In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

"The sinner Li Yue pays his respects to the senior."

"Please forgive the offense committed by the royal family of Great Yue for the sake of the millions of people of Great Yue."

Taiyue Mountains.

The once deserted Valley of Ten Thousand Insects has now become bustling with activity.

Li Yue, dressed in a five-clawed golden robe, was kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly.

behind him.

Hundreds of civil and military officials also knelt for a long time, not daring to utter a single complaint.

The silver-haired old man was the only Nirvana Realm expert in the Great Yue Kingdom.

Once he dies.

This means that the sky has fallen over the Great Yue Kingdom.

Moreover, the person who killed the silver-haired old man is suspected to be a Creation Realm expert with the cultivation of the fifth realm.

Faced with such a terrifying existence that could easily destroy a secular dynasty.

The royal family of Dai Viet dared not even harbor the slightest resentment, let alone seek revenge!

at the same time.

A large, light boat came hurtling in from the horizon and slowly landed not far from Li Yue and the others.

The formation closed, and the defensive light barrier disappeared.

A group of disciples dressed in blue robes jumped off the light boat one after another.

The leader was an old man in purple robes.

He was thin and had a hunched back.

But his eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and his stride was both powerful and imposing, exuding a terrifying aura of authority.

When the other civil and military officials saw the old man, their pupils constricted and their eyes showed fear.

Because this person was none other than the Grand Elder of the Xuanqing Sect.

Zhang Hong!

"I've met the Great Elder."

Li Yue dared not delay. He immediately stood up from the ground, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then clasped his hands in a salute.

However, Zhang Hong snorted coldly and ignored Li Yue's presence in front of all the civil and military officials.

If the Da Yue royal family hadn't tried to curry favor and send their princess to marry Lin Hao, things wouldn't have developed to this point.

They didn't give Zhang Hong any face at all.

Li Yue's face turned pale and ashen, and he clenched his fists tightly under his long sleeves.

But outwardly, he dared not show any dissatisfaction.

Otherwise, Zhang Hong alone would be enough to make the Da Yue royal family pay a heavy price!
"The Taiyue Mountains are a remote place, but I never expected that a real dragon would live there."

"I am Zhang Hong, representing the Xuanqing Sect, and I have come to pay you a visit. Please come out and meet me, fellow Daoist!"

Zhang Hong walked straight to the front of the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects, bowed respectfully, and said in a very respectful tone.

"come in."

A deep, calm voice rang in Zhang Hong's ears.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hong frowned slightly, a barely perceptible hint of displeasure flashing deep in his eyes.

For the Grand Elder of the Xuanqing Sect to personally pay a visit already shows him great respect and sincerity.

But the other party's attitude was far too arrogant.

Does this mean they want them to come to an audience?

But anyway.

This is ultimately a genuine fifth-realm powerhouse.

No matter how dissatisfied Zhang Hong was, he could only suppress his anger and lead the Xuanqing Sect disciples, Li Yue, and others into the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects.

The poisonous mist and miasma of the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects might still have some effect on cultivators in the lower three realms.

But for Zhang Hong, a Nirvana Realm expert, these poisonous gases were nothing more than decorations.

'laugh! ’

A ball of crimson flame rose from his body.

This flame is fierce and intense, capable of burning away all filth, and is the nemesis of all demons and monsters.

Just appeared.

This caused the poisonous fog that had been shrouding the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects to dissipate, posing no threat to anyone.

As the poisonous fog dissipated, everyone was able to see the interior of the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects.

They were deep within the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects.

A handsome young man with long hair, dressed in a black robe, stood atop the mountain peak, looking down at them.

Besides.

There was also a stunningly beautiful girl with fair skin standing obediently beside the boy.

The two possessed an ethereal quality, like a divine couple who had stepped out of a painting.

"Is this person merely a Nirvana-reborn demon cultivator?"

But when Zhang Hong saw Lu Yuan, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

He originally thought.

The one who could kill the patriarch of the Great Yue Kingdom must be at least a Creation Realm expert.

Judging from the aura emanating from Lu Yuan, he wasn't particularly powerful, and was even inferior to him!

"Could it be that the ancestor of the Great Yue Kingdom is old and frail, his vital energy and blood are declining, which gave this boy an opportunity to take advantage of him?"

Zhang Hong's eyes flickered, and many guesses arose in his mind.

The demon race possesses formidable physiques and excels in close-quarters combat.

If the patriarch of the Great Yue Kingdom were caught off guard and this boy suddenly got close to him, his life would indeed be in danger.

Li Yue was also stunned when he saw Lu Yuan and Liu Mingyan.

He had originally thought that a show of feigned suffering would win Liu Mingyan back.

Then, through her relationship with Lu Yuan, she secured Lu Yuan's protection for the royal family of the Great Yue Kingdom.

That's why he disregarded the king's dignity and personally knelt down to kowtow and apologize.

Who knew that Liu Mingyan's lover was just a demon cultivator in the Nirvana Realm?

Wouldn't I have just made a fool of myself for nothing this time?
"Fellow Daoist, you have reached the Nirvana Realm at such a young age. Such talent is truly rare in the world. May I ask who your master is?"

