Protect Our Patriarch-Chapter 102Book 5: : Magic Cauldron Sovereign! Top Ten Wanted Criminals

……

"You, child, are good in every way, except for your stubbornness that has persisted since childhood," Ling Nanny sighed. "The True Lord of the Mysterious Pill is an enigmatic figure in the history of the Immortal Dynasty, but at the peak of his glory, he mysteriously disappeared. Even His Majesty, the Guangming Immortal Emperor, spent his entire life searching for him without success."

The Guangming Immortal Emperor was the third generation Immortal Emperor of the Han Yue Immortal Dynasty, posthumously titled "Virtuous and Enlightened," and thus often referred to by later generations as the Guangming Immortal Emperor. The True Lord of the Mysterious Pill was the Mansion Master of her princess mansion when she was a princess.

"Historical records assert that the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill went to another realm and perished there. Therefore, Luojia, you mustn't hold too much hope."

Ling Nanny knew Luojia's nature and feared that the greater her hope, the greater her disappointment, leading to a collapse of her beliefs.

"That's not the case," Princess Luojia slowly shook her head. "I've thoroughly researched the history of the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill. His legendary life deeply impresses me, and he spent his entire life protecting Princess Muyue. I believe his final disappearance must also be related to 'protection.'"

"Muyue" was the title given to the Guangming Immortal Emperor when she was a princess.

"His disappearance was extremely sudden and resolute. After the Guangming Immortal Emperor ascended the throne, she spent her entire life searching for his whereabouts but found no clues. Therefore, I deduce that his 'disappearance' was certainly a meticulously planned move, not a coincidence."

Princess Luojia gazed at the increasingly dense mist over the sea outside the window and murmured, "If there were a chance to ask the Spirit Artifact of the Mysterious Pill what really happened back then, even if I can't inherit the treasure tome, so what?"

Initially, she researched the history of the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill due to a fortuitous discovery of some clues, suspecting that he perished in the Ghost Sea of Reefs, hoping to find the key to unlocking the relic from history.

Yet, as her research deepened, she gradually came to understand the extraordinary nature of the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill, which filled her with admiration. His story of growing together with the Guangming Immortal Emperor moved her deeply.

The disappearance of the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill is also one of the famous mysteries in the history of the Immortal Dynasty.

As they spoke, the distance between the flying carriage and the entrance to the relic rapidly closed.

On a fishing boat, Jiang Qingxue, who had been sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, which flashed like lightning, and looked up at the sky.

"Who goes there?!"

As her thunderous shout echoed, a chilling and murderous aura surged from her, enveloping the entire sea area around her like a declaration of sovereignty.

The two seventh-rank Azure Luan pulling the carriage were startled, letting out cries of alarm and flapping their wings, refusing to fly any further.

The old man driving the carriage managed to control the Azure Luan with difficulty, his face turning pale: "A Divine Realm expert!"

"How can there be a Divine Realm expert here?!" Inside the flying carriage, the white-haired old woman, Ling Nanny, who was about to speak, also changed her expression, feeling a bad premonition. "Could it be that someone has already beaten us to the relic?"

"I didn't expect that besides me, there would be others eyeing the Mysterious Pill Treasure Tome," Princess Luojia's expression also turned grim.

"Princess, I'll hold her off. You must find a way to enter the relic immediately; there might still be time," Ling Nanny said gravely.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you, Ling Nanny." Princess Luojia nodded, saying no more.

Given the current situation, she couldn't afford to hesitate.

As Princess Luojia nodded, Ling Nanny had already taken out a large iron cane from her storage ring, lifted the carriage curtain, and charged out.

In mid-air, a terrifying aura burst from her, and with a swing of the iron cane, she struck downward.

"Enough talk, take this!"

The black iron cane seemed to harness the power of heaven and earth, and though it was a simple strike, the aura it emitted was incredibly terrifying.

Even the sea below couldn't withstand it, deeply dented by the impact of the dreadful pressure.

"Old hag, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Jiang Qingxue sneered, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

Even when she was the Red Enchantress Demon Envoy, she wasn't known for her good temper. Although she had restrained herself somewhat, it was still limited.

Seeing the old woman attack without a word, she naturally understood that the visitor was hostile and wouldn't hold back.

