Returning Home!

In the dimly lit underground cave.

An inexplicable, mysterious fluctuation enveloped the cave, causing time to reverse within it.

"The master and mistress are both dead. It was Motai Xiao. I recognize his voice."

"The fire was huge that night. I took advantage of the chaos to grab a few things and hide in the cellar."

"Dead, all dead."

"And the young lady, only a little over a year old, such a lovely baby girl. They're all dead, all dead..."

More than seventy years ago, the scenes that unfolded before the old man with the bulbous nose died were being replayed across time.

The middle-aged man transformed from the god and demon ' Lu Wu ' had an extremely pale face, which was originally sallow, and his aura was less than one-tenth of what it was before.

Looking at the human man in front of him who was casting the ' Time Reversal Art ' spell, his eyes were filled with shock and horror.

"This monster..."

The time-manipulation spell, which only a normal celestial being could cast, was used by the Myriad Manifestations True Person; what else could he be but a monster?

Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding.

If it weren't for the misunderstanding, his soul would probably have been completely annihilated by now.

Ling Qianxue watched silently.

With her cultivation level Myriad Phenomena True Person of Myriad Manifestations, she could recall even memories from her very birth.

The old man with the chapped nose in the flashback scene was, in her vague memory, the old servant from her own household.

Wow~~~

The light faded, time resumed, and the cave returned to darkness.

"I showed you this only out of consideration for our past friendship Loose Immortal Hongchen, so you would know the truth and not mistake a traitor for your father." Zhou Hao looked at Ling Qianxue. "Believe it or not, it's up to you. If you want to continue your revenge, come find me in Antan Commandery. But next time, I won't hold back."

"Thank you." Ling Qianxue nodded gently.

It's unclear whether she was thanking Zhou Hao for telling her the truth or for indirectly avenging her parents.

But for Zhou Hao, none of that mattered anymore.

He only sought peace of mind in his actions, and since he was a stranger to Ling Qianxue, he probably wouldn't see her again in the future.

"Let's go." Zhou Hao took Liu Yu's hand, and ripples spread through the space as the two disappeared from the underground cave.

"Miss," the middle-aged man, 'Uncle Lu,' said in a low voice, "This old servant is quite seriously injured this time. Let's return to the South Sea."

"I'm not going back." Ling Qianxue shook her head. "I still need to see Senior Sister Yunzhu. Uncle Lu, if you want to go back to the South Sea, then go back by yourself."

That oppressive sect, apart from her master, only held her any attachment; everything else only evoked her disgust.

"Daoist Yun Zhu?" Fang Bo was taken aback. "Her Daoist temple is in the Beiming Sea."

It is in the Beiming Sea.

That place is the furthest from the South Sea...

Ling Qianxue transformed into a stream of light and flew out of the ground. Upon seeing this, Fang Bo quickly flew out to follow.

Back in Xiangcao Valley, Zhou Hao and Liu Yu stayed for another day before finally leaving.

At this time, news of Zhou Hao's destruction of the Blood God Sect and the revelation of his Void Return Divine Demon Avatar in Antan Commandery had spread throughout Guangling City after Jiang Sheng's return from his adventures.

The Marquis of Guangling's Estate was filled with joy upon learning that the two had confirmed their relationship as Daoist partners.

Liu Yu's elder sister and brother-in-law, the Marquis of Marquis of Guangling wife, prepared generous gifts and kept the two of them for several more days before embarking on their journey back to Antan Commandery.

During this period, high-ranking officials from various powerful tribes in Guangling City came to pay their respects, which will not be detailed here.

For half the people, these might be a source of honor, a demonstration of strength and status.

But for Zhou Hao now, it's just an ordinary matter, not worth mentioning.

Buzz~~~

In Antan Commandery, the teleportation tower array in the Red Dragon Mountain Range suddenly lit up.

"Someone's coming."

The guards of the Yinglong Guard on duty looked over.

"So many people."

A large, dark mass of people appeared inside the teleportation array. There were 360 elegantly dressed and beautiful maids alone, and thousands more servants of various kinds, such as those engaged in cultivation and horticulture, raising spirit beasts, cooking and pastry making, and tailoring and embroidery. All sorts of spirit beasts were also brought over by Zhou Hao in his Small Universe Sphere.

These are not ordinary servants in the mortal world; they are all servants of immortal cultivators accumulated by the Marquis of Guangling's Estate over countless years. The weakest among them has a cultivation level of the Innate Realm, and the steward is even Purple Mansion Cultivator.

Although their combat strength is not strong, they each have their own specialties in areas such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Just like the blue robe Zhou Hao is wearing now, it looks simple and no different from ordinary clothes.

However, if a young master from a powerful tribe like Beishan Baiwei were to examine it, he would discover that the silk threads of this blue robe were made from the whiskers of the Azure Dragon of the East Sea.

Such a powerful demon dragon's whiskers could be used as material to refine Earth-Grade Dharma Treasure, yet it was only used to sew clothes, not for any other reason than to highlight its extravagance.

