He was well aware of the strength of Xuanri Mountain, although he had not fought with the elusive head of the mountain, how much resources could such a mere Xuanri Mountain gather to produce an exceptionally powerful Immortal?

Even though the Chief Eunuch was defeated, with his strength at the peak of Divine Concealment, escaping was not difficult, but...

He was killed in an instant.

Looking at the expression on the head in the box, Li Chengshi closed his eyes. The power of Xuanri Mountain was unexpected, but at this moment...he could not avoid seeking an explanation.

Otherwise, where would he put his face?

Where would his prestige at Hidden Life Mountain stand?

Wouldn't those below start to outwardly agree but inwardly oppose?

Li Chengshi waved his hand and said to the Crown Prince Li Jingyu beside him, "Give him a decent burial."

Li Jingyu took the order and withdrew. Li Chengshi looked down, "Bai Yangshu, go gather the troops as the vanguard, it's time to teach Xuanri Mountain a lesson."

The Clan Leader of the Qingshui Bai Family, Bai Yangshu, twitched his eyelid, realizing there was such a powerful expert hidden in Xuanri Mountain, he had no guts to be the vanguard.

Isn't this just marching to one's death...

But then again, he was indeed in charge of the Ministry of War of the Tongtian Immortal Dynasty.

Bai Yangshu took a deep breath and, feeling several schadenfreude glances, stepped forward: "Minister...accepts the order."

After a pause, he added, "But Your Majesty, this matter must involve Yunkong Mountain; otherwise, they will just sit back and reap the benefits."

"Approved."

"I will go prepare immediately."

With some confidence restored, Bai Yangshu quickly retreated. He had to properly organize the troops... with the Holy Emperor's decree in hand, it couldn't be just the Bai Family charging ahead.

Before stepping out of the hall, he gave others a subtle yet fierce smile.

The others remained silent, and Li Chengshi pretended to see nothing.

After all, that was the result he desired.

Representing the Li Family of the Royal Family, although he was in charge, they didn't have as deep a foundation as the other families, so weakening them was beneficial to the Li Family.

It would also make it easier for Li Jingyu to smoothly take the Imperial Throne after his ascension.

"The rest of you, focus on cooperation with the Dragon Clan, there must be no mistakes in that matter, all of you may leave."

Wandao Sect, Taichu Peak.

Reclining on a rocking chair, Lu Jin'an basked in the sun while enjoying Zhu Nanzhi's feeding. With little Zhiyu sleeping soundly in his arms and Qiu Qingtang, who had turned back into the Little Pink Fox, it was a pleasure others could only envy.

Lu Jin'an turned his head to glance not far away; under the tree's shade, Master and Aunt Ruo were playing chess. Every now and then, he could hear Master's triumphant laughter and Aunt Ruo's indignant expression, wondering what Master said...

"Where is Senior Sister?" Lu Jin'an asked.

"I don't know."

Zhu Nanzhi blinked her eyes. She truly didn't know and was too lazy to find out.

After all, when the weather was hot, hugging the cool Qingyue was the most comfortable; since Qingyue didn't take the initiative, she was happy to monopolize her husband for a while~

Lu Jin'an didn't actively seek Senior Sister either; instead, he extended his Divine Sense and discovered Senior Sister was still in Cuiqing Inn.

Although she was already on her feet, she was diligently wiping the marks on the walls and floor, and...

Through the faintly visible collar, Lu Jin'an clearly saw that Mu Qingyue was using that paper 'nameplate' with marks smudged on it as a necklace.

On it was the declaration that Mu Qingyue had previously sworn not to resist anymore.

In the lower right corner, there was a word and a drawing of a dog's head.

"..."

Lu Jin'an withdrew his Divine Sense, remaining silent.

It was an indescribable feeling.

"Husband, are you thinking of Qingyue? I can go call her..."

Observing Lu Jin'an's expression, Zhu Nanzhi promptly brushed aside her little sense of possessiveness; her husband's enjoyment was what mattered most.

Seeing her get up, Lu Jin'an hurriedly grasped her wrist: "No need. She's probably tired; let her rest well for a while."

Zhu Nanzhi blinked her eyes, crouched down again, and looked towards the Zhiyu and Qiu Qingtang in his arms.

"How did she fall asleep?" Zhu Nanzhi pointed at Qiu Qingtang: "Is she the kind who can sleep?"

At one side, Yun Duo, who was helping fan them, promptly said, "After a special period, there is always a sleepy phase..."

"Facilitates absorption."

Yun Duo thought silently in his heart, praying that Saintess Zhu wouldn't pursue it, lest if Qingtang was really pregnant, wouldn't Saintess Zhu have a fit?

