Main focus on one, lose completely if lost, no retreat.

The Murong Family is not that extreme.

They just followed Wangxian Valley’s advice, bringing members above the Foundation Establishment Realm from the Murong family and related clans.

Not counting their tributors and guards, there are totally only over two thousand people.

Including the first two, there are six thousand people this time, the vast majority of whom are from the Early-stage Foundation Establishment to the Sixth Rank of Heaven and Earth Bridge.

There’s no choice, cultivators in this range are actually the most numerous.

"Young Master, look!"

A female guard beside him called out in surprise.

Following the female guard’s finger, Murong Zhengyi looked towards the northwest direction.

Above the scorched earth and lakes left from the previous battle, dozens of cracks appeared in the sky, and then teams of mechanical bodies swiftly flew out on flying discs, forming one hundred formations each with over ten thousand mechanical bodies in a short time.

They were silent;

The spiritual energy of the heavens and earth washed over them without any reaction;

But this silence made the cultivators here feel tremendous pressure.

The sound of horns came from somewhere, and these mechanical bodies uniformly turned direction on the spot, with their backs facing the cultivators.

Murong Zhengyi squinted slightly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"No problem," he said, "they should be friends, not enemies."

"Zhengyi?"

A gentle call came from behind.

A beautiful woman in palace attire came out of the cabin, landing beside Murong Zhengyi.

She was the current family’s matriarch, also the mother of Murong Zhengyi.

"Mother, what’s the matter?"

"Your uncles are all worried," the beautiful woman frowned at the mechanical army, "The current situation is tricky and hard to understand, with three external forces interweaving here, we are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered and at anyone’s mercy, fearing that a moment of carelessness could destroy the Murong family’s foundation."

Murong Zhengyi blinked: "Mother, whatever you want to say to me, just say it."

The beautiful woman hinted a trace of barrier.

She was a Nascent Soul Taoist, quite powerful.

"Zhengyi, you mentioned that suddenly appearing senior previously, you suspect he’s Tianluo’s Loose Immortal?"

"It’s just my suspicion."

"Anyway," the beautiful woman’s eyes carried some expectation, "If we can get closer to such a senior, it’s always good for our Murong Family."

Murong Zhengyi felt slightly uncomfortable.

He naturally understood his mother’s meaning, just wanting him to ingratiate himself with that mysterious expert he encountered earlier.

But, is it so easy to ingratiate?

That expert might dislike him for ingratiating too much instead.

It’s better to keep some distance as before, providing convenience...

"Mother, I will try my best to do as you wish."

Murong Zhengyi agreed like this.

The beautiful woman understood her son’s thoughts with just a glance, she didn’t say much, and gazed at the mechanical cloud in the distance, holding the railing.

She whispered: "Within few days, one bizarre event after another, is Heaven and Earth really about to face a great catastrophe?"

Murong Zhengyi laughed and said, "Didn’t the sect leaders jointly issue a letter, saying those Dark Sect Members only target cultivators, not beings of this world. It may be a disaster for us, but for many mortals, it’s just more thunderclaps."

"Alas," the beautiful woman sighed, "Who would have thought, even cultivation matters could be forbidden."

A light laughter suddenly came from the side: "It’s not that cultivation is forbidden, but that the Heavenly Dao doesn’t wish for beings to cultivate."

Some immortal light encircled, and the barrier deployed by the beautiful woman was easily dissolved.

Murong Zhengyi was stunned, turned to look at the newcomer, and immediately beamed, hurrying forward to greet: "Master Uncle, why have you suddenly come!"

The newcomer wore a light blue Daoist robe, with a Daoist crown on his head, surrounded by faint immortal light, with a handsome face and dashing eyebrows, his aura ethereal and otherworldly, not ordinary;

Who else could it be but Wang Jixuan?

He came in person, without concealing anything, holding the Murong family’s Jade Pendant with a smile: "I came to return this item to you."

Murong Zhengyi received the Jade Pendant: "If Senior likes it, you can keep it as a memento."

"That’s not necessary, thanks to your help last time, I was able to meet an old acquaintance."

Wang Jixuan looked over here:

"And this fellow is?"

"Mother."

"Oh?" Wang Jixuan cupped his hands as a greeting, "So it’s the Murong Family’s Matriarch, my apologies."

