Removing Future Troubles, a Hundred Years in an Instant

The South Pass Circuit is close to the territory of Upper River Circuit.

Splash!

A vast river appeared, with a small boat drifting on the current. On the boat, a middle-aged scholar held a scroll in his palm. Immediately, the boat disappeared, and the river vanished.

Four figures landed on the ground.

Bai Ziyue, Zhu Xuanji, Gongyang Yu settled down and bowed to Gan Zi'ang, saying, "Thank you, Lord Gan, for saving our lives!"

The situation just now was truly perilous.

Upon hearing the words "Sword Venerable Tianxin," the Water Yuan Lake Water Lord's eyes instantly turned red, displaying an attitude of not giving up until he had captured the three. Although the three had impressive backgrounds, the Yuan Lake Water Lord was the son-in-law of the Min River Dragon, placing him a significant advantage over the three of them.

Once captured, one 'Life and Death will be out of one's control.

Fortunately, Gan Zi'ang stepped in.

"The actions of the Yuan Lake Water Lord have gone too far, and I, Gan, naturally cannot stand idly by," Gan Zi'ang returned the greeting to the three, speaking clearly. However, considering Luofuzi's strength, he also felt somewhat solemn.

With such a wicked person entering the Yuan Lake Water Palace and obeying the orders of the Yuan Lake Water Lord, the South Pass Circuit is likely to face many troubles in the future.

Gan Zi'ang looked at the three of them with a righteous expression and said in a deep voice, "It is not advisable to stay here for long. The three of you should quickly return to the Northern Frost Circuit and report all the matters here to the seniors of the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace."

"We will never forget your kindness in saving us, and we will definitely repay you in the future."

Bai Ziyue and the other two knew their situation, so they didn't say much to Gan Zi'ang and turned into a beam of light, disappearing without a trace.

"The legacy of the Sword Venerable Tianxin".

"That's really good luck."

Gan Zi'ang watched the three leave, a look of envy in his eyes. That was a renowned sword immortal lineage dating back to the Immortal Qin era. Even though the interference of the Yuan Lake Water Lord had prevented Bai Ziyue and his companions from quietly making their fortune, and they might face some trouble back at the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace, their gains would certainly not be small.

Thinking of this.

Gan Ziang shook his head, put away the "Jiang Xian Letter", held the Spring and Autumn Pen in his hand and wrote the word "disease" in the air, and then rushed to Zhennanguan as fast as flying.

North.

Bai Ziyue, Zhu Xuanji, and Gongyang Yu traveled in parallel, their escape lights moving in tandem. Gongyang Yu trembled the most, clearly indicating that his injuries had not yet fully healed. The escape lights moved swiftly, their movements somewhat sluggish.

After a long silence, Gongyang Yu broke the silence, "Could it be that the Yuan Lake Water Lord is crying wolf?"

"Yuan Lake Water Lord was chosen by the Min River Dragon Lord from among thousands of talents after three hundred years of searching for a son-in-law. He was sixteen years old when he entered the Dragon Palace and began his cultivation at the age of nineteen. He is now one hundred and twenty-seven years old, and has only cultivated for one hundred and eight years in total. He even switched from cultivating the Nature Dao to cultivating the path of destiny midway through his Fate Dao."

Zhu Xuanji did not respond, but instead quietly recounted the resume of the 'Yuan Lake Water Lord'.

Gongyang Yu immediately fell silent.

With such an innocent background, it's impossible for her to ignore the formations inside and outside Sword Venerable Tianxin's cave abode and take away all those inheritances and treasures without leaving a trace.

Such suspicions are truly unfounded.

Don't overthink it.

"Once we return to the palace, we will tell you everything that happened, and the elders will investigate."

Bai Ziyue said in a deep voice.

Whether it was Daoist Tianxin playing tricks on the younger generation or someone else getting there first, returning empty-handed from Daoist Tianxin's Grotto this time has already sown the seeds of distrust among the three.

Or rather...

The three of them came together because of the 'Tianxin Sword Token', so it's inevitable that they would suspect each other under these circumstances.

They remained silent the entire way.

Heading straight for the Northern Frost Circuit.

Yuan Lake Water Palace.

Inside the inner palace.

Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le entered hand in hand.

