Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 455: Grand Master: Lord Lu, I don’t look good while bathing?

Snow is falling across the vast sky, and the mountains are covered in red, which is magnificent and unparalleled.

After the Peacock King's secret room was robbed, he sent a letter to King Yong. The letter used sharp words and included greetings to the royal ancestors. It asked King Yong to act according to the plan and also stated that Peacock Mountain would send a thousand disciples to help King Yong succeed.

This time, we strive to achieve a sure-fire success.

Lu Zhan took advantage of the situation and used the excuse of "losing the spiritual essence of heaven and earth" to angrily kill more than a dozen demon attendants, shocking the Peacock King.

After delivering the letter, the Peacock King rushed over in person to appease him, and informed him of the theft that happened last night, in an attempt to calm Xiu Yuan's anger.

"Ha ha……"

After listening to the Peacock King's explanation, Lu Zhan's eyes became increasingly cold, and he grinned:

"The headquarters of the Peacock Clan, the most sacred and great place in Southern Xinjiang, is so easy to infiltrate. A scumbag can sneak into it like a nobody. Do you believe this?"

The Peacock King looked unhappy. Not only did Lu Zhan not believe it, he himself did not believe it either. But it just happened. He could only bite the bullet and say:

"Brother Xiuyuan, what do you mean by that? Did I lie to you? This sounds outrageous, but it's true. If you want to blame someone, just blame the Southern Border Saint for being so cunning."

"..."

Lu Zhan was just trying to use this as an excuse to kill a few demons, so he did not insist on giving in. Instead, he softened his attitude a little and said:

"If it was really the Saintess of Southern Border who sent people to steal, it would be fine if they stole the treasures, but why would they steal the essence of the soul? This kind of thing is thankless, and if they are discovered, wouldn't it be more trouble than gain?"

The Peacock King held his head and sighed:

"Perhaps when searching for the treasure, he came across the spiritual essence and took it away. Not to mention the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, even the elixir in my secret room was stolen by the thief. It shows how greedy the royal family is..."

The Peacock King was exhausted.

The theft of the stone man's head had already made him worried, and now he had to take Xiu Yuan's temper into consideration.

Xiu Yuan is still the same as he was a thousand years ago, cruel and ruthless, and he kills his own kind at will.

It was a pity that his rabbit mount had died tragically at Xiu Yuan's hands... Peacock King sighed and continued:

"Brother Xiuyuan, I will have someone replenish the spiritual medicine you lost. Please don't worry, Brother Xiuyuan, just focus on your body training and start the killing spree during the ancestral worship... But before that, I have something I want to ask Brother Xiuyuan."

Seeing that he could get some spiritual essence for free again, Lu Zhan felt much better and said, "Ask."

"Hmm...Brother Xiuyuan is very powerful, how could his essence be stolen?"

The Peacock King's secret room was robbed because he was drinking to drown his sorrows the night before and the thieves took advantage of the opportunity.

After all, Dongfang You was on a diplomatic mission to Peacock Mountain and was considered a guest of Peacock Mountain. Naturally, the other demon guards who were unaware of the situation would not be too wary of Dongfang You.

As I said, the Saint of Southern Xinjiang deliberately sent a weakling here. Once they ignore the weakling, it will be the weakling's chance.

But what about the theft of Xiuyuan’s spiritual essence?

Xiu Yuan did not leave the cave last night. Could Dongfang You steal things in front of Xiu Yuan?

The Peacock King suspected that Xiu Yuan was taking advantage of the situation and deliberately wanted to kill him.

Lu Zhan said calmly, "I was overworked last night. Sister Yu and I drank a lot of spirit wine and fell into a deep sleep. Who would have thought that we would need to set up defenses in our own base camp?"

"..."

Tushan Shiyu was sitting on the side. Hearing this, she showed a coquettish expression and agreed with Lu Zhan's words, but she felt a little puzzled in her heart.

Although she didn't know what Peacock Mountain wanted to do to Dongfang You, Dongfang You left overnight, which was probably related to Black Sparrow. She guessed that Black Sparrow tried to knock Dongfang You out, but failed because the spiritual wine was secretly replaced by her, which made Dongfang You alert instead.

