140: Chapter 140

Lan Qiu did not turn around, continuing to rub his hands together, generating lightning as he maintained his spell.

"Excellent, the pupil is teachable! Leave this woman here. You may leave first."

"Yes..."

Lan Xiang slowly backed out of the room, obediently closing the heavy door to the Secret Chamber. His clothes were soaked through with sweat, largely due to his fear of his father.

He was terrified that this matter would displease Lan Qiu and result in severe punishment once more.

Violet remained limp on the floor, trembling uncontrollably. At least she had seen the world.

Faced with Lan Qiu's terrifying appearance, she dared not act flirtatious at all. Instead, she clutched her chest even tighter.

She had long heard that Lan Qiu and his son had no interest in women. She feared that her own seductive aura might bring about her death.

"Haha, the Ben Lei Palm is finally mastered."

Blue lightning still crackled around Lan Qiu's arms. He turned to look at Violet, his gaze sharp as he lightly twitched his blue beard.

"Manager Violet, it's been a while. I invited you here today simply to ask a few questions. Please, do not be nervous."

Violet's lips trembled. "P-please, Duke Lan, make your inquiry clear."

"I heard you have a peerless beauty who wears a golden mask. Could you introduce her to this old man?"

Violet knew her subordinates inside out. She remembered not only their figures and appearances clearly, but also which skills each excelled at.

The high-ranking officials and nobles who sought entertainment at her establishment would be matched with the most suitable Purple Elf beauties based on their individual temperaments.

As for the golden-masked beauty Lan Qiu mentioned, she was certain she had never seen her. Moreover, wearing masks was strictly forbidden in the Violet Orchid Pavilion unless specifically requested by a client.

"I report to the Duke, this humble one has never seen the peerless beauty you speak of."

Lan Qiu then produced the portrait given by Lan Xiang, which bore an eighty percent resemblance to Feng Yun. After looking at it, Violet's face was blank with confusion.

She shook her head repeatedly, indicating she hadn't seen her. Seeing Lan Qiu's expression suddenly darken, she immediately sensed great danger.

"Spare me, Duke! This humble one truly knows nothing!"

Perhaps in high spirits from his divine technique Breakthrough, Lan Qiu then revealed a faint smile. He slowly walked over to Violet and personally helped her up from the floor.

"Manager Violet, there's no need to be so afraid. I said it was just a simple chat."

"I've heard Manager Violet's skills are exceptional. This old man has spent these years mostly in secluded cultivation and never had the chance to witness them. Truly a great regret."

Clearly craving meat, yet still pretending to be righteous and dignified.

Violet certainly understood the implied meaning in Lan Qiu's words. So, she pretended to lose her footing, staggering and bumping right into Lan Qiu's chest.

This tactic was somewhat similar to Jinlian hitting Ximen with a wooden staff—it was a test of the other party's true intentions.

The moment he touched Violet's smooth arm, Lan Qiu's entire body shuddered as if electrified.

For decades, he had been cultivating the Ben Lei Palm. Not only did he have to abstain from women, he had to completely sever lustful thoughts from his heart, or all his efforts would be wasted.

That's why he made Lan Qiu follow the same path. With such a strict father constantly driving him, Lan Xiang's strength had also advanced by leaps and bounds.

Now that Lan Qiu had mastered the Ben Lei Palm, he was definitely ready to indulge.

And just at this moment, Violet had delivered herself to his doorstep. It couldn't be more perfect.

Violet began to act seductively, dancing a sexy, hot dance around Lan Qiu.

Then, slowly, she began to remove her clothes. She lightly bit her purple lips, every movement enchantingly alluring.

"Come here, beauty."

Lan Qiu couldn't take it anymore. He swept Violet up into his arms and began kissing her all over.

Having abstained from women for decades, the pent-up frustration was indeed bitter.

Faced with a recognized Exquisite beauty (peerless seductress) of the Elf Clan like Violet, he certainly couldn't hold back.

With decades of pent-up desire, his lust was raging. Even if it were an old sow, he would have taken action.

Lan Xiang was standing guard right outside the Secret Chamber and could faintly hear the commotion inside.

He was in a state of utter confusion. His father constantly warned him against getting close to women, yet here he was, turning around and getting all heated with Violet.

Lan Xiang felt severely deceived, used as a tool by his father.

He had even fabricated a bunch of high-sounding reasons, saying things like capturing Magli would be of great use.

To obtain Violet, he had killed so many high-ranking officials and nobles, even slaughtering the Imperial Uncle and his son.

"Why would Father do this? If he wanted to play around, he didn't need to go to such great lengths."

Boom!

A violent explosion sounded from the Secret Chamber. Worried for his father's safety, Lan Xiang rushed in to check.

He saw Violet lying naked on the ground, her entire body emitting black smoke, her purple hair singed.

Lan Qiu sighed. "How did this happen? I only used a little too much force."

"Father, are you alright?"

Lan Qiu roared, "Get out! Who told you to come in!"

A bolt of lightning over ten meters long shot forth, blasting Lan Xiang's back and making it smoke.

Killing a casual partner on the spot like that was truly perverse. Even Xiao Bai wouldn't do such a thing.

Unless killing intent arose in an instant, and Kunli released a deadly poison, poisoning the other party after the act was done.

