Chapter 687: Chapter 326: Thousand Mechanism Skill Entry Level, Divine Sense Soaring

"Yes, Elder Yan need not worry."

The Golden Core Elder respectfully replied, eyes flashing with awe and admiration.

Subsequently, Xu Ping symbolically patrolled around the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to reassure the people.

His presence was like a towering mountain, bringing peace to the heart.

The disciples, who were initially terrified due to True Monarch Yun Qing’s demise, gradually calmed down after seeing Xu Ping’s calm and composed figure.

The tense and fearful atmosphere that permeated everywhere in the mountain gate slowly melted away like snow meeting the sun.

A strong figure capable of fighting two Nascent Soul True Monarchs alone was enough to give them immense confidence.

After completing the patrol, Xu Ping returned to the Celestial Cyan Peak.

As time went on, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons gradually returned to calm.

Although the shadow of True Monarch Yun Qing’s demise still loomed over the sect, with Xu Ping, a strong figure stationed there, and the defensive formation of the mountain tight, the disciples’ daily routines had gradually returned to normal.

...

A month and a half later, in the morning.

A blue Escape Light streaked across the sky above the main peak of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, as dazzling and brilliant as a meteor, heading straight for the main hall.

True Monarch Lan Ling returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons in a travel-worn state.

Although days of hurried travel made her appear slightly fatigued, the bearing of a Nascent Soul Cultivator remained extraordinary.

After returning to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, True Monarch Lan Ling did not immediately go to visit Xu Ping but first summoned a trusted elder.

"Did Elder Yan make any special moves after returning to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?" True Monarch Lan Ling asked calmly, looking at the trusted Golden Core Elder before her.

"Reporting to True Monarch."

The slightly plump Golden Core Elder respectfully replied, "After Elder Yan returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, he has been in closed-door cultivation at the Celestial Cyan Peak and has made no moves except for patrolling the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons upon his return."

He slightly bowed and continued to report, "Several elders went to visit during this period, intending to express gratitude or discuss sect affairs, but all were gently declined."

Hearing this, True Monarch Lan Ling felt a slight relief, and her tense expression softened somewhat.

It appeared that this Elder Yan indeed had no ambition for power, as aligned with her initial judgment.

If there were any ulterior motives, how could he not take advantage of the excellent opportunity presented by Yun Qing’s demise and her absence from the valley to win hearts and gather alliances with the elders?

But Elder Yan, instead of that, focused solely on protecting the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and solely on cultivation, earning a new-level of respect.

"How about the other affairs in the valley?" True Monarch Lan Ling asked again.

The Golden Core Elder then detailed the various matters that occurred in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons during this period.

After listening, True Monarch Lan Ling gently nodded, signaling for him to withdraw.

The Golden Core Elder respectfully made a salute and then quietly withdrew from the main hall, leaving True Monarch Lan Ling alone in deep thought.

"Alas..."

She sighed softly, her beautiful face showing a trace of fatigue.

True Monarch Yun Qing was not only her direct disciple but also the future pillar of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, and now suddenly they were gone—how could her heart not ache?

Moreover, after Yun Qing fell, the internal balance of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was already broken.

The Earth Elephant Demon Monarch was advanced in years and had little life left; if he also passed away, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons would have only her, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, left to withstand the forces that had long coveted them.

"Now, I can only rely on Daoist Yan and the Purple Abyss Demon Monarch."

Thinking of this, a complex look flashed in True Monarch Lan Ling’s lovely eyes, filled with helplessness, expectation, and an indescribable concern.

The strength of Yan Ruchen was already enough to equal the peak of the Early-stage Nascent Soul, and with his Spirit Pet that had awakened a Divine Power Seal, he was likely the strongest combat power in the valley.

Still... could such a powerful cultivator willingly reside under others?

After a moment of thought, True Monarch Lan Ling adjusted her attire and mindset: "It’s time to visit Daoist Yan."

...

Soon, at the top of Celestial Cyan Peak.

A graceful figure clad in a purple robe descended lightly onto the summit platform like a fairy coming down to the world.

"True Monarch Lan Ling, please."

Xu Ping welcomed True Monarch Lan Ling, in a slightly haggard purple palace dress, to the main hall’s head seat.

He then sat beneath her, his gaze full of concern.

Seeing this Elder Yan who remained respectful, True Monarch Lan Ling felt a warmth in her heart.

Despite the fact that his strength might already surpass hers, he still maintained the proper etiquette and did not let his might lead to arrogance; such cultivation and composure were indeed rare.

"True Monarch, please accept my condolences." Xu Ping gently consoled.

True Monarch Lan Ling sat upright, the silk sash and skirt fluttering lightly with her movements, outlining a graceful curve, her demeanor dignified and elegant, though her beautiful face showed obvious sorrow.

"Alas, with Yun Qing’s demise and the Earth Elephant Demon Monarch’s limited lifespan, in the future, the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons will likely rely on you and the Purple Abyss Demon Monarch to bear the burden and face the coming storms together."

Her eyes, like pale purple stars, gazed at Xu Ping, her voice carrying a sigh.

"As a member of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the Water Lake Mouse and I should, of course, do our part without hesitation."

Xu Ping spoke solemnly, with earnest words, "However, True Monarch is always the backbone of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. The Water Lake Mouse and I are only doing what is necessary."

His words were impeccable, showing his stance and attitude while giving True Monarch Lan Ling the respect and support she deserved.

Hearing this, True Monarch Lan Ling displayed a faint smile that could capture hearts.

"Ruchen, there’s no need to be so formal. From now on, address me simply as True Monarch."

Her voice softened a bit, adding a touch of closeness, "Privately, you may call me Zhaoxue."

"Zhaoxue?"

Xu Ping’s heart stirred, and a subtle light flashed in his eyes.

This change in address by True Monarch Lan Ling was akin to closing the distance between them.

Normally, such an act would suffice to render any Golden Core Cultivator overjoyed with favor.
