Chapter 325: Chapter 143: The Great Zhao’s Reinforcements Arrive at Last, Dragon-slaying Marquis’s Wife? Sword Master Ruan, You Cannot Take That Man!

State Lord Lan Jingyi ascended the city wall with his sword, his eyebrows dancing with delight, feeling quite invigorated.

On one side, Ye Huai pointed at the woman and asked:

"That is..."

Lan Jingyi looked at the woman in the yellow robe and daoist attire, holding a duster like a sword, her face pale yet cold and beautiful, then replied:

"Oh?"

"She is the wife of the Dragon-slaying Marquis whom he ’separated’ from decades ago, now known in the Divine Capital’s Duke Lu’s Mansion, reputed as one of the ’Lu Clan’s Twin Stars,’ Lu Xingshuang."

"Speaking of which, the Lu family is also interesting. A hundred years ago, they had a Lu Xingshuang, sixty years ago a Lu Miaomiao was born, now both have reached the fourth step, and they are both women who took in sons-in-law. Truly, the yin predominates over the yang."

"What’s more absurd is that these sons-in-law who married in, all have promising futures."

"First there was the Dragon-slaying Marquis Jiang Xiao, and now there’s another Jiang Yi."

"Elder Duke Lu, back then, was known as ’flawless in life,’ most loyal to the Great Demon Hunter Master, and now the accumulated virtue of his descendants stands as the most stable foundation for the entire Divine Capital’s ’Giant Valve Clan’. He enjoys his later years with fortune!"

Seeing the overall situation improving, with expelling demons and restoring the whole state of Baoping on the verge, Lan Jingyi recounted Ye Huai’s words in full.

Making Ye Huai’s heart tighten:

"So, she is ’Lu Xingshuang,’ huh."

With ’seizing the generals and capturing the banners,’ those demon monarchs were slain, leaving the situation not a problem anymore.

At this time, Lu Xingshuang, holding a letter, her expression indifferent, ascended the city wall and directly approached the two persons in charge in Baoping State, opening directly with:

"Someone sent me a letter."

"Sixty years ago, those ’missing’ from Black Mountain... have all returned?"

"Two State Lords, the generals are well-informed, I wonder, are there any updates on the Dragon-slaying Marquis Jiang Xiao?"

...

Not long ago.

The ancestral land of the Profound Dragon Bai Clan.

Bai Qiuyi, having been summoned by the ’Xuanlong Clan Master,’ gazed at the clan leader before him, draped in a fox fur coat, with their back turned, silent for a long time.

Spoke a sentence:

"My name is Bai Qiuyi."

"I..."

"am already dead."

Upon saying this sentence.

The back trembled slightly.

Then...

When the face turned around,

it was an extremely young, handsome face.

Seeing this exceedingly familiar face, searching through his memories in the depths of his mind, Bai Qiuyi was not surprised.

While lying dormant at the Black Mountain City branch, as a ’Nirvana Corpse,’ he did not choose to join those other upright Primordial Pill cultivators.

Instead, he went through the archives of the Profound Dragon Bai Clan and discovered————

In these sixty years, the clan leader had changed, or rather, there were now two clan leaders.

One of them.

Was his former good disciple.

"As expected..."

"You are Jiang Yi."

"You..."

Smack!

Before he could finish speaking.

His head was directly crushed by the calm-faced Jiang Yi, causing the ’astonished’ Bai Qiuyi to completely turn into a desiccated corpse and vanish.

Only leaving behind the young man draped in a fox fur, who sneered:

"A ’Nirvana Corpse’... huh!"

"Trying to be clever."

"If it was the old ghost from back then, they would never have played such a risky move."

"Your Dao Practice is far inferior to the owner of your body."

"However, Baoping State..."

"You all, go cover up the news about the ’Nirvana Corpse,’ just say that batch of people from back then ’died and resurrected,’ then inform Lu Xingshuang, but not in the name of Lu Miaomiao’s husband, understand?"

The two black-clad figures behind Jiang Yi nodded in command.

...

Black Mountain City.

Chen Zhao hurriedly intercepted a group of people, sweating profusely:

"Sword Master Ruan, listen to this old man, this one... you absolutely cannot take him away!"

The person Chen Zhao pointed at was a young man in a black robe, with sharp eyes and an evil demeanor, who did not speak, only coldly stared at him, slightly opening his lips:

"Chen Zhao, have you forgotten who recommended you back then?"

"Presumptuous, step back now!"

As the words fell, Chen Zhao, wielding a cane, anger flaring:

"What behavior of mine needs your questioning? You are nothing but..."

Before he could finish,

he was interrupted by Ruan Xiuxiu, exuding radiance, dressed in yellow, with a sword bell ringing at her waist:

"Chen Zhao, who I take away, who I don’t, doesn’t require your input."

"The Government Office of Great Zhao is no different."

Behind her followed Ning Xiu, Museum Director of Yunluan Daoist School, along with disciple Pei Lvye.

Both remained silent.

Facing pressure like a ’mountain call or sea roar,’ Chen Zhao wanted to speak up but feared exposing Mr. Ji might bring trouble, so he was sweating in anxiety...

Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!

The Commander of the Military Department, Chen Jing, initially sent to Wutong Prefecture for reinforcements, returned wearing armor back to the Guardian Mansion!

Upon seeing these confronting parties.

Chen Jing swiftly ran up to Chen Zhao, whispering in his ear: 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Father!"

"Mr. Ji is back!"

"And..."

In an instant,

after hearing his son’s words.

The previously anxious Chen Zhao...

Suddenly felt calm and then looked towards the door, where...

someone was leisurely approaching:

"Sword Master Ruan,"

"that person, you cannot take away."
