Chapter 26: Jun Wuchen's Scheme, the City Lord's Demise
In the heart of Sunset City lies a cluster of palaces.
The magnificent and exquisite pavilions and towers are surrounded by colorful clouds, making it an absolutely stunning sight.
This is the central hub of Sunset City, and also the city lord's mansion that governs the entire city.
The divine chariot soared through the sky, its radiant light flowing like a rainbow. A dazzling arc of light traced across the heavens before landing in front of the city lord's mansion.
The guards, who had never seen such a magnificent divine carriage before, were visibly shocked and fell silent.
The low roar of the golden dragon-lion further terrified them, making them tremble with fear.
I wonder which important figure has arrived!
Upon seeing the voluptuous woman descend from the divine carriage, the guards immediately knelt down in worship.
"Greetings, Madam!"
Ji Ruoyun had now regained her dignified and elegant demeanor, exuding an aura of authority without anger, completely devoid of the seductive charm she had shown Su Shengyuan in the cave.
Immediately afterwards, Su Shengyuan, holding Ye Liuli's fair and delicate hand, slowly stepped out of the divine carriage, truly a divine couple.
The man was handsome and refined, while the woman was stunningly beautiful, with a cool demeanor tinged with allure.
Ye Liuli didn't know where Su Shengyuan had brought back this elegant and noble lady, but she didn't ask any questions.
Although she already had a deep-rooted relationship with Su Shengyuan.
But she still knows what she should and shouldn't ask.
As for Qingluan and Hongye, their two personal maids, needless to say.
Their philosophy of life was that whatever the young master said or did was right, and they wouldn't hesitate for a second even if it meant committing suicide.
"Yes, spread the word. Distinguished guests are coming. Anyone who dares to offend them will be executed without mercy."
As Ji Ruoyun issued his order.
The entire city lord's mansion instantly became lively.
All the servants were speculating about what kind of important person had come to the city lord's mansion, that the city lord's wife would personally entertain him.
……
Inside a relatively secluded courtyard of the city lord's mansion.
Jun Wuchen sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, his eyes filled with gloom, almost as if they were about to spew flames. His fists were clenched, and the veins on his hands were bulging, showing his anger.
"The ancient Su family! The Su family! What a small world!"
Jun Wuchen spat out each word from between his teeth, making a grinding sound.
He had naturally heard that Ji Ruoyun had brought back a great figure, and he knew without a doubt who it was—the young man he had seen in the ancient forest.
He never expected that the young man to be so greedy.
Of course, none of these were the reasons that angered Jun Wuchen.
What truly enraged him was learning the young man's identity.
It turns out to be the current Holy Son of the ancient Su family!
Before Jun Wuchen was reborn through possession, he was a powerful figure of the world at the Saint Ancestor level. More than a thousand years ago, he competed with an ancestor of the Su family for an opportunity and was forcefully suppressed and killed.
Fortunately, a remnant of his soul survived, allowing him to linger for over a thousand years. Only then was he able to use the technique of possession to successfully take over Jun Wuchen's body.
Therefore, he and the Su family have a life-or-death feud.
Now that they've encountered the Holy Son of the Su family, they naturally want to kill him as soon as possible.
Moreover, this holy son of the Su family also intercepted his long-planned major undertaking.
New and old grudges combined.
Jun Wuchen was on the verge of collapse; his anger had reached its peak.
"Hehe, the news of Jun Tianhong's death should be getting back soon, right? Next, we should start planning for the position of city lord. With my adoptive mother's status as a shield, the position of city lord shouldn't be a problem."
"I have a thousand ways to kill the Su family's holy son, but I need to find a way to clear my name. I can't bear the Su family's wrath right now."
"This damned obsession, alright, alright, I will definitely help you get Ji Ruoyun, and your sister too. Of course, I will also help you get rid of Jun Tianhong's little beast son."
"..."
…………
Inside a magnificent and grand ancient hall.
Su Shengyuan sat at the head of the table, looking relaxed as he savored the delicacies before him.
Ji Ruoyun sat gracefully to the side, refilling Su Shengyuan's wine with elegant and proper manners.
As for Ye Liuli and the others, Su Shengyuan sent them to another ancient city to search for a precious medicinal herb.
This was the message Su Shengyuan received immediately after entering the City Lord's Mansion.
Ye Liuli's cold syndrome is not so easily cured. It requires a combination of various rare and precious medicines, and the personal intervention of the Medicine Saint, in order to have a chance of a complete cure.
Therefore, during this period, Su Shengyuan sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of those precious medicines.
Coincidentally, the Su family's affiliated forces discovered that a precious medicinal herb he needed was about to be auctioned off in the ancient city next to Sunset City.
Therefore, Su Shengyuan sent Qingluan, Ye Liuli, and the others along.
Of course, they don't need to go there in person for such a small matter.
The reason for removing all the powerful figures around them was to give Jun Wuchen the opportunity to make his move.
It has to be said that Su Shengyuan really went to great lengths for this chosen one.
"The presence of the Holy Son Su in my Sunset City truly brings honor to my humble abode."
A young man dressed in brocade robes slowly stood up, holding a wine cup, and bowed slightly to Su Shengyuan, who was in the superior position.
This young man is none other than...
It was Jun Tianhong's biological son, Jun Xiaoyao!
Jun Xiaoyao is a rising star among the younger generation in Sunset City. He not only possesses the potential to become one of the Eight Great Dao Palaces, but his cultivation has also reached the mid-stage of the Dao Palace realm.
He once fought three hundred rounds with a mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm expert with this level of cultivation and never lost. After this story spread, it became the talk of the town among all the forces in Sunset City.
He bluntly stated that the Jun family had produced a monstrous genius!
However, compared to Su Shengyuan who rose to power, all of this seemed insignificant.
Su Shengyuan raised his wine cup and said, "Young City Lord, you are too kind. Sunset City has unparalleled wonders, and the City Lord's wife is also very kind-hearted. I was fortunate enough to meet the City Lord's wife, so I came to see these wonders and walk along the ancient path. I apologize for disturbing you all."
His voice was gentle, without any condescending attitude or domineering arrogance.
Su Shengyuan's refined demeanor undoubtedly left an indelible good impression on everyone present.
Only Ji Ruoyun secretly glanced at Su Shengyuan.
This face is too deceptive.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Holy Son of the Su family was a very upright person.
Besides, the ancient road you walked on...
Is this serious?
"Haha, Saint Su, you flatter me. My mother is indeed kind-hearted and likes to help people in need."
Unaware of the truth, Jun Xiaoyao felt as if his soul was about to float to the heavens when Su Shengyuan praised him.
Although Su Shengzi was praising her mother, she, as the son, naturally felt proud as well.
Ji Ruoyun fell silent!
It seems that his own foolish son doesn't understand what Su Shengyuan meant.
Just then!
Suddenly, a stumbling guard commander burst in from outside.
"Madam, something terrible has happened! The City Lord... he has fallen..."
