giving up Wang Cai's gift bags.
He still wanted free cultivation.
To put it bluntly, the few of them were in the same boat. They would only become stronger together. However, once they were separated, their strength would immediately drop by a lot.
Helpless, Lu Xiaoran heaved a deep sigh and immediately said, "Alright, I'll give you guys one more chance. This is your last chance. Remember this in the future. You have to be careful no matter what you do outside. Don't you dare show off. Otherwise, you will be cursed to be struck by lightning. If you still end up dying, it's your own fault for courting death. You shouldn't implicate everyone."
The four of them nodded in unison.
"I'll remember this for now. If you do this again in the future, don't blame me for being heartless."
The four of them immediately replied in unison, "Don't worry, Master. We know."
"Alright, get up."
Only then did the four of them stand up.
Then, Lu Xiaoran continued, "There's a situation right now. I'll tell you guys clearly first. Fang Aotian from the Ancient Ape Tribe has already reached the first level of the King Realm. Moreover, he has many weapons. I even suspect that he might have a treasure vault with several Martial Monarch Realm weapons."
Hiss!
The few of them could not help but have goosebumps.
It was not strange to them that their Master had multiple Martial Monarch Realm weapons. However, when they learned that Fang Aotian had a few Martial Monarch Realm weapons, they could not help but be shocked.
After all, not everyone was like their master.
Fang Tianyuan, who was Fang Aotian's old enemy, clenched his fists especially tightly and gritted his teeth.
His mortal enemy had actually become so powerful now!
"Then Master, what should we do now? According to Fang Aotian's cultivation speed, even if we all cultivate in seclusion now, we probably won't be able to catch up to him, right?"
Li Changsheng could not help but ask.
Lu Xiaoran snapped his fingers.
"Changsheng's question is very good. If you cultivate seriously, I think the few of you won't be able to catch up to Fang Aotian even if you cultivate for your entire lives. After all, Fang Aotian can also kill enemies with cultivation higher than his. I think he can at least surpass two realms. Moreover, he doesn't even need to rely on array formations to do this."
Their pupils could not help but shrink.
Two Realms!
Wasn't this guy too powerful?
Previously, be it Xiao Bei or Lin Fei, they could at most cross one realm. Now, his master actually said that Fang Aotian could cross two realms.
Could it be that there were differences between the hot shots?
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be shocked. The hot shots have always been an extremely abnormal existence. Even if we encounter a hot shot that breaks through to the Martial Monarch Realm as soon as he's born in the future, we shouldn't be surprised. This is normal for them."
What we need to do is to use all the advantageous factors we have to kill them. "
"Master, tell me what to do. You must have an idea already."
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
"Smart. In the next period of time, I'll send you guys into the Mountain and River State Painting. I've already adjusted the time flow inside the Mountain and River State Painting. One day spent outside will be equal to seven, eight, or even ten days spent inside. I won't give you much time to cultivate. After all, the Demon Sect probably won't be able to last for long."
We have to attack Fang Aotian before the Demon Sect is completely destroyed. "
Lu Xiaoran had previously concluded that this was like playing a game. When a player defeated a Boss, they would obtain a lot of experience, obtain countless equipment, and various good items. Their strength would increase by a lot.
If he waited until the Demon Sect was destroyed, not only would Fang Aotian's cultivation increase, but he might even obtain a huge sum of resources.
At that time, it would be troublesome for Lu Xiaoran to attack again.
Therefore, he decided that it was best for them to appear right before Fang Aotian and the Demon Sect fought to the death.
At that time, Fang Aotian should have been at his weakest and it would also be the easiest for them to succeed.
"In that case, we will definitely cultivate diligently and not let Master down."
Lu Xiaoran nodded and put the few of them into the Mountain and River State Painting. Then, he gave them enough resources.
He threw in all kinds of Martial Monarch Realm and Saint Realm pills for them to use casually.
After arranging for his disciples, Lu Xiaoran finally looked at the hand.
What a pitiful fifth disciple. She only had one hand.
This should be the most tragic one among all his disciples, right?
Fortunately, he had the Divine Weapon Body Modeling Mark. The Body Modeling Mark only needed blood essence and soul to repair one's body. With an entire hand here, it was definitely not a problem.
Lu Xiaoran immediately took out the Body Modeling Mark and threw Zhuge Ziqiong's hand in.
Immediately after, he activated the divine weapon and a golden light immediately appeared on the Body Modeling Mark.
Because Zhuge Ziqiong's cultivation was very low, the Body Modeling Mark repaired her very quickly.
Soon, as the body modeling mark shot out a golden light, a beautiful jade-like figure appeared in front of Lu Xiaoran.
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
After a moment of silence, Lu Xiaoran immediately threw a cloak onto Zhuge Ziqiong.
"Damn, why is the Body Modeling Mark showing me a bare body? Why doesn't it just give her a set of clothes? This is simply unacceptable!"
Perhaps sensing something strange, Zhuge Ziqiong crawled up from the ground in a daze and looked at Lu Xiaoran in front of her in confusion.
The dorky and adorable look on her face was simply unbearable. Her zombie-like canine teeth were very naughty and cute. Coupled with her long, soft, black hair that was like a waterfall and her fair and tender little face, she looked very much like a two-dimensional female protagonist.
If it were an ordinary man, they might not be able to help but directly commit a crime. However, Lu Xiaoran would not.
He had a very clear view of life.
If you made a friend and encountered trouble, the friend would help you.
However, women only knew how to drag you down.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoran definitely did not want a girlfriend.
Moreover, the other party was his disciple. He was the other party's master, a hardworking gardener, and a teacher.
How could he do something that insulted the holy word "master"?
Seeing the confusion in the other party's eyes, Lu Xiaoran coughed lightly and greeted.
"Hello."
The other party ignored him.
Lu Xiaoran could not help but frown slightly.
Could it be that because the other party was not from the Great Zhou Empire, or because the other party had already become a zombie, the language she used also changed?
Therefore, Lu Xiaoran changed his greetings.
"Hello."
…
"Moshi moshi?"
…
"Arrigato."
…
"Konichiwa."
…
"Yamete."
…
"Iku iku?"
…
Lu Xiaoran tried several times in a row and almost used up all his vocabulary, but Zhuge Ziqiong did not react at all.
This gave him a huge headache. Could it be that this person's transformation into a zombie would also cause a change in her linguistic abilities?
With the language barrier, how could they communicate?
"Wang Cai, come out."
"Coming, coming, Master, I'm here."
"This Zhuge Ziqiong doesn't understand what I'm saying. Therefore, I can't make her acknowledge me as her master, right?"
"Reporting to Master, you don't have to worry. Although her zombie bloodline is very high-level, her cultivation level is still very basic. Now, she's at most equivalent to a child learning how to speak among humans. As long as she cultivates a cultivation technique and increases her cultivation, her linguistic ability will increase. At that time, she will be able to communicate."
"However, the problem is that I can't let her take me as her master now, so I naturally can't teach her cultivation techniques. How can I help her advance?"
"That's not a problem. It's very simple for men and women to communicate. There's no need for words."
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
"I suspect that you're being a pervert, but I can't tell for sure."
"Of course not."
With that said, Wang Cai immediately ran to Zhuge Ziqiong's side. He kicked her and smashed his small claws fiercely on the back of her head.
Bang!
The adorable Zhuge Ziqiong's head directly smashed fiercely onto the ground, even creating a small pit.
Immediately after, Wang Cai smiled and said,
"Congratulations, Master for taking in the disciple with a King Realm zombie bloodline. Master is rewarded with a Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique—Heaven Amplification Six Dao Art and a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm weapon—Six Path Reincarnation Disk."
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
"Do you have to do this? Is it very interesting? I think you could have easily confirmed our master-disciple relationship."
"Master, don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, I'll sue you for slander. Wang Cai is a good child."
"Forget it."
A system with such intelligence and bootlicking tendencies actually that he was a good child.
No one would believe it.
"Alright, this has nothing to do with you. Go back. I'll train her well."

Chapter 179: The Might of the Feet Water Is Extraordinary
Lu Xiaoran arrived in front of Zhuge Ziqiong and was about to send the cultivation technique into her mind when Zhuge Ziqiong suddenly pounced over and bit Lu Xiaoran's hand.
Lu Xiaoran: "Let go."
However, Zhuge Ziqiong did not let go. In a situation where its cultivation was very low, a zombie was simply unable to control its bloodthirsty desire.
Lu Xiaoran could not help but shake his head. He slapped her little head before slamming her head to the ground. No matter how she struggled, she could not pull it out.
After all, her cultivation was very weak, and the hole in the ground was very tight. It was very normal for her to be unable to pull it out.
"Why do you have to do this? You can't even break through any of my defenses. You won't be able to suck my blood even if you bite me."
As he spoke, Lu Xiaoran flicked his finger and a golden light entered the back of Zhuge Ziqiong's head.
Soon, Zhuge Ziqiong, who was struggling, regained her calm.
Then, Lu Xiaoran pulled Zhuge Ziqiong out of the ground. This time, Zhuge Ziqiong no longer tried to bite him.
The cultivation technique had evolved in her body and was helping her condense her memories endlessly.
Lu Xiaoran was silent for a moment as he looked at her small canine teeth.
This child would probably not be easy to find a partner in the future. With this pair of teeth, although they looked very cute, wouldn't they mess her partner up?
However, Lu Xiaoran quickly began to get to work.
Because Zhuge Ziqiong was only a zombie, her intelligence was currently in a mess, and her cultivation technique cultivated in her body on its own. This speed was too slow. He estimated that she would have to wait for at least another few decades before she could completely gather her memories.
Thus, he used the Trinity True Eyes and crazily poured his mental strength into Zhuge Ziqiong.
Soon, a trace of light began to appear in Zhuge Ziqiong's blood-red eyes. It was a light that belonged to wisdom.
With Lu Xiaoran's help, Zhuge Ziqiong recovered all her memories in less than half a day.
However, she was still at a loss.
Those cute blood-red eyes revealed a strange color as they stared fixedly at Lu Xiaoran, as if they were saying: "Where am I? Who are you? What are you doing?"
Lu Xiaoran coughed lightly and said, "Let me explain to you. I'm your master. I sort of saved you from the Land of Extreme Yin… Then, I injected a Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique into you and helped you regain your intelligence."
Zhuge Ziqiong was silent for a moment before nodding.
"There are so many extreme Yin lands in the world. How do you know which extreme Yin land I was in? Why did you recover my intelligence?"
"You have quite a few questions. Let me give you a more thorough explanation of something first."
Lu Xiaoran quickly told Zhuge Ziqiong about his rules, background, Yun Lige, and the others, as well as the matters regarding the hot shots.
After hearing this, Zhuge Ziqiong finally understood. However, she could not help but feel surprised.
Before coming into contact with what Lu Xiaoran had said today, Zhuge Ziqiong would never have thought that there were so many hackers in this world.
"I see. Then, according to what you said, the daughter of that slut is probably a hot shot, right?"
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
"The main mission of our Avengers Alliance is to kill these hot shots to maintain world peace."
Zhuge Ziqiong immediately felt admiration.
She felt that Lu Xiaoran was simply too awesome.
It was just like how it was clearly her half-sister's mother's fault for seducing her father. In the end, however, the other party's mother had angered her mother to death and made him an orphan.
She wanted to avenge her mother and punish the other party's mother. However, the other party's mother always acted innocent whenever her father was around.
In the end, her father would always blame her and punish her.
She was clearly the one who had lost her mother. They were clearly the intruders who had ruined his family. On the other hand, she was just trying to avenge her mother. How did she end up becoming the vicious one?
What was even more hateful was that even the heavens had helped the other party. With such a monstrous talent, she had unknowingly become a top-notch expert of a generation.
Not only had the other party killed her, but the other party had also sealed her in the land of extreme Yin to ensure that she would never be able to reincarnate.
Zhuge Ziqiong was really unwilling to accept this.
Why?
Was the heavens blind?
If not for him meeting Lu Xiaoran, she might not have been able to recover her intelligence and wake up.
"However, speaking of which, Master, that slut was already an expert 200 years ago. Now, I'm afraid I don't know how powerful her cultivation is. How much of a chance do we have against her?"
"I don't know either. I don't want to lie to you. To be honest, the risk of danger when fighting any hot shot is as high as 99.999%. We can only do our best to plan and strive to take down the other party in one fell swoop after figuring out the other party's background."
Zhuge Ziqiong nodded.
It seemed that her master was really an honest person.
He could have deceived her. For example, he could have said that if she cultivated well, he would definitely be able to help her kill the other party. However, he did not.
His words revealed sincerity and simplicity.
What a good man!
At this moment, even Zhuge Ziqiong, who had just gotten to know Lu Xiaoran, had already tacitly acknowledged this master in her heart.
"How is it? Can you call me Master now?"
Lu Xiaoran smiled and looked at him. Zhuge Ziqiong nodded and took a deep breath.
"Greetings, Master."
Lu Xiaoran nodded and smiled.
"Alright, get up."
The feeling of taking in a disciple was very satisfying. At the very least, unlike those hot shots like those Long Aotian, he was nurturing disciples. On the other hand, those people were gathering brainless pigs all day long and had disgusting values.
"You're no longer human. Since you're a zombie, you won't be able to absorb medicinal pills anymore. However, Fortunately, I have many Martial Monarch Realm Blood Pills that I can reverse-engineer. I can extract the Martial Monarch Realm blood essence inside to help you increase your cultivation. Other than that, the cultivation technique you cultivate, the Heaven Amplification Six Dao Art, can also increase your strength."
Zhuge Ziqiong clenched her fists slightly as an inexplicable sadness and anger surged in her heart.
Because a zombie with a very low cultivation had a large amount of resentment gathered in its body, it was very easy for it to go berserk from anger.
Lu Xiaoran raised his eyebrows slightly and rubbed her little head.
"Calm down. My current cultivation level is not enough. However, if I'm powerful enough one day, I might be able to help you reconstruct your human body."
Traces of warmth immediately surged out of Zhuge Ziqiong's cold heart, and her ruthless aura was suppressed again.
"Thank you, Master."
"That's right. Speaking of which, that sister of yours is the daughter of that mistress. If you have any information, tell me first. I'll record it."
"Alright!"
Zhuge Ziqiong pondered for a moment and organized her thoughts.
"Because my mother was a very good wife, the entire residence respects her very much. After my mother died of anger, not only me, but everyone in the residence also had a lot of opinions of Zhuge Liuli and her mother. Naturally, they also bully and scold her."
Zhuge Liuli had always been very gentle.
As for me, I usually order her around like a maidservant. It's fine in front of outsiders, but I won't do anything to humiliate my family's reputation in case outsiders laugh at my Zhuge family. However, at home, I usually let her do some dirty work. "
Lu Xiaoran held his chin and muttered,
"The daughter of a mistress being bullied… From the sound of it, this plan is indeed filled with the aura of a useless protagonist. Just the name 'Liuli' alone is filled with a rich chuunibyou aura."
However, it's not very appropriate for the other party to be able to rise to prominence overnight. After all, no matter how heaven-defying the hot shots are, there will still be a special factor in their advancement. Do you remember any other special characteristics about her? Or perhaps, did you pick on her in a specific manner? "
Zhuge Ziqiong thought again and continued, "I thought about it later and realized that there were signs to her transformation. I don't know when it started, but at one point, her eyes made me somewhat afraid. Especially when she smiled coldly with a crooked mouth, I always had an uneasy feeling. It was as if I was only a small ant in front of her."
