Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

"Alright, Lei Shan, go and help Ning get settled in."

"I have some things to take care of. We'll prepare a banquet tonight to welcome young friend Ning."

Zhao Yunze waved his hand and then stood up.

It's clear that we need to deal with the issue that was just brought up.

"That won't do."

Lei Shan first shook his head, then said respectfully, "If we host a banquet, it will cause some trouble again."

"Then their spies will inevitably be suspected."

"However, the strange phenomena he created earlier have already alerted others."

The guard who hadn't spoken until now finally spoke.

"We have restrictions here to prevent the news from getting out."

"If it's not one of our own, no one else could do it."

Lei Shan continued, "In other words, some people know the news, but no one has spread it yet."

“But if we continue to host banquets, it will confirm his identity.”

"What we need to do now is figure out how to conceal his identity."

After he said that, everyone present fell silent.

Ning Qi showed no intention of offering advice or suggestions.

After all, he was new here, so it wouldn't be right for him to offer them advice.

"Alright then, pass on the order."

"Just say that the people from before were highly skilled individuals who infiltrated the family and wanted to assassinate the patriarch."

“When the master of the house summoned him, he suddenly attempted to assassinate him.”

Zhao Yunze thought for a moment, then continued, "In this way, they will give up their idea."

"Just send another team outside to put on a show, arrest someone so they can all see it."

"Yes! I'll take care of it right away!"

"..."

Several people immediately accepted the order respectfully and then hurriedly left.

Lei Shan and the others finally felt relieved after they all left.

"Alright, Lei Shan, you're right."

"You reminded me of this."

Zhao Yunze smiled easily and then said, "Make the arrangements. No one is allowed to spread today's news."

"Anyone who dares to talk nonsense shall be executed."

"Yes!"

After he finished speaking, several more people left respectfully.

He's obviously off to make arrangements.

"Then I'll take Brother Ning there."

Lei Shan said respectfully.

"Okay, you guys go ahead. I'll prepare a meal later, and we can all sit down and have a drink together."

"This can also be considered a welcome to young friend Ning."

Zhao Yunze nodded and said with a smile, "No one will suspect us now."

"Yes, we just need our own people to sit down."

After Lei Shan agreed, he turned around and said, "Then we'll go first."

"Alright, you can go ahead!"

Zhao Yunze nodded, then watched them leave.

After they left, he took out a jade pendant and infused it with magic.

"call!"

After a few breaths, the jade pendant burst forth with blinding black light.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom figure emerged from it.

The figure was burly, with a resolute face, exuding an aura of authority without being angry.

"father."

Upon seeing this person, Zhao Yunze greeted him respectfully.

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

He was his father, Zhao Lingtian.

"Today we encountered a descendant of a demon god royal family here."

Zhao Yunze explained the situation: "After he tested our divine pillar here, it triggered an anomaly in the heavens and earth."

"The heavens surge with demonic energy, and dark clouds roll in..."

"Oh? It's confirmed?"

Zhao Lingtian didn't completely believe it, and asked seriously.

"Yes, it has been confirmed. I have already arranged for someone to settle the person in."

Zhao Yunze nodded, still looking serious: "So, what's next?"

"Keep the news under wraps and wait for me to come."

Zhao Lingtian narrowed his eyes, then continued, "No one is to divulge this, or they will be executed without mercy!"

"Father, I have already made the arrangements."

Zhao Yunze nodded and said in a deep voice, "There won't be any problems for the time being."

"That's good. My clone should arrive in two days."

"You must keep a close eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Zhao Lingtian said with satisfaction, "This is an opportunity for our Heavenly Demon Clan! We must seize it."

"Yes, Father."

Zhao Yunze quickly agreed.

"Alright, that's settled then. I'll go make the arrangements!"

After saying that, Zhao Lingtian abruptly ended their contact.

The illusory figure vanished on the spot, disappearing with a wisp of green smoke.

"Father, I heard a master has come to our area?"

Just then, a loud voice came from outside the door.

Soon a young man walked in.

He was robust and bore a resemblance to him.

He was clad in battle armor, and his entire body was surging with demonic energy.