Chapter 185: Taking Control of the Elf Kingdom

Violet's sudden death mid-act did not move Lan Qiu in the slightest.

She was merely a casual partner for venting desires. Given Lan Qiu's ruthless style, he wouldn't have let her live afterwards anyway.

Lan Qiu straightened his disheveled hair, put on clean, tidy clothes, and with one palm strike, reduced Violet's corpse to dust.

Lan Xiang remained stationed outside the door. Even with complaints in his heart, he dared not leave without his father's command.

"Xiang'er, your father's Ben Lei Palm is complete. The death warriors nurtured for decades can finally be put to use. It is time to eradicate the Green Elves."

"We will take complete control of the entire Elf Kingdom. Once we obtain the royal seal from the king's hands and combine it with that little slut Magli's virgin blood, we can successfully open the Demon Emperors Tomb."

"Yes..."

Only then did Lan Xiang understand Magli's importance. They had searched the entire Elf Kingdom without finding a trace of her. They could only expand the search area.

Xiao Bai also gained no further information from the Green Elf beauties. He could only focus his efforts on Magbi once again.

Boom!

Continuous loud rumbles came from outside the cave. Xiao Bai transformed into a wisp of white smoke and drifted out through a crevice in the cave entrance to investigate.

Thick, billowing smoke filled the village below the mountain. Xiao Bai returned to the cave and instructed Feng Yun on a few matters.

"War has broken out in the Elf Kingdom. Thick smoke is everywhere in the village. Keep an eye on them for now."

"Don't let them leave here. There's plenty of food prepared over there. I'm going to the village to gather information. I suspect it's an invasion by another clan, possibly related to the Demon Emperors Tomb."

Feng Yun nodded. "Go ahead. I'll guard here."

After giving his instructions, Xiao Bai sped towards Mag Village at his fastest pace. The Blue Elves had crossed the central boundary river and were continuously launching attacks against the Green Elves.

Over a hundred winged dragons filled the sky, dropping explosives onto the Green Elves' houses.

The Green Elves scattered and fled, failing to organize an effective counterattack.

They were stunned by this mysterious force that had suddenly appeared among the Blue Elves. The entire Elf Kingdom had only a little over two thousand registered elves.

The number of Blue Elves was originally less than a thousand. Suddenly, nearly a thousand death warriors appeared from who-knows-where, completely overwhelming the Green Elves in numbers.

They caught the Green Elves completely off guard. Male elves were slaughtered outright, while female elves with even slightly decent looks were all captured and imprisoned.

Lan Xiang, wielding twin blades, chased Terry all the way, forcing him to the edge of a cliff. Only a dozen or so of Terry's personal guards remained by his side.

The large force behind Lan Xiang had already caught up. His short blades, stained with green blood, pointed directly at Terry.

"Young Master Terry, you have nowhere left to run. Surrender now, and perhaps you can keep your miserable life."

Terry gripped his longsword tightly and roared, "You bastard, you hid deep enough. Usually acting all harmless, but secretly so treacherous."

"Kill them...!"

Terry gave the combat order to his remaining guards. Lan Xiang spun his twin blades and charged forward.

He entered a mode of chaotic slaughter, like cutting melons and vegetables. In less than two minutes, all of Terry's dozen-plus guards were dead.

Their deaths were gruesome; all their heads were severed, green blood flowing down the cliff along the stone crevices.

"Considering we are both among the three Young Masters, I'll give you one more chance."

Terry was addicted to sensual pleasures and unable to extricate himself, but he was no coward. Even outnumbered and surrounded, he refused to yield, which somewhat surprised Lan Xiang.

"You dog! Even if I die today, I'll take a few of you with me!"

"Fine. Let's see what you're capable of."

Lan Xiang swung his twin blades, launching a fatal strike. Terry was not as weak as imagined. At first, they fought back and forth evenly.

As time passed, a gap gradually opened between them. Lan Xiang held a slight advantage in both stamina and the application of magic.

After over an hour of fierce combat, Terry was slain. Lan Xiang's right arm was also severely wounded.

Upon returning, Lan Qiu severely reprimanded him, calling him foolish for engaging Terry in a one-on-one duel despite having such an overwhelming advantage.

Under Lan Qiu's coercion and inducements, King Mag Longshan ultimately handed over the royal seal to preserve his life.

But Lan Qiu did not keep his promise. After obtaining the seal, he struck Mag Longshan dead with a single palm, becoming the new king of the Elf Clan. The king's harem naturally became his as well.

From then on, the Blue Elves completely controlled the Elf Kingdom. Elves of other colors were reduced to slaves.

Xiao Bai witnessed all of this. The usually silent and reticent Lan Xiang from the consort selection ceremony was actually so ruthless, which truly opened Xiao Bai's eyes.

"I have no desire to interfere in the internal affairs of the Elf Clan. The Blue Elf leader hid his ambitions for decades and seized the throne with thunderous methods, likely related to the Demon Emperors Tomb."

Xiao Bai transformed into a mosquito and closely tailed Lan Qiu, eventually discovering that Magli was the key to opening the Demon Emperors Tomb.

Almost all the elves were sent out to search for Magli, continuously expanding the search area.

"So Magli actually has this ability. Good thing I didn't mess with her, otherwise the Demon Emperors Tomb could never be opened."
