Book 6: Chapter 86: Divine Vein Transplant! Immortal Emperor Yun Tiange takes flight~

……

"Not entirely." The Crystal Ancient Spirit Artifact noticed Immortal Emperor Mu Yun's emotions but remained indifferent, saying coldly, "The [Sacred Vein Grafting Technique] is a top-tier technology jointly developed by our Research Institute 996 and dozens of other institutes. Once successful, it will have a crucial impact on the future of our Crystal Ancient Clan."

"Now that the Crystal Ancient Clan no longer exists, even if the experiment succeeds, it won't change anything. Therefore, completing this experiment is merely my obsession. I want to know if our experimental approach is correct and if the final plan has any chance of realization."

"Moreover, compared to you, I despise the Atana race even more. That lowly race, which once survived only under the protection of our Crystal Ancient Clan, has no right to acquire the wealth and technology of the great Crystal Ancient Clan."

"On the contrary, your Immortal Clan, although adversarial to us, is one of the most outstanding, noble, and powerful civilized races we've ever encountered. Just like when we spent an enormous price to capture Xuanyuan Tianlan."

"Alright, I understand." Yun Tiange suddenly realized.

This mindset is understandable.

It's simply intolerable for a once-despised race to become one's master. In comparison, a former adversarial race seems less detestable.

She nodded slightly and continued, "In that case, let's begin. I hope we won't let Xuanyuan Tianlan's sacrifice go to waste."

"Please lie down in the nutrient tank," the Crystal Ancient Spirit Artifact said coldly. "I hope for the experiment's success even more than you do."

"Alright."

Yun Tiange complied and lay down.

Soon, a mysterious and cold energy substance began to fill the nutrient tank, slowly engulfing her entire body.

Despite being at the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm, Yun Tiange couldn't resist and fell into a deep sleep.

******

Time passed bit by bit.

In the blink of an eye, three months had gone by.

During these three months, the Atana fleet regrouped and launched several probing attacks.

As a reward for Yun Tiange agreeing to participate in the final step of the experiment, the Crystal Ancient Spirit Artifact 996 brought out its treasured trump cards: a portion of hidden [Source Crystals], a well-preserved [Thirteenth-Tier Crystal Ancient Armor], and a [Strengthening Elixir] that could stimulate the potential of [Mental Power].

Princess Helan was originally at the late stage of the Divine Realm, with qualifications reaching [Peerless B-grade].

After inheriting the [Han Yue Immortal Scripture], her bloodline qualification smoothly crossed into the Heavenly Daughter level, and her bloodline awakening reached the ninth level of the Enlightenment True Body, comparable to an ordinary Void Realm cultivator.

Under the effect of the [Mental Power Strengthening Elixir], her [Divine Sense] was continuously refined, with its strength and purity skyrocketing, barely reaching the [Thirteenth Tier] standard of mental power in the vast void sea.

With this level of mental power strength, she was qualified to wield the [Crystal Ancient Armor].

The Crystal Ancient Clan had weak physical bodies but extremely strong mental power talents. The Crystal Ancient Armor was specifically developed for Crystal Ancient Clan powerhouses with mental power strength reaching the thirteenth tier, significantly enhancing their combat power while protecting their frail bodies.

Before deployment, the Crystal Ancient Armor was just a wristwatch-shaped equipment. Once activated by divine sense, it quickly unfolded, adapting to the owner's physique to cover the entire body, forming a fully-encompassing crystal-white armor.

Due to the Crystal Ancient Clan's frail bodies and strong mental power, the armor was primarily driven by mental power to compensate for the lack of physical strength. Its defensive capabilities were extremely robust, with superior performance in force dissipation, absorption, and buffering to protect the frail bodies of the Crystal Ancient Clan.

Princess Helan's physical strength was at the normal late stage of the Divine Realm, far weaker than a True Immortal Realm Immortal Lord, but still stronger than a Crystal Ancient Clan member with the same mental power strength. Wearing this armor was truly effortless.

Once the armor was donned, Princess Helan's entire aura underwent a dramatic transformation.