In a flash, her figure disappeared from the fishing boat.

At the same time, a hoarse roar echoed in the sky, and a massive snake-like shadow appeared amidst the dense fog.

It was a huge black snake, its entire body pitch black, with a thick horn on its massive head and vivid red patterns sprawling across its dark back, eerie and enchanting.

This black snake was Jiang Qingxue's Dharma Aspect.

As the Dharma Aspect appeared, Jiang Qingxue's figure also emerged amidst the mist.

Her black and red dress fluttered in the wind, making her look like a blooming black and red peony, exuding a strong and fierce aura.

With a wave of her hand, the powerful divine power merged with the Dharma Aspect behind her, colliding with the descending iron cane. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amidst the deafening explosions, a terrifying energy shockwave erupted, instantly dispersing the surrounding fog, spreading across the sea.

"Oh my goodness~"

On the fishing boat, Li Dinghai clung tightly to the helm, his face ashen with fear.

He was just an ordinary Lingtai Realm cultivator, how could he have witnessed the terrifying momentum of Divine Realm experts in action?

Feeling the energy fluctuations around him that seemed to tear his fishing boat apart, he didn't dare move, clinging to the helm, trembling, not knowing what else he could do.

It was only then that he realized the female cultivator who had been staying on the boat was such a formidable existence.

Li Dinghai was terrified, on the verge of tears.

Could he really return to his clan alive?

At that moment, a graceful figure descended from the sky, landing on the deck of the fishing boat.

It was a woman with a graceful figure, and from his angle, he could only see her profile, but the unfathomable aura she exuded filled him with dread.

Purple Mansion Realm! Another Purple Mansion Realm expert!

Li Dinghai clutched the helm nervously, not daring to make a sound, fearing he would be noticed. However, the woman didn't even glance at him, focusing solely on the array disk in her hand.

This woman was, of course, Princess Luojia, who had quietly slipped down while the two Divine Realm cultivators were battling.

"Yes, this is the place, and only at this time can one enter."

Princess Luojia was sure she had found the right place and didn't delay any further. She swiftly leaped into the sea.

The array disk in her hand was a secret creation of the Northern Zhou royal family, allowing even those not specialized in arrays to find the weak points of an array.

Quickly, she set up an array in the sea to break the protective array according to the disk's instructions. The previously hidden relic array was revealed before her.

Seeing this, she was overjoyed.

With a flip of her wrist, a dark golden divine spirit artifact resembling a weight appeared in her delicate, fair palm, emanating a powerful aura.

With a flick of her wrist, the dark golden "weight" shot out, crashing into the revealed protective array of the relic.

"Boom!!"

Inside the relic, Wang Shouye and his companions, waiting patiently in the herb garden, were startled.

Suddenly, thunderous sounds erupted in the sky within the relic, causing the entire sky to tremble.

Clearly, the protective array of this Void inheritance ground was under attack.

Even though this relic was left by a mid-Void Realm expert, and the protective array was of a high level, it hadn't been maintained for over twenty thousand years. Coupled with geological changes caused by underwater volcanic eruptions, even the most powerful array had become riddled with flaws.

Under Princess Luojia's precise strikes on the array's weak points, a gap was quickly torn in the transparent barrier.

Princess Luojia's graceful figure swiftly entered through the gap.

Noticing Wang Shouye and his companions standing on the island below, she showed a vigilant expression in her starry eyes, and her airborne figure quickly halted.

The barrier's gap rapidly closed behind her.

"There are competitors?" Qian Xuefu widened his eyes at the suddenly appearing Princess Luojia, his expression both surprised and shocked. "Master, didn't you say that only you knew about this inheritance ground?"

Pill Cauldron Master squinted his old eyes: "It's somewhat unexpected, but the world is vast and full of wonders. But don't worry, no one in this world can compete with your junior brother Shouye."

Wang Shouye was diligent and talented, and more importantly, his family had resources, willing to spend endlessly to improve his alchemy skills. Even the Pill Cauldron Master himself felt inferior to Shouye in pure alchemy.

"Even so, there's always a chance," Qian Xuefu suggested, blinking. "Why not take advantage of her being alone and join forces to subdue her, to prevent her from snatching Shouye's opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Princess Luojia immediately took out a divine spirit artifact, which hovered around her, extremely vigilant of the group. However, she seemed very confident in herself, not appearing very intimidated despite being outnumbered.

