Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

"elder brother……"

Both of them listened to Jiang Ciyou very well and called out.

Yu Ziyi seemed very shy and sat next to Jiang Ciyou without saying anything more.

After calling out, Jiang Tianshuo said, "Brother, you must be the Sword Master of the Tang Sect, right? I admire you so much!"

Self-worship?

What do you admire about me?

"You're very strong!"

Jiang Tianshuo clenched his fist. "If I had been as strong as you before, my parents wouldn't have died..."

He paused, his eyes resolute, "But I will definitely become as strong as you in the future, and I will never let the people around me get hurt again!"

Good, that's ambitious!

Li Moxuan thought highly of him and asked, "Who is your guardian angel?"

"Kuafu, Sister Jiang said he is a very powerful guardian deity, much stronger than those bastards she killed before!"

Given that his surname is Jiang and his guardian deity is a subordinate of Chi You, Li Moxuan was almost certain that the Jiang Tianshuo in front of him was Jiang Mingxuan's father, or at least they were related...

"That's backbone!"

Li Moxuan patted him on the shoulder, "A man should be a pillar of strength, not a coward who's afraid of death..."

It was impossible for Jiang Tianshuo not to be happy to be recognized by someone he admired. He nodded vigorously, feeling a little smug.

"Hey, you can't eat cake like a meal!"

Yue Xiling clapped her hands and stood up. "Let's go to Jingyue Pavilion. I've prepared the ingredients. Let's have a big feast!"

Jingyuexuan is the courtyard next to Tingyuxuan. Yue Xiling took it from Tang Wunian and renamed it.

The group arrived at Jingyue Pavilion. Li Moxuan wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but the two of them kicked him out because he was the birthday boy.

He could only stand alone by the window, gazing at the full moon in the sky, murmuring to himself, "In a little while, I'll be able to go back and see you all..."

Just then, a noise came from the kitchen, "Birthday boy/girl, come in and help serve the dishes!"

"They're here..."

After setting out the food, Yue Xiling took out two bottles of fine wine. "Happy birthday, sir! We won't smear cake on your face today. Drink to your heart's content, how about it?"

"Okay, I'll drink it..."

Li Moxuan wasn't afraid of drinking, since he could use his divine power to neutralize the effects of alcohol. In this situation, drinking was just like drinking water, and it wouldn't cause any problems.

"Here, let me pour you some!"

Yue Xiling poured wine for Li Moxuan and Jiang Ciyou, and the two did not refuse. They drank the wine in tacit agreement and then used their divine power to neutralize the effects of the alcohol.

In the end, only Yue Xiling was truly drinking; after a while, she was completely tipsy...

She shook her slightly dazed head. "You two, how come you're not drunk? Is this fake alcohol?"

Li Moxuan withdrew his gaze from her. "Could this be her first time drinking?"

"It should be..."

No wonder she didn't even know that divine power could neutralize the effects of alcohol...

Soon, Yue Xiling passed out drunk on the table. Jiang Tianshuo and Yu Ziyi had already finished eating and gone to the courtyard to swing.

"You want that child to help you finish what you haven't done?"

Li Moxuan glanced at Jiang Tianshuo outside the window and asked.

"I can't hide it from you after all..."

Jiang Ciyou did not deny it, "We are too old to compete with these young people. Let's leave the world to them!"

She was still hiding her secret of being able to live forever, but Li Moxuan wasn't surprised, since he himself was also hiding a secret from the future.

He raised his glass. "Then we'll be rivals from now on. When we meet on the battlefield, I won't hold back!"

"Um……"

To be honest, Jiang Tianshuo hasn't fully developed yet. If Li Moxuan were to lead the Tang Clan in rebellion, their only opponents would be the Underworld and the Holy Covenant Church.

Especially the two Ghost Emperors enshrined in the Underworld—it's unknown whether they have the ability to deal with their superior, the God of Destiny…

Jiang Ciyou's gaze fell on Yue Xiling, and she hesitated for a moment, "You're not young anymore, you should be able to sense that Xiling..."

"She's my apprentice, I know that!"

Li Moxuan interrupted her, "Don't worry! I'll take good care of her. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to her..."

He paused, then continued, "By the way, if something happens to me in the future, it would be better if you brought her back to Huanmengtian. The Tang Sect isn't suitable for her right now..."

"You'll have an accident?"

"It's just in case..."

Although Li Moxuan said that, Jiang Ciyou felt that something was wrong. It felt like he was making his final arrangements. Was it just her imagination? Probably?

She pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth. "It's getting late, so I'll be going now..."

To be honest, she didn't know what to do about the situation between the two of them. She could only let nature take its course. Anyway, she was sure she would live a long time, and everything would fall into place naturally.

"So urgent? Why not stay here for the night?"

"No, I've already bought my return tickets. The Skyship should be departing soon, so I'll have to trouble you to take us there..."

"It's nothing, no need to be so polite!"

Li Moxuan shattered the space and sent the three of them there, leaving Jiang Tianshuo stunned and even more admiring of Li Moxuan.