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
It was indeed the legendary Crooked Mouth. After witnessing a crooked smile, it was difficult to tell if one would still be alive.
"Got it. She was probably reborn. I don't know if she herself had been reborned or if someone else had stolen her soul. However, no matter what, she's definitely a big shot who has sufficient cultivation techniques and cultivation experience. Otherwise, she wouldn't have developed successfully so quickly."
"That should be the case."
Zhuge Ziqiong nodded and immediately said,
"Usually, I would get her to help me wash my feet. Once, when she was unwilling, I splashed water on her. From then on, she completely erupted. Many famous cultivators often came to praise her. Some called her the Dragon King, some called her Asura, and some called her the Battle God."
The muscles on Lu Xiaoran's face could not help but twitch fiercely.
Once again, it was because of this damned foot wash.
Speaking of which, Lu Xiaoran had always considered and studied this problem.
Why was the luck of a hot shot so powerful? Was there some secret behind it?
For example, Xiao Bei started to become a hacker after being mocked and insulted.
Could it be that by being insulted or by doing demeaning acts such as washing other people's feet, one could actually increase their luck?
Lu Xiaoran could not do anything about insults and ridicule. After all, with his status, it was not suitable for him to do this to them. Moreover, he also couldn't find anyone to humiliate Yun Lige and the others.
However… when it came to washing feet …
"Zi Qiong, go get a basin of foot washing water. After you're done washing your feet, hand the water to me."
Zhuge Ziqiong's face was slightly red.
"Master, you…"
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand.
"Don't think nonsense. I don't have that kind of abnormal hobby. I just want to see if this thing can increase luck."

Chapter 180: I, Yun Lige, Have Risen…?
Although Zhuge Ziqiong was somewhat embarrassed, this was still the first request her master gave her. She still had to abide by it.
Soon, she handed the water she used to wash her feet to Lu Xiaoran.
"Master, I just washed my feet with this."
Lu Xiaoran nodded and threw a small porcelain bottle to Zhuge Ziqiong.
"In this small porcelain bottle is the Martial Monarch Realm blood I just extracted from the Martial Monarch Realm Blood Pill. Take it and cultivate."
"Yes!"
Zhuge Ziqiong received the small porcelain bottle and swept her gaze over it. She could not help but shudder.
She originally thought that Lu Xiaoran would at most produce one or two drops of Martial Monarch Realm blood essence.
At first, she thought that since Lu Xiaoran was so powerful that he even had a Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique, it would not be strange for him to produce a bit of Martial Monarch Realm blood essence.
However, she did not expect Lu Xiaoran to have obtained so much Martial Monarch Realm blood essence.
Wasn't this too terrifying?
Did he capture a Martial Monarch Realm expert, tie him up, and then bleed him to collect this?
Ignoring Zhuge Ziqiong's shock, Lu Xiaoran directly put her into the Mountain and River State Painting.
At the same time, Lu Xiaoran also released Yun Lige from the Mountain and River State Painting.
He would definitely dump this water on himself. No matter how beautiful Zhuge Ziqiong was, Lu Xiaoran did not have such a perverted hobby.
However, he still had to experiment. If it could really increase luck, his disciple might have a chance of becoming a hot shot in the future.
Just like how Nalan Hongyu could nurture Lin Fei, he could also nurture Yun Lige, Ji Wuxia, and the other hot shots.
"Master, you called for me?"
Yun Lige walked out of the Mountain and River State Painting. His attitude and tone were very respectful.
After being punished by his master just now, not only was he respectful to his master, but he was also afraid.
Lu Xiaoran did not waste his breath and went straight to the point.
"It's like this. I might have thought of a way to increase your luck and want to test it with you. If it works, I'll increase your luck. In the future, even if you encounter a hot shot, you won't be suppressed."
Yun Lige was stunned. In the next moment, his heart felt warm, and his eyes turned sour.
"Master, you're really too good to me. I just made a huge mistake. How could you still think of me when you encountered such a good thing?"
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand.
"The two are not connected. I don't want to talk about the past anymore. Life is in the future, not in the past. Hurry up and test it for me. After you're done, go and cultivate."
Yun Lige nodded and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
"Master, tell me. What should I do?"
Lu Xiaoran pointed at the basin of water in front of him.
"It's very simple. I just need to…"
Before Lu Xiaoran could finish, Yun Lige stretched out his right hand and stopped him from continuing.
"Stop talking, Master. I understand."
Lu Xiaoran: "???"
Before he could finish explaining, Yun Lige already understood?
He had never told him this before, had he?
He…
Just as Lu Xiaoran was thinking, Yun Lige had already picked up Zhuge Ziqiong's foot wash and gulped it down.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp… hic…"
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
He only wanted to try splashing it on Yun Lige. He never asked Yun Lige to drink it.
After drinking it all, Yun Lige put down the wooden basin in his hand and burped again. Then, he smacked his lips and said,
"Master, where did you prepare this divine water? It's not bad. It's fragrant and sweet. After drinking it, I feel much more refreshed."
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
"How can this thing be sweet?"
"That's right! Master, haven't you tried it yourself? There's still a little left. Do you want to try it?"
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand repeatedly.
"No, no. Since you said it's sweet, it must be sweet. Master trusts your judgment."
"Then has my luck increased?"
"I'll take a look first."
Lu Xiaoran opened the Trinity True Eyes and swept his gaze over. Yun Lige's luck had not increased.
This made him somewhat disappointed.
Could it be that there was a specific factor to the foot washing water? It was possible that nothing would happen when it was used on ordinary people. Perhaps only specific people could increase their luck and become hot shots after coming into contact with the foot washing water.
Or could it be that Zhuge Ziqiong had already become a zombie and her physique had changed, so Yun Lige was unable to increase his luck?
Lu Xiaoran wanted to test it again, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.
He was afraid that Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng would also be hot-headed and would also pick up the huge basin and gulp it down.
However, seeing Yun Lige's expectant gaze after drinking the water, Lu Xiaoran was also embarrassed to disappoint him.
"Yes, it did increase a little."
Hiss!
Yun Lige was immediately overjoyed and smiled happily.
"I knew it. After all, it's only natural for Master's gifts to be extraordinary. It can even increase one's luck."
Lu Xiaoran fell silent and did not answer.
However, he could not be blamed. Before he could finish, Yun Lige had already finished his drink. He did not even have the chance to explain.
"By the way, Master, when I just came out, I saw a beautiful girl with long hair. She's Little Junior Sister, right?"
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
"Then do you want me to help you guide Little Junior Sister? After all, she just arrived. I think as the Eldest Senior Brother, I have the responsibility to help you share some of the burden."
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
"Alright, go ahead."
"Understood."
Yun Lige immediately entered the Mountain and River State Painting. Lu Xiaoran also began to cultivate, preparing to resist Fang Aotian in the future.
In the Mountain and River State Painting, Yun Lige quickly found his junior sister.
His junior sister was only a zombie and should not be able to eat the Divine Concentration Pill to increase her talent. On the other hand, not only had he eaten the Divine Concentration Pill, but his talent had also far exceeded before. Moreover, he had just drunk the huge pot of divine water his master had bestowed to him to increase his luck. In terms of talent, he should at least be in the top five of Zhishui Peak!
With this level, he had to show his strength today and restore the dignity of the Eldest Senior Brother of Zhishui Peak.
In any case, they were both Lu Xiaoran's disciples and not outsiders. It was not a big deal for him to show off.
"Are you Little Junior Sister?"
Zhuge Ziqiong, who had just found a quiet place and was about to cultivate, was suddenly stunned when she saw Yun Lige suddenly appear.
"You are…?"
Yun Lige coughed lightly and said, "I'm Yun Lige."
Zhuge Ziqiong immediately stood up and cupped her hands towards Yun Lige.
"So it's Eldest Senior Brother. I'm Zhuge Ziqiong. Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother."
Yun Lige waved his hand.
"No need to be so polite. I actually came here to guide you and see if you need any help in your cultivation."
"In that case, thank you, Senior Brother. Speaking of which, I'm also somewhat puzzled."
"Tell me."
"As the saying goes: Zombies are not part of the five elements or the six Daos. In fact, they achieve longevity and live as long as the world by gathering the essence of the sun and moon. However, in the Heaven Amplification Six Path Art, it also says that zombies should use themselves as the foundation to absorb the power of the six Daos and fuse it with the five elements and the eight trigrams, becoming one with all things in the world. Aren't these two contradictory?"
Yun Lige: "???"
Was his junior sister's cultivation technique that profound? If he could not understand what she was saying, how could he guide her?
"Eldest Senior Brother?"
Seeing that he was silent, Zhuge Ziqiong said in confusion.
"Uh…"
Yun Lige looked at his junior sister's sincere and somewhat puzzled expression and immediately felt his ears burn.
No, he could not leave in embarrassment.
He was the Eldest Senior Brother of Zhishui Peak. He needed to rise to the occasion.
Thinking of this, Yun Lige immediately took a deep breath and said in all seriousness,
"It's precisely because you're not part of the five elements that you have to fuse with the five elements. It's precisely because you're outside the six Daos that you have to create a new set of six Daos. Zombies are originally formed from the resentment of the heavens and the earth, foul aura, and sanguine aura. They rely on sucking blood to nourish themselves. To put it simply, although you've surpassed the six Daos, you still have to rely on the orthodox world's six Daos to survive. As for the Heaven Amplification Six Dao Art, it allows you to be independent from the orthodox six Daos and create a new set of six Daos."
Do you… understand? "
In any case, he was only making stuff up. It did not matter if his junior sister understood or not. It was fine as long as he kept his face.
However, after Zhuge Ziqiong heard this, she fell silent for a long time.
Soon, spirit energy began to gather from her body!
It was spirit energy and not sanguine aura.
The zombies could only absorb sanguine aura and the essence of the sun and moon and it was impossible for them to absorb spirit energy. Thus, Zhuge Ziqiong absorbing spirit energy meant that she had already succeeded in learning the Heaven Amplification Six Dao Art.
Immediately after, the aura on Zhuge Ziqiong's body immediately began to increase.
First level of the Body Refining Realm, second level of the Body Refining Realm… Postnatal Realm… Connate Realm… Master Realm… She only stopped after reaching the Spirit Realm.
Hah!
Zhuge Ziqiong let out a breath of turbid air and opened her eyes with a gentle smile.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, for answering my doubts and making me… Eh? Where's Senior Brother?"
"Senior Brother, are you still there?"
"Where did Eldest Senior Brother go?"
…
On the other side, the atmosphere in the Ancient Ape Tribe's ancestral hall was solemn again.
The coffin in the ancestral hall had already increased from two to six.
In other words, six of Fang Aotian's women had already died.
His mood was very bad, and his eyes were scarlet red like blood and were filled with an extremely dense killing intent.
Originally, he had prepared to gather the experts of the Ancient Ape Tribe to form an extremely powerful team that could sweep through the Demon Sect.
Moreover, things were going well. Even one of the three top-notch experts under the Demon Sect's Demon Venerable, Elder Black Fiend, was killed.
However, he did not expect the Demon Sect to also change their strategy. They began to mobilize and disperse their troops. Moreover, they used various dirty tricks to escape after fighting.
Not to mention that the Ancient Ape Tribe could not capture anyone at all, they even suffered heavy casualties everywhere! This was because all the experts had been gathered together and the other teams did not have any experts presiding over them.
"Demon Sect! You asked for this! Even the heavens can't protect you if you dare to touch my women!"
Lu Yi stood not far from him with a concerned expression. Seeing him so furious, her heart ached.
"Aotian, don't be too sad. Even if my sisters die, they will still protect you in the heavens."

Chapter 181: The Storm Is Coming
"Lu Yi, pass down the order to gather everyone. I want to personally lead the army and fight the Demon Sect to the death."
Lu Yi took a deep breath, and her eyes lit up, filled with yearning.
Finally, was Brother Aotian going to attack personally?
With Brother Aotian making a move personally, the Ancient Ape Tribe was definitely going to win!
The Demon Sect would definitely lose!
However, just as she thought this, the next second, an Ancient Ape Tribe disciple rushed in from outside the ancestral hall.
"Chief, something bad has happened."
Fang Aotian swept his gaze coldly, and a cold light shot in all directions, making that disciple tremble in fear.
"What's with the panic?"
The other party replied with a trembling mouth with a trace of fear,
"The camp is in chaos. Many camps have begun to fall into chaos. For some reason, many sect disciples have begun to protect and kill each other."
"What did you say?"
Fang Aotian's pupils constricted. With a step, his body instantly teleported away and arrived at the closest camp of the Ancient Ape Tribe.
This place was formed by three different small sects.
However, at this moment, it was extremely chaotic.
"Kill!"
As soon as Fang Aotian arrived, a sect disciple chased after him with scarlet eyes.
Fang Aotian snorted and raised his hand to directly grab the other party's neck, lifting him up. No matter how the other party struggled, he was unable to escape from his palm.
He swept his divine sense over the other party, and his eyes instantly revealed confusion.
"Evil aura? Could this be someone from the Demon Sect? Could it be that someone from the Demon Sect disguised himself and mixed into my people? Wait, no, I've seen this person before. He was indeed a normal person previously and did not have any evil aura in his body. However, why is the evil aura in his body so dense now?"
Just as he was feeling puzzled, two figures flew over.
"Brother Aotian, we've already investigated. When we were recruiting previously, a few disciples from a pheasant sect mixed into our people and… did business with the people in the camp. The evil aura spread like wildfire, creating this situation today."
"What did you say?"
Fang Aotian could not believe his ears. This was simply ridiculous!
Another woman also said,
"It's true. It's not only this camp. Almost 90% of the other camps have been affected."
Fang Aotian immediately felt dizzy and staggered a few steps back. He was so furious that he almost vomited blood.
"The Demon Sect is actually so despicable. I, Fang Aotian, swear to destroy the Demon Sect!"
"Brother Aotian."
The two girls rushed forward from both sides and hugged Fang Aotian's arm.
"Big Brother Aotian, what should we do now?"
"Mobilize the elite team that I carefully assembled back from the front line and get them to temporarily stop the attack on the Demon Sect. Get rid of all the Demon Sect disciples in the various camps first."
"Alright, we'll arrange it immediately. Brother Aotian, you have to be careful of your body. If you can't take it, we won't live either."
Fang Aotian smiled coldly and caressed the curves of their backs.
"Don't worry, I won't be defeated so easily. If the Demon Sect wants to find trouble with me, they have to first see if they have the strength to do so."
The two girls were overjoyed. Since Fang Aotian said so, everything would definitely be okay!
This was because Long Aotian had never failed to deliver.
…
On the other side, in the Demon Sect's central command tent, Demon Venerable Ling Xinyue also woke up from her meditation.
Hah!
She heaved a sigh of relief again. Her eyes had already recovered their strength. With a casual glance from her, one could feel their hearts beat faster and not dare to look directly at her.
"Demon Venerable, you're finally awake."
Ling Xinyue nodded slightly.
"My strength has already recovered to the peak of the first level Supreme Realm. How's the situation at the frontline?"
"Demon Venerable, things are going smoothly on the front lines. In the few days that you were in seclusion to treat your injuries, we have already killed several teams. Among them are Fang Aotian's four women."
"Are the results that impressive?"
A slight surprise flashed in Ling Xinyue's eyes. Lu Xiaoran's strategy was really too useful, allowing the Demon Sect to gain a lot of advantage.
"I sense that there seems to be a lot more strength in the Demon Sect."
