178: Chapter 178 The healing buff is broken! The Empress is forced to get back on the bus!

Liuguang City!

Jiang Yutang announced her identity in a very high-profile manner: former Personal Disciple of Empress Xuanhuang of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace, current Personal Disciple under Sect Master Wang Yang of the Hehuan Sect, and a powerful Cultivator at the 8th layer of the Body Integration Stage!

Once this identity was revealed, all forces within a radius of ten thousand miles were completely stunned!

Those local forces that had been eyeing Liuguang City covetously due to the fall of the old City Lord, and even those who were outwardly obedient but inwardly defiant, were all scared out of their wits.

Overnight, they prepared extremely generous gifts, crawled and scrambled to the front gate of the Liuguang City Lord's Mansion to kowtow and apologize, swearing to return to the governance of Liuguang City and never betray it again!

With the military deterrent of Jiang Yutang at the 8th layer of the Body Integration Stage, the crisis of Liuguang City was simply and completely resolved!

In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, inside the ancestral hall.

Ye Liuli's eyes were slightly red, bringing along the "personal maid Xia Xuanji" (who was actually Empress Yanming Xia Xuanji in disguise), she respectfully offered a stick of incense to her father who had fallen not long ago.

"Father, did you see it from heaven? Your daughter has finally guarded Liuguang City and preserved the foundation you worked so hard to build!"

Ye Liuli looked at her father's spirit tablet, a faint, extremely moving blush appearing on her cheeks, reporting with some shyness yet extreme pride:

"Moreover... your daughter has also found you an extremely powerful, extremely reliable son-in-law!"

"In the future, with our Liuguang City under the protection of my husband's Hehuan Sect, and guarded by Sister Yutang, there will never be any danger again!"

"Daughter... daughter is about to go to the Hehuan Sect to marry him, you can finally rest in peace in the netherworld."

Standing behind her, Xia Xuanji was blooming with joy inside.

"Hehe, this little City Lord is quite pretty! Once we reach the Hehuan Sect, I, this Empress, will use the name of your bed-warming maid to logically Dual Cultivate with that Sect Master Wang. Breaking the Mahayana Stage deadlock is just around the corner!"

"Besides, the outside world doesn't know it's me, so it won't damage the prestige of my Xingyan Immortal Sect!"

After paying respects to her father, Ye Liuli efficiently summoned a trusted aide who had always followed the old City Lord faithfully and directly promoted him to be the Deputy City Lord of Liuguang City.

"From now on, the daily affairs inside the mansion and the city will be fully entrusted to you."

"If you really encounter something you cannot solve, go directly to the Hehuan Sect to find me!"

After explaining everything, Ye Liuli couldn't wait to pack her things and set off to find her "ideal husband."

...

Meanwhile, in the guest room of the City Lord's Mansion.

Chu Lingyue herself, who had long swapped identities with Xia Xuanji and was currently disguised as the "down-and-out best friend Xia Hua," was sitting cross-legged on the bed, feeling extremely depressed, looking inside at her Physical Body, wanting to cry without tears.

"Damn it! Why is there suddenly no response?!" Chu Lingyue herself grabbed her hair in extreme agitation.

Originally, she thought that with the assistance of the "Dual Cultivation power" generated by her Clone's Dual Cultivation, her injuries could recover quickly, and she could return to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace.

But who would have thought that after that night, that energetic Grandmaster Wang seemed to feel that it was boring to always "pick on one sheep," and actually, with no martial ethics at all... changed the person!!!

Wang Yang ran off to find Xiao Yuhan, Bai Ningbing, and other Dao Companions for "extra lessons"!

With this, the "remote healing buff" for Chu Lingyue herself was directly and ruthlessly cut off!

Her Origin injuries were not easy to repair, and now her cultivation was stuck at the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage!

"With just this mere Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, if I, this Empress, dare to leave Liuguang City alone, I'm afraid it won't be very safe!"

