Dismissed!

"Why do you have to argue with Pei Zhi, my husband? You're just taking on so much Karmic Power for nothing."

Yuan Lake Water Palace.

Ao Le looked at Lu Qingfeng, who had returned from summoning clouds and rain, his face full of worry.

"It's alright."

"I have great fortune, so I can ignore some Karmic Power," Lu Qingfeng said to Ao Le with a smile, completely unconcerned.

He wrote the "Yellow Court Scripture".

The Karmic Power consequences of the mere "flooding of the seven armies" can be wiped away in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace. Pei Zhi's idea of mutual destruction is an overestimation of himself.

As for the Heavenly Court's punishment—

"The Divine Path in the Immortal Qin Realm is in chaos. The Heavenly Court is above, but it can only govern half of the Divine Path and make decisions on most of the mountain and water gods. The Min River Sorrow River Dragon Palace and Yuan Lake belong to the Sorrow River Dragon Palace, which the Heavenly Court cannot control. The Shanghe Dragon Palace is at odds with the Heavenly Court, while Pei Zhi's Nine Luminaries Extreme Fire Sect is a branch of the Heavenly Court's immortal sects. Even if the Dragon Palace punishes me, out of respect for my father, at most they will only dismiss me from my post."

Lu Qingfeng had planned his actions carefully.

"Even so, it's not worth wasting our luck," Ao Le said, frowning.

Compared to seeking revenge against Pei Zhi, nothing was more important than the slightest thing about her husband. How could the lives of outsiders compare to the mere feathers of her own husband?

Lu Qingfeng smiled, knowing what Ao Le was thinking.

Seeing Lu Qingfeng, and reflecting on his words, Ao Le suddenly realized something and asked in surprise, "Husband, did you plan to resign from your position as the Yuan Lake Water Lord before you started this trouble?"

Immediately.

His brows furrowed even more.

The seven armies were flooded.

Without punishment, the rule of law cannot be upheld.

Even with the protection of the Min River Dragon Lord, dismissal is almost certain.

"Le'er, have you forgotten that Luofuzi entered Chunshen Realm nearly five hundred years ago?" Lu Qingfeng grasped Ao Le's hand and said slowly, "The position of Yuan Lake Water Lord will be relinquished sooner or later. Why not take advantage of that before then and trick that old scoundrel Pei Zhi?"

Ao Le looked up, his gaze falling on Lu Qingfeng's face, revealing a moment of panic.

In a short time.

I'm a little lost.

At this moment, countless divine lights burst forth outside the water palace—

"The Dragon King has decreed that Guangyuan Yuan Lake Water Lord be stripped of his post and ordered to depart within three days to reach the Min River Water Palace!"

Three days later.

"Does my husband really have to go?"

Ao Le stood gracefully in front of Lu Qingfeng, her eyes slightly red, as she straightened Lu Qingfeng's clothes.

"This is a great fortuitous opportunity that others can only dream of, so of course we should go," Lu Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Can--"

Ao Le paused, his hand resting on Lu Qingfeng's chest. He looked up at Lu Qingfeng, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"Relax."

Lu Qingfeng reached out and grasped his hand, gently comforting him, "Father said five hundred years ago that although the 'Chunshen Realm' has a significant background, all the powerful figures within it are restrained by the Three Dragon Palaces and the Ancient Sorrow Heavenly Court, leaving them no time to attend to other matters. When we, as Third Realm cultivators, enter it, it's like a drop of water merging into a vast ocean, making us difficult to detect. Fifth Realm cultivators are all bound hand and foot, and the Fourth Realm cultivators within pose no threat to me."

Ao Le shook his head, "If there is no danger and it is a great fortuitous opportunity, why doesn't Father let my eldest and second brothers go?"

"My father has his own reasons."

Lu Qingfeng smiled.

He naturally understood—

This Chunshen Realm is said to offer considerable fortuitous opportunity, but it is also fraught with danger. Fifth Realm cultivators are currently restrained and unable to act, but it's anyone's guess when they will be free to act in the short term. Not to mention the unknown number of the Fourth Realm cultivators.

Once you enter Chunshen Realm without any help, being exposed will be a disaster.

The Min River Dragon Lord did not allow his own bloodline to go is clear proof of this.

"After Mother was captured and taken back to the West Sea, Father never allowed my siblings and me to take any risks. He was afraid that we would have trouble explaining ourselves when we saw Mother one day." Ao Le understood this perfectly well.

