Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 183 - 115: Overbearing Suppression

"Please forgive me, my real name is not Lv Wu, but Fan Wubing."

"No problem at all, using an alias when going out is very normal."

Fan Wubing's method of subjugation was actually quite simple, four words,

"Overwhelming strength."

In the past, just relying on the unstable cultivation gained from the Blood Burning Skill and various augmentation divine techniques, he could fight and kill opponents several minor realms higher. Now, with the Blood Tribulation Death Immortal Technique, he had a true foundation, a perfect one at that, and his strength had increased by more than just a level... Moreover, perhaps related to the Blood Tribulation Death Immortal Technique, he found himself seemingly more adept at battling Demon Cultivators.

After Liu Yu revealed his demonic body, although he had a cultivation of the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul, in front of him, he was full of flaws, even inferior to Lu Jingyao, who was at the Seventh-Layer Nascent Soul.

This only suggested,

Perhaps the Blood Tribulation Death Immortal Technique had an "essential" restraint on Demon Cultivators.

Moreover, because of the Blood Tribulation Death Immortal Technique, the devouring speed of Swallowing Stars and Chewing Moon had also greatly increased. Just after catching Liu Yu in the air, he broke through his Protective Gang Qi and immediately drained his demonic power, fiercely adding 1,210,239 points of blood.

The total blood volume now has risen to 2,843,126 points. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Now at the Fifth-Layer Nascent Soul.

The speed was so fast that even Fan Wubing was a bit shocked.

He quickly realized that the reason for adding 1.2 million blood at once was due to the Blood Tribulation Death Immortal Technique's ability "Cultivator of Death Immortal," with a cultivation speed twice that of normal.

"This speed of cultivation really resembles that of Demon Cultivators..." he couldn't help but think. But he didn't feel any psychological burden about it; being a Demon Cultivator was fine. He had his own views on distinguishing between good and evil.

He also knew that personal views were often linked with strength.

Only by walking further on the Great Dao and seeing more can he not be defined by others as a Demon Cultivator.

"Once my soul strength increases, I will cultivate even faster..."

Fan Wubing once again realized profoundly how important the soul was.

...

Zuo Junliang temporarily suppressed the matters of Liu Yu and Lu Jingyao, without making too much of a commotion.

These days, he acted decisively and quickly, suppressing the situation aggressively before Tingyu Tower received the news. It could only be said that the Canglang Country's court had long wanted to act against Tingyu Tower but had not found the right reason. Now, with the tremendous reason of colluding with Demon Cultivators delivered to them, they only needed to close the net immediately.

Tingyu Tower's roots were quite deep and broad, implicating many officials of various sizes.

For a moment, from top to bottom, Canglang Country was in a state of great unease.

However, Zuo Junliang did not touch the officials implicated, only eliminating Tingyu Tower's core and all factions directly related. He deserved to be a person assisting in state affairs; he handled the matter excellently, thoroughly removing the thorn of Tingyu Tower without letting the political structure of the court be too affected.

For most officials, it was just that they heard about Tingyu Tower's fall last night, and the next day everything was back to normal.

But as for the Immortal Dao Bureau, which was relatively independent outside the court, it was turned upside down.

This day, Zuo Junliang had some free time, and immediately found Fan Wubing, bringing him into the Imperial City.

On the way, Fan Wubing asked, "What exactly is going on with that Demon Cultivator?"

Zuo Junliang gave a wry smile, "It can be considered a historical issue. Tingyu Tower was originally set up by the former Emperor as an intelligence agency during times of domestic unrest and instability, with much power granted. Later, when His Majesty ascended the throne, he attempted to dismantle Tingyu Tower's power structure gradually due to their extensive involvement. Over the years, Tingyu Tower had declined, gradually being excluded from the core of power."

He sighed, "But who would have thought? Liu Yu, with an ill-intentioned heart, had control over too much compromising information about court officials. Afraid of being reckoned with, he was always anxious, solely focused on enhancing his strength for self-protection, and thus chose the path of the Demon Dao."

"Just because of this? What a misguided choice."

"Ordinary people indeed wouldn't do this. But Liu Yu was not ordinary. Originally a eunuch, perhaps triggered by some unknown past, he had psychological issues, seemingly always feeling that someone was out to get him. There were often rumors of him cruelly mistreating his subordinates."

"And yet he was placed in charge of Tingyu Tower?"

"Because the inception of Tingyu Tower during tumultuous times wasn't honorable; its tasks weren't honorable, so naturally, it could only be managed by dishonorable people..."

"Alright then. But why did the General Director of the Immortal Dao Bureau collude with him?"

Zuo Junliang stated, "Because Lu Jingyao could become the General Director due to Liu Yu's support. Liu Yu provided him with a vast network of contacts and cultivation resources, firmly taking hold of his weaknesses."

"No wonder." Fan Wubing chuckled, "Court affairs, truly a densely woven and complex web."

Zuo Junliang offered a wry smile, "It's truly a farce." He sighed, "Indeed... That's why, Wubing, we envy you pure Immortal disciples who can wholeheartedly pursue the Great Dao. A remarkable talent like you entering the Jianghu far surpasses entering the court."

"The Prime Minister is flattering me."

Zuo Junliang shook his head, not saying more. He wasn't flattering, but truly spoke from the heart, perhaps harboring a talent-lover's mindset, sincerely wishing for Fan Wubing to walk freely and unburdened on the Great Dao, undisturbed by worldly affairs.

He asked, "Are you here for the Seventh Princess?"

"Yes."

"She is currently in the Valley of the Water Spirit, Canglang Country's Royal Sacred Land. Before seeing her, you might have to meet His Majesty first."

Fan Wubing inquired, "Manman's father?"

"Yes."

"What is his attitude?"

"Although a monarch's mind is hard to fathom, with my understanding of His Majesty, he should like you greatly."

"Like?"

"Yes." Zuo Junliang smiled, "I watched His Majesty grow up. I know most clearly, he once was also a youth like you. All actions came from the heart. Rest assured and go."

"Alright."

With leisurely steps, under the cover of night, the old and the young arrived outside the Imperial Study of Canglang Country's Monarch.

"Your Majesty, Fan Wubing has arrived."

A gentle voice came from inside, "Please come in."

Please?

How polite for an Emperor?

Fan Wubing pushed the door open and entered. Once in, he saw a middle-aged man, relatively young, sitting at the table, holding a fine brush, reviewing memorials.

After a brief moment.

Canglang Country's Monarch, Fu Jing, closed the report, looked at Fan Wubing, and smiled, "It's just the two of us, no need to regard me as Emperor. Please sit."
