What a lucky world!

Chapter 259: Premonition of a Natural Disaster
Long Yunbo was leaning against the stone lion in front of the door, holding a grass root he had picked up from somewhere. He turned his head and saw Zhang Mu coming out with a sword in his hand.

"solved?"

Zhang Mu nodded.

"Where's that Chilong?" Long Yunbo continued, "I can help you take the responsibility for the Luo family's annihilation, but you have to have an explanation."

"With that Chilong as a witness, the problem won't be a big deal."

"She committed suicide for love, leaving behind only this." Zhang Mu said softly, then stretched out his hand to Long Yunbo, holding a round bead the size of an orange, but this round bead was covered with cracks, as if it would shatter at the next moment.

Long Yunbo glanced at the dragon ball, raised his eyebrows, and sighed softly.

"Alright, I can get by with this dragon ball!"

As he spoke, Long Yunbo reached out to take the dragon ball, but unexpectedly Zhang Mu withdrew his hand.

"This dragon ball will find its way out. As for the Luo family's affairs, just pretend you never came here."

"With your family background, this shouldn't be difficult to do, right?"

Hearing this, Long Yunbo smiled, withdrew his hand, and looked at Zhang Mu again. He said, "After all, the Luo family is a famous family bestowed by the royal family. If they were suddenly destroyed, there must be someone tracking them down."

"Are you sure it's okay if I don't help cover it up for you?"

Zhang Mu chuckled: "This isn't the first time I've wiped out an entire family!"

Long Yunbo's expression suddenly turned serious, and he asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Mu bowed and said, "Brother Long, please forgive me. When traveling in the martial arts world, it is best to be cautious, so I used a pseudonym before."

"My name is Zhang Mu, and I'm the leader of a martial arts village!"

Long Yunbo suddenly understood: "Master of Wu Village? No wonder..."

"Is it the Wuzhai under the Yiqi League?"

"That's not right. How can you, the leader of a martial arts village, know the Cold Dragon Nine Transformations spear technique?"

"Could it be that the Spear Immortal..."

"hiss……"

Long Yunbo couldn't help but gasp.

Zhang Mu heard this but did not explain.

He had agreed to tell him his identity and real name, but there was no need to explain the details so clearly. As for what Long Yunbo had thought of, it had nothing to do with him.

Long Yunbo seemed to have discovered a big secret. He made a gesture to seal his mouth and said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything."

"We at Jingying City only want to do business and don't have the energy to get involved in the ups and downs."

At this point, Long Yunbo suddenly smiled embarrassedly.

"Brother Zhang, since you've been honest with me, I won't hide anything from you."

"I'm not some side branch descendant of Jingying City, I'm a direct descendant."

After saying that, Long Yunbo looked at Zhang Mu as if to say, "I revealed a big secret," but Zhang Mu just nodded.

Long Yunbo explained, "We have a large number of descendants in Jingying City, and the status of the direct descendants is different."

Zhang Mu nodded again and said, "I understand."

Long Yunbo gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you the truth!"

"I am the grandson of the current Lord of Jingying City. I am in the top ten in the line of succession to the Lordship!"

Zhang Mu then looked at Long Yunbo again and nodded calmly: "Amazing!"

Long Yunbo:ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

No, brother, do you understand the value of my identity?

Zhang Mu thought for a moment and said, "I have a friend you should know."

"Who is it?" Long Yunbo asked subconsciously.

"Zhuge Nanxian!" Zhang Mu said.

Long Yunbo was stunned. "Zhuge Nanxian? Are you talking about the Saintess of the Nanzhao tribe, the little princess of Mingzhu City?"

Zhang Mu nodded.

"Are you familiar with each other?" Long Yunbo asked.

Zhang Mu took out his own Longdan Silver Spear and said, "She gave it to me."

Long Yunbo: ヾ(■_■)
"She also helped me learn the Taegeuk Sword Technique."

Long Yunbo:!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

Brother Zhang, why didn’t you say so earlier!
……

After settling the Luo family issue and obtaining the Yinhu Sword, Zhang Mu planned to return to Qianyuan Mountain. After exchanging tokens with Long Yunbo, the two parted ways at a crossroads in the city.

But before leaving, Zhang Mu had one more thing to do.

Wangjiang Tower.

The surging river rushes eastward in front of the building.

At this time, the sun was rising, and the morning light fell on the surface of the river, as if it had spread a layer of golden light.

Fishing boats dotted the river, their sails rustling and boat songs echoing. Huge fish leaped out of the water and then fell back in.

