It turns out, they were the main characters.

Lan Mulian frowned slightly as she watched this scene, but she could only maintain a respectful attitude in front of her clansmen.

Although the Azure Emperor currently appears ethereal and otherworldly, she knows all too well just how wicked this fairy's true nature is.

Mu Zhian was clearly still in a daze; the calm smile on his face had vanished, and he blinked, staring blankly at Yao Meng.

How can it be!

Didn't she go to the Southern Wilderness?!

At this moment, Mu Zhian thought of many, many things.

The moment he saw Yao Meng, his first thought was of everything that had happened between him and Shi Zixuan in the demon realm.

Fortunately, Mu Zhian is a seasoned fishpond owner, and he managed to maintain his usual composure.

But he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

As if sensing the boy's gaze, Yao Meng glanced at him slightly, a hint of playfulness flickering in her clear, beautiful eyes that had previously shown compassion for the world. She said softly, "There's no need to be so surprised. To ensure your safety, a wisp of my spiritual consciousness is sleeping within the Azure Lotus Ring I gave you."

"As long as you infuse a wisp of spiritual energy into the danger you encounter, that dormant spiritual consciousness will awaken."

Mu Zhian hesitated, "But I remember I didn't infuse any spiritual energy into the Azure Lotus Ring—"

“The spiritual energy of others can also awaken me,” Yao Meng casually reminded her.

Mu Zhian paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something. He gently wiped the green lotus ring with his fingertip, and his thumb immediately became stained with a little bit of rouge.

Incredibly alluring.

Looking at the crowd with their heads down, Yao Meng raised the corners of her mouth slightly, gracefully landed in front of Mu Zhi'an, leaned close to Mu Zhi'an's ear, and whispered a soft, sweet voice in his ear.

"How does it taste to be the Queen of the Demon Realm?"

……

Chapter 429 You really do have a good junior brother 5K

Mu Zhian felt a chill run down his spine. After a moment of silence, his heart started racing!

He underestimated Yao Meng.

That blue lotus ring was not only used to protect him, but also to protect his body... in every sense of the word.

So, does this mean that Zixuan already knew about this and deliberately provoked Yaomeng?

At the time, Mu Zhian was wondering why someone would kiss the Azure Lotus Ring out of sheer boredom. At first, he thought the Demon Queen wanted to experience the pleasure of being cuckolded, but now it seems that being cuckolded is one thing, but more importantly... she was intentionally provoking Yao Meng.

Because the Demon Queen probably already noticed something amiss with the Azure Lotus Ring.

So you Dao Integration Realm cultivators have no other hobbies besides being arrogant, right?! Mu Zhian felt as if a storm had passed through his heart, and he was mentally ranting.

A brief silence fell over the palace.

After a while, some of the younger members of the Lan family in the main hall mustered up their courage and couldn't help but glance up. Many of them watched this scene with deep envy in their eyes and rapid breathing.

The tall and graceful fairy's figure was faintly visible amidst the swirling mist. Her fair and delicate jade feet, beneath her emerald gauze skirt, floated in mid-air. One hand rested on the young man's shoulder, her red lips close to his ear, and her eyes, which seemed to be both smiling and not smiling, were scrutinizing him.

Why does he look so unhappy? They are all worried about Mu Zhi'an.

If it were them, faced with the only Ascension Realm expert in the Nine Provinces so actively getting close to their delicate body, they would definitely disregard everything, embrace her waist, and savor the softness of this fairy's body.

Even the elders couldn't help but sigh inwardly, unable to understand why Mu Zhian looked so lifeless at this moment.

Of those present, only three maintained their usual demeanor.

Besides the two exceptional sisters from the Lan family, there was also the beautiful woman in the yellow dress standing quietly beside Mu Zhi'an.

The only person who knew Mu Zhi'an's current state was the maid.

Mu Zhian had stayed in the Demon Palace for some time before, and his cultivation level had increased significantly... As for the reason, she had a rough idea of ​​it.

