Regarding this, Ao Ruize’s first thought was, how could he have forgotten that in this world, there was still Yan Chong, this guy with cheat codes.

Fu Mu’s first thought was, fortunately, Ao Ruize had come during the day today, and the place he chose was the study, so Ao Ruize hadn’t even had time to take off his pants… wait, if this guy had come over at night like he usually did, and hadn’t impatiently seduced him in the study, wouldn’t nothing have happened at all?

It was still the Milk Dumpling who broke the silence first.

After the shock passed, its eyes instantly turned red: “Y-you guys…”

It never would have thought that in just a few days, its wife would be claimed by Ao Ruize again.

That’s right, again—

Poor Chichi… now adding Jing Yao, confusedly getting cuckolded just like that.

And it had been given yet another green hat by Ao Ruize.

No wonder Ao Ruize was never home every day; it turned out he was in its wife’s bed.

Whatever happened to the saying ‘he who cuckolds others is always cuckolded’? It obviously hadn’t cuckolded anyone, so why was it constantly being cuckolded by Ao Ruize?

“…Beast, scumbag, you’re not human…”

After saying that, the Milk Dumpling burst out crying with a ‘waa’, then turned around and ran away, even forgetting all about Yan Chong.

Ao Ruize: “…”

Hadn’t he just used Yan Chong as a meat shield a few times?

Fate didn’t really need to help Yan Chong get revenge on him.

But at this moment, how could Ao Ruize spare any attention for it.

Because right at this time, the others had also snapped out of it one by one.

The Dragon Clan Patriarch and those elders looked at Ao Ruize in disbelief, even the words they spoke were exactly the same as the Milk Dumpling: “Y-you guys…”

And as if thinking of something, a brilliant light suddenly shot out from the eyes of Long Tiancheng and his group, as well as the patriarchs and elders of the other three clans.

Especially Long Tiancheng and his group, they almost burst out laughing on the spot.

They had originally thought that the reason Ao Ruize could advance from Early Golden Core to Peak Golden Core in less than a month was because his aptitude had improved. They never expected that the truth of the matter was actually that he had climbed into the bed of the Hehuan Sect Master, Fu Mu—

And despite this, Ao Ruize still had the face to show a look of being completely unfazed by favor or disgrace when the Patriarch and the others praised him.

One could easily imagine how the clan and the outside world would view Ao Ruize once this matter spread—

As long as they manipulated things properly, they dared to say that Ao Ruize shouldn’t even think about turning his life around for at least a hundred years!!!

What is it called when you reach the end of the hills and rivers and suspect there is no road, only to find another village amidst the dark willows and bright flowers? This was exactly it!

The expressions of the Hehuan Sect elders and disciples standing to the side also changed.

It wasn’t because they disapproved of Fu Mu and Ao Ruize getting together, but because prior to this, Fu Mu had more than once, against their wishes, strictly ordered them not to make a move on the young talents of these families and sects. Yet, Fu Mu turned around and hooked up with the Young Patriarch of the Dragon Clan himself—

Was this something a human would do?

Fu Mu: “…”

Fu Mu only now realized what had happened.

He hastily pushed the Ao Ruize who was on top of him away.

Only then did Ao Ruize sit up.

Not to mention, this scene was indeed a bit awkward.

But after all, he was an old dragon who had lived for over a hundred thousand years, so he still had this much thick skin.

He shielded Fu Mu behind him: “Um, well…”

But fortunately, someone quickly broke this awkward atmosphere.

“Long Ruize—”

The one speaking was none other than Yan Chong.

He glared at Ao Ruize with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could swallow him alive and skin him on the spot.

Because he had already learned from the mouths of the Dragon Guards who had been hunting him down that it was Ao Ruize who had been issuing the orders to hunt him down all along.

He never would have thought that he, who had experienced smooth sailing ever since his rebirth, would stumble and fall at the hands of Long Ruize.

Most importantly, the reason Long Ruize could possess his current status was entirely due to that Severed Meridian Pill he had sent over—

What is it called when you lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot? This was exactly it!

“You deserve to die—”

He roared continuously as he charged towards Ao Ruize.

Seeing this, Fu Mu immediately tossed aside his embarrassment and was about to throw out a few wind blades to send Yan Chong to meet the King of Hell.

However, in the next second, his hand was slowly pressed down by Ao Ruize’s hand.

“What?”

Fu Mu subconsciously turned his head to look at him.

Right at this moment, the Dragon Clan Patriarch and the others also reacted. He directly threw out several earth spikes, forcing Yan Chong back.

“Take down Yan Chong first.”

Before his voice even faded, Long Tiancheng and the others simultaneously attacked Yan Chong.

Yan Chong was only at the Early Golden Core stage; how could he possibly be a match for Long Tiancheng and the others? Adding to that, the Dragon Clan Patriarch and the rest were staring at him intently from the sidelines, so much so that he couldn’t find any opportunity to escape.

