Lord Holy Sword is unreliable again.

Upon seeing the fleeting sinister smile on Wang Hong's face, Ji Duanyi became wary and stepped back, exclaiming, "What treasure!"

"This treasure is called the Heaven-Swallowing Glazed Lamp! It was made by the Human Emperor!"

"The Human Emperor?" Ji Duanyi's expression changed. She could indeed sense the aura of an emperor, and it was an extremely powerful imperial aura!

Is this the reason why the imperial energy within her surged?

"This treasure is truly extraordinary; it's far superior to your holy sword!"

A mischievous grin suddenly appeared on Wang Hong's face. "Get ready, but don't get excited!"

A multitude of treasures appeared before Ji Duanyi, the magical artifacts piled up like a small mountain, filling the bridal chamber with a dazzling light.

A wide variety of goods is always pleasing to the eye.

What's more, it's free!

Ji Duanyi took out a dark green bracelet and gently put it on her fair wrist, which was radiating a golden light.

[Eighth-Tier Magic Item: Please Name It]

[Magic Item Attributes: None]

[Magic Item Information: Contains a high-grade spirit stone and gathers spiritual energy from heaven and earth using a spirit-gathering array. Crafted from Pure Heart Jade, it can increase the holder's cultivation speed and spirit recovery speed.]

[After recognizing the master, the spirit-gathering array can be activated actively, greatly increasing the spirit recovery speed for half an hour. This method consumes the spiritual power of high-grade spirit stones and requires three days to regenerate spirit power before it can be used again.]

"Such a powerful magic weapon, only at the eighth rank?"

The holy sword projected the information of the magical artifact, eliciting a series of delicate cries from Broken Wing.

Magical artifacts that aid in cultivation are rare throughout the entire Four Continents!

Duan Yi dripped his blood into the bracelet, which immediately emitted rays of light. The high-grade spirit stone at its core shone brightly, and the spiritual energy in the room all flowed towards the bracelet, enveloping Duan Yi's body in a vortex of spiritual power.

Wang Hong said smugly, "Duan Yi, you really have an eye for talent, picking out such a powerful treasure right away! Just like you got me, with my imperial aura, without even having to choose."

Wang Hong cursed the Holy Sword inwardly, thinking, "Damn it, how could such a powerful magic weapon be covered in dust!"

One high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!

Is this fucking Rank 8?

He quickly scanned all the magical artifacts.

"Hehe, Lord Wang is so generous!" Ji Duanyi was annoyed when he saw the unpredictable mood on Wang Hong's face, and he began to mock him.

"Here you go! All of it is for you!" Wang Hong knew that Duan Yi had misunderstood him, so he quickly piled all the magical treasures on Duan Yi, which made Duan Yi giggle.

He carefully grasped the broken-winged hand and gently stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Broken Wing, let's give it a name!"

"My heart is like the bright moon, and seeing you is like seeing a ring around it. It is called the Moon Heart Ring."

The Golden Wing Heavenly Thunder Bloodline surged within Broken Wing's body, and lightning seemed to appear in his eyes, causing Wang Hong to feel a tingling sensation in his heart.

Ah, how wonderful it would be if things could always be like this!

"Broken Wing, let's go find Lu Qingyuan..."

Ji Duanyi's smile vanished abruptly.

"Would you die if you didn't ruin the atmosphere?" Her expression was calm, but Wang Hong could sense the anger within her.

His heart skipped a beat; he was terrified of Broken Wing's anger. After all, Broken Wing was a real tigress, and a winged one at that.

Ji Duanyi seemed to see through Wang Hong's thoughts and said calmly, "Do you think I'm cold-hearted, ruthless, and capricious? Do you think I'll turn on you at the drop of a hat?"

She pressed Wang Hong's head down, looking down at him and saying, "You must understand, thunder and rain are all acts of imperial favor! You don't understand the heart of an emperor!"

