Junior Sister must ascend this time!

After Shi Nian's death, Wang Jun was once again leaderless. Destroy it, really!

In one day, the king of a powerful family was deposed, the prince was killed by the princess, and finally the princess also died.

The soldiers, swords in hand, looked at each other, unsure whether to continue charging or simply lay down their weapons and disperse.

Si Mingche shook his fan. "It's good. A family should be together."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chilling aura behind him.

"Reunion?"

Jiang Mian stood behind him, looking at him with a half-smile, "Am I going to die too?"

"Of course not. Junior Brother is our family. How can we be like them, right?..."

Si Mingche snapped his fan shut, turned, and ran...

"Aaaaaah! Don't poke my butt!"

As the highest-ranking elder in the room, Elder Meng was more troubled than anyone else. The remaining Wang Jun were all holding swords and waiting for his next instructions.

He naturally did not want the fighting to continue. Although he could use the token to summon the powerful figures of the Illusionary Spirit Clan who were in seclusion to avenge the eldest princess, the royal army had suffered too many casualties this time. Continuing the fight would only put the Illusionary Spirit Clan in a situation of internal and external troubles.

Their Phantom Spirit Clan is no longer as powerful as it was a hundred years ago. The endless infighting among the three has also depleted most of the clan's resources.

Therefore, the wisest choice now is to select a wise ruler for the Phantom Spirit Clan and allow them to settle down again.

However, the Phantom King's offspring are few, and the bloodline that remains is...

Shi Yan, Shi Qi, Shi Jin...

Elder Meng shook his head instantly when he thought of the Second Prince's children. No, no, if any one of them became the Illusionary Spirit King, the future of the entire Illusionary Spirit Clan would be predictable.

Elder Meng watched Jiang Mian wrestling with Si Mingche and fell silent once more…

No, Princess, you should take him with you. What's the point of leaving him with this mess...?

Yun Qing patted her second senior sister, who was bristling with anger because of her disobedience, and looked at Elder Meng, "Little Meng, what's there to be conflicted about?"

"My fourth senior brother has the entire Chengtian Sect behind him. As long as he becomes the Illusionary Spirit King, the Illusionary Spirit Clan and the Chengtian Sect will always be on the same side."

"The Illusionary Spirit Clan does not participate in the affairs of the cultivation world, but your lack of competition and strife does not mean that others will not covet your clan's talents."

She knew Elder Meng's concerns. Her fourth senior brother's bloodline was not pure, and she couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't abuse his power and use the Illusionary Spirit Clan as a tool.

"I swear in the name of the sect leader that my fourth senior brother will never use the Illusionary Spirit Clan, much less put them in danger."

Pu Hengzhi: ...Is this how I use my name?

Elder Meng pondered for a moment, then said, "That's fine too..."

He then solemnly knelt down in Jiang Mian's direction, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The soldiers behind him exchanged glances, and after a moment of discussion, they all knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Mian, who was pinning Si Mingche to the ground and beating him: ? ? ?

Who are they calling? Me?

Pei Shubai pulled Jiang Mian up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and said through gritted teeth, "What are you standing there for?"

"It's Your Majesty's turn, can't you be a little more mature?!"

Immature Jiang Mian: ...Who the hell could have imagined that what Junior Sister said about ruling the Illusionary Spirit Clan was actually true rule?

He looked at Yun Qing with a complicated expression. Next time, he'd let his junior sister say something like "rule the cultivation world."

Yun Qing seemed to receive his signal and mouthed, "I'm considering it. I'll definitely do it next time."

Jiang Mian:…………

He said to Elder Meng and Wang Jun, who was kneeling, "Get up."

"Leave a group of people behind to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of you will come back to the palace with me to discuss the specifics."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Si Mingche, his face bruised and swollen, sat up. "Tsk tsk tsk, he really does have the air of a king of a clan now."

.........

For the next month, Yun Qing and the others did not rush back to Chengtian Sect, but instead accompanied Jiang Mian to handle the affairs of the Huanling Clan.

There are still many people who do not recognize his identity, and they have to stay and support him.

Yun Qing lay on the table, propping her head up with her fist. "I haven't seen Fourth Senior Brother for almost a month. I wonder how things are going..."

Pei Shubai picked up a cup of tea and blew on it. "Don't worry, Uncle-Master Yan Li is with him. Even if those people disagree, they should consider their own cultivation level."

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Mingche burst in, his hand fanning himself so fast it was almost a blur. "I'm exhausted! Quick... quick, give me some water..."

As he spoke, he snatched the tea from Pei Shubai's hand and gulped it down in one go.

Cen Ning glanced down at her teacup, silently protecting it, but still couldn't help but tilt her head back and drink it down, muttering softly, "This is mine."

Si Mingche rubbed his forehead. "Second Senior Sister, am I that kind of person?"

Cen Ning: "You are."

Pei Shubai said helplessly, "Alright, I asked you to inquire about Fourth Senior Brother's situation. How did it go?"

"It went fairly smoothly." Si Mingche sat down next to Yun Qing. "We persuaded half of them, beat the other half into submission, and a few are still taking a wait-and-see approach."

Yun Qing: "What about Shi Yan and the other two? Their father is dead. Although they don't have any direct relationship with Fourth Senior Brother, they probably won't easily acknowledge him as Fourth Senior Brother, right?"

"Not so," Si Mingche said. "Shi Yan and Shi Qi accepted it in no time, and they even brought many of the forces that Shi Jin had previously cultivated to submit."

"Shi Lang initially wanted to avenge his father, but after being beaten up by Shi Yan and Shi Qi, he changed his mind."

Yun Qing raised an eyebrow. These two are really good at adapting to changing circumstances.

Si Mingche nudged Yun Qing's arm. "Junior Sister, do you know why they accepted it so quickly?"

Yun Qing shook her head. This... shouldn't have anything to do with her... right?

"They said..." Si Mingche said mysteriously, "Jiang Mian's junior sister is so terrifying, are you going to refuse to acknowledge Jiang Mian as your king now, waiting for her to cripple you before you do so?"

Yun Qing: ………

"Am I scary? I'm not scary at all! I'm just innocent, kind, cute, and weak... um..."

Pei Shubai grabbed her mouth and said, "Alright, junior sister, stop talking! Your senior brothers and sisters can't stand it anymore."

Yun Qing blinked innocently; she was telling the truth!

Si Mingche continued, "However, if Fourth Junior Brother wants to gain the complete recognition of the Illusionary Spirit Clan, he must pass the trials in the Illusionary Spirit Clan's ancestral land."

Pei Shubai: "Fourth Junior Brother has entered the ancestral land?"

Si Mingche nodded, "He's been inside for two days. If he can receive the blessing of the ancestral land within seven days, he can pass the trial."

Yun Qing slapped Pei Shubai's hand away and said abruptly, "I feel like something's not right..."

Cen Ning immediately tensed up. "Something's not right? Could it be that the Illusionary Spirit Clan has some hidden power? Or is the ancestral land hostage for Fourth Junior Brother?"

Yun Qing shook her head, "It's not that Fourth Junior Brother is acting strangely, it's me..."

"I think I'm about to break through..."
