Chapter 1176: Chapter 493: Help Me Establish the Ninth Dao Palace Together_2

Zhu Tianqi, having been fooled by Lu Jin’an once, quickly deduced the subsequent events: "So the non-aggression pact has become a mere fart. From now on, deploy more forces to the Central Domain openly and justly!"

The non-aggression in the pact meant not initiating a battle, but since Zhiyu has now become Lu Jin’an’s disciple, the reason for starting the war conveniently bypasses the agreement... Damn, too cunning!

"Understood!"

Fu Qiong hurriedly retreated to make arrangements, while Zhu Tianqi glanced at the space node hidden between the mountain walls and couldn’t help but sneer.

Now that they could openly and grandly deploy more forces to the Central Domain, Lu Jin’an would be more daring to come here through the space node.

By then... how would he have a way out!

This time, let’s see who is smarter!

Zhu Tianqi turned and came to the Dragon Hall. Although there were some issues at Yunkong Mountain, fortunately, everything was proceeding smoothly.

The body of the Candle Dragon was here, the Dragon Soul of the Candle Dragon was also here, and a new body prepared for the Candle Dragon was here as well.

Zhu Tianqi had to make this preparation because the Candle Dragon, polluted by dark matter, was not easy to control. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

And this new body... was a dragon corpse sent back from Outer Heaven.

Looking across Yunding, only the dragons from Outer Heaven could barely accommodate the power of the Candle Dragon.

Zhu Tianqi raised his hand and placed it on the chest of the new body, his gaze somewhat contemplative: "Lu Jin’an’s Dao... Weaving Heaven and Earth, huh?"

"Since that’s the case, let’s ensure he has no heaven or earth to weave!"

······

Wandao Sect, Lingxiao Hall.

Zhiyu’s apprenticeship ceremony was not disturbed by Zhu Tianqi’s actions; the clear voice still spread throughout the Lingxiao Hall.

Lu Jin’an sat back on the sect master’s throne, his expression calm.

However, many people now looked at him with a bit more awe.

Even just Zhu Tianqi’s avatar—some present Divine Concealment experts had confidence they could kill it, but to do so at the Late Divine Presence level... that’s a rarity.

Especially since Lu Jin’an wasn’t injured.

Moreover, with Late Divine Presence level strength... Lu Jin’an was not only strong, but his breakthrough speed was very fast. It probably wouldn’t be long before he advanced to Divine Concealment.

Many exchanged glances secretly, feeling that staying calm earlier was the right choice; now was not the time to make an issue of Lu Jin’an’s identity. Otherwise, they’d die faster than the Demon Clan.

With Lu Jin’an’s strength, challenging many at once, losing a few Divine Concealment members really wasn’t a big deal for the Human Clan.

"Mr. Jiang." Si Xiuqi softly spoke to Jiang Wuya beside him: "If you don’t become an Immortal soon, you won’t be able to protect Lord Lu... outside the Sect Master’s side."

"You mean..."

Si Xiuqi lowered his eyelids slightly: "After the exposure of Sect Master Lu’s identity as the Lu Family’s Young Master, the hope in many people’s hearts here is only one...

That is, they hope he dies on the battlefield amidst the struggle against the Demon Clan."

After a pause, Si Xiuqi continued: "Given Sect Master Lu’s strength, he could eliminate much of the demon clan’s living strength. If he died in battle for the Human Clan at that time, others wouldn’t begrudge labeling him a hero. After all, such titles mean nothing to the living."

Jiang Wuya frowned slightly: "You mean, even if the sect master kills Zhu Tianqi, he still needs to guard against some people’s backstabbing?"

Si Xiuqi nodded slightly: "The atmosphere in the Wandao Sect is good, without much intrigue, but Mr. Jiang shouldn’t underestimate the allure of ’benefit.’ So, Mr. Jiang, you must not be careless..."

Jiang Wuya nodded: "Understood."

Si Xiuqi said no more; he trusted Jiang Wuya’s character, which was why he dared to speak to him.

Had it been anyone else, Si Xiuqi would not have said these words.

Given that if anything happened to Lu Jin’an, the successor would most likely be the Second Junior Brother.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Si Xiuqi glanced towards Lu Jin’an and Zhiyu, who were completing the apprenticeship ceremony inside the hall, his gaze somewhat fleeting.

Although there were many people protecting Lu Jin’an, if some people really did make a move after the war, they would definitely consider this point.

Especially the Upper Realm, which likely preserved more power than the Lower Realm.

Thinking of this, Si Xiuqi turned to his Junior Sister Ye Wanqiu behind him and said: "Push me to the Master."

Ye Wanqiu quickly pushed the wheelchair forward.

Shangguan Qizheng looked at his beloved disciple: "I know what you want to say, but now is not the right time to discuss this matter.