"Absolutely not," Wang Shouye's expression turned stern. "Since this is an opportunity left by our predecessors, it should naturally be claimed by those with virtue and ability. If we act otherwise, how are we different from the demonic and crooked paths? My fourth brother has always taught me that as a descendant of a noble clan, one must act uprightly and honestly, never resorting to deceit or unscrupulous means for immediate benefits."

Noble clan descendants are different from rogue cultivators. Rogue cultivators act on their own, and their actions affect only themselves, but noble clan descendants bear the responsibility for their entire family.

Moreover, if a noble clan descendant gains benefits through opportunism or despicable means today, they are likely to continue down this path, finding it hard to turn back.

Even if they are lucky and never face consequences, if they themselves have skewed values, how can they teach their descendants well?

As the saying goes, "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked." Once the family ethos is corrupted, the foundation of the clan is damaged, and it will eventually lead to catastrophic disaster.

Since Wang Shouzhe became the clan leader, he has never relaxed on family ethos, and Wang Shouye, influenced by him, naturally values it highly, setting a good example for the younger generation of the clan.

"Listen, just listen," Pill Cauldron Master glared at Qian Xuefu. "Both noble clan descendants, yet Shouye is far superior to you. If one's character is not upright, it will lead to distrust and division among fellow disciples."

Having been a rogue cultivator for most of his life, he was tired of the deceit and mistrust among rogue cultivators. Now, relying on the Wang Clan for retirement, he gradually felt the power of unity, a comforting and reassuring force.

Meanwhile, Wang Shouye called out loudly to the sky: "I am Wang Shouye of the Eastern Qian Changning Wang's Clan. Rest assured, young lady, since you can enter the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill's inheritance ground today, it means you are prepared. Let's each rely on our abilities to gain the recognition of the Spirit Artifact senior."

Princess Luojia glanced at Wang Shouye from afar, temporarily putting away her divine spirit artifact. After landing, she called out loudly to the distance: "I am Ji Lingxiao of the Northern Zhou Ji's Clan, humbly requesting an audience with the Spirit Artifact senior."

As her voice fell.

A gentle and thick voice came from afar: "What a commotion just now. This True Lord didn't expect multiple candidates for the inheritance this time. Good, very good, my alchemy inheritance will not be buried."

"Senior, are you the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill?" Wang Shouye asked in slight surprise. "Not the Spirit Artifact senior of the treasure tome?"

He had always thought that the one in this secret realm was the Spirit Artifact of the treasure tome, and the information conveyed by this voice was indeed unexpected.

"That's right, I am the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill," the voice continued. "Back then, I encountered a great calamity and left a wisp of my soul residing in the Mysterious Pill Dao Cauldron. However, as time passed, my soul power gradually dissipated, forcing me into long-term slumber."

"Reporting to the True Lord," Pill Cauldron Master stepped forward excitedly to salute, "Seven hundred years ago, after narrowly escaping death, I inadvertently entered your esteemed place, receiving the rescue of the Spirit Artifact senior and being granted a treasure pill to improve my aptitude and the first part of the 'Mysterious Pill Treasure Tome.' Now, as promised, I have returned with an outstanding disciple for the inheritance."

"Seven hundred years ago? Hmm, I remember you. It was at my behest that the Spirit Artifact acted thus, to help you find a disciple for the inheritance, so the Mysterious Pill Treasure Tome wouldn't be buried here forever," the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill's voice was cheerful, sounding very pleased. "Tell me about yourselves, so I can proceed to the next test."

"We don't need to," Gu Hanyu shook her head. "This time, it's our junior brother Shouye who has come to receive the inheritance. He has shown exceptional talent in alchemy since childhood and possesses the seventh level of the Purple Mansion Realm Leaving Fire bloodline, known as a 'Peerless Prodigy.' I believe no one can compete with him."

The other senior brothers also nodded repeatedly. They had no intention of competing with Shouye, only hoping that after he inherited the treasure tome, he could share some of the Divine Realm inheritance grounds.

"Peerless Prodigy?" The True Lord of the Mysterious Pill's voice was delighted. "Good, very good. Your name is Wang Shouye, right? You've given me a great surprise."

