"You have to save me, Lord Bai."
Yuan Langtian's face was bloodless, and his voice came out in a crying sound as he gripped Bai Lingtian's hand tightly.
"Alas!"
Bai Lingtian heaved a deep sigh.
At the same time, he shook off Yuan Langtian's palm and shook his head: "Unless the Wu Tian King can show mercy, no one can save you from this."
"But, but I have committed such a big crime, and it all started because of you!" Yuan Langtian shouted unwillingly.
"It is true that this matter arose because of me, but you must also understand what the consequences would be for the future of both families if we both went down, and the Yuan and Bai families lost their backbone?" Bai Lingtian's pupils contracted as he stared at Yuan Langtian and said word for word.
Hearing this, Yuan Langtian was like being struck by lightning. His face turned pale as he slumped to the ground.
If it was really as Bai Lingtian said, then the consequences were really unimaginable.
Without the backbone, the two big families would sooner or later be targeted by others, leading to decline and falling into the abyss, eventually disappearing in the long river of time.
"Fortunately, I came to my senses in time and did not make a big mistake!"
Bai Lingtian sighed, "So rest assured, if the Wu Tian King really gets angry because of this and sentences you to death, I will help you support the Yuan family until a backbone appears in your Yuan family who can hold the situation."
"Okay...okay!"
Although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, Yuan Langtian had no choice but to nod his head with difficulty.
"Just now when I asked for an audience, the gentleman ignored it, presumably because he did not want to see little people like us, so I must report to the King as soon as possible!" Bai Lingtian said solemnly again: "So I have to leave immediately. As for you, hurry back to the Yuan family to explain things, and then wait for the King's judgement!"
"Alright!"
Yuan Langtian nodded with a withered expression on his face.
Bai Lingtian patted Yuan Langtian on the shoulder and whispered, "Let's go, I'll send Shadow to go with you to deal with some tricky things as soon as possible..."
"Wait..."
"Shadow?"
When he thought of Shadow, he suddenly remembered another thing that made him feel terrible.
And Yuan Langtian, whose face was withered, also glared.
The two looked at each other inadvertently.
Apparently.
They both thought of this at the same time.
Because at the banquet that night, in addition to talking about that gentleman, the Wu Tian King also mentioned another person.
Recalling the scene that night, it was vivid in their minds.
The Wu Tian King sat at the head of the table with a lazy attitude and a hint of drunkenness in his eyes, which were full of memories and reluctance.
He said: If that gentleman was his enlightenment teacher on the path of cultivation, then this one was his good big brother.
His good big brother was not tall, was the gentleman's servant, and would always be dressed in loose black robes by the gentleman, looking ridiculous.
But despite this appearance, he was the strongest master I have ever seen except for the gentleman.
Even though I am now the number one person in the empire, I am no match for even one finger of my big brother.
My big brother liked women.
Liked wine.
Liked song and dance.
Liked music.
When he said this, they clearly remembered the Wu Tian King waving his hand and shouting to them: "Don't stop the music, keep playing, keep dancing!"
The scene was joyful and the atmosphere was hot, while the Wu Tian King unabashedly said to everyone: "I still remember that my first time was because my good big brother stole 30 gold coins from the gentleman and took me to the brothel."
"At that time, I was ignorant, my face was red, and I only lasted for a short while."
"To tell the truth, that woman didn't look very good."
"But looking back, that was the happiest, the happiest time for me!"
"In addition, my big brother took me to catch shrimp in the river, catch chickens in the fields, and eat grasshoppers on the grasslands."
"Alas... If I could go back to the time when I followed my big brother, I wouldn't want to be the King!"
Many scenes from that night, the words of the Wu Tian King, appeared in the minds of Bai Lingtian and Yuan Langtian...
Thinking of this, the two of them rushed to the front hall in a flash of light.
And at the same time they rushed out, Bai Lingtian prayed silently in his heart, don't let anything happen, don't let anything happen.
But as soon as they arrived at the front hall, there was a loud noise from the front hall.
"Boom!"
There was an explosive sound.
Earth-shattering.
Then they saw a black shadow flying out like a meteor, then falling to the ground unconscious.
Bai Lingtian and Yuan Langtian were extremely shocked.
Their eyes wide open.
Because they saw with their own eyes that the black-robed man sitting at the head of the table only raised a finger and injured Shadow to such an extent.
How terrifying must his strength be?
They could not imagine!
But they instantly understood in their hearts that their guess was right, he was probably the good big brother of the King.
That Lu Benwei, whom the King called the most handsome man in the world!
And the Yuan Jing who followed was also taken aback at this scene, immediately covering her red lips.
Her beautiful eyes wide open.
Shadow's strength, who in Yuan City didn't know?
Yet he was flicked away by Lu Benwei's finger.
This.
Was this the waste who didn't know how to cultivate that Ying Feng talked about?!!!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