"Demon Venerable, it's because of the pheasant sects that are messing around in the Ancient Ape Tribe. They have spread a lot of evil aura, causing many cultivators to become evil cultivators. I reckon that the Ancient Ape Tribe is already in chaos now. Is this your arrangement, Demon Venerable? It's simply a stroke of genius."
Ling Xinyue could not help but be somewhat surprised.
She did not plan this.
She decided to not think about it. Perhaps those women went to the Ancient Ape Tribe themselves.
"After this, Fang Aotian will probably not let the matter rest. What's next might be a decisive battle. Get all the disciples to retreat."
You Lan could not help but be somewhat surprised.
"Demon Venerable, shouldn't we pursue such a good opportunity?"
Ling Xinyue shook her head.
If she had not met Lu Xiaoran, she might have given such an order. However, now that she had met Lu Xiaoran, some of her thoughts had already changed.
Even ordinary disciples of the Demon Sect were very valuable and their lives should not be wasted in vain.
It was possible for them to attack the Ancient Ape Tribe. However, if they faced Fang Aotian, they would only die.
Instead of letting them die, it was better to let them live.
This was because the Ancient Ape Tribe was not the only enemy of the Demon Sect.
It was very necessary to conserve their strength.
"The following battle is no longer something they can participate in. What comes next is a battle between experts."
You Lan's heart trembled and she immediately understood the Demon Venerable's meaning.
She was going to the battlefield herself.
"Alright, I'll get the disciples of the Demon Sect to retreat now."
Ling Xinyue nodded.
"After issuing the order, follow me to Heaven Cloud Mountain."
"Yes."
Before the true battle with Fang Aotian, Ling Xinyue still wanted to find Lu Xiaoran.
She wanted to obtain more confidence from Lu Xiaoran.
The two of them quickly arrived at the Heaven Cloud Mountain. Sensing the two of them coming, Lu Xiaoran also woke up from his seclusion.
"Where have you been the past few days? Why aren't you on the mountain?"
Ling Xinyue immediately bowed her head and said,
"My friend at the foot of the mountain encountered some trouble, so I went down the mountain to help resolve it."
"I didn't expect you to be so capable. You even have the ability to help others."
"It's just a small favor. It's not worth mentioning."
After a pause, Ling Xinyue continued, "Dad, you should have a lot of Martial Monarch Realm weapons, right?"
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
"That's right, I do have a few Martial Monarch Realm weapons."
"Then, can I borrow a few Martial Monarch Realm weapons?"
"Borrow? Are you joking with me?"
A trace of bitterness appeared in Ling Xinyue's heart.
Indeed, she was thinking too highly of herself. Even if she was really his biological daughter and had been acknowledged by him, how could he lend her something as precious as a Martial Monarch Realm weapon?
Looks like she was thinking too much.
However, in the next second, Lu Xiaoran's words made her instantly stunned.
"You're my daughter. What's mine is yours. What's there to borrow? Won't it be fine if I just give it to you?"
As he spoke, Lu Xiaoran took out two Martial Monarch Realm weapons from the Mountain and River State Painting.
One was a mid-grade Martial Monarch Realm sword.
The other was a low-grade Martial Monarch Realm armor.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoran had as many Martial Monarch Realm weapons as there were hairs on a cow. He did not care at all.
Moreover, he could also sense Ling Xinyue's goal from her tone.
She probably wanted to fight Fang Aotian to the death.
In this situation, Lu Xiaoran naturally had to support her fully.
When she and Fang Aotian fought to the death, hehehe… it would be the time for him to kill Fang Aotian!
Ling Xinyue did not expect Lu Xiaoran to be so generous to her. He actually directly gave her two Martial Monarch Realm weapons.
She suddenly felt that she should not have doubted her father just now.
She was simply too unfilial!
After obtaining the two Martial Monarch Realm weapons, Ling Xinyue immediately cupped her hands towards Lu Xiaoran and said,
"Thank you, Father."
"Yes, go. Be careful. If there's anything you can't handle, come and find me at any time. Although I've retired for many years, I can still help you vent your anger."
"Yes! I'll take my leave for now."
As he watched Ling Xinyue leave, the corner of Lu Xiaoran's mouth curled up slightly and he immediately began to set up a new array formation.
He had actually said those words on purpose for Ling Xinyue to hear.
Although Ling Xinyue had already obtained the two Martial Monarch Realm weapons he had bestowed her, Lu Xiaoran believed that she was definitely not a match for Fang Aotian.
If she fought with Fang Aotian, she would sooner or later retreat.
Moreover, she had killed so many of Fang Aotian's women in the past few days. Fang Aotian would definitely not let her off like the last time.
He would definitely chase after her.
As long as he came and stepped into the trap he had set up, it was impossible for him to escape even if he was a Golden Immortal.
Fortunately, he had previously thought of a way to obtain a large number of top-grade spirit stones from Ling Xinyue. He had long used up all his spirit stones and was unable to set up a grand array. Now, it was simply easy for him to set up a few more array formations.
The rest was up to his precious disciples.
…
The world continued to operate as usual. With Fang Aotian personally making a move, the Ancient Ape Tribe quickly killed all the mutated evil cultivators like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves and regrouped.
In a few days, almost all the cultivators from the sects who had joined the Ancient Ape Tribe were deeply shocked by Fang Aotian's strength.
He was clearly only a first level King Realm cultivator. but his strength was countless times more monstrous than ordinary King Realm cultivators!
He had even killed Madam Skeleton, the last of the three top-notch experts under the Demon Sect's Demon Venerable, in a domineering manner.
It had to be known that she was an expert at the first level of the Emperor Realm.
However, in Fang Aotian's hands, she was as weak as an ant.
After a few days of fighting, Fang Aotian had already established a god-like glory in everyone's hearts.
However, Fang Aotian was extremely aggrieved.
This was because it was impossible for him to not sense it.
The main force of the Demon Sect seemed to have disappeared. After killing Madam Skeleton, the others that they killed were simply trash.
A bad feeling gradually enveloped his heart, making him feel more and more depressed.

In the depths of the Great Zhou Royal Imperial Palace, Purple Yang Hall.
In the depths of the silence, the Great Zhou Emperor in the dragon robe sat on the dragon chair with a bent body.
A few more white strands had appeared on his temples. The battle for the crown prince had already entered the final moment. Tomorrow would be his son's final battle with Ji Wushang from the Purple Peace Imperial Palace.
Based on the current situation, if nothing unexpected happened, Ji Wushang would almost definitely obtain the final victory and become the new crown prince of the Great Zhou.
He did not know why Ji Wushang was so powerful and was able to break through to the Creation Realm in a few days.
However, he knew that once Ji Wushang ascended to the crown prince's position, it would be almost impossible for his bloodline to reclaim their former position in the Imperial Family.
After being reduced from the royal imperial bloodline to an imperial palace king bloodline, not only would they lose power, but they would also lose resources on the path of cultivation.
Without these resources, the status of his descendants would become lower and lower until they became ordinary people.
This was not an exaggeration. The Great Zhou had been established for ten thousand years. In this long period of time, the Imperial Family had almost never experienced any unrest. However, countless imperial palace bloodlines have faltered.
In fact, the descendants of some of the early imperial palace king bloodlines had already become commoners. Their cultivation levels were only a little stronger than ordinary people. In the Imperial City, these people were only able to obtain ordinary official positions.
If his bloodline lost the position of the crown prince, it would only take one or two thousand years for them to falter. His descendants might not even be able to maintain their imperial palace king bloodline status.
After another one or two thousand years or another three to four thousand years, his descendants would even become ordinary people. They would only be able to obtain insignificant official positions and nothing else.
"The Purple Peace Imperial Palace needs to be eradicated. At the very least, Ji Wushang needs to be eradicated."
Just as the emperor was feeling worried, a voice quietly landed in his ear, making his body suddenly tremble.
"Father."
In the depths of the Purple Yang Hall, an old man in a white golden robe slowly stepped out.
The Great Zhou Emperor immediately walked down from the dragon chair and cupped his hands.
"Father, why did you come out of the forbidden area?"
The Grand Imperial Sire swept his gaze over him and slowly walked up the steps towards the dragon chair.
"If I don't come out now, this bloodline will lose the throne."
The Great Zhou Emperor revealed a guilty expression.
"I'm useless and didn't teach Tianming well."
"This is not your fault. Tianming's talent is very good and he's also very hardworking. His cultivation is already very good. He only encountered a demon-level genius like Ji Wushang."
After a pause, he continued, "However, we can't let him take the throne."
The Great Zhou Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Father, do you mean…?"
"Tonight, I'll make a trip to the Purple Peace Imperial Palace."
"What? This won't do! Father, you're currently the Grand Elder of the Great Zhou Empire and definitely can't participate in this matter. If you participate, it's very likely that you'll be punished by the Elder Group. The Great Zhou Imperial Family has an ancestral rule. If they did not do anything wrong, no imperial bloodline is allowed to harm the other branches. If you don't do well, the Elder Group might even… kill you."
"So what?"
The Grand Imperial Sire smiled coldly and sat on the dragon chair, stroking the handle.
"I'm an Emperor Realm expert to begin with. The Great Zhou Elder Group won't be able to kill me so easily. At most, they'll imprison me. I'm also in seclusion all year round. There's no difference."
However, once Ji Wushang died, no one in the Great Zhou could resist Tianming. The Imperial Family would still be in our hands.
This is a deal that will only benefit us. No matter what, it will not be a loss for our Imperial Family. "
"Father."
The Great Zhou Emperor shouted with a trembling voice. He did not expect to have to sacrifice his father to tide through this danger.
However, his father was right. The throne could not be lost. They needed to firmly control it in their hands.
"Do you need me to do anything?"
"Of course. You're the Emperor of the Great Zhou. Right now, the entire array formation of the Great Zhou Imperial City is under your control. At midnight tonight, think of a way to activate the array formation of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace so that no one can enter or leave. As long as you can give me half an incense stick of time, it will be enough."
"Yes!"
The emperor knew very well that killing Ji Wushang was not that easy.
The old king behind the Purple Peace Imperial Palace was also an Emperor Realm expert. If he could not get through the old king, it would be impossible for him to kill Ji Wushang.
Moreover, the assassination time definitely could not be long. Otherwise, once the Elder Group appeared and several Emperor Realm experts attacked at the same time, how could the assassination be carried out?
In any case, as long as he killed the threat of Ji Wushang, the others would naturally go with the flow. No matter how angry the Elder Group was, there was nothing they could do. The future throne would definitely still belong to Tianming.
This was enough.
…
At the same time, on Lu Xiaoran's side, after a few days of waiting, his cultivation finally broke through.
Second level Supreme Realm!
He had already broken through to the Supreme Realm a few days ago and then broke through to the second level of the Supreme Realm.
This was all due to the hard work of the disciples. Because the time flow in the Mountain and River State Painting had been reduced, their duration of cultivation was equal to at least three months!
Three months was enough for them to break through many levels.
"I've finally become a Supreme Realm expert. Tsk tsk, I'm one step closer to the Martial Monarch Realm."
Lu Xiaoran smiled and shouted for Wang Cai.
"Wang Cai."
"Coming, coming, Master, I'm here."
"Open Yun Lige's information panel for me to see."
"Alright, Master. It's being generated."
Soon, Wang Cai generated the interface information of his disciples.
Firstly, Yun Lige had already reached the perfected tenth level of the Void Reversion Realm. He was only a step away from breaking through to the Creation Realm.
Wuxia had already broken through to the third level of the Creation Realm.
It seemed that the greater the difference in talent, the greater the difference in cultivation.
The further one progressed, the more things depended on talent.
Without talent, so what if you comprehended the perfected realm of the cultivation technique?
If one failed to comprehend the Martial Dao True Intent sufficiently, it would still be difficult for them to advance.
This was even after all his disciples had eaten the Divine Concentration Pill and the Martial Monarch Realm Soul Pill.
The Divine Concentration Pill increased their talent, and the Martial Monarch Realm Soul Pill increased their comprehension of martial arts.
Because of these two factors, they were able to advance quickly.
Fang Tianyuan was already at the seventh level of the Creation Realm. As for Li Changsheng, he had reached the Shattering Void Realm and was currently at the fifth level of the Shattering Void Realm.
The speed of their improvement was so fast that Lu Xiaoran could not help but be somewhat surprised.
In fact, according to normal logic, the higher one's cultivation level was, the slower their advancement speed would be.
However, Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng really went against common sense.
The speed of their improvement was actually faster than Yun Lige and Ji Wuxia.
Lu Xiaoran could not help but be puzzled.
In the end, after careful observation, Lu Xiaoran discovered a few things that were very strange.
The first was that Li Changsheng absorbed the spirit energy very quickly.. Lu Xiaoran vaguely noticed that this should be due to the Sword Soul in Li Changsheng's body.
The Sword Soul was at the God Realm and had already surpassed this world. Perhaps because of this, Li Changsheng's growth went against common sense and the increase in his strength was greater than Yun Lige despite him being at a higher level than Yun Lige.
The second was Fang Tianyuan.
Lu Xiaoran vaguely discovered that a purple ape phantom seemed to have vaguely appeared in Fang Tianyuan's body.
This shocked Lu Xiaoran.
This was because he could sense a power that transcended the mortal world from the little ape phantom. This meant that the little ape phantom was also at the God Realm.
Could it be another God Realm soul?
Could this divine soul be the reason why Fang Tianyuan's cultivation increased even faster than before when he was at a lower level?
"Wang Cai, are you still there?"
"Yes, yes, Master, I'm here."
"Why would a soul also be born in Fang Tianyuan's body? Isn't he a mortal?"
"This is because Master gave him the Divine Concentration Pill."
"But didn't you say that the Divine Concentration Pill is used to increase one's talent?"
"The Divine Concentration Pill is indeed used to increase one's talent. However, this so-called increase in talent of the Divine Concentration Pill is actually meant for one to develop a divine soul… However, this is only for the cultivators who have already shed their mortal bodies and evolved to become gods… To put it bluntly, as long as one's talent increases to a certain level, it will be very easy to activate the divine soul. If one's talent is insufficient, they will definitely be unable to condense a divine soul."
"I see."
Lu Xiaoran nodded.
It seemed that this divine soul was still very important.
Lu Xiaoran estimated that these were methods of the gods.
Ordinary humans might not be able to cultivate it even in the mortal world.
For example, Yun Lige and Ji Wuxia did not have these now.
However, this was also good. If Fang Tianyuan could condense a divine soul, it would be helpful for his cultivation and his advancement would be faster.
Moreover, if his cultivation advanced, Lu Xiaoran himself would also increase his strength.
This was a good deal.
In the end, Lu Xiaoran swept his gaze over Zhuge Ziqiong again.
This little girl's cultivation had also increased quite well. Previously, she had already reached the Spirit Realm. Now, she had already advanced to the first level of the Soul Refinement Realm. He felt that it would not be long before she surpassed Yun Lige again.
Sigh!
Poor Lige. He was really too tragic.
The new junior sister would also be able to look down on him.
Looks like in the future, he would really think of a way to get something good for Lige to help him advance.
Lu Xiaoran was really afraid that Yun Lige would not be able to take the blow and commit suicide one day.
"Alright, after reading the information, I can open the gift bags again."
Lu Xiaoran was somewhat excited.
He had obtained many gift bags this time. Moreover, his disciples' cultivation had increased so much, so he wondered if he would get more good things.
He received all the gift bags.
As usual, he opened the ordinary gift bags first.
Martial Monarch Realm Heart x10.