So in just under a minute, over a dozen more wounds appeared on his body, and blood quickly soaked through his clothes.

Yet the offensive from Long Tiancheng and the others didn’t diminish in the slightest.

After having his left leg blown off by Long Jingdan once again, Yan Chong knew that he was truly going to bite the dust here today.

Seeing this, the Dragon Clan Patriarch knew it was no longer necessary for them to make a move. He immediately shouted: “Yan Chong, your magical treasures should all be used up by now. I advise you to obediently surrender. As long as you cooperate with our investigation, we might just spare your life—”

Yan Chong was directly angered into laughing.

Did they really think he was an idiot!

If it weren’t for the multitude of magical treasures in his hands, he wouldn’t even know how many times he would have died at their hands already.

Not to mention that Long Ruize hated him to the bone; otherwise, how could he spare no effort in sending people to hunt him down?

So if he really fell into their hands, how could they possibly let him go?

“Unless you all kneel down and call me Grandpa, kowtow to me and admit your mistakes, don’t even dream of getting me to surrender!”

“Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit—”

The Dragon Clan Patriarch was already in a bad mood, so one could imagine how enraged he was upon hearing these words.

“Do it, crush his body directly and extract his soul.”

Before his voice faded, Long Jingdan and the others charged towards Yan Chong once again.

Looking at the sky full of killing moves, Yan Chong suddenly realized what was happening.

Only then did he realize that he was actually going to die.

He had been reborn once; wasn’t he supposed to conquer the Mingxiao Continent and make a name for himself?

He hadn’t even killed Long Ruize yet, he hadn’t claimed that mother-daughter pair of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Clan, and he hadn’t trampled the One Sect, Three Factions, Four Gates, and Four Great Families underfoot, yet he was going to die again—

Most importantly, his intuition told him that if he died today, he would be truly dead and would never be able to be reborn again.

Thinking of this, his pupils widened larger and larger: “No—”

Hearing this, the Dragon Clan Patriarch only coldly snorted: “It’s too late to regret now—”

But they never expected that right at this moment, a blinding light would suddenly erupt from Yan Chong’s storage ring. Following closely, an ancient map broke out from the storage ring.

And that light instantly enveloped Yan Chong within it.

Then, right in front of everyone’s eyes, Yan Chong’s body actually disappeared into thin air bit by bit.

A bright light suddenly burst forth from Yan Chong’s eyes.

Was he… saved?

The expressions of the Dragon Clan Patriarch and the others instantly changed: “Stop him quickly—”

But it was too late.

In the next second, Yan Chong’s body completely disappeared from their line of sight.

In the air, only Yan Chong’s arrogant voice remained: “Hahahahaha, truly the heavens will not let me perish.”

“Four Great Families, just you wait. One day, I will return the humiliation you have inflicted upon me a hundredfold—”

The air instantly fell silent, and everyone’s faces darkened.

They never would have thought that with so many top-tier powerhouses at the Tribulation-Transcending and Soul Formation stages acting together, they would still fail to capture Yan Chong.

That would be fine on its own.

The main issue was that Yan Chong clearly possessed a wondrous treasure. This was why he could easily find so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as supreme-grade magical treasures, allowing him to run rings around them despite being only at the Golden Core stage.

One could imagine what a massive threat he would be to the Four Great Families once he accumulated enough power in the future.

Not to mention, it was highly likely that he held even more Severed Meridian Pills in his hands, or even the pill recipe for the Severed Meridian Pill—

The Dragon Clan Patriarch immediately shouted: “No, we absolutely cannot let Yan Chong remain at large. Dragon Guard, intensify the search for Yan Chong. You must eliminate Yan Chong in the shortest possible time.”

The leader of the Dragon Guard: “Yes.”

After speaking, the Dragon Clan Patriarch turned to look at the people from the other three clans: “Patriarch Bai, Patriarch Zhu, Patriarch Xuan, this matter concerns the life and death of our four clans. This time, no matter what, we must work together with one heart to overcome this crisis—”

Patriarch Bai, Patriarch Zhu, and Patriarch Xuan immediately said: “Of course.”

Only then did the Dragon Clan Patriarch’s complexion improve slightly.

He refused to believe that a measly Yan Chong could stir up any massive waves.

However, in the next second, his face darkened again.

Because he just remembered that there was still one matter left unresolved.

They all immediately turned to look at Ao Ruize.

But the curses that reached his lips had to be swallowed back down by the Dragon Clan Patriarch.

Because he saw Fu Mu standing beside Ao Ruize.

After all, although he was the Dragon Clan Patriarch, Fu Mu was also the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect.

Most importantly, he was only at the Mid Tribulation-Transcending stage, while Fu Mu already had half a foot into the Peak Tribulation-Transcending stage.

So in front of Fu Mu, his tone simply couldn’t toughen up.

What could he do?

