I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

At that moment, a loud shout broke the tense atmosphere.

Lu Xiaoming felt something was wrong. Changming Sect was his newly acquired powerful ally, how could they be thrown into the dungeon?

He felt he had to step forward, and the boy immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "My father is the city lord of Ningze City! Who dares to touch me?!"

"..."

Many people are familiar with this city.

A rare independent city in the cultivation world, not controlled by any sect, a truly large city, and the cultivators inside are said to be very strong.

Mingxuan was inspired. He paused, looking at all the cultivators, and then slowly said, "My father is the head of the Ming family, and my grandfather is at the Void Refinement Realm. If you touch me, you'll be in trouble."

Ming Xuan knew that his grandfather had been in seclusion for a long time and it was impossible for him to come out, but that didn't stop Ming Xuan from shouting it out at this moment.

The Refinement of Emptiness realm is quite intimidating. In the entire cultivation world, it's considered a realm where one can practically do whatever they want.

If that evil cultivator in the secret realm hadn't been careless and hadn't been caught off guard by Lue Ying, who had slain him with a single sword strike, they would have been the ones to die after leaving the secret realm without the suppression of their cultivation level.

"..."

what?

Duan Hengdao was stunned. Could this really be done? Was it a matter of who had the richest father?

The Buddhist and Taoist practitioners had inscrutable eyes. They first glanced at Lu Xiaoming, "This matter has nothing to do with you, does it?"

Why are people from Ningze City getting involved in this mess?

Lu Xiaoming: "You can't say that. Since Ye Qiao chose me, it means I have a purpose."

He knew, of course, that Ye Qiao was after his powerful connections. After saying that, Lu Xiaoming, not forgetting to feign being a die-hard Ye Qiao fan, shouted, "You have no idea how amazing our Ye Qiao is!"

"..."

Depend on.

Where did this idiot come from?

Shenzi almost lost her smile. Where did Ye Qiao come from to save such an idiot?

Qin Huai was also somewhat surprised by her identity and asked, "You're a young city lord, didn't you bring anyone with you when you entered the Great Secret Realm?"

"I brought it." Lu Xiaoming muttered under his breath, "Later, the scene became too chaotic. When you were fighting over the Bodhi Fruit, there were demonic beasts and evil cultivators involved, so we quickly lost contact with the guards."

His original supporters were all missing, and since it was an independent city, and Ningze City was still far from the Five Sects, Lu Xiaoming had to cling to the powerful figures in front of him before his father arrived to pick him up.

Anyone with eyes can see that the truly impressive team isn't Ye Qiao; the truly impressive one is Ye Qiao.

He's not good at cultivation, he relies entirely on his father's protection. Now that he's out of the city, he'll find a new powerful backer for himself.

All he needs to do is grovel and suck up to them, and he'll be set for life.

This is Lu Xiaoming's way of surviving!

The divine son lowered his eyes. Even if he wanted to wipe them out in one fell swoop, he had to take into account the power behind them. Some aristocratic families were unreasonable when they were protecting their own. It was extremely unwise to anger a master of the Void Refinement stage.

"You can leave," he said to Mingxuan, choosing to back down. "The others must stay."

Not to be outdone, Song Hansheng raised his voice, staring directly at the Buddhist and Taoist prodigy, "I am the next designated head of the Song family." He sneered, his words particularly sarcastic, "What are you Buddhist and Taoist people anyway?"

The head of the family, we really can't afford to offend him.

The divine child's smile froze. He desperately wanted to take down this arrogant fellow regardless of the consequences, but clearly, that wouldn't work.

They cannot yet withstand the wrath of the Eight Great Families.

Mingyi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I am also a direct descendant of the Ming family."

Among the dozen or so people, three were from the Eight Great Families.

"To be honest," Shen Ziwei said softly, "my family actually owns a city too."

"..."

The Buddhist practitioners who were about to take action: "..."

Damn it. Why don't these rich kids with powerful connections just die?

The divine child's exquisite features twisted uncontrollably as he scanned the crowd and discovered that the easiest person to bully was Ye Qiao, who had no powerful backing whatsoever.
