Longzang

Chapter 361: Bold Madman
"Wait!" the woman exclaimed, forcefully pushing Wei Yuan away and trying to escape.

But even after her feet touched the ground, her upper body leaned backward, and she was pulled down again and dragged back. She kicked her legs in vain, but was still dragged back to the bed inch by inch.

The animal hides churned and the straw flew everywhere.

Amidst heavy breathing, Wei Yuan suddenly cried out in pain, and the woman seized the opportunity to escape.

This time she learned from her mistake and leaped off the bed, but before her hands touched the ground or her feet were completely off the bed, a large hand grabbed her delicate ankle!
With a whoosh, the woman disappeared into the straw.

In the darkness, the woman said haltingly, "Wait, wait a minute! Don't be in such a hurry, there's still plenty of time!"

Wei Yuan said, "Two men and two women, they're in a hurry!"

With all her might, the woman flipped over and pinned Wei Yuan down, gently kissing his lips, then his cheek and neck. Her hands opened Wei Yuan's clothes, kneaded his muscles, and gradually moved downwards.

Wei Yuan shivered, as if he were about to ascend to heaven, or as if he were about to fall into an abyss forever.

next moment……

"Ow!!"

Wei Yuan let out a howl and curled up into a ball like a shrimp.

The woman sprang from the bed, stomped her leg against the wall, and dashed towards the door like an arrow. Her two shapely, long, and gleaming white legs illuminated the entire room.

However, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became obscure and profound, as if the heavens had descended to earth. All sensations transformed into black and white, and all objects took on a granular quality, as if composed of countless particles, including people.

The woman froze in mid-air, slowly drifting towards the door. Panic filled her eyes, but her body was completely out of her control.

In this bizarre world, Wei Yuan moved with lightning speed, appearing beside the woman in a flash, gritting his teeth as he said, "Woman! You're playing with fire..."

However, Wei Yuan immediately recalled that in Xu Wenwu's file, this sentence was used as a negative example. Perhaps because the impression was too deep, Wei Yuan blurted it out unintentionally.

Wei Yuan shut up and stopped talking. He groped around to remove all her armor and then carried her back to bed.

The woman raised her fist, intending to punch Wei Yuan in the back. But her movements were as slow as slow motion, and by the time the painless punch finally landed, it was too late.

The wood is done.

In the darkness of night, the old woman gazed at the scene from afar. In her vision, the simple little stone house was shrouded in gloom, and the faint aura emanating from it made her tremble slightly.

From the surrounding stone houses, figures appeared one after another like ghosts, all silently watching the shadowy mass.

That wasn't darkness, but rather some force that separated that space from the rest of the world, causing people to only see darkness. As for what happened within that darkness, no one knows.

The old woman silently returned to the house, and the remaining shadows slowly disappeared as well.

Inside the stone house, Wei Yuan withdrew the manifested Yin-Yang Domain, and everything returned to normal.

The woman was finally able to move, and she pushed Wei Yuan with all her might, but he wouldn't budge. Her aura suddenly changed, and she shouted in a deep voice, "How dare you!"

Wei Yuan was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost broke the flagpole!

But the woman's change in demeanor was fleeting, leading Wei Yuan to believe it was his imagination. In an instant, she reverted to her ordinary self, gritting her teeth and using all her strength to try and push Wei Yuan down.

However, Wei Yuan's physical strength was unparalleled in the world. If it weren't for the Dao power maintaining it, the actual weight of his body could crush a woman. How could she possibly push him away?
Furthermore, the mortise and tenon structure naturally formed in the human body is a return to simplicity, almost in line with the Tao. Ancient people borrowed it to build tall buildings and mansions. Without unlocking it first, it would be impossible to push a person down.

But women are stubborn; they push with all their might, panting and gritting their teeth as they push.

After pushing it a few times, Wei Yuan became excited.

So the woman fell into the abyss, and also soared to the clouds.

The night was long.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Yuan sensed the outside. It was completely quiet outside; the birds were still asleep and not chirping.

The winter nights in the north were indeed long, and Wei Yuan was quite satisfied, continuing to work like a slave. As someone who still retained a shred of conscience, Wei Yuan was unwilling to be ungrateful unless absolutely necessary.

The sky... finally broke.

Wei Yuan stood up and let out a long breath. Although it was still dark before his eyes, there was light in his heart.

Wei Yuan finished dressing and said, "There's meat soup in the pot. You can sleep a little longer. I'll go to the temple by myself today."

The woman faced inwards, ignoring Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan didn't mind, laughed three times, and pushed open the door to leave.

The undead monsters in the temple were really unlucky today. Wei Yuan strolled leisurely, absorbing the Yin energy and gradually strengthening his Dao Foundation's spirituality.

Having already achieved great success in conquering vast territories, Wei Yuan's ambition was already exceptionally high. Furthermore, under Zhang Sheng's constant influence, it became even more uncontrollable. Naturally, Wei Yuan wouldn't miss a chance to kill undead monsters and harvest their Yin energy.

Now that his Dao Foundation has cultivated to the point that the earth has developed spirituality, it is already quite terrifying, but Wei Yuan always felt that it was still slightly lacking in domineering power. After all, it is not the heavens that have developed spirituality, nor is it chaos that has developed spirituality. And these two are not the ultimate; only the nothingness before the Dao gave birth to one is the strongest in a theoretical sense when lower-level cultivators discuss the Dao on paper.

The earth has a spirit, but it hasn't reached the point of dominating the world; it's only slightly superior to Xiaoyu.