The heart of a Martial Monarch Realm expert could be used to refine a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm medicinal pill, the Martial Monarch Realm Heart Pill. After consuming it, it could increase one's cultivation, comprehension of the Martial Dao, and body strength. It could also be used to instantly treat injuries, recover spirit energy, and increase one's combat strength for a short period of time.
"Damn, I directly obtained ten Martial Monarch Realm hearts. This must be several kilograms in weight. I think I can refine a lot of medicinal pills with this."

Martial Monarch Realm formation, Primordial Sword Formation x1.
Divine Dao Spirit Stone x7.
Low-grade God Realm Blue Wolf Blade x1.
Top-grade Martial Monarch Realm Five Emperors Mark x1.
…
Indeed, as Lu Xiaoran had expected, there was a bunch of good stuff.
Moreover, some relatively low-level divine weapons could also be obtained from the small gift bag.
Next was the big gift bags.
Top-grade God Realm Auspicious Cloud Divine Lightning x1.
The Auspicious Cloud Divine Lightning could automatically search for treasures. As long as there were treasures, it would respond with lightning. By injecting a trace of spirit energy, one could activate its automatic treasure hunting ability.
"This thing is not bad. In the future, if anyone has a treasure, they won't be able to hide it from me."
Top-grade God Realm Five Elements Banner x1.
Top-grade God Realm Bloodthirsty Soul Slaying Saber x1.
Top-grade Martial Monarch Realm Martial Monarch Realm Blood Pill x12345.
God Realm Martial Dao True Intent x10.
A God Realm Martial Dao True Intent could be fused into a cultivation technique to increase the cultivation technique to the level of a God Realm cultivation technique.
Lu Xiaoran's eyes lit up. This thing was also really good. If this thing could increase Ji Wuxia and the others' cultivation techniques to the God Realm, it would be perfect. Their cultivation speed would definitely increase by another level.
"Master, you can't."
Just as Lu Xiaoran thought of this, Wang Cai stopped him immediately.
"Why, can't I use this?"
"Of course not. It's just that it can't be used in the mortal world. Every world has its own rules. If a God Realm item can be casually used in the mortal world, wouldn't it cause a world imbalance?
"Moreover, it's not only God Realm cultivation techniques. Divine weapons and God Realm array formations are also not to be used by disciples. Otherwise, they will all attract destructive divine punishment. "
Lu Xiaoran: "???"
"But how come I can use the Trinity True Eyes? Moreover, I can also use divine weapons."
"Master has my help to block the Heavenly Dao. This way, the rules of the Heavenly Dao don't apply to Master. As for the hot shots, they also have the protection of a huge luck. It's even possible that they're blessed by the Heavenly Dao and can also use certain items that break the rules."
Lu Xiaoran :"…"
Wasn't this equivalent to cheating? Moreover, wasn't this basically like cheating with the admin's permission?
At this moment, Lu Xiaoran felt bad.
He vaguely felt that his future was not very bright.
Others were official hackers, but he was an illegal hacker.
He felt inexplicably sad.
The treasure he had just obtained no longer seemed to be very alluring.
However, after a while, Lu Xiaoran figured it out.
A hot shot was originally destined to cheat. If he was not a hot shot but had Wang Cai to help him kill a hot shot, didn't that mean that he was no different from a hot shot?
"Alright, I better think about how to kill more hot shots."
If he could not get it, he would destroy it. If he was not a hot shot, he would become one.
In short, he will do anything to live to the end!
…
At night, near the Ancient Ape Tribe, Fang Aotian had just brought people to destroy a Demon Sect camp and many evil cultivators.
"Mighty chief!"
"Chief's divine might is peerless! Number one in all of history!"
The disciples of the various large sects immediately turned into bootlickers and began to suck up to Fang Aotian crazily.
Two days ago, a disciple from a small sect obtained a Heaven Realm medicinal pill and a Heaven Realm weapon because he was bootlicking Fang Aotian.
This was simply like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
From then on, many disciples of the sect worshiped Fang Aotian even more. Moreover, every time they had the chance, they would definitely suck up to Fang Aotian crazily.
In fact, this was only Fang Aotian's plan.
The Ancient Ape Tribe had really wasted too much energy dealing with the Demon Sect this time.
He had to think of a way to increase new recruits for the Ancient Ape Tribe.
He was originally very powerful, but what made him the strongest was not his own strength, but the strength of the people around him.
What he was best at was to use the equipment, medicinal pills, and cultivation techniques in the Ancient Bronze Hall to turn his subordinates to big shots.
By controlling these people and forming a huge force, he could ensure that he could live longer on this continent.
Moreover, he was also a person unwilling to admit defeat and would naturally not submit to the Great Zhou Imperial Family.
If he did not create an independent empire with his Ancient Bronze Hall, wouldn't he be wasting this treasure the heavens had blessed him with?
Perhaps in the future, if he cultivated to the Martial Monarch Realm, he could even spread out his empire and rule over all living beings!
In order to realize this plan as soon as possible, he needed a group of loyal subordinates.
He was not afraid that these people's talent was not high because he had many means to increase their strength.
To put it bluntly, as long as he could gather a lot of subordinates, it was enough.
However, just as his subordinates were celebrating, a sense of danger suddenly attacked Fang Aotian's heart, making his heart skip a beat.
"Something's wrong. Everyone, retreat immediately."
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Moreover, these people's cultivation was simply not enough, so they had no chance to dodge at all.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the next moment, violent explosions suddenly began to erupt on the ground.
Before anyone could react, they were directly blasted into the sky.
"Bastard!"
Fang Aotian's eyes instantly turned blood red, his eyes filled with killing intent!
At this moment, if he still did not understand that he had been tricked, he would have lived his entire life in vain.
"Ling Xinyue, get the hell out!"
With a shout, his voice was like thunder, resounding in a radius of dozens of kilometers.
In response, a sword beam slashed down from the sky.
Boom!
This sword beam landed directly on Fang Aotian's body. On the spot, it exploded into a dazzling ball of light that illuminated the night sky.
After that, the energy light wave rushed out again with a speed that surpassed the speed of sound, instantly blasting the entire camp again.
The ground trembled. Before the wave subsided, another wave rose.
A moment later, a figure suddenly shot out from the light ball below. It was Fang Aotian.
The clothes on his body had already shattered, but his body was covered in a faint golden armor.
The dignity emitted from it that made one's heart palpitate indicated that it was a Martial Monarch Realm armor!
Fang Aotian stood in midair, staring fixedly at Ling Xinyue in front of him.
"Ling Xinyue, you sure have some moves. You actually used your subordinates to set up a trap to deceive me. You want to capture me and my subordinates in one fell swoop? Unfortunately, you think too highly of yourself."
Ling Xinyue's gaze was cold as she looked at the man in front of her with a solemn expression. His cultivation was two entire realms lower than hers.
It was this man who had almost killed her in the past. Therefore, she no longer dared to be careless.
"That can't be helped. After all, you're the dignified chief of the Ancient Ape Tribe, Fang Aotian. If I don't try harder, how can I beat you?"
Fang Aotian sneered.
"It's the same even if you try hard. If you oppose me, you're destined to die."
As he spoke, Fang Aotian had already taken out a huge dragon pattern saber.
The aura emitted from it indicated that it was also a Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
Without saying much, with a thought, Fang Aotian held the large ring saber and slashed at Ling Xinyue.
Ling Xinyue also immediately responded. With the Martial Monarch Realm weapon in hand, sparks appeared from her sword as swung her hand, sending a sword beam that collided with Fang Aotian's saber beam.
Boom!
In the sky, another huge light exploded. The shock wave tore a huge hole in the clouds, making the moon in the sky appear especially bright.
"I was wondering why you dared to fight me. It turns out that you found a Martial Monarch Realm weapon."
Fang Aotian was not surprised that Ling Xinyue had a Martial Monarch Realm weapon in her hand.
Firstly, Ling Xinyue's status was honorable and she was a Demon Venerable of the holy Demon Sect. What was so strange about her having a Martial Monarch Realm weapon?
Secondly, he himself had way too many Martial Monarch Realm weapons to use. Therefore, when he saw the other party's Martial Monarch Realm weapon, he felt as if he was looking at cabbages.
"However, do you think you can defeat me with a Martial Monarch Realm weapon? Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?"
As he spoke, Fang Aotian took out another Martial Monarch Realm weapon and used two Martial Monarch Realm weapons to resist Ling Xinyue.
Ling Xinyue was not weak and also held her Martial Monarch Realm weapon as she fought Fang Aotian.
The two of them did not speak any more nonsense. The battle directly entered the climax. Every move they made was made with the intent to kill.
This world was quickly covered by light.
Thunderous sounds erupted from the light ball. Countless living beings and cultivators were frightened far away when they saw this. Some even immediately fled when they heard the sound and did not dare to approach.
…
At this moment, it was already late at night.
In the Great Zhou Imperial City, all the lights had long been extinguished.
The entire Great Zhou Imperial City fell into darkness and silence.
However, in this darkness, a black figure borrowed the cover of the night sky to slowly step down and directly land in the Purple Peace Imperial Palace.
The moment he descended, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the forbidden area in the backyard of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace.
A moment later, that aura broke through everything and instantly arrived in the courtyard.
"Ji Shangrong, why are you here instead of staying in your Royal Imperial Palace's forbidden area?"
Ji Shangrong was neither shocked nor happy. His expression was very calm, as if he had long expected this scene.
With his hands behind his back, he stood proudly. He looked at the old man in front of him who was similar in age to him and smiled.
"I haven't seen you in a long time. I wanted to come and chat with you. Oh yeah, I also wanted to see if Seventh Brother's cultivation has deteriorated in the past few years."
"Then there's no need for you to worry, Grand Imperial Sire. I can resolve my cultivation problem myself. There's no need for others to interfere."
As he spoke, many people in the Imperial Palace had already discovered the abnormality and were gathering over.
"Grandpa, who is this senior?"

"It's none of your business. Go back to your room."
The old king berated, but the Grand Imperial Sire, Ji Shangrong, looked at the other party with interest. His eyes flickered with a green light, as if he had discovered a prey.
"Hehehehehe… If I'm not wrong, this is Ji Wushang, right? Indeed, heroes come from youth. At such a young age, he has already reached the Creation Realm. Even at my age back then, with the resources of the Imperial Family, I was unable to reach this level.
"Seventh Brother, you're so lucky to have such a monstrous grandson. "
Hearing this, both Ji Wushang's expression and the expressions of the others present instantly changed slightly.
Everyone was not stupid. Hearing this, if they still could not guess the other party's identity, they could forget about living.
The person in front of him was none other than the Grand Imperial Sire, Ji Shangrong.
An Emperor Realm expert!
Moreover, he was not like the ordinary Emperor Realm experts of the various imperial palaces. Instead, he was a late-stage Emperor Realm expert!
Thinking of this, everyone naturally thought of why he had come here.
He wanted to kill Ji Wushang!
Ji Wushang was about to fight the Crown Prince Ji Tianming tomorrow. According to the cultivation the two of them had displayed at this moment, if nothing unexpected happened, Ji Wushang had a 99% chance of winning.
Therefore, it was almost certain that the current Ji Wushang would become the crown prince of the Great Zhou.
How could the current Imperial Family tolerate this?
The old king said coldly, "Ji Shangrong, you're not welcome here. Leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
The Grand Imperial Sire chuckled and took a step. An astral wind directly spread out. Then, with lightning speed, he directly sent several people flying on the spot.
"Ah!"
Screams sounded one after another, but no one in the Purple Peace Imperial Palace dared to resist. Or rather, no one dared to go against him.
After all, he was an Emperor Realm expert.
"Why don't you let me experience your rudeness?"
"You're courting death!"
The old king spat out his cold voice. Then, with a soft shout, his body instantly rushed in front of the other party and suddenly punched.
The Grand Imperial Sire was clearly not someone to be trifled with. He stood on the spot and also threw a punch to resist the old king's punch.
Boom!
The two fists collided, causing a huge explosion in the air.
According to the normal explosion rules, the main explosion should come from the center of the two of them. After all, the two of them had already spread their spirit energy aura. Their energy auras were basically like two small mountains that were set up to resist the shock wave from the explosion.
However, unfortunately, Ji Shangrong's strength clearly surpassed the old king's. Therefore, after exchanging fists with Ji Shangrong, the old king's body could not help but retreat several steps. With every step, a huge pit appeared in the ground. At the same time, spiderweb-like cracks quickly spread in all directions.
"Hehehehe… Seventh Brother, looks like you haven't been cultivating well enough these years."
The Grand Imperial Sire smiled spuriously, and his eyes even revealed a proud and disdainful expression.
It was as if the old king was inferior to him.
"Father!"
King Zining immediately rushed over, his face filled with seriousness and anxiety.
"Father, what's going on? Why is the Grand Imperial Sire here?"
The old king snorted.
"Nonsense, of course I'm here to kill Wushang. Otherwise, would he have come to discuss life with us in the middle of the night?"
"What?"
King Zining's expression immediately turned ugly.
"Grand Imperial Sire, aren't you afraid that the elders will blame you for doing this? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to bear the consequences?"
Ji Shangrong smiled calmly.
"Bear the consequences? Who do you think is going to punish me? You? Or those people who only know how to sit idly by?"
After a pause, he continued, "I don't want to find too much trouble. Hand Ji Wushang over. I guarantee that I will definitely not harm the Purple Peace Imperial Palace in the future. Otherwise… if anyone dies tonight, don't put the blame on me."
The old king spat.
"Stop pretending here. I admit that your cultivation level is higher than mine. However, don't forget that this is the Imperial City. There's an Elder Group here. This matter is not up to your Imperial Family to decide."
He knew better than anyone why the Grand Imperial Sire, Ji Shangrong, was doing this. His goal was to protect Ji Tianming and create a path to the heavens for him.
Even if he really killed Ji Wushang and violated the rules of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, he would not be killed. At most, he would only be punished severely.
The Great Zhou Imperial Family would not be stupid enough to kill another Emperor Realm expert after another expert has been killed. That would be no different from cutting off the right hand of the Imperial Family.
As long as Ji Wushang died and no one fought with Ji Tianming for the crown prince position, it would be fine.
Moreover, in the future, once Ji Tianming became the emperor, he would receive even more resources. In the future, when he sat on the throne, he would cultivate to the Emperor Realm to ensure that the current Imperial Family bloodline could be passed on.
However, the more the other party wanted to take the risk to kill Ji Wushang, the more the old king wanted to protect Ji Wushang.
This meant that the position of the emperor above was just that alluring.
It was so alluring that the Grand Imperial Sire did not hesitate to risk his life!
"In that case, there's nothing to discuss."
The Grand Imperial Sire smiled coldly and stomped his foot. His body immediately turned into a stream of light and instantly disappeared from his spot.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of the old king.
"Not good!"
The old king hurriedly threw a move to resist the Grand Imperial Sire. The two of them were both forced back. The Grand Imperial Sire only retreated a few steps, but the old king was forced back dozens of steps. His face was even red, and his blood surged violently, almost unable to help but cough.
He was not stupid and knew that he was not Ji Shangrong's match.
"Zining, quickly bring Wushang to the Great Zhou Imperial Mausoleum. There are members of the Elder Group there. As long as he gets there and has the Elder Group holding the fort, no matter how bold this guy is, he won't dare to injure Wushang at all."
"That's not possible. When I first arrived, I discovered that the array formation of the Imperial Palace had already been activated. No one can leave."
The old king's pupils constricted. He had already guessed that it was the Emperor of the Great Zhou who did this!
