"Saint Heir, the city walls are already adorned with the heads of ten Demon Emperors."

Guan Wen, who had just entered the tent dusty from travel, said to Lu Jin'an: "But this group of demons are from ordinary backgrounds, and the demons call it training for low-grade demon beasts." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Lu Jin'an, flipping through the training reports of the Wandao Sect's new disciples over the past few days, nodded: "Where are Wuya and the others?"

"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother are preparing to break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm here." Guan Wen replied: "Senior Mu and Saintess Zhu have not returned within the border, but there's intelligence that they have already slain seven Demon Emperors in the Second Realm Tribulation over the past few days."

"Especially Saintess Zhu, who has already broken through to the Harmonization Late Stage."

Guan Wen's voice was full of admiration. Saintess Zhu, who was clearly on the Forget Love Path and not the Killing Path, breaking through amidst slaughter, was indeed a curious event.

It is well known that the Forget Love Path relies on insight, not slaughter.

"They are certainly quite enjoy killing." Lu Jin'an chuckled, a hint of wonder flashing in his eyes, genuinely curious about what his little wife was thinking about while slaying demons.

"How about Senior Sister?"

"Senior Mu's breakthrough is a bit slow," Guan Wen replied, "it seems she's intentionally holding back."

After all, Senior Mu's progress used to be incredibly fast, but ever since Tongsheng, it's been slowing down, definitely due to holding back.

Otherwise, with Senior Mu's talent, she should be crossing tribulations faster than the Saint Heir.

Hearing Guan Wen's words, Lu Jin'an didn't say much more. Now that he knew his Master's demon identity, he had reason to suspect that Senior Sister might actually be a half-demon.

That would explain why her progress slowed after Tongsheng.

It's extremely difficult for a half-demon to reach the pinnacle.

Throughout history, no half-demon has surpassed Emperor Kong's realm.

Thinking about it, he looked up at Guan Wen again: "How long until your Tribulation Crossing?"

"Aiming for the end of the year," Guan Wen said, "I won't fall behind."

"Don't rush too much," Lu Jin'an reminded her and then shifted the topic: "I also wonder when the demons will make the Upper Realm Ancient Court send experts down."

"It's only a matter of time." In a moon-white dress, spotless, Zhu Nanzhi walked into the tent: "If they don't act soon, husband will become an Immortal."

Lu Jin'an looked at the consecutive arrivals of Zhu Nanzhi and Senior Sister: "All done?"

"Yes." Zhu Nanzhi nodded gently, pretending to be nonchalant: "I cut down another Demon Emperor in the Four Realms Tribulation on my way back."

"As expected of Saintess Zhu," Guan Wen praised.

"Impressive." Lu Jin'an clapped, and Zhu Nanzhi hummed happily.

Lu Jin'an then looked at Senior Sister, who went straight to the corner upon entering, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Does Senior Sister want to be invisible?

Mu Qingyue indeed thought so... wanting to feel what it's like to be ignored by Junior Brother.

"How about Senior Sister?" Lu Jin'an asked aloud.

"Me? I can't," Mu Qingyue waved her hand, suddenly anticipating Junior Brother to say some disparaging words towards Zhu Nanzhi.

It would be... delightful, right?

She couldn't help but 'look' towards Lu Jin'an, hoping he'd say something.

However, Lu Jin'an really wouldn't say that, not to mention Guan Wen was present, if he did, Senior Sister would definitely retaliate later.

The "Seeking Joy Soul Refining Skill" is great in all aspects except for its strange 'control' mechanism.

If 'bitten' by 'Senior Sister', one must 'bite' back.

Figure out a way to eliminate this effect, and Senior Sister would be completely unable to resist.

"Since we're back, let's pack up and return."

Lu Jin'an stood up and said.

"Does husband not need to look after the new disciples?" Zhu Nanzhi asked while brewing tea.

"Wuya and the others will handle it."

Lu Jin'an took a deep breath: "Mainly because I have another task now."

"Is it important?"

"Yes." Lu Jin'an nodded: "It's about the distribution of interests in the Chang'an Domain and the surrounding Cangxuan Domain and other areas."

Zhu Nanzhi understood immediately: "Because of the Buddhist Sect moving in?"

"Yes."

Lu Jin'an took a deep breath: "The Buddhist Sect is an outsider, which is different from a local force rising on its own; this matter needs to be managed well."

The Chang'an Domain not only has the Wandao Sect, but also other forces stationed in this Great Domain, and although all respect the Wandao Sect, the Wandao Sect will not interfere in the internal affairs of these forces, nor will it intervene in their open and covert struggles.

After all, competition among cultivators is the norm; back when Sect Master Zheng rose to power, he killed quite a few from the Wandao Sect, let alone other forces.

"Do we need to manage such things?" Zhu Nanzhi blinked: "If they can't even suppress external forces, it just shows they're incompetent; who can they blame?"

"Especially with the ongoing cleansing of possessors from the Upper Realm, to prevent troublemakers from causing issues."

Lu Jin'an chuckled: "And if they can persuade the Wandao Sect, isn't that also a skill?"

Zhu Nanzhi squinted her eyes: "Sect Master Zheng letting husband handle this means, as long as they can convince husband... will someone offer beauties to husband?"

"I don't think they would be so blind," Guan Wen chuckled: "If anyone dares to offer beauties to the Saint Heir, regardless of its efficacy, they will first offend Taichu Hall and Qingmiao Palace."

"True." Zhu Nanzhi smiled: "Forces rooted in the Great Domain shouldn't have fools in their ranks."

Lu Jin'an chuckled, thinking the same.

······

Southeast of the Chang'an Domain, west of Luoxia River, Wu Family in Tianjian City.

As one of the few Second Grade families in the Chang'an Domain, the Wu Family, with its Wu Family Sword Tomb as its foundation, has achieved a force that has produced Sword Immortals, ruling over hundreds of thousands of miles of territory.

However, the Wu Family Mansion is currently in a state of gloom.

A glance reveals that all prominent figures of the Wu Family are sitting on either side within the house, and even those who have joined other sects, went out for training, and are closed in the Sword Tomb are present.
