How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Upon returning to the capital, Li Haoyang went straight to the palace without going anywhere else.

Li Haoyang approached the emperor in tears, bowed, and said, "Your subject greets Your Majesty. Waaah..."

"Yang'er, it's good that you're back safe and sound. Quickly tell your father why you suddenly disappeared? Elder Gu said the secret realm collapsed and you didn't come out. What happened?"

Li Haoyang cried as he pleaded, "Father, you must do justice for your son!"

"Shut up! What kind of man cries like this? It's unbecoming!"

"Father, this is what happened. Not long after I entered the secret realm, I encountered Mu Qingcheng. I sincerely explained to her that what happened last time was a misunderstanding and I have already apologized to her. But she said that if she kills me, she doesn't have to marry me."

"Before I could explain anything, Mu Qingcheng and the other disciples of the Wanfa Sect attacked me. If it weren't for the guards risking their lives to protect me, I probably wouldn't be seeing my father again."

"Although I escaped by sheer luck, I was seriously injured and fell unconscious. When I woke up, I found myself in the Blazing Fire Sect. After some investigation, I learned that disciples of the Blazing Fire Sect found me unconscious when they came out of the secret realm, and they rescued me and brought me back to the Blazing Fire Sect. After I understood what had happened, I immediately rushed back to see my father."

"Good, good, the Mu family! Good, Mu Qingcheng! How dare they try to kill my son? Are they trying to rebel?" Emperor Li roared in fury.

"Yang'er, go back to the palace and rest well. I will definitely hold the Mu family accountable for this matter."

"Your subject thanks Your Majesty."

The moment he turned around, a strange, cold smile appeared on Li Haoyang's lips, and a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.

Emperor Li asked the air behind him, "Do you think Yang'er's words are true or false? I have a feeling that Yang'er has changed a bit since he came back this time."

A figure slowly emerged from the air behind him and said, "Your Majesty, I also find the First Prince rather strange. It seems like he's hiding something from you."

"Send someone to the Blazing Fire Sect to find out if this is true."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After saying that, the person disappeared.

穆府

"Brother, news just came from the palace that the eldest prince has returned and went to the palace to meet His Majesty as soon as he arrived."

"Jingxing, do you think the Crown Prince's disappearance is related to Qingcheng?"

"Whether it is or not, we'll know tomorrow. Even if it is, so what? The emperor can't do anything to us. Putting aside the power of our Mu family, the Wanfa Sect is standing behind Qingcheng now. The emperor doesn't dare to turn against us."

"Brother, what we need to do right now is to find out how the Myriad Laws Sect views Qingcheng's engagement. Only after we understand this can we know what to do next."

"Alright, after you've found out more about the Crown Prince's situation tomorrow, go to the Myriad Laws Sect to see Qingcheng."

Early the next morning...

As soon as Lu Chen woke up, he saw four eyes staring at him...

Knowing that she was going out to play the next day, Xiao Ningyun didn't even go back to her own cave. Instead, she hugged Lu Hou and slept on the sect leader's chair, afraid that if she went back to her own courtyard, Lu Chen wouldn't take her with him when she woke up.

"Why are you two little devils staring at your teacher like that?"

"Master, when are we setting off? Little Hou and I are ready."

"Little Hou, don't you think so?"

Lu Hou nodded immediately.

Lu Chen was amused by the two little ones and pinched Ning Yun's cheek, saying, "Your junior sister Qingcheng hasn't arrived yet. We'll set off once everyone is here."

At this moment, Shen Zhixia led Mu Qingcheng in.

"Your subordinate greets the Sect Master."

"Disciple greets Master."

"No need for formalities, let's set off now that everyone is here."

"Yay!!! Let's go!"

After Shen Zhixia took out the warship, the group boarded the ship and set off for the Tianyu Dynasty...

As soon as they boarded the warship, Xiao Ningyun carried Lu Hou and ran all over the ship.

Looking at the strange beast that resembled neither a dog nor a qilin, Mu Qingcheng asked curiously, "Junior Sister, what kind of spirit pet are you holding in your arms?"

"Sister Qingcheng, this is not a spirit pet, this is Lu Hou, the guardian beast of our Wanfa Sect."

