Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

As he spoke, Mu An's smile widened, and he even pointed to the soldiers who had surrounded him.

"This has nothing to do with me. You brought this trouble upon yourself. Don't say I'm being too high-profile."

The muttering stopped abruptly. Looking at the soldiers surrounding the two of them and Mu An's ambiguous smile, Mu Ling'er suddenly came back to her senses.

Looking around at the crowd surrounding them, Mu Ling'er suddenly realized just how outrageous her actions had been.

With so many people staring at her, Mu Ling'er felt so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Unfortunately, the marble-paved road was so neat and orderly that there was nowhere to hide.

Accustomed to being straightforward, Mu Ling'er didn't realize that this wasn't her territory, and that Qishan Dao wasn't a place where everyone would agree with whatever she said.

Before you know it, you've gotten carried away.

Seeing Mu Ling'er's predicament, Mu An not only didn't help her, but instead seemed to be enjoying himself, whispering devilish words to Mu Ling'er.

"What do you mean? Do you mean chop them up? Slaughter them? Or kill them all?"

Little Ling'er, don't worry. Just say the word, and I'll clear the place out completely. I guarantee there won't be any ashes left.

Everyone present is dead, so naturally no one will know you were here, and it won't affect your plan to operate discreetly.

The devilish words infuriated Mu Ling'er, who glared fiercely at Mu An.

He'll just make fun of her!

Just as she was about to reason with the soldiers who had surrounded her, a middle-aged man in a python robe came running hurriedly from the direction of the inner city.

Without anyone explaining, Mu Ling'er could tell that the person was in a great hurry, visibly so.

He was so anxious that his hair was disheveled and he didn't even put on shoes. He rushed over barefoot, and the dusty soles of his feet said it all. No one knew how far he had run.

Paired with that bright yellow, noble python robe, it looked utterly ridiculous.

"Get out! All of you, get out! You have all neglected my distinguished guest, and I will hold you accountable!"

King Xiang!

The newcomer's noble status caused the crowd, who had been waiting to see a joke, to retreat in surprise. Their gazes toward Mu An and Mu Ling'er became filled with doubt and uncertainty.

In a typical story, this would probably be a standard face-slapping scene of someone showing off.

But now, both Mu An and Mu Ling'er are silent.

The problem seems to have been resolved peacefully, but for some reason, I feel even more awkward now.

Given their status and position, this kind of scene is nothing short of awkward.

With this in mind, Mu An raised her right hand.

Five-colored spiritual light burst forth from his hands, and the dazzling light swept across the city gate, causing everyone present to close their eyes.

When the light faded, one-sixth of the people in front of the city gate had disappeared. When everyone opened their eyes again, the three had vanished.

The soldiers, who had formed a circle, scratched their heads in confusion and returned to their posts.

"That's strange, why are we standing in a circle? What were we thinking of doing just now?"

"Alright, alright, let's get back to work. We can't let the general see us slacking off!"

"Boss, do you feel like something's not right?"

"What's wrong?"

"Why are there so few people in front of the city gate today? I remember it was packed with people not long ago!"

"You must be mistaken. This person can't just disappear into thin air, can they?"

"Wait a minute, boss, it seems like a few of our brothers are missing too."

"What?!!"

……

"Da'an, did you just kill someone again?"

"Nonsense, I didn't kill anyone. I just killed a few bugs on the side."

"No... this is Qi'an City. If you act so recklessly, who knows if the person who dies might be some troublesome individual?"

"So what if I killed him? What's the big deal? I really don't believe anyone would dare to cause me trouble!"

Besides, I've been merciful enough; I didn't even throw them into the pigsty for people to admire. I've been very kind.

"I... never mind, they're just a bunch of corrupt officials, killing them is fine. But... next time you're going to kill someone, could you at least tell me beforehand? It's always like this, it makes me very worried."

"I'll definitely do it next time."

……

"Lord Mu, Miss Mu, I was unaware of your presence today. I have failed to greet you properly."

