115: Chapter 115 Relationship Exposed!

Following that.

The Prince of Lanzhou sealed off the scene and carefully investigated the remaining clues at the Blood Lotus Sect stronghold.

Ji Taichang stepped into the air and arrived at a remote, deserted wilderness. He thought to himself, 'System, claim the Black Fiend Demon Venerable's cultivation!'

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20% of Black Fiend Demon Venerable's cultivation!]

As the System notification sound faded.

A majestic power appeared out of thin air in Ji Taichang's Dantian, which was frantically devoured by his Nascent Soul and Supreme Sword Bone, transforming into pure and powerful spiritual energy, pushing Ji Taichang's cultivation to skyrocket!

His robes fluttered without wind, and his cultivation aura rose steadily, breaking through the shackles and stepping into the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Stage!

A lot of insights regarding the Blood Lotus Formula also appeared in Ji Taichang's mind, and his mastery of this Demonic Path Cultivation Technique grew even more profound.

Ji Taichang returned to Yongjiang City, planning to say goodbye to the Prince of Lanzhou before heading back.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, the situation is not good!"

Unexpectedly.

The Prince of Lanzhou's expression was extremely solemn as he said to Ji Taichang, "I just communicated with Your Majesty and received some very bad news."

"Your Majesty personally led the expedition, bringing top experts from the Imperial Family, the two Great Clans, and the five Great Sects to strike directly at the Blood Lotus Sect's lair. Logically, it should have been enough to wipe out the entire Blood Lotus Sect."

"However... nearly twenty Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses appeared in the Blood Lotus Sect, half of whom were at the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage, having just broken through not long ago."

"The Blood Lotus Sect Leader's cultivation has even broken through to the Peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage. Holding a Soul Banner, he unleashed terrifying combat power and even heavily injured Your Majesty... This battle ended with both sides suffering heavy losses!"

"Although Your Majesty only has a fifth-level Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, he has the protection of the National Fortune and Dragon Qi. Carrying the Great Wu Emperor Sword into battle, he almost has no rivals below the Soul Transformation Stage, yet he was severely wounded by that Blood Lotus Sect Leader!"

"This is absolutely not the strength the Blood Lotus Sect should have!"

"It's not just the Blood Lotus Sect's lair; the battle situations at other Blood Lotus Sect strongholds are also not optimistic. The Blood Lotus Sect's overall strength has completely exceeded expectations, and every province has suffered heavy casualties..."

Hearing this, Ji Taichang's expression gradually became solemn.

The Prince of Lanzhou took a deep breath and said word by word, "After the deductions of myself and Your Majesty, we believe the Blood Lotus Sect must have received support from a Demonic Path Sect outside the Ten Million Mountains. Only then could their strength skyrocket in such a short time!"

"The Great Wu Dynasty... is in danger!!"

"Setting aside everything else, if the Blood Lotus Sect Leader steps into the Soul Transformation Stage, as long as he doesn't enter the Capital, no one in the entire Great Wu Dynasty will be able to restrain him!!"

Relying on the Dragon Vein Power of the Capital and the heritage of the Great Wu Dynasty.

Emperor Jingxuan is capable of suppressing ordinary Soul Transformation Stage experts within the Capital, but only within the Capital!

This was a very dangerous sign!

Ji Taichang's brow also furrowed as he felt a hint of pressure.

He was currently being targeted by that woman Luo Hongyi. If she brought Blood Lotus Sect experts to cause trouble for him, it would be bad.

Ji Taichang had two Medium Grade Magic Treasures in hand and was confident he didn't need to fear anyone below the Soul Transformation Stage.

But he feared the appearance of a Soul Transformation Stage enemy!

"I still have to find a way to continue increasing my strength."

"The astral sand hasn't been obtained yet, and Nangong Qingya's favorability isn't that easy to continue raising."

"I can only find a way to take down Linlin!"

Ji Taichang stroked his chin, and the figure of Qin Ruolin, petite yet voluptuous, quickly surfaced in his mind.

