Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Six Paths

Above the sea surface, Zhongshan took a deep breath. Princess Qianyou flew over immediately.

"Are you really just in the Yuan Ying stage? This power, even at the peak of Yuan Ying, shouldn't be like this!" Qianyou exclaimed in amazement.

"It's not about the realm being the same as the strength. Take Jian Hong and Yuan Fei for example, aren't their realms different? Yet when Yuan Fei encounters Jian Hong, he can only flee in panic, and isn't even Jian Hong's match." Zhongshan said.

"Mm!" Qianyou nodded.

"Hehe, it won't be long before we reach my Great Luo Dynasty." Zhongshan smiled.

Princess Qianyou was somewhat worried, "Then, will Bao'er accept me?"

"You should call her older sister!" Zhongshan frowned.

"I know, you're just bullying me!" Qianyou Princess said somewhat aggrieved.

"It's not that. There are certain things that must be clarified in advance. Since ancient times, cultivating oneself is to govern the family and then pacify the world. With my Great Luo Dynasty, I will surely pacify the world. If a house is not swept, how can it sweep the world? If the family is not united, how can it stabilize the world? Although it's a bit unfair to you, after all, Bao'er entered my Zhong family before you. I treat you all equally, but you cannot disturb the peace of the family because of this!" Zhongshan said softly.

Pouting, Qianyou was somewhat helpless, but still nodded, "I understand. It's just that I didn't turn the corner for a while! I will definitely respect Elder Sister Bao'er in the future!"

"No need, Bao'er is very easy to talk to! It's hard on you." Zhongshan immediately lovingly stroked Princess Qianyou's long hair.

In fact, Zhongshan also knew that this was unfair to Qianyou. After all, Qianyou was a princess of the Heavenly Dynasty. To let a princess of the Heavenly Dynasty marry the monarch of the Great Luo Dynasty and still not become the first empress, anyone would feel aggrieved, especially such a proud princess of the Heavenly Dynasty?

"No, with you by my side, nothing else matters!" Princess Qianyou immediately shook her head.

Just as the two were about to say something else, their brows suddenly furrowed as they looked towards the sea.

"Boom~~~"

There was a sudden loud noise in front of them on the sea, and a golden dragon burst out of the water. Standing on the dragon's head was the long-absent Haomeili.

"Zhongshan!" Haomeili raised her head proudly.

"Miss Haomeili, what are you doing here?" Zhongshan raised an eyebrow.

"How come there's another woman again? Indeed, men are not good things." Haomeili said disdainfully.

"Hehe, this is my wife, Gu Qianyou. Miss Haomeili, you still haven't answered me." Zhongshan stared at Haomeili.

"East Sea is my home. Why are you asking me when you've killed so many fish in my home?" Haomeili sneered.

Zhongshan sighed helplessly, "So, what do you suggest?"

"Why did you come to the East Sea?" Haomeili stared at Zhongshan and asked.

"Just passing through the East Sea. I'm going home." Zhongshan replied truthfully.

"Going home? Oh? Your home, Zhongshan's home? It just so happens that I have nothing to do lately. I'll go to your house and see how it is." Haomeili stared at Zhongshan.

Hearing Haomeili's words, both Zhongshan and Princess Qianyou frowned.

"Isn't that inappropriate? The world is so big, why do you have to go to my house?" Zhongshan said unwillingly.

"It's settled then. I'm going to Zhongshan's house. Let's go!" Haomeili decisively said.

Looking at Haomeili, Zhongshan smiled bitterly, "Alright, that direction!"

With that, Zhongshan pointed in the direction of Tianlang Island.

"Hm!" The generals furrowed their brows again.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Empress is here!" A general suddenly called out respectfully.

Everyone turned to look in the direction he was indicating. Indeed, a woman draped in a black robe was approaching slowly.

"Greetings, Grand Empress!" The generals immediately responded in unison.

"Hm!" A hoarse female voice came from within the black robe.

Upon seeing the robed woman, Liudao's expression tightened, showing a mix of impatience, annoyance, regret, and guilt. His emotions were extremely complex.

"Your Majesty, we shall take our leave!" The generals bowed immediately.

"Hm!" Liudao nodded slightly. The generals quickly exited the grand hall.

"You're back. Why didn't you let me know?" The Grand Empress approached and began to straighten Liudao's robe, smoothing out the wrinkles with care.

Liudao stood there with a frown, not moving an inch, as if he didn't want the Grand Empress to touch him at all. Despite his aversion, he reluctantly allowed the Grand Empress to continue adjusting his robe.

"I was worried you were busy. I didn't want to disturb you," Liudao said softly.

The Grand Empress was silent for a moment before saying, "Tonight, Xiao San will attend to you."

"Hm." Liudao responded with a slight nod.

After speaking, the Grand Empress left slowly, looking rather desolate, without saying another word.

Watching her retreating figure, Liudao's expression was incredibly complex.

On Langwolf Island, Deep in a Mountain Forest

Yinglan, dressed in armor, looked valiant and exceptionally handsome. The scene before her was one of devastation; numerous corpses lay scattered across the ground, and the once majestic mountains were now a mess. An entire sect had been wiped clean.

Before Yinglan stood a man, covered in blood. Ten soldiers held spears against him, ready to kill at her command.

"You can't kill me! I'm a disciple of the Golden Light Arhat. He resides in the Great Awakening Temple of the Lunar Dynasty. We are all people of the Pure Land. You can't kill me!" The man shouted in terror.

The Pure Land? The Lunar Dynasty? The Great Awakening Temple? Yinglan raised her hand, halting the execution.

"Set up camp. I need to interrogate him." Yinglan ordered.

"Yes!" The generals behind her responded immediately.

After setting up camp, Yinglan and several generals conducted the interrogation personally. Upon learning the information, Yinglan frowned and exchanged glances with her generals.

"You, return to the capital immediately and report everything to His Majesty." Yinglan directed one of the commanders.

"Yes!" The commander responded promptly.

"General, may I leave now?" The captive asked, trembling with concern.

"Marshal, should we detain him?" A general beside Yinglan asked.

"No, we have our mission. We can't keep him with us. If we assign a small number of guards and he escapes, what then? His Majesty's grand plan must not be jeopardized, not even a little. No one can ruin the Duke's scheme, absolutely no one. Kill him!" Yinglan said coldly.

"Yes!" The generals responded at once.

"General, General...!" No matter how the captive pleaded, Yinglan had already left the tent.
