You trying to deny it?” Leng Rou gave him a look that said she’d seen right through him, “Come on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visible, sinister cold energy suddenly surged up, completely engulfing Leng Rou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the dark energy dissipated, she stood there with disheveled hair, wrinkled and withered skin, a mouth full of yellow teeth, and cloudy, bloodshot eyes that bulged slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Wangjun was startled by Leng Rou’s sudden transformation and instinctively stepped back several paces, nearly losing his footing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his reaction, Leng Rou beamed proudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See? If I looked like this, you’d have regretted it eight hundred years ago!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she added with solemn sincerity:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, fooling others is fine, but don’t fool yourself—your thoughts are perfectly normal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was beautiful and highly cultivated—if this kid wasn’t the least bit moved…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was only one possibility!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid liked men!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Wangjun: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ring’s elder is too abstract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a five-pronged crystal device patrolling high above the heavens suddenly sensed something and descended from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It floated directly before Leng Rou, emitted a soft “beep,” and released a faint red glow from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, this spirit remnant of a cultivator, please refrain from using large-scale destructive techniques in public areas.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear mechanical voice sounded, causing Leng Rou to freeze, then stare in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with her current appearance, it looked especially grotesque and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, is this even considered a large-scale destructive technique?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! To prevent another ‘Ugliness Uprising’ of the Dragon Elephant Sky-Pillar Sect, any disguise, transformation, or disguise technique used in public that causes spiritual harm to others will be punished according to the victim’s degree of spiritual damage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the “Ugliness Uprising”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What nonsense had those brainless, low-class body cultivator brutes pulled off this time?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Rou cursed inwardly but reluctantly dispelled her dark energy transformation technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want to get detained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her sincere apology, immediate deactivation of the technique, and lack of significant impact, the five-pronged crystal device beeped again, then flew upward to resume its patrol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Wangjun was now completely stunned, staring blankly as the crystal device flew off into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, he turned to Leng Rou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That device… can it see you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a terribly phrased question. Leng Rou rolled her eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course it can see me. Do you have any idea where you are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jianzong—one of the Seven Immortal Sects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she were currently just a spirit remnant, even in her prime, she was still just a minnow…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A big minnow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How stupid would she have to be to sneak in here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, she could only make others unable to see her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then didn’t you sneak into Jianzong without a ticket?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t talk nonsense—I didn’t! Who sneaked in?!” Leng Rou launched into a triple denial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All spirit remnants, teenagers under fourteen, or those under eighteen who haven’t entered the Dao may enter Jianzong’s outer sect for free!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there such a rule?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that incident, Leng Rou had no more patience to slowly tour with this kid and urged him directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry to the Free Trading Zone in the Dan Ding Pavilion—I’ve found plenty of treasures there before!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing, having left the Transmission Pavilion, had returned to Jianzong’s floating inner sect continent and arrived halfway up the mountain peak where the Sword Master Hall stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked along the winding path through the bamboo grove and entered the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the pond, besides Bie Xuening in her plain white robe, stood Mei Zu, now dressed again in a bright red long gown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she had stayed in Jianzong for several days, she showed no sign of leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, she had even added Chi Jiu Yu as a friend—no one knew what might happen next…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bie Xuening held a fishing rod; Mei Zu held a handful of fish food, dropping individual grains into the pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time a fish neared the hook, she precisely tossed food to knock the hook away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor fish…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, both sensed someone approaching and turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Younger brother.” Bie Xuening gave a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Dao has come too!” Mei Zu tossed the remaining fish food into the water, “You noticed the situation with that girl from Lingyin Pavilion, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing stepped forward and sat beside the pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? No room left—Brother Dao, why not sit with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Mei Zu shifted slightly to one side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bie Xuening: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene felt strangely familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need.” Xu Xing pulled out a bamboo chair and sat beside the pond, “I brought my own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Bie Xuening withdrew her gaze and retracted her fishing rod, placing it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With the first one, the rest of the first batch of Ascension Envoys should be coming soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing gazed beyond the world, watching the first batch of Ascension Envoys journey toward their respective mission worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>",860,"2026-06-20T06:44:14.883Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d65babe7c5cff43b5cf41806f3e90ab411455536fc1e7305e43fe29d5732552c","ancestor-the-times-have-changed-chapter-588","ancestor-the-times-have-changed-chapter-586",648,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancestor-the-times-have-changed-cover.jpg"]