Ji Jinle once said with envy that even if he were to establish his own household in the future, his parents, the Marquis of Guangling and his wife, might not prepare for him with such high standards.

Wow~~~

The head maid, Qingyun, waved her hand and released a large, luxurious puppet ship.

"Please, young master and young lady, board the ship." Three hundred and sixty maids lined up in two rows and bowed in unison.

Zhou Hao, along with Liu Yu, Yun Yuchan, Lin Xia'er, boarded the large ship, followed by a group of maids.

Soon, the puppet ship sailed away from the Red Dragon Mountain Range and headed towards Antan City.

"That is... the Inspector General, the Immortal of Changsheng."

The Yinglong Guard didn't come to their senses until the puppet ship had left.

If they hadn't met Zhou Hao before, they would have thought this was the most powerful and influential Beishan Clan traveling together.

"Quickly inform Immortal Dongshi that Immortal Changsheng has returned!"

On the puppet ship.

Liu Yu looked at Zhou Hao Zhou Hao, as if trying to see if there were any moles on his face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Hao smiled and pulled her closer.

"Senior brother, I was afraid you wouldn't like sister's arrangements, that you'd think it's too ostentatious," Liu Yu said cautiously, nestled close to Zhou Hao.

"Whether you're flamboyant or low-key, as long as you feel comfortable, that's what matters," Zhou Hao said with a smile. "Of course, I wouldn't pursue material things on my own, but this is your sister's wish; she doesn't want you to feel wronged, and naturally, so do I."

"My sister said that with my senior brother's strength, he could easily accept the honor of being granted a title in a prefecture, so this is nothing. She also said, she also said..." A hint of shyness and embarrassment appeared on Liu Yu's face.

"What else is there to say?" Zhou Hao asked with great interest.

"And you say," Liu Yu said in a voice barely above a whisper, "That once we have offspring, it would be commonplace for us to become a top-tier clan."

"That's not bad either," Zhou Hao joked with a smile. "Then we'll be the great-grandparents."

"What 'old mother'? That sounds awful."

Liu Yu was extremely embarrassed, but she was also very happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"Ahem." Lin Xia'er's voice rang out at an inopportune moment, "Senior brothers and sisters, if you want to flirt, you should at least consider that Senior Sister Jade Cicada and I are still here."

Yun Yuchan, standing to the side, didn't speak, but her eyes were full of smiles.

These days, she's been spending time with the others, and unlike before when she was in the Windfire Sect, she's no longer seen as a monster or an oddity by her fellow disciples. Her mood has become increasingly cheerful.

Besides, if we're really talking about monsters and outcasts, who could be more monstrous than this man in front of us?

The three women laughed and joked for a while, then got down to business.

"Senior brother, senior sister," Lin Xia'er said, "I've arrived in the Xia Clan Great World, and I'm currently in Antan City and Guangling City. I haven't been to any other places yet."

"I also want to travel around and see the sights," Yun Yuchan said.

Now that Zhou Hao and Liu Yu have become a Daoist couple, they're like newlyweds in the mortal world. The two girls who follow them around not only fail to gain any experience but also get in the way...

"Do you two junior sisters have any plans?" Zhou Hao asked.

"I've discussed it with Senior Sister Jade Cicada Chan. We can Yinglong Guard and go on adventures in various places with a specific purpose. We can also travel together with the senior and junior sisters from the Black-White Academy," Lin Xia'er said.

Previously, when Zhou Hao was cultivating his Dao at the Black-White Academy, the two of them got to know some of the academy's female disciples.

She also heard some senior sisters who had been cultivating for a long time talk about discovering the relics of their predecessors in some place, or about wandering and fighting for more than ten years, killing hundreds of other cultivators and obtaining countless treasures. As someone born in the Profound Heaven Realm, Lin Xia'er had long yearned for the Xia Clan Great World, so she was naturally quite looking forward to it.

"It's good to go out and explore the world," Zhou Hao nodded. "Have East Stone send over a list of tasks, and you can choose from them."

With their strength as inner disciples, they were among the stronger Myriad Phenomena of the Black-White Academy, and with their status Yinglong Guard, they were not afraid of ordinary dangers.

As everyone talked, dreaming about the adventures they would encounter on their journey, the puppet ship soon arrived above the Changsheng Estate in Antan City.

Zhou Hao pointed to the spacious mansion below and said to Liu Yu, "This will be our home from now on."

"Hmm." Liu Yu nodded gently, looking at the rows of pavilions and towers, her eyes filled with longing.

Zhou Hao instructed Qingyun to arrange all the maids and servants, and was about to take Liu Yu and the others to tour the mansion when he received a report from a guard that the Immortal Dongshi had arrived.

"Immortal of Changsheng, a jade token and oral decree from the Kyoto headquarters have been delivered to you by the ' Left King '."

Upon meeting, the Immortal Dongshi respectfully handed Zhou Hao a yellow jade talisman.

It's the weekend, so Rong Suifeng is spending time with the kids.

There will be another update tonight.