Wang Hong was really unsure of her thoughts, so he imitated the tone he used when she got married during the day, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Oh dear, Broken Wing Brother, I'm scared~"

Even though Ji Duanyi was furious, he couldn't help but chuckle. He recalled the scene earlier that day when this guy's legs were trembling and hesitant to jump onto the phoenix carriage after leaving Lingyue Pavilion...

This guy, what's wrong with him...?

Her laughter grew wider and happier, and she even wrapped her arms around Wang Hong's neck, couldn't resist kissing him on the ear, and whispered, "Give me a reason to accept Lu Qingyuan."

Wang Hong felt at ease.

Ji Duanyi is a very assertive woman, and she needs such a reason.

A sudden inspiration struck Wang Hong. He cupped Broken Wing's face in his hands and said, "I'll show you another treasure."

After he finished speaking, the glass lamp shone brightly.

Three stunningly beautiful women appeared before Ji Duanyi.

Ji Duanyi abruptly retreated, his body trembling uncontrollably. Pointing at Wang Hong, he said incredulously, "Don't tell me these are all your lovers!"

"Calm down, Broken Wing, calm down!"

"Are you trying to pull a bargaining trick?"

"Are you saying you'll give up three women so I can accept Lu Qingyuan?" He then drew his sword.

The three women were "warming themselves by the fire" in the glass lamp when they were suddenly called out by Wang Hong. They were startled, but quickly relaxed. Since Wang Hong had let them out, there must be no danger.

Coming to their senses, the three women saw the joyous scene before them and heard the words, "Calm down, Broken Wing!" Their expressions changed drastically, and they each summoned their magical treasures to search for the White Emperor's figure.

"Good, very good. Others keep mistresses in golden houses, but you dare to hide adultery in your cups!" Seeing these women leaning against Wang Hong and looking at him warily, Ji Duanyi's anger intensified, and his peak Foundation Establishment power surged out uncontrollably.

"Quickly put away your little gadgets!" Wang Hong's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly went to collect the weapons from the three women's hands. He turned his head and saw that Ji Duanyi was about to lose control and was about to make a move.

He rushed to Ji Duanyi, putting one arm around her slender waist and stroking her back repeatedly with the other. "Calm down, calm down, let me explain!"

The holy sword projected a huge image, which appeared before everyone.

Scenes from Xiaoyao Pavilion reappeared before Ji Duanyi, except for Huang Qianyu, as Wang Hong did not allow anyone to see her pained expression.

Although I had seen these scenes before when we were in perfect harmony, the Holy Sword's depiction made me feel as if I were there, and the cries of those divine beasts resonated deep within my soul.

Wang Hong then projected the scene of himself being tortured by Mo Jie.

"If I don't go to find Lu Qingyuan today, and the Qing Clan discovers her, her fate will be ten thousand times worse than theirs!"

"I would never forgive myself for that!" Wang Hong said firmly, but secretly gave the three women a look.

Huang Qianyu walked up to Ji Duanyi, tears welling in her eyes, "Sister Duanyi, I was rescued from that underground by Wang Hong. Wang Hong took pity on me and didn't let you see the suffering I endured back then."

She turned to look at Wang Hong, tears streaming down her face. "No woman could ever forget such an experience. I'm afraid to sleep now; the nightmare torments my soul every moment!"

Although Qingxiang and Yunying were shocked to learn that Ji Duanyi was actually a woman, they immediately stepped forward to persuade her once they understood the whole story.

As Wang Hong observed that Ji Duanyi's expression gradually softened, and that Yun Ying even took his hand, he said to Yun Ying, "It's dangerous here. The three of you should go back to my Glazed Lamp first."

The glass lamp shone brightly, instantly sucking in all the demons and creatures before it.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Looking at the empty room in front of him, Wang Hong burst into wild laughter, "I'm a fucking genius!"

He activated the glass lamp, revealing a crack, and saw four women and a silly dog, whispering amongst themselves around the fire. A smile played on his lips, and his divine sense quietly withdrew.

The reason Wang Hong needed to find Lu Qingyuan so quickly was because Lu Qingyuan would definitely try to rescue him.