A Peerless Prodigy inheriting the treasure tome has potential far beyond that of an ordinary great prodigy. With sufficient resources, reaching the mid-Void Realm is highly probable, and even the later stages are not impossible.

"Thank you for your praise, True Lord. Shouye has reached this point thanks to the support of my family," Wang Shouye said humbly.

"In that case, you shall be my successor," the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill declared.

"Wait!" Princess Luojia suddenly spoke up. "Reporting to the True Lord, Lingxiao is also a Peerless Prodigy. I request a fair chance to compete."

Another Peerless Prodigy?

Qian Xuefu and the other senior brothers looked at her in surprise.

Goodness, no wonder she seemed so calm and composed.

Are Peerless Prodigies mass-produced these days?

"You are also a Peerless Prodigy?" The True Lord of the Mysterious Pill was slightly surprised. "Do you know alchemy?"

"Reporting to the True Lord, Lingxiao does not yet know alchemy," Princess Luojia replied honestly. "But after inheriting the treasure tome, I will use my family's resources to quickly improve my alchemy skills."

"You are shameless," Gu Hanyu frowned, her usually gentle tone now tinged with anger. "Since you are not from the alchemy lineage, why compete for the Mysterious Pill Treasure Tome? As an outsider to alchemy, aren't you desecrating the treasure tome?"

"Miss, I have my reasons. Besides, I'm only one hundred and eighty years old, with plenty of time to practice. Back then, the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill came from a small family and wasn't initially an alchemist, yet he became a grandmaster in alchemy within a thousand years," Princess Luojia nodded slightly in return to Gu Hanyu and then turned to the building, saying, "As for success or failure, it depends on the True Lord's decision."

"In that case, Ji Lingxiao and Wang Shouye, both enter the inheritance hall for the next assessment," the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill said after a brief consideration. "Whether you succeed depends on the choice of the treasure tome's Spirit Artifact."

"Thank you, True Lord," Wang Shouye and Ji Lingxiao both saluted.

As the two headed towards the "inheritance hall," which resembled an alchemy room, inside, an ancient pill cauldron was trembling.

Wisps of thin black mist, like morning fog, swirled within, vaguely forming a humanoid shape.

A series of wild laughter echoed from the mist: "Haha~ Heaven helps me! Two Peerless Prodigies at once. One can serve as a medium for my soul's rebirth, and the other can be implanted with a medicine embryo, turning it into a pill cauldron. Ahahaha~~"

The inheritance hall was devoid of clutter, with only this ancient pill cauldron standing in the center.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that this pill cauldron was quite damaged, full of dents and missing an ear, with many inscriptions blurred. Yet, despite this, the aura it emitted was profoundly mysterious and imposing.

As the laughter echoed, the cauldron's trembling intensified, and another voice suddenly rang out: "Vile and shameless old dog, Magicauldron Venerable! Even if I exhaust this wisp of my soul, I won't let you succeed!"

This voice was filled with rage but also weak, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"Heh heh, Mysterious Pill, don't forget your origins. Without my help, how could you rise from a bullied, destitute child of a trashy family to become the top alchemist of the Immortal Dynasty and the Mansion Master of Princess Muyue's mansion?" The voice sounded sinister, with a series of eerie laughs. "The taste of the princess was nice, wasn't it? Too bad you insisted on defying me and perishing together."

"Otherwise, once Princess Muyue ascended as the Immortal Emperor, we could have secretly controlled her... We would have controlled the entire Immortal Dynasty, gathered resources to refine an Immortal Seed, and secretly planted it in the Immortal Emperor, allowing her to nurture a true celestial spirit fetus. Tsk tsk, then I could not only be reborn but also restore my peak strength."

"Madman, you vile old dog, no wonder you became one of the Divine Dynasty's Top Ten Wanted Criminals!" The True Lord of the Mysterious Pill roared. "I won't let you succeed."

"Mysterious Pill, what use is your shouting?" Magicauldron Venerable sneered. "Your wisp of a soul is so weak that if I don't want to, you can't even speak. I've kept you around all these years just to let you see how I am reborn, how I take over, and how I conquer the Immortal Dynasty!"

"Old demon, are you planning to use the same trick on that young man?" The True Lord of the Mysterious Pill's voice trembled, powerless.