"Tianzang, didn't you go out on a mission? Why are you back?"

Zhao Yunze looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise.

"I was about to leave, but I heard that some people here experienced strange celestial phenomena during their trials."

"So I came to see what was going on."

After Zhao Tianzang came up, he asked seriously, "I heard that he is a master with very strong bloodline power. I wonder if it's true or not."

"That's true, but how did people outside spread the word?"

This is what Zhao Yunze cares about.

He wanted to know what was going on, what people outside were saying about his situation.

"Many people are unsure; they don't know what this celestial phenomenon represents."

Zhao Tianzang shook his head, then continued to ask, "This is a phenomenon that only occurs to the royal family of our Heavenly Demon Clan."

"However, this person came to assassinate, and Lei Shan has already led his men to hunt him down."

"Huh? An assassination attempt?"

"How dare he! I'll go and meet him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianzang immediately flew into a rage.

He turned to leave as he spoke.

"No need."

However, Zhao Tianze suddenly called out to him.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Zhao Tianzang stopped, puzzled, and asked seriously.

"Come up here."

Zhao Yunze lowered his voice and waved to him.

"Dad, why are you acting so suspiciously?"

Zhao Tiancang was curious and couldn't help but ask after he came up.

"This matter needs to be kept secret."

"Father has already arranged for Lei Shan to handle it."

Zhao Yunze lowered his voice and continued, "It's evening. Bring your elder brother and sister to the mansion in the backyard, and I'll explain everything to you in detail."

"Remember, don't let anyone know."

"it is good!"

"I will go and inform them right away."

Zhao Tianzang knew there must be something he couldn't say.

After agreeing, they retreated.

"Go, and remember, do not leak any information!"

After he left, Zhao Yunze continued to remind him.

"Yes, I understand."

Zhao Tianzang nodded vigorously, then turned and left.

Just after he went out, he saw Lei Shan leading Ning Qi away.

The remaining people behind Lei Shan began to disperse.

"Brother Lei, if you send them here, they should be able to get it done, right?"

Ning Qi looked back at the group that had just left and couldn't help but ask.

“No problem, they’re all our Deadpools, there’s nothing they can’t handle.”

“Besides, it’s just acting, which isn’t difficult at all.” Lei Shan nodded, then led Ning Qi forward.

Soon they arrived at a courtyard house.

Above the plaque in front of the gate hang two characters.

"The Zhao residence."

Ning Qi looked at the two words and read them aloud.

"Yes, let's settle in here first."

"It'll be time to see what the head of the family decides to do tonight."

Lei Shan nodded, and then led Ning Qi directly towards the gate.

"Commander Lei!"

"..."

The guards at the gate greeted him respectfully as he approached.

"Let's go."

Lei Shan gestured to several people before asking Qiang Ningqi to follow him inside.

Ning Qi nodded and then followed him inside.

After he went inside, he saw that there were many rare and exotic plants in the courtyard, and some spiritual energy was surging around them.

It doesn't seem like a place within the demon realm at all.

"The higher one's strength, the greater one's control over one's magic."

"There won't be much of a demonic influence here, and our courtyard is also protected by an array."

"There is some spiritual energy in it, so it looks similar to the outside world."

Seeing his curious expression, Lei Shan smiled and said, "There are side rooms in the backyard of this courtyard for entertaining distinguished guests."

"I'll take you here right now. Our place is regularly cleaned."

"Oh, I'd like to see that."

Ning Qi nodded and continued walking forward.

"This is our young master and young lady's courtyard."

"Although they are in the same compound, they are all independent small courtyards."

"However, they are usually not here; they are usually cultivating in their caves."

As Lei Shan led the way, he introduced the place to Ning Qi: "This is my young lady, Zhao Zhirou's, courtyard."

"She's still here from time to time."

"Hmm, this little courtyard is not bad."

"The life that many people dream of is contained in this courtyard."

Ning Qi said with considerable emotion.

He was the same.

However, in order to become powerful, he had no choice but to wander.

When I become strong, I will go back to protect the people I want to protect.

"Yes, it's the kind of life many people yearn for."

"However, our patriarch also has some unpleasant things going on."

