Chapter 230: The 5th Generation - Royal Family's Ancestor, The Battle of Nirvana!
Great Yue Country.
In the resplendent palace, all civil and military officials were gathered.
However, all the civil servants and military generals were trembling on the ground, not daring to breathe heavily.
A middle-aged man dressed in a Dragon Robe had an extremely dark expression, as if water could drip from it.
This man was precisely the Sovereign of Great Yue Country.
Li Yue!
His sharp gaze was like that of an eagle, scanning the civil and military officials kneeling below in the palace, as if he could see through everyone's thoughts.
"Your Majesty, Xuanqing Sect recently sent a message ordering us to find the murderer within three days, otherwise..."
A minister's voice trembled, breaking the dead silence of the hall.
He didn't finish his sentence, but all the senior ministers present understood the seriousness of the matter.
Xuanqing Sect is the most powerful cultivation sect within thousands of miles, with numerous experts and even a Fifth Realm cultivator stationed there.
Their power is so great that they can control the fate of a dynasty with a single word.
And Great Yue Country is merely an insignificant subordinate state within the sphere of Xuanqing Sect's influence.
This matter is of utmost importance, and if not handled properly, not only would they be unable to escape blame, but the entire Great Yue Country might face an existential crisis!
"Your Majesty, according to the information I have gathered, Lin Hao and his group have likely entered the Taiyue Mountain Range."
"He possesses the Power of the Shackles Realm, and his old servant from the Lin Family is guarding him, which means that the person who killed Lin Hao is at least a Carefree Realm expert."
A senior minister analyzed meticulously.
"Then please have the Ancestor personally take a trip to ensure the murderer is found as quickly as possible!"
"Your Majesty, as for Princess Mingyan..."
A minister hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.
Although Liu Mingyan was of low birth, she didn't qualify to inherit the royal name.
But no matter what, she was ultimately a princess of Great Yue Country.
If dealt with according to the Royal Family's law, she might at least have a quick and painless end.
But if she falls into the hands of the infuriated Lin Family and Xuanqing Sect.
It's feared that Liu Mingyan's fate would be worse than death.
"Strip her of her royal status, and once found, hand her over to Xuanqing Sect for punishment!"
Li Yue said coldly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
Blood is colder than power.
And Liu Mingyan's lowly status was merely the offspring of a Half-Demon.
Originally, he planned to use her as a pawn to cement relations with Xuanqing Sect.
But who could have anticipated that Liu Mingyan, this wretch, would cause such a huge trouble.
Even if it means hacking her to pieces, it wouldn't dissipate the hatred in his heart.
Not long after.
From the depths of the Great Yue Royal Family, a blood-red rainbow shot into the sky.
Full of murderous intent, heading straight towards the Taiyue Mountain Range!
...
Near the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects.
Inside a simple cave dwelling opened with a casual stroke.
Lu Yuan was sitting cross-legged, in a state of cultivation.
Although in this life he didn't have the Heaven-defying Comprehension's talent blessing, and his cultivation speed was not as terrifying as before.
But the path of cultivation is like sailing against the current, not advancing means falling back.
Even with his talent of "Many Children, Many Blessings," Lu Yuan dared not be negligent.
In the neighboring room.
Liu Mingyan, with tightly knitted brows and a pale face, was lying on a stone bed, constantly in a state of unconsciousness.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and with a soft murmur, she slowly opened her beautiful eyes and finally awoke.
"Where is this?"
Liu Mingyan managed to support her weak body, cautiously observing the surrounding environment.
She found herself in an unfamiliar stone house.
The entire stone house seemed to have been forcibly carved out of the mountain interior by sheer force.
There were no tables or chairs inside the room, only a rough stone bed and an oil lamp for illumination.
"Wasn't I poisoned and passed out? How did I end up here?"
Recalling the pain of being tormented by the Highly Poisonous toxins, a trace of fear flashed in Liu Mingyan's beautiful eyes.
However, she was surprised to discover at this moment.
Not only was she unharmed, but all her injuries had been healed.
And somehow, she had stepped into the Shackles Realm.
Not only that.
In Liu Mingyan's perception, it seemed there was a terrifying power that could destroy the world hidden within her body.
Making her feel an unprecedented sense of power!
"You're awake?"
Hearing the commotion, Lu Yuan finished his cultivation and walked over from the next room.
Looking at the medicinal soup placed by the bedside and Lu Yuan's slightly weary expression, with her wisdom and intelligence, how could Liu Mingyan not understand what had happened?
Immediately, she supported her body and bowed in gratitude.
"Young girl Liu Mingyan, thanks the senior for the life-saving grace!"
Lu Yuan nodded.
Liu Mingyan understood gratitude and clearly had a good character.
It was not in vain that he paid such a hefty price to save her.
"By the way, senior, what about Lin Hao and those people..."
Liu Mingyan seemed to remember something and asked urgently.
Lin Hao was narrow-minded and vengeful, and would not easily let go.
And judging by Lu Yuan's living environment, he was just a loose cultivator from the wild, how could he provoke the powerful Lin Family and Xuanqing Sect?
If because of her, Lu Yuan got involved in this matter, she would certainly feel very guilty.
"They are already dead."
Lu Yuan replied nonchalantly.
"It's over..."
Hearing this, Liu Mingyan was struck as if by lightning, not regaining her senses for a long time.
She wasn't afraid of offending the Xuanqing Sect or the Lin Family, but solely worried about implicating innocent people.
"Senior, you'd better leave here quickly, that Lin Hao came from Xuanqing Sect, his background is very deep, killing him will surely bring disaster."
"This matter originated from me, and all consequences should be borne by me alone."
"The life-saving grace of the senior, this young girl has nothing to repay in this life, can only repay in the next."
