Even Dongya Changlie's position within the royal court is now precarious, with many members of the Eternal Royal Family calling for a new leader to be chosen.

He couldn't control the situation anymore.

The "Hua Tian Royal Family" in particular has been extremely aggressive.

Therefore, over the years, Dongya Changlie has been quite depressed, and he has tried every means to restore the strength of the Dongya clan.

"Father, why did you come in person?"

Upon seeing this, Dongya Xiaoxiao ran over.

"If I hadn't come, I'm afraid you would have turned the world upside down."

Dongya Changlie glanced coldly at his daughter, then turned his gaze to Li Lan and said, "So you are the Purification Master, Wu Heng?"

Li Lan said calmly, "It is indeed this junior."

"Okay, come with me."

Dongya Changlie didn't say much and turned to leave.

Li Lan immediately followed.

The Great Dao, formed from divine light, began to operate, and before long, the group entered a magnificent hall.

"Young Master Wu Heng, may I ask where you come from?"

Dongya Changlie spoke calmly.

At the same time, a mysterious power began to slowly circulate within the main hall, and Li Lan immediately felt an inexplicable pressure.

It's as if telling just one lie will lead to utter destruction!

The formation here cannot be faked.

Li Lan remained calm and immediately recited the prepared remarks one by one.

He had long been able to sever all causal ties, and the formations here could not harm him. His every word and action, even his very existence, could be rendered "non-existent".

Is there a superior realm?

These four words really surprised Dongya Changlie.

Moreover, the formation did not react, which was enough to prove that Li Lan was not lying after all...

Does such a place truly exist in this world? A cemetery filled with the tombs of ancient powerful beings, scattered with gravestones, where once one leaves, there is no return…

The history of the Eternal True Realm is too long. At most, it can be traced back to the most ancient era of demons and monsters. In the long river of time before the appearance of ancestral gods such as Pangu and Nuwa, were there any other powerful beings? Did any other powerful civilizations emerge?

Nobody knows.

Therefore, they cannot disprove what Li Lan said.

But since the formation is quiet, it means that what Li Lan said is true.

"It seems that young friend also has a past and history that are unknown to others..."

He couldn't help but become a little more serious.

This explains why Li Lan possesses such extraordinary qualities.

"Young master, you saved my daughter. Is there anything you need? Just speak up, and the Dongya clan will do its best to meet your needs."

He remained calm.

However, there was a faint hint of estrangement in his words!

That means, let's keep things separate and just repay Li Lan's life-saving grace, that's all.

Before Li Lan could speak, Dongya Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "Dad, how can you let someone make demands?"

"Wu Heng possesses the purified Celestial Master bloodline, and the most powerful one at that. From today onward, he is a member of our Dongya clan. Hmm, how about this: let him serve as the Supreme Protector and go to our clan's Celestial Master Palace to cultivate. There are ample scriptures and resources there."

She directly overstepped her bounds and demanded things on Li Lan's behalf.

Upon hearing her words, Li Lan was momentarily stunned.

Supreme Protector?

Dongya Xiaoxiao really dares to bring that up...

The term "Supreme Protector" refers to someone from another family who is powerful enough to be appointed as a protector, holding an extremely high position.

To become the Supreme Protector of the Eternal Royal Family... one must be an Immortal King.

At the same time, he also noticed that Dongya Changlie's brows were furrowed even deeper, and there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

He suddenly realized why Dongya Changlie had a faint air of rejection about him...

—Am I being mistaken for a "yellow-haired guy"?

Which parent would be happy to see their daughter being kidnapped by a blond-haired man?

It seems that after Dongya Xiaoxiao's behavior was reported to the clan, Li Lan has already made many people in the Dongya clan dislike her.

Upon realizing this, Li Lan couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. However, I promised my wife that I would return to her after I have achieved success in my cultivation. If I join the Dongya Clan, I'm afraid I won't be able to come and go as I please..."

Upon hearing this, Dongya Changlie's expression immediately changed, and he said, "Young Master already has a wife?"

Li Lan nodded and said, "She is also in the Realm of Victory, but I can no longer go back now."

In reality, he was just using this to show Dongya Changlie that he had no interest in Dongya Xiaoxiao.

In fact, Dongya Xiaoxiao is a first-rate princess in the entire Eternal True Realm. If she were to show such closeness to anyone, that person would probably be overjoyed.

But in Li Lan's eyes, Dongya Xiaoxiao was really no different from a blade of grass by the roadside.

It's only for temporary use.

In fact, the more noble Dongya Xiaoxiao's status, the stronger her aptitude, and the more extraordinary her cultivation, the deeper her sins appeared to Li Lan.

Because every resource of the Eternal Royal Family originates from the monopoly of power, and every piece of eternal matter comes from the deception of all living beings!

If the time comes, he will not hesitate to cut off the other's head and throw it in front of all the people.

Even though he has gained fame during this time among the Immortal Families and other powerful forces, and is now valued by the royal family, he will never forget who he is, where he came from, and where he is going.

Do not forget the original intention.

Dongya Changlie's brows relaxed, and he even seemed relieved. He then said:

"Then how about this, young friend, you will temporarily become a guest elder of our clan. In addition, all the inheritances of our clan regarding the Celestial Master will be open to you."

“Young friend, you can go to the Celestial Master Palace to cultivate. There are many purification celestial masters there, including many famous senior figures. It should be of some help to you.”

The previous aversion vanished instantly, and they even became more friendly towards Li Lan.

This made Li Lan want to laugh. The former ruler of the royal court, the patriarch of the dignified Eternal Royal Family, was also a doting father.

"it is good."

Li Lan agreed.

"Someone, take Young Master Wu Heng to the Celestial Master Palace."

Dongya Changlie waved his hand, and Dongya Lin immediately stepped forward, saying to Li Lan, "Young Master Wu Heng, please—"

Li Lan immediately followed him away.

After he left, Dongya Xiaoxiao remained rooted to the spot, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. She asked, "He... he already has a wife?"

Why didn't you tell me this along the way?

There seemed to be some unhappiness in his eyes.

Xiaoxiao,

At this moment, Dongya Changlie said calmly, "From today onwards, you should go into seclusion—"

"You actually went off on your own to investigate the Demon Gathering this time. Your heart has become wild!"

Upon hearing this, Dongya Xiaoxiao's big eyes showed a hint of grievance as she said:

“Father, I also want to do something for the family…”

"It's all that damned Li Lan's fault! He caused our Dongya clan to fall into decline, and even our father lost his position as the ruler of the royal court..."

A fierce hatred flashed in her eyes.

The decline of the Dongya royal family was blamed on Li Lan by the entire clan.

If it weren't for him, why would the Ancestral King need to invoke the will of Heaven with a single strike?

The Heavenly Decree's slash not only severed Li Lan's life, but also left a deep scar on the fate of the Dongya royal family!