Ultimately.

Although Lu Qingfeng is a son-in-law and has a blood relationship with Ao Lie and Ao Le, he is still far from being a suitable match.

"That's only right. That's how a father should act."

Lu Qingfeng smiled at Ao Le and said, "My father has been kind to me, and you and I are husband and wife. It is my duty to go to the Chunshen Realm, there is no need for such formalities."

The Min River Dragon Lord treated him well; although he had ulterior motives, his kindness was genuine.

Regarding this matter, Lu Qingfeng truly had no resentment. "As for Yuan Lake, it is a time of chaos, with the Demon Marshes Kingdom and Qi Kingdom in utter disarray. After I leave, Min River will be guarded by generals such as Yuan Bi, Lan Feihu, and Zhang Shu. You can return to the Min River to prevent the Demon Marshes from being blind, or the Nine Luminaries Extreme Fire Sect and Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace from going mad."

"Don't worry, my husband, Le'er is waiting for your safe return."

Ao Le looked up and saw her husband's bright and spirited eyes. She couldn't help but reach out and hug him, burying her face in Lu Qingfeng's chest, and whispered, "My husband has always been decisive."

"The Dragon Palace and the Heavenly Court have been at war with the Chunshen Realm for over 5,500 years. My husband's avatar entered the Chunshen Realm 500 years ago, so he understands the situation better than Le'er. However, it's better to be more cautious if he enters in his true form. Among the Three Dragon Palaces, my Min River belongs to the Sorrow River Dragon Palace, but even within the Sorrow River Dragon Palace, there are many factions, and it's not a monolithic entity, let alone the Three Dragon Palaces of the Sorrow River, East Sea, and West Sea. In addition, there is the Ancient Sorrow Heavenly Court..."

Ao Le buried his head in his chest, unable to resist giving instructions and nagging incessantly.

This was the first time in seven hundred years that the couple had been separated for such a long period. Although Chunshen Realm was about to be taken over, no one knew whether it would be a hundred or two hundred years or a thousand or two thousand years. If anything unexpected happened in between, their lives might be in danger.

Ao Le said a lot.

As Lu Qingfeng listened, he sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat melancholy.

If possible, he didn't want to move. However, as the Dragon King of Min River Dragon Lord had ordered, Lu Qingfeng had no choice but to obey unless he betrayed Min River.

However, this fortuitous opportunity is full of opportunities, and the dangers are all under control, so it won't be that bad.

The most agonizing thing is parting.

After bidding farewell to Ao Le, he transformed into a beam of light and disappeared beyond Yuan Lake.

News of the Nanguan Incident spread.

The Yuan Lake Water Lord suspected that Pei Zhi, the military governor of South Pass Circuit, had led demon troops into the country to launch a surprise attack on Yuan Lake.

He was furious.

It stirs up wind and clouds, and brings thunder and rain.

For seven consecutive days, the floodwaters submerged seven armies.

At this moment.

Taking advantage of the situation, the demon soldiers launched an attack, causing heavy casualties at the thirteen strategic passes on the South Pass Circuit. Even Pei Zhi's generals suffered losses.

Seven days later.

The City God Lord Wenshan arrived at South Pass Circuit, by which time the torrential rain had stopped.

Pei Zhi brought the Yuan Lake Water Lord to the imperial court. The King of the Qi Kingdom prayed to Heaven and petitioned the Sorrow River Dragon Palace and the Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Sorrow Heavenly Court to dismiss the Yuan Lake Water Lord from his post and execute him on the 'God-Slaying Platform'.

Same day.

The Min River Dragon Lord then stripped Guangyuan of his position as the Yuan Lake Water Lord and appointed Yuan Bi, the general of Yuan Lake, to temporarily assume the position. He ordered Guangyuan to return to the Min River immediately.

Then.

The Min River Dragon Lord led Guangyuan to the Sorrow River!

"Flooding the seven armies? This is utter nonsense!"

A cluster of clouds swept across the vast sky by the fierce wind.

Above the white clouds, the Min River Dragon Lord looked at Lu Qingfeng beside him and couldn't help but reprimand him. His eyes sized up Lu Qingfeng. Although he couldn't see how much Karmic Power he had accumulated, he could imagine how much Karmic Power and luck he would have to bear for such an absurd act as flooding the seven armies.

