I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

"This is a real dragon."

Others assumed that the dragon was under the control of the Jiang family and had no choice but to act as Shen Ming's protector.

After all, dragons are notoriously unruly.

As a result, the Black Dragon's unwavering obedience left them bewildered. Li Miaozhen felt that even the Buddhist sect couldn't achieve this level of compliance.

"Miss Li, it's been a long time."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Miaozhen smiled and said, "Your growth rate is truly unbelievable; many top-tier geniuses are not as good as you."

Li Miaozhen recounted her experience leaving the Xuantian Sect. Unable to return to the Western Regions, she wandered in the Northern Regions, preparing to break through the Wind and Fire Tribulation and ascend to the Heavenly Supreme realm.

He met Fang Lingyun of Yunshui City by chance, and the two hit it off immediately and became sworn brothers.

Little did they know, this was all arranged by the Great Destiny Technique of Little Western Paradise.

Because of the great changes in the Northern Region and the revival of spiritual energy, Little Western Heaven wanted to build a temple to collect incense offerings.

"Young Master Jiang, please save my daughter's life." Hearing this, Fang Qixiu mustered his courage and stepped forward, placing all his hopes on Shen Ming.

Shen Ming was taken aback. He subconsciously thought of asking the Jiang family to send a doctor, but then he heard Li Miaozhen say that he could save him.

"You can chant sutras for it to draw out the Lotus of Wrath," Li Miaozhen said.

"Miaozhen, didn't you say that reciting scriptures would sow the seeds of karma and make one wholeheartedly turn to Buddhism?" Fang Lingyun asked, puzzled.

"Don't worry, he won't be affected."

Li Miaozhen patted Shen Ming's arm. She had witnessed Shen Ming's prowess before. Whether it was converting, influencing, or using various scriptures, he was completely unmoved.

However, her expression changed, and under the puzzled gazes of the Fang father and daughter, she pulled Fang Lingyun aside and whispered something to her.

Fang Lingyun hadn't even heard a few words before his face turned red and he became shy and awkward.

Seeing this, Shen Ming transmitted his voice and said, "Going all mysterious, are you going to use some clichéd dual cultivation method to detoxify? Sure enough, the Daoist sect is all unorthodox."

"You think beautifully."

Li Miaozhen rolled her eyes at him; this was a topic only the two of them could understand.

"The Lotus of Wrath is planted on Lingyun's chest. The fire pattern resembles a blooming lotus. While you are reciting the scriptures, you must guide the rage correctly. You need to open the Eye of Insight," Li Miaozhen said.

Shen Ming suddenly realized why Miss Fang was so shy.

Why do you say I can pretend I didn't see it?

"How can that be done?"

Shen Ming was speechless. Because of this incident, the atmosphere became awkward when he and Fang Lingyun entered the room.

“Martial artists don’t care about trivial matters, especially now that our lives are at stake. Divine Child, you don’t need to worry about it,” Fang Lingyun said.

“There’s no need to call me Divine Child. If you hadn’t risked your life to send this message, I wouldn’t have known about this,” Shen Ming said.

Immediately afterwards, following the scriptures taught to him by Li Miaozhen, Shen Ming recited them again and again. Soon, he heard Fang Lingyun let out a delicate cry, and the lotus flames in her chest were burning with anger.

Shen Ming activated his Eye of Truth and locked onto the fire pattern.

Fang Lingyun felt the sharp gaze and, remembering what Li Miaozhen had told her, her skin flushed.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Ming stretched out a finger, as if pulling on an invisible line, and pulled hard.

Fang Lingyun's body trembled slightly, accompanied by a continuous flow of anger from his body, which gathered at Shen Ming's fingertips.

Throughout the process, it continuously emitted soft moaning sounds.

Fang Qixiu, who was waiting, suppressed the urge to break down the door and asked Li Miaozhen with his eyes, "Is this really a rescue?"

