Lu Yuling Returns: The Truth (Part Two)

Does Ice Maiden have another identity besides being the personal disciple of the Asura Sect Master?

Luo Ba, the Asura Sect Master, has a wife who is said to be a Snow Lotus from Tianshan that has transformed into a human. Ice Maiden, who is from the same place as Luo Ba's wife, is also a Demon Cultivator. However, Ice Maiden's true form is an Ice Lotus.

But would the Great Qin Empire's Imperial Clan really harm Ice Maiden simply because she is Demon Cultivator?

"Regarding Ice Maiden's identity, do you know about a Large Sect in the Far North that obeys the orders of the Great Qin Imperial Family but not their commands?" Lu Yuling asked, noticing the blank look in Zhuge Xiang's eyes, her eyes filled with a hint of nostalgia.

"The Far North? Do you mean the Myriad Monster Kingdom?" Upon hearing Lu Yuling's words, Zhuge Xiang was slightly taken aback, as if a flash of inspiration had crossed his mind.

Although the Nine Great Sects of the Great Qin Empire are nominally controlled by the Imperial Clan family, the Myriad Monster Kingdom is obedient to the Great Qin Empire but not to its commands, effectively becoming another Small Kingdom within the Great Qin Empire. The reason for this lies in the special nature of the Myriad Monster Kingdom.

The power of the Myriad Monster Kingdom can be said to be the head of the Nine Great Sects. Although the Kunlun Sect is known as the head of the Nine Great Sects and a righteous sect, everyone knows that in terms of power, the Myriad Monster Kingdom is the strongest. However, the Myriad Monster Kingdom's power is mostly composed of Demon Cultivator, which makes it incompatible with the rest of the empire and even the common people. Therefore, it is located in the Far North the Great Qin Empire.

Although the area mentioned above still belonged to the Great Qin Empire, the Great Qin Empire's control over that area was extremely weak. As a result, the Myriad Monster Kingdom became a country within a country, as can be seen from the Myriad Monster Kingdom very name.

"You mean... Ice Maiden's identity, and her connection to the Myriad Monster Kingdom?" A flash of inspiration struck Zhuge Xiang, and he vaguely grasped the crux of the matter. He spoke to Ice Maiden.

"That's right." Lu Yuling nodded and said, "In terms of status, Ice Maiden is the Holy Maiden of the Myriad Monster Kingdom, and even the heir to the next Empress of the Myriad Monster Kingdom. Therefore, the Imperial Clan the Great Qin Empire will not allow Ice Maiden to exist."

"I see," Zhuge Xiang said, suddenly realizing the truth.

Ice Maiden is, on one hand, the heir to the Empress of the Myriad Monster Kingdom, and on the other hand, the personal disciple of the Asura Sect Master. She may even become the successor to the Asura Sect Master position. With such a status, how could the Great Qin Imperial Family not be wary?

First of all, the Myriad Monster Kingdom is a kingdom within a kingdom. Although it is located within the territory of the Great Qin Empire, it is dominated by Demon Cultivator, and has become a huge parasite on the Great Qin Empire.

The Asura Sect was deeply feared by the Imperial Clan of the Great Qin Empire, which led to them weakening it both openly and covertly.

Both the Asura Sect and the Myriad Monster Kingdom are objects of fear for the Imperial Clan. Therefore, if these two forces were to join forces, they would pose an immeasurable threat to the Imperial Clan.

"I never expected you to be the future Empress of the Myriad Monster Kingdom! Then I'd better cling to your coattails!" After a moment of realization, Zhuge Xiang stared at Lu Yuling with shining eyes, looking utterly shameless.

"Empress?" However, upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, Lu Yuling smiled and shook her head, saying, "My lifelong wish is to improve my cultivation, stand at the top of this world, and look down on everything. As for the position of Empress, or the successor of the Asura Sect Master? I have never thought about it. In my opinion, although being in a high position would allow me to obtain more resources, it would inevitably affect my cultivation progress, which would be a loss."

"That makes sense," Zhuge Xiang said after a moment's thought. He nodded in agreement, surprised that Lu Yuling could grasp the concept to such a level and even disregard power and status.

"However, although power is an external thing, if there is a grudge, it should be avenged. Otherwise, one's mind will be unsettled, and how can one reach the peak?" Zhuge Xiang said to Lu Yuling, changing the subject.

Back then, Ice Maiden was pressured by the Imperial Clan of the Great Qin Empire, which caused her to Qi Deviation and be suppressed in the East Sea. How could she swallow this hatred? If she didn't take revenge, she would feel uneasy and have a knot in her heart.

"Revenge? Easier said than done." Zhuge Xiang's words made Lu Yuling's eyes show a hint of excitement, but then she shook her head helplessly.

"Although the Myriad Monster Kingdom and the Asura Sect are powerful, they are still not enough to contend with the entire Great Qin Empire. They are far from sufficient. Overthrowing the rule of a country is not such an easy thing."

"Indeed, overthrowing a country is extremely difficult, but it's not impossible. At least in my opinion, there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right now," Zhuge Xiang said, his eyes fixed intently on Lu Yuling.

"Oh? What kind of opportunity is there? Tell me," Lu Yuling asked, slightly taken aback by Zhuge Xiang's words.

Overthrowing a country is no easy task; without the right timing, Heavenly Timing and Favorable Terrain, and popular support, it's simply impossible. Yet Zhuge Xiang actually said there was a chance? This secretly surprised Lu Yuling.