After seeing them off, Li Moxuan turned around to clean up the mess in the house.

After cleaning the table, he took out the longevity pill left by Jiang Ciyou. If he gave it directly to Yue Xiling, she definitely wouldn't accept it.

So Li Moxuan planned to take advantage of her dazed state and force-feed it into her mouth...

He poured a glass of warm water, soaked the longevity pill in it, and then used his divine power to grind it into powder, allowing the medicinal effects to infuse into the warm water.

To make it easier to feed her the medicine, Li Moxuan sat on the sofa and pulled the drunk Yue Xiling onto his lap, slowly feeding her the medicine spoonful by spoonful.

After giving her the medicine, Li Moxuan picked her up and carried her upstairs.

Along the way, Yue Xiling muttered to herself in a daze, "Idiot... doesn't understand anything..."

Li Moxuan ignored her, put her on the bed in the room, then helped her take off her shoes, socks and coat, and gently covered her with a quilt.

After finishing his work, he left Jingyue Pavilion and returned to his Tingyu Pavilion. Instead of sleeping, he calmed his mind and began to cultivate under the moonlight.

Chapter 428: Changing the subject

The next morning.

A ray of sunlight streamed into the room through the window, and Yue Xiling groggily woke up from her dream. She opened her eyes, glanced around in a daze, and the events of last night slowly flooded into her mind.

"Cough cough..."

She smacked her lips. She thought she had drunk too much last night and passed out, but why did her mouth taste bitter?

Yue Xiling thought back carefully. She seemed to have been given something to drink last night, and she remembered coughing...

Being force-fed something...

For some reason, she hurriedly pulled back the covers to check. Apart from her outer clothes and shoes and socks being taken off, all her other clothes were intact and had not been touched.

Yue Xiling silently pulled the blanket back up, unsure whether to be happy or disappointed...

I'm glad I didn't misjudge him; he didn't take advantage of me. I'm disappointed that he didn't seize such a good opportunity. He was useless when given the chance...

But it's okay, there's plenty of time later!

After calming down, Yue Xiling got out of bed barefoot and went into the bathroom, intending to wash off the smell of alcohol.

The sound of dripping water began...

Soon, Yue Xiling, wrapped in a white bath towel and with her long, wet black hair cascading down her back, emerged from the bathroom.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, pulled her coat over her shoulder, and took out a jade-colored bead from her pocket.

Given her relationship with Jiang Ciyou, she would naturally receive a share of something as valuable as the Longevity Pill.

It took Ciyou four years to refine these two items, a period that cost him no progress in his divine realm for four years, and the life was extremely monotonous...

Jiang Ciyou once thought of exploiting a bug to create immortality for Yue Xiling, but medicine is three parts poison, and taking too many longevity pills is not good for the body.

You can eat no more than three pills. Eating more than that will affect your divine sea and lower the upper limit of your cultivation.

Of course, Yue Xiling also knew that she did not crave immortality, but only wished to be carefree and without regrets.

She swallowed the longevity pill in one gulp and began to use her divine power to digest the medicinal effects within her body...

In the days that followed, Li Moxuan also taught her diligently. Yue Xiling's guardian spirit was not strong, which basically locked down her own potential.

To continue improving, she needs to rely on external forces, such as her brain. Although she is usually a bit slow, she occasionally has moments of brilliance.

Although both the Great Thousand God Realm and the Underworld are worlds where the strong prey on the weak, the Underworld at least has an official organization like the Spirit Realm, while the Great Thousand God Realm does not, making it even more chaotic.

In the areas under the jurisdiction of Tangmen, Huanmengtian, Mingfu, and the Holy Covenant Church, at least there is still humanity and the situation is still controllable. In the areas beyond their jurisdiction, darkness reigns supreme.

So, apart from the art of ruling the world, Li Moxuan basically taught Yue Xiling everything he had learned over the years. As for whether she understood it or not, Li Moxuan didn't know.

Since both of them used swords, after some instruction, Li Moxuan discovered that Yue Xiling was quite talented in swordsmanship.

The reason we couldn't tell before was because no one taught her. Her guardian deity, Chang'e, was a sorcerer, but she chose not to follow the right path.

Unlike Xia Ling, who studied formation techniques, he instead learned swordsmanship and melee combat, treating mages like warriors...

Yue Xiling was self-taught in swordsmanship before, but after being taught by Li Moxuan, she developed many new moves and even learned to control her sword, which is the most outrageous thing.

It's a pity. If her guardian deity were the Sword God, she might have become the next king of coolness!

Nearly five years passed, and with only one month left before Li Moxuan's departure, he received a message from Wang Renqing, the Lord of the Underworld.

Wang Renqing wanted to invite him to the underworld for a meeting. After several years of deliberation, they agreed, but Li Moxuan needed to speak with him in person.

Li Moxuan did not refuse. This time he planned to take Yue Xiling with him. If possible, he wanted to make the Underworld her future safe haven.