This farce at the city gate is truly disrespectful, and it is entirely the fault of the young prince.

Please come to my residence for a visit, so that I may treat you both well as a token of my apologies.

"The princess has been talking about you, Miss Mu, every day these days, hoping to see you again..."

It is located 800 meters outside the Prince Xiang's Mansion on the Second Ring Road.

The figures of Mu An and his two companions appeared out of thin air. As soon as they landed, Xiang Wangjun Changning bowed respectfully.

The moment the incident occurred at the city gate, five pairs of eyes were cast from different directions.

After figuring out who had done it, all five pairs of eyes simultaneously withdrew.

The next second, four projections appeared one after the other on Tianqi Garden.

The projection of Emperor Qiwen spoke first, asking the current retired emperor Jun Cheng'an a question.

"Cheng'an, what's going on? Why is the Five Elements True Lord in Qi'an City at this time? And who is that junior beside him?"

"Ancestor, that boy is Jun Ningxia's twelfth son, and his title is Xiang King."

"The Twelfth Son? King Xiang? Why is he with the Five Elements True Lord?"

Jun Cheng'an raised his hand to calculate, and after a long while, he shook his head.

"I cannot calculate anything related to the Five Elements True Lord."

Seeing that the two members of the royal family had been discussing for a long time without reaching a conclusion, Meng Yan finally spoke up.

"King Xiang was unable to invite the Five Elements True Lord, but his queen, Qingxi, is probably involved in this matter."

"The Princess Consort of Xiang? The chief disciple of the Qiyun Sect?"

As far as I know, my grandson studied at the Qiyun Sect for ten years, and it was during that time that his marriage to his princess was arranged.

Meng Yan nodded slightly, stroked his long beard, and explained the situation to the two royal immortals.

"I wonder if you two have heard this news: Mu Ling'er, the daughter of the Five Elements True Lord, has poor comprehension and has been unable to break through to the Celestial Martial Saint realm for a long time. The Five Elements True Lord once searched for a large number of rare and precious materials for her."

Emperor Qiwen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice.

"I have also heard of this, but what does this have to do with the Princess Consort of Xiang?"

Meng Yan shook his head slightly and recounted the information he had gathered.

"Twenty-four years ago, the Qiyun Sect hosted a grand reception for the Five Elements True Lord's most beloved daughter."

The following year, I met the Five Elements True Lord in Changjiang. At that time, Mu Ling'er had already become a celestial being.

If I'm not mistaken, it was around that time that the Princess Consort of Xiang established her relationship with Mu Ling'er.

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Qiwen and Jun Cheng'an frowned at the same time. Jun Cheng'an raised his hand and waved it, and a 3D projection of Qi'an City appeared in front of them.

"Several old monsters have gathered in the capital, all for the life of my good son. We are using them as bait, and my good son has no chance of surviving."

If the King of Xiang's actions were his own will, it would be fine; it's just a struggle for the throne, and giving him the throne wouldn't be a problem.

I fear that my good son has discovered our intentions and has asked the Five Elements True Lord to intervene and disrupt the situation.

If that's the case, things will get complicated.

Meng Yan nodded in agreement, then shook his head at the two of them.

"The Five Elements True Lord is unlikely to get too involved in the internal power struggles within the royal family, and Jun Ningxia doesn't have the ability to do so either. Rather than worrying about these things, I'm more concerned about something else."

"What is the Sage of Literature saying?" the two members of the royal family asked simultaneously.

"The fortune of the Great Qi may be useless to a powerful figure like the Five Elements True Lord, but it is definitely a treasure among treasures for an ordinary Celestial Martial Saint."

If the Five Elements True Lord has come here to seize the fortune, what do you two plan to do?

As for the other old fogies, I am not afraid of them, and you also have ways to deal with them.

But if it's the Five Elements True Lord, that's a real monster. With your schemes, you're no match for him!

"I would never allow the literary lineage to provoke such a monster for your sake."