Chu Lingyue herself gritted her teeth in extreme grievance: "Unlucky! I'm even getting my teeth stuck drinking cold water! Now I can't run, and I can't stay, what should I do?!"

"This lecher Wang Yang, why didn't you want to Dual Cultivate when I wanted to? You Dual Cultivated every day. Now that I let you Dual Cultivate, why are you not moving anymore?"

Just as Chu Lingyue was frowning, the door of the guest room was knocked.

"Sister Xia Hua, have you packed up? We are going to set off!" Jiang Yutang walked in with a face full of joy.

Having not seen Wang Yang for a few days, and having tasted the sweetness, the Jiang Disciple, who had just experienced the wonderful feeling of "newlyweds after a brief separation," was now eager to go home, wishing she could immediately grow wings and fly back to the Hehuan Sect to ask her extremely charming "Revered Master and husband" for some advice.

Therefore, once the mess here was resolved, she didn't want to stay for even a moment longer!

Following Jiang Yutang were Ye Liuli and the very immersed "maid Xia Xuanji" (Empress Yanming Xia Xuanji).

"Set off? Go... where?" Chu Lingyue herself felt a thump in her heart.

Ye Liuli walked forward and gently took Chu Lingyue's hand: "Sister Xia Hua, the matters here have all been resolved, we must immediately set off back to the Hehuan Sect."

"You are seriously injured, your cultivation has plummeted, and it is too dangerous to leave alone now."

Saying this, Ye Liuli turned to look at the "maid Xia Xuanji" beside her and winked: "Xuanji, hurry up and persuade your good friend to come with us."

"Alright, Sister Liuli!" The real Xia Xuanji immediately stepped forward flatteringly, tightly gripping Chu Lingyue's cold, jade-like hand, her eyes flashing with a very intense "mischievous" light, and persuaded her emotionally:

"Oh, Huahua, my good friend! Sister Liuli is absolutely right!"

"You are only at the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage now. With demons running rampant outside, it is still very unsafe for you to run around alone!"

Jiang Yutang nodded: "Besides, you and Sister Xuanji are 'good sisters'!"

"Sister Xuanji is about to go to the Hehuan Sect to marry my Revered Master and husband. As a good friend, don't you want to witness her 'grand wedding'?"

"At such an important moment, you, as a best friend, must be present to witness it!"

"Just come with us to the Hehuan Sect! Not only can you catch some of the happy atmosphere, but you can also take the opportunity to recuperate your injuries with the extremely dense Spiritual Qi there! Right, Chu... Sister Xia Hua?"

Xia Xuanji thought to herself, as long as she could Dual Cultivate with Wang Yang, her cultivation would definitely recover quickly, and then she could suppress Chu Lingyue and beat her up to vent her anger!

She had served her as a maid to swap identities with her!

Listening to Xia Xuanji's "enthusiastic invitation," Chu Lingyue herself was so angry that she almost spat a mouthful of old blood onto her arch-rival's extremely punchable face!

"Witness your grand wedding?! You go and throw yourself at him, and you want this Empress to applaud and cheer for you on the side?! Can you, Xia the Charlatan, be any more shameless?!"

Chu Lingyue roared frantically in her heart.

However, looking at Jiang Yutang's urging gaze and her own pitiful Soul Transformation Stage cultivation.

Chu Lingyue sadly discovered that she had no room to refuse at all!

"I... I will go with you..." Empress Xuanhuang Chu Lingyue herself bit her back teeth and squeezed these words out from between her teeth.

Just like that.

Chu Lingyue, who had only escaped from the Hehuan Sect a few days ago, after a series of absurd tossings.

Not only did her cultivation fall to the Soul Transformation Stage, but she also extremely aggrievedly followed her "remodeled" arch-rival, her own Personal Disciple, and the Liuguang City Lord Ye Liuli.

The four of them, once again, helplessly embarked on the journey back to that "demon den"!
