Heavenly Firmament Academy Envoy

"Crippled Liu Ruyan's cultivation."

"Mobilize the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate's Heaven Tier magical artifact, the Nine Dragon Bell, to deliver a coffin to the Liu Family."

The three elders couldn't help but look up. Their gazes towards Qin Anlan were filled with confusion.

Was this still the Qin Anlan who had no bottom line when it came to fawning over others?

Instead of groveling at Liu Ruyan, that hypocrite, he was now playing the game of crushing a delicate flower with a ruthless hand.

The three elders began to communicate with their divine senses.

Everyone inwardly exclaimed, "What a surprise!"

The Young Lord's change was simply too drastic.

Did he realize that fawning until the very end yields nothing, And decide to make a complete 180-degree turn?

Since he couldn't have what he wanted, no one else should have it either.

Might as well destroy it all.

Crippling cultivation, stripping spiritual roots, extracting phoenix blood.

Such methods were far more vicious than those of them, old fellows who had lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Liu Ruyan meeting their Young Lord was simply a disaster.

Everyone's hearts rejoiced, and they found Qin Anlan more and more pleasing to the eye.

As expected of the Young Lord of their Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Such actions possessed a certain heroic demeanor.

Who was Liu Ruyan anyway?

She was merely someone from a minor family.

Even with the help of their Young Lord, she was forcibly given a spiritual root and infused with phoenix blood.

Dressed in the feathers of a phoenix, she was still essentially a mountain chicken.

"Elders, do you have any other questions?"

Seeing that the three remained motionless, Qin Anlan narrowed his eyes and asked.

"No, no, we respectfully obey the Young Lord's command."

The three elders responded in unison.

"Excellent!"

Qin Anlan stood up, hands behind his back, and said coldly, "In that case, the three elders will accompany this Young Lord. We will bring the Nine Dragon Bell of our Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, prepare ample coffins, and march on the Liu Family."

"Understood!"

The three elders received the order in unison.

They mobilized the army of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, bringing hundreds of coffins and the Nine Dragon Bell of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, and set off in a grand procession towards the Liu Family.

In the sky above.

Several resonant sounds shook the heavens, and the crowd below looked up in the direction of the sound.

They saw streaks of divine light rising from the horizon not far away. The light stretched for thousands of miles, spreading across the sky and forming a rainbow bridge.

A magnificent carriage was speeding towards them at an incredible pace.

In a flash, it appeared within everyone's sight.

This treasure carriage was adorned with pearls and jade, ethereal and dreamlike, appearing both real and illusory.

It was surrounded by a radiant glow, with the auras of many powerful figures accompanying it on both sides.

Behind it, hundreds or even thousands of imposing auras appeared, creating a magnificent spectacle.

A young man with an extraordinary demeanor sat atop the treasure carriage.

His appearance was handsome, yet his aura was incredibly terrifying.

The imposing aura surrounding him made people feel an urge to revere him and dare not look up.

Many people recognized the identity of this young man at a glance.

They immediately exclaimed, "Could this be the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, Qin Anlan?"

This exclamation caused a huge stir.

The crowd stopped in their tracks, their gazes drawn towards Qin Anlan's direction, their faces filled with shock.

They never expected to see the true appearance of this Divine Marquis's Young Lord one day.

Qin Anlan's status was among the most noble in the entire Heavenly Flame Empire.

His father was the powerful Divine Marquis of Zhenguo, a top-tier figure of the 'Earth Transcending' level, holding a pivotal position in the entire Heavenly Flame Empire.

His mother was the Grand Princess of the Heavenly Flame Empire, the most beautiful woman in the capital back then, showered with endless affection and commanding countless forces.

Qin Anlan himself was an exceptionally outstanding individual, possessing the Void Saint Body, making him a true prodigy.

It could be said without exaggeration that Qin Anlan was a legendary figure throughout the entire Heavenly Flame Empire.

He was an object of worship for countless cultivators.

Even with the label of a "simp" attached to him, it couldn't change Qin Anlan's status.

