Lord Holy Sword is unreliable again.

The scene before Wang Hong's eyes changed rapidly. Lu Qingyuan actually took him into the sky and flew south.

"Qingyuan, slow down, I'm scared!" Wang Hong gripped Lu Qingyuan's shoulders tightly, the rushing cold air making him shiver. "Aren't you afraid of being discovered now?"

"Hehe, what are you afraid of with me here? Don't hold on so tightly, or you'll fall and die!" Lu Qingyuan looked relaxed. The Supreme Elder had given her a magic weapon to conceal her whereabouts, so there were no outsiders present, and she naturally didn't need to pretend.

"Who is this Supreme Elder? Is he the trump card you said could definitely help me escape?"

"I guess so!" Lu Qingyuan snorted lightly. "I have plenty of trump cards up my sleeve; these are just the tip of the iceberg."

"Then why did you let me get messed up by that pervert Mo Jie!" Wang Hong said with an unfriendly expression, pinching Lu Qingyuan's waist hard.

"Ah! You're asking for death!" Lu Qingyuan said, loosening her grip and about to throw Wang Hong down. The wailing and begging for mercy in the air were endless, but were drowned out by a strange fluctuation.

The two finally landed in an inconspicuous corner. Lu Qingyuan looked at Wang Hong and gestured for him to release the people in the glass lamp.

A bright light shone from between Wang Hong's brows, and four people appeared in front of him from the glass lamp. Huang Qianyu's injuries had also recovered considerably, and she now appeared in human form, her beautiful figure standing alone to the side.

Wang Hong couldn't help but secretly admire it; the Holy Sword's power was indeed terrifying, truly a sacred healing artifact!

Lu Qingyuan said, "Wang Hong and I still have things to do, so let's part ways here."

Huang Qianyu was the first to say, "I want to follow Wang Hong."

Lu Qingyuan frowned. "Why aren't you going home? What are you doing following Wang Hong?"

Huang Qianyu looked at Wang Hong, a blush rising on her face, and lowered her eyelids: "My family has no influence in the Northern Continent. I'm all alone, it's too dangerous. Who knows if Mo Jie's men are looking for me!"

Seeing Lu Qingyuan's unfriendly expression, she immediately grabbed Wang Hong's arm and shook it, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just going with Brother Wang Hong!"

She thought to herself, "I still need to rely on the fire in the glass lamp to recover my strength!"

That ball of fire gave her a feeling of closeness...

Moreover, the Phoenix Islands in the Northern Continent and the Southern Continent are millions of miles apart! Even if she wanted to go back, she would have to proceed with caution!

When Huang San saw that Huang Qianyu was even faster than him, he became anxious and grabbed Wang Hong's leg, saying that even if he died, he would be Wang Hong's dead dog!

He and Yunying had already made up their minds to cultivate diligently in Wang Hong's glass lamp and wait for the people from Fengyun Palace to come and pick them up!

Moreover, Wang Hong has a mysterious identity and is protected by a powerful figure like Lu Qingyuan. Since they are unfamiliar with the area, of course they would follow Wang Hong!

"Qingxiang, Qingxiang wants to follow you too!" Qingxiang looked at Wang Hong and grabbed his other arm.

Since her father's dramatic change, she is no longer the little princess of the Northern Fox Clan. She must work hard to cultivate and change everything in her family!

Wang Hong remained silent.

Damn it, all they care about is my treasure!

However, these people are all extraordinary individuals and comrades-in-arms on the same front. At this moment, he must strengthen their connection, otherwise he will be unable to face the Qing Clan alone.

Wang Hong pulled Lu Qingyuan, who was about to speak, behind him and said to the others, "Heaven has brought us together here; it is fate, and also a bond. We all have a common enemy, so naturally we should work together now!"

"You all stay in the glass lamp for now. We'll make further plans after Qingyuan reports the matter of the Northern Fox Clan's Free and Unfettered Pavilion to their Supreme Elder!"

Lu Qingyuan watched the group return to the glass lamp with a gloomy expression and sighed softly.

Turning to look at Wang Hong, he sneered, "Lord Wang, you have quite the charm! Not only do beautiful women throw themselves at you, but you also have a loyal dog following you blindly!"

With a forced smile, Wang Hong pulled a handful of mid-grade spirit stones from his pocket and stuffed them into Lu Qingyuan's arms.

One mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones!

Lu Qingyuan's ninth-grade pill was worth no more than one hundred spirit stones.

Moreover, the actual value of a mid-grade spirit stone far exceeds that of a hundred low-grade spirit stones. According to his estimate, just this one given to Lu Qingyuan is worth at least several thousand low-grade spirit stones!

