……

In the Spirit Bamboo Garden.

Wang Fugui prepared some Enlightenment Immortal Tea to entertain Wang Hanmo, with Yun Anchao accompanying them.

In front of Fugui, Wang Hanmo seemed quite uneasy, shifting in his seat.

"I heard that Brother Wang has been implementing bold reforms in Jing'an Prefecture. In less than two hundred years, the place has undergone earth-shattering changes, even establishing several complete industrial chains. Not only have the common people and noble families benefited, but the taxes for the Immortal Dynasty have also increased significantly." Wang Fugui poured a cup of tea for Wang Hanmo and praised with a smile, "Even the Immortal Emperor holds you in high regard and has commended you many times. I truly admire you."

"Fugui, you're too kind. I feel ashamed," Wang Hanmo wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Most of my methods are just imitations of your Wang's Clan and the policies of Chuan Nan Prefecture. Alright, I admit I copied them. You can scold or hit me if you want."

"Haha, why say that, Brother Hanmo?" Wang Fugui laughed, "My Ancestor Grandfather always said that all of humanity is one family. If Brother Hanmo can understand the strategies of our Wang's Clan, you can naturally comprehend my Ancestor Grandfather's philosophy of common prosperity and hiding wealth among the people. We are not afraid of people imitating us; we only fear people being stuck in their ways and neglecting the interests of the common people."

Wang Hanmo immediately showed a solemn expression, cupping his hands from afar, "Master Wang Shouzhe's broad vision is truly admirable. I really hope I can have the opportunity to meet Master Wang Shouzhe and receive his guidance."

"My Ancestor Grandfather happens to be in the Immortal Dynasty these days; I'll introduce you when there's a chance," Wang Fugui said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Fugui," Wang Hanmo said, excited and eager.

After a brief exchange, the two became much more familiar and began discussing various issues.

It must be acknowledged that Wang Hanmo is an excellent talent in internal affairs, with his own thoughts and insights on many matters. Moreover, as a native of the Immortal Dynasty, he sometimes understands the thoughts of the Immortal Dynasty's people better than Wang Shouzhe and me. Even Wang Shouzhe finds it beneficial to converse with him.

With his assistance to the Jing'an Princess, it's no wonder that the Jing'an Princess has achieved remarkable results in both political and military affairs over the years, earning praise from the Immortal Emperor several times.

The two chatted enthusiastically, unknowingly talking for two hours.

Yun Anchao, who was accompanying them, was getting sleepy and took the opportunity to change the topic, "Brother Hanmo, have you heard that the matter with the Jing'an Princess has been settled?"

Wang Hanmo's face stiffened, "How did you know?"

"Haha, we're all relatives of the Yun's Clan. Your little bit of news can't be hidden," Yun Anchao chuckled, "In the past, you and your brother-in-law weren't even related by marriage."

"That's true, that's true," Wang Hanmo said shyly, "At least you didn't marry into the Yun's Clan, unlike Brother Fugui who managed to marry the princess."

He silently added in his heart, and married two at that.

It's known that throughout history, it's extremely rare for a princess of the Immortal Dynasty to marry, let alone share a husband with another man. Wang Shouzhe has definitely set a historical precedent.

If it were in the future, such a thing would be hard to believe.

"Naturally, your brother-in-law is quite capable," Yun Anchao said with admiration, "The princess has always had a strong temper, and managing one is no easy feat, let alone your brother-in-law managing two."

Wang Shouzhe was speechless.

If his eldest daughter heard that, he might get a good beating.

However, with that relationship, Wang Hanmo regarded Wang Fugui as one of his own and couldn't help but ask for advice during their chat, "Brother Fugui, I have a matter that I can't figure out and would like to consult with you."

"Brother Hanmo, feel free to ask anything."

"The thing is, some demon captives in your defense area keep mysteriously disappearing. You've investigated secretly but found some strange traces..."