The Great Zhou Emperor controlled all the array formations in the entire Imperial City. Only he was able to remotely control the array formations of the imperial palaces. Moreover, they would be unable to undo them from the imperial palaces.
Ji Shangrong smiled.
"Are you very surprised? Do you think I would have come directly if I didn't have a plan? After all, this is the Imperial City. If anything happens, the Elder Group will discover it."
"Despicable!"
The old king spat and was filled with contempt. However, it also made him covet that position even more.
He had to obtain the throne!
"Zining, go and protect Wushang. No matter what, we can't let anything happen to him. Even if the Purple Peace Imperial Palace has already been sealed by the array formation, the Elder Group will still discover something abnormal over time. We just have to hold on for a while."
"Yes!"
King Zining immediately turned around to protect his son.
"It's useless. Since I've come here, I'm naturally already prepared. Today, I definitely have to kill Ji Wushang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his right hand and summoned a long sword with a dragon mark on it.
The moment he saw the sword, the old king's pupils suddenly constricted.
It was one of the five Martial Monarch Realm weapons left behind by the Founding Emperor of the Great Zhou. It was the Mad Dragon Sword.
The other party's cultivation was originally above his. Now that the other party was wielding the Mad Dragon Sword, the old king was afraid that he would really be doomed this time.
However, even so, he still had to protect Ji Wushang with his life. He had to protect the Purple Peace Imperial Palace and his descendants.
To him, obtaining the throne was more important than his life.
Even if he was already an Emperor Realm expert!
Just as King Zining retreated to the other courtyards and arrived beside his son, a dazzling light erupted from his back. Then, a storm surged as a shock wave spread crazily.
Originally, if the shock wave spread in all directions, the force would have been a little weaker. However, because the entire Imperial Palace was surrounded by the array formation, the shock wave was contained.
Therefore, after the shock wave encountered the array formation, it would bounce back and not a trace of aura would be able to escape.
This was also why the Grand Imperial Sire had his son, the Great Zhou Emperor, activate the array formation of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace.
He had done this to prevent this matter from being discovered. He wanted to completely destroy the Purple Peace Imperial Palace and kill Ji Wushang without anyone knowing.
The violent wind was wanton and the powerful shock wave even made King Zining, a King Realm expert, unable to resist. His body shook incessantly in the storm. He could only grit his teeth and endure. The spirit energy in his body flowed crazily, and the circulation speed of his cultivation technique reached the peak.
Emperor Realm experts were simply too terrifying!
Just the shock wave from the battle alone was already too much for King Zining to endure.
Of course, the main reason was that he was standing too close!
At such a close distance, the fluctuation was basically at its strongest. It was already very lucky for him to not vomit blood.
As a King Realm expert, it was already somewhat difficult for King Zining to resist, let alone the others from the Purple Peace Imperial Palace.
Many people with low cultivation were swept into ashes by the shock wave on the spot, not even leaving behind a trace of blood.
As for the buildings, they were directly destroyed by the battle between the two Emperor Realm experts.
Ji Wushang looked forward from his father's side. The two Emperor Realm experts were so fast that their figures could no longer be seen.
However, he could sense that his grandfather was currently at a disadvantage.
They could not just continue to wait like this. The Grand Imperial Sire was too powerful. If this continued, the Purple Peace Imperial Palace would not be able to last until help arrived.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth as if he had made an important decision.
"Father, bring me to my sister's courtyard immediately. Quick!"
"Ah?"

King Zining looked at his son in confusion. He did not know why his son said that.
"What for?"
"Stop asking. We don't have much time. Hurry up and do as I say."
"Alright!"
Although King Zining did not know why, he knew that his son was no longer someone he could control.
Now, other than cultivation level, his son had already completely surpassed him in all aspects.
King Zining quickly brought him to Ji Wuxia's courtyard. Without saying a word, Ji Wushang immediately took out a top-grade spirit stone from his storage ring and placed it in the array core.
Lu Xiaoran had told him before that there was an array formation here in order to prevent any trouble from happening one day. He was told that if there was something he couldn't resolve, he could come and hide here.
When the array formation was activated, the aura of the Martial Monarch Realm formation burst out, attracting several lightning bolts under the night sky.
"Damn!"
King Zining's eyes widened. He did not expect that there would actually be a Martial Monarch Realm formation here. Moreover, from the aura, there were actually two of them?
What a joke!
It had to be known that the entire Great Zhou Imperial City itself was surrounded by a chain of Martial Monarch Realm formations.
Building a Martial Monarch Realm formation on top of another Martial Monarch Realm formation was unrealistic.
Unless the other party built the formation array underneath.
In this way, the skills required to pull that off needed to be extraordinary.
One would need to quietly disassemble the original chain array. Then, after setting up two array formations below, that person would also need to repair the original chain array of the Imperial City.
The other party was basically like a modern day medical surgeon, capable of conducting minimally invasive painless surgery techniques to transplant a patient's organs.
It was extremely difficult!
That was why King Zining was so shocked!
"This… Could this Martial Monarch Realm formation be the work of Wuxia's master?"
Ji Wushang nodded.
"It's indeed made by Senior Lu. However, this array formation is a little rough. I think Senior Lu probably just casually set it up and definitely didn't use his full strength. His array formation skills are far superior from this."
King Zining's face could not help but twitch fiercely.
What kind of joke was this?
This level of array formation was already extremely heaven-defying.
Other than him, there was probably no other array master of this level in the entire Great Zhou. In the end, his son actually told him that this was done casually by Lu Xiaoran and that he did not use his full strength?
Heavens, wasn't this guy simply too heaven-defying?
Moreover, what was even more terrifying was that he had been unaware this whole time!
He had only learned that Lu Xiaoran was very powerful after the trial of the Ancient Forbidden Area. However, at that time, he only simply thought that Lu Xiaoran's strength was very powerful. Never would he be able to guess that the other party's attainments in array formations was actually also so powerful!
This guy was no longer human.
He was definitely not human.
However, a moment later, King Zining heaved a sigh of relief and revealed an excited expression.
"This is good. With the Martial Monarch Realm formation obstructing the other party, we should be able to stall for even longer."
"That's not right. These two array formations are both reduction array formations. It's impossible for them to resist him. He has a Martial Monarch Realm weapon. It's only a matter of time before he breaks through the array."
"No… no way?"
King Zining swallowed. Just as he finished speaking, he saw his father, the old king of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace, fly to the side with a violent explosion behind him. His body was already covered in injuries, and his entire spirit was dispirited to the extreme.
Clearly, he had already been defeated.
"Father!"
King Zining clenched his fists tightly, but he was helpless. After all, he was only at the King Realm. In the entire Great Zhou, although he could also be considered an expert, he was simply an ant in front of the Grand Imperial Sire, who had an Emperor Realm cultivation and a Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
To put it bluntly, he was not even qualified to carry the other party's shoes.
At this moment, the Grand Imperial Sire also slowly arrived beside the two of them. He looked at the Martial Monarch Realm formation and was suddenly somewhat stunned.
"Hmph! I didn't expect your residence to have some capable people who can actually create two Martial Monarch Realm array formations. Unfortunately, this array formation is unable to resist me at all. In front of me, it's not worth mentioning at all."
Ji Wushang smiled coldly.
"You're right, but I don't have any hope of relying on these two Martial Monarch Realm formations to stop you."
"Yes?"
Ji Shangrong's eyebrows raised slightly. In the next moment, he saw Ji Wushang give him the middle finger. Then, he took out a holy weapon sword and stabbed his own heart.
"Yes?"
Ji Shangrong's pupils constricted as he looked at this scene in disbelief. King Zining was so frightened that his face was as pale as wax.
"Wushang, what are you doing? You can't die!"
"It hurts! Hiss!"
Ji Wushang gasped and immediately gritted his teeth.
"Stop shaking my sword! It will open my wound."
Only then did King Zining notice that he had lost his composure for a moment. At this moment, he was shaking the sword that was stuck in his son's body.
However, he quickly reacted.
"But why are you trying to commit suicide?"
"You don't understand. Protect me. This array formation will reduce the other party's combat strength by a portion. You're at the King Realm. You can fight him for a while. Buy me a little time."
In fact, this was Ji Wushang's method of fighting to survive.
With the combat strength of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace alone, they were definitely unable to resist an expert like Ji Shangrong.
Therefore, Ji Wushang could only find a backup.
This reinforcement was none other than Lu Xiaoran.
Lu Xiaoran had previously placed a mark in his body.
As long as his life was threatened, the mark would be triggered. In that case, Lu Xiaoran could sense it.
This was Ji Wushang's goal.
He wanted to use suicide to seek help from Lu Xiaoran.
Of course, he did not know if Lu Xiaoran could come in time or not. He also did not know if he could still live after Lu Xiaoran came.
However, if Lu Xiaoran did not come, he would definitely die.
In order to survive, he could only risk his life.
He prayed desperately that Lu Xiaoran would sense his injuries and come to save him in the Purple Peace Imperial Palace.
"Alright!"
Although King Zining did not understand, he knew that his son was the number one genius of the Great Zhou for thousands of years. He would definitely not do something meaningless and uncertain.
Ji Shangrong shook his head.
"Although I don't know what you're doing! However, such a diversionary tactic won't confuse me. Today, I won't stop until I burn your bones and scatter your ashes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Shangrong stepped into the array formation.
…
At the same time, on Lu Xiaoran's side, he sensed that Ling Xinyue and Fang Aotian had already started fighting. He also began to do a final check on the array formation.
He knew very well that even if he had a divine weapon, he could not be too careless.
Just as Wang Cai had said, he could use the divine weapon, but so could the hot shots.
Those with great luck were originally favored by the heavens.
Therefore, he was not sure if the other party also had a divine weapon.
This mutated version of Long Aotian was very powerful. He could not be careless.
Therefore, he had to set up multiple defenses.
Lu Xiaoran was very cautious. In order to prevent the other party from using special methods to break the array formation, he even spread out a few array formations to scatter the array core, even if it cost him several times more spirit stones.
After all, Fang Aotian was a ruthless person who dared to detonate a Martial Monarch Realm weapon!
It was better to have a few backup moves prepared when facing such a ruthless person.
After doing all of this, Lu Xiaoran clapped and the corner of his mouth curled up.
"Alright, the trap is already prepared. Now I just have to wait for the fish to swim in."
After doing all of this, Lu Xiaoran summoned his precious disciples.
"Greetings, Master."
Everyone bowed to Lu Xiaoran in unison.
"We're about to attack Fang Aotian, so stop cultivating and prepare."
"Yes!"
Everyone replied in unison, especially Fang Tianyuan, who was the most excited.
After all, the one they were about to kill was his mortal enemy!
Then, Lu Xiaoran took out a few Martial Monarch Realm armor and a few Martial Monarch Realm weapons.
"You've all been cultivating very hard recently. In order to reward you, I prepared a Martial Monarch Realm weapon for you this time instead of a Saint Realm weapon. Those who don't have Martial Monarch Realm weapons, come now and receive them immediately."
Hearing this, Ji Wuxia immediately returned the Primordial Chaos Battle God Spear to Yun Lige.
"Eldest Senior Brother, this is the Primordial Chaos Battle God Spear you lent me to play with. I'm done playing with it. Take it back."
With that said, she immediately jogged over and fought with Fang Tianyuan and Li Changsheng to be the first to pick the Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
Yun Lige was stunned on the spot.
His junior sister was getting more and more cunning.
Fortunately, he had gotten his Martial Monarch Realm weapon back.
He only felt that it was a little hot and soft. It was not as cold and hard as before!
"That's strange. Where did Junior Sister put it? Although this Martial Monarch Realm weapon of mine can expand and shrink it, it's still impossible for her to put it into her soul, right?"
Looking at her junior sister beside him, Zhuge Ziqiong was already dumbfounded.
Even though she had already been impressed by Lu Xiaoran's strength countless times, she still could not help but feel shocked when she saw this scene.
Wasn't this too abnormal?
The other party had instantly taken out a large number of Martial Monarch Realm weapons. How were other people supposed to live if they saw this scene?
It had to be known that the entire Great Zhou Empire probably did not have this many Martial Monarch Realm weapons.
Lu Xiaoran also handed her two Martial Monarch Realm weapons. One of them was the Six Dao Reincarnation Disk that was used in conjunction with her cultivation technique. The other was the low-grade Martial Monarch Realm Ghost Emperor Armor that he had obtained from opening the gift bag previously.
"Ziqiong, take these two. This is your first time participating in a battle, so you don't have to risk your life. You just have to watch the battle from behind them. You still have to prioritize your own safety."
Zhuge Ziqiong nodded and immediately asked curiously, "Master, you've given us so many Martial Monarch Realm weapons. What are you going to use?"
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand.
"Of course I'll let you guys use the good stuff. My cultivation level is higher. I'll just use some ordinary stuff."
If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.
Report chapter
Zhuge Ziqiong's heart trembled as a warm feeling surged out. Her eyes were slightly red.
What a selfless master. He had given the best weapons to his disciples and he himself was using the most ordinary things.
What a good master she had found!
Lu Xiaoran instructed Yun Lige, "When the fight starts in a while, pay attention to protecting your junior sister. After all, your cultivation level is higher than hers."
"Yes! Don't worry, Master. I'll definitely protect Junior Sister well."
Lu Xiaoran nodded and then went to guide Fang Tianyuan and the others to give them their battle plan.
For example, he needed to make sure everyone knew who would be controlling the array formation, who was in charge of the main battle, who was in charge of backup and feints, and who was in charge of guidance.
As for him, he naturally had to be in charge of setting up the array formation outside to prevent the other party from escaping.
"Among these Martial Monarch Realm formations I set up, there are attack formations and support formations. They can increase your cultivation and also reduce the other party's ability to fight opponents with higher realms at the same time."
According to my initial estimation, you guys can increase your cultivation by a lot with this array formation. For example, it shouldn't be a problem for Tianyuan to reach the tenth level of the Shattering Void Realm. Changsheng should be able to break through to the King Realm.
As for Fang Aotian, in this array formation, his ability to fight someone two realm levels higher would be completely suppressed. In other words, he would be no different from an ordinary first level King Realm expert.
However, don't be too careless. This is because even if he can't fight those at a higher level, he still has the support of his Martial Monarch Realm weapon. "
Seeing Lu Xiaoran working tirelessly and teaching his disciples seriously in the distance, Zhuge Ziqiong could not help but sigh.
"I'm really lucky to have such a master."
Yun Lige nodded.
"That's right. Master is the best to us."
"I really can't imagine how I could be so lucky to encounter such a good master. After all, Master lets us use Martial Monarch Realm weapons while he himself uses an ordinary weapon."
Yun Lige was silent for a moment.
"Um… Junior Sister, Master is indeed very good to us, but I think you might be thinking too much when it comes to certain aspects."
Zhuge Ziqiong could not help but tilt her head and look at him in confusion.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you speak so strangely."
"It's nothing, really. Um, take for example the word 'ordinary'. If it comes from our mouths, the word "ordinary" would literally mean "ordinary". If it comes from Master's mouth, it would no longer carry the meaning of "ordinary". Just remember this."
Zhuge Ziqiong was even more puzzled. She really did not understand Yun Lige's meaning at all.
Could it be that Master had something better?
It shouldn't be. He had already given them top-grade Martial Monarch Realm items. How could there be anything better than a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm item?
Of course, Zhuge Ziqiong was not ignorant. She had heard of the God Realm before.
However, it should be impossible for her master to have a weapon of that level, right?
This was only natural. Otherwise, wouldn't her master be an extraordinary expert who had already entered the God Realm?
