A multitude of assassins surged in from all directions, all targeting the Emperor.

After Qi Wen knocked Ye Liangkun unconscious, she heard Meng Po’s cry, "Protect the Emperor."

As she turned her head, she saw arrows and two knives embedded in her body.

Qi Wen saw arrows coming from different directions as well. She also rushed forward—is this the grand spectacle she wanted? How foolish!

Both of them firmly protected the Emperor, and at this moment, the imperial guard arrived to protect the Emperor as well. They quickly captured the group of men.

The Imperial Physician treated the two Lord Yes, but they showed no signs of life.

Qi Wen and Meng Po hovered in the air, watching the scene below.

The Emperor sat steadily all the while. It wasn’t until the Imperial Physician declared that the two Lord Yes could not be saved that the Emperor erupted in a fury.

Everyone was captured. The two Dukes from other places and the Third Prince were all taken without exception.

They saw sadness on Ye Zongshen’s face, unsure if he mourned for the two of them or for Ye Liangkun.

The Black and White Impermanence were simply there, watching. Seeing their leader’s reluctance to return, they had no choice but to take up work elsewhere.

The two watched as the Emperor sent troops to take control of the territories of the two Dukes, while the Third Prince was demoted to a commoner and placed under house arrest.

Ye Liangkun fared the worst, executed directly, with Mrs. Wang sharing the same fate of a death sentence.

Because of this, Minister Wang was dismissed, and the Ye Marquis Mansion had their title reduced.

In the end, the two were given a grand burial in the Royal Mausoleum, and were posthumously titled Princes, their place honored with the incense and offerings of the Royal Family.

They both felt they had earned the merit of the incense offerings.

"I said it would be grand, didn’t I?"

"Yes, it was quite something indeed. Let’s go, I’m eager to return."

Old Black and Old White hadn’t arrived yet; let’s go check on the person you helped.

Qi Wen couldn’t do much, this meddlesome person.

Lu Shui had already changed her name to Chen Xiaorui and was living quite well in the Sun Mansion. Although merely a concubine, Lord Sun treated her rather well.

"She will have the fortune of many children in the future, no need to worry."

Qi Wen nodded, thinking to herself, who was worried, wasn’t it you who insisted on coming to check?

They then went to see the three members of the Zhang Family. Having been freed from their servitude, even without a master now, they wouldn’t be sold off and were even looked after, all the Silver left by the two was given to them.

The three left the Capital City and settled in the county where they once lived.

Black and White Impermanence arrived, following them back to the Underworld.

Qi Yan immediately sent a message to his mother, the sister’s flesh must be with her.

Meng Po smiled and bowed to Qi Yan, "Thank you, Mr. Tan."

Qi Yan merely nodded, entirely ignoring Meng Po.

Su Yuanyuan and her husband quickly appeared in the Underworld, gathering their daughter’s Divine Soul to fuse it in the space.

Meng Po bowed to Su Yuanyuan, "Thank you very much."

"Did you have fun?"

Meng Po nodded with a smile, "Quite enjoyable. Master, when do you need the two for Mahayana? Qi Wen mentioned that if her two younger brothers need more time, we would like to wander around a bit more."

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Soon, there will be no more time later."

Meng Po sighed, "I must work hard in cultivation. I must become a God, so I can roam the world with my sisters, sword in hand."

The three of the Tan Family twitched their lips. What kind of idea is this? Roam with a sword? Become a God? Is there even an opportunity for them to roam the world with a sword in the Divine Realm?

Let her think what she wants, until their daughter had fully fused, and then released her.

The two were indeed a bit reluctant, and the family of four finally departed.

The Judge appeared beside Meng Po, "Was it fun outside?"

"It was alright, it mainly depends on who you’re with."

"I want to go out too."

"Why don’t I substitute for you?"

"Really?" The Judge was pleasantly surprised.

"I can handle two jobs without any issue. If you want to go out, do so, I reckon there won’t be a chance for me."

The Judge left happily, and King Yan couldn’t help but twitch his lips. Is everyone getting wild now? Seeing this subordinate either practicing swordsmanship or working, he thought it was better to assign two more people so that there’d be time for her to retreat and cultivate.

Su Yuanyuan and her family returned to the Xuantian Sect. It was even more bustling here, Fanxing’s number one sect was not called such without reason. The disciples recruited were also becoming more outstanding.

"Mother, how much longer until Qi Hao and them reach Mahayana?"

"Three to five years, from what I see your Spiritual Power is at Great Perfection, it’s best for you to retreat as well."

Qi Wen certainly had no objection. Spending nearly ten years outside, she felt she had settled down well and needed to cultivate to Great Perfection.

Qi Yan was the same, because the Demon Pearl converted Spiritual Power in the Yin Realm, even without cultivation, he was also about to reach Great Perfection.

The couple entered the space together.

"We’ll soon be leaving this realm too."

Tan Shaoting held Su Yuanyuan, "Yes, it’s time to leave. Is there anything left unfinished, or something unresolved?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, to go above, I’m a bit uncertain."

"What for? We just go with the flow.

We have six children with us, don’t overthink it."

Su Yuanyuan shook her head with a smile, "I’m not overthinking, we live our own lives."

For cultivators, closing off for a few years is nothing.

The couple discussed within the space how to repair the Ascension Channel.

"If it doesn’t work, we can use Ascension Grass for the first time."

"What if we integrate the Ascension Grass into the Ascension Channel?"

Both thought it feasible, calling the long-armed ape to find the Ascension Grass with them.

Unexpectedly, it agreed. Su Yuanyuan had a strange thought, that Ascension Grass was meant to be on the Ascension Channel.

This realization lightened the couple’s hearts significantly. Until Qi Yan and his siblings had all achieved Mahayana Great Perfection and emerged from seclusion, Qi Hao and Qi Xuan still showed no signs.

"Grandmother, how come third uncle and my father show no signs yet?"

"Soon, don’t be anxious."

The Demon King wished to meet; Su Yuanyuan could only go out, her daughter detested snakes.

"Su, when do we start?"

"Soon."

The Demon King actually wanted to return once, but feared missing the repair of the Ascension Channel. Besides, he was reluctant to return, as that Thunder Pool was blocking his way.

Qi Wen told Tan Shaoting about Chen Xiaorui, "So that’s good, just hope her future days are peaceful."

Tan Shaoting felt much relieved. He truly thought Chen Xiaorui was a bit of a pity.

Heaven did compensate her, living as an ordinary person is quite alright.

Instructing his father, he then accompanied his master, now both master and disciple were of Great Perfection, just waiting for ascension.

Mu Tian understood Su Yuanyuan’s intention, which was to let the two younger sons gain more merits, so that, having just achieved Mahayana, they could ascend.

Even in haste, they must wait.

"Master, Zhu Huai’en can’t ascend with us, can he?"

"He hasn’t reached Great Perfection yet, it all depends on how much merit he can gather. If it’s a lot, he could ascend, too."
