grunt.
Lu Yuguan swallowed.
Having come this far, he finally has a glimpse into the world.
Although the connection between the two worlds is still unclear, at least he has a clear goal.
"You brat, it's time to go back," said Xuan Yu Taizu.
Lu Yuguan nodded with a smile.
After being so busy for so long, I can finally go back and rest.
"Where are we going?" Jiang Cong frowned. "Guan'er, you can't abandon me!"
Lu Yuguan rolled his eyes: "Ancestor Jiang, even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to leave you behind."
Jiang Cong, beaming with pride, raised an eyebrow at Emperor Xuanyu.
Xuanyu Taizu: "..."
"By the way, you're a Red Demon now, is it alright for you to leave the Demon Realm?" Lu Yuguan asked curiously.
"We can just use our demonic energy and be done with it," Jiang Cong said nonchalantly. "Anyway, we can sweep across the entire wasteland with just our physical body."
"Hmph! What nonsense!"
Xuan Yu Taizu coldly said, "In the Immortal Realm, there are many people with strong physical bodies. Someone like you is not even worth mentioning."
"Anyway, I'm better than you."
"you!"
Lu Yuguan held his forehead with his hand.
Why do they always get along?
"Once I get to the Immortal Realm, I'll be much more powerful than I am now!" Jiang Cong muttered.
"Going to the fairyland?"
Xuan Yu Taizu seemed to be laughing at him, saying, "Demon cultivators cannot ascend to the Immortal Realm. Whether they are good or evil, Heaven will judge them."
"So what?" Jiang Cong retorted. "Existence is its own justification. There are countless paths to enlightenment. Can you guarantee that the demonic path cannot ascend?"
"dare."
"Ancestor Xuanyu said calmly."
Jiang Cong remained silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and poked at his own meridians.
Seeing this, Lu Yuguan quickly stopped him, "Are you crazy? Why would you suddenly start hitting yourself?"
"Isn't it said that one can become a Buddha on the spot by laying down the butcher's knife?"
"I'll try to abolish my cultivation to see if I can ascend to immortality."
"..."
Lu Yuguan understood.
Jiang Cong is a stubborn person.
"When we return to Longhua Kingdom, don't say anything carelessly, and you can't even move!" Lu Yuguan solemnly instructed.
"Why?"
"I'm afraid you'll do something foolish."
Jiang Cong pouted, unwillingly saying, "Fine, you're a native, so you get to decide."
……
Longhua Kingdom.
royal palace.
"Prime Minister, something terrible has happened!"
The eunuch rushed in anxiously, "There are demonic cultivators outside the city, and General Chen is leading his troops there!"
Fu Xiangqing's heart stopped, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"What is their cultivation level?"
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, it seems... it's not just the Golden Core stage..."
"what!"
Fu Xiangqing's vision went black, and the vermilion pen in his hand fell onto the memorial with a "thud".
He was already exhausted from working hard for days, and his energy and blood were depleted.
Upon hearing the words "demonic cultivator," the taut string in my mind almost snapped.
Demon cultivator...
Demonic cultivators have appeared in Kyoto?
Even demonic cultivators far surpassing the Golden Core stage!?
If this news gets out, the people of Kyoto will surely be in a state of panic!
He mustered his strength, grabbed the table for support, his inner shirt soaked with cold sweat.
The position of prime minister was not secure.
Walking on thin ice.
Who in the entire court doesn't know this?
He, Fu Xiangqing, was nothing more than a puppet that the emperor casually placed on his heels.
Driven by his unrealistic dream of becoming an immortal, Li Ping destroyed the royal forbidden area and fled to another realm.
And the entire vast operation of Longhua Kingdom was handed over to him.
The crown prince chose this time to go into seclusion and refuse to see anyone from outside.
The Ninth Prince is even more elusive, living deep in seclusion in the forest, and his attitude is ambiguous.
The immense burden weighed him down, making it hard for him to breathe.
Fu Xiangqing felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally, and wished he could find a place to hide away.
Just as he was feeling dizzy, he heard hurried footsteps outside the hall.
A young eunuch scrambled in, his face showing a mixture of shock and delight.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister!"
"Great joy!"
Fu Xiangqing pressed his throbbing temple, his voice hoarse: "What's the matter that you're so panicked?"
"The demonic cultivators who appeared outside the city have been... subdued!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiangqing's spirits lifted, and a bright light shone in his cloudy eyes.
The demonic cultivator has been subdued?
Very good!
The capital has been saved!
The first thing that came to his mind was the Dragon Guard, which was in charge of the defense of Kyoto.
"But General Chen Zizai made his move?"
His tone was expectant.
Chen Xian's uncle is highly skilled in cultivation; with him around, the capital can be at peace.
But the little eunuch shook his head.
"Your Excellency, it's not General Chen, it's the third young master of the Bai family!"
"He captured the demonic cultivator himself!"
Fu Xiangqing trembled violently.
His hand, which was gripping the table, began to tremble uncontrollably.
The three sons of the Bai family?
Is Lu Yuguan back?
The once-famous third young master of the Bai family in Kyoto, a rising alchemist in the Eastern Xuan Continent, and a prodigy of the Xuan Yu Sect... has actually returned?
And he made a great contribution as soon as he returned?
Where is he now?
Fu Xiangqing's voice trembled slightly, and he could barely speak coherently.
"Young Master Lu is leading the captured demonic cultivator towards the palace!"
Without further hesitation, Fu Xiangqing straightened his slightly disheveled official robe.
"quick!"
"Follow me out of the palace to greet them!"

at the same time.
On the long street of Kyoto.
The group was walking at a leisurely pace, attracting the attention and whispers of passersby.
The leader was handsome and had a gentle demeanor; he was none other than Lu Yuguan.
Beside him stood a tall man with striking, fiery red hair.
The man was handsome, yet possessed an inexplicable, sinister charm. "Look, who are those people?"
"Could they be merchants from a foreign land? But I didn't see them carrying any goods."
"Look at that red-haired guy at the front...it looks like..."
"Demonic cultivator!"
Jiang Cong felt extremely uncomfortable under the gazes of those around him.
He scratched his red hair, leaned closer to Lu Yuguan, and lowered his voice: "Guan'er, why are they staring at me like that?"
"I know I'm pretty handsome, but is it really that exaggerated?"
Lu Yuguan glanced at him.
"You think it's because he's handsome?"
"if not?"
Jiang Cong spoke with righteous indignation.
Lu Yuguan was speechless: "Red hair is already eye-catching in Longhua, and on top of that, you have an aura that you can't hide."
"In the eyes of low-level cultivators, you are a standard demonic cultivator."
Jiang Cong choked.
That seems to be the case.
"Don't blame me, I didn't level up this account..."
A man and a woman followed behind them.
The man was dressed casually and had a blade of grass in his mouth.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, with a dashing and spirited air about her.
It was Xuan Yu and Jin Luan.
The two founding emperors concealed their auras; otherwise, simply standing there would have been enough to make everyone on the street kneel down.
At the back of the column were many Dragon Guards, each one looking as if facing a formidable enemy.
"General..."
"Is it really okay to let them into the city?"
A lowly soldier couldn't help but ask.
Chen Zizai, his face grim, retorted, "With a pill master vouching for us, what is there to worry about?"
"Didn't you see how obedient that demonic cultivator was to Alchemist Lu? Maybe he's his pet!"
"Besides, even if we were to capture them, given the strength of that demonic cultivator, the Dragon Guard would be lucky if even 20% of them survived!"
The soldier was terrified upon hearing this.