……

A few days ago.

Various pieces of intelligence were gathered in Wang Shouzhe's Spirit Bamboo Garden.

"Fugui," Wang Fugui also brought back news and discussed it with him, "In recent days, you've used the master's token to check the Wang's Clan's transaction records at the Baibao Pavilion and found nothing unusual. However, one thing is quite strange; over the years, we've been quietly purchasing top-grade spiritual stones from the Baibao Pavilion."

"Coincidentally, just yesterday, an elder from the Wang's Clan secretly mortgaged a Divine Realm inheritance ground at the Baibao Pavilion to exchange for eighty top-grade spiritual stones."

"Top-grade spiritual stones?" Wang Shouzhe pondered, "The Wang's Clan is not a weak first-grade family with two special Void Ancestors. If the Void Ancestors only maintain their cultivation, the basic consumption shouldn't be too much. Even if it's for the family's Void seed to use top-grade spiritual stones for advancement, it's too extravagant."

Top-grade spiritual stones are rare and precious treasures, typically used by those at the True Immortal level when they want to take another big step forward in their cultivation.

Alternatively, someone like Jiang Yuling, who has extremely low aptitude and no hope of becoming a True Immortal, might use the pure and vast energy of top-grade spiritual stones to accelerate cultivation or break through barriers.

However, if Jiang Yuling were to use top-grade spiritual stones for daily cultivation, it would be impossible, as Wang Ningxi, when cultivating at full speed, has a terrifying demand for spiritual energy, and even top-grade spiritual stones would be consumed rapidly, making it too extravagant and essentially a bottomless pit.

Ordinary families, even if they are lucky enough to obtain some top-grade spiritual stones, would mostly use them for their own cultivation rather than offering them to the Immortal Emperor in exchange for more practical benefits.

"You've also received some information," Wang Shouzhe said, "Our personnel infiltrating the Wang's Clan from the Palace of Immortals provided two valuable pieces of intelligence. First, there's a black iron ore area within the Wang's Clan that has been mined for a long time, with a very low level of secrecy, seemingly very mysterious. Second, your people have already set up a trap and caught a steward's weakness, using it to copy the family's financial records from recent years."

"Some of the expenditure items have very small numbers, but their purposes are quite clear, and there seems to be some secret hidden within them."

"Additionally, the information provided by Brother Hanmo is also a point of suspicion."

Wang Fugui's spirit was lifted, "It seems the Wang's Clan is not as honest as it appears. Fugui, let's dig deeper, and we might uncover their secrets."

"Indeed," Wang Shouzhe smiled, "After all, the Wang's Clan is a subordinate of the Immortal Emperor. If we investigate secretly with such a small force, it might embarrass the Emperor if exposed."

"That's true. Since they are the Immortal Emperor's people, it's more appropriate to let the Immortal Emperor handle the investigation," Wang Fugui also smiled, "After all, the Immortal Emperor has more control over the Wang's Clan than we do."

"Then let's trouble Seventy-One Uncle to meet the Immortal Emperor and explain the situation," Wang Fugui said with a smile.

"No, you go!" Wang Fugui immediately shook his head like a rattle, "You don't want to get your legs broken, let him go."

"You go, first because you need to accompany Mengyu, and second, as a senior, the Immortal Emperor might not take it seriously. This is..."

Wang Shouzhe and Wang Fugui exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other.

"Yes, let Ancestor Grandfather go; the Immortal Emperor will definitely take it seriously."

"That's right, Ancestor Grandfather is too idle; you're afraid his days are too boring and need to let him stretch his muscles. However, Ancestor Grandmother and the Immortal Emperor are secretly at odds, so you might make things worse... Hmm, you come up with a plan to restrain him."

"Indeed, we should create some private space for Ancestor Grandfather. How about you draft a plan?"

"Sigh~ Our two seniors are truly filial."

……

A little later.

Immortal Emperor's Palace, Shuyue Pavilion.

