Wu Zhao's visit

Inside the Great Hall of the Asura Sect, Luo Ba, Zen Master Da Wu, the Golden Body Bodhisattva, Bai Qi, the Demon Queen, the Dragon East Sea Dragon King, and many other powerful figures had solemn expressions and remained silent. Each of these people was a figure who stood proudly at the pinnacle of the Cultivation World, yet they were still deeply shocked by Zhuge Xiang's words.

Everyone present would recognize Ying Qianshan without a doubt, including Zhuge Xiang. However, Zhuge Xiang also encountered a Ying Qianshan in the Immortal Realm, and moreover, he concluded that the Ying Qianshan in the Immortal Realm and the Ying Qianshan in the Cultivation World were not the same person. So, which of these two Ying Qianshan is the real one?

If Ying Qianshan of the Cultivation World is an imposter, then who is he really? And what kind of earth-shattering conspiracy is hidden within this?

"I wonder if the Demon-Revealing Demon Mirror can reveal Ying Qianshan's true form?" the Demon Queen suddenly spoke up amidst the discussion.

Hearing the Demon Queen's words, the other powerful figures also began to ponder. The Demon-Revealing Demon Mirror, being a Half-Immortal Artifact Grade, could see through illusions and even expose the true Transformation Demon Monster. However, they weren't sure if it would be effective against Ying Qianshan, given that his true identity was uncertain. "Whether it works or not, we can still give it a try," Zhuge Xiang said, expressing his opinion.

"That's right, we can definitely give it a try. Leave this to me," Baitou agreed with Zhuge Xiang and volunteered to take on the task.

Guarding the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang Hundred Emperors Tomb for thousands of years, and being Ying Zheng's close Great General in his time, if we were to ask who understood Ying Qianshan the most, it would definitely be Bai Qi.

"Well, this matter will be troubled by General Bai. However, Ying Qianshan is quite strong. Although the Twelve Demon Gods have been injured, we need to discuss the specifics carefully." Luo Ba and the others knew Bai Qi's strengths, so they all agreed to let Bai Qi carry out the mission.

The matter concerning Ying Qianshan has drawn great attention from the Rebel Army. On the Great Qin Imperial Family's side, many powerful figures have been Spirit Devouring Poison and need time to eliminate the Toxins and recuperate. On the Rebel Army's side, after the previous great battle, the Twelve Demon Gods, whose ferocity was overwhelming, are now suppressed within the Asura Sect and also need time to regroup.

Therefore, after Zhuge Xiang returned from his solo journey to Xianyang City, a rare period of peace lasted for more than ten days. Both the Rebel Army and the Great Qin Imperial Family ceased hostilities, and the entire Great Qin Empire experienced a calm before the storm, creating a sense of oppression. However, this peace was quickly shattered when intelligence was presented to the Rebel Army leaders: Great Song border, and almost simultaneously, the Great Tang Dynasty and Great Ming Dynasty also took action, openly or covertly mobilizing large numbers of troops to press towards the Great Qin Empire's border.

"Are these three dynasties trying to take advantage of our misfortune?" Upon receiving this intelligence, the faces of the Rebel Army leaders were all grim.

The gathering of the three great dynasties clearly indicates hostile intentions. Although everyone wanted to overthrow the rule of the Great Qin Imperial Family, most of them were citizens of the Qin Great Qin Empire and had no desire to become slaves of a conquered nation.

"The joint attack by the three kingdoms is shocking, but it was expected. The one most anxious about this matter is not us, but the Great Qin Imperial Family. I believe the Great Qin Imperial Family must have a way to deal with it," Luo Ba said.

"Well, let's wait and see," Bai Qi and the others nodded in agreement. Now that the Imperial Clan and the Rebel Army were fighting, how could the Great Qin Imperial Family not have a way to deal with it and prevent other countries from taking advantage of the situation?

After discussing some details regarding the major battle, everyone dispersed. Zhuge Xiang also returned to his Futuo Mountain. Although he had been enjoying some rare leisure time, Zhuge Xiang knew that something could happen at any moment.

On one hand, there's the war between the Rebel Army and the Great Qin Imperial Family. This peace will soon be shattered with the invasion of the Three Kingdoms Allied Army. On the other hand, there's the matter of the Phoenix Clan in the Immortal Realm. The Phoenix Clan is already investigating the Fire Crow Clan. When it's time for me to take action, the Phoenix Clan will send me a message. At that time, I'll be very busy.

These days, Mo Lingna has been in seclusion on Futuo Mountain, comprehending the Eighth Layer of the Nine Beast Forbidden Canon Scripture, the Insect Demon Sound. Zhuge Xiang is unaware of her progress, as Mo Lingna has been in seclusion and Zhuge Xiang has had no opportunity to see her.

As for Xiao Yue, during the Asura Path Sacred War, relying on the treasures obtained by Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna in killing their opponents, Xiao Yue finally digested all those treasures during this period, and his cultivation level suddenly rose to the level of Six-Star Demon Monster, equivalent to Cultivator in the Great Accomplishment Stage Realm.

