Chapter 852 -856: Scheming

We must escape, as long as we keep the green mountains unharmed.

Just as Zhu Minglang was considering possible responses, Nan Lingsha reached out with her smooth, tender hand and gently held Zhu Minglang’s palm.

Zhu Minglang was momentarily stunned.

The next moment, Zhu Minglang also gripped her hand and whispered, “Don’t be afraid, I can get you out.”

Zhu Minglang took another deep breath, his eyes fixed on the mysterious man in tiger-skin clothing, gauging whether he could inflict serious damage on him before Sword Awakening could strike again…

But at this moment, Nan Lingsha gently tugged her veil off with her other hand.

“The culprit who killed Flowing God?” Nan Lingsha asked with a cool voice, carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and skepticism, “If I remember correctly, on the day that incident with Flowing God occurred, I was still on my way back to the God Capital. The entire Quan Jin Hui Divine Army can vouch for me, Li Yunzi…”

Upon hearing these words, Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but feel startled, but he quickly recovered, silently exclaiming in his mind: My dear sister-in-law is incredibly clever!!

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

Cough cough!!

Zhu Minglang himself was an old thespian well-versed in the ways of the world.

He immediately got into character, with a serious and impatient face, he said, “Where did you get this false information? I’ve been recuperating here with my wife. If there were any culprits here defying divine authority, we would have captured them already.”

“Martial Saint?” Worship Sage Song Tao looked astonished at the woman who had removed her veil.

“Li Yunzi??” Xiang Shen was also stunned.

Indeed, the painter they had encountered initially was veiled, but in Xuange Country Capital, including Xuan Ge himself, it was common practice to wear veils, so identity could not be determined by the wearing of a veil alone.

Yet, the woman with Zhu Minglang was none other than the Martial Saint Li Yunzi, dressed in ordinary but beautiful attire…

“Is there anyone else in the courtyard?” Worship Sage Song Tao immediately asked.

“Just a friend of mine, a Dragon Shepherd,” Zhu Minglang called Fang Niannian over.

Fang Niannian promptly performed a Summoning Stove Dragon to prove her innocence as not being the painter, the God and Mortal.

The thousands of God Forbidden Army soldiers who had descended from the heavens were now at a loss, with the leader of the God Forbidden Army even rushing to pay respects to Nan Lingsha.

“The Saint is here, we were unaware and have offended the Martial Saint, please forgive us!” the leader of the God Forbidden Army knelt down.

The rest of the God Forbidden Army naturally knew the standing of the Martial Saint in Xuan Ge’s domain, and they too knelt down to pay their respects one by one.

“Li Yunzi, why are you here?” Xiang Shen felt that something was amiss and thus asked.

“After the conference ended, I came to look for my husband. Is there a problem with that?” Nan Lingsha countered.

“Exactly, do you think everyone is like you, a lonely woman wandering about everywhere!” Fang Niannian snapped angrily.

Xiang Shen glared fiercely at the sharp-tongued little girl.

“Whose orders are you following?” Nan Lingsha asked coldly, imitating Li Yunzi’s imperious tone!

Worship Sage Song Tao, Xiang Shen, the leader of the God Forbidden Army, and the mysterious man in the tiger-skin clothing all fell silent.

At this moment, they dared not admit they were acting on orders from Xuan Ge God.

“It was me… I was the one who believed the false news and disturbed the Martial Saint’s seclusion. I, Song Tao, owe you an apology,” Worship Sage Song Tao finally gritted his teeth, willing to take the blame for the moment on behalf of Xuan Ge God.

“Is that so, I almost thought Our God was a thankless wretch…” Nan Lingsha said.

Worship Sage broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Yunzi had made significant contributions, returning victorious from repelling Ming Meng’s Divine Army.

The entire Xuange Country Capital naturally knew of the name of Li Yunzi, the Valkyrie. And if word got out now that Xuan Ge had the God Forbidden Army encircle Li Yunzi’s personal mansion…

Wouldn’t that be tantamount to telling everyone that Xuan Ge God was envious of the Martial Saint’s military exploits and was suppressing a Valkyrie returning triumphantly?

“Our God was unaware, the Martial Saint must not overthink. It was my mistake, my fault,” Worship Sage Song Tao came forward, bending deeply at the waist in a prolonged bow to apologize.

“Disperse, do not cause unnecessary panic and misunderstanding,” Nan Lingsha said.

“Yes, yes!” Worship Sage immediately gestured to the leader of the God Forbidden Army.

The leader of the God Forbidden Army was no less frightened and hurriedly led the Divine Army out of the Xia Mountain Semi-Court.

The golden wind barrier formation was also deciphered and lifted, and what had begun as an aggressive capture receded like the tide.

Although Xiang Shen still had some confusion, she knew that if the situation escalated it could greatly damage Xuan Ge God’s reputation…

…

Inside the courtyard, Zhu Minglang watched as the God Forbidden Army left and then heaved a long sigh of relief.

That was close!!

It had almost been a disaster.

Thankfully, his sister-in-law was quick-witted!

But there was still a huge problem.

If Li Yunzi were seen somewhere at this moment, the fact that Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha were twin sisters would be exposed, and their ruse would crumble!

…

At the far end of the road leading into Elephant Mountain, lay the Mansion of Martial Saint.

A figure dressed in soft silk, her face wrapped in a colorful veil, slowly made her way towards the mansion.