Just as Lu Xiaoran was explaining the tactics to his disciples, he suddenly frowned.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Ji Wuxia asked in confusion.
Lu Xiaoran said with a solemn expression,
"Something has happened in the Imperial City."
"What? Is it my father and the others?"
Ji Wuxia's expression changed and she suddenly became anxious.
Lu Xiaoran consoled, "You don't have to be anxious. Fang Aotian is still fighting Ling Xinyue. I'll go and take a look first. The few of you, pay attention and cooperate well."
"Yes!"
As he spoke, he had already activated the Heaven-Breaking Shuttle and activated a spatial jump.
Actually, at this critical moment, he should not have left. However, he could sense that Ji Wushang was about to die.
After Ji Wushang died, the Great Zhou Imperial Family would definitely find trouble with the Purple Peace Imperial Palace. Ji Wuxia would also not be able to avoid it.
Another problem was that he had the Body Modeling Mark. He had already gathered the soul intent and blood essence of all the disciples. Even if something really happened to them, he could still revive them.
This was the main reason why he decided to return to the Imperial City to save them.
Otherwise, no matter how important Ji Wushang was, it was impossible for him to leave his precious disciples here and rush back to save Ji Wushang.
…
At this moment, near the Ancient Ape Tribe, Ling Xinyue and Fang Aotian were fighting each other.
Ling Xinyue was a first level Supreme Realm expert. Moreover, she held a Martial Monarch Realm weapon and was wearing a Martial Monarch Realm armor.
Fang Aotian was at the first level of the King Realm, but he seemed to have a secret technique that could increase his combat strength in a short period of time as well as medicinal pills.
He also had two more Martial Monarch Realm weapons. Therefore, when the two sides fought, he was actually not at a disadvantage at all.
This made Ling Xinyue almost vomit blood.
At this moment, she finally sensed how terrifying and true the theory of the so-called hot shots was.
This was because no one would dare to imagine that a first level King Realm expert would actually be evenly matched with a first level Supreme Realm expert!
It was simply unbelievable!
In a battle between experts, the outcome of the battle could easily change in an instant. However, the battle between the two of them lasted for an entire incense stick of time. This was enough to prove that Ling Xinyue had failed to gain the upper hand in such a long period of time and also was unable to grasp any opportunity.
Seeing that the battle's intensity was being maintained, Ling Xinyue suddenly pretended to make a mistake to bait Fang Aotian into attacking.
"It's over!"
Fang Aotian sneered and rushed forward with his left spear to restrain the Martial Monarch Realm weapon in Ling Xinyue's hand. He raised the weapon on his left hand high in the air and condensed a huge amount of spirit energy, instantly sucking the surroundings into a vacuum. The spirit energy was so dense that it even made the Martial Monarch Realm saber emit an extremely dazzling silver light.
The saber beam let out a long roar and quickly spread more than ten thousand meters into the sky.
If this saber slashed down, Ling Xinyue would undoubtedly suffer a lot of injuries.
This was even when she had the Martial Monarch Realm armor protecting her body!
In a battle of this level, any small factor could lead to a complete loss.
However, just as Fang Aotian thought that he was about to defeat Ling Xinyue, a ruthless expression suddenly flashed in Ling Xinyue's eyes.
Then, she raised her left hand, and a black lotus flower appeared in her palm. It was the Martial Monarch Realm weapon she inherited from the Demon Sect.
Previously, in order to protect herself, Ling Xinyue had used this weapon to block the explosion of the Martial Monarch Realm weapon. At this moment, the weapon had already been somewhat destroyed. Now, Ling Xinyue directly took out this Martial Monarch Realm weapon and detonated it at a close distance.
Boom!
With a violent explosion, light illuminated the entire world.
The explosion lasted for dozens of breaths before slowly stopping. A huge mushroom cloud rose in the world, blocking the light of the stars in the sky.
After a long time, the dust on the ground finally slowly settled and some outlines could gradually be seen.
"Ahem…"
Ling Xinyue coughed lightly and said,
"This Fang Aotian's methods are indeed extraordinary. However, fortunately, I asked Father for two Martial Monarch Realm weapons."
If it were before, Ling Xinyue would definitely not be willing to detonate her Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
This was because Ling Xinyue only had one Martial Monarch Realm weapon. After all, how precious was a Martial Monarch Realm weapon? Who would be willing to detonate a Martial Monarch Realm weapon? Even if one had to die, they still might not be willing to let their Martial Monarch Realm weapon be damaged at all.
However, now, it was already different. With Lu Xiaoran supporting her, Ling Xinyue easily obtained two Martial Monarch Realm weapons. In this way, she no longer cared so much about Martial Monarch Realm weapons.
Another reason why she was unwilling to detonate the Martial Monarch Realm weapon was because this move was extremely powerful and was not easy to control. Even though Ling Xinyue was a Supreme Realm expert, she did not dare to casually detonate the Martial Monarch Realm weapon. Previously, she had been severely injured by the Martial Monarch Realm weapon that Fang Aotian detonated and had relied on her low-grade Martial Monarch Realm weapon to resist a lot.
It was even to the extent that her Martial Monarch Realm weapon had been greatly damaged.
Only after obtaining the Martial Monarch Realm armor from Lu Xiaoran did she finally dare to detonate the Martial Monarch Realm weapon at a close range.
Only with the defensive ability of the Martial Monarch Realm armor could she ensure that she would not be injured.
However!
Just as Ling Xinyue relaxed a little, a huge force suddenly appeared behind her.
"Not good!"
Ling Xinyue had just sensed this terrifying power and was blasted away on the spot before she could defend herself!
Bang!
The huge force made Ling Xinyue smash through six mountains in succession. A crack also appeared on the Martial Monarch Realm armor.
A moment later, a beam of light flashed quickly and followed the tunnels of the penetrated mountains to arrive in front of Ling Xinyue.
Sensing an extremely powerful killing intent approaching, Ling Xinyue did not dare to be careless at all. She immediately circulated the spirit energy in her body and raised her Martial Monarch Realm weapon to resist Fang Aotian.
Boom!
The two Martial Monarch Realm weapons collided. The huge force made Ling Xinyue's arm tremble until she was numb. The force entered the ground and directly caused the ground to crack. In less than two seconds, the rocks in a radius of 20,000 meters shattered, revealing an abyss hundreds of meters deep.
Ling Xinyue gasped for breath as her huge mountain rose and fell. Her eyes stared fixedly at Fang Aotian.
Half of her body had already been blasted into ashes by him. She could even see the beating heart inside. It was still filled with life.
"Are you very shocked? You slut, do you really think that I, Fang Aotian, am only arrogant and stupid?
Did you really think that I would only rely on a Martial Monarch Realm weapon to fight a Supreme Realm expert?
Let me tell you, I've long consumed a Martial Monarch Realm Pill!
In an hour, even if my body was only left with a finger, I would still be able to revive in an extremely short period of time.
So what if he was a Supreme Realm expert? So what if you guys are the Demon Sect?
If the heavens want me to die, I dare to destroy the heavens!
If the earth wants to kill me, I dare to destroy it!
In this world, whoever dared to oppose Fang Aotian would die!
As long as I, Fang Aotian, am around, even the heavens and the earth will not dare to offend me!
Those who disobey my will will die 3,000 times!
Die! "
Fang Aotian shouted angrily and actually directly detonated the Martial Monarch Realm spear in his hand.
"Damn it!"
Ling Xinyue's pupils constricted, and the hair on her body stood on end.
This Fang Aotian was too terrifying!
It was impossible for her to defeat him!
At this moment, her martial heart completely shattered in front of Fang Aotian.

Boom!
Another shocking bang sounded, and the world was covered in white as if it was daytime.
The place that had already become an abyss was blasted even bigger and deeper!
When the light vanished and everything disappeared, ten minutes had already passed.
In the air, a ball of blood slowly condensed and finally transformed into Fang Aotian.
By now, Fang Aotian's clothes had already shattered completely, and his Martial Monarch Realm armor had also been blasted into pieces. The silk threads of his clothing swayed in the wind.
"Ling Xinyue, I wonder how you're going to survive this one."
The corner of Fang Aotian's mouth curled up slightly. However, before he could be too smug, an accident happened again in the next second.
The air distorted as a heavily injured soul escaped from the void and fell heavily to the ground.
Fang Aotian was stunned, but he was not too shocked. Soon, he sneered.
"You're quite capable. You actually used a secret technique to let your soul escape into the void and avoided my attack."
However, so what? Even at your peak, you were no match for me. Now that you only have your soul left, you're even less worth mentioning. "
As he spoke, Fang Aotian took a heavy step and immediately rushed towards Ling Xinyue.
Although his speed was fast, Ling Xinyue's speed was clearly faster. Without saying a word, she directly smeared oil on her feet, turned around, and ran straight for the Heaven Cloud Mountain.
Fang Aotian sneered and chased after him.
"You want to run? Do you think you can run in front of me?"
The two of them had reached their peak speed. Although Ling Xinyue only had her soul left, she did not dare to be careless. This was because she knew that if she was captured this time, she would completely die.
Therefore, she did not even hesitate to consume her soul power to increase her flying speed.
She quickly flew to Heaven Cloud Mountain and shouted from afar,
"Father, save me!"
Fang Aotian laughed even more when he heard this.
"Hahaha… The dignified Demon Venerable is even joking at such a time. Isn't this a bit ridiculous?"
How could he not know the background of the Demon Venerable Ling Xinyue?
She did not have a father at all!
In Fang Aotian's heart, at this moment, Ling Xinyue was only trying to deceive him to stop and pull away from her.
Unfortunately, he would not pull away at all.
So many of his women had died in Ling Xinyue's hands. How could he let her off?
Moreover, why would it matter even if there was really a trap ahead?
He had just consumed a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm Pill and could quickly recover in an hour.
Even if he was really attacked, he could still quickly revive in a short period of time.
What was there to be afraid of?
Therefore, Fang Aotian directly pounced into the Heaven Cloud Mountain's valley.
When he officially stepped into the valley, a bad feeling suddenly attacked, making his pupils immediately shrink.
"Not good!"
His sixth sense emitted a powerful signal, making him immediately prepare to retreat.
Unfortunately, the other party's speed was really too fast, fast to the point of not giving him any time to react.
"Primordial Dragon Formation, activate!"
"Starfall Emperor Formation, activate!"
"Eight Trigrams Heaven Sealing Formation, activate!"
"Spacetime Deceleration Formation, activate!"
…
A series of array formations were activated, making the surrounding spirit energy suddenly gather crazily. Because the energy absorbed was too powerful in an instant, it even caused the spirit energy in a radius of dozens of kilometers to be sucked dry, forming a vacuum.
What was even more terrifying was that the clouds in the sky were all fixed, and the starry sky flickered incessantly.
It was as if the stars in this world were all shocked speechless by so many Martial Monarch Realm formations appearing at the same time.
Ling Xinyue was dumbfounded.
Was this his father's method?
What a powerful Martial Monarch Realm aura. This Martial Monarch Realm formation was not simple. The level of its engraving was too high, making it feel as if a Martial Monarch Realm expert had personally arrived.
It was too terrifying!
However, she quickly saw a few figures in strange cloaks and bamboo hats.
This made Ling Xinyue's heart skip a beat. Why were there so many people all of a sudden?
Her father was alone, but there were so many people here. Clearly, none of them was her father.
Moreover, for some reason, she felt that she had seen this outfit somewhere before. It was somewhat familiar.
However, at this moment, she had just experienced a life-threatening battle and could not think of anything else.
"May I ask who…?"
Ling Xinyue cupped her hands and asked.
"We're Master's disciples."
"Master!"
Ling Xinyue immediately thought that it must be her father's disciple.
Other than them, it was impossible for anyone to use so many Martial Monarch Realm formations here.
"So it's Senior Brothers."
As soon as she finished speaking, a high dragon roar sounded from the array formation and rushed into the sky.
A moment later, a huge dragon phantom soul roared as it crawled out of the array formation on the ground and headed straight for Fang Aotian in an unstoppable manner.
The dragon soul was almost a thousand meters long. Just its size alone made one's heart palpitate, and its aura was even more extraordinary.
Sensing the unfathomable might emitted by the dragon soul, Fang Aotian did not dare to be careless at all. He immediately put on a Martial Monarch Realm armor and took out two Martial Monarch Realm weapons to wield on both hands. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and did not dodge at all as he faced the attack head-on.
Boom!
The moment the two collided, a pure white light wave suddenly erupted in the air, forcing the dragon soul and Fang Aotian back at the same time.
The dragon soul flickered twice before recovering.
This was the terror of array formations.
However, Fang Aotian was not to be trifled with either.
With the Martial Monarch Realm weapons in hand, he could resist the dragon soul. With the Martial Monarch Realm armor, he could also resist the shock wave from the battle.
Because of these two factors, he was not afraid of the power of the dragon soul.
At this moment, the dragon soul attacked again.
"Good timing!"
Fang Aotian held the Martial Monarch Realm weapons and welcomed the attack again.
However, this time, he had only traveled halfway when another powerful force that was not inferior to the dragon soul condensed a starry light and suddenly fell.
Boom!
As this light fell, Fang Aotian saw clearly that it was the phantom of a martial artist with an extraordinary aura. Although it was only a phantom, it was several times stronger than Ling Xinyue's soul!
The illusion of an expert and the ancient dragon soul attacked at the same time. No matter how much equipment Fang Aotian had, he could not withstand it.
Moreover, these two phantoms were condensed by the array formation and were not real life forms. They would not hold back at all when attacking.
This exchange would determine his life and death. He directly used all his strength to enhance his attack and did not even defend.
A powerful attack erupted the moment the three of them came into contact. The light exploded and was about to sweep through the entire valley. The energy shock wave was also about to completely destroy the surroundings.
However, because the strength was too powerful, it caused the space to collapse. All the explosive energy was absorbed again and was unable to create an impact on the surroundings.
At this moment, be it the dragon soul, the soul of the expert, or even Fang Aotian, everything in the array formation was torn apart by the chaotic spatial power, crushed, torn, and killed.
In the end, everything turned to dust.
"We won?"
Zhuge Ziqiong could not help but mutter. However, Yun Lige, who was beside her, said with a solemn expression,
"Junior Sister, you can't be careless. This is a hot shot. Two array formations won't be able to kill him."
Zhuge Ziqiong's small mouth under the bamboo hat opened slightly, and her face was filled with shock.
Several Martial Monarch Realm formations were activated at the same time, unleashing two world-shaking attacks. They had even killed Fang Aotian. Could he still survive?
However, just as she was thinking this, Ling Xinyue shouted,
"Don't be careless. He just swallowed a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm medicinal pill. In an hour, even if only a drop of his blood remains, he will still be revived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, sure enough, Fang Aotian's blood continued to condense in the air. In the end, with a twist, he quickly recovered to his original appearance.
Seeing this scene, Zhuge Ziqiong was dumbfounded. Not good.
This was not the first time she had fought a hot shot. Previously, her sister, the woman who would smile crookedly, was also a hot shot. However, when the other party revealed her true identity, Zhuge Ziqiong was killed on the spot. Strictly speaking, she had not fought a hot shot before.
Today, after seeing how terrifying Fang Aotian was, she finally understood how terrifying a hot shot was.
The other party was even able to revive himself after dying. It was no wonder that even a peerless expert like her master was afraid of them.
However, the moment Fang Aotian revived, the dragon soul and the soul of the expert also condensed again.
If the array formation was not destroyed, they would not be destroyed either. After each destruction, they would be resurrected.
