I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Xiping County City, Guyun Pharmacy.

When Xue Zhongfa learned of this news...

I felt a slight numbness in my body, and cold sweat kept pouring out of my forehead.

Xue Zhongfa also repeatedly wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

He didn't care about Lei Tianlong's life or death.

Instead, Xu Jing actually invited someone who could kill Lei Tianlong.

If you can kill Lei Tianlong, then you can naturally kill him!

His cultivation level is far inferior to Lei Tianlong's.

Furthermore, his status was nothing special; he was merely a county magistrate.

The sentence above can be replaced with this one.

Xue Zhongfa also realized that he was very likely a scapegoat arranged by the second master of the Xu family.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Now that Xue Zhongfa has embarked on this path, he must go all the way to the end!

If at this time, he were to betray Xu Wangshan and side with Xu Jing?

That's naturally impossible.

Regardless of whether Xu Jing can win, if I were to defect to her, I would just be a substitute that Xu Jing could use at any time.

If he can't get any advantage from Xu Jing, Xu Wangshan will come after him and kill him too.

At this point, he was truly caught in the middle, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Xue Zhongfa thought to himself, his eyes gradually turning fierce.

At this moment, Xue Zhongfa's resolve became even stronger.

"It seems the only option is to contact Second Master and ask the Golden Light Sect for help."

"This Xu Jing is a huge menace; she absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"

Xue Zhongfa thought to himself.

The original plan was to use some overt methods to make Xu Jing back down.

However, the strength and potential that Xu Jing has shown now have frightened Xue Zhongfa. Even if he has to use the most insidious means, he must eliminate Xu Jing.

Thinking of this, Xue Zhongfa hurriedly went to the study to write a secret letter.

A huge crisis has arisen here at Xue Zhongfa's place.

Meanwhile, some subtle situations also arose in the Prince of Xiping's palace.

First, a piece of intelligence was presented to the Prince of Xiping.

It is said that an old man named Lu Xuan from Jinyuan City caused a great disturbance in Huangsha City, even killing the original city lord and becoming the new city lord!

This intelligence caught the Prince of Xiping off guard.

He had originally planned to cooperate with Jiang Tiehu of the Poison Sand Gang, and after taking over Huangsha City, jointly develop the Spirit Explosion Stone mine.

I never expected this.

This is unbelievable.

Lu Xuan got there first.

In addition, all the resources of Huangsha City fell into Lu Xuan's hands.

This made the Prince of Xiping and others very curious about Lu Xuan's background.

They've already ruined many of their plans.

"When you were in the capital, did you carefully research information about Lu Xuan? What exactly is Lu Xuan's background?"

The Prince of Xiping held up the intelligence in his hand and questioned a man dressed in a red brocade robe below.

The man shook his head with absolute certainty.

"Your Highness, rest assured, all official appointments are made through our cabinet. Even some of His Majesty's secret guards are appointed through our channels. I can assure you that Lu Xuan does not hold the status of a court official."

"Unless he was personally appointed by His Majesty, then we have no right to interfere."

The man in the red brocade robe said.

These words caused the Prince of Xiping's face to darken.

He initially thought that Lu Xuan was sent by the imperial court to oppose him, but other matters aside.

The Prince of Xiping also suspected that the original magistrate of Wuling County had been killed by Lu Xuan.

Because Lu Xuan came from Wuling County.

This old jinx, he ruins everything wherever he goes.

The Prince of Xiping wished he could tear Lu Xuan apart alive.

"We can't rule out the possibility you mentioned. Yang Feng, you should go back to the capital immediately and find out more about Lu Xuan's background."

"That's what the Prince of Xiping said."

The man named Yang Feng also stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"You don't need to worry about Yang Kai. I've already arranged everything for him at the Qinghe Sword Sect. He'll become the new sect leader when the time is right."

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng's face lit up with joy.

"Excellent! Your Highness's great undertaking has taken a significant step forward!"

The various martial arts sects are also a crucial part of the Prince of Xiping's desire to completely control the lifeline of the entire Xiping Prefecture.

"It's too early to say it's a success."

"You should go ahead."

The Prince of Xiping waved his hand.

The man named Yang Feng bowed and took his leave.

"Hehe, Your Highness, actually, Lu Xuan's identity doesn't matter much."

"Now that he has shown himself, let's just bury him."

After Yang Feng left, a man who had been sitting in the room spoke slowly. He had a thin face and a body as thin as a bamboo pole, looking as if he could be blown over by the wind. His skin was also pitch black, and it was unclear whether this was natural or caused by his martial arts training.

If this person is hiding in the darkness, then perhaps a quick glance wouldn't be enough to find them.