The crystalline white crystal covered her entire body, exuding a cold and indifferent aura, as if she were an inorganic substance.

Her mental power, which had already reached the thirteenth tier, seemed to be amplified by the armor, with the vast mental power spreading from her as the core, making her presence even more formidable and awe-inspiring.

At this moment, with the amplification of the Crystal Ancient Armor, she possessed combat power close to that of an ordinary True Immortal Realm, barely filling the gap left by Yun Tiange's absence.

Of course, this Crystal Ancient Armor also had its drawbacks, as it required Source Crystals from the Crystal Ancient Clan or Immortal Spirit Stones to operate, with considerable consumption.

Meanwhile.

After the Crystal Ancient Spirit Artifact 996 brought out a batch of hidden Source Crystals, many Crystal Ancient energy cannons and Crystal Ancient energy shields were replenished with energy, unleashing greater power.

For a time, the Atana fleet's repeated harassment yielded little effect.

Prince Shaman gradually lost patience and finally couldn't resist ordering Gong Lao to take a risk, tearing open a gap in the subspace barrier to draw the fire of the Crystal Ancient energy cannons, once again covering two vanguard teams led by True Immortal combat power to probe into the ruins.

The captain of Prince Shaman's Ninth Fleet, [Luo Kui], and the Seventh Fleet's captain, [Bo Fu], were met with a counterattack led by Princess Helan.

In a two-against-one situation, Princess Helan's forces were forced to retreat, quickly falling back to the core stronghold, relying solely on energy shields and Crystal Ancient energy cannons for defense.

The two captains were immediately excited, having discovered the enemy's weakness~

As the vanguard, if they could break through the defenses of the Crystal Ancient Clan and the Immortal Clan, they would secure the first merit of this battle.

"Bo Fu, we still need to be cautious," Luo Kui led his elite team, constantly dodging and advancing, probing the Immortal Clan's defenses with long-range attacks while reminding his companion, "Don't fall for their bait."

At the same time, they reported the intelligence to the flagship.

In the flagship, Prince Shaman was overjoyed: "Good, good, good! The damned Immortal Clan and Crystal Ancient ruins have finally shown a flaw!"

"We'll approach the space barrier gap and use the main cannon to force them to reveal their trump cards. Gong Lao, be ready to defend against any trump card attacks on our flagship."

With the order given, the giant tower ship immediately flew to the space gap, and the main cannon aimed and fired inside.

Boom!

A beam of light shot into the gap, instantly blasting a large Crystal Ancient Clan building into rubble, leaving a giant crater on the ground.

Yet even so, the Crystal Ancient Clan and Immortal Clan remained helpless, with the Immortal Clan barely holding off the vanguard team behind energy shields.

Seeing this, the morale of Prince Shaman's forces soared, and they intensified their assault.

"Boom!!"

"Boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Under continuous main cannon bombardment, the Crystal Ancient energy shield exploded, and an energy beam directly struck the Crystal Ancient laboratory.

Boom!

In an instant, the Crystal Ancient laboratory was blown to smithereens.

"Ancestor!"

In the midst of fierce battle, Princess Helan's face changed dramatically at this sight, and she let out a mournful cry.

The laboratory was destroyed, and the ancestor didn't emerge. It felt as if the sky had collapsed for her.

Not only her, but everyone was also left dumbfounded.

The great Immortal Emperor, just like that, was blasted to death?

"Hahaha! That annoying True Immortal woman from the Immortal Clan hasn't shown up, she must be dead~!"

While Princess Helan and others were still in shock and grief, the two True Immortal-level vanguards of the Atana race, Luo Kui and Bo Fu, had already led their troops to attack the stronghold from both sides.

They looked at the humans hiding behind various covers, unable to suppress a surge of excitement.

They won!

The great Atana race had won the war again!

"Capture them, capture all the Immortals," Bo Fu shouted in the Atana language, "These are prime slaves, each one is worth a lot."

"Surrender, surrender!"

They excitedly shouted in the Immortal language they had just learned.