The moment he was revived, the two of them began to fight Fang Aotian again.
Fang Aotian's expression was extremely gloomy.
"You want to kill me with just these two Martial Monarch Realm formations? Do you really think I, Fang Aotian, am a pushover? Break!"
With a furious roar, Fang Aotian threw out the two Martial Monarch Realm weapons in his hand and directly attacked the eye of the two array formations.
The dragon soul and the soul of the expert attacked at the same time and stopped Fang Aotian's Martial Monarch Realm weapon in an instant.
As attacks created by a Martial Monarch Realm formation, they already had a certain level of consciousness. They knew that if the formation was destroyed, they would also be destroyed. Therefore, they would not let Fang Aotian destroy the formation.
"Foolish. An array formation is still an array formation. Even if it has intelligence, it's still trash!"
Fang Aotian formed hand seals in the air, and a mocking expression appeared in his eyes. He directly detonated the two Martial Monarch Realm weapons.
This simple and violent attack shocked everyone.
This guy was simply too bold for directly detonating the Martial Monarch Realm weapons. Just how many Martial Monarch Realm weapons did he have?
Boom!
Another shocking bang sounded. The light directly tore through space, as if it had created two huge black holes that crazily devoured everything in the surroundings.
A powerful tearing force also mercilessly tore apart the Martial Monarch Realm formations on the ground, directly turning the dragon soul and the soul of the expert into ashes.

Chapter 188: So It's You
Everyone's expressions changed. They did not expect Fang Aotian to be so bold as to directly explode two Martial Monarch Realm weapons!
The might of a Martial Monarch Realm weapon was originally shockingly powerful. No matter how powerful Lu Xiaoran's attainments in array formations were or how perfect his array formation was, his array formations would still be unable to withstand the explosion of a Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
The two Martial Monarch Realm formations shattered, and Fang Aotian's body was also pulled apart, turning into a bloody mist.
However, because of the Martial Monarch Realm medicinal pill, Fang Aotian quickly recovered and repaired his injuries.
"Attack!"
"Even if he can repair his injuries indefinitely, we can still kill him indefinitely. I don't believe he can last long. Let's kill him ten thousand times."
Li Changsheng rushed into the array formation. His cultivation level was only at the fifth level of the Shattering Void Realm. However, Lu Xiaoran had already set up an enhancement array on the ground.
Other than the Spacetime Deceleration Formation and the Eight Trigrams Sky Sealing Formation, there were also the Five Elements Life Formation, the Earth Holy Spirit Formation, and some other Martial Monarch Realm formations.
With the help of these Martial Monarch Realm formations, Li Changsheng's combat strength could reach the second level of the King Realm. Fang Tianyuan could unleash the strength of the tenth level of the Shattering Void Realm, and Ji Wuxia could unleash the strength of the seventh level of the Shattering Void Realm.
The three of them could already cause some damage to Fang Aotian, who had already been weakened by the array.
Just as Fang Aotian formed his body, Li Changsheng had already slashed at him.
The sword intent mixed with the divine soul had already surpassed the standard level of this world's sword intent. With a single slash, it would damage both the body and the soul.
Fang Aotian could naturally sense the terror of this sword intent, but he smiled coldly and raised his hand to sweep out with his sword.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Boom!
A shocking explosion sounded, and the fluctuation spread. Fang Aotian, who was originally disdainful towards Li Changsheng, was suddenly blasted into the ground, causing the ground to tremble violently and dust to spread for hundreds of meters.
Immediately after, Fang Aotian immediately flew out of the hole and spat fiercely.
"Bastard, your cultivation level is only at the Shattering Void Realm. How can you suppress me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Tianyuan held the Void Shattering Hammer and smashed it down.
The Martial Monarch Realm weapon rubbed against the air, emitting lightning sparks that spread in the sky like violent lightning in a storm.
Fang Aotian sensed the might of this attack and did not dare to be careless anymore. He immediately dodged to the side.
Everything happened so quickly. At that moment, Ji Wuxia held the True Phoenix Glazed Sword and slashed Fang Aotian back, making Fang Aotian's blood boil. Fang Aotian's figure moved again to Fang Aotian's Void Shattering Hammer.
Boom!
Fang Tianyuan's Void Shattering Hammer smashed straight onto his head, blasting Fang Aotian's head apart on the spot. His body was smashed into the ground again, causing the ground to tremble and the dust to be shaken hundreds of meters into the sky.
In less than two breaths, the ground exploded again. Fang Aotian soared out of the ground again, but he was not careless at all and avoided the three of them.
Previously, he had already felt that something was wrong. It turned out that not only were there two attack formations set up here, but there were also enhancement and reduction formations.
On one hand, the enhancement array formation increased the attack power of Li Changsheng and the others. On the other hand, the reduction array formation also suppressed him and reduced his combat strength. This was why he had suffered defeat after defeat.
Originally, he thought that his enemy was Ling Xinyue. Now, it seemed that Ling Xinyue was only a bait.
He had miscalculated this time and had been unaware of the greater danger hidden behind.
He just did not know who the hidden opponent was.
Which love rival was it?
Or was it someone whose entire family he had killed?
However, it was not important to think about that now. What was important was for him to think about how he could get through the difficult situation in front of him.
With his strength suppressed, he could no longer fight those at a higher level. He could only unleash the strength of the first level of the King Realm. Moreover, it was obvious that one of them was stronger than him.
Other than that, the other party also had Martial Monarch Realm weapons. There was naturally no need to mention that the other party also had cultivation techniques of the same level.
Moreover, two-thirds of the effect of his Martial Monarch Realm Pill had already passed. There was only a third of the time left. In other words, after the remaining time passed, he would not be able to revive even if he died. At that time, he would really die.
There were not many Martial Monarch Realm weapons left in the Ancient Bronze Hall. There were only a few left. It was probably impossible for him to keep relying on detonating Martial Monarch Realm weapons.
This time, he had really fallen into a huge crisis.
His only hope was to survive in the following time and attack desperately as he tried to kill the two of them. If it was a one-on-one battle, he would not have to be afraid even if the other party had the Martial Monarch Realm formation. He could completely detonate another Martial Monarch Realm weapon and kill the other party.
In any case, the other party had several Martial Monarch Realm weapons. Even if he detonated the Martial Monarch Realm weapons, as long as he could wipe them out here and take away their Martial Monarch Realm weapons, it would be enough to replenish his losses.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Fang Aotian's eyes suddenly turned ruthless. He held the Martial Monarch Realm weapon in both hands and transformed into a blue light that rushed into the three of them.
Fang Tianyuan naturally knew how ruthless his uncle was under his fake appearance.
He would treat those who could be used by him as brothers. As for those who could not be used by him, he would not hesitate to use various vicious methods to suppress the other party and eliminate the other party entirely!
"Be careful. He wants to use a suicidal attack. Don't let him get close."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Tianyuan was the first to fly forward. He used the Indestructible Golden Body at full strength and the golden giant enveloped the surface of his body. With the Void Shattering Hammer in hand, he smashed it towards Fang Aotian's head.
"Too slow."
A cold glint flashed in Fang Aotian's eyes. With a thought, he used his movement technique and instantly disappeared from his spot. When he reappeared, he had already arrived behind Fang Tianyuan.
"Die!"
With a cold shout, he held the Martial Monarch Realm weapon with both hands and slashed down together.
The light on the Martial Monarch Realm weapon was filled with dense killing intent and a bloodthirsty chill that made people shudder.
It could be imagined that if this move landed on Fang Tianyuan, he would be severely injured even if he did not die.
"Don't be too smug."
At the critical moment, a phoenix phantom suddenly attacked.
Ji Wuxia's cultivation technique leaned towards sharpness and speed.
With her speed, she was definitely able to hit Fang Aotian first. An ordinary person would definitely not be able to dodge.
However, Fang Aotian did not dodge at all and allowed Ji Wuxia to attack him.
The moment the sword beam slashed down, one of Fang Aotian's arms was directly shattered. However, at this moment, Fang Aotian's attack also landed on Fang Tianyuan.
The enhancement of the two Martial Monarch Realm weapons allowed him, whose cultivation had already surpassed Fang Tianyuan's, to directly tear a huge hole in the Indestructible Golden Body. Then, he slashed Fang Tianyuan's body and blasted him into the ground.
Even though Fang Tianyuan had a Martial Monarch Realm weapon to resist the attack, the attack still shattered his organs and made him vomit a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, Li Changsheng's sword also finished accumulating strength. He immediately slashed at Fang Aotian again, splitting his body into two.
However, knowing that the other party had already consumed a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm pill that could quickly repair his injuries, everyone did not dare to be careless and immediately organized the next attack.
Fang Tianyuan directly stuffed a handful of medicinal pills in his mouth and joined the battle as he healed his injuries.
Fang Aotian had just finished repairing his body when the three of them attacked again.
Under the combined strength of the three of them, they severely injured Fang Aotian time and time again.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have already died. However, Fang Aotian relied on the effect of the Martial Monarch Realm Pill to revive again and again.
This scene shocked Zhuge Ziqiong and Ling Xinyue.
What kind of abnormal battle was this?
On one hand, Fang Aotian could fight those at a higher level. On the other hand, he could not be killed no matter how they fought.
Wasn't this basically a battle between gods?
However, their combat strength was not as terrifying as a god.
However, even so, they were still not people that others could compare to.
It was too crazy.
Was this the might of the so-called hot shot?
Was this the strength of Lu Xiaoran's disciple?
At this moment, be it Zhuge Ziqiong, who had just become Lu Xiaoran's disciple, or Ling Xinyue, they could not help but curse in their hearts.
"How abnormal."
A moment later, Zhuge Ziqiong seemed to have reacted and immediately looked at Yun Lige.
"Eldest Senior Brother, why aren't you participating in the battle?"
Yun Lige glanced at her and said,
"Two reasons. The first reason is because I need to protect you."
"What about the second reason?"
"I'm too weak and can't participate."
Zhuge Ziqiong :"…"
In fact, Yun Lige also knew very well that his current cultivation level was relatively low. If he went up, he would not be able to unleash much strength. Instead, he would make his junior sisters and junior brothers feel restrained.
Instead of that, it was better for him to not participate in the battle this time and think of a way to cultivate and increase his cultivation later.
He wanted to participate in the next battle.
Moreover, his master had also said that to deal with the hot shots, not only did they need the main team, but they also needed support…
He had decided that he would play the supporting role.
The battle in the valley became more and more intense. The time Fang Aotian took to heal himself kept increasing, making him somewhat anxious.
Although that Martial Monarch Realm Pill was not the only Martial Monarch Realm Pill in the Ancient Bronze Hall, it was the strongest one.
That Martial Monarch Realm pill was formed by a Martial Monarch Realm expert using his essence, soul, bone marrow, and all the remaining powerful substances in the expert's entire body when that expert died in his twilight years.
It was almost equivalent to one tenth of a Martial Monarch Realm expert!
Therefore, it allowed people to have the ability to constantly heal their bodies in an hour.
However, even so, it still had a limit. If it exceeded this limit, one would still be helpless.
There was no other way.
Fang Aotian could only grit his teeth and detonate another Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
Seeing the Martial Monarch Realm weapon in his hand begin to release a destructive aura, Fang Tianyuan immediately protected Li Changsheng and Ji Wuxia behind him and used the Indestructible Golden Body with all his strength to resist the extremely destructive Martial Monarch Realm weapon.
At that moment, for some reason, Fang Aotian seemed to have seen a huge golden ape appear in front of him.
"This feels…"

Boom!
With another shocking bang, the sky was illuminated by light again, as if it was daytime.
For the whole night, this piece of land almost never went dark.
All the living beings had almost retreated a thousand kilometers.
They did this to avoid the aftershock from the explosion and injure themselves. At this distance, they could only sense the weak wind from the shock wave.
However, the light was constantly dazzling, making countless people fearful and shocked.
This night had probably already left a deep impact in everyone's minds that will forever remain.
In the crowd of the Ancient Ape Tribe, a few beautiful figures held hands as they watched the battle nervously. Their eyes were filled with worry.
"The battle ahead is so intense. I wonder how Brother Aotian is doing?"
…
"Don't worry, sisters. No matter what kind of enemy he has, Brother Aotian will definitely defeat them."
…
"That's right. Our Brother Aotian is the strongest."
…
"Along the way, Brother Aotian has never disappointed us. Every time, he has defeated his enemies and returned with the blood of his enemies. This time, he will definitely end up defeating those people and return to us like before."
…
"Fang Aotian was born before the heavens. Even when fighting against the heavens, Brother Aotian will still be invincible!"
…
On the battlefield, the explosion effect of the Martial Monarch Realm weapon had already disappeared. This battle had severely injured Fang Tianyuan and torn his Martial Monarch Realm armor.
Even though he cultivated the Indestructible Golden Body, this peerless body cultivation technique that cultivated both interior strength and exterior strength was still unable to withstand the remaining aftershock. The skin and flesh on his chest had been blasted apart, and six of his ribs were broken. One could vaguely see the beating heart inside.
However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the explosion of the Martial Monarch Realm weapon had destroyed his bamboo hat and mask, completely revealing his appearance.
Seeing Fang Tianyuan's face, Fang Aotian's expression was also completely gloomy.
"I was wondering who in their right mind would look for trouble by fighting me. I didn't expect it to be you."
Fang Tianyuan panted as he stuffed a handful of medicinal pills into his mouth.
"Fang Aotian, you killed my parents and stole my Ancient Ape Tribe. Today, I will definitely kill you and avenge my parents."
"Hahahaha… they deserved to be killed by me! Who asked the Ancient Ape Tribe to abandon me and let me compete with the wolves in the wilderness and suffer?"
"Bullsh*t! The elders of the Ancient Ape Tribe decided to abandon you. What has this got to do with my father?"
"How is it not related? He became the chief of the Ancient Ape Tribe because of me! We were clearly born from the same parents. Why should I be abandoned while he gets to be the chief? Although he didn't abandon me, since he became the chief of the Ancient Ape Tribe, he has to bear the responsibility and be condemned for the mistake the Ancient Ape Tribe made!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Changsheng immediately slashed with his sword. Taking advantage of Fang Aotian's surprise, he slashed off half of Fang Aotian's shoulder and arm.
"Junior Brother, there's no need to waste your breath on him. The winner takes all. There's no such thing as right and wrong. The victor is always righteous! The losers will always be evil!"
Fang Aotian sneered and repaired his shoulder again. With the two Martial Monarch Realm weapons in hand, he rode the wind.
"That's right. There's no need to talk about right and wrong. In this world, might makes right! Since the Ancient Ape Tribe was powerful, they were able to abandon me. Now that I'm powerful, I can kill whoever I want! You guys are no exception."
Fang Tianyuan heaved a sigh of relief, and the hatred in his eyes turned into a clear light. Replacing it was endless battle intent.
They were right.
History had always been written by the victors.
After tearing off his trench coat, Fang Tianyuan's upper body was naked. He used the Indestructible Golden Body cultivation technique and golden energy wrapped around his body.
At this moment, his understanding of the cultivation technique had increased by a step. He had advanced!
He had advanced in the battle and broken through to the first level of the Shattering Void Realm. With the help of the array formation his master had set up, he could already unleash combat strength comparable to the first level of the King Realm!
In his body, a purple ape phantom had also officially formed.
…
Lu Xiaoran, who had already arrived at the Imperial City of the Great Zhou, suddenly felt his cultivation increase by a lot.
Originally, he had just stepped into the second level of the Supreme Realm and his cultivation was only at the initial stage of the second level. However, he had just felt that his cultivation had increased and was only 50% away from reaching the third level.
