save the bachelors

Chapter 4809 4812 [Love Tribulation Has Not Passed]

After getting rid of Pu Du Ci Hang, Xiang Nan opened the portal and headed to Lanruo Temple.

"Master Fu, Brother Ning, we have eliminated the evil monk Pudu Cihang." He said to Fu Tianchou and Ning Caichen, "Please give me your instructions on what to do next, Master Fu."

"Thank you, Master, for eliminating traitors for the country and harm for the people." Fu Tianchou said with a cupped hand, "I will report this matter to the emperor. I beg you to come with me to the capital."

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, and then took Fu Tianchou, Ning Caichen, Fu Qingfeng and others to Pudu Temple.

Everyone was surprised to see that Pudu Temple had become a ruin.

"What is this?" Fu Yuechi pointed at a white, soft thing on the ground.

"That is the flesh and blood of the evil monk." Xiang Nan explained.

"Oh~" Fu Yuechi was suddenly frightened.

"Don't be afraid, it's dead and won't hurt anyone anymore." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"This evil monk has really done a lot of harm to people." Then, everyone saw the mountains of bones piled up in the backyard, which was like hell.

When Fu Yuechi saw this scene, he vomited immediately.

"Carry this talisman with you, you will feel more comfortable." Seeing this, Xiang Nan took out two calming talismans and handed them to her.

"Thank you, Master~" Fu Yuechi took the talisman and looked at Xiang Nan gratefully.

……

Afterwards, Fu Tianchou wrote a memorial on the spot, accusing Pu Du Ci Hang of all his crimes.

Then, Xiang Nan, Yan Chixia, Zuo Qianhu and Ning Caichen escorted Fu Tianchou to Beijing.

Xiang Nan opened the portal and came directly to the capital. Then, during the morning court session, he killed all the civil and military officials who were possessed by demons one by one in front of the emperor in the main hall.

At first, the emperor was so scared that he screamed and thought that Xiang Nan, Yan Chixia, Zuo Qianhu and others were traitors.

But when he saw demons coming out of the bodies of civil and military officials, and after being killed by Xiang Nan and others, they turned into insects, he finally understood the truth.

"I never thought that the whole court was full of evildoers. I have been kept in the dark by them." The emperor sighed, "Why don't they harm me?"

"That's because your Majesty's luck has not yet run out, so they dare not harm you easily." Xiang Nan explained, "They can only confuse the emperor, disrupt the government, and absorb the country's luck. When your Majesty's luck is exhausted, they will naturally harm you."

"So that's how it is." The emperor suddenly realized, "Thanks to the help of the mage today, I was able to escape from the disaster. I decide to confer you the title of National Protector Mage. From now on, you will always be by my side to protect the country and help those in need."

"I appreciate your majesty's kindness. But I am a layman and not suitable to be an official," Xiang Nan refused.

He didn't want to be a national magician and serve this tyrant.

You must know that if he hadn't favored Pu Du Ci Hang, Pu Du Ci Hang would not have been able to become so powerful that it could eat up all the civil and military officials in the court.

"No, I must do it. I am the Son of Heaven, and my words are golden!" The emperor insisted, "If you have any other rewards you want, just ask, and I will definitely help you get it."

"Your Majesty, I am already grateful for your kindness." Xiang Nan said with a cupped hand, "I dare not ask for any more rewards."

The emperor then reinstated Fu Tianchou and promoted him to the position of Minister of Personnel. He also appointed Zuo Qianhu as the deputy commander of the Imperial Army Command, a promotion of three levels.

Yan Chixia was also named the Protector of the Nation, and even Ning Caichen was given the title of first-class county baron to commend his contributions.

……

After leaving the court, Xiang Nan first returned to Kunlun Sect to meet his master Ling Yunzi. Before the meeting, he put away his golden elixir and immortal scrolls, and suppressed his cultivation to the level before he crossed over with him to avoid exposing his true identity.