By dusk, the sun had not yet sunk below the horizon, and the brilliant sunset was gradually becoming more vivid. The lights in Shuyue Pavilion were also lit, illuminating the entire pavilion as if it were daytime.

Inside Shuyue Pavilion, the Immortal Emperor Yun Tiange was leaning on a grand chair in front of the desk, dealing with various mundane affairs with a bored expression, her face solemn and her mood gentle, as if everyone owed her hundreds of Immortal Spirit Stones.

Throughout the day, almost every minor official reporting to her was scolded.

It's no wonder. Originally, the Immortal Emperor's true self was on duty in the Shenwu Heavenly Abyss, guarding the remnants of the Great Demon Lord Chilong. However, upon hearing that the Wei Clan was visiting the Northern Territory Wang Mansion, even Ancestor Wei Deming would come, she forcefully used her power to threaten the Demon Emperor to take her place, while her true self returned to the Immortal Emperor's Palace, waiting for the Wei Clan to pay a visit.

But after waiting and waiting, she didn't see even a shadow of Ancestor Wei Deming. Instead, she heard that he was traveling with his beautiful wife, visiting various tourist spots in the Immortal City, with no intention of coming to pay respects.

She was almost infuriated, and her temper naturally wasn't good.

Just as the Immortal Emperor finished scolding Zhao Xiqing, who reported on the Weiwu Armor matter, and sent her out of Shuyue Pavilion, a Divine Realm guard suddenly reported, "Your Majesty, Eastern Gan Changning Wang's Clan Master Ancestor Wei Deming is here, holding the [Lowest Pass of the Immortal Emperor's Palace], requesting an audience with Your Majesty."

These close guards of the Immortal Emperor were, of course, not ordinary people. They were either important members of some small noble family or outstanding young people from the Yun's Clan or its branches, selected through repeated screenings to join the guard team.

They usually follow the Immortal Emperor, receiving guidance, and their future prospects are limitless.

Ancestor Wei Deming?

The Immortal Emperor raised an eyebrow, her anger rising, "What is that ungrateful scoundrel doing here? Drive him out for me."

"But Your Majesty, he holds the [Lowest Pass], equivalent to Your Majesty's presence, and I have no authority to expel him," the guard glanced at the Immortal Emperor, looking pitiful, "Unless you issue an imperial decree to revoke his pass?"

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor calmed down a bit, "Did he say what he wants? Did he bring anyone with him?"

When she entrusted Wang Fugui to pass the pass to Ancestor Wei Deming, wasn't it to hope he would come?

"He came alone, saying he has urgent matters to discuss," the guard answered honestly.

Hehe~~

The Immortal Emperor's face suddenly bloomed with a smile, like a peony in full bloom, bright and unmatched.

It seems Wang Fugui has come to his senses~

She immediately said, "Find a nanny to lead him to the [Resting Immortal Palace], and I'll meet him there."

"Resting Immortal Palace? But..." The guard's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, didn't you prohibit any females from approaching the Resting Immortal Palace?"

"What, are you questioning my decree?" The Immortal Emperor's eyes narrowed, and her gaze towards the guard instantly became unfriendly.

"Not at all, not at all, I'll go invite Master Wang Shouzhe," the guard was startled and quickly took the order to leave.

……

Half an hour later, just as the sky was getting light.

Wang Fugui was led by an old nanny onto a flying chariot, flying all the way to the highest point of the Immortal Court.

It was a palace seemingly carved from white jade, exquisitely beautiful, full of immortal charm, overlooking the vast sea of clouds, and reaching for the stars, truly a magnificent palace beyond words.

The Immortal Court, suspended below the sea of clouds, was already full of immortal charm, but this palace was even higher, more magnificent, and more full of immortal charm than any other place in the Immortal Court.

"Wait!" As his gaze swept over the plaque above the palace gate, Ancestor Wei Deming suddenly realized, "Isn't this the 'Resting Immortal Palace' of Her Majesty?"

