224: Chapter 224 Li Junze's Romantic Luck: Another Scheme Against Lin Ran

"Everything as Master commands!"

Su Yuling nodded in response.

Immediately, Lin Ran took Su Yuling to the Sword Tomb.

In the Sword Tomb, Li Huayin had initially refined the sword dao heavenly mandate stone, and her cultivation had successfully broken through to the Yang Venerable Realm Ninth Heaven.

"Lin Ran!"

Seeing Lin Ran’s return, Li Huayin was overjoyed; she flew forward and pulled Lin Ran into a tight embrace.

Su Yuling watched from the side, feeling secretly envious.

"Huayin, let's go. Now that the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury has appeared, I expect other forces have already entered."

"Li Junze should also be there; it’s time we settled things with him."

Lin Ran said coldly.

"Yes. In the Demon Den expedition, many Princes and Princesses were killed or injured. Now, as long as we eliminate Li Junze, the throne will surely be mine!"

Li Huayin said with determined eyes.

This was the nature of the imperial family—scheming and harming one another was perfectly normal.

Li Huayin’s ambition was great; she wanted to be crowned Empress!

Any obstacle on her path to the throne would be crushed one by one!

Lin Ran smiled and rubbed the top of Li Huayin’s head. Then, he took her and Su Yuling to stand on the shoulder of the Chi Chen Ape and rushed toward the source heaven dao sword.

...

"Now that the source heaven dao sword has finally appeared, the only person who poses a threat to me is Lin Ran!"

"I must find a way to get rid of Lin Ran!"

On the other side, as Li Junze rushed toward the source heaven dao sword, he was secretly calculating in his heart.

Lin Ran was too strong. Even as a peerless Prodigy with the waste-to-prodigy face-slapping system, Li Junze felt a bit of fear toward Lin Ran’s prowess.

Furthermore, Lin Ran had cultivated a 100,000-zhang dao tree that shocked both the past and present, making him an invincible existence within the Domain of the source heaven dao sword.

If he fought alone, he would definitely be slaughtered by Lin Ran.

He had to use everything at his disposal to hinder Lin Ran, and then take the Opportunity to seize the source heaven dao sword!

As long as he could obtain the source heaven dao sword and return to the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty, then no matter how capable Lin Ran was, he would never be able to kill him in front of the whole world!

"Li Lang, what are you thinking about?"

Just as Li Junze was silently calculating, a young girl with delicate and sweet features, standing tall and graceful with a slender figure, suddenly spoke. She looked gentle and refined as she quietly took Li Junze’s arm, her ears turning slightly red.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about the source heaven dao sword."

Li Junze forced a smile and said.

He truly lived up to being someone with the waste-to-prodigy face-slapping system; while his Luck was Heaven-Defying, his peach blossom Luck was also quite extraordinary.

When he first entered the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury, he encountered this young girl while searching for opportunities.

At that time, the girl possessed an Opportunity and was being hunted by a group of young prodigies from the Imperial Province.

He had saved the girl on a whim, and afterward, she had persistently followed him, refusing to leave no matter how much he tried to drive her away.

Helpless, he could only let the girl stay.

After all, he was the one who saved her; if he were to kill her himself now, wouldn't his previous action have been pointless?

Over time, he gradually grew accustomed to the girl’s presence.

"Don't worry, Li Lang. I will definitely do my best to help you seize the source heaven dao sword!"

Yue Yao patted her not-yet-fully-developed chest and promised confidently.

"You are only at the Moon Venerable Realm; how can you help me seize the source heaven dao sword?"

Li Junze shook his head helplessly and reached out to tap Yue Yao’s forehead.

"What, you don't believe me? You'll find out when the time comes~"

Yue Yao gave a mysterious smile.

Li Junze didn't say anything more, assuming Yue Yao was just trying to comfort him.

Right now, how to plot against Lin Ran was the most important thing he needed to do.

"By the way, Li Lang, I heard that some time ago in the Sword Tomb, a woman obtained the jue tian emperor sword."

"That woman has quite a background; she’s said to be the Seventh Princess of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty from the outside world!"

Yue Yao said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Li Junze’s body jolted, and his footsteps came to a halt.

"Yue Yao, you... you didn't hear wrong?! That woman is truly the Seventh Princess of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty?!"

Li Junze’s eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.

"She is indeed the Seventh Princess of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty. Why? Could it be that Li Lang has feelings for that princess?"

Yue Yao smiled, but the smile was very cold and didn't reach her eyes.

In her view, Li Junze could only belong to her. If any other woman dared to compete with her for Li Junze, they were already seeking their own death!

However, Li Junze didn't notice this and continued to press: "And then?"

"And then, that Seventh Princess was besieged by a group of young prodigies. Among them were young prodigies from the outside world as well as young prodigies from the Yao Race within the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury."

Yue Yao snorted and continued.

"Did that Seventh Princess die?"

Li Junze asked tentatively.

"She didn't die. Later, a youth appeared riding a Yao Emperor, wiped out the group of young prodigies, and saved the Seventh Princess."

Yue Yao said gloomily.

"Riding a Yao Emperor?! Do you know what that youth looked like?!"

Li Junze’s heart pounded wildly as he followed up.

Seeing Li Junze turn his focus toward the youth, Yue Yao felt her head spinning.

Could it be...

Her previous thought that Li Junze had feelings for the Seventh Princess of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty was wrong?

In reality, Li Junze had feelings for the youth who saved the Seventh Princess?!

Was Li Junze fucking gay?!

"I only heard that the youth’s appearance surpasses that of a True Immortal."

Yue Yao became even more gloomy.

"Then it’s definitely him! Hahaha..."

Li Junze suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly.

"Yue Yao, to be honest, I have a grudge against that youth, and in the struggle for the source heaven dao sword, he is the only one I’m worried about!"

Hearing this, Yue Yao breathed a complete sigh of relief.

Thank goodness!

Thank goodness Li Junze only had a grudge against Lin Ran and wasn't gay.

Otherwise, if the man Yue Yao set her sights on was gay, wouldn't that make her the laughingstock of all the Yao in the world?!

"Yue Yao, among the Yao Race young prodigies that youth killed, were there any with noble status?"

Li Junze asked.

"Yes. The Green Wind that youth killed was the Crown Prince of one of the Five Great Hegemon Forces in this world—the Rakshasa Flood Dragon Clan!"

"Upon learning of Green Wind’s death, the Clan Chief of the Rakshasa Flood Dragon Clan was furious and swore to tear that person into ten thousand pieces!"

Yue Yao said.

"Hahahaha..."

"Great, this is truly Heaven helping me! Lin Ran, you are arrogant and have committed too much slaughter; this time, you will surely die!!"

Li Junze laughed maniacally.

He pulled Yue Yao into his arms and gave her a heavy kiss on the cheek.

"Yue Yao, thank you. You’ve done me a huge favor!"

"Next, I plan to go to the territory of the Rakshasa Flood Dragon Clan. I want to meet their Clan Chief."

"Do you plan to follow me, or will you go to compete for the source heaven dao sword first?"

Yue Yao allowed Li Junze to hold her, her face blushing red, and she said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum:

"I... I will naturally follow you..."