Boom!

The palace gates were closed.

"Call."

"This hidden danger has finally been eliminated."

Lu Qingfeng let out a long breath, sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea for Ao Le and himself, and gulped it down.

Ao Le also stepped forward and sat down, unable to help but laugh, "My husband has really angered the three people from the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace."

"Those who sneak into my Yuan Lake territory to steal treasure are destined for this calamity."

The world's treasures belong to those with virtue.

Bai Ziyue, Zhu Xuanji, and Gongyang Yu's attempt to apprehend them backfired, a clear case of bad luck. As for framing the three, it was merely a minor punishment for their trespassing into Yuan Lake's territory.

Furthermore, the Min River Dragon Palace, the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace, and even the Nine Luminaries Extreme Fire Sect are all enemies, constantly clashing within the Qi Kingdom. Lu Qingfeng feels no remorse for harming the cultivators of the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace.

"My husband's plan is brilliant; it has completely fooled Gan Zi'ang and the others."

Ao Le took a sip of tea and kept laughing.

Seeing Lu Qingfeng's effortless and skillful planning, even Ao Le, who knew all along, was almost fooled, let alone the others.

"Never underestimate anyone in the world."

"However, today's battle is enough to clear my name of any suspicions."

Lu Qingfeng died unexpectedly in several lifetimes, and dared not be complacent. In fact, he even had a fleeting thought that he could leave behind some treasures such as the 'Nine Palaces Star Compass' and the 'Qingyuan Pearl' in the empty Daoist Tianxin's Grotto.

While making those who enter the cave abode willingly take the blame, they can also swindle another sum of money.

But considering the unfathomable depths of the Immortal Qin Realm, he ultimately held back.

Simply clearing one's name would save a lot of trouble.

That's enough.

Moreover, this plan achieves multiple benefits in one fell swoop—

Firstly, it would allow them to extricate themselves from the legacy of the Immortal Qin Qi Refining and leave the stain on Bai Ziyue and the other two.

After all, it's the legacy of the Immortal Qin Sword Immortal. Even Mahayana True Immortal would Heart Movement such a treasure left behind by the Fifth Realm supreme expert. If Lu Qingfeng were to get involved with it, even with the Min River Dragon Lord behind him, he would never be at peace.

Bai Ziyue and his two companions rushed towards them, and Lu Qingfeng naturally went along with it.

What's even more remarkable is that Lu Qingfeng neither detained the three nor killed them; instead, he simply let them go, further confirming the matter.

When the three returned to the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace, they were given a thorough explanation.

Only.

If it were said that no treasure was found, even those inside the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace might not believe it, let alone those outside the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace.

There's no way to defend oneself; it's all just like that.

Secondly, it creates an image of a naive and harmless young man, reducing many problems later on.

You don't need many reasons to cause trouble for others.

A hothead's actions need no explanation to others!

This is the third one.

Luofuzi's display of power paved the way for the subsequent extermination of demons and monsters across a vast area. With this victory, it's likely that no evil spirits or monsters will dare to linger within that area. The Yuan Lake Water Palace can be taken down without losing a single soldier, saving on manpower and financial resources, while also concealing the true strength of the Yuan Lake Water Palace.

Fourthly, Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace, located within the territory of Yuan Lake Min River, obtained the relics and treasures of a supreme expert of the Fifth Realm during the Immortal Qin era. This not only brought trouble to the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace, but also provided Min River with another excuse to confront Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace in the future.

Certainly.

It is said to be a win-win situation.

Actually, the most important thing is still the first one—

They completely distanced themselves from the matter of Daoist Tianxin's inheritance.

"When my husband is cleared of suspicion and my father finds out, he will surely be heartbroken and beat his chest in despair," Ao Le couldn't help but laugh.

"Father."

Lu Qingfeng looked westward and couldn't help but smile, thinking of his father-in-law in the Dragon Palace.

The Battle of South Pass Circuit caused a sensation in all directions.

Among them, the most eye-catching are undoubtedly Bai Ziyue, Zhu Xuanji, Gongyang Yu from the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace.

