Chapter 387: Chapter 384: Ming King Descending, Night Visit to the Imperial City

Moluo Four Islands, Chuyun Country.

Half a year had passed, and the territory of this nation founded single-handedly by the White Lotus Holy Daughter, Su Guyun, was expanding rapidly, almost changing its appearance every day.

In the midst of conflict among sixty-six nations, it emerged uniquely.

Unlike those peers who had no vision, who only knew how to graze without raising their heads to see the path ahead.

Su Guyun’s self-preservation plan had been moving forward systematically.

The minimum goal was to control the sacrificial treasure of a nation, establish systems and laws, gather human willpower, and become the sole queen of Moluo Four Islands.

She controlled her peers with the "Three True Dharma Body," and restrained the Heavenly Officials with "Dragon Qi Prohibition."

She ensured that she wouldn’t be devoured by anyone.

And a higher goal,

was to use Moluo Four Islands as a support, dispatch an avatar compatible with dragon energy that could attain the level of "Martial Saint," to enter the Red County Shenzhou, compete in the Dragon Contention, and vie for dominance under heaven.

And now the opportunity had finally arrived.

"There’s no one else here, no need to stand, sit wherever you like."

"Yes, my Queen."

Clad in a golden silk and dyed robe, the very image of a queen, Su Guyun, was in her palace meeting Zhu Bo’an, the captain of Chuyun Country’s Ventilation Department.

Looking at this increasingly mature young man, Su Guyun’s eyes were full of admiration.

"Bo’an, you truly impress me. Truly worthy of coming from a family of Wind Officers, deeply rooted in tradition."

The young man’s recent performances had indeed far surpassed everyone’s expectations.

Initially, Su Guyun had only promoted him as a gamble, considering him a "steed not yet proven."

Zhu Bo’an, starting from scratch, had slowly established the framework of the Ventilation Department offices, from personnel selection and training plans to secret codes arrangement... all meticulously organized.

Just like a seasoned official born and bred within the Ventilation Department.

In less than half a year, various kinds of intelligence from the Divine Land of Red County had continuously flowed back to Chuyun Imperial City.

Because of his outstanding performance, even the intelligence affairs of Moluo Four Islands had been delegated to him recently, and no one dared to object.

Greatly satisfied, Su Guyun truly felt from her heart.

Having Zhu Bo’an, such a capable talent as her eyes and ears, was far superior to those bumpkins in "No-Life Dao" who were no better than sacks of wine and rice.

It made her sleep much more peacefully.

"My Queen flatters me."

Zhu Bo’an himself knew very well the reality of the situation.

His master’s several hundred "Black Law Judges," what hadn’t they done before they died?

Most were the most distinguished and capable officials throughout nearly three hundred years of the Great Yan Dynasty.

After reporting the current needs, his master had directly passed over an entire efficient team to assist him.

This group considered Chuyun Country as if it were their own property; motivated to the core, how could they not perform splendidly?

Moreover, Zhu Bo’an also controlled the Moluo branch of the "Cloud Tower Ghost Market."

With the convenience of this "Deceit Market" and the backdoor specially given by Wang Yuan, he easily managed the "Ventilation Department" impressively.

With sufficient talent, Daoist skills, and resources, the "Three Vultures Power Technique" naturally progressed rapidly, breaking into the True Qi Realm just days ago.

Although he could not compare with Wang Yuan, among ordinary people, he was indeed a gifted genius.

He even cooperated with Lady Peach Fairy and Xing’er to launch specialized "intelligence" and "postal" services in Cloud Tower Ghost Market, earning a substantial profit.

Just yesterday, he presented a significantly modified map of the Seventy-Two Situations of Dust and Smoke, which greatly delighted Su Guyun.

Naturally, any good fortune made her think of supporting him even more.

"A mission vital to the grand cause of No-Life Dao is about to take place in Yunjing City.

The Sect Master Marshal has already issued a decree, calling together the most core talented disciples to the city for reinforcement.