"The Young Lord of the Divine Marquis is personally making a move, and hundreds, even thousands, of experts from the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate have been dispatched. They're even carrying a large number of coffins. What are they planning?"

"Looking at their formation and the direction they're heading, it seems to be related to the Liu family."

"They're going to the Liu family. Could it be that the Young Lord is personally going to the Liu family to pick up the bride?"

"Have you ever seen a wedding procession that carries hundreds of coffins to pick up the bride? In my opinion, the Young Lord is clearly leading the experts from the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate to suppress the Liu family."

"You can't just say things like that. After all, it's common knowledge that the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate and the Liu family have a marital relationship."

The crowd watched the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate mobilize such a grand display, utterly bewildered.

Under the deterrence of that powerful pressure, some individuals with weaker cultivation were so frightened their backs grew cold and their limbs went soft, nearly collapsing to the ground.

As for those with even weaker cultivation, they couldn't even be bothered to put on a show and simply prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.

Even more unbearable, some were so shaken by the aura that they fainted, their minds drifting to outer space.

This powerful, murderous aura was truly terrifying.

"They say the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate is the most powerful force in the Heavenly Flame Empire, second only to the Xuanyuan Imperial family. Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation."

"I'd really like to see what the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate intends to do by mobilizing so many experts."

"What? You actually want to follow them and join the fun? Are you an old man eating face cream, trying to prolong your life?"

The Liu Family.

The head of the Liu family, Shen Qi, felt a mix of emotions, both joy and sorrow.

The joy came from Liu Chongshan's letter to Heavenly Firmament Academy, expressing their clan's desire to pledge allegiance. To their surprise, Heavenly Firmament Academy had responded.

"The people from Heavenly Firmament Academy have already dispatched an envoy, and they will be arriving at our Liu family soon."

"With the protection of Heavenly Firmament Academy, our Liu family might be able to survive this calamity."

As he spoke these words, Liu Chongshan's face showed no hint of joy; instead, his worry deepened.

Although Heavenly Firmament Academy had accepted the Liu family's surrender and agreed to send an envoy, the crucial issue was that they had already offended the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

If the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate sent experts to deal with the Liu family before the envoy from Heavenly Firmament Academy arrived, the entire Liu family would likely be plunged into an abyss of eternal damnation.

After all, Liu Ruyan had gone to the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate to break off her engagement with Qin Anlan.

This was equivalent to slapping Qin Anlan in the face and dragging the reputation of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate through the mud.

The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate would definitely not let the Liu family off the hook; retaliating against them was only a matter of time.

Liu Chongshan's words plunged the entire hall back into silence.

Everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.

The survival of the Liu family hung in the balance that very day.

A single misstep could lead to utter ruin.

"Where is the head of the Liu family?"

"I am an envoy from Heavenly Firmament Academy. I have arrived; why do you not hasten to greet me?"

A resonant voice echoed from the sky.

Everyone in the Liu family heard this voice.

Liu Chongshan quickly led a group of Liu family experts towards the main gate of the Liu family mansion.

"I, Liu Chongshan, head of the Liu family, along with the members of the Liu family, pay our respects to the esteemed envoy."

Upon arriving outside, Liu Chongshan clasped his fists, his attitude respectful as he bowed towards the sky.

"We pay our respects to the esteemed envoy."

The members of the Liu family dared not show any disrespect and obediently cupped their fists in greeting.

The next moment.

As everyone craned their necks in anticipation.

A brilliant light suddenly exploded in the sky, completely enveloping the entire Liu family.

Beneath that light, a figure appeared out of thin air, descending from the sky and slowly appearing before them.

The Liu family members were overjoyed at the sight.

Anyone capable of such divine power must be a Divine Venerable-level expert, or even stronger.

Even the Liu family's Old Ancestor didn't have such an imposing entrance.

The newcomer was seen wearing a purple Daoist robe and a purple-gold crown on his head.

A terrifying power emanated from him, making everyone feel awestruck and dare not look up.