"The same trick? Heh, I've learned my lesson, almost getting burned by your Nine Nether Hellfire. How could I leave room for error again? Speaking of which, you were quite capable, managing to set up a deadly trap under my nose over hundreds of years, ruining all my efforts." Magicauldron Venerable's voice was filled with rage, becoming more sinister. "This time, to be safe, I'll forcibly seize the body first."

"Forcibly seize the body? That's not easy," the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill seemed skeptical.

"Hmph, the evil in human hearts is greed. As long as he willingly opens his Lingtai for my consciousness, I have my ways. I haven't wasted these twenty thousand years."

As the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill and Magicauldron Venerable continued their argument, Princess Luojia and Wang Shouye had already reached the door.

They saluted outside, and after receiving the "True Lord of the Mysterious Pill's" approval, they entered the "inheritance hall."

"This?"

Upon entering, Wang Shouye found it slightly odd.

The so-called inheritance hall was extremely simple, with nothing inside except a solitary, damaged pill cauldron.

"Shouye, don't find it strange," the "True Lord of the Mysterious Pill" said warmly. "Back then, I was betrayed by someone I trusted most, leaving only a wisp of my soul in my life-bound Dao Cauldron. This inheritance ground wasn't fully set up, so it's inevitably simple."

"If there's a chance, I'd like to avenge you, True Lord," Wang Shouye, upright and honest, detested betrayal.

"It's all in the past, and that traitor has long vanished without a trace, meeting a bad end," the "True Lord of the Mysterious Pill" brushed off the topic. "After some thought, I've decided that since both Lingxiao and Shouye are Peerless Prodigies, and Shouye is an excellent alchemist, the Mysterious Pill Treasure Tome is more suitable for Shouye."

Having lured them in, he didn't want to waste any more time.

"True Lord, could I have a chance to prove myself?" Princess Luojia's eyes showed a hint of reluctance.

"Lingxiao, I've already made my decision," the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill's tone quickened slightly. "Be patient, and after Shouye inherits the treasure tome, I'll grant you an 'Eighth Grade Immortal Pill' as compensation."

Though filled with unwillingness, Princess Luojia had no choice.

She had done her best, hoping her fortuitous rise to Peerless Prodigy bloodline would please the treasure tome, only to find herself a step late, facing the more outstanding Wang Shouye.

"Thank you, True Lord," Princess Luojia expressed her gratitude, then congratulated Wang Shouye with composure, "Congratulations, Brother Shouye, on gaining the True Lord and the treasure tome's recognition."

"Thank you, Miss Lingxiao," Wang Shouye, usually calm, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

"Shouye, place your hand on my life-bound Dao Cauldron, and I'll impart my lifetime of alchemy and cultivation experience to you," the True Lord of the Mysterious Pill instructed.

Wang Shouye hesitated, then asked, "True Lord, why is this necessary?"

"Alas, this wisp of my soul has persisted too long, already at the end of its strength. To prevent my lifetime of knowledge and experience from disappearing, you mustn't refuse," the "True Lord of the Mysterious Pill" said with emotion. "This knowledge will help you quickly become a grandmaster in alchemy, reaching the pinnacle of life."

"This..." Wang Shouye was slightly conflicted but soon made up his mind, saying earnestly, "Thank you, True Lord. However, I don't think it's necessary. Alchemy requires steady progress, and relying on imparted experience may yield temporary benefits but lacks a solid foundation. Most importantly, if I become accustomed to shortcuts, I might lose balance when progress slows, hindering my future path."

Such a choice might be incomprehensible to others, but Shouye had always been this way. He believed in steady work and meticulous effort, trusting that hard work yields results, and only then could he find peace of mind.

He preferred to spend time summarizing rather than receiving direct experience.

The "True Lord of the Mysterious Pill" was nearly infuriated, feigning anger: "Do you want my lifetime of experience to vanish?"

"Not at all," Wang Shouye quickly shook his head. "Though my current alchemy skills don't guarantee a high success rate in refining the Seventh Grade Soul Molding Sacred Dan, if I inherit the treasure tome, enhance my bloodline, and have your guidance, I believe refining the Seventh Grade Soul Molding Sacred Dan won't be a problem."