As the vanguard that broke through the enemy lines, they would have the privilege of choosing the spoils of war first, and they would gain more, truly a path to overnight wealth.

"All the noble families of the Han Yue Immortal Dynasty, listen up! The ancestor has fallen." Princess Helan gritted her teeth and shouted, "If you don't want to become slaves, follow me and fight! Kill one, and it's worth it! Kill two, and it's a profit!"

"Kill, kill!"

The battlefield was instantly filled with cries of grief and anger.

Wars between different races were extremely brutal, and once conquered, the fate was often worse than death.

Everyone present was handpicked by Immortal Emperor Mu Yun, either family ancestors or elites, many of whom were descendants of the Yun Clan. Their loyalty and character were beyond doubt. In the face of crisis, not a single one fled, instead, they were filled with fervor, their fighting spirit soaring to unprecedented heights.

"Fools." Vanguard commander Luo Kui sneered, a fierce glint in his demonic eyes, "Looks like we'll have to kill a batch first to intimidate the other Immortals."

As he spoke, he swung his giant axe, unleashing a terrifying edge that slashed towards the humans hiding behind cover.

In an instant.

It seemed as if the heavens and earth were torn open, with a terrifying sharpness descending from the sky, as if it would cleave the world in two.

Where the edge reached, the Divine Realm cultivators among the humans were about to perish on the spot, and even the Void Realm experts would likely be severely injured.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Seeing this, Princess Helan's face changed, and she hurriedly flew forward in her Crystal Ancient Armor.

The Han Yue Immortal Scripture floated out from her sea of consciousness, flipping rapidly.

A pure white true dragon suddenly appeared behind her, emanating a boundless cold aura, then plunged forward, merging into her body.

Her crystal-white Crystal Ancient Armor immediately exuded a chilling coldness.

With the thirteenth-tier mental power boost, her Crystal Ancient Armor seemed to come alive, radiating dazzling light.

Under the shroud of cold air, a hazy Han Yue-colored light bloomed, and a semi-real, semi-illusory Han Yue-colored shield suddenly appeared, blocking in front of everyone.

"Boom!"

Amidst the deafening roar, terrifying energy fluctuations erupted, causing the surface of the Han Yue-colored shield to tremble violently, yet it stubbornly held firm, resisting the attack.

Another vanguard commander, Bo Fu, immediately joined forces with Luo Kui to attack Princess Helan.

Their elite troops also charged into the stronghold, engaging in fierce combat with the Shenwu human race.

This battle was exceptionally brutal.

Both sides suffered continuous casualties.

"Quack quack quack~~" Luo Kui shouted excitedly in the Atana language, "This Immortal woman is not bad, she can be sold for a good price as a slave."

"I want half," the green-skinned commander Bo Fu was equally excited.

"Is it over?"

Princess Helan, fighting two opponents at once, was struggling even with the assistance of the Crystal Ancient Armor. She felt the vast mental power in her sea of consciousness rapidly depleting at an alarming rate.

Her originally gentle eyes showed a hint of pain, and her heart was filled with sorrow: "Ancestor, I have failed you."

At this moment.

The ruins of the laboratory suddenly shook violently, and then exploded with a loud bang, catching everyone off guard.

"Boom!!!"

With a loud noise, a figure soared into the sky, suddenly appearing above the battlefield.

It was a graceful female figure.

Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, her face was stunningly beautiful, and even in a worn battle armor, her elegance was undeniable, like a radiant peony flower, exuding a dazzling brilliance.

This woman was none other than Immortal Emperor Mu Yun, Yun Tiange.

Compared to before, she looked much younger now.

If she previously appeared as a mature noblewoman in her thirties, she now looked around twenty-five or six, with even more refined features, adding a touch of elegance and nobility, making her appear exceptionally dignified.

Her aura faintly resembled that of Xuanyuan Tianlan.

And her imposing presence was incredibly formidable, like a blazing sun illuminating and suppressing all directions, making the air in the subspace seem to stagnate.