Zhang Mu stood at the simple dock extending forward from the bottom of Wangjiang Tower and took out the cracked dragon ball from his arms.

Although the feud between the Luo family and Chilong has ended, there are still a few things Zhang Mu doesn't understand.

First of all, where did the old man Guan’s spirit fish divination technique come from?

Then how did the Luo family know that Chilong was staying in Qingyuan City, and how could Old Man Guan lure her out?

But with the destruction of the Luo family and Chilong's suicide, it is likely that the answer will never be found.

Zhang Mu laughed at himself. The world is so vast, how could he possibly know everything?
After thinking about this, Zhang Mu threw the Chilong dragon ball into the river.

As the dragon ball entered the water, it shattered instantly, and golden luck scattered like small fish.

This is Dragon Luck.

When Long Yun appeared, he immediately attracted countless fish. They devoured the lucky fish, and the scales on their bodies also glowed.

A few fish seemed to have become smarter because of this, and they poked their heads out and looked at Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu said softly, "Don't thank me. It was this Chilong who asked me to send her back."

"I hope you too can one day cross the Dragon Gate Tide."

After saying that, Zhang Mu turned and left.

Going home!
……

The vast green mountains seem to be placed in the clouds.

An old man sat under a huge tree, as if he was sleeping.

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes.

"The Tiger Sword has been given away..." The old man raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

At this moment, an old woman's voice sounded in the old man's body: "Old man, what have you done?"

The old man blew his beard and said, "Is it okay to have a wet dream?"

"Do you still care about me sleeping? Or seal my soul as well?"

"Junior Master, please don't make things difficult for me." The old woman's voice said again and then disappeared again.

The old man frowned, stretched, and patted the tree. The tree immediately shook and transformed into a giant dragon. The dragon lowered its head, allowing the old man to sit on it, and then took off into the air, disappearing into the sky...

……

The central capital, the imperial palace, and the royal study.

The young Emperor Chiyang sat on the dragon throne, flipping through the pile of memorials.

Suddenly, the Chiyang Emperor's expression changed. He threw the memorial in his hand to the ground and shouted angrily, "How dare you!"

The eunuchs who were waiting on the side quickly knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Emperor Chiyang glanced at the kneeling eunuch, took a deep breath, and said, "Big Companion, this has nothing to do with you. Stand up."

Eunuch Wang Fuan stood up respectfully and asked boldly, "What has caused Your Majesty to be so angry?"

"It's still those censors!" Emperor Chiyang snorted coldly, "They submit reports every day, asking me to convict my teachers and ministers!"

"Shichen" is a respectful title given by the monarch to the ruling minister who holds the position of teacher or has the title of Taishi. However, there is only one Shichen mentioned by Emperor Chiyang, and that is Zhang Taiyue, who resigned from his post because of the Zhongjing battle collapse incident a few months ago.

The Chiyang Emperor spoke without stopping, saying, "My teacher resigned from his post and title for my sake. I heard that when he left the capital, he had only five carts of books, four or five sets of clothes for the four seasons, and only one old servant with him."

"In the mouths of these censors, such a person is actually a powerful official who can cover the sky with one hand!"

"Don't think I'm young and don't know. The teachers and ministers in power have always suppressed the aristocratic families. The reforms are just to reduce the burden on people's livelihood and increase national expenditure!"

"These censors are so well fed by the people behind the scenes that they don't know who their true allegiance is!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down..." Wang Fuan said soothingly, "If the Prime Minister knew what Your Majesty said, he would definitely be very pleased."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chiyang showed a sad look in his eyes.

"It's a pity that the teacher is gone."

"I heard from my mother that my teacher went to Dragon Island!"

"If my teacher were still here, I wouldn't have to work so hard every day..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fuan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Prime Minister's resignation from office and title is a grievance. He is no longer in good fortune, so why not reward him as a token of your grace? That way, the censors will understand your attitude and won't bother you with such matters again."

Emperor Chiyang's eyes lit up, and he patted Wang Fuan's shoulder approvingly: "Great companion, that's brilliant!"

Wang Fuan bowed and continued, "But if we rashly grant rewards, some officials will surely object. If they refute Your Majesty, it will only damage Your Majesty's dignity."

"I think it would be better to find a master of history and have him find some clues in the past. That way, Your Majesty can use the past to suppress the present and silence the gossips!"

Emperor Chiyang nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, that's how it should be."

"Otomo, please help me choose a suitable history lecturer!"

Wang Fuan immediately accepted the order: "I obey your command!"

However, the Red Sun Emperor didn't notice that a subtle cold light flashed in the eyes of the submissive Wang Fuan...