Although his cultivation had not increased by a lot this time, given his current strength at the Supreme Realm, this increase was already not bad.
After all, the higher one's cultivation was, the slower their cultivation would increase.
Moreover, to Lu Xiaoran's surprise, another purple Ancient Ape phantom appeared in his body.
This meant that the soul in Fang Tianyuan's body had completely formed.
"What's wrong with this brat? Did he break through in the battle?"
Lu Xiaoran could not help but frown.
It was not impossible for them to break through in battle. After all, be it the hot shots or the villains who were stepping stones for the hot shots, their talent was extremely powerful. The chances of them breaking through in battle were also higher than ordinary people.
However, for some reason, Lu Xiaoran felt vaguely uneasy.
This made him feel very strange. This was because logically speaking, since Fang Tianyuan had improved, his chances of survival in the battle should also be higher.
If he felt uneasy, it was probably because he felt that his eldest disciple, Yun Lige, was in danger.
However, forget it. At this moment, he had already arrived at the Imperial City. It was already too late for him to rush back. He should save Ji Wushang first.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoran increased his speed and arrived at the Imperial City in two breaths.
In the Purple Peace Imperial Palace, the battle had already reached the end.
Boom!
With a shocking bang, the spatial barrier in the void above the grand array Lu Xiaoran had set up was shattered by the Grand Imperial Sire, Ji Shangrong.
Lu Xiaoran's array formation was set up under the array formation of the Great Zhou Imperial City. If he destroyed Lu Xiaoran's Martial Monarch Realm formation, he would definitely destroy the Imperial City's array.
Even if he wanted to kill Ji Wushang, he could not do such a thing.
However, this was not enough to stop the other party from killing Ji Wushang.
Although he could not destroy the array formation, with his Martial Monarch Realm cultivation and the help of a Martial Monarch Realm weapon, he could still unleash a powerful attack comparable to a Supreme Realm expert.
By tearing through space, he could also avoid the array formation and arrive in front of Ji Wushang.
"It's over!"
King Zining's expression changed drastically. He immediately picked up his son and wanted to escape. Unfortunately, how could Ji Shangrong give him this chance?
"Do you think you can escape?"
With a sweep of his gaze, the Emperor Realm pressure erupted, directly suppressing King Zining until he was unable to move.
The difference between a King Realm expert and an Emperor Realm expert was extraordinary. Moreover, King Zining did not have the ability to fight an enemy stronger than him. He was only an ordinary King Realm expert, so how could he resist?
Ji Shangrong stepped forward with his sword and the corner of his mouth curled up.
"Unfortunately, the throne of the Great Zhou will still be inherited by my bloodline."
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly raised the Martial Monarch Realm weapon in his hand and slashed down.
This sword move was not complicated nor did it have much spirit energy. It was just an extremely ordinary sword move.
However, it was enough.
Be it Ji Wushang or King Zining, it was impossible for them to resist this attack.
With the death of the father and son, it was worth it even if he was imprisoned for a thousand years.
The old king's eyes widened.
"Ji Shangrong, if you kill them, even if I have to die, I will still kill all of your bloodline!"
Ji Shangrong did not even turn around and smiled in extreme disdain.
Kill my bloodline?
With just you?
Then, his sword fell.
A huge force pressed down.
At this moment, Ji Shangrong's smugness formed a sharp contrast to the despair on King Zining's face.
However, at this critical moment, an extremely unfamiliar and cold voice suddenly sounded in Ji Shangrong's ear.
"Primordial Chaos Emperor Fist, Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens, Mahayana Sword Dao, Ten Thousand Great Lightning, Wind Fire Cry…"
Before he could even react, he was hurriedly enveloped by a force that was so powerful that he was simply unable to resist at all.
At that moment, for the first time in his life, he felt despair.
His life felt threatened!
In the next second, his consciousness fell into darkness.
Boom!
A shocking light lit up on the ground, but it was enveloped by the Martial Monarch Realm formation and could not spread. No one in the surroundings was alerted.
The attack also enveloped Ji Wushang and King Zining.
However, the moment before the attack reached them, a force reacted in time and took them away from the attack.
"Hah! I finally arrived."
Lu Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.
"I knew that Senior would definitely be able to make it in time."
"How can you still be happy at such a time? If I came a step later, you would have been turned to ashes. Even if I were a Golden Immortal that descended to the mortal world, I still wouldn't have been able to save you."
Then, Lu Xiaoran immediately used the Azure Thearch Longevity Art to repair Ji Wushang's injuries.
The light shone on the others, allowing the others to quickly recover from their injuries, including the old king.
However, at this moment, the old king was clearly dumbfounded.
King Zining was still fine. After all, Ji Wushang had previously told him about Lu Xiaoran, so to an extent, he was already mentally prepared. Although he was still shocked, he was not as shocked as his father.
This was the first time the old king had seen how terrifying Lu Xiaoran was.
That was an Emperor Realm expert!
Emperor Realm!
He was directly killed into dust without even having the chance to react?
Was there a mistake?
Moreover, his own injuries had actually recovered in an instant.
It had to be known that he was an Emperor Realm expert. After suffering such a serious injury, it was impossible for him to recover without a certain amount of precious resources and a long period of recovery.
However, now, he actually had endless strength from head to toe. Other than his clothes being torn and his pants being blown by the cold wind, he seemed to have never been injured at all!

"Father, are you alright?"
King Zining quickly reacted and immediately ran to find his father.
The old king shook his head.
"I'm already completely fine now. I don't have any injuries."
With that said, he walked forward, cupped his hands, and bowed to Lu Xiaoran.
"Thank you, Senior, for helping my Purple Peace Imperial Palace."
Lu Xiaoran waved his hand.
"You're welcome. I'm also doing this to cooperate with the Purple Peace Imperial Palace."
The old king's eyes revealed a complicated expression.
"Originally, I was wondering how Wushang and Wuxia could suddenly increase their cultivation by so much! Now, it seems that it should all be thanks to Senior. It's difficult to repay your kindness."
"Let's not talk about those useless things. Let's talk about something practical. How far are we from Ji Wushang ascending to the throne?"
"This…"
The old king clearly did not expect Lu Xiaoran to be so straightforward.
"In theory, Wushang only needs to defeat Ji Tianming tomorrow to ascend to the throne. According to the rules of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, after he cultivates to the Shattering Void Realm, he will naturally be able to successfully ascend to the throne and receive the resources of the Imperial Family. After that, he will be able to cultivate to the Emperor Realm."
However, now, there's a problem. You just killed the Grand Imperial Sire. I think there will be a huge commotion tomorrow. "
Lu Xiaoran could not help but rub his eyebrows and say with a solemn expression,
"According to the Great Zhou law, didn't this old fellow violate the law by coming to kill Ji Wushang? The Elder Group behind the Imperial Family shouldn't sit idly by, right?"
The old king did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Senior Lu, don't forget that Wushang is not the crown prince yet, let alone the Great Zhou Emperor. He's only an ordinary imperial palace heir now. As for the Grand Imperial Sire, he's a true Emperor Realm expert and a late-stage Emperor Realm expert."
Because of the array formation, the news of his death had not been spread. However, one the array formation is shut down, the Great Zhou Empire would understand that he had been killed.
At that time, if they wanted to assign blame, even if I wanted to mobilize the elders of the other imperial palaces, I still wouldn't be able to obtain the throne for Wushang.
It has to be known how precious a late-stage Emperor Realm expert is! "
Lu Xiaoran had a headache.
The old king was right. Even if this matter was all Ji Shangrong's fault, he was still a dignified Emperor Realm expert.
Such an expert was also an extremely rare combat strength for the Great Zhou Empire.
As for Ji Wushang, he was only a brat who seemed to have good talent now. It was still unknown if he could grow to a high-level Emperor Realm expert in the future.
If he could find a way to make up for this loss of the Imperial Family, would he be able to guarantee that Ji Wushang's imperial throne plan would go smoothly?
At this moment, Lu Xiaoran's eyes suddenly landed on the old king and King Zining.
At this moment, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Hasn't the opportunity already presented itself?
"If I create a late-stage Emperor Realm expert and an early-stage Emperor Realm expert in a short period of time, the Great Zhou shouldn't have to hold the Purple Peace Imperial Palace accountable, right?"
"Ah?"
The old king and King Zining were both puzzled.
Creating two Emperor Realm experts was already unthinkable. Moreover, with one of them being at the late-stage Emperor Realm, it would mean that one of them needed to at least surpass the fifth level of the Emperor Realm. How was this possible?
"Senior Lu, although our cultivation levels are low and we're inexperienced, you can't lie to us like this, right?"
"That's right. I can't believe that you're actually proposing to create two Emperor Realm experts. Moreover, one of them would even have to be a late-stage Emperor Realm expert. Why didn't you just say that you were going to destroy the entire Imperial Family? We think that's more believable."
King Zining was not joking.
This was because he knew that Lu Xiaoran's cultivation was very powerful.
Killing an Emperor Realm expert from the Imperial Family was not a problem. In fact, he was even confident that Lu Xiaoran would be qualified to fight that person from the Imperial Family.
However, they would never believe that Lu Xiaoran could create two such powerful experts in such a short period of time.
After all, destruction and creation were two completely different concepts. Even if he was a Martial Monarch Realm expert who could kill all the enemies in the world, he would not dare to say that he could create another extremely powerful existence.
Lu Xiaoran shook his head.
"That's why you guys are too narrow-minded."
As he spoke, he opened his palm and four medicinal pills immediately appeared.
Sensing the terrifying aura emitted from the medicinal pill, King Zining and his son immediately widened their eyes.
"This… this… this aura, is this a Martial Monarch Realm Pill?"
King Zining said in disbelief.
The old king nodded excitedly.
"That's right! It's a Martial Monarch Realm Pill! It's a Martial Monarch Realm Pill! Every crown prince of our Great Zhou Imperial Family has the right to eat a Martial Monarch Realm Pill to increase their strength. The medicinal pill the Great Zhou Emperor ate previously had this aura. I personally saw the Grand Elder give it to the current emperor."
As a member of the Great Zhou Imperial Family's Elder Group, he had more or less seen some Martial Monarch Realm pills.
Lu Xiaoran smiled and nodded.
"That's right, they're Martial Monarch Realm pills. Two of them are low-grade Martial Monarch Realm Martial Monarch Realm Blood Pills. The other two are mid-grade Martial Monarch Realm Martial Monarch Realm Marrow Pills that can increase your cultivation. As long as you eat and refine them, it shouldn't be a problem for the two of you to break through a few realm levels."
Gulp.
At this moment, forget about King Zining, even the experienced old king could not help but swallow his saliva.
That was a Martial Monarch Realm Pill!
Even in the Great Zhou Imperial Family, only the past emperors were qualified to eat this medicinal pill!
In their lives, they were almost not even qualified to touch it.
In the end, Lu Xiaoran actually casually took out four Martial Monarch Realm pills for them to eat!
This simply made the two of them unable to believe their ears.
After a moment, the old king said doubtfully,"Senior Lu, are you joking with us? You want to give us such a precious thing?"
"You don't want it? Forget it then."
"Hey, no, no, no. Of course we want it."
At this moment, King Zining and his son had already completely ignored their image and were immediately prepared to go forward to take the medicinal pills.
However, Lu Xiaoran suddenly clenched his fists tightly. The smiles on their faces suddenly disappeared and they began to panic.
Could it be that Lu Xiaoran regretted it?
Lu Xiaoran naturally did not regret it.
"After Ji Wushang ascends to the throne…"
The two of them were silent for a moment. Then, the old king said with a serious expression,
"As long as Senior Lu doesn't target our Great Zhou Imperial Family, we will listen to whatever you say!"
"That's good."
Although Lu Xiaoran's Martial Monarch Realm medicinal pill was like cabbages and he did not care at all, it was still his.
After all, why would he give away his things for free?
At the very least, he had to exchange them for something.
Lu Xiaoran did not care for the items of King Zining and his son. Only loyalty was still useful.
Of course, he was not afraid that the two of them would betray him.
Ji Wuxia and Ji Wushang were both in his hands. Unless the two of them wanted the Purple Peace Imperial Palace to lose their future bloodline, they would not do anything rash.
If they did not want such an outcome, it was best for them to be obedient.
Moreover, if they were really disobedient, Lu Xiaoran would not be soft-hearted. He would just carry the coffin and eat.
"However, it won't be easy for the two of us to immediately absorb the Martial Monarch Realm pills to increase our strength."
"Oh, I have a simple solution for this!"
Lu Xiaoran directly released the Mountain and River State Painting.
"The two of you can cultivate inside. I estimate that if something like this happens, the competition will also be delayed. One day outside is about eight days inside. One day will be enough for you to cultivate."
King Zining and his son fell silent again.
Why did it feel like Lu Xiaoran was the God of Fortune?
It was as if he could take out all kinds of treasures.
At the very least, the level of this Mountain and River State Painting should at least be at the Martial Monarch Realm, right?
Was this guy that rich?
At this moment, they even began to doubt themselves.
That was, they wondered if they were in a fake dynasty.
This was because the Great Zhou Empire seemed extremely poor compared to Lu Xiaoran.
At this moment, the array formation had already been undone. At this moment, the Great Zhou Emperor was probably thinking that his father was already more or less done with his work.
"Alright, I should leave too. The two of you, hurry up and increase your cultivation. Otherwise, when the Great Zhou Elder Group makes things difficult for your Purple Peace Imperial Palace, the two of you will not be able to do anything other than worry."
"Yes!"
The two of them immediately entered the Mountain and River State Painting to cultivate. As for Lu Xiaoran, he immediately took out the Heaven-Breaking Shuttle and left the Great Zhou Imperial City, flying towards the Heaven Cloud Mountain.
Seeing Lu Xiaoran leave on the Heaven-Breaking Shuttle, King Zining was stunned on the spot and said,
"Father, the thing Senior Lu is riding on seems to be a Martial Monarch Realm weapon too, right?"
The old king nodded.
"I think even the underwear he's wearing is at the Martial Monarch Realm."
King Zining :"…"
Unlike the father and son duo who were teasing each other here, the entire Great Zhou Imperial City's Imperial Family was shocked the moment the array formation of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace was opened.
"This aura of death! It's Ji Shangrong! Ji Shangrong has died!"
Several elders immediately flew to the sky above the Great Zhou Imperial City and began to spread their divine senses to search.
The Grand Imperial Sire of the Great Zhou, the previous Emperor Realm emperor, had actually died!
It was as if a detonated Martial Monarch Realm Core Pill had been thrown into the Imperial City.
The old king directly opened the array formation of the Imperial Palace and blocked everyone's divine sense.
It was not just the emperor who was able to activate the array formation of the Purple Peace Imperial Palace. The Purple Peace Imperial Palace itself could also activate it independently.
They would cultivate first. After the old king advanced to the late-stage Emperor Realm and his son also advanced to the Emperor Realm, he would be more confident in talking to the elders.
At this moment, an extremely powerful aura suddenly shot out from a lone cliff outside the Great Zhou and blocked Lu Xiaoran's path.
"There's no grudge between our Great Zhou and you, right? Why do you want to kill an elder of our Great Zhou Imperial Family? Can you give me an explanation?"
Lu Xiaoran was stunned and suddenly stopped moving forward.
This aura was at the third level of the Supreme Realm? Could it be that he was the Grand Elder in charge of the Great Zhou Imperial Family's Elder Group?
After a second of silence, Lu Xiaoran continued,
"Get lost!"
