Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Forget-Worry Valley is a valley located behind Nandou Street. The "Tomb of the Loving Father Bai Shimen" that Bai Shui'er erected for Bei Luo Shimen is located in this valley.

After learning that Beiluo Shimen was not dead, Bai Shui'er never came to pay her respects at the grave again, but she also forgot to remove the tombstone...

As the Greedy Camp expanded and its members increased, the Sky Wolf Stronghold could no longer accommodate so many Spirit Masters, so Li Moxuan developed this place.

He had elegant and classical houses built here as residences for most of the members of the Greedy Camp.

Of course, most members of the Greedy Camp would only stay here temporarily when they were recalled by Li Moxuan.

More often than not, they reside and carry out missions in the Soul Town area of ​​their assigned region.

Because the mornings in Forget-Worry Valley are often shrouded in mist and filled with natural atmosphere, Li Moxuan named the place "Yunxi Xiaozhu".

"Hey, Beiluo!"

Cao Yanbing walked down the street, looking at the vendors hawking their wares and the patrolling soldiers around him, and asked with some curiosity, "I heard that this Forget-Worry Valley belongs entirely to Li Moxuan, is that true?"

"You're overthinking it. This entire Nandou Street belongs to him..."

Cao Yanbing: "..."

"What a rich bastard!"

Cao Yanbing was extremely envious. After thinking for a while, he said, "Xia Ling, what do you think about building as many houses and shops as this once I've made enough money?"

"Then I won't need to go out to deliver food; I can just collect rent!"

"Hey, I think it's a good idea!"

Xia Ling thought Cao Yanbing's idea was good, "I happen to be an architecture major, I can help you with the design..."

"You two are truly a perfect match..."

Guo Xiaoyao's sarcastic remark interrupted their whimsical thoughts: "Whose rent are you planning to collect? The dead or evil spirits?"

"The reason why so many spirit mediums can gather in Nandou Street is because it is the headquarters of the Greedy Camp, which can be said to be the power center of the entire underworld!"

"Rakshasa Street is only inhabited by evil spirits and the dead. Ordinary spirit mediums don't go there. If a strange spirit medium comes to your area, you should be careful..."

Just like that, Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling's fantasy of lying down and doing nothing was shattered by Guo Xiaoyao's words...

"Master Cao..."

A voice caught Cao Yanbing's attention. He turned his head and followed the sound to see Liu Yuchan sitting in the teahouse.

"Liu Yuchan?"

Liu Yuchan smiled gently, "Would Master Cao like to come in and sit down?"

"Of course..."

Cao Yanbing turned around, "Bei Luo, Guo Xiaoyao, do you want to come along?"

Guo Xiaoyao waved his hand in refusal, "Never mind, I have to get up early tomorrow to go back to Tianpan Street!"

"I'm not going either, it's about to rain..."

Bei Luo Shimen, Guo Xiaoyao, and Cao Yanbing bid farewell and entered the teahouse. At this time, in addition to Liu Yuchan, there were many spirit mediums gathered in the teahouse.

"Cao Yanbing, leading the Tiger Warriors, charged straight into the main hall, thinking victory was assured. But in the blink of an eye, an iron halberd suddenly flew in from outside the hall..."

On the platform in front of the teahouse, a storyteller with white hair and beard was excitedly recounting the story of Cao Yanbing's invasion of Yulin Street.

"Is this our story on Yulin Street?"

Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling sat down in the corner where Liu Yuchan was. "Why does it feel a little different?"

"This is the story of The Legend of the Soul Guardian, adapted by Lu Shuyu, so it's naturally different!"

"The storyteller here will tell part of the story before the comic is updated, which can be considered a preview..."

After hearing Liu Yuchan's explanation, Cao Yanbing nodded. "By the way, weren't you with Xiang Kunlun in the Eastern Expeditionary Army? Why did you suddenly come back?"

"I came back with my older brother, but he disappeared while I was in the bathroom..."

Liu Yuchan gently stroked the Snow-Treading White Wolf in his hand, "I heard someone say they saw him leave with Li Moxuan, so I came here to wait for him..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to sense something and hurriedly got up and ran out of the teahouse. Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling exchanged a glance and chased after him.

At the entrance to Worry-Free Valley, Li Moxuan placed one of Xiang Kunlun's hands on his shoulder to help him move forward, and the spatial passage behind him slowly closed.

"Big brother..."

Liu Yuchan, who rushed over, noticed the drunken Xiang Kunlun and hurriedly took him from Li Moxuan. He frowned after smelling the alcohol on Xiang Kunlun.

"How could he have drunk so much?"

"Who knows, he even dragged me over to drink with him..."

After handing Xiang Kunlun over to Liu Yuchan, Li Moxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up and saw Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling, glancing at the teahouse not far away.

"Why are you two out here listening to a storyteller instead of going to sleep at night?"

"It was just a coincidence that I ran into Liu Yuchan here..."

Cao Yanbing stepped forward and glanced at Xiang Kunlun. "What's wrong with this guy?"

"Isn't it obvious? He's drunk..."