Lu Qingyuan snorted coldly, her shoulders trembled slightly, but she didn't say a word and just led the way alone.

Before long, the two arrived at the gate of a luxurious mansion.

Wang Hong wrapped his black robe tightly around himself, revealing only Mo Jie's face.

"No, could you guys be any more discreet?" Wang Hong looked at Lu Qingyuan as if she were an idiot.

"You wouldn't understand even if I explained. Hurry up and change back, that face is awful!" Lu Qingyuan looked at Wang Hong with disgust. "And take off that black robe too! If the Supreme Elder sees you, he'll think you're a thief!"

Wang Hong ignored her and simply changed his appearance back; he was wearing the Emperor's Armor underneath! How could he easily show it to others!

The Emperor Armor was fully donned, and each session lasted half an hour, so Wang Hong had no intention of taking it off!

However, defecating and urinating are a problem.

[Holy Sword, I need to pee again! Quickly convert my pee into spiritual energy!]

"My Supreme Elder is named Lu Wantang! Follow me, and don't talk nonsense! Don't act like someone from a small town!" Lu Qingyuan glanced at Wang Hong, whose expression was unpredictable, and she wondered what he was thinking. She took the lead and stepped into the magnificent hall.

Wang Hong followed Lu Qingyuan, turning left and right throughout the main hall, but couldn't see a single person. After walking for about half an hour, Wang Hong finally couldn't help but exclaim, "Where are you doing here? Playing a maze escape game?!"

"Shut up!" Lu Qingyuan's expression turned cold as she glared at Wang Hong.

Wang Hong's heart skipped a beat when he saw Lu Qingyuan's expression. Damn it, why is she so fierce? Does that Lu Wantang think she can eat me alive?!

Could it be that the Supreme Elder and she are not familiar with each other?

This is going to be difficult. I should have just run away. What's the point of seeing him?

"Lu Qingyuan, why did you bring this impolite brat to see me?" Wang Hong's voice seemed to disturb the beings in the hall, and a magnificent voice echoed in the hall.

Lu Qingyuan thought to herself, "Didn't you tell me to bring him to see you?!" But on her face, she maintained a respectful demeanor. "Reporting to the Supreme Elder, Wang Hong has discovered a great secret of the Northern Fox Clan, and he insists on reporting it to you personally!"

After saying that, he kicked Wang Hong, signaling him to speak.

Wang Hong felt something was wrong. Why did it feel like these two were acting against me?

Moreover, why did he come to see this so-called Supreme Elder in such a muddled way? And why didn't Lu Qingyuan tell him in advance that he needed to report to the Supreme Elder?

Wang Hong could only pretend not to hear, looking completely bewildered.

Seeing that Wang Hong was so uncooperative, Lu Qingyuan felt a little anxious, but she didn't dare to secretly send a telepathic message. This guy was really a handful!

A cold snort rang out, and the scenery in front of Wang Hong changed dramatically. The two of them appeared in a spacious room.

Before him stood an old woman with white hair and fine wrinkles. Her expression was unfriendly, and her cloudy old eyes were fixed on Wang Hong.

"So you are Wang Hong?"

Sure enough, this old man even knows my name! It seems Lu Qingyuan betrayed me long ago!

Lu Qingyuan felt Wang Hong's questioning gaze and was about to explain when Lu Wantang said, "Don't look at me like that. It was Starship City Lord Qingyan who told me about your situation!"

Wang Hong was shocked. How come Qing Yan was everywhere?

What exactly does Qingyan know about me? Is it the Holy Sword? Or is he an extraterrestrial?

"What did you find in the ancestral hall of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?" The old woman scrutinized Wang Hong's black robe with an unfriendly expression.

"You know all this?" Wang Hong was shocked; a strong sense of conspiracy permeated the air.

"Lu Qingyuan, since he doesn't trust us, why did you bring him to see me in the first place? Take him away!"

Lu Qingyuan kept giving Wang Hong meaningful glances. Was this guy an idiot? He already knew the secret of the Xiaoyao Pavilion. The reason he asked Wang Hong to tell him was to make the Supreme Elder look at him with new respect!

"Wang Hong, if you trust me, then tell the Supreme Elder everything!" Lu Qingyuan's expression turned cold, his threat palpable.

"Alright, since Qingyuan has spoken, then I'll tell you." Wang Hong cleared his throat and then vividly recounted the story of those divine beasts. Especially when he talked about the fiery red little fox, Wang Hong looked heartbroken and wished he could eat Lu Feng alive!

Lu Wantang's face was gloomy, his wrinkles were squeezed together, making him look ferocious and terrifying, and his breathing became rapid.

After Wang Hong finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the mission of the Holy Sword.