"Ancestor!" Princess Helan exclaimed in joy, almost unable to contain her excitement.

"His Majesty is alive!" The Shenwu elites were equally overjoyed.

In contrast, the morale of the green-skinned Atana race plummeted instantly.

Luo Kui and Bo Fu hurriedly retreated, cursing about "that powerful female True Immortal" and "falling into a trap"!

In the sky, Yun Tiange stood suspended.

Gazing at the tragic scene before her, her eyes were filled with endless coldness.

With a wave of her jade hand, a long-sealed sacred sword broke free from its restraints, soaring into the sky before landing in Yun Tiange's hand.

"Sister Xuanyuan? Huh, aren't you…"

"Tianyuan, will you fight alongside me?"

The Tianyuan Sacred Sword!

It was the weapon of Xuanyuan Tianlan, the peerless figure of the Tianyuan Dao Sect of the Immortal Alliance.

Without waiting for the Tianyuan Sacred Sword's response, Yun Tiange had already grasped the hilt, flicking her wrist to send a sword light slashing towards the green-skinned commander Luo Kui.

In an instant, a pure white beam tore through space, reaching Luo Kui almost instantaneously.

Unlike the previous Cold Moon Sword Intent, this sword light was grand and majestic, carrying a righteous and awe-inspiring aura, as if it intended to cleave the heavens.

Its power was truly earth-shattering.

The sword light tore through space, leaving Luo Kui no time to react.

Luo Kui barely managed to block before being blasted away, his armor cleaved open, exposing his flesh and bones.

Terrified, he hastily retreated.

How did this Immortal woman become so powerful all of a sudden?!!

Earlier, they could fight her to a standstill with two against one, but now, even with Bo Fu's help, they would be utterly crushed, with no chance of turning the tables!

The fear of being overwhelmed made him feel as if he were facing Gong Lao.

Unfortunately, while he wanted to retreat, Yun Tiange had no intention of letting him escape.

Having fought him for decades, she could barely repel him, but that was all. The frustration of it made her loathe the green-skinned demon commander Luo Kui to the extreme. Now that she had the power to crush him, how could she let him go?!

Immediately, she flashed across space, pursuing him with one sword strike after another, determined to eliminate a limb of the green-skinned fleet.

"You dare!"

At the space gap, Gong Lao, guarding the flagship tower ship, hurriedly intervened. With a wave of his hand, a massive green claw shadow shot through the gap, reaching for Yun Tiange.

In an instant.

The claw shadow crossed the sky, its terrifying power causing the entire subspace to tremble slightly.

"Hmph!"

Yun Tiange snorted coldly, ignoring the claw shadow, continuing to decapitate Luo Kui with a sword before leisurely turning to slash at the green claw shadow.

"Boom!"

The sword light, imbued with the awe-inspiring intent of the Heavenly Dao, struck the green claw shadow, unleashing a terrifying energy shockwave that shook the subspace.

In this head-on collision, the backlash rippled back through her soul, causing Yun Tiange to be blown back over ten feet, a sweet taste in her mouth as a trace of blood seeped from her lips.

Gong Lao's face changed dramatically: "How is this possible?!"

That human female True Immortal was indeed extraordinary, initially able to contend with Luo Kui and Bo Fu without falling behind, but how did she suddenly become so formidable? To engage him head-on and only suffer a minor setback?

Yun Tiange, however, was extremely satisfied with the result.

After a round of testing and self-adjustment, she quickly adapted to her greatly enhanced strength.

Her cultivation was still at the fourth level of the True Immortal Realm, with the main increase in strength coming from the fusion and enhancement of her bloodline.

Xuanyuan Tianlan's bloodline and pure soul had fully merged into her own, becoming part of her being.

She didn't know how the Crystal Ancient Clan accomplished it, but the bloodline power was almost completely extracted from Xuanyuan Tianlan's body. Although the soul didn't contain true spirit memories, it included her understanding of the laws and a powerful and pure mental force.

Previously, these powers were stored in her body using Xuanyuan Tianlan's form as a vessel. It wasn't until the final step of the experiment that they were transferred and grafted into her.

