"Human Clan..." Yu Yunzhou looked up at the other corpses: "Almost killed at the same time, this strength… Lu Jin'an's doing."

"It is indeed Lu Jin'an's doing."

None of the Fox Saints present were fools, so they quickly deduced the truth, but the words of the Tushan Clan Leader made them once again turn their gaze to Yu Yunzhou.

"Indeed it's Lu Jin'an's doing, but…" The Tushan Clan Leader held a letter and looked expressionlessly at Yunshan State: "It was you who instructed him to do so. By cooperating with the Qiu Family, you let Qiu Qingtang bring him in here, quite a clever move!"

Hearing his voice, both Yu Yunzhou and Qiu Miaoyu's expressions changed.

What does Qiu Qingtang mean by this?

"Ancestor, Qing Tang, this…" Qiu Ze's face showed a slight displeasure, but he didn't say the latter half of the sentence: "intends to get you killed."

Qiu Miaoyu naturally understood what he meant, but she couldn't quite make sense of why Qiu Qingtang would do this, and what benefit it would be to her.

Was it that Qiu Qingtang controlled Lu Jin'an, or did Lu Jin'an make Qiu Qingtang willing to do anything?

"Let's go back first!" Qiu Miaoyu softly whispered, decisively leading Qiu Ze and the other Qiu Family Fox Saints away from the place.

Leaving now is not only to increase suspicion on Yu Yunzhou but also for self-preservation… Only at the Qiu's Holy Land do they have the confidence to face them directly, otherwise, staying here would be akin to waiting for death.

Yu Yunzhou expressionlessly watched Qiu Miaoyu and the other Fox Saints leave, feeling the killing intent directed at him, he calmly spoke: "Either kill Lu Jin'an, or kill me, the choice is yours…

Whether to incur the Demon Lord's wrath depends entirely on your decision."

After saying this, he flew directly into the air, heading towards the Yousu Fox Clan's direction.

"Tushan Clan Leader, what will you choose?" Hua Yingyue asked softly.

"If he is unrighteous, don't blame me for being unscrupulous." The Tushan Clan Leader snorted coldly: "He kills his Lu Jin'an, I will destroy my Yu Family's Fox Clan…

Our Fox Clan cannot be manipulated by a mere word from Zhu Tianqi!"

"In that case, I happen to know a few important strongholds of the Yu Family…" Hua Yingyue laughed lightly: "Would you like to accompany me?"

"Let's go!"

······

Qingqiu Holy Land.

Qiu Qingtang effortlessly led Lu Jin'an to the place he wanted to go.

"Are you really setting up a spatial node here?"

"Yes."

"Speaking of which, Qingqiu isn't exactly close to the Dragon Clan, why set up a node here?"

Qiu Qingtang asked curiously: "What if later on, when you come to the Demon Clan, you get blocked on the way to the Dragon Clan?"

Lu Jin'an smiled: "Zhiyu will come here."

"Hmm?"

"She listens to me."

"But she's not strong enough."

"It depends on how the Cang Qinglong Saint chooses."

"Alright." Qiu Qingtang didn't pursue it further. She then changed the topic, smiling sweetly: "The Fox Clan is now in complete chaos, bringing me a step closer to my goal~"

"You leveraged Qiu Miaoyu's plan to initiate this, then had Yu Yunzhou unify the Fox Clan, ultimately standing against him as he fully throws himself to the Ancient Court to become the true master of the Fox Clan…"

Lu Jin'an straightened up: "Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble? With your talent, once you become a Fox Saint, your strength won't be any less, right?"

Qiu Qingtang nodded slightly: "Doing so is too exhausting, I don't really want to waste my time on such matters, so then…

Saint Lu, you must become the 'Eternal Wise Monarch' who earns the beauty's smile~"

"Is it that simple?"

"Just that simple."

"Alright."

Lu Jin'an said no more: "Then let us depart."

"Alright~"

······

As Lu Jin'an embarked on his return journey, Yun Meng Cliff of the Wandao Sect also welcomed a special guest.

Clad in a blue and white Hezi skirt, Zhu Nanzhi moved with brisk steps through every corner of Yun Meng Cliff, a faint smile playing on her lips as she occasionally entered doorways or peeked out from behind large rocks, softly calling "husband."

Upon not finding Lu Jin'an, rather than disappointment, her face lit up with more joy.

Xiao Yinruo and Mu Qingyue watched silently, the former feeling somewhat creeped out for some reason, while the latter found it amusing.

To Mu Qingyue, it was the first time seeing Zhu Nanzhi show such a side of herself, reminding her of herself, giving rise to a sense of destiny.

The fact that she and Zhu Nanzhi became 'sisters' was probably something that had been destined all along.

In matters of emotion, there is a bit of madness.