Zhang Hong probed.

"I am just a wandering cultivator in the mountains, without any master or teacher."

Lu Yuan answered truthfully.

A rogue cultivator of the demon race, without a master?
The smile on Zhang Hong's face disappeared, and his regard for Lu Yuan immediately dropped several notches.

After some further probing, he finally confirmed that Lu Yuan was just a carefree demon cultivator with no background, no master, and not even a proper cultivation method.

How dare a mere rogue cultivator put on airs in front of me?
Zhang Hong laughed in anger, feeling an inexplicable surge of rage rising within him.

"Boy, Lin Hao is my personally taught disciple, yet you killed him without cause. You deserve to die!"

"However, considering the difficulty of your cultivation, as long as you hand over the two spiritual treasures of the Great Yue Kingdom's ancestor, I can let this matter go."

Zhang Hong said in a cold voice, his tone gradually becoming more arrogant.

Where was the slightest trace of his previous respectful and timid demeanor?

"So this is how your Xuanqing Sect operates—both obsequious at first and arrogant at second?"

Lu Yuan said calmly, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

With his experience and knowledge, how could he not see through Zhang Hong's little tricks?

If he were to hand over the Black Gold Shield and the Blood Spirit Armor, he would likely face Zhang Hong's swift and decisive attack immediately.

in turn.

If Lu Yuan keeps these two magical treasures in his own hands, Zhang Hong will be hesitant to act rashly against him, fearing the consequences.
"shut up!"

"How dare you, ignorant fool, speak ill of my sect?"

Zhang Hong was furious.

But he did not act immediately; instead, he looked at the people from the Great Yue Kingdom.

“Li Yue, the ancestor of the Great Yue Kingdom is dead. With your strength, you simply cannot resist the invasion of neighboring countries.”

"But you only need to hand over those two spiritual treasures to me, and I can not only help you kill this scoundrel and avenge the ancestor of the Great Yue Kingdom."

"And I can also promise to protect your Great Yue royal family for three hundred years. What do you think?"

"Elder, but..."

Li Yue's gaze shifted back and forth between Lu Yuan and Zhang Hong, unable to make a decision for a long time.

"Father, the senior saved my life..."

Liu Mingyan's eyes were slightly red as she pleaded, hoping that Li Yue could help Lu Yuan.

But Li Yue ignored him, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

Zhang Hong glanced at Liu Mingyan and suddenly burst out laughing.

"I knew it! Li Yue, why were you so hesitant? Turns out you were trying to win him over with your beauty."

"But if I remember correctly, her biological father should be someone else, right?"

Zhang Hong stared at Li Yue with a half-smile, and then casually revealed a shocking secret.

Princess Mingyan wasn't His Majesty's biological daughter?
Upon hearing this, the entire audience was shocked. Especially the high-ranking officials of the Great Yue Kingdom, whose eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

But upon closer examination, all of this was foreshadowed.

No wonder His Majesty has always been extremely indifferent to Princess Mingyan and her mother. Even when Mingyan's mother died on her bed, he never inquired about her.

A look of understanding appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Like begets like.

He said that how could a mediocre ruler like Li Yue, who was indulging in wine and women all year round, possibly give birth to a peerless genius like Liu Ruyan, who possessed the bloodline of the ancient dragon race?

It turns out that there was no blood relation between the two of them.

"Father, is this true?"

Liu Mingyan trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.

While I was shocked, I also felt somewhat relieved.

Even tigers do not eat their cubs.

But from childhood to adulthood, she never experienced any fatherly love or warmth from her father.

Despite being a royal princess, even an ordinary palace maid could speak ill of her.

Especially after recalling all her past tragic experiences, Liu Mingyan no longer felt any affection or sympathy for the man in front of her.

It can be said that from this moment on...

In her heart, Li Yue had completely become a stranger!
"Elder, what do you mean by this?"

Li Yue was so angry that he trembled all over, and in his heart he cursed Zhang Hong's whole family a thousand times.

Zhang Hong's actions have undoubtedly placed him on the opposite side of Lu Yuan, leaving no room for reconciliation.

"What, did I say something wrong?"

Zhang Hong sneered.

The Xuanqing Sect's spies were everywhere in the Dayue royal family; they even knew exactly what time Li Yue got up each day and what food he ate.

"As far as I know, Liu Mingyan's mother was brought back by you by chance when you went out to train years ago."

"But she gave birth to a child in less than nine months."

"Although you claim to the outside world that you are in love and that you were pregnant while you were away, how can you hide it from my Xuanqing Sect?"

Zhang Hong said casually, revealing all of Li Yue's secrets.

"enough!"

Li Yue clenched his fists and shouted angrily.

He thought that his devotion would win over Liu Mingyan's mother.

But little did she know that from beginning to end, her heart belonged only to that man!
Therefore.

That's why he turned his love into hatred and tacitly allowed all the palace maids and eunuchs to make things difficult for Liu Mingyan and her daughter!

"Zhang Hong, I agree to your terms."