If Wang Hong lingers too long at the Ji family, Lu Qingyuan might break into the Ji family at all costs. And now the Ji and Lu families must be in danger, they have no idea where the enemy is or who their friends are!

I wonder where that Supreme Elder is now. Could it be that something terrible has really happened?

Wang Hong absorbed the three dowry items into the glass lamp, his face quickly transformed into Ji Duanyi's appearance, he put on Mo Jie's black robe, and walked out of the bridal chamber.

Once the Holy Sword's fusion level reaches 60%, all its functions are enhanced.

[Swordholder's Normal Combat Strength Rating: Mid-Foundation Establishment (Emperor Warrior's right arm is damaged, no improvement).]

[Using stored energy can reach the peak of Foundation Establishment (no further advancement).]

The Holy Sword's single attack can only unleash a maximum of 1 spirit energy, and this remains unchanged.

Strengthen? Strengthen where? Wang Hong was already used to the Holy Sword's nonsensical remarks.

He activated the upgraded environmental scanning module, and the vibrations emanated silently and colorlessly, creating a three-dimensional model of the information within a ten-meter radius, which appeared in his mind.

[Currently, the maximum range of the environmental scan is one kilometer, equivalent to the range of divine sense scanning in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.]

[Recommendation: Given the wielder's strength, do not use this technique against experts at the Golden Core stage or above.]

Well, the Holy Sword is indeed powerful; its function is like a radar!

However, Wang Hong did not turn the scanner up to its maximum, fearing that a Golden Core expert nearby might notice.

He commanded the Holy Sword to try to sense Lu Qingyuan's location, but there was no response for a long time.

[Focus all your energy on sensing the location of the Nine Lotus Lanterns!]

[The faint location of the Nine Lotus Lanterns was sensed, 30 li to the east.]

It was already dark outside, and Wang Hong had no time to curse the Holy Sword anymore. He had just left Lingyue Pavilion when he heard someone call out behind him, "Your Highness Mo, what are you doing here?"

Wang Hong was startled and quickly transformed into Mo Jie's appearance. When he turned around, he was surprised to see Lu Shu!

"Shh, why are you shouting like that!" Wang Hong sternly beckoned to Lu Shu, signaling him to come over quickly. "What are you doing here!"

"Your Highness, a fierce battle has broken out at the Lu family's place, and I was just about to go and find out what's going on," Lu Shu said somewhat guiltily.

Noticing his tone, Wang Hong revealed a grotesque smile. "Oh, really?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Highness ordered me to find Shi Nutian's whereabouts. I only know that he appeared in the Iron Fox Guard, and then he disappeared without a trace. The deputy commander of the Iron Fox Guard is still waiting for him at the entrance of the ancestral hall..."

Wang Hong couldn't help but wonder, was it that this deputy commander was not very bright, or that his own reputation was too great?

"After attending the ceremony today, I saw a large number of elders flying towards the Lu family. I had a feeling that a battle was about to break out. I was afraid that the matter of Xiaoyao Pavilion would be exposed, so I searched for Your Highness's whereabouts."

"So, you're saying you deliberately waited for me here?" Wang Hong's face darkened.

"I only sensed the presence of the Holy Race, so I came here to search for them. I had no idea that Your Highness was here!"

Wang Hong was shocked. There was actually a Holy Clan here. Was it the one who put the Heart-Devouring Technique on Lao Tzu?

This person must be incredibly powerful! Wang Hong broke out in a cold sweat. Perhaps, someone was watching him put on this act right there!

"Now, we're going to the Lu family ancestral hall!" Wang Hong looked towards the horizon and said decisively, "Let's go right now!"

Lu Shu looked puzzled but dared not ask, so he simply said loudly, "Your Highness, this way please!"

After speaking, Lu Shu turned his head and sped off in another direction. Wang Hong did not activate the Emperor's Hero, but instead channeled his spiritual energy to follow closely behind Lu Shu.

A hint of embarrassment lingered on his face beneath the black robe.

Damn it, I'm looking in the wrong direction!