Of course, Zhuge Xiang hasn't been idle these days. After observing Elder Ding forging immortal Immortal Artifact that day, Zhuge Xiang gained a lot of insights into Forging. In addition, his Sun Chasing Boots were used up as consumables for the Sky-Forbidden God-Slaying Slash Skill while escaping. Therefore, Zhuge Xiang has been having Xiao Yue help him purify the materials and forge his own shoes these past few days.

After about half a month of work, the shoes that Zhuge Xiang had forged were finally completed. They were a pair of silver chainmail boots with a restrained luster, but they exuded a powerful aura. Although they did not reach the Half-Immortal Artifact Grade, they were still Twelve Star Spiritual Treasure, which were rare treasures in the Cultivation World.

The boots had just been finished when Zhuge Xiang tried them on and was fairly satisfied. However, Zhuge Xiang immediately sensed a powerful aura appearing in Futuo Mountain.

This aura was very familiar, yet it was far more powerful than he Memory. This aura shouldn't have appeared in the Asura Sect, but it had indeed appeared, even managing to deceive all the powerful members of the Asura Sect.

"Her strength has actually reached such a level?" Sensing this familiar aura, Zhuge Xiang's state of mind was somewhat shaken.

Wu Zhao, the woman Zhuge Xiang loved most deeply, was the only one who could stir such intense emotions within Zhuge Xiang.

"However, who is that faint aura beside her? This aura seems to have some connection with me?" As the master of Futuo Mountain, Zhuge Xiang sensed not only Wu Zhao's aura but also another aura, which was faint yet vibrant, like the rising sun. More importantly, this faint aura seemed to have an inexplicable connection with him.

On that day, Zhuge Xiang returned from the Great Tang Dynasty, while Wu Zhao remained in the Great Tang, and their relationship came to an end. But today, Wu Zhao came to his door in person, and on the eve of the Three Kingdoms Allied Army's partition of the Great Qin, she came to see him. Zhuge Xiang really didn't understand her purpose, but since Wu Zhao came, Zhuge Xiang was naturally happy to see her.

On Futuo Mountain, Wu Zhao, dressed in a white dress, stood on the edge of the Futuo Mountain, looking down at the Endless Mountain Range. Futuo Mountain seemed to float high in the sky. The wind in the sky blew up her skirt, and as the skirt swayed, it outlined a beautiful body, half-hidden and half-revealed.

At this moment, Wu Zhao, standing on the edge of Futuo Mountain, was not the high and mighty Empress, but just a simple woman. She had lost the domineering aura of an emperor, but gained a touch of feminine gentleness.

Beside Wu Zhao was a little boy of about two or three years old. He had a chubby face and a pair of bright, dark eyes that were full of intelligence. He looked around as if he was looking for something. His tender little face was full of expectation. This little boy was Wu Nian, the only son of Zhuge Xiang and Wu Zhao.

In the eyes of the Great Tang Dynasty's subjects, Wu Zhao was Li Zhi's wife, and the children Wu Zhao bore were naturally her children with Li Zhi. However, Wu Zhao herself knew very well that her relationship with Li Zhi was nominal.

Wu Nian is the son of himself and Zhuge Xiang, but this identity cannot be made public. Wu Zhao also cannot let Zhuge Xiang's son take the surname Li. Therefore, he compromised and let his son take his surname Wu.

"I never imagined you would one day set foot on Futuo Mountain," Zhuge Xiang, his steps unhurried yet surprisingly swift, his demeanor seemingly leisurely strolling. In an instant, he arrived before Wu Zhao, and looking at her flowing white dress, Wu Zhao of tenderness welled up in his heart.

The Wu Zhao before them seemed to overlap with the image of her in the Illusionary Realm. When reality was mistaken for illusion, illusion became reality. At this moment, the two seemed to have returned to the Illusionary Realm, to the scene of their ten years as husband and wife.

"How have you been these days?" Looking at Zhuge Xiang, Wu Zhao opened his mouth, wanting to say many things, but in the end, only this sentence came out.

"Not bad. How about you? I've heard that the Great Tang Dynasty is in perfect order under your leadership," Zhuge Xiang nodded and asked in return. This conversation was as natural as that between friends or husband and wife, without the slightest awkwardness.

"It's alright," Wu Zhao nodded, paused slightly, and then added, "It's just that I'm a little tired."

"As the ruler of a country, you have to manage the affairs of the entire dynasty. It's natural to be tired. If you don't want to, then stay at Futuo Mountain," Zhuge Xiang said with some heartache.

Although the two are on opposing sides due to the relationship between the Great Qin and Great Tang dynasties, Zhuge Xiang's feelings for Wu Zhao will not change, Zhuge Xiang also knows that Wu Zhao's feelings for him have not changed either.

"It is the will of Heavenly Dao, the destiny of Heaven, it is impossible," Wu Zhao sighed softly, her words carrying a hint of helplessness. Only in front of Zhuge Xiang would the dignified Empress show such a vulnerable side.

"Mother, is he my father?" While Zhuge Xiang was talking to Wu Zhao, Wu Nian, who was standing next to him, kept staring at Zhuge Xiang with her big, sly eyes, and suddenly spoke up.

"Mother? This guy," Zhuge Xiang was still taken aback by the sudden appearance of a son in Wu Nian's Wu Zhao, which gave him time to examine him closely.

He looked about two or three years old, and the more Zhuge Xiang looked at him, the more surprised he became...