Ling Yunzi lived to be 500 years old, with white hair and three long beards, and he looked like an immortal. He was also the current head of Kunlun Sect.

Xiang Nan was stunned when he saw Ling Yunzi.

Even though he was already a god and had reached the pinnacle of cultivation, Ling Yunzi still gave him a sense of mystery and profundity.

He conservatively estimated that Ling Yunzi should have the cultivation level of a celestial being, which was truly incredible.

"Master, your disciple is back." He kowtowed to Ling Yunzi.

"Ye'er, did you encounter any robbery when you went down the mountain this time?" Ling Yunzi asked Xiang Nandao.

Xiang Nan nodded and recounted the story of how he eradicated the evil monk Pu Du Ci Hang.

"I never thought that the world would become like this after I had been away from the world for such a long time. It is true that when a country is about to perish, evil will be born." Ling Yunzi sighed.

"Master, the Emperor wants to confer the title of 'National Protector' on me, but I don't want to accept it. I would rather stay in Kunlun Sect and continue to practice with you," Xiang Nan said again.

Ling Yunzi carefully studied Xiang Nan's face, then counted with his fingers, shook his head and said, "Ye'er, although you have survived the death tribulation this time, you have not survived the love tribulation. Go down the mountain, and come back after you have survived the love tribulation."

He had already calculated that his disciple still had a love tribulation to overcome, and he could not expect to attain enlightenment before that.

"Master~" Xiang Nan was stunned when he heard it, and then begged again.

To be honest, Fu Yuechi is very beautiful, but he would rather stay in Kunlun Mountain to practice Taoism.

After all, there were many beauties for him, but Kunlun Sect was a big sect in the world of cultivation. He had only learned the "Dunjia Fuying Sutra", which was probably not even a drop in the bucket of Kunlun Sect.

"Ye'er, only after you have survived the catastrophe can you hope to achieve enlightenment." Ling Yunzi explained, "Otherwise, no matter how sincere you are and how hard you work, it will all be in vain in the end."

Seeing that his pleading was fruitless, Xiang Nan took a step back and said, "Then please teach me more Taoist magic so that I can better subdue demons and save people. If it weren't for Master Yan's rescue, I would have died this time."

Ling Yunzi nodded.

Zhiqiu Yiye was his disciple who had grown up under his watch, like his own son, so naturally he was generous in teaching him Taoism. Then he waved his hands and two secret books appeared.

One copy of "The Five Qis to the Origin Sutra" and one copy of "The Taiyi Talisman for Delivering from Evil".

"These two volumes are the most secret manuals of our sect. You should practice them carefully after taking them, and you must not pass them on to others or leak our secrets." Ling Yunzi instructed, "Also, you must do more good deeds and accumulate merits, so that you can achieve enlightenment sooner."

"Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will certainly obey your instructions." Xiang Nan bowed and said, then put away the secret book and said goodbye to Ling Yunzi in tears.

……

After returning to the capital, Xiang Nan officially took over the position of the national protector and asked Fu Tianchou to marry Fu Yuechi.

"I came back to the mountain to visit my master this time. My master said that I have a love tribulation to overcome, and Miss Fu Er and I have a predestined relationship." He explained to Fu Tianchou, "So I am very presumptuous, please give up your love, Master Fu."

Faced with Xiang Nan's proposal, Fu Tianchou naturally couldn't refuse.

After all, the other party not only saved his life, but also helped him to get his job back. Moreover, this was a time when the court was looking for people, and he also hoped that Xiang Nan could stay in the capital. At that moment, he agreed to the marriage.

Xiang Nan then went to see Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia.

Neither of them wanted to stay in the capital to be officials. Ning Caichen prepared to return to his hometown, and Yan Chixia prepared to return to Lanruo Temple.

"Brother Ning, are you really willing to give up Miss Fu Qingfeng? I think you two are a perfect match. It would be a pity if you missed each other." Xiang Nan said.