But the problem is, even if Dongfang You discovered the trick and fled overnight, how could he risk stealing the Peacock King?

How could an ant at the peak of the Mysterious Realm have such courage?

Compared to Dongfang You, Tushan Shiyu felt that Lu Zhan was more suspicious. It seemed that Lu Zhan had gained something last night...

The Peacock King's face froze slightly. Thinking of the noise he heard last night, he felt more and more like a clown. He said:

"In that case, I won't disturb Brother Xiuyuan's rest. I will make the royal family pay back a thousand times the humiliation suffered by Peacock Mountain this time!"

Lu Zhan looked unhappy: "Humph! How can I sit still after something like this happened? I'm going to go to the southern border city for a walk!"

"?"

The Peacock King couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Brother Xiuyuan, our plan is about to be implemented. During this period..."

“Don’t worry!” Lu Zhan waved his hands impatiently. “I still have some sense. I’m just taking a walk. I’ve been stuck in the old forest for so long and finally got out. Can’t I take a walk?”

"..."

The Peacock King seemed to want to say something but hesitated and finally remained silent.

Although Xiu Yuan is hot-tempered, cruel and ruthless, he still has some brains, otherwise he would not have been favored by his ancestors. Even if he went to the southern border city, he probably would not cause trouble, so there is no need to panic.

Thinking of this, Peacock King nodded: "Brother Xiuyuan, please do as you please."

"Well, go ahead." Lu Zhan waved his hands contentedly, feeling very happy.

Living among the monsters was really pleasant. His soul had no shortage of food, and he could get a lot of spiritual essence for free. Lu Zhan was almost reluctant to leave.

After the Peacock King left, Tushan Shiyu pursed his lips and said thoughtfully:

"Did you take the Peacock King's things?"

Lu Zhan blinked and said with a smile: "The princess also went to steal last night. I thought it was the princess who took it."

"..."

Tushan Shiyu did not steal any treasures last night, but seeing that Lu Zhan was unwilling to talk more, she did not ask any more questions and said, "I stole the spirit wine last night, but it helped us by accident. The more chaos there is between Peacock Mountain and the Southern Border royal family, the better it is for us."

Lu Zhan stood up and said, "Forget about that. I came to Southern Xinjiang just to improve my strength. I don't care about other things. I'm going to go out for a walk."

Tushan Shiyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Kongque Mountain is heavily guarded. No matter what you want to do, you'd better be careful."

Lu Zhan said without even turning his head: "Don't worry, my lady, I'm just going out for a walk, I won't let you be a widow."

"!"

Tushan Shiyu's face darkened and she didn't bother to pay attention to Lu Zhan. She decided to take advantage of the night to go to Peacock Mountain to explore.

Although Peacock Mountain is under martial law, her identity is special, so it is not difficult for her to move around.

outside the window.

Lu Zhan stepped on the blue cloud and suddenly went straight up into the sky, looking like he was out sightseeing. After shaking off the attendants who followed him on Peacock Mountain, Lu Zhan took out his voice transmission bell and decided to send a message to the Grand Master.

Since arriving in Southern Xinjiang, Lu Zhan has been contacting the Thief Saint whenever he encountered problems, but this matter was of no small importance.

The civil strife between Peacock Mountain and the royal family of Southern Xinjiang is the perfect opportunity for the Great Zhou to reap the benefits.

Must report to the female boss.

…………

Wuyang Palace, Bianjing of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As the year is coming to an end, all departments are busy improving their year-end performance, but the chief company is having some free time.

The Demon Suppression Division does not rely on the season for its survival. Even on New Year's Eve, as long as a demon appears in the Imperial City, the Demon Suppression Division must take action to resolve the issue. Whether or not it is the New Year is of little significance to the Demon Suppression Division.

After the Grand Master had some free time, he became more and more obsessed with cultivation. Wuyang Palace refused to accept visitors, and during the bustling year-end, some people felt deserted.

The court officials were happy to see this happen. Without the participation of the Grand Master in the court, the atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed. Everyone could speak freely without having to worry about the Grand Master being around.