Now, having fused these powers, Yun Tiange hadn't reached the peak of Xuanyuan Tianlan's Fourteenth Level Infinite Sacred Body, but she had reached the Thirteenth Level Da Luo Sacred Body. Her bloodline awakening level was now comparable to that of an ordinary Da Luo Holy Sovereign.

When she eventually ascends to become a Da Luo Holy Sovereign, she will undoubtedly possess the Fourteenth Level Infinite Sacred Body, capable of overwhelming other ordinary Holy Sovereigns.

Additionally, Yun Tiange inherited Xuanyuan Tianlan's [Tianyuan Sacred Diagram], and with its blessing, her mastery of the Sacred Dao far surpassed that of ordinary True Immortals.

Moreover, the fusion of Xuanyuan Tianlan's soul, stripped of true spirit and impurities, transplanted her comprehension of the Xuanyuan Sacred Dao into Yun Tiange's soul.

With the assistance of the Tianyuan Sacred Sword, this allowed Yun Tiange, who was only at the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm, to exhibit extraordinary strength, even capable of confronting a Holy Sovereign head-on.

This was a level far beyond what Qingyuan Holy Son and Saintess of Shuiyue could achieve.

"Kill!"

Having achieved a successful strike, Yun Tiange only paused briefly to calm her turbulent qi and blood before immediately wielding the Tianyuan Sacred Sword to issue a counterattack order.

"His Majesty is mighty."

"The ancestor is mighty!"

Witnessing her formidable combat power, the Shenwu forces were instantly invigorated, each one fervently wielding their weapons, beginning to counterattack the green-skinned demon elites.

Princess Helan was especially fired up, unleashing astonishing combat power, using the Cold Moon Immortal Sword to slay a ninth-tier green-skinned demon with one strike and an eleventh-tier one with five strikes.

"Boom boom boom!"

The Crystal Ancient Spirit Artifact 996 was also furious to the extreme.

The enemy had actually blown up the laboratory!

It contained the hard-earned experimental results and data! And those instruments were invaluable technological treasures!

With the decline of the Crystal Ancient Clan, once these things were destroyed, recovering them would be nearly impossible!

In its rage, the Spirit Artifact harbored extreme hatred for these green-skinned Atana scum, operating the Crystal Ancient energy cannons to bombard the fifteenth-tier Holy Sovereign-level green-skinned Gong Lao.

Meanwhile, Yun Tiange also wielded the Tianyuan Sacred Sword to attack Gong Lao, joining forces with the Crystal Ancient energy cannons to force Gong Lao and the flagship out of the subspace.

It wasn't that Gong Lao couldn't defeat Yun Tiange, but in the current situation, trying to kill Yun Tiange within the subspace would likely come at a great cost.

In the vast void sea, as the only fifteenth-tier member by the prince's side, if he were to suffer severe injuries, the subsequent exploration would be perilous.

The void sea was no place of comfort.

However, before leaving, Gong Lao managed to rescue another green-skinned demon commander, Bo Fu.

The remaining green-skinned elite weren't so lucky. As the Crystal Ancient Spirit Artifact expended "Source Crystals" to quickly repair the subspace gap, those remnants were effectively trapped in a cage.

Within a quarter of an hour, all the remnants were completely wiped out.

Yun Tiange even personally captured two eleventh-tier green-skinned demons, injuring and imprisoning them to extract intelligence.

This was a glorious victory, but the Shenwu human race also suffered significant casualties.

Next, it was time to treat the wounded and cremate those to be taken back. Yun Tiange offered some comforting words before entrusting these tasks to Princess Helan.

Having long presided over the demon domain, Princess Helan was naturally adept at handling such matters.

As for herself, she had more important matters to discuss with the Spirit Artifact 996.

"The laboratory and experimental data have been destroyed!" The Spirit Artifact 996's long-standing indifference finally changed, speaking with resentment and urgency, "Yun Tiange, as the only living subject of this experiment, I need to examine your body and record some data."

"Forget about the data for now."