The news that the three of them infiltrated the territory under the jurisdiction of Yuan Lake, took the treasure inheritance of the Immortal Qin Qi Refining Daoist Tianxin, and then fought a big battle with the Yuan Lake Water Palace, and were eventually rescued by Gan Zi'ang, the inspector of South Pass Circuit, spread from South Pass Circuit to all directions of the Qi Kingdom, and even to the southern Demon Marshes.

All eyes were drawn to the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace.

Enraged, the Min River Dragon Lord went to the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace and fought a fierce battle with the patriarch Daoist Xuanjue, for three days and three nights, from the celestial gale layer to the Ninefold Abyss below.

They stopped and returned to the Min River.

Besides this incident, in this battle, Luofuzi, who had only recently joined the Yuan Lake Water Palace, slaughtered everyone and displayed invincible strength.

The killing of the Heavenly Jade Great Monster was originally only known in the South Pass Circuit area, and spread within a small area of the Qi Kingdom.

In an instant, the Qi Kingdom famous.

As a result, the Yuan Lake Water Palace also attracted considerable attention. Taking advantage of this momentum, the Yuan Lake Water Palace, led by Luofuzi, swept across an area of tens of thousands of miles. After a century of hiding away, the Yuan Lake Water Palace finally displayed its power after Luofuzi joined.

Time passes.

With Luofuzi in charge, the Yuan Lake Water Palace controls a territory of 100,000 li, and no one dares to violate it.

Peace and tranquility prevailed, and a century passed in the blink of an eye.

Min River Dragon Palace.

Inside the inner palace.

The Min River Dragon Lord sat at the head of the table, with the Tortoise Chancellor beside him. Below him sat a white-clad swordsman who, though sitting cross-legged, had a straight back, like a sharp sword pointing to the sky.

It was Luofuzi.

"Time flies, a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"If I remember correctly, after today, the deadline for my young friend Luofu to help my son-in-law Guangyuan, as promised in his early years, will have passed."

Min River Dragon Lord spoke in a loud voice, looking at Luofuzi.

"Good."

"It will be tomorrow at the hour of Hai (9-11 PM)."

Luofuzi said calmly.

His nature is to keep his promises and to be devoted to the sword. Nothing can capture his attention or stir his emotions except his commitments and the way of the sword.

Even keeping a promise is for the sake of having no worries in one's heart, so as to focus on the way of the sword and move forward without hesitation.

A simple personality makes it easier for Lu Qingfeng to control, preventing him from becoming confused due to an overly complex personality.

"Ha ha."

"Young friend, you remember it clearly."

The Dragon King laughed heartily. Having known Luofuzi for a hundred years, he understood his temperament and, without beating around the bush, asked directly, "Now that the deadline has arrived, young friend, would you be willing to formally enter my Min River Dragon Palace? If you agree, you can choose any of the four ranks of deities in the Min River."

For the past hundred years, Luofuzi has claimed to serve Lu Qingfeng, but in reality, ever since that battle a hundred years ago when Luofuzi displayed his invincible Third Realm combat power, Min River Dragon Lord has repeatedly borrowed him, and the frequency has increased over time.

Over the course of a century.

Luofuzi spent far less time at Yuan Lake than he did when he was borrowed by the Min River Dragon Lord.

The Min River Dragon Lord held Luofuzi in high regard and had repeatedly offered to Luofuzi as his personal disciple, but Luo Fuzi refused each time. Now that the hundred-year deadline has arrived, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Luofuzi will depart and have no further connection with the Yuan Lake Water Palace or the Min River Dragon Palace. The Min River Dragon Lord couldn't help but ask one last time.

"Unwilling."

"I dislike being constrained."

Luofuzi refused without hesitation.

Lu Qingfeng already possessed a fourth-rank divine position, so having another fourth-rank divine position wouldn't be of much use. Moreover, since the fortunes were intertwined during the conferment of the title, it would be easy to expose the deception.

In fact.

Lu Qingfeng originally intended for his clone, 'Luofuzi,' to both oversee Yuan Lake and cultivate and refine the restrictions on his main body to enhance its strength.

In the end, everything was ruined by the Min River Dragon Lord.

He could hit wherever he was told, and although he gained a lot of combat experience and made many gains, his cultivation was delayed.

That's all, I can't keep up with the updates, I'll just kowtow to you all.

Knock! Knock! Knock!
