Let me preface this.
Before Ouyang Xuan arrived, he had already prepared himself for the possibility of the Bright Moon Sect being wiped out.
But...

Click~!
"Check-in at Cloud Summit Palace! 10,000 per visit!"
"Photo services available! We'll Photoshop you into Cloud Summit Palace!"
"Hiring staff for Cloud Summit Palace!"
What on earth is going on?
Ouyang Xuan followed the celestial staircase to the location of the Bright Moon Sect.
However, the scene before him was completely different from what he had imagined.
The residents of Jiang City were wandering around like tourists, taking photos and checking in with their phones and backpacks.
Su family's bodyguards were maintaining order and streaming the scene live.
"Hey, move aside, move aside."
A group of people walked over and pushed Ouyang Xuan to the side.
He looked up and saw the stone statue of the Bright Moon Sect's leader being hooked with ropes, ready to be moved.
Beside it stood another statue.
It was a lifelike carving of Su Muwan!
The statue perfectly captured the domineering and invincible aura of its subject.
What is this? What are they doing?
He took a deep breath, his mind struggling to process the situation.
Accompanying him was Li Mingyuan, who glanced around and noticed that, apart from the Jiang City residents, there were also disciples from the sect dressed in uniform robes.
Upon closer inspection, he realized these were indeed the robes of the Bright Moon Sect.
But instead of behaving like the proud disciples of an ancient sect, they were acting like tour guides, leading the visitors around the sect grounds.
Even an elderly man with a powerful aura and a swollen cheek stood at the entrance, amiably handing out flyers.
This...
Li Mingyuan rubbed his temples, his lips twitching as he said, "Minister, no need to think about it. Those two have already taken care of things."
Qin Luo and Su Muwan—ever since the day he met them, he had thought they were utterly outrageous.
Now, seeing this, they were even more outrageous than he could have imagined!
Every disciple had swollen cheeks. This method...
No need to guess! It must have been Su Muwan who told Qin Luo to do it!
Who would have thought? Even an ancient sect like this was no match for them.
Taken care of...? This was more than just "taken care of"...
Ouyang Xuan couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
Alright, you said you were going to secretly assassinate the prodigies, but when they came to your territory, you not only killed them openly, but you also took over their territory?
And not only that, but you turned it into a tourist attraction??
Excuse me?
Are you even human?
Ouyang Xuan shook his head helplessly. "Never mind that. Let's find out where those two went."
Li Mingyuan nodded.
The next moment.
Wen Mo, with his swollen cheeks, walked over holding a flag. He handed them two flyers and said, "Welcome to Cloud Summit Palace. Here's the visitor guide."
"Also, the two masters have been waiting for you in the Heavenly Palace Hall for quite some time."
So what the hell is Cloud Summit Palace?
The two exchanged a glance and took the guide.
The content of the guide was utterly bizarre.
Alchemy rooms, scripture archives, forging rooms...
What? These are open for visitors to tour??
And according to this Domain-level disciple, Qin Luo and Su Muwan already knew they were coming?
Sigh, it's impossible to figure out what this eccentric master-servant duo is up to.
A moment later.
They arrived at the Heavenly Palace Hall.
Before entering, Ouyang Xuan and Li Mingyuan noticed the old plaque on the ground: "Bright Moon Hall."
Their eyes twitched. Did you even change the name of the sect?
Entering the hall.
It was a spacious chamber, empty except for two figures at the front.
Su Muwan sat on a throne, propping her cheek with one hand as she idly ate grapes.
When she saw Ouyang Xuan and Li Mingyuan, she rolled her eyes in exasperation.
Great, the alliance caught wind of this already.
Qin Luo stood nearby with his hands behind his back. He smiled at the two latecomers and said, "Minister, are you Inspector Megure? The case is already over by the time you arrive."
Choosing to ignore Qin Luo's strange references.
Ouyang Xuan looked around, his eye twitching as he asked, "Is this the Bright Moon Sect?"
Qin Luo nodded with a smile. "Yes."
"Now called Cloud Summit Palace?"
"Mhm."
"Where's the Bright Moon Sect's leader?"
"Didn't you see him? The old man handing out flyers at the entrance."
"......"
Gasp!
Slap!
Ouyang Xuan covered his face, his pupils trembling.
Even though he had already guessed it!
But!!
He peeked through his fingers at Qin Luo above.
The other's smiling expression seemed so sinister and unsettling to him!
No way!
You actually dared to do this? Just tossed the sect leader out to hand out flyers??
Most importantly.
He frowned and asked, "Are you not planning to proceed with the Celestial Squad plan anymore?"
"Aren't you going to kill the prodigies?"
With such a big commotion, other sects will definitely be on guard, and the assassination plan might be stillborn.
Qin Luo chuckled and shook his head. "How could that be?"
"Forming a specialized squad to assassinate prodigies is one of the alliance's primary tasks moving forward."
"Everything I've done is just preparation for what's to come."
"Preparation... huh?"
Ouyang Xuan muttered hesitantly. He didn't believe it.
But looking at Qin Luo's confident and convincing expression, he had no choice but to believe.
After all, Qin Luo and Su Muwan were the most unpredictable and eccentric individuals he had ever met.
"Alright, but what exactly is your plan moving forward? Can we sit down and have a proper discussion?"
Ouyang Xuan still felt uneasy. Qin Luo's habit of speaking in half-truths left him with no sense of security. He looked at Qin Luo, then at Su Muwan.
He said seriously, "I can't gamble with the future of modern martial artists. Miss Su, let's move to headquarters and discuss the selection of the Celestial Squad."
"And the follow-up plan for hunting prodigies."
Li Mingyuan, being slightly more reliable than others at headquarters, was the first to learn about this plan from Ouyang Xuan.
At first, he was against it, but when he heard it was proposed by Qin Luo and Su Muwan, he immediately agreed.
No joke.
Based on his understanding of those two, if he didn't agree now, he'd have to agree later.
To avoid things getting too messy, it was better to join early.
However...
Li Mingyuan subtly glanced at Su Muwan.
She looked calm and composed, making it hard to reconcile her current demeanor with her former reputation as a spoiled heiress.
Who would have thought? The biggest troublemaker in Jiang City, the Su family's young miss who was once dismissed as a tyrant, had such a meticulous mind.
Truly terrifying.
?
(°ー°〃).
Celestial Squad? Killing prodigies?
What is this guy talking about?
Su Muwan was utterly confused inside, but she maintained a composed and strategic exterior.
Since she had spent half the day sleeping and the other half kissing yesterday, Su Muwan felt like she hadn't been involved much.
But.
If you're all saying this...
She glanced subtly at Qin Luo, who was smiling, clearly indicating that he was behind this.
Well, that settles it.
She nodded slightly, "Approved."

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
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.