"Father, please calm your anger."

"Pei Zhi hateful, secretly leading demon troops to attack Yuan Lake. I, your son-in-law, am furious and will risk everything, even the position of Water Lord, to make him suffer!"

Lu Qingfeng smiled apologetically, but his anger was still burning.

"Even so, you should think twice before acting," the Dragon King said, glaring at him.

"I understand."

"It's just that Pei Zhi has taken advantage of the fact that my Yuan Lake Water Palace no longer has Brother Luofu, and has caused a lot of trouble over the past five hundred years. This time, he even led a demon army to the entrance of Yuan Lake, almost causing a major disaster. That's why I caused the rain in anger, just to punish him and vent my anger."

Lu Qingfeng was filled with righteous indignation.

The Min River Dragon Palace has been constantly at odds with the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace and the Nine Luminaries Extreme Fire Sect. The South Pass Circuit, under the command of Pei Zhi and Gan Zi'ang, is naturally at odds with the Yuan Lake Water Palace. Over the past five hundred years, there have been constant conflicts, both large and small.

The Yuan Lake Water Palace has three thousand Fire Crow Soldiers, three thousand Water-Walking Soldiers, three thousand hundred warriors, and three thousand Yuan Lake Naval Forces, so it is not afraid.

It's just so incredibly annoying.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was about to step down, Lu Qingfeng used this opportunity to vent his personal grievances.

"You should change your temper."

Upon hearing this, the Min River Dragon Lord sighed, "Although many people in the Sorrow River Dragon Palace applauded your actions this time, and even the Dragon King privately praised them, there are also those who impeach you and want to severely punish you."

Lu Qingfeng looked up at Min River Dragon Lord.

The Min River Dragon Lord said in a deep voice, "Rest assured. Stripping you of your position as the Yuan Lake Water Lord will settle this matter. The Dragon Palace will not pursue this further. As for the Ancient Sorrow Heavenly Court— "

The Min River Dragon Lord scoffed, "Their reach doesn't even extend to the Sorrow River Dragon Palace."

"Thank you for protecting me, Father King."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Let's not gossip."

Min River Dragon Lord waved his hand, skipping the topic, and suddenly changed the subject, asking, "Just now we mentioned Luofuzi. Do you know where Luofuzi went five hundred years ago?"

Finally, let's get to the point.

Lu Qingfeng smiled inwardly. Luofuzi was originally his clone, sharing the same thoughts and intentions as him. Min River Dragon Lord thought Lu Qingfeng knew nothing about anything, but little did he know that all the details were in Lu Qingfeng's heart.

"I don't know."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

The Min River Dragon Lord was still keeping him in suspense, not telling him directly, but instead asking, "Do you know how vast the territory of the Immortal Qin is?"

"I have heard of that before."

"It is said that there are nine continents in the Immortal Qin, and the one we are in is only one of them, called the 'Ancient Sorrow Continent'. It is isolated from the other eight continents for some unknown reason, and there has been no contact between them since the destruction of the Immortal Qin."

Lu Qingfeng spent seven hundred years in Yuan Lake and gained a much better understanding of the Immortal Qin Realm.

As far as he knew, the Min River and even the Sorrow River were located in the territory of the ' Ancient Sorrow Continent Immortal Qin Realm. Information about the other eight continents was extremely scarce, existing only in legends. Even with Lu Qingfeng's status as a fourth-rank deity and the son-in-law of the Min River Dragon, he could not find out much.

All that is known is the Ancient Sorrow Continent—

The Celestial Heavenly Court Immortals.

The Three Dragon Palaces.

A human Wang Chao.

And demons led by transcendent forces such as the North Sea Jiaomo Palace, the East Sea Zhenwu Tongxuan Mountain, and the South Sea Tongling Wuji Gate.

They were divided into four directions, each facing the other.

The Min River belongs to the Sorrow River Dragon Palace, one of the Three Dragon Palaces.

However, the Yuanyou Divine Communion Palace and the Nine Luminaries Extreme Fire Sect belong to the Ancient Sorrow Heavenly Court and are among the immortal sects. Both sects have members who serve in the Ancient Sorrow Heavenly Court.

"Good."

"The Immortal Qin has nine continents, but did you know that before the Immortal Qin, this world only had five continents?"

Min River Dragon Lord looked at Lu Qingfeng and smiled.
