Chapter 1 Brother and Sister

  Bang!

  On the bustling street, a dull thud echoed from afar, followed by a bloody body slamming heavily into the wall at the side of the street.

  At this moment, the crowd around had already cleared a large space on the street. A figure stood in the middle, exuding an aura of intense focus as he grasped two uneven clubs. Around him, officials lay scattered on the ground, their faces contorted in agony as they stared at the young man in green robes standing in the center of the street.

  The young master with a blue robe wrapped around his body and wearing a flat-top four-sided scarf is undoubtedly Lu Chen. At this moment, his sleeves are fluttering, his face is filled with an air of killing intent, and he has a cold smile on his face as he looks around at the fallen officials who cannot get up. There is no pity or tolerance in his eyes, but instead, they are filled with murderous intentions.

  In the distance, more city guards were rushing over, and when these standard-equipped soldiers joined in, layers of earthen walls and soft sandy ground began to appear before everyone's eyes.

  "An immortal? It's an immortal."

  "No wonder he's so fierce, even the city guards and yamen runners dare to fight him. Now this little Qin Tong is in trouble."

  "Yes, the immortal is someone even the emperor doesn't dare offend, this is going to be interesting."

  ……

  The crowd around them was abuzz with discussion, all eyes filled with envy and awe as they gazed at Lu Chen. On the other hand, when they saw Qin Tong and the others, their faces were filled with mocking smiles and schadenfreude.

  Qin's face turned iron-green, he really didn't expect his willfulness to offend a superior immortal, and at this moment, the unyielding thoughts in his heart made his hatred for Lu Chen even more uncontrollable.

  "You demon, how dare you come to our Great Zhou and cause chaos? Quickly take him down for me."

  At this time, all the city guards had already stopped in their tracks. No one dared to approach Lu Chen, the jinx, anymore. However, upon hearing Qin Tong's shout, everyone didn't dare disobey.

  The son of the national teacher, that's not an ordinary person. Adding the word "demon" from Qin Tong's mouth without any reason, it also boosted their morale a bit.

  A true immortal wouldn't dare take it, but a demonic path would naturally take it...

  Under Qin Tong's instigation, more city guards began to roar and charge towards Lu Chen...

  "Boom!"

  Another heavy blow came down, and a hapless city guard fell to the ground with a cracked skull and blood flowing.

  It's strange to say that when Lu Chen saw the fresh blood, he didn't feel panicked because of his heavy hand, but instead became even more excited.

  "Kill~, kill~"

  Deep down, as if there was a voice constantly urging Lu Chen to take action, causing him to charge towards the crowd like a madman once again.

  Fortunately, he was holding a wooden stick in his hand; otherwise, at this time and place, there would have been corpses all over the ground.

  "Kill"

  "What the...?!" Lu Chen muttered to himself, although as a disciple of Qian Yu Men, killing two blind guys didn't count for much, but at this moment he also discovered his own murderous intent, and somehow it had suddenly become so heavy.

  "Kill"

  "What's going on?" Lu Chen kicked a city guard into the air, and immediately used his Earth Wall Technique to block the attack. His figure quickly turned around, and suddenly he found that the jade pendant on his chest was emitting a faint black aura.

  "Is it jade pendant?"

  In an instant, Lu Chen discovered that the aura emanating from the jade pendant was slowly invading his meridians. Although this aura was extremely faint, it still forced him to continuously swing the staff in his hand, striking the city guards who refused to back down.

  Just then, a loud and piercing cry came from afar, making everyone's scalp numb with fright.

  "The princess has arrived"

  "Princess..." The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then countless city guards retreated like a tide, leaving only Lu Chen standing in a daze, looking at the jade pendant on his chest in confusion.

  With a loud whoosh, a phoenix carriage appeared on the main street, and a path immediately flashed out in the middle of the street. Then, only a graceful figure with lotus steps was seen walking under the accompaniment of an eunuch, coming from outside.

  The people around hurriedly performed the rites of ruler and subject, one by one falling to the ground, shouting: "Long live the princess, long live the princess for a thousand years."

  Today's Murong Yu Xi has shed that plain and unremarkable Snow White robe, replaced by the Nine Jewel Jade Crown, Embroidered Phoenix Princess Long Dress. With a gentle swaying of her lotus steps, she raises the hem of her skirt, revealing the silk brocade curtain underneath. Her demeanor is elegant and refined, her beauty unparalleled. Where has that half-point of a Taoist immortal's appearance gone? If previously Murong Yu Xi was like an ethereal fairy from the Jade Pool who did not partake in mortal affairs, now she is a majestic and noble, heavenly beauty, the Western Zi True Person.

  Beauty

  Unparalleled beauty

  Someone looked on, his murderous intent suddenly decreasing. This time he didn't make a fool of himself to the point of making people's noses bleed. He simply rubbed his nose and stood up with a cold smile.

  Murong Yuxi gazed around at the kneeling crowd, her face somewhat displeased. But when she saw Lu Chen, she was suddenly startled by his aura of death.

  "What heavy killing intent... What is this lecherous villain doing?"

  Murong Yuxi asked herself a question and ignored it, sternly saying: "At ease."