"Aunt Ruo, are you scared?" Mu Qingyue smiled slightly, pointed at the fox spirits on Yun Meng Cliff forced to gather by Zhu Nanzhi: "Your good disciple... might embarrass us."

"..."

Xiao Yinruo remained silent, just imagining herself being 'punished' by Nanzhi made her shiver.

She felt a bit of a headache, how did Nanzhi grow so crooked in this aspect?

"So, Aunt Ruo, remember to cooperate well with me~" Mu Qingyue added meaningfully.

Xiao Yinruo glanced at her without saying much, while at this moment, Zhu Nanzhi, who had searched every corner of Yun Meng Cliff, approached with a joyful smile: "They all say my husband indulges in revelry, but I don't see it. Apart from Zhiyu undergoing the Crossing Tribulation, my husband isn't even here~"

Xiao Yinruo's eyelids twitched, shouldn't you put Zhan Ming away before saying that?

"What are you planning to do?" Mu Qingyue pointed at the group of fox spirits.

Zhu Nanzhi blinked: "Not much, since my husband hasn't spoken, how could I overstep?"

"Let's go~"

With that, Zhu Nanzhi took the lead, heading in the direction of Taichu Peak.

Xiao Yinruo sighed lightly in her heart, she could feel Nanzhi's change. Towards this group of fox demons, Nanzhi was definitely angry, but at the same time, she respected Lu Jin'an's wishes...

Nanzhi was probably afraid of spending less time with Lu Jin'an...

As she pondered, the three of them soon arrived at Taichu Peak, Zhu Nanzhi paused at first, then drifted lightly toward Fuyao Inn: "There's a strange woman..."

Mu Qingyue followed second, while Xiao Yinruo hesitated a bit and decided to find Pei Wanyu, after all, if she followed too, it would be too obvious.

Adding unnecessary suspicion.

Upon arriving at Huangyu Palace, she looked at Pei Wanyu: "Fuyao Inn..."

"Just in time." Pei Wanyu smiled and grabbed her wrist, heading toward Fuyao Inn: "Come with me to see what tricks that woman is up to."

Inside Fuyao Inn.

As Zhu Nanzhi and Mu Qingyue walked into the courtyard, they immediately saw the striking red attire.

Behind the stone table, sitting in the main seat, Lu Yunzhu raised her eyes to look at Zhu Nanzhi and Mu Qingyue, her gaze lingered longest on Mu Qingyue's face.

She slightly raised her hand, and the black cloth covering Mu Qingyue's eyes silently fell, she looked her up and down but couldn't see any resemblance.

But even with the truth in front of her, Lu Yunzhu still didn't believe it.

But where is the problem?

Lu Yunzhu withdrew her gaze, fiddling with the tea set on the table, as the aroma of tea gradually rose.

Zhu Nanzhi looked at the silent Lu Yunzhu, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes; the first impression Lu Yunzhu gave her was only two words: perfect.

She didn't believe in complete perfection, but Lu Yunzhu gave her such a feeling, an indescribable sense of perfection...

Mu Qingyue slightly furrowed her brows, feeling hostility from Lu Yunzhu's gaze.

This hostility made her a bit unsure if the woman in front of her was Junior Brother's sister, Lu Yunzhu.

After all, Lu Yunzhu didn't show hostility to Zhu Nanzhi... that's abnormal.

Therefore, Mu Qingyue didn't speak immediately but pondered what conflict she could have with the other...

"Who are you?" Zhu Nanzhi asked directly: "Are you..."

Before she could finish, Lu Yunzhu raised her hand to interrupt Zhu Nanzhi, pouring tea as she said: "Zhu Nanzhi, Mu Qingyue, all these years...

Thank you two for taking care of my Jin'an."

As soon as she finished, Zhu Nanzhi immediately retorted: "Not just these years, we'll always take care of him... my husband isn't yours!"

Lu Yunzhu looked at Zhu Nanzhi with interest, feeling that Zhu Nanzhi's possessiveness was most like her own, and her reaction was just as expected, yes, like... it's easy to have topics to talk about.

"No need for such a big reaction." Lu Yunzhu said lightly: "Also...

It's not good to speak to an elder sister with that attitude."

"Who are you calling sis..."

Zhu Nanzhi instinctively wanted to continue refuting; she was the one who loved her husband most, not even Mu Qingyue, his Senior Sister, could come before her, so why...

But pausing in thought, she then realized.

Lu Yunzhu?

Is she really the elder sister?

Behind the wall, Pei Wanyu couldn't help but laugh: "I say, since when do you enjoy bullying your juniors?"

Lu Yunzhu's gaze swept lightly over Pei Wanyu and Xiao Yinruo, speaking blandly: "What, aren't you calling me 'sister'?"

Pei Wanyu could no longer laugh.
