Three hundred years ago.
When Li Yuanhua entered seclusion, he was already an expert of the Spirit Severing Stage, renowned throughout tens of thousands of miles of sea.
Could it be that, during these three hundred years...
He had made another tremendous breakthrough and stepped into the Earth Immortal realm?
If so...
Then even when facing a colossal force like the Wang Family, they would have a voice!
King of Liang was thrilled, convinced his guess was dead on.
The Li Family!
Was about to soar!
"Old Ancestor is mighty!" King of Liang, Li Changhe, dropped to his knees and shouted, overwhelmed with excitement.
Li Yuanhua flicked his sleeve and said calmly, "Go. Bring all the young and beautiful women on the island, and come with me to meet that Young Master Wang!"
"???"
Li Changhe froze for a moment.
Young Master Wang was notoriously lustful. He had long since ordered all the women to hide within the underground formation, lest they fall into his clutches.
Why did the Old Ancestor instead want him to bring them along?
Could it be that when they made their move...
They would have people nearby waving flags and shouting, making their display more imposing?
Li Changhe pursed his lips. As expected of the Old Ancestor—arrogant enough!
Hehehe!
"Remember, have them change into their prettiest clothes and put on the finest rouge!"
"Rest assured, Old Ancestor, I understand, hehehe..."
"???"
"Bring your empress and daughter too!" Li Yuanhua added.
"???"
Upon a broad, open High Platform.
There stood a spacious white jade couch carved with dragons, inlaid with thirty-six thousand tiny, round North Sea Everbright Pearls. Each one was priceless; plucked out, it could be used directly as a top-grade Spirit Stone.
It was covered in a large autumn-gold brocade quilt woven from finest Heavenly Silkworm silk.
Zixia leaned against one end of the long couch. Her purple satin gown gleamed with a flowing luster, while a silver belt cinched her waist, outlining the young woman's delicate yet voluptuous figure to perfection.
Wang Mu lay with his head on Zixia's soft thighs, the faint fragrance of the young woman constantly drifting beneath his nose.
Before the jade couch stood two beautiful maidservants, kneading his legs.
After swallowing the Spiritual Fruit Zixia had just fed him, he Opened his mouth and spat out the pit.
Beside the jade couch.
The Golden Lion, having shrunk its body, lay sprawled on the ground in boredom, dozing off.
At a glance, it looked like a little golden-furred puppy.
As the Northern Region's number one top-drawer playboy.
And considering how many people he had offended in his usual days.
Whenever he went out.
Safety was naturally the foremost concern.
The Golden-Winged Peng had plenty of potential.
But it was still too young, so it could only serve as a pet.
Therefore.
Not only had his family arranged many expert protectors of the path for Wang Mu.
This Golden Lion was also one of his safety measures.
Two years ago, when Wang Mu turned eighteen.
His father, the Human Butcher Wang Tianba, happened to destroy a Spirit Transformation sect with a ten-thousand-year inheritance. He suppressed and brought back its sect-guarding divine beast as Wang Mu's coming-of-age gift.
"Did you keep everyone?" Wang Mu's lazy voice carried a trace of helplessness.
"Yes!" Zixia gently pressed Wang Mu's temples and spoke softly, her breath fragrant as orchids. "Those mortals feared the Young Master's heavenly might and all rushed to the docks, hoping to take ships away. This servant sent people to stop them!"
"Alas!"
Wang Mu sighed soundlessly. The reputation of his previous body truly had been rather terrible.
Even ordinary mortals who had never cultivated had Heard of his foul name and avoided him like the plague.
The road to clearing his name was long and arduous indeed!
Wang Mu propped his face up with one hand and leaned against Zixia's full bosom. Raising an Eyebrow, he asked, "Where are the Li Family people?"
Zixia said, "They should be on their way to welcome you!"
After a pause, she added, "Young Master, the Li-Liang Imperial House has endured for a thousand years. Especially that Li Clan Ancestor, Li Yuanhua—his temperament is exceedingly unyielding...
If you wish to make him obey obediently, I fear you will need to employ a few methods!"
"Oh?" A hint of curiosity arose in Wang Mu's eyes, though there was far more indifference.
What he intended to do this time would naturally be most efficient with the cooperation of the local overlord.
But if the local overlord refused to cooperate...
Then he would simply replace the local overlord.
An effortless matter!
Suddenly.
The surroundings fell silent.
In the distance, at the end of the steps, hundreds of lovely female figures appeared in unison.
Plump and slender, each had her own charms.