He could only hold his breath and direct his spearhead at Ao Ruize: “What are you still standing there for? Go back—”

After saying that, he was the first to walk out.

Fu Mu subconsciously tightened his grip on Ao Ruize’s hand.

Ao Ruize squeezed his palm and merely said: “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”

After saying that, he calmly and leisurely lifted his foot to follow.

The Dragon Clan Patriarch and the others, whose strength was lower than Fu Mu’s but whose hearing was not lacking in the slightest: “…”

How could he still say such calm words at a time like this?

How could this not make them even angrier.

So as soon as they returned to their temporary residence, the Dragon Clan Patriarch didn’t even care that the patriarchs and elders of the other three clans—who didn’t mind the situation blowing up and wanted to see the Dragon Clan make a joke of themselves—hadn’t left yet. He directly shouted angrily: “Speak, what exactly is going on here?”

In a flash, everyone’s gaze landed on Ao Ruize.

Ao Ruize simply said: “The reason I was able to advance from Early Golden Core to Early Nascent Soul in just a short month and a half is indeed largely due to the merit of dual cultivation with Sect Master Fu.”

The faces of the Dragon Clan Patriarch and the others completely darkened.

Long Tiancheng and his group exchanged glances, the mockery and smugness in their eyes practically materializing.

Because they hadn’t expected Ao Ruize to directly admit to this matter.

But come to think of it, with things having reached this point, would he dare not to admit it?

The patriarchs and elders of the other three clans couldn’t hold back their laughter either.

With this, the Dragon Clan was probably going to completely become a laughingstock.

Who told them to walk around with their chins raised and mock them for the past few days? It’s karma!

The faces of the Dragon Clan Patriarch and the others directly turned green: “You bastard, does the Dragon Clan…” lack cultivation resources for you, or treat you poorly, that you have to willingly degenerate and run off to get involved with Fu Mu?

But what they didn’t expect was that in the next second, Ao Ruize directly interrupted their words: “As for the remaining part of the reason, it is naturally due to my relatively high bloodline concentration.”

“In addition to that, I also discovered a method that can rapidly increase our bloodline concentration.”

Relatively high bloodline concentration?

At this point, do you really think bringing this up will save your position as Young Patriarch?

Long Tiancheng sneered endlessly.

Then he finally realized what was said.

Almost at the exact same time, the eyes of the Dragon Clan Patriarch and the others instantly widened.

They practically lost their voices as they spoke:

“What did you say?”

“You discovered a method that can rapidly increase our bloodline concentration?”

“It’s true.”

Long Jingdan and her group stepped forward immediately. Word by word, they said: “We used the Young Patriarch’s method, and then in just under a month, we increased our bloodline concentration by more than two percentage points.”

“Otherwise, how could I have possibly broken through to Peak Nascent Soul so quickly?”

“And how could Long Gang, with a mere Mid Nascent Soul cultivation base, consecutively defeat two Peak Nascent Souls and take third place in the Martial Arts Nascent Soul Competition?”

“If you don’t believe it, you can perform a bloodline test on us right here and now.”

Hearing these words, the expressions of the Dragon Clan Patriarch and the others completely changed.

“Bring the Bloodline Testing Stone—”

Even the breathing of the patriarchs and elders of the other three clans became hurried.

A few minutes later, looking at the fourteen red lines lighting up on the Bloodline Testing Stone, the Patriarch asked with difficulty: “During the major examination two months ago, what was the bloodline concentration you tested at?”

Before Long Jingdan even needed to speak, a number had already risen in everyone’s minds: “Twelve percent.”

After all, with the height Long Jingdan currently stood at, it was enough for people to remember her bloodline concentration.

In other words, everything Long Jingdan said was true.

Ao Ruize had truly discovered a method that could rapidly increase the Dragon Clan’s bloodline concentration.

Right at this moment, as if guessing what they were thinking, Ao Ruize spoke again: “To be precise, it’s a method that can increase the bloodline concentration of anyone possessing the bloodline of Divine Beasts and Mutated Beasts.”

Boom!

The minds of the people from the other three great families present also exploded.

Ao Ruize, however, suddenly laughed: “So, the Four Great Families will probably give their blessings to Sect Master Fu and me, right?”

The Patriarch and the others: “…”

This is a threat, isn’t it?

Right at this moment, the transmission stone at the Patriarch’s waist suddenly lit up.

He subconsciously connected the transmission stone.

Following closely, a panting voice rang out from the other side: “Patriarch, the Hehuan Sect, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect suddenly ran over to our clan grounds and beat up the Old Ancestor. He said that five hundred years ago, the Old Ancestor snatched a Heavenly Mandate Herb from him, and he came to collect the debt…”

Ao Ruize: “…”

The Patriarch and the others: “…”

A debt from five hundred years ago, and you’re only coming to collect it now?

And right at this crucial juncture.

This is naked extortion!

Don’t you all think you’re going a little bit too far!!!
