Chapter 158: Framing Him!
============================================================
Yu Lan was beaming inside!
This little girl truly was fearless like a newborn calf!
"Do you know the Dragon King's cultivation level? How many people are on Panlong Mountain?"
"Even with Sect Leader Su's immortal prowess and transcendent cultivation, he'd likely be captured. As for Panlong Mountain's minions, Mu Chan doesn't give them a second glance."
Yu Lan chuckled. How amusing!
"Yu Lan, stop teasing her." Su Cheng couldn't bear to watch any longer. This woman, when she turned mischievous…
Su Muchan was puzzled. Was it really that laughable?
Could it be that even Master Su was no match for that Dragon King?
"Master Su, what do you mean? Could it be that even you cannot defeat that Dragon King?"
【Hehe, in a way, I really am no match for that Dragon King… He seems insatiable…】
"Young lady, you want an Imperial Weapon?" Yu Lan tilted her little head, adopting the usual dazed and adorable expression of the Second Young Miss.
Su Muchan remained silent. She found it all so strange—these two were acting oddly!
The way they looked at her, it was as if they were staring at a fool. Did her words sound like pure fantasy?
Was the Dragon King truly that formidable? Could he even overpower Master Su?
Seeing Su Muchan's silence, Yu Lan casually produced the Imperial Weapon—a colossal battleaxe taller than Su Cheng itself—and slammed it down at her feet. The thunderous crash sent birds and beasts scattering across the valley.
"This is the Imperial Weapon Miss Muchan desired. How does the lady plan to subdue Yulan?"
Su Cheng slapped his forehead, his face darkening. Great…
But even if he wanted to make amends, he certainly didn't have a taste for handing over his woman's belongings to others.
Su Muchan froze for a moment before scrutinizing the imperial weapon. After careful observation, it seemed, appeared, was likely, almost…
It truly was an Imperial Weapon…
"So the Imperial Weapon had already been acquired by Sect Leader Su? I see!"
[Not exactly. In truth, the Dragon King has also been claimed by Master Su…]
"In truth, she is the Dragon King."
Truthfully, when Su Cheng's gaze swept over Yu Lan just now, Su Muchan was utterly astonished!
Should one say, "Truly worthy of the title Immortal Su"?
So this is how they subdue the Dragon King?
It truly is a method beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
"Hehe, Dragon King sister, Mu Chan was just teasing you~ Hehe~"
It must be said, Su Muchan reacted swiftly. The last time someone resorted to such flattery so quickly was the Holy Maiden.
Yu Lan, however, remained unfazed: "Oh? Is that so? What might my younger sister wish to use an Imperial Weapon for? With Master Su vouching for you, Yu Lan isn't opposed to lending you one."
It must be said, Yu Lan's words were truly wise!
Her devoted wife persona was off the charts—she genuinely cared about Su Cheng's feelings at every moment. Affection +10.
"No, no! Little sister was just joking. How could I covet my elder sister's treasure?"
Su Muchan had noticed too—going wild with Su Cheng was one thing, but the people around him? Not a single one was easy to mess with!
Yu Lan merely smiled, saying no more. She hadn't meant to scare Su Muchan—just tease the little beauty a bit.
Most importantly, she hinted: don't get your hopes up. Though she had a good temper, she wasn't the sharing type!
The small talk ended there. It was time to fight~
Yu Lan spun behind Su Cheng, watching the direction they'd come from. Seconds later, three figures descended.
Su Cheng glanced behind him. Lu Cheng and Shangguan Rou had also arrived, now descending from the sky.
"Husband?" Yulan poked half her little head out from under Su Cheng's arm, seemingly terrified of the newcomers. But Su Muchan clearly wasn't buying this act anymore.
"No need to rush to kill them. Let's see what they have to say first."
Su Muchan listened to their exchange, feeling utterly speechless.
"Husband, Yu Lan is scared~"
"She's not afraid. Just hide well."
