Chapter 1577: The Situation Is Settled, the Ladies' Reactions
I can't block this move either, unless I can dodge it in advance. Daoist Lingxin reminded himself internally, he must remember to dodge, cannot get hit.
Once hit, trying to escape is unlikely; his strength cannot match Mu Longjie after the Human-Beast Grand Method, a half-step into Tribulation Realm, yet he was still sealed, still drained, death just a step away.
Whether he lives or dies still depends on Chen Chuyang's mood; this move was specifically used to warn him—if he disobeys and dares to act, then Mu Longjie's fate will be his fate.
Gurgle.
"He's warning me." Daoist Lingxin never wanted to fight, even without this move he had no such thought; in this world, Chen Chuyang dare not say he's invincible—at least below Tribulation Realm, whoever comes dies.
Even if Tribulation Realm arrives, he still has to kneel; Chen Chuyang's strength, he cannot see through or comprehend.
Daoist Lingxin stood still, not daring to act or cause trouble; he could only watch how Chen Chuyang would proceed, how he would deal with Mu Longjie.
Within the Yin Gui Sect, Zhuge Ruolan saw this, smiled, and relaxed completely.
Her gaze also withdrew, no longer looking at……Chen Chuyang.
"Elder Yinyu, let the disciples return to continue their cultivation, no need for vigilance." Zhuge Ruolan waved her hand; the Yin Gui Sect could relax its guard.
What a pity, that Heavenly Ghost True Person escaped him; if he had been killed, perhaps some good things could be obtained from him, and if it were a cultivation method, that would naturally be best.
"Understood, Sect Master." Elder Yinyu swiftly issued orders, letting the disciples disperse.
Within the Yin Gui Sect, there were no disciples left, the elders had also dispersed, leaving only Zhuge Ruolan and Elder Yinyu; Elder Yinyu's heart eased, he looked at Zhuge Ruolan, his strength rose again, quickly, making him feel very relieved.
The stronger the Sect Master becomes, the better the Yin Gui Sect's situation; he also no longer needs to constantly guard her, can cultivate in peace—now the Sect Master of the Yin Gui Sect is Zhuge Ruolan, actually handling all major and minor sect affairs, which is exhausting and leaves no time for cultivation.
Even if he had many insights, he still couldn't cultivate.
"Sect Master, you should also speed up; the Yin Gui Sect needs an heir, now that you have stepped into the True Realm, you should consider this." Elder Yinyu urged.
The future of the Yin Gui Sect lies with Zhuge Ruolan; she needs to bear a child, gender irrelevant, as long as it is her child, her and Chen Chuyang's child, then that child's position will be extremely secure, no one will oppose.
The entire Yin Gui Sect awaits this day, also hoping Zhuge Ruolan speeds up rather than continuing closed-door cultivation, her cultivation is already sufficient.
Now it's time for other matters, and the child is the most crucial, also what the Yin Gui Sect cares about most.
Zhuge Ruolan has no disciples, naturally needing a child; the Yin Gui Sect has no Holy Son or Holy Maiden, these years they've been cultivating, no time for this, and moreover Zhuge Ruolan is young, temporarily not needing to choose a Holy Son or Holy Maiden.
Elder Yinyu is very worried—either she quickly bears a child to secure the Yin Gui Sect's future, or she determines a Holy Son and Holy Maiden to stabilize the sect.
"The sect side is also anxious, many people are watching you; after giving birth to an heir, those voices in the sect will naturally disappear."
"You should also think for yourself; cultivation in this regard need not be rushed."
Elder Yinyu didn't want to nag, but seeing Shang Hongxue and Shang Hongchen both on their second child, while Zhuge Ruolan still showed no movement, he too felt anxious.
Regarding Zhuge Ruolan, Elder Yinyu is very satisfied—she can suppress the Yin Gui Sect and lead it gradually toward strength; these years the Yin Gui Sect has changed, no longer following the old ways, the sect's cultivation methods have also changed, all coming from Zhuge Ruolan's hand; as for who revised them, needless to say it's naturally Chen Chuyang.
Moreover, in this Tianwai enemy invasion, those corpses are all good things, all belonging to the Yin Gui Sect.
Others look down on these corpses, they target the storage bags within them, wanting to seize their things; regardless, the final corpses will definitely be the Yin Gui Sect's.
This can let the Yin Gui Sect's Yin Ghosts feast heartily, and also enhance the Yin Ghosts' strength.
"I understand, Elder Yinyu." Zhuge Ruolan nodded, her face slightly flushed.
"Sect Master, this matter must be sped up; it's best to bear a child as soon as possible, after which I will no longer urge you, nor manage how long you stay in closed-door cultivation." Elder Yinyu promised.
With a future heir, he naturally shifts his focus to the child; as for Zhuge Ruolan, she can do whatever she wishes.
"……" Zhuge Ruolan laughed helplessly, only able to nod: "Alright, I'll do my best."
"Sect Master, not just doing your best—you must go to Longshe Shan and wait now." Elder Yinyu truly worried himself sick; for the Sect Master and the Yin Gui Sect's future, he truly proved himself competent.
"Eh?" Zhuge Ruolan wanted to retort, but meeting Elder Yinyu's eyes, she helplessly nodded: "Alright."
"I'm going now."
Only then did Elder Yinyu smile: "That's how it should be, Sect Master."
Great Qi Dynasty, inside the palace.
The guard detail disbanded; Qi Ruohua easily sat on the throne, saying to Jing Yuheng: "Jing Yuheng, do you want to go to Longshe Shan for a trip?"
Jing Yuheng shook his head: "Your Majesty, I'd rather not; I need to hold the palace, can't go."
"Are you worried?" Qi Ruohua saw through her thoughts, smiling: "Don't worry, Shang Hongxue is fine, she won't target you; she'd love for you to call her sister."
"When the time comes, just lower your head and call her 'sister'; she will surely protect you."
Jing Yuheng blinked, asking: "Your Majesty, have you also called her sister?"
Qi Ruohua spread her hands: "You say I can't not call her?"
"Ah, there's no way—who let her be the main wife? I dare not make her dislike me; my husband dotes on her the most, Shang Hongxue says what goes, plus calling her sister entails no loss, why not?"
As Shang Hongxue's cultivation and strength rose, among many women her strength already counts as that of a Strong One, capable of suppressing others.
If not called, she might well attack; Shang Hongxue is no longer the former Shang Hongxue.
In this regard, Qi Ruohua is convinced; the main palace does this very well, treating everyone equally.
Toward her own people, Shang Hongxue is very good, never making things difficult for her.
"But what about the palace side?" Jing Yuheng gritted his teeth.
"No need to worry, the Black Dragon Guard watches; they won't act recklessly." Qi Ruohua waved her hand: "Those people can't stir up trouble, besides, don't you miss your husband?"
"Your cultivation should also break through; you need your husband's help, right?"
Jing Yuheng, upon hearing, nodded: "Alright, Your Majesty, this time I'll accompany you to Longshe Shan."
"Hahaha, Yuheng, let's go now, lest other women get ahead." Qi Ruohua pulled her along, leaving Jing Yuheng no chance to react.
"Your Majesty, slow down."
"Your Majesty, that's too fast."
