337: Licking dog, nothing

"Chu Ge, Princess Nanfeng has left the Luotian Domain with the Upper Realm Dao Child. Can we still redeem our spot in the Thunder Cleansing Pool?"

Inside a private room at the Star Plucking Tower.

Lü Yang's eyes were filled with worry.

The Thunder Cleansing Pool was set to open tomorrow, but Princess Nanfeng, who was supposed to guide them, had already left the Luotian Domain.

Under such circumstances,

the Great Xia Dynasty would most likely claim ignorance of the matter.

"Upper Realm..." Chu Mo chuckled coldly, "Even if Princess Nanfeng went to the Upper Realm, the Great Xia Imperial Family will honor their promise, and there might even be other rewards."

After the battle at Rising Sun Holy Land,

the name Chu Han had completely spread, even directly ascending to the top of the heaven's pride ranking.

It caused countless female cultivators to exclaim in surprise.

Princess Nanfeng should have reported this matter to the Great Xia Emperor, and as long as he wasn't foolish, he would try every means to win him over.

Of course, that battle not only brought him fame, but Chu Mo also gained a simple understanding of his own strength.

That was, an extreme Physical Body!

Moreover, this Physical Body's strength would grow stronger with combat.

During battle, Law would enter his body, enhancing his Physical Body.

While a Physical Body growing stronger with battle was a good thing,

there was a side effect.

He seemed to be becoming increasingly warlike.

Chu Mo pressed his hand to his chest, a subtle glint flashing in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "This Law of Battle from the demonic 紋, I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse..."

"Oh, right." At this moment, Lü Yang seemed to remember something and looked at the storyteller below, who was closing his fan and leaving.

"The storyteller just mentioned some things happening in the Great Xia Imperial Palace. Dongfang Ningkong of the Dongfang Family and Princess Nanfeng were deeply in love, but because of the Upper Realm Dao Child, these lovers were forced to separate.

Especially Dongfang Ningkong.

Because he offended the Upper Realm Dao Child, the Great Xia Emperor confiscated the Dongfang Family's assets, executed all the male members, and sent all the female members to the courtesan quarters..."

"Is that so?" Chu Mo said with interest, "Before entering the Thunder Cleansing Pool, we must meet this Dongfang Ningkong."

Based on his understanding of Princess Nanfeng,

she wouldn't lavish attention on a mere passerby.

There must be a secret here. Dongfang Ningkong was definitely not a simple character... The Dongfang Family residence was filled with blood, and a bloody mist lingered.

From time to time, screams could be heard from within.

Dongfang Ningkong, like a lump of mud, was escorted back to his residence by the Great Xia Wind Spirit Guards.

The Great Xia Wind Spirit Guards were directly subordinate to the Emperor, and their functions were similar to those of the Brocade-Clad Guards.

Currently, they had received the Great Xia Emperor's order to investigate and deal with the Dongfang Family.

However, inside, it had already become a living hell.

Dongfang Ningkong's gray eyes saw the situation within the Prime Minister's residence, and two lines of bloody tears flowed down his Face.

Dongfang Ningkong's grandfather, Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue, sat in the center of the main hall, dragging a guandao.

From the main gate to the main hall, along this path,

it was covered with corpses, including servants, maids, and members of the Dongfang Family.

"Everyone, may I speak a few words with my grandson?"

"This..." The Wind Spirit Guards looked at each other, and their gazes finally converged on the commander.

"Duke Who Protects the Nation, please don't make things difficult for me!" Even though they had received the Great Xia Emperor's order to investigate and deal with the Dongfang Family, the Wind Spirit Guards still showed enough Face to this old man.

Simply because he was Duke Who Protects the Nation Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue.

He was an old general who once single-handedly held back a million-strong army of the Yinyue Dynasty at the border, propping up the Great Xia Dynasty when it was on the verge of collapse.

Now, this old general was frail and aged, far from the imperial court, but the glory he carried was something that no one in the Great Xia Dynasty could forget.

