You, a spoiled young master, actually became a god by investing in the Empress and getting a bargain

Looking at Lu Yanzhen, who was somewhat hysterical.

For a moment, it wasn't just the Marquis of Ningguo's family that was surprised.

Even the people from the Three Absolutes Palace showed surprise.

At this moment, Xiao Yunting revealed a meaningful smile.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yunting was seen shouting into the woods beside him.

"Dad!"

"If you don't show yourself soon, your only son will be killed by that old bastard Lu Boqian!"

As Xiao Yunting's voice faded.

A hearty laugh echoed through the woods!

"Ha ha!"

"My son, don't panic!"

"I am coming, Father!"

There stood a burly middle-aged man dressed in a scholar's robe.

A troop of soldiers clad in full black armor emerged from the nearby woods!

The moment I saw the burly man's face clearly.

Lu Boqian's face also turned completely gloomy!

"Xiao Wanjun!"

What are you doing here?

It wasn't just Lu Boqian.

Even Zhuang Xuan, who was subdued by Jiang Li Mo at the first moment.

At this moment, he also showed a look of horror.

"He actually had a backup plan!"

"I... deserve my defeat!"

Xiao Wanjun rode his horse slowly to the middle of the standoff between the two sides.

He looked at Lu Boqian with great interest.

"My son has sensed unusual activity from the demons and monsters of Wansui Mountain."

"Therefore, I request permission from His Majesty."

"I've brought the Xuanjia Army to inspect the situation at Wansui Mountain!"

"Unexpectedly, we encountered the Marquis of Ningguo, who inexplicably led his troops to ambush and kill my son and the fellow Daoists of the Three Absolutes Palace!"

"Shouldn't the Marquis of Ningguo give me an explanation?!"

These words were spoken.

Lu Boqian's face twitched involuntarily!

But she still managed to force a smile.

"The Martial Marquis of Zhenguo is joking!"

"We also noticed something strange about the monsters on Mount Wansui."

"Therefore, I brought my personal guards from the Ningguo Marquis's residence to investigate."

"I happened to run into fellow Daoists from the Three Absolutes Palace who were besieging a demonic beast, so I came to offer my assistance!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanjun nodded noncommittally.

"Since it's a misunderstanding..."

"Then Marquis Ningguo... why aren't you leaving with your men!"

Things have come to this point.

With the array destroyed, Xiao Wanjun led the Xuanjia Army to the scene.

Lu Boqian understood this very well.

His scheme to build the Three Absolutes Palace has completely failed.

Even though I am unwilling.

We had no choice but to retreat!

Otherwise... that would be blatant defiance of the imperial decree!

At that time, it would be equivalent to giving the Three Absolutes Palace and Xiao Wanjun an opportunity to make a move!

He took a deep look at Xiao Yunting in the crowd.

He opened his mouth.

"Everyone says that the heir of the Marquis of Zhenguo is a good-for-nothing wastrel."

"Having seen it today... I realize it was all nonsense!"

"The heir of the Marquis of Wu has kept his identity well hidden!"

Done.

Lu Boqian also looked at Jiang Limo.

"Please, Palace Master Jiang, open this four-sided killing formation and allow us to leave!"

Upon hearing this...

Jiang Limo first took the wine flask from his waist and took a big gulp.

Only then did he speak.

"The Marquis of Ningguo may leave."

"My killing formation is only for killing demons."

As he spoke, Jiang Limo took another big gulp of wine.

Having received an answer, Lu Boqian no longer hesitated.

He immediately turned his horse around and, with his personal guards and Lu Yanzhen, sped straight down the mountain!

Seeing this, Xiao Yunting spoke up somewhat unhappily.

"Are you two kidding me?!"

"This guy clearly has ulterior motives!"

"Such a great opportunity"

"Why not just kill Lu Boqian directly?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanjun suddenly raised an eyebrow!

He punched Xiao Yunting squarely on the forehead.

"You're asking for it again!"

"How dare you talk to me like that!"

Xiao Yunting cried out in pain.

Some were unconvinced.

"That's exactly right!"

"I did so much preparation, and I still almost got beaten to death."

"The purpose is to eliminate any potential problems at the outset!"

"You should release Lu Boqian and Lu Yanzhen now."

"Isn't this like letting a tiger return to the mountains?"

Looking at Xiao Yunting's body covered in wounds.

Siew Wan-kwan's tone also softened slightly.

"son!"

"It's not that your father didn't want to deal with Lu Boqian."

"We absolutely cannot touch him right now!"

"That old bastard is always cunning; who knows what other tricks he has up his sleeve?"

"If we act rashly, he might escape."

"That old bastard will definitely do something desperate."

"Furthermore, the Great Yong Dynasty is now eyeing our Qian Yuan Dynasty with covetous intent."