Lei Shan nodded, then sighed, "Brother Ning, let's go, the backyard is just ahead."

"it is good!"

Ning Qi agreed and then followed directly forward.

The two quickly arrived at the entrance to the backyard.

Upon entering, the first thing you see is a large back garden.

There is also an artificial lake in the center of the area, with ducks and some lotus flowers on it.

It makes one yearn for this kind of life even more.

Further ahead is a grassy area with some artificial hills and vines.

Inside, some servants were carefully trimming the branches, each one looking meticulous.

"This way."

Lei Shan continued to follow Ning Qi's lead.

After passing through the long corridor, you will arrive at an archway.

The two of them went in together and arrived at the real backyard.

There are many side rooms here, and a bamboo grove in the courtyard.

You can also hear gusts of wind blowing by, which is very pleasant.

"Brother Ning, this way."

Lei Shan led him through the side room and continued walking forward.

"Oh, not here?"

Ning Qi asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, you are our honored guest, how could we let you stay in a side room?"

Lei Shan shook his head, then pointed to the pavilion in front: "This is where our distinguished guests will stay."

"Oh? The attic."

Ning Qi looked up and also looked towards the attic.

That's when I realized I was supposed to live in the attic.

"Yes, come on."

Lei Shan nodded, and then led Ning Qi to the front of the pavilion.

There are two maids here, cleaning something in front of the door.

"Commander Lei."

"..."

When the two saw Lei Shan approaching, they greeted him with the same respect.

"Okay, how's everything packed?"

Lei Shan nodded, then asked in a deep voice.

"Commander Lei, we clean the attic once a day, and it's ready for people to stay in at any time."

Upon hearing this, a maidservant responded respectfully.

"Okay, get a room. Find one in the Sumeru Courtyard."

"These are our distinguished guests; we must not neglect them!"

Lei Shan smiled with satisfaction, then said seriously.

"Yes, please follow me."

The maid looked at Ning Qi and then respectfully invited him.

"please."

Ning Qi didn't hesitate and agreed, then left immediately.

They went up to the attic together.

Inside the attic, upon entering, you'll see a spacious front hall.

There are also two rows of armchairs, with a seat in the middle, which is obviously where the host will sit.

They didn't linger, but went straight to the second floor.

"Young Master Ning, this room."

The maid led him to a room and then opened the door herself.

"it is good."

Ning Qi nodded and then followed him inside.

The maid took out a jade pendant and went inside, leading them to the entrance of a Sumeru space.

She gently shook it at the entrance, and the jade pendant flashed with a fluorescent light.

The entrance to this Sumeru space slowly opened, revealing a small courtyard before them.

The gate to the courtyard was open, revealing birdsong, fragrant flowers, artificial hills, and a small artificial lake.

It doesn't look very big, but it has everything you need inside.

"Young Master Ning, are you satisfied with this little courtyard? If not, we have other courtyards available."

After the maid went inside, she looked at Ning Qi seriously and asked him a question.

"Not bad, this place will do."

Ning Qi didn't have any requirements for this place to rest; having a place to sleep was already good enough.

"Brother Ning, this place will do."

"I'll go arrange something else, and I'll have someone call you when the time comes, okay?"

Lei Shan looked at Ning Qi and said seriously.

"Okay, Brother Lei, you go ahead. You can just send a telepathic message later."

Ning Qi ordered some meat but didn't say much.

"it is good."

After Lei Shan agreed, he said to the maid, "Take good care of our distinguished guest and do not neglect him."

"Yes, Commander Lei!"

The maidservant quickly agreed.

"Brother Ning, I'll be going now! See you later!"

Lei Shan clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ning Qi, and then left.

"Young Master Ning, everything here has been cleaned, so you can rest assured."

After he left, the maid turned around and spoke earnestly to Ning Qi.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

Ning Qi nodded, then focused his attention on a bronze mirror in the courtyard.

There are four bronze mirrors, each over a foot in size.

This, in turn, piqued his curiosity.

"Young Master Ning, this is a place where you can observe the scenery of this garden."

Seeing his curiosity, the maidservant came over and explained, "Each side corresponds to a very beautiful scene." (End of Chapter)