This time you shall accompany me, for those who participate will surely gain tremendous benefits.

It is said that during this Killing Banquet, not only will Old Buddha bestow top-grade "Killing Dao Fruit," but the true Ming King who commands the entire ’No-Life Dao’ will also descend.

For now, it is uncertain whether this ’descending’ is literal, but if an opportunity arises, I am determined to seize it!"

Zhu Bo’an promptly bowed in response.

Yet, internally, he was deeply shocked:

"Killing Banquet? Ming King Descending? I’ve heard another great secret.

I must send this news back immediately.

Zhu Bo’an, Zhu Bo’an, you truly are the disciple most valued by your master!

Your position is simply irreplaceable."

...

Under the same night sky in the Imperial City.

Whoosh—!

A shadow as thin as paper blended into the night, easily bypassing the ninefold palace restrictions, casually walking along the Meridian Imperial Road and entering the inner areas.

It was Wang Yuan’s "Two Realms Dharma Body."

During this month, he clearly had not been simply guarding Huang Wu’s ascension without doing anything else.

Using the "Merit Golden Wheel" that was immune to Dragon Qi Prohibition, he had already used "Ghost Ear Listening" to check the details of most demons within the capital once over.

Unlike the previous "Yunhe Bridge Falling Dragon" incident involving only the Three Yang Sect,

this unprecedented grand move had attracted over a dozen groups including Golden Zen, Wuwei, Dragon Flower, Returning Origin, etc.

Although not as powerful as the largest northern branch, "Three Yang Sect."

Above, there was the Green Seal Strange Immortal [One-Eyed Stone Man], in the middle there were Master Red Lotus and several other Yellow Seal Protectors, adding up to more than a dozen.

However, each family could easily bring out five or six Yellow Seals without any issue.

Even though the demons who came to Yunjing City to participate in this unprecedented grand event only accounted for three to four tenths of the overall strength of the "No-Life Dao" in the north.

Yet, they had gathered more than forty Yellow Seal Mages in one breath.

Their collaborators from the "Six Desires Red Dust Dao" had also amassed more than a dozen Yellow Seals.

This evil faction’s impressive power was far superior to the just-barely-five Immortal Officials from the [Nine Soldiers] faction.

But Wang Yuan held the trump card, the [Six Desires Red Dust Umbrella]; as long as he could create a sealed environment that prevented them from escaping, he could deliver a fierce blow of "deep-fried tenderloin"!

Moreover, he had even more confidence in his own [Great Fate].

After all, it was on his own turf under the [Heavenly Gate], even if the "No-Life Buddha" himself came, he dared to reach out and touch his bald head!

Of course, the premise was that he should hide under Sister Ruan’s skirt first.

However...

Wang Yuan glanced at his own shadow, and the troublesome fellow who tried to freeload under his pants.

He couldn’t help but curse his bad luck.

[Broom Star] Xin Ruoheng’s cultivation method was not high-leveled, named [Beidou Evil-Cutting Spell], only reaching as high as the Mystical Department, with the highest level attainable being the Divine Transformation Realm.

After achieving a Dharma Body, she could transform herself into an intangible "Curse Spirit," possessing many wonderful uses, hiding in one’s shadow being just one of them.

In this visit to the palace, she was the only Immortal Official who followed apart from Huang Wu.

Her straightforward, unreserved style was as clear as daylight, obvious to all.

Without three sentences, the topic would bizarrely shift to how much silver Wang Yuan had at home, how many stores are there in Beimang Mountain Blessed Land, and how much revenue the Cloud Tower Ghost Market brought in.

Others who didn’t know would think it was a matchmaking session.

Despite having the [Broken Peach Twig Seal] in front, it wasn’t just Xin Xiaowei who disregarded Wang Yuan’s charm on the opposite sex; Xin Ruoheng was even less concerned.

Moreover, even if there was a legitimate wife, why not be a concubine if the money was right?