"At that time, beset by internal and external troubles, my Qian Yuan Dynasty will truly be in danger!"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Limo also spoke.

"Yun Ting, your father is right."

"Lu Boqian is, after all, the Marquis of Ningguo!"

"Bringing him down won't be that easy."

"At most, you've proven that he's dealing with the Three Absolutes Palace."

"Taking action against Lu Boqian without clear evidence of treason should not be undertaken rashly."

"On the contrary, it might arouse the emperor's suspicion towards your Marquis Wu's mansion."

"They believe it's your Marquis Wu's mansion purging dissidents!"

Despite being displeased, Xiao Yunting listened to their advice.

But he also understood Xiao Wanjun's predicament.

He immediately said no more.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Wanjun's gaze also shifted to Zhuang Xuan.

"Palace Master Zhuang!"

"They caused such a huge incident, almost leading to the destruction of the Three Absolutes Palace."

"Come with me to the Ministry of Justice."

"I hope it won't be too difficult for you?"

Upon hearing this...

Zhuang Xuan, whose cultivation had been sealed by Jiang Li Mo, also gave a wry smile.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain; there's nothing more to say."

"But I am unwilling to accept being outmaneuvered by Lu Boqian and Lu Yanzhen!"

"If I could, I would truly like to step forward and testify to the disloyal intentions of the Marquis of Ningguo's household!"

"Unfortunately, who would believe a traitor from the Three Absolutes Palace who associates with demonic beasts?"

Before Zhuang Xuan could finish speaking...

The Azure Wolf King suddenly knelt down on the ground.

He pleaded.

"I implore you all to spare my master's life!"

"I am willing to take all the blame for the master!"

For a moment, everyone was moved.

Unexpectedly, the ruthless and bloodthirsty Canglang Emperor was willing to go to such lengths for Zhuang Xuan.

However, it was Zhuang Xuan who spoke at this moment.

"My little wolf, this matter is no longer your concern."

"It is I who have dragged you down."

As he spoke, Zhuang Xuan scanned the crowd present.

He then spoke up.

"Gentlemen!"

"This time, Zhuang Xuan has really messed up."

"Not only did he lose everything, but he also almost caused the Three Absolutes Palace's lineage to be cut off."

"But I hope that you will grant me two requests, considering our years of camaraderie."

Upon hearing this...

Jiang Limo and Lian Nishang both looked at Xiao Wanjun beside them.

Seeing this, Xiao Wanjun also spoke up.

"As long as the demands aren't too unreasonable."

"I can turn a blind eye to this."

Seeing this, Zhuang Xuan also cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Wanjun.

"Then thank you very much, Lord Marquis."

As he spoke, Zhuang Xuan also looked at Xiao Yunting.

"Yun Ting!"

"You are the most talented disciple I have ever seen!"

"It's just a pity... you're not my disciple!"

"But I still want to pass on my mantle to you."

"If you're interested, then give it a try... If not, then find me a successor to carry on my legacy."

"May I?"

Xiao Yunting did not answer Zhuang Xuan immediately.

It would be a lie for Xiao Yunting to say he didn't want Zhuang Xuan's legacy of thunder magic!

Having a naturally formed Dao body, he is able to directly point to the origin of the Dao!

I'm never afraid of biting off more than I can chew.

But he is now Jiang Liming's disciple, and to accept another master would naturally require Jiang Liming's consent.

But before Xiao Yunting could speak...

Then they heard Jiang Li Mo's voice.

"Yun Ting, accept it!"

Xiao Yunting nodded upon hearing this.

He went straight to Zhuang Xuan and kowtowed three times.

Seeing the scene before my eyes.

A smile suddenly appeared on Zhuang Xuan's face.

"Good! Good! Good!"

With the three "good" words spoken.

Zhuang Xuan raised his hand and touched Xiao Yunting's brow.

A landmine technique called "Dongzhen Yulei Jing" appeared in Xiao Yunting's mind!

"This is what I've learned in my life!"

"I only regret that I'm too untalented to go any further!"

"But I believe... this thunder magic will shine brightly in your hands!"

Upon seeing this.

Lian Ni Chang was also filled with mixed feelings.

Although she was angry and resented Zhuang Xuan for disregarding their camaraderie and almost causing the Three Absolutes Palace to perish, she was still furious.

But looking at Zhuang Xuan's dejected face now...

Yet, I felt a pang of guilt.

"Tell me your second request!"

Seeing that Lian Ni Chang took the initiative to talk to her.

Zhuang Xuan nodded slightly.

He then looked at the Azure Wolf King beside him.

"My wolf cub, everything he does is at my command."

"I want you to let it go; I'll take full responsibility!"

"If you're worried..."

"You could establish a master-servant contract with it... and make it a guardian spirit beast of the Three Absolutes Palace."

"Consider this a small compensation I can offer to the Three Absolutes Palace!"
