Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

The demon roared furiously, and then a powerful burst of demonic energy suddenly erupted from his body.

Ling Yun frowned subconsciously.

"Oh no, he's trying to self-destruct."

Mo Yu exclaimed in shock.

The next second, Ling Yun waved his hand, and several barriers isolated the demon.

"No!"

The demons realized this too, but it was too late.

boom!

With his unwilling voice, a loud bang erupted, and the demon was instantly reduced to ashes.

If Ling Yun hadn't arrived in time, given the demons' cultivation level, the area within a hundred miles of the palace would likely have been destroyed.

"He got off easy."

Seeing the thick smoke rising from the barrier, Long Xiu spoke.

"Alright, now that your problem is solved, what are you planning to do next?"

Ling Yun asked.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiu subconsciously fell silent, and after a moment looked up at Ling Yun and said:

"Although that man deserved to die, the people of Xuanwu Kingdom are innocent. If the country is without a ruler, I'm afraid..."

At the end, Long Xiu stopped, but everyone understood what he meant.

"What? You little brat, do you want to be the emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom?"

Mo Yu looked at Long Xiu and said in a teasing tone.

Long Xiu quickly shook his head and looked seriously at his master, saying:

"No, I never thought about becoming an emperor. I just want to follow my master and cultivate properly."

"So who do you want to be the emperor?"

Long Xiu looked directly at his third elder sister, who was startled.

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that? Do you perhaps want your third sister to become the emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom?"

"Yes."

Long Xiu nodded.

Long Xiaoxiao was speechless upon hearing this, and even Consort Shu was somewhat surprised by Long Xiu's idea.

“Brother, I am a woman.”

"So what if she's a woman? If anyone objects, I'll handle it."

Long Xiaoxiao's lips twitched involuntarily. Why did her imperial brother seem to have become a bit like a bandit? She remembered that her imperial brother was a very well-behaved person.

Is it possible...

He subconsciously looked at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun felt Long Xiaoxiao's scrutiny but didn't understand why she was being looked at, so she didn't ask.

Looking at Long Xiu's determined eyes, Long Xiaoxiao knew that her younger brother was not joking, and sighed helplessly:

“Brother, even if no one objects, I don’t care about this throne.”

All she wants to do now is cultivate diligently and improve her cultivation level.

If she were to truly become the ruler of a country, she would have very little time to cultivate.

This is not what she wanted.

Moreover, she didn't want to stay in this palace.

----------

"Sister, are you really sure? Are you really unwilling to come with me to the Ling family in the Azure Dragon Kingdom?"

Long Xiaoxiao shook her head and said:

"Xiao Xiu, I have my own path to walk. From now on, you will protect your mother."

As she spoke, Long Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Ying, who was also known as Consort Shu.

"Mother, I'm sorry, I..."

“Silly child, you don’t need to apologize to me. Everyone has their own path. Since you’ve chosen your path, then go ahead. Don’t worry about your mother.”

......

After saying goodbye, Long Xiaoxiao embarked on her cultivation journey alone.

As for the Xuanwu Kingdom...

"Third Brother, aren't you planning to stay either?"

Long Rui, also known as the tenth prince of Xuanwu Kingdom, was born to a palace maid who served Consort Shu. After giving birth to him, he was killed by the empress and was subsequently raised by Consort Shu.

Later, he became a disciple and left the palace.

Now that Long Xiu has found him, he has been allowed to succeed him as the emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom.

"From now on, I'm entrusting the Xuanwu Kingdom to you. If you need me, just write to the Ling family in the Qinglong Kingdom. Alright, I'm leaving now. Take care."

Long Xiu looked at his master, who had been waiting for him on the other side, and said to Long Rui before leaving with his mother.

Only after watching Long Xiu and his group completely disappear did Long Rui lead his men back to the palace.

The Xuanwu Kingdom has a lot of things to deal with right now.

As for the ministers' objections?

Ha ha!

Thinking back to when those ministers opposed the previous emperor after he died, they were taken away by the patriarch of the Ling family. When they returned, they all demanded that he become emperor in a panic, refusing to give up until he did. It's still a bit funny to think about it now.

However, what he was most curious about was what the patriarch of the Ling family had done to those ministers? How did he manage to get them to agree in such a short time?

Long Rui returned to the palace with a heart full of doubts and began to deal with the many affairs of Xuanwu Kingdom.

----------

Ling Yun and his companions traveled to the Azure Dragon Kingdom without delay.

Suddenly, I heard cries for help coming from not far away.

Ling Yun had no intention of investigating further, but someone else took action first.

Upon hearing the cry for help, Mo Yu moved swiftly and vanished from the spot.

Ling Yun and Long Xiu were both curious about Mo Yu's behavior.

It should be noted that although Mo Yu enjoys watching a good show, he is definitely not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business.

"Master, should we go over and take a look?"

Long Xiu looked at Ling Yun and spoke.

Ling Yun nodded, and Xiao Peng followed in the direction Mo Yu was heading.

A group of people were seen attacking a carriage. The people inside the carriage were fighting desperately, but they were clearly at a disadvantage.

Without saying a word, Mo Yu leaped into the battle and quickly routed the bandits.

"Uncle Moyu!"

A girl rushed up to Mo Yu, looking quite surprised.

......

When Ling Yun arrived, he saw Mo Yu holding a little girl, with a beautiful woman beside him. The scene looked just like a family of three, making Ling Yun reluctant to go forward and disturb them.

"Uncle Master?"

Long Xiu shouted without any sense of propriety, and the others immediately looked at them.

The moment Mo Yu saw Ling Yun, she instinctively shuddered, feeling as if she had been caught in the act of adultery.

bah bah bah!

Why are you catching him cheating? Does he even have a woman?

"Ahem... Sister, you're here. Let me introduce you. This is Meiniang, the wife of a good friend of mine, and this is her daughter, Niu Niu."

Mo Yu quickly explained, otherwise he didn't know what Ling Yun would think.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that Mo Yu actually had a friend here.

Suddenly, she became interested in Mo Yu's friend.

But I didn't ask immediately.

Finally, they told them that they were going to the Azure Dragon Kingdom to visit relatives.

As a result, they were chased and attacked midway.

Subsequently, the journey that originally consisted of three people was joined by two more.

Because of Wu Zetian and her daughter, they deliberately slowed down their pace along the way.

As darkness fell, Ling Yun unexpectedly became considerate and suggested that they find an inn to rest for the night before continuing their journey.

Upon entering the inn, Lingyun and Moyu keenly sensed that something was amiss.

The guests in the inn had shifty eyes and behaved strangely.

Mo Yu secretly reminded Mei Niang to be careful, while he himself remained vigilant at all times.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, a group of men in black suddenly broke into the inn and headed for Meiniang's room.