Li Moxuan withdrew his gaze from him. "What, are you still holding a grudge about the time he stabbed you in Yulin Street?"

"I'm not that petty..."

Just as Cao Yanbing finished speaking, a cold wind swept through the sky, and raindrops the size of beans began to fall...

"Alright, I'm leaving Xiang Kunlun to you all. I'll go back and rest now..."

Li Moxuan turned around and opened the spatial passage leading to the Zichen Palace.

He was just about to step into the spatial passage to leave when he suddenly remembered something, turned back to Xia Ling and asked, "Xia Ling, are you interested in being a teacher?"

teacher?

Xia Ling hesitated for a moment before asking, "What teacher?"

"Don't worry, he's a proper teacher, instructing beginners on how to become qualified spirit users, just like Cao Yanbing taught you back then..."

Li Moxuan turned and stepped into the spatial passage. "You and Cao Yanbing discuss it. If you've made up your mind, come find me. That's all..."

Chapter 293: The Advance of Lüxian Palace

Zichen Palace.

As soon as Li Moxuan arrived at the entrance through the spatial passage, a torrential downpour began...

He pushed open the door and was immediately taken aback. The living room lights were on, so someone had obviously been there. Uh... could it be Muli?

Li Moxuan entered the house. Since he was on his own turf, he did not wear his spirit robes, but instead wore a white T-shirt and an ice-blue jacket.

After changing into slippers, he went upstairs, took a shower in the bathroom, changed into his pajamas, and returned to the first floor, where he opened the bedroom door.

To Li Moxuan's surprise, the person who came was not Muli, but Lü Xiangong, who should have been with the Northern Expeditionary Army at the moment.

She was still dressed in her usual attire, wearing a long trench coat with mink fur trim on the collar and cuffs, and a strapless bodycon dress underneath, which accentuated her perfect figure.

A pair of long, snow-white legs were paired with a pair of black over-the-knee boots, making her legs look long and slender.

At this moment, Lü Xiangong was sitting on the sofa in his bedroom, watching the anime adaptation of "The Legend of the Soul" on TV...

Although she seemed to be focused on the television, Li Moxuan clearly noticed the hint of tension in her eyes.

Why are you here?

Li Moxuan sat down next to her and used his spiritual power to dry her wet hair. "Is there something urgent? Why are you looking for me so late..."

It's obvious that Lu Xiangong was brought here by Xihe, but coming to his bedroom late at night doesn't seem like he wants to talk about anything serious.

Lu Xiangong swallowed hard, but instead of getting straight to the point, he decided to proceed step by step...

"I heard that the Great Emperor is dead?"

"Um……"

Lu Xiangong glanced at Li Moxuan, "So, are you about to realize your dream and become the new Lord of the Underworld?"

"I never said that was my dream..."

Li Moxuan leaned back on the sofa, "If the Wuxiang Sect hadn't been destroyed, if the Spirit Realm hadn't deceived and exploited the Soul Suppressing Generals, if Huangfu Longdou and Xiang Kunlun hadn't stirred up this chaos..."

"I may still be just a minor Soul Guardian in a small Soul Town, and I've only come to this point because of the circumstances!"

"Moreover, in chaotic times, if you can't become the strongest, the safety of yourself and those around you can never be guaranteed!"

He paused, then continued, "Besides, everyone's risking their lives for me, I can't let them down..."

Lu Xiangong pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Then when do you plan to declare the unification of the world and officially become the new Lord of the Underworld?"

"It should be after the New Year! There are many things to be careful about when a dynasty changes, and this is the best time that Xi Chen and the others suggested..."

Li Moxuan looked Lü Xiangong up and down. "You came here so late at night, you must have more than just this to ask me, right?"

Lu Xiangong blushed a little under his gaze. After hesitating for a moment, she stood up and slowly took off her trench coat, leaving her only in a strapless bodycon dress...

Just as I expected...

Even if Lü Xiangong didn't say anything, Li Moxuan could tell what she was thinking from her shy and timid appearance...

Lu Xiangong's face turned as red as a ripe apple. He stretched out his body, closed his eyes tightly, and said, "Come on!"

"Hey, what's the big deal?!"

Li Moxuan tapped her on the head, then turned around. "Let's call it a day. Go back and get some rest!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Xiangong's face darkened. Even after all that, she was still rejected? Fortunately, Li Moxuan's next words brought her a slight sense of relief…

"There's still almost half a year until the Lunar New Year, so there's no need to rush. Let's take our time to build our relationship, and then we'll talk about it when you've really thought it through!"

Li Moxuan pressed the remote control to turn off the TV and turned to walk towards his bed.

He had only taken a few steps when a soft body pressed against his back, and he froze instantly. "Lu Xiangong, what are you doing...?"

Lu Xiangong took a deep breath, recalling what he had learned from Yang Qianhong, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Actually, I had this feeling half a year ago!"

"But back then, I had hibiscus pollen given to me by Shui'er and the others. Through the hibiscus pollen, I lived in a fantasy world to suppress my emotions..."

"So, I've actually already decided that there's no need to wait another six months; let's just get the important stuff done..."