It's highly likely that Yao Meng's spiritual consciousness awakened the day she left the Southern Wilderness, which means that Yao Meng had been watching the young master's actions all along...

"She seems to treat you really well."

Inside the palace, Yao Meng smiled faintly and whispered something that left everyone bewildered.

She was referring, of course, to the Queen of the Demon Realm.

Mu Zhian's rapid attainment of the peak of the Divine Refinement Realm is naturally thanks to the Demon Queen.

Then, her gaze inadvertently swept over the crowd behind her: "The Lan family's affairs are indeed your family affairs, and his charm technique did not originate from the Eastern Continent."

"However, there is no distinction between sorcery and magic in this world; the character of the user is of utmost importance."

"What Senior Qingdi said is absolutely right, and we will certainly keep it in mind."

All the elders of the Lan family raised their hands in a respectful bow and answered.

He sighed inwardly. The Azure Emperor truly doted on his Daoist partner. Even when his true body was not in the Eastern Continent, he still specially separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness to protect him at all times.

In their view, sorcery may not be divided into good and evil, but the bewitching techniques used by Mu Zhian are sorcery that brings disaster to the country and its people.

Many people in the Eastern Continent still remember the destruction of a dynasty by the "Art of Enchantment".

He's only at the Refining Spirit Realm and he's already able to bewitch cultivators of the same level. If he were to eventually refine his spirit and return to the Void Realm, wouldn't he be able to throw the entire Eastern Continent into chaos?

If this Fairy Yao Meng hadn't been a Human Emperor in the Feathered Realm, they would probably have suspected that Mu Zhi'an had used some kind of bewitching technique, which was why the Azure Emperor liked him so much.

At this moment, the Azure Emperor suddenly revealed a bright smile, looked around at the two sisters of the Lan family, and continued, "His guest token was given to him by me. If it weren't for him when I ascended to immortality, I would probably have perished long ago. I thought that with this token, I would at least not be bullied in the Eastern Continent."

"But now that I've come to the Lan family as a guest of Yaochi, I never expected to be secretly made things difficult for them."

"If one did not know, one might think that Yaochi had declined to the point where other ancient families could trample on it at will."

Although her voice remained gentle and melodious, it sounded like a tsunami to the elders of the Lan family.

The Second Elder of the Lan family, standing nearby, was already sweating profusely. He raised his hand in a gesture of respect and said, "Senior Qingdi is too kind. We did not mean to cause any trouble just now. It was just that the younger members of our clan were a bit ignorant. She has already apologized..."

They did use the younger generation of the Lan family to suppress Mu Zhian's arrogance, but wasn't that because the other party intended to interfere in the Lan family's affairs?

Moreover, this was not their idea; Lan Wan'er simply brought it up, and they went along with it.

But they can't say these words out loud right now.

What's the point of explaining this to the Azure Emperor? Look at how gentle this woman was just now. Even if you try to reason with her, do you really think she'll listen?

It goes without saying who the Azure Emperor will ultimately side with.

As for the Azure Emperor's claim that his ascension to immortality was due to Mu Zhi'an... they naturally didn't believe it, taking it as just an excuse the Azure Emperor made up to support Mu Zhi'an.

They might be able to believe to some extent that the Azure Emperor was initially saved by Mu Zhi'an.

However, few people would believe that the Azure Emperor was able to ascend to immortality because of Mu Zhi'an.

At that time, in the Battle of the Dao that broke out in the Yaochi Ancestral Land, how could Mu Zhian, a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm, possibly help the Azure Emperor?

Among the several high-ranking members of the Lan family present, only the two 'living fossils' who had previously emerged from seclusion had a meaningful look in their cloudy eyes.

Previously, when they were in seclusion, they sensed a vast spiritual energy that did not belong to the Nine Provinces. At that time, the two Southern Wilderness Evil Gods died in that spiritual energy.

If what the Azure Emperor said is true, if Mu Zhi'an really helped her ascend to immortality, then wouldn't that mean... those two evil gods died at Mu Zhi'an's hands?