Once someone has worries, they can’t fully dedicate themselves to their duties."

Si Xiuqi was taken aback for a moment, then bowed: "Disciple has been taught."

Shangguan Qizheng nodded, straightening his beard with a chuckle: "That kid is not that easy to kill."

Si Xiuqi looked at Lu Jin’an and smiled: "You always have to keep a card up your sleeve... After all, even if some people know clearly that the future of Sect Master Lu is not limited to Yunding, they fear that ’what if.’

The Lu Family’s reputation is already poor, and prejudice in people’s hearts is a great mountain indeed."

"You hope he can heal your legs."

"Yes, his Dao might help me."

Si Xiuqi looked down at his legs. The reason he couldn’t cure them was entirely due to overreaching his abilities in divination years ago, resulting in backlash from the Heavenly Dao, rendering all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures ineffective.

But Lu Jin’an’s Dao relates to heaven and earth, so he fervently wishes his legs could heal.

Otherwise, he won’t be able to pursue a broader Great Dao.

······

After completing the apprenticeship ceremony, Lu Jin’an held Zhiyu’s small hand and came before Jun Bingquan, who was trapped by a spatial barrier.

"You’re in luck; your Demon Lord took a disaster for you."

Lu Jin’an looked at the bleeding seven orifices of Jun Bingquan, waved his hand, and the space barrier disappeared into thin air: "You can take Zhiyu away now."

With that, Zhiyu tightened his grip on his large hand: "Master..."

"Don’t worry, no one dares to bully you."

Lu Jin’an reassured warmly, knowing for sure that Cang Qinglong Saint would be the first to accept Zhiyu as a Dragon Saint because the old dragon hadn’t yet negotiated with Zhu Tianqi.

Before negotiations were complete, Zhiyu wouldn’t be easily handed over.

Mo Yun Pavilion had already received news that Cang Qinglong Saint appeared on the border of the Central Region.

Jun Bingquan stood up silently: "Lu... Sect Master, farewell."

Lu Jin’an patted Zhiyu’s back: "Go ahead, Master will come find you soon."

"Master mustn’t lie, or Zhiyu will ignore you!"

"I definitely won’t."

"Hee hee~" Zhiyu leapt up and gave him a kiss on the lips: "See you later, Master~"

Jun Bingquan said nothing as he rose with the wind, and Zhiyu stood on an invisible wind current, waving vigorously to Lu Jin’an.

Lu Jin’an watched from afar as people around looked at him with somewhat peculiar expressions.

The scene of Zhiyu kissing Lu Jin’an... Is this truly a master-disciple relationship?

Especially Lu Jin’an’s fourth senior sister, Guan Wen, who was gossiping with a group of junior sisters, whispering about "Taichu Peak’s tradition" and such.

Lu Jin’an withdrew his gaze and chuckled softly, beginning to entertain the guests who had come to Wandao Sect for the sect master’s grand ceremony.

Today, Wandao Sect naturally held a grand banquet.

It was night.

Having drunk quite a bit, Lu Jin’an returned to Taichu Hall accompanied by Zhu Nanzhi and his Senior Sister, only to see Lu Yunzhu about to leave.

He grabbed Lu Yunzhu’s wrist: "Where are you going?"

Lu Yunzhu tilted her head to look at him, her voice softening: "What’s the matter?"

"Tonight, no one can leave."

Lu Jin’an licked his lips, his gaze sweeping over the Master and others, feeling parched: "It’s rare for us to gather; it would be a pity if we didn’t do something."

Beside him, Zhu Nanzhi was the first to feel her legs go weak since it had been so long since she last shared an intimate moment with her husband...

As for everyone together... Since her husband wanted it, it naturally had to be fulfilled.

Pei Wanyu was watching her good disciple with great interest and wanted to say something to Xiao Yinruo, but Xiao Yinruo, who had been beside her, was nowhere to be seen.

Heh~ she ran pretty fast at times like this, pretending... I originally wanted her to empathize with me.

Pei Wanyu chuckled lightly, and after watching Lu Jin’an for a while, Lu Yunzhu turned and left: "Just this once."

"This is the second time you’ve said ’just this once.’" Lu Jin’an said with a smile.

Lu Yunzhu snorted, then suddenly felt the night sky light up with dazzling starlight. She stopped, glanced up, and then sharply turned back toward Lu Jin’an.

Lu Jin’an smiled slightly: "By the way, help me open the ninth Dao Palace together."

In his Late Divine Presence stage, he decided to open the Hidden Element Right Assistant Dao Palace located in the 365th acupoint tonight.

Pei Wanyu teased those who hadn’t experienced it—

"It’s very hot, be prepared~"

First stop, Qingyi Palace.
