I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

176: The people of Dongxuan Canglan City are extremely dissatisfied with Tuoba Qiong!Tu Shan Yu shot her an annoyed glance.

Ao Qian looked at Tu Shan Youyou, revealing a rare smile, and said, “Is the Fox Clan Saintess interested in marrying my son?”

He was half-joking and half-serious, essentially probing. If he could truly marry the Fox Clan Saintess and have Tu Shan Yu assist him, he would gain an extra source of help in the next great war and secure greater merit!

“Marry?”

“Impossible!”

“Your son is not worthy of me!”

“Say that again, and I’ll punch you!” Tu Shan Youyou waved her small fist, looking angry.

Ao Qian didn’t take it to heart at all. He just smiled and continued, “My youngest son has the best talent. He was born an Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon, and though he is the same age as you, he has already touched the Void Return Layer Realm. Only two or three people in the entire Heavenly Demon Realm can compare to him. Is he still unworthy?”

Just as Tu Shan Youyou was about to speak again, Tu Shan Yu interrupted, saying, “Lord Ao, please dismiss this notion. Our Fox Clan Saintess never marries outside the clan.”

Ao Qian smiled indifferently, seemingly having anticipated this answer long ago.

After an unknown amount of time, Ao Qian stood up and left, leaving only Tu Shan Yu and Tu Shan Youyou in the pavilion.

“This makes me so angry!” Tu Shan Youyou plopped down onto Ao Qian’s seat and aggressively drank a mouthful of tea.

Tu Shan Yu looked at her with a doting expression and said, “Youyou, do you want to go to the Human Race territory to play?”

“Hmm???” Tu Shan Youyou immediately looked surprised and asked incredulously, “Old Ancestor, are you serious?”

She had never left home and had long been bored stiff. The place she most wanted to visit was the Human Race territory, as she heard there were many things there that the Monster Realm lacked.

“Of course, it’s true. However, the prerequisite is that you must first achieve a Breakthrough into the Void Return Realm. Otherwise, I won’t be able to help you evade the detection of the Human Race’s supreme experts,” Tu Shan Yu said gently.

“Okay!”

“I’ll go back—no, no, no, I’ll go into secluded cultivation right now! I’ll reach Void Return immediately, Old Ancestor, wait for me!”

Tu Shan Youyou turned and swiftly departed.

Tu Shan Yu watched her flying figure, remaining silent for a long time. After an unknown period, he finally turned his head, leaned over the chessboard, and muttered to himself.

“Old friend, the game is still ongoing. We haven’t lost yet...”

Immediately, he looked up at the sky, revealing a trace of shock he had never felt in his previous life.

“The person who cannot be divined—whose past and future are invisible—has finally appeared...”

“Shen Nian...”

Wu Yue Mountain, territory of the Azure Black Dragon Clan.

Inside the majestic palace.

Above the throne, Ao Qian opened his eyes. His spirit, which had been wandering the Qing Qiu Divine Sea, returned, and a trace of contemplation appeared in his eyes. He was half-skeptical of the Qing Qiu Old Ancestor’s words.

After all, the Qing Qiu Fox Clan was different from the Five Great Royal Clans; they did not share the same origin and did not all flow with the Bloodline of the Candle Nine Nethers Old Ancestor.

Even though the Qing Qiu Old Ancestor had accumulated considerable merit over the years, his father had warned him before death to be vigilant and not take things lightly.

“What exactly does this old fox want to do...” Ao Qian muttered thoughtfully in his heart.

He felt like something was fishy.

Right at this moment.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

An elder appeared in the great hall, kneeling on one knee with an expression of utmost respect. This was the person who had dispatched Xuan Ye and Xuan Ling, and he was one of the three Hall Masters of the Azure Black Dragon Clan, a Great Demon at the Void Return Eleventh Layer.

Ao Qian’s gaze swept over him.