In a hidden Crystal Ancient Clan building resembling a conference room, Yun Tiange, seeing no one around, couldn't control herself any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Simultaneously, her profound energy became turbulent, with veins bulging rhythmically beneath her smooth skin, as if suffering some kind of backlash.

Her aura was unstable, and even speaking became laborious: "My situation is a bit dire now. The fused bloodline is somewhat uncontrollable, and it's backfiring. Moreover, my appearance and physique have changed by about twenty percent, growing more like Xuanyuan Tianlan."

"Trouble, this is a sign of Sacred Vein transplantation failure!" The Spirit Artifact 996's tone suddenly became anxious, "You should have hidden away to properly digest the transplantation. Acting so hastily has left your foundation unstable. You shouldn't have acted just now!"

Yun Tiange rolled her eyes, unwilling to argue with it.

Hide away and disregard the lives of her clansmen and subordinates? If she did that, even if she survived, she would have no face to return to the Shenwu World and face her fellow countrymen.

"How long can I hold on?" Yun Tiange adjusted her breath, striving to suppress the backlash of the Sacred Vein.

"If you rest well, there might still be hope for continued fusion," the Spirit Artifact 996 said. "If you keep acting like today, maybe half a year, maybe three months, your Sacred Vein will explode due to power conflicts."

"The choice of whether to act or not isn't up to me," Yun Tiange sighed, "But even though the Sacred Vein transplantation failed, it has resolved the current predicament. This way, holding out until Shouzhe arrives shouldn't be an issue."

"Actually, it's still a gain. After all, I acquired the Sacred Diagram and Sacred Artifact. Eventually, the Han Yue Immortal Dynasty will become the Han Yue Sacred Dynasty."

"Before you die, let me examine your body," the Spirit Artifact 996 said.

"……"

Yun Tiange was momentarily stunned but eventually agreed. After all, she owed the Spirit Artifact 996 a favor.

In the following months, the furious Prince Shaman didn't give up, launching attack after attack.

And Yun Tiange, time and again, led her forces to repel them, resolutely preventing the enemy from breaching the subspace.

However, under these circumstances, Yun Tiange's physical condition deteriorated with each passing day.

She didn't know how long she could suppress the Sacred Vein's backlash, only striving to hold on, day by day.

One day.

After repelling another attack, exhausted in body and mind, she was about to rest when a guard stationed at the Moonlight Palace hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, a message from the Immortal Palace, requesting your immediate presence."

The Immortal Palace?

Yun Tiange was overjoyed, almost instantly realizing.

Could it be that Shouzhe had come to aid them?

Without further ado, she swiftly made her way to the Moonlight Palace.

Within the Moonlight Palace's bridge ship, she finally connected with the Immortal Palace through the built-in communication treasure.

From the treasure came Wang Shouzhe's slightly noisy and intermittent voice: "Hello, hello~ Is this His Majesty Mu Yun?"

"Shouzhe…"

Hearing this voice, Yun Tiange felt her eyes heat up, a surge of emotion welling up.

She spoke with a touch of choked emotion: "You've finally arrived."

"I finally managed to contact you~" Wang Shouzhe's voice sounded somewhat exasperated, "The Moonlight Palace is inside the Small World, and it's difficult to connect through the space barrier, forcing us to keep getting closer, adjusting for the maximum communication range, and now we've finally connected."

The communication treasures in the Moonlight Palace and the Immortal Palace were part of the same system, allowing them to communicate within a certain distance.

But connecting through the subspace barrier was challenging.

"……" Yun Tiange's tears were momentarily halted, her face filled with astonishment, "You've been here for a while?"

"About a month," Wang Shouzhe sighed, "To ensure we capture the green-skinned enemy forces in one fell swoop, especially preventing that green-skinned Holy Sovereign from escaping, I had Cai Youdao use the Haotian Eye to observe closely. We planned to press the attack once the green-skinned Holy Sovereign entered the Small World, trapping him inside like a turtle in a jar."