If Huang Wu dared to nod, Xin Ruoheng would probably dare to hug her thigh right there and call her sister.

It was simply unbearable to watch.

Having already checked the details of this [Broom Star] through the [Small Book of Life and Death], Wang Yuan just wanted to tell her:

"Scram! If it weren’t for clinging to my wife, I’d be even more unlucky than you!

Please, find someone else more capable, I am not worthy!"

The [Small Book of Life and Death] clearly wrote of her Life Pattern — within the Eight Defeats, the [Iron Broom Eight Defeats]:

"You should recognize the mark of the Iron Broom fate, every aspect of life will be calamitous.

In the years of Shen, Zi, Chen, in the twelfth month, Si, You, Chou years in September it coincides.

In the years of Yin, Wu, Xu refrain from the seventh month, in the years of Hai, Mao, Wei meet the eighth month.

If a woman were born in these months, stepping through a man’s door she sweeps all away!"

Anyone daring to marry her truly would even give Wu Dalang reason to salute and call out ’hero’.

Wang Yuan couldn’t help but mourn silently for three moments for Xin Xiaowei, whose biological father’s bones were likely already rotten.

It was only because he is hard-fated, not so easy to die, but his true life chart wasn’t much stronger than that of this mother and daughter.

[Precepts two, Broken Life Chart, Four Idle Spirits, Five Ghosts, Eight Defeats!

A life met with Four Idle is weak and sickly in body, fails to accomplish tasks, starting without finishing;

Five Ghosts and Eight Defeats life, one that owes debts to ghosts: change in physical constitution, attracts evil spirits, frequently encounters weird occurances, disasters never cease!]

If it weren’t for using the [Dragon King Pearl Gathering Skill] by borrowing the noble life of Huang Wu to combine their life charts, he, Wang Xiaoyuan, would probably be faring even worse than them.

Just managing a subordinate [Poverty God] was still bearable, but if another [Broom Star] came along, it really would be like an Old Longevity Star eating arsenic, impatient for death.

If Xin Ruoheng truly thought that Old Master Wang was some royal purple descending, a Child of Qi Fortune, capable of protecting a [Broom Star], she was gravely mistaken.

Wang Yuan wanted only to finish the job quickly and bid farewell to this plump beauty.

At this moment.

Upon learning that the people in the capital were to be sacrificed as human offerings.

Apart from the task involving the [Nine Dragons Wall], finding Pei Yulou and the families of the five camps of Daoist Soldiers had become urgent.

Moreover, he and his sister had an unresolved causality with that half-dead Emperor Jianming, Zhou Wenrui, that needed complete settlement!

He truly had no time to be distracted by other concerns.

Hurrying along.

Following the mighty Fire Dragon Qi along the Meridian, passing through Yongding Gate, Heavenly Bridge, Zhengyang Bridge, Zhengyang Gate, Great Ming Gate, Duan Gate, Meridian Gate, Jianji Hall, Central Palace...

Until reaching the seat of the Emperor in the center of the Imperial City, the most solemn and august Golden Throne in Imperial Palace!

Then along the dragon-patterned stone carving imperial road in front of the great hall ascending the three platforms.

Transforming into a phantom, he passed under the Emperor’s throne, bypassing all guards, to reach the heart of the "Dragon Qi Technique" of Red County Divine Land.

— Supressing the core of the national grand array, the [Nine Dragons Wall]!

Arriving there, those demons relying on the [Six Desires Red Dust Qi] to remain unscathed had already vanished without a trace.

Unlike the [Merit Golden Wheel] that achieved Unity of Heaven and Man, which was recognized by the Dragon Qi without flaw,

The heretical beings, by tricking the Dragon Qi, would be immediately exposed if they dared to come here, dying a gruesome death.

However, before Wang Yuan could revert back to his human form,

a somewhat familiar female laughter suddenly rang beside his ear.

"Look fast, the child in my belly is kicking me!"