Upon hearing the words "spirit pet," Lu Hou immediately roared angrily: "You are the spirit pet! I am the ancestor of all beasts!"

"The guardian beast of the sect? Lu Hou?"

"Master, this...???"

"Your junior sister is right. It is indeed the guardian beast of our Wanfa Sect. Its name is Hou, and it takes my surname, so it is called Lu Hou. It hatched from the divine beast egg that I put on the offering table. It was just born a few days ago."

"Oh, I see! Master, what kind of divine beast is that Hou? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Just know that it's a very powerful and ferocious beast."

"Sect Master, we have arrived outside the capital of the Tianyu Dynasty. Should we take a warship and fly directly into the capital, or should we disembark now and walk in?" Shen Zhixia asked.

Let's walk!

The group disembarked from the warship and leisurely walked into the imperial city...

Upon entering the imperial city, one finds a bustling scene of people coming and going, though most are low-level cultivators, with only a few Golden Core or Purple Mansion realm cultivators occasionally appearing.

As soon as they entered the city, Xiao Ningyun carried Lu Hou and ran all over the streets, with Shen Zhixia having to chase after her.

"Master, we sell candied hawthorns here."

"Buy it if you like it," Lu Chen replied with a smile.

"They sell small clay figurines over there."

Shen Zhixia chased after him while giving him spirit stones.

Seeing this, Lu Chen secretly gave himself a big thumbs up; bringing Shen Zhixia out was definitely a wise decision.

Just as Xiao Ningyun was about to run to the mask stall across the street, she was stopped by a large hand.

"Little girl, my young master has taken a fancy to your demon beast. Here are one hundred low-grade spirit stones."

"Hmph! My little Hou isn't for sale, please move aside," Xiao Ningyun said with a cold snort.

Lu Hou was furious when he saw that a few ants dared to say they wanted to buy it. Just as he was about to swat the ants to death with his claws, he heard Lu Chen's voice transmission.

"Little Hou, wait a minute, I need to see who's trying to buy you."

"Little girl, you have no choice in this matter. There's nothing my young master can't get if he sets his sights on it. Now you have to sell it whether you want to or not. Just now it was a hundred low-grade spirit stones, now it's just one low-grade spirit stone."

"Guards, seize this monster for me!"

The henchmen immediately rushed up to Xiao Ningyun.

"Do you guys want to die?" Shen Zhixia, standing at the back, shouted angrily.

Upon seeing Shen Zhixia's cold gaze, the henchmen immediately stopped and looked at their leader, somewhat bewildered.

Shen Zhixia's powerful aura startled everyone.

"Young lady, do you know who my young master is? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Tell the little girl to hand over this demonic beast obediently. Otherwise..."

The second prince in the teahouse couldn't take his eyes off Shen Zhixia's face and immediately rushed downstairs.

"Or what? Get out of here. I'll count to three, and if you don't leave, you'll die."

The cold words startled the group, causing them to back away.

Suddenly, a young nobleman approached and said, "Miss, don't be so quick to threaten violence! How about we sit down at the teahouse, have a few drinks, and become friends?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the henchmen immediately knelt down and bowed, saying, "Your servants greet you, young master."

"Master, this person is the second prince of the Tianyu Dynasty. He is arrogant and domineering. Many people in the capital are afraid of him."

"interesting."

Shen Zhixia's icy voice rang out: "One, two."

"You shameless woman, you're asking for it, aren't you? Now I want this monster, and I want your person too."

He looked at the old man behind him and said, "Master Wu, seize this woman for me."

"A bunch of ants."

Shen Zhixia unleashed the pressure of a saint, instantly crushing everyone into a bloody mist. The Second Prince was crushed on the ground like a dead dog, his mouth full of blood.

"You can't kill me, I am the second prince of the Tianyu Dynasty."

The streets were already packed with people.

"Who is this woman? She's too fierce! She even dares to hit the Second Prince?"

"Alas! What a pity, such a beautiful woman is going to be ruined by the Second Prince again. Once the Shence Army from the capital arrives, this girl will have no choice but to be captured."

"This second prince is too arrogant and domineering. He's interested in someone's demon beast and this girl herself."

"Do you want to die? Why are you talking so loudly?"

"Alas! What a pity, these two girls, one big and one small."