This beautiful lady was also a quick-witted person, and by now had already realized who she was facing. She hurriedly said, "I have seen you, Senior. Please feel free to converse with Zhengyi. I shall take my leave first. If you need anything, just give the order. The entire Murong family is at your service."

"I don’t dare," Wang Jixuan waved his hand, "I simply feel a connection with Zhengyi. Go ahead, I need to discuss a few minor issues with him."

"Yes."

The beautiful lady bowed slightly and turned to float away.

Murong Zhengyi asked quietly, "Senior, what brings you here again?"

"Why, must there be official business for me to seek you? Can’t I take you out on amorous adventures?"

Wang Jixuan threw two cushions behind the railing and leisurely sat down, taking out a pot of wine and two wine cups.

Murong Zhengyi sent his two female guards to get some dishes to accompany the wine and sat cross-legged by Wang Jixuan’s side.

"Amorous adventures are lovely. It’s what noble family’s sons like me excel at."

"Excel at? You with a Pure Yang Body."

"Hmm?" Murong Zhengyi glared at Wang Jixuan, "Senior, how did you know?"

"Just one look and I can see the purity of the Yang Qi in your body, what’s difficult about that?"

Murong Zhengyi’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Wang Jixuan laughed and asked, "What’s wrong? Did you deliberately dab a few drops of sweat on your forehead while visiting the brothel with other family scions?"

"That, that didn’t happen," Murong Zhengyi sighed towards the sky, "It did happen a few times when I was deliberately chatting with a few Kun Dao for an extra hour."

"Do you happen to have the love for the dragon sun?"

"That’s not it," Murong Zhengyi smiled awkwardly, "When my mother was pregnant with me, she was injured while fighting, causing my innate primordial energy deficiency. I must maintain my Primordial Yang and nurture it slowly to avoid slow cultivation. Just the troubles of a family heir."

Master Wang nodded, then took out two Elixirs and handed them to Murong Zhengyi.

"Loose Immortal level elixirs from Tianluo, for you, just suitable."

"This?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Don’t want them?"

Murong Zhengyi snatched them up: "This is embarrassing! But, why do you have a suitable elixir?"

"I have a friend... what are those eyes? I really have a friend named Zheng Shiduo, who’s interested in men. I’ve always wanted to help him return to the Righteous Path."

"Then I believe you."

Murong Zhengyi picked up an elixir and consumed it, closing his eyes to concentrate and sense it carefully.

Before long, he was overjoyed and his whole being became unusually excited.

"Senior! My Primordial Energy is rapidly restoring!"

"Mm, you have an hour, go find a Daoist couple, otherwise, I won’t be responsible for any consequences."

At once, Murong Zhengyi wanted to stand up.

Yet Wang Jixuan pressed him back onto the cushion with a casual hand.

"You accepted the benefit I gave, there’s a responsibility you’ll need to shoulder later."

"Please speak, Senior. I would go through fire and high water, Zhengyi will not refuse!"

"I plan to make you a leader," Wang Jixuan thought for a moment, "be a hero, a model, are you willing?"

"Mm?" Murong Zhengyi was a bit puzzled, "Senior, you wish to nurture me? I dare not refuse but I am curious, why would you choose me?"

"First, you are a smart fellow, not a fool.

"Second, because you keep yourself clean, have a good nature, and haven’t done anything deceitful or self-deceptive.

"And third, I’ve focused on investigating these past couple of days, discovering that the Murong family’s influence and reputation, along with your wide network of friends, make you an excellent candidate.

"I intend to rescue a portion of Cultivators from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Heaven and Earth Bridge Realm from this world, those below the Nascent Soul. I need someone to step out, to lead them, and also to restrain them."

Wang Jixuan looked at Murong Zhengyi and said slowly:

"Are you willing to shoulder this responsibility?"

Murong Zhengyi frowned and said: "I can only say I will give my all to try..."

"Mm, you give it your all, then it’s settled with you."

Wang Jixuan stood up and stretched lazily.

The two female guards, previously seen, came over with wine and dishes. He waved his hand and left directly.

Just as Wang Jixuan left, Murong Zhengyi looked down and exhaled, with drops of hot sweat appearing on his forehead.

This guy, too, proved to be ruthless, taking a deep breath, forcibly refining the elixir’s power, his figure steady, cultivation rapidly increasing.

Immortal Elixirs aren’t easy to digest.
