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

The Prince of Xiping felt that he had a deep and honest understanding with Lu Xuan.

It even gives the impression that the Prince of Xiping intends to completely destroy the Golden Light Gate in order to support Lu Xuan and to win him over in this way.

But Mo Yan knew very well in her heart.

That Fire Phoenix Fairy is Lu Xuan's person.

The reason Lu Xuan left the Fire Phoenix Fairy at the Golden Light Sect was precisely to gain control of the sect through this method.

Clearly, the Prince of Xiping had sensed something, or perhaps it was a case of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

The choice was to eradicate the Golden Light Sect to prevent future troubles.

In order to deal with Lu Xuan, they actually abandoned the entire Golden Light Sect, and even went so far as to frame the Golden Light Sect with such a crime in order to destroy it.

Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged upon hearing the words of the Prince of Xiping.

Perhaps the King of Xiping thought that by capturing the Fire Phoenix Fairy, he could use her life to blackmail him, but little did he know that such a method would be ineffective.

First of all, the Fire Phoenix Fairy was just a woman Lu Xuan had never touched.

Therefore, there is nothing to place on it, nor are there many emotions associated with it.

Secondly, the Fire Phoenix Fairy was essentially someone who had died once. If she hadn't begged for mercy in time, Lu Xuan would have already killed her.

If he were really killed, it would only be a pity for Lu Xuan.

Women will not be a burden to him.

All Lu Xuan could do was help the Fire Phoenix Fairy avenge herself and stab the Prince of Xiping in the back a few more times.

What angered Lu Xuan even more was that the Prince of Xiping had actually taken action against the Golden Light Sect.

It disrupted his plan, since keeping the Golden Light Gate would be of great use to Lu Xuan.

The Prince of Xiping was also openly provoking him.

In the past, even if Lu Xuan only met the magistrate of Wuling County, he would have to keep his tail between his legs and dare not offend him in the slightest, and would be obsequious and subservient.

But now it's different.

Lu Xuan calmly looked at the Prince of Xiping.

"Whatever the prince does, there must be a reason behind it."

"Those bastards who colluded with the Ye Liang Kingdom must not be let off! Born into a dynasty, they belong to the dynasty. Your Highness, tell me, aren't those who colluded with the Ye Liang Kingdom beasts?"

Lu Xuan chuckled, then looked at the Prince of Xiping with kind and gentle eyes.

When he heard Lu Xuan's words.

The gray-robed old man, who had been hunched over, suddenly cast a fierce glance at Lu Xuan, his cold gaze fixed on him.

As long as the King of Xiping gives the order, even if Lu Xuan's cultivation level is very high, he will not hesitate to take action.

The Prince of Xiping never expected that Lu Xuan would be so arrogant, daring to say such things to his face.

And these words also seemed to have a hidden meaning.

The King of Xiping knew that he was the one who had colluded with the Kingdom of Yeliang. Was he going to call himself a beast now?

That old man has a really sharp tongue.

"Lu Xuan! Stop pretending here."

"Seven days ago, an inner hall steward of my Heavenly Soul Sect was murdered! Do you dare say you didn't do it!?"

Just as the expression on the face of the Prince of Xiping changed.

A powerful figure from the Heavenly Soul Sect stepped forward.

They forcibly steered the topic away from the subject.

And as soon as the other party said this, another huge point of contention emerged, piquing everyone's interest. Clearly, everyone had a very strong interest in this kind of thing.

Upon hearing that something had happened, everyone looked over curiously.

And they temporarily put aside the topic of beasts they had just discussed.

"Who are you?"

Lu Xuan looked calmly at the middle-aged man dressed in the Heavenly Soul Sect's attire.

Normally, that person wouldn't dare to rashly come out and accuse a fifth-rank expert, especially without clear evidence. But just now, he saw that the Prince of Xiping was already in a difficult situation. If he didn't help him out, the Prince of Xiping would probably call him a beast.

As a subordinate, I naturally cannot allow the prince to be in such a situation.

So in desperation, he jumped out and directly criticized a fifth-rank expert.

When Lu Xuan looked at him with a puzzled and questioning gaze.

Even the experts of the Soul Sect that day couldn't help but feel their breath catch in their throats.

Even from a distance, I could feel the immense pressure from the other party.

When confronted by Lu Xuan, they were momentarily speechless.

At this moment, the Prince of Xiping also realized what was happening.

He immediately clapped his hands in response.

"Alright, today's focus is on our ancient city ruins. The various treasures within those ruins are what we're looking for."

"As for the rest, I personally suggest putting them aside for now."

"Just to save me some face."

The Prince of Xiping waved his hand and said.

"Of course, I will give Your Highness face, but if you don't clarify the matter of framing me today, Your Highness, don't blame me for being rude. I've always been a man of my word, and I won't hesitate to kill the leader of the Golden Light Sect!"

"Whatever the Heavenly Soul Sect said today, they owe me an explanation!"

