Ning XuanWu's anger abated after a long while.
"Master, please calm down," Yao Ling'er said in a timely manner. "We do need to make plans for what comes next, what do you think, Master?"
Ning XuanWu's face was gloomy, but he had no choice but to make plans for the future.
Having thought thus far, he raised his head and looked at Yao Ling'er, saying softly, "Ling'er, today is the most disastrous day in the history of my XuanWu Sect. So the future of the XuanWu Sect depends on you!"
"Depends on me?"
Yao Ling'er opened her red lips in surprise.
"Yes!"
Ning XuanWu nodded heavily, helplessly glancing at the direction of the Martial Arts Hall. Although he was resentful in his heart, in the face of such peerless masters, he did not even have the courage to seek revenge.
Seeing Ning XuanWu like this, Yao Ling'er felt uneasy. She couldn't help asking, "Master, what exactly is in that Martial Arts Hall that could...?"
Hearing this, the corner of Ning XuanWu's mouth twitched. He sighed and said apprehensively, "Four martial sect leaders, one martial sage, and even a martial emperor!"
"What?"
Although they had guessed that the people in the Martial Arts Hall would be very powerful, everyone still couldn't help gasping when Ning XuanWu stated the truth.
That small Martial Arts Hall actually had four martial sect leaders and a martial sage, even a martial emperor?
No wonder.
No wonder even someone as powerful as Ning XuanWu had suffered so disastrously...
"So..."
Yao Ling'er frowned and looked at Ning XuanWu.
"So I want you to stay in Pingjiang City," Ning XuanWu said with narrowed eyes. "The foundation of my XuanWu Sect is here. Although we've been at odds with Qingshan Sect for thousands of years, we've somehow maintained a balance."
"But now, that balance is broken," he said, his face showing deep concern. Then his expression turned vicious as he continued, "That old Lu Qingshan, who knows what kind of sinister plot he used to establish ties with that young man from the Martial Arts Hall, and even obtained a peerless divine blade."
"Think about it. If Lu Qingshan obtains more good things from those masters, as our lifelong enemy, would he let us off?"
"And with the benefits he gained from those masters, how could we still be his match?"
It had to be said, although Ning XuanWu had a fiery temper, as the leader of a sect, he usually considered problems with a long-term perspective.
Hearing his words, everyone understood the complex relationships involved.
Their faces revealed deep solemnity.
"So Master wants me to...?" Yao Ling'er asked nervously.
"Alas!" Ning XuanWu sighed and said with an ugly expression, "We can't get back the Sky-Shaking Stone or Swift Wind Cape, and we can't avenge today's humiliation either. Although I can't swallow this insult, in the face of absolute power, we are helpless."
"On the contrary, we must do our utmost to fawn over and get close to that young man, at least to the same extent as Lu Qingshan."
"I understand what you mean, Master," Yao Ling'er said worriedly. "But... aside from the matter with the two martial brothers, just based on today's events, the two sides are already at odds. How can we fawn over and get close to him?"
"That's why I want you to stay. Although you met him before in disguise, he hasn't seen your true appearance..."
Having said this, Ning XuanWu took a deep breath and looked at Yao Ling'er solemnly. He uttered each word slowly:
"Therefore..."
"I want you to use every means to seduce him, and become his woman!"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!

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.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