"Boom~~"

At three quarters past the hour of Xu, the quiet and peaceful palace at the rear of the Wuyang Palace suddenly began to shake violently, and an astonishing chill quickly spread from the center of the palace.

Click~

Click~

Bianjing, which was already freezing cold, became even more chilled by the cold. The surrounding streets were instantly frozen three feet deep, and the icy wind penetrated the skin.

The north wind was howling and the sky was gloomy.

The side hall was shaking more and more violently, as if a wild beast was trying to break free from its restraints. Under the constant shaking, the palace fell apart and collapsed with a loud bang.

Amidst the broken tiles and ruins, an awe-inspiring aura rushed straight into the sky, like the sun hanging high in the sky, illuminating half of the sky in Bianjing. Under this force, the shadow of the Ice Phoenix emerged from the sky that was originally covered with dark clouds.

The power of the Ice Emperor was like the mighty power of heaven, waking the people from their sleep. The people breathed rapidly and subconsciously opened the windows to look at the night sky.

Under the inky blue sky, snowflakes were flying and the cold wind was as sharp as a knife. Suddenly, a phantom of a phoenix appeared in the sky. The ice-blue phoenix gathered in the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds.

The people were astonished and thought it was an auspicious sign, so they knelt down and worshiped the sky.

But this strange phenomenon only lasted for a moment, and then it dissipated like glass. The dark clouds gathered in the sky again, and the north wind blew snow, as if the strange phenomenon had never happened.

Only the Wuyang Palace, where dust and smoke were scattered everywhere, silently proved what had just happened.

"Bangdang..."

The heavy palace door was pushed open from the inside, and the Grand Master, wrapped in a purple fox fur, walked barefoot in the white snow, revealing his smooth long legs and snow-white shoulders and neck.

The Grand Master wore no makeup, and her black hair was untied, cascading down behind her. Her face, which was enough to astonish everything, was extremely domineering.

She stood in the snow, her charming yet majestic eyes looking towards the back of the palace, her unpainted red lips slightly parted, with a noble air of majesty without anger:

"Lanlan, how many times has this forced a breakthrough?"

Aunt Mingyu stood behind him and thought for a moment before saying:

"The fifth time. This is the fifth time that the young lady has forcefully broken through to the Creation Realm. But judging by the current situation, she has failed again."

"..."

The chief minister pondered for a moment and sighed. His previously cynical and dignified face now showed a bit of kindness and sorrow:

"She is only in her jasper years. To be able to reach the peak of the Mysterious Realm at this age is already an extraordinary talent. If she wants to break through to the Creation Realm at this time without external help, it is simply a foolish dream."

Aunt Mingyu raised her hand to help the Grand Master adjust his cloak, covering the faintly visible jade balls, and then said:

"Although the young lady is young, she is determined. Your Highness has tried to persuade her many times but to no avail, which shows that she is determined. I dare to guess that this may be related to Lord Lu..."

"..."

When the Grand Master heard the words "Lord Lu", a few rays of light flashed in her cold and deep phoenix eyes. She raised the corners of her lips and revealed a charming and elegant smile:

"Lan Lan has always been arrogant. When she meets a monster like Lu Zhan, she naturally can't help but want to compete with him. But she doesn't know that everything in the world is predestined. How can you force it?"

Not to mention in this era, even in the ancient times with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, according to Lu Zhan's talent, he can be called a "monster". Not only is he talented, but his luck is also extremely good.

The Grand Master prides herself on being a genius in cultivation, but when compared to Lu Zhan, she has to admit defeat.

That kid is simply not a human being.

Aunt Mingyu saw her master's ambiguous smile, weighed the pros and cons, and reminded:

"I feel that the reason why the young lady is so eager to break through is not because she is unwilling, but because she loves Master Lu so deeply that she does not want to fall too far behind him."

"?"

The chief master gathered his thick fox fur coat and blinked his eyes: "You are deeply in love?"

"Of course it is." Aunt Mingyu smiled happily, "Your Highness has always been worried that Miss would be affected by her childhood and would be unhappy for the rest of her life, but now Miss has found her true love, why don't you help her?"

"?"

The Grand Master raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression somewhat meaningful, and she walked towards the palace, saying as she walked:
