Chapter 1851: Chapter 1850: Dust Settles (Second Update)

"They are all dead." Suddenly, a calm voice sounded.

"Who? Who is it? Get out here!" A bizarre creature in the early Mahayana stage snorted coldly.

The terrifying momentum began to suppress the surroundings.

At the same time, divine thought swept across, attempting to identify the speaker hidden in the dark.

"Presumptuous! In the presence of the master, are you planning mutiny?" Liu Shentong snorted coldly.

"I wouldn’t dare!" This bizarre creature in the early Mahayana stage replied fearfully.

"I’ll be waiting for you at the City Lord Mansion!" Zhang Xiaohao sent a divine thought as he hurried towards the City Lord Mansion, without revealing his figure.

Upon exiting the Luanxing Sect, he happened to see Liu Qingcheng standing atop the Red White Heavenly Crane. In a flash, he appeared beside her, and with a gentle motion of his right hand, pulled her into his embrace.

"Ah! You scoundrel..." The last word "die" had yet to be uttered when Liu Qingcheng felt the familiar aura emanating from Zhang Xiaohao, swallowing her words.

"Hmm..."

Without waiting for Liu Qingcheng to speak again, Zhang Xiaohao domineeringly hugged her slender waist and kissed her, leaving Liu Qingcheng to only let out muffled sounds.

Behind them, Xiaoqing watched the scene, shyly covering her face. Her hands gradually lowered, peeking through the gaps between her fingers at Zhang Xiaohao, wondering to herself what kissing might feel like.

A quarter of an hour later.

Only then did Zhang Xiaohao release the breathless Liu Qingcheng.

"Everything has been resolved, let’s head back!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Okay." Liu Qingcheng nodded, nestling quietly in Zhang Xiaohao’s embrace as he held her. The two sat atop the Red White Heavenly Crane and flew towards the City Lord Mansion.

A few minutes later.

The Red White Heavenly Crane landed in the backyard of the City Lord Mansion, and Zhang Xiaohao, holding Liu Qingcheng, leaped down from the crane.

"Xiaoqing, bring us some food and wine." Zhang Xiaohao instructed without looking back.

Then, carrying Liu Qingcheng in his arms like a princess, he proceeded to her bedroom.

Watching the departing figures of Zhang Xiaohao and her lady, Xiaoqing pouted, secretly laughing to herself before heading to the kitchen.

Bam!

Upon entering the room, Zhang Xiaohao closed the door and roughly pressed Liu Qingcheng onto the table.

"Lie down properly!" Zhang Xiaohao commanded.

"Okay." Liu Qingcheng responded shyly.

Soon, amidst drifting clouds, the battle ensued; terrifying attacks were launched one after another by Zhang Xiaohao towards Liu Qingcheng with ferocity.

There were just too many of Zhang Xiaohao’s moves, different ones each day, leaving Liu Qingcheng defenseless and only able to passively defend...

Shortly after, Xiaoqing returned. Just as she reached the doorway, intending to enter, her ear twitched upon hearing the graceful, melodic sounds emanating from the room. Her face flushed even redder, secretly mumbling, "I knew this would happen."

After some thought, with a single hand at her waist’s storage pouch, she retrieved a formation flag, albeit a basic one, and with a wave of her hand set the formation around the room, encompassing it entirely.

Though simple enough that even a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator could easily break it, this formation had one function—it served as soundproofing, preventing divine thought from spying.

With everything set up, Xiaoqing sat by the door, hand under her chin, gazing at the sky.

After half a day.

Woosh!

A figure descended from the sky—it was Liu Shentong. By now, Luanxing Sect had been completely obliterated, eradicated with not a single survivor—all disciples of Luanxing Sect were annihilated.

Simultaneously, all resources, shops, etc., of the Luanxing Sect had been taken over by the City Lord Mansion, marking Luanxing City’s entrance into an era of unrivaled dominance.

Having resolved several major issues, Liu Shentong returned; naturally, other minor matters were left to subordinates to handle—otherwise, what good was having a City Lord?

"Xiaoqing, is the master inside?" Liu Shentong inquired. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"The master is discussing important matters. Would City Lord mind waiting a moment?" Xiaoqing replied, blushing and stammering.

Glancing at the surrounding low-level formation, Liu Shentong smiled but remained silent.

"In that case, I’ll wait here for a while." Liu Shentong said.

Upon speaking, he sat in the nearby pavilion.

The wait lasted an entire week.

Roar!

Accompanied by a low roar from Zhang Xiaohao, the intense battle finally ceased.

"Quickly tidy up the room—your father has arrived and has been waiting for over a week." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Okay." Liu Qingcheng nodded, still blushing.

Soon after, under Liu Qingcheng’s tidying, the room was completely restored.

Zhang Xiaohao opened the door and waved his hand, breaking the formation flags arranged by Xiaoqing outside.

"Come on in!" Zhang Xiaohao called with a smile.

Speaking thus, Zhang Xiaohao entered the room and sat on a chair.

Xiaoqing and Liu Shentong entered the room one after the other; Xiaoqing took out a storage bag, placing the prepared delicacies and spiritual wine on the table.

Liu Shentong, meanwhile, stood across from Zhang Xiaohao, appearing somewhat reserved.

Before this, Liu Shentong had believed that although Zhang Xiaohao was the heir of the Spirit Clan, even with cards up his sleeve, they weren’t significant. However, the scene at Luanxing Sect was like a thunderbolt to him, thoroughly shocking.

He truly hadn’t expected Zhang Xiaohao to be so formidable; from the Sect Master Luan Tianhai down to those five cultivators in the Great Mahayana Realm, they were like paper, all dealt with by Zhang Xiaohao swiftly.

This achievement was simply too dazzling; even if Liu Shentong were in Zhang’s place, he feared he’d struggle to achieve the same!

"Please sit, don’t just stand—eat and talk." Zhang Xiaohao invited with a laugh.

"Okay." Liu Shentong and Xiaoqing nodded.

"Here’s something for you!" As he spoke, Zhang Xiaohao retrieved a storage bag and tossed it over.

"What is this?" Liu Shentong asked, puzzled.

"It contains what you desire!" Zhang Xiaohao laughed.

"Ah! Master, are you serious?" Liu Shentong appeared excited and immediately used divine thought to inspect the storage bag. Seeing the Sky Blue Divine Pool inside, his excitement was evident.

"Don’t just stand there, let’s eat first! Any discussions can happen over food." Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Okay." They nodded, and under Zhang Xiaohao’s lead, began eating.

"By the way, Master, regarding your next training, what are your plans?" Liu Shentong asked.

Upon hearing Liu Shentong’s inquiry, Liu Qingcheng gazed at Zhang Xiaohao expectantly, awaiting his response.
