"Heavenly Evil Cudgel Technique!"
Wang Xie took out a Star Grade Top Rank long cudgel and unleashed the Heavenly Evil Sect's Emperor Technique: Heavenly Evil Cudgel Technique.
"Mysterious Ice Sword Technique!"
"White Flame Saber Technique!"
Gu Changge switched weapons twice in rapid succession. The Azure Rainbow Sword and Flowing Bright Saber shifted continuously as he unleashed two Emperor Techniques.
Because of his clash with Gu Changge, Wang Xie could no longer keep fleeing. The Liuli Divine Dynasty's imperial descendants behind him urged their spirit eagles onward and caught up to him.
At this moment, Wang Xie had fallen into an awkward predicament—wolves before him and tigers behind him, unable to advance or retreat.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully interrupting Son of Heaven's Mandate Wang Xie's path of rise. Wang Xie's Destiny Value has decreased by 30 points. Host rewarded with 300 System Points."
A system notification sounded.
"So it is His Highness the Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty."
Yu Ningyan recognized Gu Changge and spoke.
"Damn it, Gu Changge, is it? I'll remember today's grudge."
Wang Xie spoke hatefully.
"Even if all of you join forces to hunt me down, I still have a way to escape."
As Wang Xie spoke, he raised his right thumb before his mouth and bit down hard, drawing several drops of blood. He quickly began drawing a formation on the ground.
"Heavenly Evil Killing Array, rise!"
The Heavenly Evil Killing Array, as Wang Xie's Heavenly Mandate Treasure, was an extremely powerful formation. Wang Xie had previously consumed spiritual materials to set it up. Now, the formation had become a small Formation Disk, and with Wang Xie's blood as the pact, it could be activated once more.
In an instant, a vast blood-colored formation enveloped everyone present. A great number of blood-colored puppets continuously emerged within the killing array, wielding crimson spears as they charged at the crowd.
"Not good. What a powerful formation! The might of this killing array is enough to rival the attack of a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator. And these blood-colored puppets—each one possesses at least the strength of the fifth level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm."
An imperial disciple of the Liuli Divine Dynasty spoke with a grave expression.
"You think you're the only one with formations and puppets?"
Gu Changge said coldly. He then released the Formation Disk of the Sky Locking Formation, and a silver-white grand formation sealed off the area.
Then, Gu Changge released six puppets at the eighth level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. Facing these blood-colored puppets that were only at the fifth level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, they dealt with them without the slightest effort.
Immediately afterward, Gu Changge released four Demonic Beasts. All four were at the first level of the Qi Condensation Realm, and each one could rival the power of the Heavenly Evil Killing Array. Before long, several cracks appeared in the formation, which could barely withstand the attacks of Gu Changge's Demonic Beasts.
However, Wang Xie had never intended to use the Heavenly Evil Killing Array to kill Gu Changge and the others. All these methods served only one purpose: escape.
While everyone was busy dodging the killing array and battling the blood-colored puppets, Wang Xie hurriedly slipped out of the formation and fled north.
After another short while, the Heavenly Evil Killing Array continuously shrank, transforming into a small Formation Disk. Like a streak of light, it flew in the direction Wang Xie had fled.
"Damn it, he still got away."
An imperial descendant of the Liuli Divine Dynasty said resentfully.
Several other imperial descendants wanted to pursue Wang Xie northward, but Gu Changge raised a hand to stop them.
"Do not pursue a desperate foe."
Gu Changge said.
Having hunted Sons of Heaven's Mandate before, Gu Changge knew well that before a Son of Heaven's Mandate's Destiny Value had been completely cleared, they were practically immortal. If they rashly pursued Wang Xie now, he would certainly have other means of escape. Failing to capture Wang Xie would be a minor matter; being captured by the Heavenly Evil Sect would be the real disaster.
"Thank you for today's matter, Your Highness."
Yu Ningyan said.
At that moment, the system notification sounded.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for triggering a random mission: Subdue Yu Ningyan as a maidservant (0/1)."
"It is nothing. If you truly wish to repay me, then why not become my maidservant?"
Because of the system, Gu Changge could only speak this way.
"How can that be? Ningyan is a princess of our Liuli Divine Dynasty. If the princess were made someone else's maidservant, would that not invite ridicule?"
One of Yu Ningyan's cousins, a disciple of a Prince and Marquis, said.
"Exactly. Although you are a Prince of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty and the heir of a towering power with Five Emperors, if you truly like Sister Ningyan, you may send someone to propose marriage. You should not be so hasty."
One of Yu Ningyan's younger female cousins said.
"We should ask for her own opinion."
At this moment, Gu Changge's maidservant, Lin Ni Yu, said.
"I..."
Yu Ningyan hesitated. During her two encounters with Gu Changge, he had displayed extraordinary methods. Combined with his handsome appearance, otherworldly bearing, and exceptional background, if it had been any other woman, she would likely have long since fallen beneath Gu Changge's sway upon hearing such words.
Seeing the sincerity in Gu Changge's eyes, Yu Ningyan felt at a loss.
"I... I am willing."
Although she knew Gu Changge had many maidservants, Yu Ningyan was still unable to refuse such an outstanding man, so she answered thus.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the random mission: Subdue Yu Ningyan as a maidservant (1/1). Reward: 300 System Points and one Liuli Fan (Emperor Grade Low Rank)."
Thus, Gu Changge brought along his newly subdued maidservant, Yu Ningyan. Together with his two original maidservants, Ye Muqing and Lin Ni Yu, they once again boarded the flying sword and flew toward the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty.
"I hope we won't encounter any more mishaps during this flight."
Ye Muqing said at this moment.
"The three of you should cover for me. With three Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivators present, there should not be any more accidents."
Gu Changge said.
Thus, the three women remained alert atop the flying sword, keeping a close watch on their surroundings. In the end, they arrived safely at the imperial city of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty.
"So this is the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty."
"What a magnificent imperial city. It is far more imposing than the imperial city of the Lingxu Divine Dynasty from before."
Lin Ni Yu and Ye Muqing said as they followed Gu Changge into the imperial city of the Qianyuan Divine Dynasty.
Gu Changge brought the three women to his Prince's Mansion.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Gu Changge knocked on the gates of the Prince's Mansion.
"Creak—"
The gates opened, and an exquisitely beautiful woman approached. It was Murong Yuechun.
"His Highness the Prince has returned!"
Murong Yuechun said joyfully.
"Master has returned?"
"Master has finally returned!"
Upon hearing Murong Yuechun's words, the other three Murong sisters, along with Ling Yanran, Jiang Yingluo, Li Xianhan, and Su Luowei, all came running over at once—a scene like a garden bursting with spring.
Apart from the Murong Four Sisters, everyone else had relinquished their former positions after becoming Gu Changge's maidservants and devoted themselves to being qualified maidservants of the Prince's Mansion.
Now that they saw Gu Changge had returned, all the women revealed joyful smiles.