The nanny said nothing, only pointing to his [Lowest Pass] and then to the direction of the Immortal Emperor's bedchamber.

Just as Ancestor Wei Deming was about to say something, the voice of the Immortal Emperor came to his ears, "Is that Shouzhe? I'm a bit tired from dealing with a myriad of affairs today, does he have anything to say?"

Wang Fugui hesitated for a moment but eventually followed the nanny to the Resting Immortal Palace.

Fugui said the matter was quite urgent and needed the Immortal Emperor's power to be resolved quickly, or the consequences would be severe.

Soon, the nanny led Ancestor Wei Deming to an immortal platform surrounded by curtains.

The platform had rough wind chimes hanging from its corners, and its decoration style was consistent with the overall Resting Immortal Palace, simple yet exquisitely beautiful. The curtains hanging down were heavy and smooth, making the entire platform even more ethereal and adding a touch of reverie.

Just as Ancestor Wei Deming was observing the surroundings, the nanny "whooshed" away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ancestor Wei Deming was left bewildered, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

"Why is he acting coy now that he's here?" The Immortal Emperor's lazy and charming voice came from inside the platform, "This immortal palace is cold at night, come in and talk."

Ancestor Wei Deming steadied himself, lifted the curtain, and entered.

In the next moment, he stood frozen in place.

The Immortal Emperor was actually bathing in a celestial pool... although she was wearing a bellyband and a gauzy robe, her long, jade-like legs were propped up on the edge of the pool, startling him into quickly turning his head and closing his eyes, "Your Majesty, I didn't know you were... um..."

As he spoke, he prepared to leave.

"Stop!" The Immortal Emperor said with some annoyance, "Now that you're here, why run? Speak, what brings you to me?"

"Fugui asked me to come and deliver a letter to Your Majesty, saying it's a very important matter," Ancestor Wei Deming said helplessly with his eyes closed, "Your Majesty, could you put on some clothes before we talk? I'm afraid I can't control myself."

The Immortal Emperor gave him a charming glance.

If he can't control himself, then don't control himself~

However, at this point, she understood that Wang Fugui wasn't here for her but was tricked by Fugui.

As the dignified Immortal Emperor, she felt that enjoying a moment of intimacy with Ancestor Wei Deming was nothing, but she couldn't be so shameless as to throw herself at him.

She immediately waved her jade arm, and a white robe with golden edges wrapped around her body.

At the same time, a stream of immortal spirit energy enveloped Wang Fugui, instantly teleporting him to a star-gazing platform.

The attendants in the palace served fine wine, delicious food, and various immortal fruits. The Immortal Emperor and Ancestor Wei Deming took their seats as host and guest and began discussing the matter at hand.

"Your Majesty, please take a look," Ancestor Wei Deming handed over the letter.

The Immortal Emperor glanced at the letter, her brows immediately furrowing, "Fugui is right, there's indeed something off about the Wang's Clan. These missing demons and the strange traces found remind me of something."

"Your Majesty, are you referring to..." Ancestor Wei Deming read the letter and had some guesses in his heart.

After all, he had dealt with those ancient monsters from the Shenwu period, and naturally had more relevant information than Wang Hanmo.

"Blood Soul Jade!" The Immortal Emperor said, "It's a method invented by one of the most notorious criminals of the Shenwu era, the Evil Formation Immortal. It can extract the blood, flesh, and soul of living beings through formations, using the slight source power contained within to refine Blood Soul Jade. Its effects can reverse physical aging and invigorate the true spirit, extremely heaven-defying."

"Of course, this method is extremely cruel and inefficient, harming countless beings for the benefit of one. In any normal society, such methods are not allowed to spread."

"But to maintain eternal youth, strengthen the true spirit, and gain a longer life," Ancestor Wei Deming looked at the Immortal Emperor, "Your Majesty, are you tempted?"