At that moment, a cheerful voice rang out in the hall.

"Do you really think I can't detect whether someone is lying? I also know a little about the Qi Observation Technique of the Two Elements Sect."

"Whether you lied or not... you know perfectly well in your hearts."

As always, it is gentle and soothing, giving people a casual feeling like a friendly older sister next door, making people feel warm and welcoming.

However, these words felt like a boulder pressing down on the elders, causing their hearts to sink.

Mu Zhian glanced at Yao Meng, opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

No matter what, Yao Meng is backed by the Yaochi Holy Land. Now that she has ascended to immortality, she is worshipped by all the races of the Eastern Continent. However, if she were to put pressure on a major family in the Eastern Continent for no reason, it would inevitably affect her reputation and make everyone in the Eastern Continent feel insecure.

However, when he looked up, he saw Yao Meng with a calm and composed expression, elegantly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, and saying lightly, "I know what you want to say."

"However, you underestimate your place in my heart."

Yao Meng's clear, beautiful eyes, seemingly filled with pity for the world, casually swept over the crowd present. She said softly, "I don't like to fight with others, not for fame, but simply because the Way of Yaochi is inherently like this. But if I have to stand idly by even when my man is being bullied by others, then what use is this Daoist essence to me?"

"If you are sad, I will be sad too."

Her voice, light and casual, came from her red lips. Although no breath escaped her lips, the words carried a dangerous undertone to everyone present.

The pressure of the Ascension Realm silently enveloped the entire palace.

Mu Zhian also sensed the oppressive aura, but at that moment a pair of slightly cool hands gently cupped his face.

Like a thin veil brushing against the cheek, it is alluring and makes one feel a restless, itchy sensation.

She gazed into Mu Zhian's eyes, her beautiful emerald green eyes filled with a teasing smile, and said, "So don't wrong yourself, this is for you, and for me too."

thump.

Finally, one of the tribesmen, unable to control the overwhelming pressure emanating from him, knelt down first.

Then, people knelt down one after another. The spiritual energy of the Feather Transformation Realm was above the rules of heaven and earth. Even a wisp of spiritual consciousness had a sense of pressure that enveloped the entire ancient city.

Above this palace, a faint blue lotus seemed to be quietly blooming. The aura emanating from the Azure Emperor was even noticed by the cultivators far away in the city. Their expressions were somewhat surprised, followed by immense excitement and exhilaration.

The ancestral worship ceremony of the Lan family was attended by the Azure Emperor himself?

I had long heard of the Azure Emperor's ascension to immortality but had never witnessed it in person. Now, however, I saw her manifest Dharma form above the Lan family's palace. I finally experienced the immense and terrifying spiritual pressure she exuded.

At this moment, cultivators inside and outside the city stopped and bowed respectfully towards the city.

The ascension of the Azure Emperor will undoubtedly propel the Yaochi Sacred Land to new heights, but it will also ensure the eternal protection of the Eastern Continent. This is a joyous occasion worthy of celebration by all races of the Eastern Continent.

However, the cultivators outside were unaware that the atmosphere inside the Lan family's palace was incredibly heavy.

Lan Pingzhi was only halfway to enlightenment, so he forced himself to raise his head and bow, saying, "The marriage between the Azure Emperor and young friend Mu is known throughout the Nine Provinces. It is only natural that you would choose to help him. However, we have not made things difficult for him today, and the matter of my two daughters is indeed a family matter of my Lan family. I hope the Azure Emperor can understand."

Upon seeing this, the eldest elder of the Lan family also raised his hand in a bow and said in a deep voice, "When young friend Mu went to the Lan family, we had already sent people to make arrangements for him. However, it seems that it was because young friend Mu knew these two girls of the Lan family that he was so concerned that he mentioned the matter of their birth mother, which caused an unnecessary misunderstanding."

"But young friend, you have already used bewitching magic to retaliate... Why don't we just let this matter rest?"

"witchcraft?"

Yao Meng chuckled softly: "Even now, do you still believe it was sorcery?"