"If you help me kill this adulterous couple, both of my Great Yue Kingdom's precious treasures will be yours!"

Looking at Liu Mingyan, whose features were strikingly similar to that vile woman, Li Yue felt an overwhelming sense of disgust and resentment.

"make a deal."

Zhang Honglang laughed loudly.

The two ancestral treasures of the Great Yue Kingdom are considered to be of the highest quality even within the Xuanqing Sect.

If only these two treasures could fall into my hands.

Then his strength will be greatly enhanced, and he will not be afraid even when facing a Creation Realm expert.

As for Lu Yuan, in his eyes, he was already a dead man!
The voice just fell.

An earth-shattering, terrifying aura erupted from Zhang Hong and crashed directly down on Lu Yuan.

"Senior, be careful!"

Liu Mingyan's heart tightened, and she immediately reminded him.

Zhang Hong is the Grand Elder of the Xuanqing Sect. His cultivation is already unfathomable, and he is not much weaker than a Creation Realm expert.

Not to mention.

He appears old, but in reality, he has been taking various precious pills and elixirs for many years, and his physical functions are at their peak.

Its life energy is more vigorous and vast than that of many young and strong men.

Whether in terms of strength or physical condition, they are far superior to the ancestor of the Great Yue Kingdom!

"No problem, watch me kill this old bastard!"

Lu Yuan was too lazy to get entangled with this group of people, so he directly pushed the Heavenly Ant Divine Skill to its limit.

Followed by.

His waist slumped slightly, and his back arched like a great dragon.

As the golden light surged, all his strength was gathered into his right fist.

From a distance.

Lu Yuan was like a fully drawn bow, ready to be released.

And his fist is like a crossbow bolt that can pierce through everything!

The Heavenly Ant Divine Skill excels at using the weak to defeat the strong, allowing the user to unleash power dozens of times greater than their own.

Moreover, Lu Yuan has experienced many reincarnations and has extremely rich combat experience.

The two combined.

Even a master at the Creation Realm wouldn't dare to take that punch head-on!
"not good!"

Upon seeing Lu Yuan's posture, Zhang Hong was shocked and immediately felt a strong sense of life-or-death crisis.

Originally, he wanted to test Lu Yuan's strength during the commission period.

But Lu Yuan didn't play by the rules at all, and immediately used a deadly technique!

Just as Zhang Hong was frantically trying to activate his spiritual treasure and protective techniques to block Lu Yuan's punch, it was already too late.

"boom!"

Lu Yuan threw a punch.

His entire body's energy surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, then transformed into an extremely condensed golden fist force that swept across the void.

It split the heavens and the earth in two, creating a long crack!

Faced with this earth-shattering punch.

Even though Zhang Hong was a Nirvana Realm expert, he couldn't defend himself in time.

He was struck by the force of the punch and before he could even scream, his body exploded and vanished into nothingness!
It's not just him.

Even the Xuanqing Sect disciples behind Zhang Hong were affected by the force of the punch and were instantly reduced to dust.

They vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated into thin air.

The power of one punch is so terrifying!
Li Yue and the other civil and military officials looked at the empty ground and felt a chill rise from their tailbone straight up to the top of their heads.

Zhang Hong and a group of Xuanqing Sect disciples just disappeared like that?
He was killed by Lu Yuan's punch, leaving not even a trace of ashes behind.

You must know that this is the Grand Elder of the Xuanqing Sect, a genuine Nirvana Realm expert!

And that's how he died?
Li Yue and the others were completely blank, feeling that the world was too crazy and had completely overturned their values ​​and understanding.

After a long time.

Li Yue and the others, who had just stood up, suddenly knelt heavily on the ground with a "thud".

He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, his voice trembling as he spoke!
"Senior, I was misled by slander and deceived by a villain just now."

"You're a magnanimous person, please spare my life for Mingyan's sake!"

"If you spare my life, I am willing to be your slave and never betray you for all eternity."

Li Yue was in tears; he was truly terrified this time.

"Mingyan, what do you mean?"

Lu Yuan turned his head slightly to look at Liu Mingyan.

But when Liu Mingyan looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, whose face was covered with tears and snot, she felt nothing but disgust and loathing.

“Senior, I have no connection whatsoever with the royal family of Da Yue.”

Liu Mingyan lowered her head and said softly.

Lu Yuan nodded, understanding what she meant.

"Tell me Mingyan's true origins and background, and I may spare your life."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

"really?"

Li Yue looked up in surprise, staring at Lu Yuan with eager eyes.

"But how can I know if what you're saying is true or false?"

"Remember, you have no right to bargain with me."

Lu Yuan's gaze was icy, and he flicked his finger.

An invisible sword aura shot out, instantly cleaving a minister kneeling beside Li Yue in two.

Hot blood gushed out like a spring, splattering all over Li Yue's face!
"I said! I said!"

"I can tell you anything you want to know!"

Li Yue was covered in blood, and looking at the corpse next to him, he trembled with fear and kept wailing. He didn't dare to negotiate with Lu Yuan anymore.

He then revealed everything he knew. (End of Chapter)