"Of course, I'm tempted," the Immortal Emperor sighed, "Especially for someone like me, who is at the transition period of a True Immortal, the allure of eternal youth and a longer life is immense. Unfortunately, the Blood Soul Jade refined through this method is too sinister, full of resentment, and extremely difficult to control, potentially turning one into a madman."

"Moreover, as the ancestor of the Yun's Clan, entrusted by the Holy Emperor to protect the human race, if I were to do such a thing, wouldn't it bring shame to the countless ancestors of the Yun's Clan who have passed away? It would also be a disgrace to my own efforts over the past eight thousand years for the survival of humanity."

"Your Majesty's resolve is admirable," Ancestor Wei Deming raised his cup in a toast, "Shouzhe greatly respects you."

Before drinking.

The Immortal Emperor also looked at Ancestor Wei Deming with a serious expression, "In fact, I greatly admire you as well. The achievements you've made in just a few hundred years are beyond even my reach. Shouzhe, I think you're even more remarkable than the Holy Emperor. The future of our Shenwu World rests on you. Let's drink to that."

"Your Majesty flatters me, I am unworthy."

"As for the Wang's Clan matter... no matter what, Wei Deming is a subordinate of our Yun's Clan, so I'll handle it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Let's have another drink."

"Your Majesty, have a few more."

"In a bad mood, what's the matter with looking down on me? Drink~~~"

"I am humbled."

The two of them drank cup after cup, getting more and more spirited, talking about life ideals, the great forces in the sky, and the endless void and vast stars~~

"When the time comes, I want to be buried among the stars, Shouzhe, let's have another."

The next day.

Wang Fugui himself didn't know how he returned to the Northern Territory Wang Mansion's other courtyard. When he woke up, he felt confused, with even last night's memories being blurry.

The wine of Her Majesty is too strong! It seems I should drink less in the future.

"Husband, have some hangover soup," Wei Qingyun personally brought the soup, sitting by the bed.

"Ruolan," Wang Fugui rubbed his temples and sat up to drink the hangover soup, "Thank you, my wife, for your consideration. I was a bit indulgent last night."

"Husband, don't worry. As the head of the Wei Clan, you have a lot of pressure, and it's only natural to occasionally indulge in beauty," Wei Qingyun said with a gentle smile, "But when will you bring Tiange home? It would be nice to have a regular mahjong partner."

Ancestor Wei Deming was startled, "Why do you say that, my wife? Tiange and I are innocent."

"Husband, don't be so relaxed. Look at An Ye, he married two, and Fugui also married two," Wei Qingyun said with a gentle smile, "As the head of the family, it's not unusual to have such thoughts."

"No, no, my heart for Ruolan is as clear as the heavens and the earth, witnessed by the sun and moon," Wang Fugui solemnly swore, "Tiange and I were just discussing business, and I ended up drinking too much."

"Those words are touching. But when you say such moving words, could you wipe off the lip print with immortal spirit energy on your neck first?"

"Besides, if you had no other thoughts, would you let Ningxi plan for the heir's wife to take you out shopping to get rid of you?"

"You... wait, what did my wife give me?" Wang Fugui was about to explain but suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Oh~ that," Wei Qingyun said, "I suddenly remembered a recipe I got from the future, from a male cultivator called the 'Red Dust Evil Immortal.' This True Immortal male cultivator was skilled in absorbing yang to replenish yin, extremely sinister and vicious, with no less than four thousand female cultivators dying at his hands. The recipe is called [Spring Silkworms to Death Silk Ends]."

"What kind of name is that?"

Ancestor Wei Deming was horrified, a bad premonition arising.

"Husband, quickly experience it~" Wei Qingyun's smile was gentle, like a spring breeze, "Don't worry too much, I also brought the portable cave mansion."

Is that what you're worried about?

Ancestor Wei Deming wanted to cry but had no tears.