Although raising Qin Ruolin's favorability wouldn't grant him Emperor Yuanxi's cultivation for the time being.

Maxing out Qin Ruolin's favorability would also grant him a Surprise Gift Pack, which could similarly boost Ji Taichang's strength!

With this thought.

Ji Taichang said to the Prince of Lanzhou, "If there is news of the Blood Lotus Sect, or if you need a helper to deal with them, Your Highness can come find me at any time."

"I am irreconcilable with evil!!"

Seeing Ji Taichang's righteous and stern appearance.

The Prince of Lanzhou was filled with respect: "Fellow Daoist Ji hates evil as if it were his enemy; you are truly a role model for our generation!"

...

After bidding farewell to the Prince of Lanzhou, Ji Taichang began his return to the Qingyun Sect.

Compared to before.

The number of people in the Qingyun Sect had now doubled. Numerous geniuses and experts were vying to join the Qingyun Sect, and pavilions and palaces had increased. This was even after the careful selection by Lin Xueyue and the others.

It could be said that the Qingyun Sect, with Ji Taichang presiding over it, was already one of the top Sects in Lanzhou.

After sensing Ji Taichang's aura.

Lin Xueyue immediately stepped into the air and grabbed Ji Taichang's arm, sinking into a startling softness.

"Yue'er, why hasn't the Protective Sect Array been set up?"

Ji Taichang was somewhat puzzled.

After destroying the Lin Family, Ji Taichang had dug up the Protective Sect Array from the Lin Family Ancestral Land. Once deployed and fully activated, it was enough to block the vast majority of Nascent Soul Stage experts, making it very useful.

"The underground Spiritual Vein of the Qingyun Sect is too ordinary, and the Spiritual Qi is limited, so it cannot support the long-term operation of a Formation of this level."

Lin Xueyue shook her head: "I was looking for you precisely to discuss this. After discussions between myself and the Elders, we plan to move the Qingyun Sect's territory to the ruins of the Wuya Sect."

"The Wuya Sect occupied one of the best Blessed Lands in Lanzhou, with two massive underground Spiritual Veins intertwined. The Spiritual Qi there is far more abundant than in the Qingyun Sect, and the efficiency of cultivation there is much better than in the Qingyun Sect's territory. It is also more suitable for setting up a Protective Sect Array of this level. If the Qingyun Sect wants to continue growing stronger, it must occupy such a Blessed Land..."

Ji Taichang reached out a finger and blocked Lin Xueyue's crystal-clear, rosy lips.

"Alright, alright, you can make the decisions on these matters. You don't need to tell me in such detail."

"I believe in you."

Lin Xueyue's heart trembled slightly, and a warm current welled up.

This unconditional trust moved her deeply.

Lin Xueyue hugged Ji Taichang's arm tightly, her watery eyes staring straight at him as she licked her lips: "Come, follow me inside. I still have some things to discuss with you!"

With that.

Lin Xueyue didn't give Ji Taichang a chance to refuse, pulling him directly into his courtyard, pushing open the door to the master bedroom, and pinning him onto the bed.

...

Just as the two were passionately 'playing doubles'.

A 'bang' was heard as the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open!

"I'm here!"

"Bad guy, why didn't you come find me after you returned..."

Yang Yao's cute and pretty figure came bouncing in, her towering 'full moons' swaying along with her.

But the scene in the room made her body suddenly freeze, as if struck by lightning!

"Ah—"

"Yao... Yao-yao?!"

Lin Xueyue's delicate body also stiffened, her face full of panic and shame. She hurriedly got off Ji Taichang with a 'pop': "Yao-yao, I... he... I..."

Lin Xueyue's little heart was pounding wildly, and she felt her head buzzing. She was so scared that for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Yang Yao bit her lip, her face turning a few shades paler: "It seems I didn't come at the right time..."

"No, you came at exactly the right time!"

Ji Taichang gave a wicked laugh and made a beckoning motion with his hand. With the circulation of his Nascent Soul Stage Great Magic Power, he pulled Yang Yao directly into his arms.