Originally, it was thought that with the intervention of the Prince of Xiping, Lu Xuan would give up.

They'll at least give you some face.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan directly rejected the King of Xiping's offer of face and even declared that he would pursue this matter to the end.

But that's certainly true.

Lu Xuan is a fifth-grade expert.

How can I allow you to defile it so easily?

If I don't establish my authority here today, wouldn't anyone be able to mock and slander Lu Xuan?

The dignity of the strong is naturally inviolable.

If they don't mind, then it's fine.

If we really start to take it seriously, it will be a huge deal.

Even when the Prince of Xiping spoke up, Lu Xuan refused to give him face, determined to settle this score.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very tense.

At this moment, even the King of Xiping's face darkened.

His eyes were fixed intently on Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan, on the other hand, remained calm and composed.

It's as if this matter isn't over until you give me an explanation.

No one can get in.

Although Lu Xuan doesn't have the power to overthrow the entire Xuanwu Dynasty, he could certainly overturn the table for a mere Prince of Xiping like you.

Yi Shuhe's cousin, Yi Huai'an, standing to the side, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He himself did not hold a position in Xiping County, and his visit this time was partly for investigation purposes.

He was well aware of the reputation of the Prince of Xiping.

At the same time, he didn't expect that someone would dare to disrespect the Prince of Xiping.

This is truly worthy of Elder Lu.

Yi Huai'an's gaze secretly swept towards Yi Shuhe beside him, his eyes seemingly asking, "Is it really alright for Elder Lu to do this?"

However, Yi Shuhe gave Yi Huai'an a reassuring look.

Both Mo Yan and Yan Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Meng might not know, and might think Lu Xuan was wronged, which is why she was so self-righteous. But Mo Yan knew very well that Lu Xuan was the one who killed those people.

Of course, she didn't see it with her own eyes.

I won't say anything more at this time.

The King of Xiping fell silent, which effectively put the people of the Heavenly Soul Sect in a difficult position.

Since your Heavenly Soul Sect just claimed that someone killed your disciples, then you should produce evidence. Otherwise, wouldn't you be easily slandered?

Fortunately, this time the person you've slandered is a fifth-rank expert. They won't give you any face and won't let it go. Now we'll see how you get out of this mess.

"You...you say I killed people from your Heavenly Soul Sect, do you have any witnesses?"

Lu Xuan pointed at the Heavenly Soul Sect expert who had just spoken.

The expert from the Heavenly Soul Sect was also of high status; he was an elder of the Heavenly Soul Sect named Zhao Peng.

Zhao Peng gritted his teeth inwardly. He had spoken up just now to help the prince out of a predicament, but now the prince was giving up on helping him? Instead, he was putting Zhao Peng in a difficult position.

"No...no."

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's question, Zhao Peng immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Do you have any physical evidence?

Lu Xuan continued to ask.

"No...no..."

Zhao Peng said, "Physical evidence? By the time they found it, even the corpses had been eaten to a great extent. Where would there be so much evidence? But if we're talking about the series of events that happened, the most likely person to have killed them was Lu Xuan."

Only Lu Xuan has the strength and the motive.

Then who else could it be but Lu Xuan?!

"Heh, since you have no witnesses and no physical evidence, just say I killed your family."

"You want to kill me!"

"Do you know who was the last person to try and kill me?"

Lu Xuan said calmly.

To kill you?

When the hell did I ever say something like that?!

You're absolutely shameless!

Zhao Peng cried out in his heart.

This is such a blatant injustice.

Before Zhao Peng could speak...

Lu Xuan continued.

"It's that Golden Light Master, and some deputy sect leaders of the Golden Light Sect, and some hall master Xiong and the like."

"All those who wanted to kill me were ultimately killed by this old man."

Lu Xuan's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Even the Prince of Xiping heard this as a threat.

"For the sake of Your Highness, I don't want to see blood today. I'll slap myself ten times, and I'll let this matter go."

Lu Xuan waved his hand.

An ultimatum was issued.

Slap him in the face!?

In front of so many people.

Besides the twelve city lords, there are also many other top martial arts masters, all of whom have names and identities.

And Zhao Peng was no nobody.

Now he's actually going to slap himself in the face in front of so many people?!

And this is only because of the prince's influence!?

Zhao Peng's face turned angry.

At this moment, he wished he could fight Lu Xuan to the death.

But when he thought about how the other party was a fifth-grade expert, and how he had first wronged Lu Xuan and then rashly attacked a fifth-grade expert, then Lu Xuan's killing of him would only be more justified.

Zhao Peng's gaze fell upon the Prince of Xiping.

He desperately hoped that the Prince of Xiping would stand up for him and say a word to save face.

"Since Elder Lu has spoken, you should slap yourself ten times as a warning. Never wrong others before things are cleared up in the future."

As soon as the Prince of Xiping spoke, Zhao Peng's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