……

Some time ago.

In the depths of the Wang's Clan mine.

In the originally empty formation, an old man in a white robe sat cross-legged.

He looked extremely old, with sparse hair, pale skin, and an aura that was obscure and mysterious, carrying an indescribable eerie feeling.

Rich blood soul energy surrounded him, as if injecting life into his body, rejuvenating the aged flesh.

Wave after wave of True Immortal Realm pressure spread from him as the center.

The faint sense of oppression made the elders and clan soldiers guarding the underground turn pale, only daring to stay far away at the edge of the cave, not daring to approach.

The Evil Formation Immortal!

Seeing this, the Void Realm cultivator who had just arrived paused, a chill spreading through his heart.

Although the Evil Formation Immortal had said that the Blood Soul Jade could replenish the consumed soul power and revive his body, seeing him come back to life still made the Void Realm cultivator shiver with fear.

A hundred thousand years, it had been a hundred thousand years, and the Evil Formation Immortal was truly not dead!

At that moment, the Evil Formation Immortal seemed to sense his approach and suddenly opened his eyes, his cold gaze sweeping towards the Void Realm cultivator.

"The secret method of the younger generation is truly miraculous, actually preserving the flesh for a hundred thousand years without decay," the Void Realm cultivator swallowed, quickly flattering.

Back then, even without the Evil Formation Immortal's body, he could cause the Wang's Clan to suffer heavy losses. Now that his body was unsealed, he was a genuine True Immortal Realm powerhouse, making Wang Fugui even more respectful and cautious.

"Hmph~ The quality of the Blood Soul Jade they provided is still lacking, the power within is only enough for me to move around a bit. If it were a Demon King level or a Blood Soul Jade refined by a Wang Fugui powerhouse, I could stay inside for a while longer," the Evil Formation Immortal said disdainfully, then asked, "How is the preparation of the top-grade spiritual stones?"

"Qingyun came this time for that matter," the Void Realm cultivator quickly replied, "The eighty-eight top-grade spiritual stones you requested have all been gathered. When can we activate the [Void Transfer Array] and enter the ancient battlefield?"

"As long as the top-grade spiritual stones are in place, the Void Transfer Array can be activated at any time. But have they made the necessary preparations for exploring the ancient battlefield? Is the manpower ready?" The Evil Formation Immortal glanced at the entrance of the cave, noticing a group of people, his tone slightly disdainful, "Just this many people?"

The Void Realm cultivator's face was a bit awkward, "This is all the manpower the Wang's Clan can send. After all, the Wang's Clan is just a first-grade family, naturally incomparable to the younger generation's powerhouses. This exploration of the ancient battlefield will be led by your seventh ancestor of the Wang's Clan. The top-grade spiritual stones gathered by the family are also with him."

"Alright, the more people, the better. Let them come in."

Soon, a group of people entered the cave.

There were about a dozen of them, most of whom were in the Divine Realm, with only two being Wang Ningxi.

These two were naturally the first ancestor of the Wang's Clan, Liu Ruolan, and the seventh ancestor, Wei Dongyu.

Due to past events, Wang Fugui's position in the Wang's Clan was not as it once was. In recent years, under pressure, he had to pass on the [Blazing Fire Codex] to Wei Mingyu. As he aged, his energy waned, and he now seemed like an old man on the brink of death.

In contrast, the seventh ancestor, Wei Dongyu, was in his prime, exuding authority with every gesture.

As a result, Wei Deming's prestige had gradually surpassed Liu Ruolan's over the years, making him the actual leader of the Wang's Clan.

"The seventh ancestor of the Wang's Clan, Wei Dongyu/First Ancestor Liu Ruolan, greets the younger generation of the Evil Formation Immortal."

Wei Deming, leading a group of Wang's Clan loyalists, greeted the Evil Formation Immortal, then took out a bag of spiritual stones from his storage ring and presented it with both hands, "The top-grade spiritual stones you requested, younger generation."

