13: Everyone has their own agenda! [Please read on!]

"Since we've arrived in the Imperial Capital, we should settle down first. This master is still thinking about going up Cloud Mist Sect for the third time," Jiang Luo said with a laugh, not trying to avoid suspicion.

Behind him, Yun Yun heard Jiang Luo was still thinking about the Cloud Mist Sect. Her heart was filled with vexation, yet she was helpless. She was no longer the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect; one could say the Cloud Mist Sect had absolutely nothing to do with her anymore.

Entering the Imperial Capital, Jiang Luo did not hide his tracks. In front of countless people, he walked into a seemingly luxurious Inn.

Watching Jiang Luo and his group enter the Inn, the major powers of the Imperial Capital felt uneasy.

The Cloud Mist Sect's past served as a warning, forcing them to be on guard. What if Jiang Luo set his sights on their respective families? What means would they have to counteract him?

Among them, the Imperial Family was the most nervous, especially Jia Xingtian himself.

As a front-line observer, he had personally witnessed Jiang Luo's three-move agreement with Yun Yun.

Although they were both Dou Huang experts, if Jiang Luo's opponent had been him, he probably wouldn't have fared much better than Yun Yun.

"A time of trouble!"

In the Imperial City, as soon as Jia Xingtian stepped into his mansion, his face turned as ugly as a frost-bitten eggplant, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Great-Grandfather, although Jiang Luo is powerful, he is not invincible," Yao Ye said, gently setting down her teacup and smiling confidently.

"Great-Granddaughter, you have a plan?" Hearing this, Jia Xingtian's heart rejoiced.

If they could find a way to deal with Jiang Luo, they could stabilize the Imperial Family's position.

"Great-Grandfather, Jiang Luo is just one person. No matter how strong his power, he hasn't reached the point of being invincible."

"If our Imperial Family unites with the other families in the Imperial Capital, I believe even Jiang Luo would have no choice but to temporarily avoid our sharp edge."

"In the past, these families would certainly have scoffed, but after the battle at the Cloud Mist Sect, I think they, if not fools, all know that relying on our Imperial Family is the best choice," Yao Ye analyzed methodically.

Hearing the last part, Jia Xingtian's old face shed its previous dejection.

"That's right! As long as our Imperial Family unites the major families of the Imperial Capital, no matter how powerful Jiang Luo is, he won't dare to set his sights on us!"

"My good granddaughter, you truly are my excellent Strategist!" Jia Xingtian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

With this, what was there to fear from Jiang Luo?

You are a Peak Dou Huang, and I am also a Peak Dou Huang. If we really fight, it's not certain who is stronger or weaker!

After realizing this, Jia Xingtian immediately issued an order, summoning the various Family Heads to the city for a meeting.

The Nalan Family, Mu Family, and Mittel Family, having received the message, all dispatched Dou King experts to gather together without prior arrangement.

Even people from the Alchemist Guild came; the person was none other than Fama, the President of the Alchemist Guild and a fifth-grade Peak Alchemist.

Jia Xingtian got straight to the point: "You are all old friends, so I won't waste words. I believe you have all heard about what happened at the Cloud Mist Sect."

"If you don't want such a thing to happen within your own families, I think it's necessary for us to unite. Only then can we avoid being defeated one by one!"

"Everyone, what are your intentions?" Jia Xingtian's gaze swept over the group.

Nalan Jie was the first to agree: "My Nalan Family is willing to support, after all, my granddaughter Nalan Yanran is still studying at the Cloud Mist Sect. Now that such a thing has happened, how can we tolerate it?"

Mu Chen then said: "My Mu Family also supports this. This Jiang Luo, we absolutely cannot let him continue to be so arrogant!"

Mittel Tengshan's eyes flickered, and he fell into deep thought.

As a merchant, he didn't care whether Jiang Luo's appearance was good or bad; he only cared whether Jiang Luo's appearance could bring profit to his Mittel Family.

Finally, Fama said, "What my Alchemist Guild can do is cut off the supply of Medicinal Pills."

...The meeting continued. Compared to the solemn expressions of these people, Jiang Luo was enjoying the feeling of being taken care of.

Serving tea, pouring water, massaging his shoulders and back—Yun Yun, as a Sect Master, had never done such serving tasks, but today, she truly experienced it.

Aren't Maids meant to manage daily life and attend to physical needs?

"Is Master satisfied?" Yun Yun panted, diligently serving him.

"It would be even better if your movements were a little more gentle," Jiang Luo said, his eyes slightly closed, enjoying a moment of peace.

Yun Yun dared not express her anger about this.

Who told her she lost? Losing the battle but not the spirit.

She could only comfort herself in this way.

Xiao Yi Xian watched her being so attentive, and a hint of jealousy couldn't help but arise in her heart.

As the teacher's Disciple, she hadn't yet served her teacher, but instead, Yun Yun, a latecomer, had taken the lead. How hateful!

At night, Yun Yun, who had been busy all day, thought she could finally get some rest, but a single sentence from Jiang Luo immediately froze her in place.

"Bathe, change clothes. I'm going to sleep." Jiang Luo stretched, admitting that being taken care of was truly comfortable.

"You even need me to help you bathe?" Yun Yun's eyes widened.

"Hmm?" Jiang Luo hummed softly, "Refer to my title while working."

"Master." Yun Yun's expression changed.

Although she knew that as a Personal Maid, she would have to do such things, the thought of a grown woman, inexperienced in such matters, doing it made her shudder.

Jiang Luo glanced at her, teasingly saying, "What, are you scared?"

Yun Yun gritted her silver teeth.

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. You may withdraw. Tomorrow, you will guide my Disciple in Cultivation. You don't need to keep lingering in front of me." Jiang Luo waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

Yun Yun patted her chest, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to stay there for a moment longer. After responding, she quickly retreated.

Seeing her fleeing in disarray, Jiang Luo also smiled. One who didn't know might think he had done something to her.

"Teacher, you must have seen it from the heavens. Today, your Disciple attacked the Cloud Mist Sect and captured their Sect Master, Yun Yun. I presume it won't be long before your Disciple brings Yun Shan's head back to honor your memory, old man."

After a moment of silent mourning, Jiang Luo regained his spirits.

Although Peak Dou Huang cultivation was strong, dealing with a Dou Zong like Yun Shan was still a bit difficult, not to mention the Soul Hall Protector behind him.

If they really fought, it would be hard for him to fight one against two. So, the most urgent task was to raise his cultivation, only then would he have the capital to be arrogant.

His thoughts deep in contemplation, Jiang Luo began his simple and unadorned day of Cultivation.

With the fire qilin flying template, breaking through to Dou Zong was not difficult, so he naturally didn't need the Break-Sect Pill for assistance.

The next day, the sun rose.

In the Imperial Family's secret chamber, the Family representatives, having concluded their discussions, departed one after another.

After a night of intense debate, they finally reached a relatively satisfactory outcome.

That was to sign a Mutual Assistance Contract.

While constantly keeping an eye on Jiang Luo, if he were to act against any of their families, the other families must form a united front and stand together against the external threat.

Only in this way could an interest Alliance be formed, preventing them from being defeated one by one.

"If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided." Mittel Tengshan sighed, preparing to bring the information back to his Family.

However, just then, his gaze, filled with disbelief, turned towards a corner of the Imperial Capital.

There, an extremely terrifying Aura was rapidly rising.

The power of the Aura was rarely seen in his life!

"Who is breaking through there?"

"This Aura, could it be, a Dou Zong?!"

"It's a Dou Zong!"