Lu Yuling visited the Hundred Emperors Tomb before, but she knew nothing about the fate of the Great Tang National Fortune or her investigation in the Great Qin Empire. Therefore, Zhuge Xiang explained the whole story to Lu Yuling.

"If we can help the Great Tang Dynasty regain its National Fortune the Great Qin Empire decline, it is not impossible for us to raise the banner of righteousness again and even use the power of the Great Tang Dynasty to overthrow the current Ying Clan Dynasty," Zhuge Xiang said, his eyes shining with a Human Heart brilliance. His words were even more shocking to the core.

First, find Evidence to prove that the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty was replaced, overthrow the rule of the Great Tang Dynasty, and let the likes of King Fenghe ascend the Imperial Throne. Then, with the help of the Great Tang Dynasty, along with the Myriad Monster Kingdom and the Asura Sect, turn the guns on the Great Qin Empire and avenge the great grudge. Each of these events would be a major event that would shake the entire Heaven and Earth. And this is exactly what Zhuge Xiang is planning now.

A true man should accomplish something earth-shattering; otherwise, how can he have lived a Mortal World? Even Lu Yuling was deeply shocked by the plan Zhuge Xiang had described. Staring at Zhuge Xiang, she found it hard to believe that this seemingly unreliable fellow could have such a grand and awe-inspiring scheme.

Watching Zhuge Xiang, who exuded an air of commanding authority, Lu Yuling's gaze shifted slightly. What kind of man is most captivating?

Is it because he's handsome? Wrong! The most eye-catching men are those who accomplish great things with a serious expression, and Zhuge Xiang fits that description perfectly.

"Indeed, as you say, the possibility of me taking revenge is very high," Lu Yuling nodded in agreement after a moment's thought upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's plan.

If it were truly possible to bring about the National Fortune of the Great Qin Empire and obtain the assistance of the Great Tang Dynasty, it would not be impossible to overthrow the current Imperial Clan in one fell swoop.

"In that case, I hope we can join forces to investigate the Imperial Clan's affairs," Zhuge Xiang said after receiving Lu Yuling's approval. With Lu Yuling's help, his chances of success would be even greater.

"Of course. Since there's an opportunity, we should seize it. It's indeed time to make a move against the Great Qin Empire's Imperial Clan." Lu Yuling wholeheartedly agreed with Zhuge Xiang's plan. Now that Zhuge Xiang had invited her to join forces, how could Lu Yuling refuse?

"You've entered the Nascent Soul Stage, your cultivation is truly impressive, but I think there's a Cultivation Technique that's more suitable for you," Zhuge Xiang suddenly said to Lu Yuling, recalling the Heart Fighting Technique in the Hidden Technique Forest. He suggested she go to the Hidden Technique Forest to see the Heart Fighting Technique recorded on the stone tablet.

"The Heart Fighting Technique?" Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's suggestion, Lu Yuling was slightly taken aback. She shook her head at Zhuge Xiang in surprise and said, "It's useless. The Heart Fighting Technique is there, but no one has been able to grasp its essence for thousands of years. Even Ice Maiden studied it for two months back then and gained nothing."

"Those were those days, and now is now. Why don't you go and give it a try?" Zhuge Xiang said meaningfully after hearing Lu Yuling's refusal.

"Alright, I'll go give it a try." After giving Zhuge Xiang a deep look, Lu Yuling didn't say anything more, nodded, and turned to fly towards the direction of the Hidden Technique Forest.

Although Lu Yuling didn't believe she could truly comprehend the Heart Fighting Technique, seeing Zhuge Xiang's words, she knew he wouldn't speak without reason. She figured she might as well give it a try; after all, she wouldn't suffer any loss.

Lu Yuling has gone to search for the Heart Fighting Technique. If nothing unexpected happens, she'll surely gain something. As for herself?

Looking at his Character Interface, he realized that in terms of strength, he did indeed possess power comparable to Void Returning Stage expert, but his cultivation level was only at the Golden Core Stage Fourth Layer, which was somewhat insufficient. It seemed that he would have to work hard to break through to the Void Returning Stage.

How to quickly improve one's cultivation level? The answer is combat, specifically combat against opponents of the Major Realm is enormous. But where can one find enough Void Returning Stage experts to practice against?

After thinking for a moment, Zhuge Xiang laughed. He was truly begging for food while holding a golden bowl. The distant horizon was right before his eyes; wouldn't many powerful figures soon be suppressed in the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda?

Without hesitation, Zhuge Xiang found a secluded and deserted spot, took out the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda- Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda, and rushed directly to the Eighth Layer...

The Zombie King, the Asura King, Evil Ghost, and Demon Cultivator at the Void Returning Stage —dozens of powerful figures were suppressed within. Upon seeing Zhuge Xiang enter, their expressions shifted slightly from surprise to a mixture of awe and hatred...

The awe stems from the fact that Zhuge Xiang, as the master of the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda, can arbitrarily decide their freedom and hatred, and also from the fact that Zhuge Xiang is the master of the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda.

"Who are you?" However, the three powerful figures— Great Strength King, Cold Arrow King, and Hegemon Fist King— did not recognize Zhuge Xiang's human body. They were somewhat confused as a human Cultivator had inexplicably walked in. (To be continued...)