Fortunately, Zhu Nanzhi didn't question further and continued massaging Lu Jin'an's thighs.

She wouldn't let Yun Duo and the others perform such intimate actions... At least while she's around, she wouldn't let those fox spirit maids do it.

Before long, Dongfang Xinglan, with her damp long hair loose, walked over in thin clothing, her eyes still brimming with unextinguished fighting spirit.

Zhu Nanzhi turned to look at her: "How does it feel?"

"Indeed, the heroes of the world are like fish crossing the river." Dongfang Xinglan smiled: "There are quite a few with strong abilities."

Yun Duo glanced at Dongfang Xinglan secretly, thinking that the Emperor of Qiming Immortal Dynasty really is humble.

On Zhi Ge Peak, Dongfang Xinglan had never been defeated.

Just by relying on the powerful domain of Outer Scene Circulation, she left more than half of the Tribulation Crossing Realm Practitioners unable to even walk.

Even when exchanging blows with the Direct Disciples of Wandao Sect, she displayed the upper hand.

"Not satisfied."

Dongfang Xinglan said again, her starry eyes intensely focused on Lu Jin'an lying on the rocking chair.

Zhu Nanzhi gave her an eye roll: "You're being a bit reckless, my husband could press you down with just one finger."

Dongfang Xinglan shook her head and stepped directly in front of Lu Jin'an: "I want to do it!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Lu Jin'an almost spewed out the ice-cold grape wine he just drank, couldn't help but stare at Dongfang Xinglan: "W-what?"

Dongfang Xinglan reached out her hands to lift his chin, looking down at him: "Don't you understand? I said I want to!"

The heat in her eyes was unmistakable: "Fighting with you, exhilarating!"

Dongfang Xinglan enjoyed the soreness and fatigue after the intense fight with Lu Jin'an, this feeling akin to the exhaustion after practicing martial arts in her childhood seemed to let her feel a beauty of evenly matched power.

She likes it this way!

Not far away, Pei Wanyu and Xiao Yinruo both glanced at Dongfang Xinglan, this little girl was quite straightforward.

After all, she rose to power as an Emperor through martial prowess, her directness and lack of disguise...

At this moment, Zhu Nanzhi, having come back to her senses, stood up immediately: "You..."

"This is also a battle." Dongfang Xinglan smiled slightly, taking advantage of the moment Zhu stood up, directly flipping over Little Fish and Little Pink Fox from Lu Jin'an's arms, then sat up: "You now count as an Alien King of Qiming Immortal Dynasty, so you must obey me, no disobeying the decree..."

"Let's change the place."

"No, right here."

Dongfang Xinglan licked her lips: "Here... is pretty good."

"..."

Lu Jin'an helplessly sighed: "I've noticed you don't like being indoors much."

"In the former Dynasty, I rose to power through martial prowess, I am best at field battles!"

Dongfang Xinglan's gaze grew even more fervent, while at that moment, Xiao Yinruo directly left, and Pei Wanyu watched the increasingly insane Dongfang Xinglan with great interest.

In her, in Zhu Nanzhi's, in Yun Duo and the others' eyes here, Dongfang Xinglan at the moment resembled a female knight charging forward on the battlefield, undaunted by death.

The madness, stamina, and combat strength belonging to Dongfang Xinglan were fully displayed at this moment.

Dongfang Xinglan, with her uniquely different madness, active as if endlessly, until death.

Seemingly unlike a person, rather like a beast with a valiant appearance.

Gradually, Lu Jin'an also seemed roused by a competitive spirit, so the Lake Forest in Taichu Hall seemed to become another battlefield.

This little girl... a bit terrifying.

Sitting by the table, Pei Wanyu watched, feeling somewhat envious.

This is the physique she desires...

Clearly she's a demon, yet the combat strength Dongfang Xinglan displays is more demon-like than hers.

At the first sight of Dongfang Xinglan, Qiu Qingtang, originally thrown to the ground lying, gradually squatted up, her pink eyes filled with shock.

This, this, this...

Who actually looks more like a demon beast in special times?

Qiu Qingtang swallowed secretly, for the first time felt humans could possess such wild beauty too.

She took a deep breath, quickly turned to look at the sleepy Little Fish, grabbing the equally petite-looking Little Candle Dragon: "Now is not the time to sleep! Watch well! Learn well!"

Little Fish stared blankly at Qiu Qingtang, suddenly hearing an oppressive thunderous sound echoing in her ears, instinctively looked towards it.

Hmm... learn!

Really need to learn!

Master is particularly excited!