Upon seeing her, the Guard was first shocked, then filled with excitement and joy. Just as he was about to kneel and pay his respects, the woman pressed a fair finger to her lips and shook her head.

The guard was suspicious, yet he remained silent, his gaze somewhat infatuated with the woman’s retreating figure.

Entering the Saint Palace’s winding corridors, the woman’s steps were light and slow; at times, she stopped to pluck a flower, at times she paused to read the verses on pavilions, and at times she deliberately took a secluded garden path…

The Mansion of Martial Saint was bustling with maids, gardeners, house servants, guards, and soldiers coming and going, but nobody crossed paths with her along the way; at most, they would see her vanishing around a corner or the back of a gallery just in time to miss her.

The woman made her way straight to Li Yunzi’s courtyard within the Saint Palace, which was much quieter than the outside. Guarding the place was just a thin girl who always stayed by Li Yunzi’s side.

“Where’s your young mistress?” the woman asked as she approached.

Zhi Rou was collecting flower seeds when the woman suddenly appeared, and she couldn’t help but freeze.

The Xuange God!

Why was she here?

Why hadn’t anyone announced her arrival?

“She… she went out,” Zhi Rou replied nervously.

“On duty?”

“To… to see the young master,” Zhi Rou said.

“Oh, I have some matters to discuss confidentially with her. When she returns, tell her I’ve been here,” Xuange said.

“Yes, my respectful farewell to the Xuange God,” Zhi Rou remembered to bow.

The woman in the beautiful sash turned and left.

Upon exiting the courtyard, she no longer deliberately avoided the people in the palace.

“I managed to avoid everyone on the way here, and yet, at the very end, made a mistake, and she’s not here?” Xuange muttered to herself.

…

After Xuange left, Zhi Rou brought the collected flower seeds back to the room.

Entering the room, Zhi Rou was about to brew the seeds into a tea to place in Li Yunzi’s meditation chamber.

“Just plain water will do,”

“Oh, right,” Zhi Rou quickly put away the seeds and exchanged them for a cup of clear water.

As she placed the cup in front of her, Zhi Rou looked at Li Xinghua in her black and green clothes with some perplexity and couldn’t help asking, “Xuange God seemed to have important matters with you, otherwise she wouldn’t have come to the mansion herself. Why did you suddenly instruct me to say you went out to meet the young master?”

“Xuange found out that Ling Sha was the one who killed the Flowing God. There’s been trouble with Ling Sha and the young master,”

“Ah? Then it’s lucky that sister has just woken up. Seems like the Immortal Soup the young master brought indeed has the ability to nourish the soul. Zhi Rou could count the number of times sister has awakened these past three years.”

“It’s just recuperation and cultivation, nothing serious,” Li Xinghua said.

“Since Ling Sha and the young master are in trouble, shouldn’t we hurry to assist them?” Zhi Rou said anxiously.

Xuange was a Mechanist and always gave off a terrifying impression of being able to see through everything at a glance.

“We can’t leave here; there are Xuange’s spies in the mansion,” Li Xinghua shook her head.

“What can we do then?”

“We wait. No one can see me; right now, there can only be one Li Yunzi in the capital,” Li Xinghua said.

…

Mount Xia Semi-Court.

Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha had just avoided a crisis but were now facing a quite troublesome matter.

Gazing at the woman with the colorful sash on her head who appeared before them, Zhu Minglang did his best to maintain a calm and poised expression.

Nan Lingsha was clearly also nervous, and when Zhu Minglang held her hand, he could feel the warm sweat in her palm.

Nan Lingsha released Zhu Minglang’s hand and bowed slightly, offering a simple salute to Xuange God who had suddenly appeared.

“I heard from your maid that you were here, so I came looking for you. There’s something important that might require your personal attention. I apologize for the disturbance,” Xuange God said.

“Please speak, Xuange God,” Nan Lingsha said.

“What has just happened?” Xuange asked.

“Nothing significant; the Ritual Saint must have sensed some sneaky individuals and came with the God Forbidden Army, which turned out to be a misunderstanding,” Nan Lingsha said with a sense of composure.

“The Ritual Saint does tend to be reckless at times; he could learn from you and Qi Qian how to act more cautiously,” Xuange said.

“There’s no need to mention such trivial matters. Has something major happened to require your personal visit?” Nan Lingsha inquired.

“Ming Meng God has arrived in the capital. He has proposed negotiations, and one of his conditions is for you to personally be part of it. Currently, he and his Divine Sword Army are in the White Holy City, which is to the west of the capital. His Divine Sword Army is as powerful as our God Forbidden Army, with more than three thousand soldiers who move like shadows,” Xuange explained.

In the entire Tianshu God Domain, Huachou holds the first place in terms of martial might, and Ming Meng God is undoubtedly the second.

Moreover, Ming Meng God is the only deity bold enough to insult Huachou.

Ming Meng God can be considered the true wild god of Tianshu. If he was confident enough, he might even challenge Huachou personally.

Ming Meng God’s way of negotiating with other gods is just one: by waging war!

The news that Ming Meng God had arrived in the capital had just begun to spread.

Among Tianshu’s thirty-three True Gods, even if the Sparrow Wolf God were to crawl out of his coffin to attend the Leader’s Conference, everyone would believe it, yet Ming Meng God’s participation in such a civilized assembly is the hardest to believe!