"If we don't save people, are we just creating more?" Li Miaozhen remained calm, but felt helpless inside.

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Ming absorbed all his anger and extinguished it with a flick of his wrist.

Fang Lingyun's complexion became rosy, and he looked radiant.

Shen Ming blinked, and the golden light in his pupils disappeared.

"The Divine Child is indeed a virtuous gentleman. If that's really the case, it's not necessarily true who will suffer a loss. Miao Zhen is truly blessed."

Fang Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed.

When the two left the room, Fang Qixiu saw that his daughter was safe and sound, and the melancholy on his face vanished.

Li Miaozhen told the father and daughter that Buddhism values ​​cause and effect, and although the Buddhist disciples were wiped out in Yunshui City, they would not hold a grudge against them.

"It's alright! The Buddhist sect is so aggressive. It's a blessing for my Yunshui City to be able to fight alongside the Divine Child!"

Fang Qixiu, however, wanted to seize the opportunity to curry favor with the Jiang family.

Not all second-tier powers are subservient to first-tier powers. Yunshui City is in a remote corner of the world, and he is happy to live a carefree life.

Judging from Shen Ming's performance alone, his future achievements are immeasurable.

He, as a father, naturally wanted to seize the opportunity his daughter had fought for.

“Alright, you can come to my Jiang family if anything happens,” Shen Ming said.

Fang Qixiu was waiting for these words. With the opportunity presented by the Divine Child, he could build a good relationship with the Jiang family.

Shen Ming asked Li Miaozhen about the next steps, specifically what he, as the Daoist, should do.

“You don’t have to do anything. No, I mean Little Western Paradise will keep you busy. As long as you cultivate diligently and reach the Dominator Realm or above, everything will be resolved,” Li Miaozhen said.

With Shen Ming's terrifying cultivation speed, as long as he doesn't die, he will definitely reach the level of overwhelming Xiao Xitian.

"So what are you going to do next? Are you coming back to the Jiang family with me?" Shen Ming asked.

“If I go back to the Jiang family with you, aren’t you afraid your fiancée will cause you trouble?” Li Miaozhen said.

"...I'm talking about your future plans. I can't expect you to wander the world like a madman," Shen Ming said with a hint of helplessness.

"My original plan was to go to Baidi City, which is where the fortune of the Northern Region lies, to find an opportunity to break through the Wind and Fire Tribulation."

"Baidi City".

Shen Ming was also going, and just then, he received a message from the Jiang family.

His Thunder Sword Mark is showing promise.

Wang Min, the eldest disciple of the Sword Forging Manor, embezzled the Thunder Sword Seal and fled to Baidi City!

……

On the majestic white walls of Baidi City, a young man in black flew on his sword and landed on the city wall.

Behind him were several sword cultivators in pursuit.

Both sides landed on the city wall, ready to clash at any moment.

"Action is forbidden in Baidi City!"

The soldiers of Baidi City shouted angrily and rushed forward to stop them.

"Go back. Now that I'm in Baidi City, everything is settled," the young man in black said smugly.

He is Wang Min, the eldest disciple of the Sword Casting Manor.

"Senior Brother Wang Min! You stole the Thunder Sword Seal, how are we going to explain this to the Jiang family!?"

Among the pursuing disciples of the Sword Forging Manor, a young woman questioned him sharply.

Gao Qian, the eldest daughter of the Sword Casting Manor.

"The Thunder Sword Seal, such a sacred artifact for sword cultivators, why should it be left for the Jiang family to take? Besides, the Jiang family's divine son is focused on sword cultivation. As one of the top ten sword cultivators in the Northern Region, as long as I refine it and reach the Earth Sword realm, I can join the Black and White Academy!"

Wang Min's words were entirely for his own benefit.

"Then how is my Sword Forging Manor supposed to face the Jiang family's wrath?" Gao Qian was almost crying with anger. She had only known that her senior brother was self-centered before, but she never expected him to be so selfish.

Wang Min thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I will avenge you!"
