26: Jun Wuchen's plan, the city lord fell

In the center of Sunset City, there was a cluster of palaces.

Among them, the magnificent and exquisite pavilions were surrounded by colorful clouds, truly beautiful and unparalleled.

This was the hub of the entire Sunset City, and also the City Lord's Mansion that governed the entire city.

A divine carriage streaked across the sky, its precious light flowing, a brilliant stream of light drawing an arc across the firmament, landing in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

The guards had never seen such a grand divine carriage and their expressions changed drastically, becoming as silent as cicadas in winter.

Coupled with the low roar of the Golden Dragon Lion, it scared them so much that their hearts trembled.

They wondered which important figure had arrived!

When they saw the graceful woman step down from the divine carriage, these guards immediately knelt down.

"Greetings, Ji Ruoyun!"

Ji Ruoyun had now recovered her dignified and noble demeanor, an aura of authority radiating from her, completely devoid of the seductive charm she displayed with Su Shengyuan in the cave.

Following closely, Su Shengyuan, holding Ye Liuli's fair and delicate hand, slowly walked out of the divine carriage, truly a pair of immortal companions.

The man was handsome and refined, the woman exquisitely beautiful, with a hint of allure in her cool demeanor.

Ye Liuli didn't know where Su Shengyuan had brought back such a dignified and noble woman, but she didn't ask further.

Although she already had a deep-rooted relationship with Su Shengyuan.

She still knew what to ask and what not to ask.

As for the two personal maids, Qingluan and Hongye, there was even less to say.

Their life philosophy was that whatever Young Master said or did was right, and they wouldn't hesitate even if he told them to commit suicide.

"Hmm, inform everyone that a distinguished guest has arrived. Anyone who dares to offend the distinguished guest will be executed without mercy."

As Ji Ruoyun's order was issued.

The entire City Lord's Mansion instantly became lively.

All the housekeepers and servants speculated about what kind of important figure had come to the City Lord's Mansion, to be personally hosted by the City Lord's Ji Ruoyun.

...

In a relatively secluded courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Jun Wuchen sat on a stone stool in the courtyard, his eyes filled with gloom, almost spewing flames, his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging, displaying his anger.

"Ancient Su Family! Su Family! What a narrow road for enemies!"

Jun Wuchen spat out each word through clenched teeth, his teeth grinding audibly.

He had naturally heard that Ji Ruoyun had brought back an important figure, and he didn't need to think to know who it was—it must be the young man he saw in the ancient forest.

He hadn't expected that young man to be so greedy.

Of course, none of this was the reason for Jun Wuchen's anger.

The real reason for his anger was that he had learned the identity of that young man.

He was actually the contemporary Saint of the Ancient Su Family!

Before Jun Wuchen's Possession and Rebirth, he was a Saint Ancestor-level Heavenly Giant, who, over a thousand years ago, competed for an Opportunity with an Old Ancestor of the Su Family and was powerfully suppressed and killed.

Fortunately, a wisp of his remnant Soul survived, lingering for over a thousand years, only then gaining the ability to perform the Possession technique and successfully occupy Jun Wuchen's body.

Therefore, he had a Life and Death feud with the Su Family.

Now that he had encountered the Saint of the Su Family, he naturally wanted to kill him quickly.

Moreover, this Su Family Saint had also intercepted his long-planned major event.

New hatred and old grudges combined.

Jun Wuchen was almost on the verge of collapse, his rage had escalated to the extreme.

"Hehe, the news of Jun Tianhong's death should be coming back soon, right? Next, it's time to plan for the City Lord position. Using Ji Ruoyun's status as a widow as a shield, the City Lord position shouldn't be a problem."

"To kill the Su Family's Saint, this Saint has ten thousand ways to kill him, but I need to find a way to clear my suspicions. I currently cannot bear the wrath of the Su Family."

"This damned obsession, alright, alright, this Saint will definitely help you get Ji Ruoyun, and also your sister. Of course, Jun Tianhong's little beast of a son will also be taken care of for you."

...

...

In a magnificent and grand Ancient Hall.

Su Shengyuan sat at the head of the table, his expression relaxed, savoring the delicacies before him.

Ji Ruoyun sat beside him, pouring wine for Su Shengyuan, her demeanor graceful and appropriate.

As for Ye Liuli and the others, Su Shengyuan had sent them to another ancient city to search for a precious medicine.

This was also the news Su Shengyuan had received immediately after entering the City Lord's Mansion.

Ye Liuli's cold illness was not so easily cured; it required various rare and precious medicines combined, and then Medicine Saint personally taking action, only then would there be a chance for a complete cure.

So, during this time, Su Shengyuan had sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of those precious medicines.

Coincidentally, a subordinate force of the Su Family had found news that a precious medicine he needed was about to be auctioned in the ancient city next to Sunset City.

So Su Shengyuan sent Qingluan, Ye Liuli, and the others to go together.

Of course, such a small matter didn't require them to go in person.

Removing all the powerful individuals around him was to create an Opportunity for Jun Wuchen to act.

It must be said that for this Son of Destiny, Su Shengyuan truly went to great lengths.

"Young Master Su's esteemed presence in my Sunset City truly brings glory to Sunset City."

A young man dressed in splendid robes slowly stood up, raising his wine cup, and bowed slightly to Su Shengyuan at the head of the table.

This young man was none other than.

Jun Tianhong's biological son, Jun Xiaoyao!

Jun Xiaoyao was the leader of the younger generation in Sunset City, not only possessing the potential of eight Dao Palace, but his cultivation had also reached the Middle Stage of the Dao Palace Realm.

He once fought against a Middle Stage Nascent Soul Realm expert for three hundred rounds with this Realm's cultivation and did not lose. After this matter spread, it became a topic of relish for all forces within Sunset City.

They directly stated that the Jun Family had produced a Prodigy Genius!

However, compared to Su Shengyuan at the head of the table, all of this seemed insignificant.

Su Shengyuan raised his wine cup, lifting it in the air, "Young Master is too kind. The unique scenery in Sunset City is unparalleled, and Ji Ruoyun is even more warm-hearted. This Saint was fortunate enough to meet Ji Ruoyun, so I came to admire this unique scenery and walk that ancient Dao. I have indeed disturbed everyone."

His voice was gentle, without an arrogant attitude, nor overbearing dominance.

Su Shengyuan's refined demeanor undoubtedly left an indelible good impression on everyone present.

Only Ji Ruoyun secretly glanced at Su Shengyuan.

The Deception of that face was too strong.

Those who didn't know would think this Su Family Saint was a very proper person.

Moreover, that ancient Dao you walked...

Was it proper?

"Haha, Young Master Su, you flatter me. My mother is indeed warm-hearted and likes to help people in need."

Unaware, Jun Xiaoyao's face was praised by Su Shengyuan, and he felt his Soul almost floating to the clouds.

Although the Su Family Saint praised his mother, as her son, he naturally also felt proud.

Ji Ruoyun was silent!

It seemed her foolish son still didn't understand what Su Shengyuan meant, did he?

Just then!

A stumbling guard commander suddenly rushed in from outside.

"Ji Ruoyun, something bad has happened! City Lord... he... he has fallen..."
