All Heavens: At the beginning, I was forced to marry into the family by the Bodhisattva of Great Joy

Just then, Di Feisheng saw a familiar figure enter the main hall, but he did not make a sound. The people below began to report to him on some matters concerning the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, and these trivial matters made him a little impatient.

"boring."

The voice wasn't loud, but Jiao Liqiao, who was standing at the very front, heard it clearly. Her Majesty was indeed still the same Majesty who disliked dealing with mundane affairs within the alliance. She was very pleased; this was the perfect Majesty she had always admired.

"Your Majesty, your subordinate has prepared the latest list of ten thousand martial arts masters, which contains all the latest rankings. There are many newly promoted masters on it. Please take a look."

Hearing that there were experts among them, Di Feisheng felt a slight stirring in his heart, but after quickly flipping through the list, he couldn't find Cao Hansheng's name and immediately lost interest in the list of ten thousand people. Just as he turned to leave, Jiao Liqiao spoke up.

"Your Majesty, I have another piece of good news."

"speak."

"I have found the whereabouts of the elixir that Your Majesty has been searching for for ten years, the one that can greatly increase one's inner strength," Di Feisheng said with delight upon hearing this, and then looked at Jiao Liqiao.

Jiao Liqiao took out a map and said, "Your Majesty, here is the map." She then presented it to Di Feisheng with both hands, and he immediately took it and even opened it to look at it with some eagerness.

There was a red marker on the map that read "First-Class Tomb," with the smaller characters "Guanyin Weeps" next to it. His face instantly lit up with a smile. "Good, well done."

"This is all I should do. Is there anything else you require, Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Di Feisheng looked at Jiao Liqiao and, after a moment's thought, said, "The Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance is in its current state thanks to the Holy Maiden's diligent efforts. From today onwards, the affairs of the alliance will be handled by the Holy Maiden."

After saying this, Di Feisheng handed the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance Holy Decree to Jiao Liqiao. Although she looked apprehensive, she was overjoyed.

"Ah, thank you, Your Excellency. Your subordinate will certainly assist Your Excellency in dominating the martial arts world and ruling the world."

"With you here, I feel at ease. Alright, you can all leave now."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After everyone left, Di Feisheng went to the back mountain of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance. The person who had appeared in the main hall also came up behind him, but he did not turn around to look.

"You appeared in the hall just now, why are you only arriving now?"

"Greetings, Your Excellency. I am ashamed to disturb the Alliance Leader's grand ceremony of re-ascending to the throne."

"Heh, you know I'm not interested in these empty platitudes. What I care about, you and the Three Kings knew ten years ago."

"His Excellency only cares about climbing to the pinnacle of martial arts; nothing else matters to him."

"Get up. You are my personal bodyguard, and in the alliance, you are subordinate to me, along with Emperor Yan, King Bai, King Yan Xunming, and the three kings of the Four Symbols Azure Venerable."

Find out where the three of them are right now. The four of you risked your lives to help me establish the Golden Couple Alliance; you shouldn't let others hold you back.

"Your subordinate obeys. Just now, I saw Your Majesty using your qi to control objects in the hall. If I am not mistaken, Your Majesty has now recovered six-tenths of your power from ten years ago."

"A mere 60%?"

What good would it do to achieve 100%?

"This time in Jade City, I met someone who entered the martial arts world seven years ago, seeking out and challenging all the best fighters. He disappeared two years ago, and when he reappeared in Jade City recently, I was defeated by him."

"Is Your Excellency referring to the Blood-Handed Swordsman, Nameless One?"

"It is indeed this person, and he possesses the Yangzhou slow internal strength. Li Xiangyi left me with so much trouble back then, and now he has taught such a person. He is truly remarkable."

"He actually possesses the slow internal energy of Yangzhou. No wonder he was able to rise so quickly. It seems that Li Xiangyi is not dead after all. Your Majesty, I congratulate you. With them around, Your Majesty should not feel lonely."

"Yes, I'm actually quite excited." After saying this, he handed the map of Yipin Tomb to Wuyan. Wuyan took it and was immediately surprised. "Your Excellency, this is the map of Guanyin's tears?"

Ten years ago, Your Excellency searched for it in vain, but now the Holy Maiden has found it. Congratulations, Your Excellency! With this Guanyin's Weeping, not only can Your Excellency's power be fully restored, but you may also break through the seventh level of the Sorrowful White Poplar and reach the supreme eighth level.

"We must take Guanyin's tears, but even if we fully recover our power, we may not be a match for that nameless Cao Hansheng. Only by breaking through to the eighth level of the Sorrowful White Poplar might we be able to fight him."

However, there is one more thing I need you to investigate. Over a hundred years ago, the Southern Yin Kingdom possessed a divine artifact called the Karmic Fire Gu. You must find it. Also, this matter is something only you should know.

"Your subordinate obeys. I have heard of this Karmic Fire Gu. It is the foremost of the three great evil arts of Nan Yin and is known as the King of Ten Thousand Gu. It is said that it can command all the Gu in the world. Back then, Nan Yin dominated the southwest region with this evil art."

"It is indeed true. We must be careful. You are the only one I can trust in the alliance now."

"Your subordinate will certainly not fail in the trust placed in you by Your Majesty."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance, Jiao Liqiao looked at the Blood Granny who was complaining about Di Feisheng and said, "Alright, say less of this in the future. The Venerable One is very important to the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance. If there is a next time, I will take your life."

"I am also indignant on behalf of the Holy Maiden. For the past ten years, the Holy Maiden has worked diligently to protect the Golden Couple Alliance, but now that Your Majesty has returned, you have killed people to establish your authority. It is truly disheartening."

"Blood Granny, I told you, His Majesty is very important to the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance. Don't say anything more in the future. Now that His Majesty has obtained the map of Guanyin's Weeping Land, he will definitely be eager to go and find it. You must keep a close eye on His Majesty."

"Your subordinate understands. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, your subordinate will keep a close eye on Your Excellency."

After the Blood Granny left, Jiao Liqiao took out the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance's sacred decree, played with it in her hand for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, from now on, Aqiao will only have you by her side, and you will only have me by your side, hehehe..."

But after laughing for a while, Cao Hansheng's strong figure suddenly appeared in her mind, and when she thought about what he had done to her that day, her laughter stopped abruptly. "Nameless Cao Hansheng, I want you dead."

However, Cao Hansheng was completely unaware of Jiao Liqiao's resentment, and even if he knew, he couldn't care less, because the Qingque Bian Shishui of Baichuan Academy, led by Fang Duobing, arrived at the Jade City Lord's Mansion, with Li Lianhua following behind. No one knew how he managed to slip through the cracks.

"Lord Yu City, I've heard there's a Mr. Cao in Yu City. Would it be possible to invite him for an audience?"

Seeing that Shi Shui was so straightforward, Yu Qiushuang thought of Cao Hansheng's instructions to her, "I have long heard that Shi Shui of Baichuan Academy is a man of great talent and spirit. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary. If Dean Shi wishes to see Mr. Cao, he may accompany me, the city lord, to pay him a visit."

Hearing this, Shi Shui hadn't said a word yet, but Fang Duobing couldn't help but blurt out, "Mr. Cao has quite the airs. Does he expect the headmaster of Baichuan Academy to pay him a visit?"

"Young Master Fang, if Dean Shi doesn't want to see you, then of course you don't need to go."

"you..."

"Fang Duobing," Shi Shui called out to stop Fang Duobing, then cupped his hands to Yu Qiushuang, "Thank you for your generosity, City Lord Yu. Please lead the way."

"Dean Shi, please."

Seeing this, Fang Duobing didn't say anything more, but looked at Li Lianhua, who was standing calmly to the side, and said, "Li Lianhua, although Dean Shi has cleared you of the suspicion that you are the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance's Medicine Demon, you still have a close relationship with this Mr. Cao."

And up until now, you still haven't said who this Mr. Cao is. I hope you'll honestly tell me what's going on between you two.

"Young Master Fang, even the Hundred Rivers Academy can't manage this much, can they?"
