She became a god

Although Ye Qingzhou spoke frankly, he was also filled with unease.

But for Wen Xichun's sake, she had to take the risk.

We can't just stand by and watch Wen Xichun die before he even gets started.

So Ye Qingzhou continued to spout nonsense.

"Canghai Pavilion boasts countless experts; with such strength, it would be reasonable for them to occupy a city. However, being born thousands of years later, their territory has already been completely divided up. It's pitiful that these three exceptionally talented envoys enjoy treatment far inferior to that of elders from second-rate sects. I cannot bear this, and thus intend to devise a plan for the three of them..."

"If you really want to make a plan, hand over the keys to the Lu family of Yingdu first."

After the Lu family of Yingdu was wiped out decades ago, it wasn't that no one had their eyes on Yingdu, this lucrative territory.

However, no one has been able to find the address of Yingdu since then. It is said that only those who possess the key can open the formation and find the real Yingdu.

Why is Yingdu so hard to find? Did it just vanish into thin air?

This brings us to the Lu family's divine ancestor. Unable to accept the fact that they, as divine children, were banished to the land, they went to great lengths to find Ying Mountain, a mountain range suspended in mid-air, and used endless essence and blood to forge this mountain range.

After that, Yingshan and the Lu family became one.

The Lu family was not content with just one mountain; with their immense power, they seized territory in various places.

The common law of the human realm states that a clan can only occupy one city, but the Lu clan forcibly seized a large circle of cities, claiming that they were all outside Yingdu.

It is estimated that these outer cities of Yingdu occupied almost one-sixth of the human realm's territory.

Furthermore, due to the small number of people in the Lu clan, during the Lu clan's most prosperous period, almost every member of the Lu clan had their own exclusive outer city during their lifetime.

The other sects and clans in the human realm were naturally dissatisfied with the Lu family's domineering ways, but they were no match for the Lu family.

The Lu family, possessing the bloodlines of two gods, is too powerful, and has basically held the title of ruler of the human realm for many years.

In order to consolidate their expanded territory, the powerful Lu family had cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage cast supreme illusion arrays in every outer city of Yingdu, and also commissioned an eighth-grade craftsman to forge keys for entering and exiting the outer city of Yingdu.

It can be said that whoever can devour the entire legacy of the Lu family of Yingdu will surely become the richest household in the Six Realms.

Upon hearing the mention of Xuanhe's maternal family, Ye Qingzhou remained completely calm. "Envoy Xiaofeng is joking. If I had the key, Yuantong would never have fallen into the hands of your Canghai Pavilion."

[If the Lu family's inheritance in Yingdu were so easy to obtain, my mother would have already become the number one clan in the demon realm by living off her husband, the Buddhist realm would have expanded rapidly, and I would definitely be the richest woman in the six realms by now. Why would I need to cultivate so diligently?]

[Those legendary, almost mythical, Lu family of Yingdu—if they were truly that powerful, why were they all wiped out overnight?]

If the Lu family of Yingdu truly possesses such a vast fortune, then it's not impossible for me to avenge my ancestors!

On the other side, Lianxiang also felt that Ye Qingzhou's words made some sense. She interrupted Xiaofeng's questioning, "Ye Qingzhou, how do you plan to help us?"

"Hehe, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The fate of the world depends on the hearts of the people. If a city under the jurisdiction of a clan has some major problems with its security, and Canghai Pavilion takes pity on the people and wants to overthrow the old master to seek the well-being of the people, isn't that reasonable?"

Lianxiang smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If what you say next is wrong, this flower will smash your head open."

Ye Qingzhou said aggrievedly, "The Holy Envoy is so fierce!"

"Oh?"

Seeing that Lianxiang was about to throw the flowers, Ye Qingzhou stopped trying to stall for time with his witty remarks. "Wen Xichun knows the filth of Pingcheng. Once she clarifies the truth about the Pingcheng Heavenly Fire, it will be a good time for Canghai Pavilion to make its move."

Xiyu gave a mocking smile, "In the end, you're just trying to get us to let Wen Xichun go."

Xiaofeng angrily said, "Wen Xichun should have died long ago. It's her good fortune that she didn't die seven years ago. I will never let her live again."

Lianxiang didn't speak, but she also didn't agree to Ye Qingzhou's suggestion.

Ye Qingzhou smiled bitterly, "I sent my dear friend to his death as the Holy Envoy, why did the Holy Envoy wrong me?"

"Wen Xichun will surely die a horrible death on this journey. Your Majesty, you only need to stand by and watch her suffer a gruesome end, and you can even divide up the territory of Pingcheng. Such a golden opportunity is not to be missed because of personal grudges."

"I understand. You mean that since Wen Xichun is going to die anyway, it would be better to let her die in Pingcheng, which would also bring some benefits to Canghai Pavilion, right?"

Ye Qingzhou praised, "As expected of the First Holy Envoy of Canghai Pavilion, the Holy Envoy Lianxiang is exceptionally intelligent. I admire her greatly."

Anyway, after Sister Chun used the Time Reversal Technique, her lifespan ended and she began her second life. She won't die a tragic death.

Since she's so determined to clarify, I must help her understand her last wish in this life.

Wen Xichun glanced at Ye Qingzhou discreetly. She stood on the cloud, smiling as she dealt with Canghai Pavilion and the others, radiating confidence and warmth, just like when they first met.

[Hehe, she suddenly left. Her passive-aggressive behavior made me feel like I had no will to live. She didn't want me to be sad, so she hurt me first.]

No, I wish you were heartbroken to death.

You lied to me, used me, and hurt me. How could I not want to hurt you?

[Waaaaah, I'm not sad at all! We're not without a next life, I bet Chun-jie will fall in love with me at first sight... oops... I mean, feel like we've known each other forever!]

Wen Xichun's expression darkened; she had actually forgotten about the afterlife. She hoped that Yuantong could stop her.

Wen Xichun thought that she was not very willing to see Ye Qingzhou again.

Lianxiang, however, was not one to be easily swayed by a few kind words. She smiled and said, "What you say makes some sense, but if we release Wenxichun, we won't gain any benefits from Pingcheng. What then?"

[Vocal, this woman is so smart! She even knew to ask for a deposit, I'm impressed, I need to learn from her!]

Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "Since the Holy Envoy has said this, I'm afraid you already have a decision in mind. Please speak frankly. However, if it is something the Holy Envoy wants, I cannot provide it. I hope we can discuss it further."

"I want you to owe me three things."

Xiaofeng exclaimed in surprise, "Big sister, you haven't mistaken me for someone else, have you?"

Ye Qingzhou stammered, "Holy Envoy Lianxiang... I am but a mere Golden Core cultivator... I cannot help you... You... You should change your terms!"

Unexpectedly, Lianxiang was adamant, "I only want your three promises."

Ye Qingzhou scratched his head. "Huh? What if you ask me to kill my mother and destroy my master? Then I'd be a terrible sinner. Why don't you ask me to say something else?"

Lianxiang's lips twitched. How could Ye Qingzhou be even more ruthless than her? He could even think of something as simple as killing one's mother and destroying one's master.

"The three promises I require do not involve killing any living beings."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou's expression relaxed slightly, but he still hesitated.

Lianxiang threw the flower in her hand, and Wen Xichun groaned. The flower had left a terrible wound on Wen Xichun's left arm.

"Next time it's tesuji."

Ye Qingzhou said, "I promise you, I will release her. She is a sword cultivator and cannot be without a healthy hand."