The Wind Spirit Guards could arrest civil and military officials, even Dongfang Ningkong's father, Prime Minister Dongfang, but they dared not overstep their bounds in the slightest with Dongfang Ningkong's grandfather, Duke Who Protects the Nation of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Your mission is to search and confiscate the Dongfang Family residence, isn't it? Then do your job! Leave this main hall to us, grandfather and grandson. Come back after you're done!"

"This... Alright!"

The Wind Spirit Guards bowed to Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue and then searched various parts of the Dongfang Family residence.

Dongfang Ningkong, like a soulless zombie, walked step by step into the main hall and knelt before Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue.

"Grandfather, your grandson has brought ruin upon the Dongfang Family!"

"Stand up, no kneeling!" Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue said loudly, "From today onwards, no one in this world can make you kneel, not even an Immortal!"

Dongfang Ningkong's dim eyes slowly lifted, meeting a pair of turbid yet incredibly bright eyes.

"Ninkong ah! Our Dongfang Family was originally the Dongfang Immortal Clan of the Upper Realm, but due to a great calamity a million years ago, we came to the Lower Realm's Luotian Domain to eke out a living. We originally hoped that your father could restore the prestige of our Dongfang Immortal Clan's name, so that we could return to the Upper Realm and revive the supreme glory of our Dongfang Immortal Clan.

Alas! Your father, he had no talent and disliked Cultivating, so much so that his cultivation was not even as good as you younger generations.

Among these younger generations! I favored you alone, but you... Alas, you followed your father, showing off your literary talent everywhere, just to win a beauty's smile. Hehe, little did you know, she treated you as a fool and kept you on a string! I originally wanted you to suffer a bit with women, so that you could correct yourself later, but alas, alas! Time does not wait for me, Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue!

My Dongfang Family is about to be wiped out!"

The Dongfang Family had always been small in numbers.

Among the younger generation, Dongfang Ningkong emerged as a promising talent.

Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue was very happy, but alas, this grandson was a 'dog licker', constantly fawning over Princess Nanfeng.

This infuriated him.

He even thought of beating Dongfang Ningkong violently at one point.

But he thought, it's better to guide than to block.

The word 'love' was also a hurdle on the path of Cultivation.

Perhaps after letting Dongfang Ningkong hit a wall, and then providing guidance, his state of mind could reach a higher level, thereby gaining a broader platform.

But now... Dongfang Ningkong's back gradually straightened, his eyes incredibly firm, but the words he spoke almost made Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue die on the spot.

"Grandfather, Nanfeng is not that kind of person! She is a good girl, but because she was born into the Imperial Family, she cannot control her own marriage..."

"...Incorrigible fellow!" Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue stepped forward and kicked him, then furiously kicked Dongfang Ningkong's backside, treating him like a dog.

"I told you to be a 'dog licker', I told you to be a 'dog licker'! Did I give you Face?! Huh?!"

"Your grandpa, I Transmigrated here, worked diligently for countless years, and my lifelong reputation is ruined by your hands!

I originally hoped you would carry your grandpa, me! But now it seems, there's no hope for you, you 'dog licker'!"

Duke Zhenguo Dongfang Guyue was furious, savagely beating this 'good grandson' who was missing a few screws.

The Dongfang Family had been ordered to be massacred by the Great Xia Emperor, and he was still thinking about that girl.

Of course, he had personally killed the other people in the Dongfang Family residence, but this way, the male members of the Dongfang Family could return their souls to the netherworld, and the female members would not suffer humiliation.

The moment he raised his blade to kill his own children and grandchildren, how much pain his heart felt, perhaps only Emperor Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty who did the same thing, could understand.

Today, he had intended to burn everything, to clear away the last troubles for his grandson, but he never expected that even after all this, he hadn't awakened. He was just a dead 'dog licker', a useless fellow!

【Ding! Wandering child from afar! You, like us, are a pitiful person with a home you cannot return to. Join us, join our All-Heavens Great Love Family! Here, you will gain a group of relatives, but please note, relatives cannot be sacrificed, so please do not easily do foolish things that harm others and yourself!】
