Chapter 533 Open

"Third brother."

Mi Nianhan spoke:
"What do you know about that place?"

“I don’t know much, after all, it happened a thousand years ago.” Li Xianshan took a deep breath:

"A thousand years ago, when Mount Mang was first established, the world initially took it lightly. The Divine Dynasty simply sent demon slayers from the surrounding area to investigate, but..."

"The appearance of the Demon Saint of Mangshan shocked the world. The Divine Dynasty dispatched troops to suppress him, which led to a great war."

"That battle resulted in the fall of three top-tier experts, including the Demon Lord Lu Wu."

Mi Nianhan nodded.

The most powerful beings in the demon race are called Demon Lords, while Demon Saints are the strongest beings in the demon race.

Although the Demon Lord is powerful, he can still be killed.

Demon Saint

So far, only one has died, and it was by suicide, transforming into the annual imperial dew that blesses the demon race.

"Second brother."

Li Xianshan spoke:
"Actually, all three families in Taiyuan Prefecture are related to the Lu Wu bloodline?"

"Oh!" Mi Nianhan raised an eyebrow:

"The Nie family, the Zhou family, and the Yan family of the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Not bad." Li Xianshan nodded.

"The Nie family are descendants of the general who besieged and killed Lu Wu, and they still pass down their battle formation techniques to this day."

"The Yan family's ancestors were prison officials of the Divine Dynasty, who once set up a grand formation to trap and kill Lu Wu. As for the Zhou family..."

"The ancestors of the Zhou family were originally servants of the He family. Later, when the He family declined, the Zhou family, acting as servants, took over the He family's property. The He family were originally disciples of the Tianzong sect and were also descendants of the experts who besieged Lu Wu."

"Tsk tsk..." Mi Nianhan shook her head and clicked her tongue lightly.

"So, all three families know that this place contains the divine palace that 'Lu Wu' transformed into after his death?"

"Are they guarding this place because they're searching for Lu Wu's bloodline, hoping to open that divine palace?"

“The Zhou family might not know,” Li Xianshan said.
"The Zhou family has only been around for two hundred years, and they have not received the core teachings of the He family."

"The He family's Guanghan True Skill and Ice River True Qi are both Heavenly Sect inheritances that point directly to the first rank, while the Zhou family's Xuanbing Force can only be cultivated to the sixth rank at most."

Mi Nianhan seemed to be deep in thought.

With his peak fifth-rank cultivation, it wouldn't matter if the three major families of Taiyuan Prefecture knew the secret.

but,
There are also disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect in the city.

Moreover, judging from the importance that the Daoist Sect attaches to Qian Hu, they probably already know about the Divine Palace.

This is troublesome!
Moreover, the fact that some disciples of the Zhenwu Sect are now returning home to visit their families has made the situation even more complicated.

Fortunately, the Zhenwu Sect should be unaware of this matter, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

“Although Junior Brother is quite capable, with the methods of the Dao Seeking Sect, it’s only a matter of time before they find this place.”

Mi Nianhan frowned deeply:
"It will take some time for my elder brother to arrive, and besides..."

"If he can come, then the experts from the Dao Seeking Sect can also come. At that time, a fierce battle between dragons and tigers will be inevitable."

Li Xianshan nodded.

In fact, both of them knew that although the elder brother they spoke of was strong, he was by no means stronger than the Dao Seeking Sect.

“So…” Mi Nianhan spread his hands:
"What are you going to do?"

Looking at Qian Hu, who was unconscious in the iron cage, Li Xianshan's expression changed, and finally he gently clenched his hands together.

"Open the Divine Palace and let's go in first. Before the Dao Seeking Sect finds out about this place, we'll take as much as we can."

"good!"

Mi Nianhan lightly clapped her hands:
"Just to my liking."

The Divine Palace is something far beyond their control; making a quick buck and maximizing their profits is the only sensible thing to do.

a few days later.

Zhu Shuang'er, carrying a bulging bundle on her back, bowed deeply to Zhu Ju and the others.

"Big brother."