Dressed in gorgeous, daring garments that exposed large swaths of skin, they strode this way with their chests lifted and heads held high.
At their head were two men.
One wore a dragon robe.
The other wore a gray robe and had a white beard.
Both held their heads high and their chests out, brimming with vigor, as though leading an army.
Especially the old man—his back was ramrod straight, his gaze blazing like a sharp sword that could pierce through every haze in the world. Its keen light was intimidating, fearless and unafraid.
Wang Mu pursed his lips.
What kind of lineup was this?
While he was still dazed.
The group had already arrived at The scene.
Li Yuanhua held his chest high, stared directly at Wang Mu, and declared loudly, "Young Master Wang, this Heavenly Severing Island is not a place you should have come to!"
Hearing this, The scene sank into Dead Silence.
A trace of astonishment appeared on Zixia's exquisite face. Then the corners of her lips curled slightly, as if she had heard something highly amusing.
King of Liang Li Changhe Looked towards his own Old Ancestor with eyes full of reverence, so excited he could barely contain himself.
Not bad, Old Ancestor!
Going head-to-head right from the start!
Yet in the next instant, Li Yuanhua's words nearly made him throw out his back.
Li Yuanhua suddenly stepped forward, dropped to one knee, and wore an expression full of Sympathy for the World. "You must understand, my Heavenly Severing Island cannot compare to the thirty-six great immortal islands!
Its spiritual energy is thin, its resources barren, yet its land vast and people numerous!
Young Master, with your immortal body worth ten thousand gold, you are accustomed to the spiritual essence upon immortal islands!
Having lowered yourself to come to this filthy place, how could your body possibly endure it?"
"When this Old Servant heard that the Young Master had descended here, I was truly shocked and delighted! Though I feel boundless honor at being able to behold the Young Master's immortal countenance, whenever I think of the Young Master dwelling in such a foul and unbearable place...
My heart cannot help but ache. I have wept until my face was washed with tears!"
As he spoke, Li Yuanhua actually burst into tears, his emotions sincere and heartfelt—enough to sadden those who heard him and bring tears to those who listened.
Beside him.
Li Changhe's gaze went completely blank.
He stared dumbly at Li Yuanhua. "No, Old Ancestor, what act are you putting on?"
Smack!
A slap landed solidly on Li Changhe's face, sending him spinning three times before he sat down on the ground in a dizzy haze, utterly dumbfounded.
"You wretch, I am offering counsel to the Young Master. What right do you have to interrupt?" Li Yuanhua's face was filled with rage.
Yet he secretly transmitted his voice, "Shut up and watch me work!"
Li Changhe covered his face, baffled. "Work... work what?"
Li Yuanhua said, "Naturally, the Heavenly Path this Old Man comprehended after hundreds of years in seclusion!"
Li Changhe was even more confused. "What kind of path is that? Isn't this just kissing up?"
Li Yuanhua rebuked him fiercely, "Nonsense! The Young Master is the son of an Earth Immortal, beloved by ten thousand immortals. Can that be called kissing ass? This is kissing immortal ass!
This Old Man started from nothing back then, alone and without kin, before building this foundation. It could be said that my road was rugged to the Extreme Point!
In the end, I came to deeply understand one truth!
When you walk the world, being able to fight alone is not enough. You need power and connections!
Just watch. Today, I will have this Young Master Wang wrapped around my finger!
If he can so much as flare up even once, then consider me, Li Yuanhua, incompetent!
After today, once my Li Family clings to the Wang Family's thigh, piercing through the heavens and the earth, dominating the Northern Region, will be just around the corner!"
"..."
Their exchange of divine sense took but an instant.
Li Yuanhua hurriedly wiped away his tears, then fumbled to take an object from his Storage Bag and opened it before everyone.
"Within this box is a magical treasure named the Hundred Flowers Gathering Immortals Pearl! It can ordinarily store Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, then release it at critical moments to improve the surrounding environment, accompanied by the fragrance of a hundred flowers!"
"Once this Old Servant activates it, it should increase the spiritual energy around us by more than a hundredfold..."
"Though it still cannot compare to even one ten-thousandth of what is on the Young Master's immortal island, at least it will make this Old Servant feel somewhat better!"
"Young Master, please wait a moment. It will be ready at once, at once..."
After saying this, Li Yuanhua raised his hand and formed a spell. As several Runes entered the Spiritual Pearl.
In an instant.
The Spiritual Pearl flew above where Wang Xiu and the others stood.
A surge of dense spiritual energy, accompanied by an elegant and enchanting fragrance, instantly spread outward with Wang Xiu at its center.