Feeling the pure energy emanating from the top-grade spiritual stones, the Evil Formation Immortal's eyes narrowed, finally showing a bit of a good face.

With a wave of his hand, the top-grade spiritual stones flew out of the bag one by one, hovering in the air behind him. Then, with another wave, the eighty-eight top-grade spiritual stones gathered and shot out, precisely embedding into the slots on the ground.

In an instant, a complex and mysterious large formation appeared on the ground, its faint light illuminating the surroundings.

It turned out that the [Void Transfer Array] was right under the Evil Formation Immortal's feet, integrated with the formation pillars sealing his body, truly ingenious and beyond imagination.

The pure energy from the top-grade spiritual stones continuously poured into the formation, and the light from the formation became brighter and brighter.

Suddenly.

The space shook violently.

A vortex-like spatial passage suddenly appeared above the formation.

The spatial vortex was somewhat unstable, with its center deep and dark, and a vast spatial force continuously emanating from it, exuding a terrifying aura.

Under the influence of this spatial force, the surrounding space was slightly distorted, becoming somewhat unstable.

The Void Realm cultivator couldn't help but swallow, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"Let's go. The spatial passage can only be maintained for a limited time, so hurry."

The Evil Formation Immortal wasted no words, flicked his long sleeves, and took the lead into the spatial passage.

Wei Deming, Wang Fugui, and others quickly followed, entering one after another.

Watching as clan members disappeared into the formation one by one, Liu Ruolan, who was in charge of guarding, sat cross-legged, feeling both anxious and excited.

Throughout history, countless families have risen to prominence by excavating relics, and now this opportunity has finally come to the Wang's Clan.

Although the process was a bit bumpy, fortunately, this ancient battlefield was rich enough.Wei Qingyun relied on the sword cultivator manual given as a deposit by the Evil Formation Immortal, yet he hadn't elevated his aptitude to the level of a Peerless Prodigy. Once he obtained the Immortal Scripture and Immortal Artifact, Qingyun's future would be limitless.

By then, not only the Changning Wei Clan, but even the imperial Yun Clan and the Wang Clan would eventually be surpassed.

Just as Liu Ruolan was filled with anticipation for the future glory of the Wang Clan.

Suddenly.

The space behind me violently trembled, and a delicate jade hand tore through the void, ripping open a seam.

In the next moment.

A noble and beautiful woman, dressed in imperial robes, stepped out swiftly from the spatial rift.

The glow of the formation illuminated her profile, her striking features and the emblematic imperial robes unmistakably signified her identity.

Immortal Emperor!

The overwhelming pressure of the True Immortal Realm emanated from her, instantly filling the entire cave, as if freezing the very air.

"Your, Your Majesty!"

Liu Ruolan's face turned deathly pale, her body stiffened, and she collapsed to her knees, trembling uncontrollably from shock and fear.

It's over!

With the Immortal Emperor appearing here, the Wang Clan's deeds over the years must have been exposed. The Wang Clan is finished! Completely finished!

The Immortal Emperor didn't even glance at Liu Ruolan, her gaze sharply sweeping over the formation within the cave, her expression darkening: "A Void Transfer Array? And lingering traces of evil aura. It seems the Wang Clan is indeed guilty."

As she spoke, Guo Weilu and his wife also stepped through the void to follow.

However, unlike Wei Qingyun's radiant appearance, Ancestor Wei De seemed somewhat exhausted and dispirited, as if overly depleted.

"Void Transfer Array!?"

Noticing the scene within the cave, Wei Qingyun's eyes suddenly changed, a terrifying chill and murderous intent surged from him, instantly filling the entire mining area.

Even the Immortal Sword Niyue at his waist was stimulated, emitting a series of sword cries.

And Guo Weilu's voice, in that instant, became exceptionally cold, filled with killing intent.

"It's him, the traitor!"

...