[Project Sword Forging: Investigating all the secrets behind Lu Qingyuan and the Lu family]

Is this mission still not complete? Wang Hong began to have deep doubts about the Holy Sword...

After a long while, Lu Wantang's expression returned to normal, and she said calmly, "I understand."

A white light flashed between her brows and flew out of the main hall.

Seeing that Lu Wantang didn't intend to explain, Wang Hong couldn't help but ask, "Elder, when are we going to rescue those divine beast descendants? I promised them!"

"Starship City is already in turmoil; this matter needs to be discussed, otherwise, a single mistake could have far-reaching consequences!"

Lu Wantang then turned to look at Lu Qingyuan, whose face was full of concern, and sighed, "Qingyuan, the clan leader has given orders that you must complete your wedding with Ji Duanyi tomorrow!"

"What? Why? Didn't the clan leader say that completing this mission would..." Lu Qingyuan's expression changed drastically, her face filled with disbelief, and she even became incoherent.

"This was a decision made personally by the clan leader. Even as a supreme elder, I have no right to interfere," Lu Wantang said, shaking her head indifferently.

"But you are my protector!" Lu Qingyuan's eyes welled up with tears as she stared unblinkingly at the old woman before her, Lu Wantang. "You are a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator..."

Lu Qingyuan stopped speaking. How could someone at the Nascent Soul Realm not be able to protect her? Presumably, she had become a pawn, a bargaining chip in the negotiations between the Eastern Continent Spirit Fox and the Qiongqi Ji family.

It turns out, this was all orchestrated by the Eastern Fox Clan! Even Lu Feng was just one link in their scheme...

Upon hearing this, Wang Hong understood that it wasn't Lu Qingyuan who sold him out, but rather that Lu Qingyuan had been sold off in a package deal, and he, Wang Hong, had become part of her dowry!

Holy crap!

"Wang Hong, the clan leader is quite interested in you!"

Lu Qingyuan's expression changed, and she couldn't help but shout in a delicate voice, "This matter has nothing to do with Wang Hong!"

Lu Wantang, however, seemed not to hear and continued, "Originally, I did plan to rescue Lu Qingyuan during her wedding and elope with her." She looked calmly at Lu Qingyuan, then turned to Wang Hong, "But your appearance changed everything!"

"Me? What did I do? After I rescued Lu Qingyuan, we could have just run away! If it weren't for your damn mission, why would Lu Qingyuan have risked her life!" Wang Hong was practically cursing. How could this old man turn the tables on him!

Lu Wantang didn't pay attention to Wang Hong's tone, but patiently explained, "You caused chaos in the ancestral hall, and City Lord Qingyan sensed Qingyuan's signal, so he came to investigate. Unexpectedly, Lu Feng attacked the moment Qingyan appeared above the Lu family, and the two engaged in a fierce battle."

"Later, more members of the Qiongqi tribe came to help, and Qingyan gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. I wanted to help him, but I secretly sensed a murderous aura, so I secretly protected Qingyan and took him back to the city lord's mansion to recuperate."

"The Qiongqi tribe dares to help Lu Feng and oppose the city lord. This has violated the laws of the Great Nian Dynasty! Even though the Dragon Emperor has been out of the world for a long time, the Dragon Court will certainly not let this go."

"For some reason, the clan leader has made up his mind to get involved in this mess by arranging a marriage with Lu Qingyuan."

"Although I am the supreme elder of my clan, there are some things I cannot do arbitrarily." Lu Wantang sighed, his face wrinkling. "The Ji family, the Northern Fox Lu family, their behavior is abnormal, and even our Eastern Continent Lu family is beyond my understanding. The waters behind this are too deep..."

"Qingyuan, I watched you grow up, how could I abandon you!" Lu Wantang looked into Lu Qingyuan's eyes, her heart aching. "I just never expected you to give me such a hard look for the sake of a man!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyuan's face was filled with guilt. She was indeed agitated. "I... I was indeed agitated, but you are the closest person to me. The thought that even you have abandoned me makes my heart ache!"

Wang Hong questioned, "Since you won't just stand by and do nothing, why would Lu Qingyuan marry this damned White Emperor?"

Lu Wantang gave Wang Hong a playful look. "What, you're not convinced? Qingyuan will be fine. After tomorrow, she'll still be herself. But you, that's not necessarily true!"

"What happened to me? What are you going to do to me!" Wang Hong looked terrified and cast a helpless glance at Lu Qingyuan.

"The clan leader wants to see you. You will stay here and wait for him. Don't go anywhere else. Qingyuan, go and find him a place to rest."

"At dawn tomorrow, all the elders of my Spirit Fox Clan will arrive to personally attend the wedding!"

"You may all leave!"