”Your Majesty, recently the Heavenly Demon Cave encountered an attack from a commander of the Shen Family’s Cangtian Army. A Shen Family Disciple appeared in the Lower Realm, and your subordinate sent Xuan Ye and Xuan Ling to investigate, but both were killed. Your subordinate worries that changes in the Lower Realm may affect our realm’s great plan, so I specially came to report...” After the elder finished speaking, he was extremely nervous, his hair standing on end.

Although Ao Qian looked scholarly and refined, his temper was notoriously explosive.

Every individual of the Azure Black Dragon Clan was incredibly precious. Although their nature was lustful, it was extremely difficult for them to give birth to a Dragon Clan member possessing the Bloodline Legacy; otherwise, the Heavenly Demon Realm would have long been spread throughout by Royal Clans.

Due to his carelessness, two people were lost, and not even a shred of intelligence was brought back, which made him ready to accept punishment.

At the same time, he cursed inwardly.

Damn it!

What exactly is going on in this Lower Realm? Two Royal Clan members at the Void Return Third Layer went and never returned!

Who is the one taking action!

“Go, mobilize the Azure Dragon Army, and station them in the Heavenly Demon Cave to await orders,” Ao Qian replied flatly, his tone devoid of emotion.

The elder was stunned for a moment, looking up with a trace of disbelief.

Huh?

Mobilize the Azure Dragon Army?

Is he going to completely wipe out the Lower Realm??

The Azure Dragon Army was a great army composed of the Azure Black Dragon Clan, and the weakest among them possessed Soul Transformation cultivation.

“May I ask, Your Majesty, how many should be mobilized?” the elder cautiously inquired.

Ao Qian narrowed his eyes and spoke.

“All of them.”

The elder froze in place... Upper Realm.

Eastern Profound.

Among the Five Domains, Eastern Profound had the most Human Race Cultivators. The reason was simple: the Purple Qi Comes from the East, making the Spiritual Power of Eastern Profound the strongest among the Five Domains, coupled with the presence of the Human Race’s strongest, the Shen Family, presiding over it.

The size of Eastern Profound exceeded the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty by more than a hundredfold, and its Spiritual Qi was as dense as that inside a Secret Realm. Mortals born here were nurtured by the heavens and earth from birth; even those without talent were several times stronger physically than Mortals in the Lower Realm, easily living past a hundred years old. If they possessed even a tiny bit of talent, entering Qi Condensation was far, far simpler than in the Lower Realm.

Thus, Qi Condensation Cultivators could be seen everywhere doing things Mortals do: farming, being stable hands, herding cattle, and so on... One of the Five Cities of Eastern Profound, Canglan City.

Although it was a city, its area was larger than the combined area of the Nine Provinces, and Cultivators within it were as numerous as cattle hair.

The sun was bright and beautiful.

These days, Canglan City was even livelier because there were rumors that Shen Nian, the long-lost Young Clan Leader of the Shen Family, would soon return to the Family, drawing the attention of the younger generation across the Five Domains.

If it were just the return of the Young Clan Leader of the Shen Family, it wouldn’t have reached this level. The most crucial point was that the Young Clan Leader of the Shen Family had inexplicably been ranked fifth on the profound dragon ranking by the Old Man Tianji, which greatly dissatisfied Tuoba Qiong, the Prodigy of the Tuoba Clan from the Northern Domain, who publicly declared he would challenge Shen Nian.

This immediately made many people restless.

Who didn’t know Tuoba Qiong? He was a genuine Prodigy at the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation, only six years older than Shen Nian, and was the most talented person in the Tuoba Clan for thousands of years. He had comprehended their Clan’s Legacy Cultivation Technique, the Battle Saint Formula, and achieved extremely high mastery!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to fight back and forth against the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body!

Lanyue Tower.

Magnificent and opulent, adorned with Spiritual Jade, all the materials used were extraordinary; it was a famous restaurant in Canglan City.

At this moment, those seated in the tower were all well-known figures in Canglan City.

“Young Master, you just saved my life. I must repay you no matter what. How about this: today’s meal here in Lanyue Tower is all on me!”

A White-robed Figure stood outside the tower, gazing at this familiar world with a slight look of daze as countless memories flooded in.

“Eastern Profound...”

“I’m finally back...”