  Everyone stood up, each of them shivering with fear, not daring to raise their heads. Murong Yu Xi didn't look at the city guard captain or Qin Tong, but instead walked step by step to Lu Chen's side in front of everyone and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

  If it were in the past, Lu Chen would have used that kind of playful and irreverent expression to mock and ridicule him. This was also a fact that Murong Yu Xi had long been prepared to accept. But this time, for some reason, when Murong Yu Xi asked, Lu Chen's expression first turned cold, then he pointed at Qin Tong and the other two ancestors, as well as the city guards, and said sternly: "You ask them yourself."

  After finishing speaking, Lu Chen walked away with a proud face, secretly using the Clear Heart Technique to suppress his anger, and only then did he feel slightly better.

  Murong Yuxi was taken aback at first. As the noble Princess of Great Zhou and Lu Chen's senior sister, when had she ever been treated this way? But just as she thought to rebuke Lu Chen with her eyes, a sudden realization struck her heart, and she didn't dare do so. The reason lay in the aura of death emanating from Lu Chen at that moment.

  Murong Yuxi became even more annoyed and turned to the leader of the city guards, shouting: "Speak, what's going on?"

  Na Tongling's heart skipped a beat as he turned to look at Qin Tong, already realizing he had been deceived. This little brat wasn't some kind of demon path, but rather the Upper Qianyu Xian who shared the same master as the princess! He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness... I saw that Qin Gongzi was being..."

  For a moment, everyone was stunned into silence. Now, anyone with discerning eyes could see that the princess and this young man in green had an extraordinary relationship, and Qin Tong's previous remark "demon path" naturally couldn't be applied to him anymore.

  In the Great Zhou Dynasty, everyone knew that the current ruler had only one princess, and this princess had long ago become a disciple of the Qianyu Gate, the first immortal sect in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

  If it's the same as calling a princess an immortal, then these two words "demon path" won't just be directed at someone, that would be a serious insult to the Qianyu Gate and could cost you your head.

  Qin also lost his temper at this time, although he was still unhappy and even secretly resentful, but he didn't dare to insult Lu Chen in public on such an occasion.

  He glared at the commander and stopped talking. The commander naturally also stopped making a sound.

  Lu Chen smiled coldly and stood up, saying: "Let me say it instead. You, you're not the one who said I'm a demon, are you?" He pointed at Qin Tong and the others with his hand, causing a group of second-generation ancestors to suddenly wet their pants in fright.

  "Spare our lives, Immortal! We didn't say anything!"

  "It is we who have eyes but fail to recognize Mount Tai, begging for mercy from the immortal above..."

  ……

  The situation has escalated, if it was before, Lu Chen just said that this group of second-generation ancestors publicly humiliated the female disciple of Qianyu Gate, it wouldn't be a big deal, after all, these people were just arrogant and ignorant. But now it's different, the two words "demon path" are not something that can be casually spoken out loud, even if it was an unintentional mistake, one must take responsibility for it.

  Offend the Supreme Immortal? That's a big deal, even the Emperor of Great Zhou wouldn't dare do such a thing. How could these insignificant second-generation descendants and a mere city guard commander bear the weight of such a serious crime?

  Murong Yuxi's two willow eyebrows suddenly stood upright at the words, and a shocking killing intent spread out from his body.

  "How dare you insult the immortal on the Jade Gate! Come, take these people away and throw them into the great prison. Three days later, behead them at the Meridian Gate..."

  "As expected, it's indeed the Upper Immortal of Qianyumen!"

  "It serves them right! These little rascals have been cheating and bullying all day long, they had it coming!"

  "Heh heh, in the future, Wangdu might become much more stable, and his own daughter won't have to hide at home and be afraid to come out..."

  In an instant, the streets erupted in a chorus of shocked cries. Mu Rong Yu Xi's ruthless and decisive methods left everyone pale with fear.

  "I deserve to die, Your Highness, please spare my life..."

  "Please forgive me, Princess..."

  The crowd's ancestors wailed one after another, and the loud voices begging for mercy rose in succession. The commander was already frightened to the point of paralysis...

  "Not going down yet..."

  Even if the voices of begging for mercy sounded again, Murong Yu Xi did not have any sorrowful feelings. The crowd was taken away one after another by the imperial palace guards she had brought along...

  The poor guy was just arrogant and relying on the backing of a powerful old father, but in the blink of an eye he became a prisoner under guard.

  Lu Chen's resentment dissipated at this moment, and he secretly sighed in his heart: "This is indeed a world where the strong prey on the weak. Offending an immortal is simply death. Damn it, being an immortal is really great. Fortunately, I met my master that day and became an immortal myself, otherwise how could I have enjoyed such treatment."

  Lu Chen still couldn't help but feel a little reluctant, but as soon as he saw Murong Yu Xi's gaze, he suddenly understood a lot. So the only thread of sympathy also turned into nothing in an instant.

  After all the offenders were taken away, Murong Yuxi's fierce eyes scanned the surroundings, and his majestic momentum made people dare not look straight again.

  "Go"

  Murong Yuxi glared at Lu Chen and turned around to step onto the Phoenix Carriage...