Thinking of Xiaoyu reminded him of his old friends, and as Wei Yuan's lips curled into a smile, a pang of pain shot through his heart.

Upon entering the passage, the Dao Foundation Warrior appeared beside Wei Yuan. He was expressionless, but his eyes were bright; he held a sword and shield, and carried a gun that fired flying swords on his back. The Dao Foundation Warrior led the way into the passage, with Wei Yuan following behind, gun in hand. The two moved forward at a leisurely pace, reaping the undead monsters.

Wei Yuan carefully calculated the generation and consumption of every bit of Dao power, trying to minimize the amount of Dao power required to eliminate an undead monster.

At this moment, an undead monster entered Wei Yuan's consciousness. Using the eyes of a Foundation Establishment warrior, Wei Yuan clearly saw the undead monster's appearance. It still retained its human form, wearing a leather garment. The leather garment hadn't completely decayed. This undead monster possessed the strength of an early Foundation Establishment cultivator, clearly weaker than other undead monsters.

Wei Yuan continued deeper and arrived at the place where he had discovered the Dharma-like monster. The cave was littered with scattered bones, some human, some animal, accumulated over countless years.

Wei Yuan crossed this area and continued deeper into the territory.

The Dao Foundation Warrior in front wielded a heavy shield, whose defensive power was comparable to Wei Yuan's own body. With him in front, even if they were to run head-on into a Dharma Aspect monster, they could withstand some of the damage.

……

The Shattered Realm, Azure Nether.

This place is a survivor of a catastrophe, a scene of devastation.

At this moment, the cultivators of Taichu Palace gathered in the main peak council hall, but their auras were all weak and unstable. Some of them had injuries that could not be repaired, making them look extremely miserable.

Before the crowd stood a middle-aged man, who was full of energy and had all his limbs intact. He looked at the scattered Taichu Palace cultivators with exceptional arrogance.

He looked down at the cultivators and said, "My Xu family ancestor is merciful and has specially promised three favors. After you kneel and thank him, I will guarantee your safety. If you do not comply, the army will immediately march into the territory, and then don't blame me for being merciless and leaving no one alive!"

He cleared his throat and said, "These three great blessings are:
Firstly: You may choose to join the Xu family, be given the surname Xu, and each of you will be taught a move from the Thousand Autumns Sword Manual!

"Pah!!" Cui Yu spat out a mouthful of saliva.

The messenger hurriedly dodged, angrily saying, "Don't push your luck!"

Cui Yu sneered, "I am a member of the Cui family. You, the Xu family, are not worthy to ask me to change my surname!"

The messenger immediately said, "If you were Cui Tianlin, I certainly wouldn't have said these words! If you were in the Cui family, I still wouldn't have said these words. But now you stand in Qingming, on my Xu family's territory. In a mere Heavenly Foundation, which aristocratic family doesn't have dozens or even hundreds of members? Who knows who you are, who cares who you are?!"

Cui Yu's face turned ashen; this was the first time he had suffered a defeat in a verbal argument. At this moment, Master Chuhe tugged at him and said, "Let him finish speaking."

The envoy snorted and said, "You are indeed a wise man. I will put in a good word for you when I get back. The second favor is that someone from your family will be sent to take over the position of Jiedushi. All the official positions under the Jiedushi will remain unchanged, but the candidate may be changed."

"Thirdly, register and enroll. As long as people in the realm have formed a body, they can be given the status of private citizens of the Xu family. After that, they will no longer need to pay the poll tax or household tax, but only the taxes of the Xu family."

"With these three blessings, the Ancestor will protect you, and you can live in peace and prosperity within the realm, without having to fight to the death like before."

The Master Chuhe asked, "What if we don't accept it?"

The envoy sneered: "Right now, 100,000 private troops and 100,000 government troops are stationed outside the border. If you don't accept, our army will march in and slaughter everyone! Once we've wiped out all the troublemakers, this land will still be ours."

Seeing the growing killing intent among the cultivators, the envoy remained unfazed, merely sneering, "Without Wei Yuan, the power of the realm cannot be used, and your previous killing moves are useless. Mortals are just mortals! If Zhang Sheng dies, what will you use to stop my Xu family's many Dharma Aspect elders? I don't need to tell you the outcome of the fight, do I?"
"You shouldn't count on the sect either. The Taichu Palace is barely able to protect itself right now. The one who protected you last time is also seriously injured, and with Taotie Zhenjun watching her, she's completely immobilized."

After the messenger finished speaking, Master Chuhe said, "What the messenger said is indeed reasonable! As the saying goes, a dying man's words are good."

The envoy grew increasingly uneasy as he listened, and angrily demanded, "What do you mean by that?"

Master Chuhe laughed and said, "Actually, this old Taoist is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is used to being lazy and can't stand being restrained. So, the best way to make my mind clear is to kill you all, and then I'll pack my things and run away. As for how many mortals die here, it has nothing to do with me. You will bear the karma. I can only avenge them and kill a few more people with the surname Xu."

The envoy's arrogance immediately vanished.

When the Dharma Aspect True Person becomes shameless, it can be quite a headache; even a True Lord might not be able to handle it. Besides, the Primordial Palace isn't without True Lords; in fact, their numbers far exceed those of the Xu family.

At this moment, someone outside the door said, "When two countries are at war, envoys are not to be killed. This fellow is just a lowly envoy. Although he speaks arrogantly, killing him will not do any good. You should go back and tell your master that if he wants to start a war, then I have 20,000 elite soldiers from Southern Qi here. It will be a good opportunity to test the mettle of your private army!"