"I didn't expect you to be so determined, repelling the enemy time and again… We couldn't find the best opportunity for a surprise attack.""How could I not fight desperately?" Yun Tiange retorted, her tone carrying a hint of grievance. "How was I supposed to know you were already here? You didn't even send someone to communicate with us."

As for that feeling of being moved, it had long vanished into thin air.

"They had you surrounded so tightly, how could I send someone to notify you? And could you not be so reckless... hiding the Moonlight Palace so well makes it difficult to connect."

"You're the reckless one... If the Moonlight Palace isn't well hidden and gets destroyed, how would we return?"

"Alright, stop arguing." Wang Shouzhe's voice carried a trace of helplessness as he sighed, "Next time they attack, put on a show and lure that green-skinned saint into the Small World of the ruins."

"Wait, how do I know you're really Wang Shouzhe?" Yun Tiange suddenly said, "What if the green-skinned saint got information from a captive and is trying to trick me?"

"Your Majesty, you've gotten smarter."

"Hmph, I need you to prove you're Wang Shouzhe."

"The simplest way is to mention a secret only the two of us know. Remember last time in the Holy Domain, when we were drinking alone in the study, you said that Ruolan's sister had too big of a temper, and if you'd met me earlier, you'd definitely marry me. Have you forgotten?"

"..." Wang Shouzhe was silent for three breaths, "You knew Ruolan was beside me, didn't you?"

"Hahaha~" Yun Tiange laughed heartily, "Who told you to start off by arguing with me, ruining the touching atmosphere? Alright, I understand your plan! Just watch what happens next~"

With that, Yun Tiange quickly cut off the communication, and her previously heavy heart felt much lighter.

She knew that Wang Shouzhe likely decided to implement this strategy after seeing that her situation was relatively stable. Although risky, it was the most likely way to eliminate those green-skinned demons entirely.

She wouldn't have dared to think of it before, but in reality, if there was even a slight chance, she would never allow such a ticking time bomb of a team to linger near Shenwu World.

Next, it was time to test everyone's acting skills~

Meanwhile.

In the Immortal Palace.

A large group of people were looking at Wang Shouzhe with complicated expressions.

Liu Ruolan's gaze seemed to be wandering as well.

Wang Shouzhe looked left and right, troubled about how to change the subject, when he suddenly spotted Wang Zongkun at the door, peeking in with a look of curiosity.

Most importantly, the kid was wearing little sunglasses, flanked by Dragon Jingjing and Yu Kun on either side.

His face immediately turned stern, and with authoritative fatherly might, he said, "Kun'er, come here."

"What?"

Wang Zongkun's round face was filled with confusion as he walked over timidly.

"You rascal, you don't study properly, and you still haven't graduated from the advanced Clan School." Wang Shouzhe scolded, "Look at you, what have you become? Jingjing, Yu Kun, you spoil him too much."

"Wang Zongkun, how did you do on your last year-end exam? Bottom of the class again, right?"

Wang Zongkun's big, dark eyes widened suddenly, and his whole fish-like body froze, looking as if he'd been struck by lightning.

Father, oh father, are you using your son to cover for yourself? Isn't that shameless? What did I ever do to deserve this?

Seeing Wang Zongkun's pitiful look, Liu Ruolan frowned slightly, about to speak, but Wang Shouzhe interrupted her seriously, "My dear, it's not that I want to criticize you. You spoil Kun'er too much... Forget it, it's the father's fault if the child isn't taught well. I'll have a heart-to-heart with Kun'er myself."

Then, he grabbed Wang Zongkun and flew outside, scolding as he went, "This is for not studying hard! This is for wearing sunglasses and pretending to be a delinquent! This is for hanging around with girls all day! Why don't you change your name to Wang Baoyu?"

"Waaah~~ Dad, I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

As Wang Shouzhe left, Wang Zongkun's cries gradually faded, disappearing among the distant jade towers and pavilions.

Jiang Muxian, serving beside Liu Ruolan, couldn't help but twitch her eyelids at the scene, almost unable to keep her expression straight.

The young master, he's as clever as ever~