She's gotten used to calling Zhu Ju "Big Brother" now, as if the two of them were really siblings.

"You are already at the seventh rank, and you have the pills I left behind. You have a great chance of reaching the sixth rank before you turn forty. At that time, you can go to the mountain to find me, and perhaps you can join the True Martial Sect."

"There's absolutely no need for that," Zhu Ju said, waving his hand with a smile.

"You seem alright, but there's no need for you to become my apprentice."

"Hehe..." Zhu Shuang'er chuckled softly:

"Brother, do you perhaps look down on the True Martial Sect?" "Never mind!"

She sighed softly and said:
"Thanks to the guidance of my elder brother and Miss Ming, I realized that what Master asked me to find was not a home, but the one I held dear in my heart."

"Only by having something to hold onto can one go further, but unfortunately I haven't found it yet."

"No rush," Zhu Ju said slowly.
"You're still young, take your time and you'll find it eventually."

"Yes." Zhu Shuang'er nodded.

"That……"

"goodbye!"

Her voice carried a hint of reluctance, and her gaze swept over the group, her beautiful eyes slightly reddening.

Parting is always bittersweet.

Although old friends may change, they are still old friends.

"Goodbye." Zhu Ju waved his hand, his brows suddenly furrowing, and he subconsciously rubbed his temples.

The way of the perfect man can be known by foresight.

His ability to cultivate his primordial spirit in the Dharma-ending Age demonstrates a profound foundation that would have been sufficient for him to attain immortality in ancient times.

Therefore, there will be certain premonitions in the dark.

As now.

The moment he uttered the words of farewell, he felt that he would see Zhu Shuang'er again soon.

strange?
Zhu Shuang'er was going to the front line, while he himself was going to lead the Zhu family to Wanhu Island in Shuipo to cause trouble.

What other interactions will the two have in the near future?
"goodbye!"

Zhu Shuang'er took a deep breath, and released a paper kite from her sleeve. With a flash of light, a crane quietly appeared on the spot.

"Wow!"

The crane raised its neck and sang a long song, its wings fluttering gently, and it carried Zhu Shuang'er straight into the sky.

Looking down from above, the vast city gradually shrank, and the figures of people could no longer be seen.

But deep down, she could feel a gaze upon her.

After regaining her composure, Zhu Shuang'er gently patted the crane's back, and with white clouds surrounding her, she soared towards a Taoist temple.

soon.

Zhu Shuang'er leaped off the crane's back and landed lightly. The crane once again transformed into a kite, which she then tucked into her long sleeve.

"Junior sister."

Ji Wenchang quickly came forward, his face full of enthusiasm:

"You're back."

"Ah."

Zhu Shuang'er nodded, and somewhat uncomfortably stepped aside:
"Senior brother, I hope you haven't caused any problems?"

"No." A hint of displeasure flashed in Ji Wenchang's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, waving his hand and laughing:

"We're not the only ones heading to the front lines to provide support; a few days' delay won't matter."

"Besides..."

He smiled and continued:

"We still have things to do in Taiyuan, so we won't be leaving anytime soon; in fact, we'll be going back."

"Huh?" Zhu Shuang'er was taken aback:
"Something to do?"

"go back?"

She looked at Yuan Henshui, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, behind her and asked, puzzled:

"Senior Brother Yuan, what does this mean?"

"Before setting off on this journey, a senior member of the sect divined my fate," Yuan Henshui said slowly, stroking the bark of the willow tree.
"The senior said that there will be an opportunity waiting for me on this journey, and if I can obtain it, I will have hope of attaining the true path."

"now……"

“I sensed that the opportunity lies in Taiyuan Prefecture.”

"Ah!" Zhu Shuang'er blinked:

"If that's the case, why doesn't Senior Brother stay in Taiyuan Prefecture? He could also seek opportunities there."

“Heh…” Yuan Henshui shook his head:

"If I were here, the opportunity would not appear; only by leaving will it truly come into being."

"Junior Sister Shuang'er, have you ever heard of the Demon Lord Lu Wu?"