"Husband, protect Yu Lan."
"Yes, I will."
Su Muchan instinctively took two steps back, feeling a bit…
Is this really the Dragon King? Impossible!
But such thoughts could only be voiced internally. She had no intention of speaking now, instead instinctively shifting closer to Su Cheng. Clearly, staying near the Sect Leader was far safer!
With the Dragon King and an immortal on their side, she couldn't imagine how they could lose!
"Husband, who are they?"
Su Cheng accessed the system for a quick scan. The three individuals' profiles appeared before him in an instant. One of them was among the original twelve. Su Cheng had no intention of letting him go.
As for the others…
Su Cheng considered it and decided to go all out—better to kill them all.
"The one in the middle. Got it?" Su Cheng leaned in close and whispered to Yu Lan.
"Got it," Yu Lan nodded thoughtfully, simultaneously gathering his magical power, ready to seize an opportunity to take him out in one strike!
"Hold your horses. There are too many people here. I'll figure out a way to take him down."
To be honest, aside from the person across from them who hadn't heard, everyone else had caught the gist of it, even if they hadn't heard every word clearly…
Compared to Su Muchan's discreet scheming, Su Cheng was practically shouting his plans to the world.
Frankly, he didn't even consider those three as human beings.
Only then did Su Muchan take a proper look at the newcomers. All three were from the Demon Clan. She couldn't gauge their exact cultivation levels, but she estimated most were at least mid-to-late stage of the Transformation Spirit realm!
If it came to blows, they'd likely have to rely on the Immortal Dragon duo. Among their own group, only Shangguan Rou and Lu Cheng could be considered combat-ready. Even then, facing three Demon Clan cultivators at the Huatian stage would be a daunting challenge.
With Su Cheng's earlier description, Shangguan Rou also took a closer look at the Demon Clan standing in the center. He appeared like an ordinary cultivator, clad in white robes with a celestial sword at his waist. Were it not for the noticeable amount of fur covering his body, he would be difficult to distinguish…
Honestly, he looked quite ordinary, though more formidable than Su Cheng. Still, he was very ordinary.
The two figures flanking him, however, were imposing in stature—clearly brute-strength types who seemed to have grown into their own.
As the two groups faced off, the tension grew palpable. Lu Cheng quickly interjected:
"We are from the Celestial Path Pavilion. We are not the perpetrators. May I ask what brings you here?"
"I am Du… Ugh! Ugh…"
For some reason, the speaker was struck by two blades.
"Yu Lan, who did he say he was?"
"She says he's hungry."
"Woo-woo, looking for food?"
"Master, how about we share some food with them?"
Both groups now stared at Yu Lan and Su Cheng. Truth be told, no one had seen clearly what had just happened!
But!
Everyone knew it had to be those two up to something!
"I didn't bring any food. Did you?"
"Yu Lan didn't bring any food either. What should we do?"
"No idea. The Heavenly Path Pavilion follows the Way of Heaven—they'll definitely help!" For some reason, Su Cheng and Yu Lan suddenly started putting on a show!
Su Cheng found it rather amusing—as long as they didn't kill anyone in public!
Hungry Hungry, who'd been stabbed twice, finally snapped out of it. He glared viciously at Lu Cheng.
"The Celestial Path Pavilion, huh? Today, not a single one of you will leave alive!"
Lu Cheng was dumbfounded. What the hell was going on?
What did this have to do with him? Why couldn't he leave?
"Our Heavenly Path Pavilion has no grudge against you. Why are you acting this way?"
Lu Cheng was truly in a bind. The man across from him seemed to think the Heavenly Way Pavilion and Su Cheng were in cahoots!
But if he claimed no connection to Su City, no one would believe him once Su City brought up his ties to Cheng Liang.
If he insisted on shifting blame back to Su Cheng, he dared not do so.
This was the Northern Domain—unless he wanted to become Lu Hungry~
"Do you take me for a complete idiot?"