Although his appearance is somewhat unusual.

But in reality, this person was one of the most famous ghost generals of the Liang Kingdom that night.

His nickname is Black Magic.

He also has a dedicated Black Demon Army under his command.

These Black Demon soldiers are all top-tier assassins, honed through countless trials.

On the battlefield, its most important function was to assassinate generals from all sides.

Anyone targeted by these dark forces is destined to die.

No one could have imagined that the person in front of them was actually the Black Demon Commander, who was feared on the battlefield.

Because of the previous failure.

Therefore, this time, the Kingdom of Yeliang also dispatched the Black Demon General.

As such a vast country, Ye Liang Kingdom naturally possesses countless experts.

If you really want to kill an old man with a fourth-grade cultivation level, it would be very simple.

It's not a difficult thing.

Upon hearing the words of the Black Demon Commander, the King of Xiping's eyes darkened.

It's not that I haven't thought about this.

However, the experts from Ye Liang Kingdom had suffered a defeat at Lu Xuan's hands, which was why they had to send even stronger people.

"If it's really as the intelligence reports suggest."

"Then this Lu Xuan is very likely already a fourth-grade expert at the peak of his cultivation."

"With the strength of the Prince's Mansion, although they could kill him, it would be too much of a fuss."

"The Prince of Xiping said in a deep voice."

It's not that he hadn't thought about such a thing.

But to really achieve that level would require a tremendous amount of energy, which would expose the strength of the Prince's Palace.

Before even starting anything significant, they've already revealed a large portion of their capabilities.

This is not a very easy thing to do.

"Hehe, why bother with that? I've heard that Lu Xuan has quite a few beautiful and delicate young wives at home."

"As long as we capture these people, we won't have to worry about Lu Xuan not obediently submitting."

"Black Demon General said calmly."

The Black Demon General had great confidence in the method he had proposed.

At least that's what he did when he was in Ye Liang Kingdom.

And it has never failed.

This trick is surprisingly effective.

These powerful individuals, having reached such a level of cultivation, have begun to understand how to be good people and how to love their families.

He abandoned his wife and children in his youth to pursue martial arts.

As people grow old, they begin to seek the joys of family life and cherish everything they have.

Once we grasp this weakness, everything will be much easier.

They weren't afraid that Lu Xuan wouldn't comply.

"Oh? Go straight for his family?"

"He certainly had quite a few women."

"But it's hard to say which one he truly loves, which one he'd be willing to give everything for."

"That's what the Prince of Xiping said."

Although he was very dismissive of such methods.

However, in crucial moments, as long as doing so is effective, then naturally no one would mind.

"Since we can't tell which one it is, let's just catch them all."

"Then, dealing with that old man will be a piece of cake!"

"Black Demon General said calmly."

Let alone killing that old man, it's not impossible for him to even turn against us in the face of battle.

"This mission is extremely dangerous."

"But it's worth a try."

The Prince of Xiping finally nodded.

"Leave this matter to my Black Demon Army."

"Your Highness, it's most important to contact Huangsha City as soon as possible and see if we can get our hands on the Spirit Explosion Stone."

"Do you understand?"

Black Demon General stood up and said.

These somber words caused one of the guards behind the Prince of Xiping to frown.

They moved forward with their feet.

"Be mindful of your words when speaking to the prince!"

The guard stepped forward, releasing the pressure emanating from his body.

He was clearly a powerful expert at the high level of the fourth rank.

However, after sensing the opponent's strength, the Black Demon Commander did not show much change in expression, only smiling slightly.

"Hehe, I'm also thinking about the bigger picture. The sooner we get the Spirit Burst Stone, the sooner we can advance our grand plan, right?"

"Our Ye Liang Kingdom has invested so much effort, even sacrificed so many lives, yet we haven't seen any results. It's understandable that we'd like to urge them on, isn't it?"

The Prince of Xiping waved his hand.

"The Dark Lord's words make sense."

"In two months, the Guanlan Ancient City Ruins will open to the public."

"The outcome of everything will be decided in the ancient city of Guanlan!"

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The Prince of Xiping looked at the Black Demon General with indifferent eyes.

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Black Demon General's eyes.

They had all been speculating about where the Prince of Xiping intended to start.

Or how to create such a big storm.

It now seems that the Prince of Xiping had planned this all along.

They actually set their sights on the ruins of Guanlan Ancient City.

This is indeed a golden opportunity.

"I see! Your Highness truly has discerning eyes!"

"So before that, the first thing to do is to resolve the issues of the major martial arts sects."

"Secondly, we need to solve the problem of Lu Xuan."

"We absolutely cannot let Lu Xuan, this variable, affect our plans!"