"With the Soul Molding Sacred Dan, you can restore much of your soul power, and we can slowly find ways to help you survive. My family has some experience in this."

"Seventh Grade Soul Molding Sacred Dan!" The "True Lord of the Mysterious Pill" trembled with anger.

This kid's alchemy skills had reached such a level. Not only that, but he also rejected the opportunity for instant advancement!

This left him unsure of his next move.

"The Soul Molding Sacred Dan requires the main ingredient, the twelfth-grade Soul Tree fruit. Unfortunately, there's no Soul Tree in this herb garden," the "True Lord of the Mysterious Pill" reluctantly argued. "I've never heard of a twelfth-grade Soul Tree."

"There is," Princess Luojia interjected. "Seventeen thousand years ago, His Majesty, the Virtuous and Enlightened Guangming Immortal Emperor, planted a semi-celestial Soul Tree at the Immortal Dynasty's main base on the outer region battlefield. It matured long ago, absorbing the abundant soul power from the battlefield, and its yield isn't scarce. My family has a few, and I can offer one to Young Master Shouye."

She realized that Wang Shouye's exceptional talent promised a limitless future. Rather than opposing him, it was better to establish a connection early, gaining a valuable ally.

"Thank you, Miss Lingxiao," Wang Shouye expressed his gratitude. "If you ever need assistance, I'll be at your service."

"The Virtuous and Enlightened Guangming Immortal Emperor? Who is that?" The "True Lord of the Mysterious Pill" was repeatedly thwarted, infuriated.

"That's... the former Princess Muyue, your wife, True Lord," Princess Luojia replied with slight suspicion. "Haven't you encountered anyone over the years?"

"Naturally, I haven't encountered anyone powerful, only small fry," the "True Lord of the Mysterious Pill" said awkwardly. "I didn't expect Muyue to plant a Soul Tree on the outer region battlefield.""Ah, I see," Princess Luojia said with relief. "Actually, De Wu Guang Ming Immortal Emperor is a posthumous title for her. It's normal that you didn't know. Alas, thinking back to His Majesty's grace back then, it truly is awe-inspiring. It's said that she spent her entire life searching for news of you, True Lord."

"Is that so? Haha, Mu Yue was too sentimental," True Lord of the Mysterious Pill replied, feeling increasingly awkward.

"Brother Shouye, something feels off," Princess Luojia continued to speak superficially about the deeds of De Wu Guang Ming Immortal Emperor while secretly transmitting to Wang Shouye, "I've studied the history of Princess Mu Yue and True Lord of the Mysterious Pill carefully. This remnant soul's behavior is very strange. True Lord was a gentle and refined person in life, and his relationship with the Immortal Emperor was very good. Hearing of her fall, he shouldn't react like this. Moreover, I feel like he's trying to lure you into accepting some experience infusion."

"I feel something's odd too. Let's be cautious," Wang Shouye transmitted back, then cupped his hands again, "True Lord, please believe in your disciple, I will find a way to gradually restore your remnant soul..."

"You brat, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

The Demon Cauldron Sovereign had lost patience and felt he was about to be exposed, so he tore off his disguise.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a terrifying force erupted from the broken pill cauldron.

The cauldron soared into the air, enveloped in immense power, and pressed down on Wang Shouye.

"Brother Shouye, watch out."

Princess Luojia, who had been on guard in secret, quickly stepped forward, shielding Wang Shouye, and with a wave of her sleeve, she blocked the oncoming cauldron.

However, how could the remnant soul controlling the cauldron be ordinary? It was a remnant soul of the True Immortal Realm, and even a trace of soul thought held considerable power. The cauldron was no ordinary item either; it was the very cauldron that made the Demon Cauldron Sovereign famous.

"Boom!"

Princess Luojia was immediately blasted back by the immense force, colliding into Wang Shouye's arms.

Before they could react, the demon cauldron came crashing down again, like a mountain pressing down, pinning the two to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Princess Luojia found herself lying on Wang Shouye, both of them pushing with all their might to barely withstand the overwhelming pressure of the demon cauldron.

"Keh keh keh! You brat, you thieving girl, I tried to speak nicely to you, but you forced me to waste my soul power to take you by force!"

The Demon Cauldron Sovereign's signature sinister laugh echoed through the Hall of Inheritance.

...
