A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 374

Chapter 374 Heading to the Jingran Domain

“Master, Madam, what’s going on with you two?”

After returning from the Tribulation Crossing, Li Yuping noticed that Su Qiaoran’s complexion had a slight flush, so she asked with some confusion.

Su Qiaoran merely waved her hand, said she was fine, then turned to look northwest and asked,

“I remember you said the Jingran Domain should be in that direction, Yuping?”

“Yes, Madam. May I ask what your plan is?”

Li Yuping was puzzled but quickly nodded in response.

Hearing this, Su Qiaoran turned to look at Wu Hao and then coquettishly said,

“Husband, we’ve been traveling non-stop all this way. Shouldn’t we find a place to rest for a while?”

Although Su Qiaoran didn’t say it outright, Wu Hao could guess what she meant: she wanted him to step in and help Li Yuping deal with the trouble she was facing, so she could have peace of mind.

However, Wu Hao did have his own thoughts; he wanted to gather information about the Divine Realm’s various powers. Although Wu Hao was not afraid of those forces now, his principle was to “know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated.”

Seeing Wu Hao agree, Li Yuping clearly guessed Su Qiaoran’s purpose and said with some concern,

“Master, Chen Jingrang is a super Great Expert at the peak of a God Emperor. Maybe we should avoid drawing attention for now.”

As for the Li Family, after hearing their Family Head agreed to the marriage alliance, Li Yuping no longer felt any sense of belonging. Her parents were dead, and no one in the Li Family treated her well—if she left, so be it.

Regarding Wu Hao and Su Qiaoran’s safety, Li Yuping naturally cared deeply and didn’t want either of them to fall into danger.

Before Su Qiaoran could start praising Wu Hao’s strength, Wu Hao waved his hand calmly and said,

“No need. That’s just a secondary objective. If Chen Jingrang doesn’t come looking for trouble, I won’t make a move against him. But if he insists on courting death, whether God Emperor or God Venerable, I can defeat them with a single strike.”

Although Li Yuping had no idea how powerful Wu Hao truly was, she was completely affected by his imposing aura and chose to trust his words wholeheartedly, saying with excitement,

“Thank you, Master.”

“All right, no time to waste. Let’s set off.”

After speaking, Wu Hao headed straight toward the Jingran Domain, with Su Qiaoran and Li Yuping hurriedly following behind. However, Wu Hao did not move at full speed; instead, he set the pace to match Su Qiaoran’s speed. After all, if everything proceeded solely at his pace, it would be far too boring (mainly because the protagonist not holding back would leave nothing interesting to write about).

Moreover, on the way, unless Wu Hao absolutely needed to intervene, he would let Su Qiaoran take action himself, aiming to hone her abilities. After all, as his woman, her strength and foundation definitely had to improve.

Meanwhile, inside the Li Family in the Jingran Domain, Li Taiping, the Family Head, wore a very grim expression as he looked at the Yi Clan Envoy who had just arrived and said,

“I’ve told you, our Li Family does not shelter Li Yuping, nor have we made any move against the experts your Yi Clan sent. Whether you believe it or not, our agreement to the marriage alliance does not mean that Li Yuping agreed to it. That is her own decision and has nothing to do with the Li Family.”

“The Family Head has said, unless you hand over a million mid-grade divine sources, then we will start a war.”

The Yi Clan Envoy’s expression was calm. Although his realm was only at the peak of the Heavenly God stage, he did not hold Li Taiping—a late-stage God King—in any regard.

Upon hearing this, Li Taiping’s expression grew even darker. Handing over a million mid-grade divine sources would undoubtedly cripple the Li Family for a long time. Yet, the Yi Clan Envoy’s aggressive stance left Li Taiping no choice but to speak.

“You’re merely a Heavenly God at its peak. Aren’t you afraid I, your True Self, will take action against you?”

“Hmph, I don’t believe you would attack me. If anything happens to me, I guarantee your Li Family won’t survive for a month.”The Yi Clan Envoy stood up, his eyes showing not a trace of fear as he looked at Li Taiping.

Seeing the envoy’s expression, Li Taiping’s face grew even grimmer. The envoy was right—though he was only at the peak of the Heavenly God stage, he was still a direct descendant of the Yi Clan, representing their honor.

If Li Taiping were to make a move against him, the Yi Clan would probably seize the chance to strike at the Li Family.

With this in mind, Li Taiping gritted his teeth and took out one million mid-grade divine sources from the clan’s treasury.

“Here is one million mid-grade divine sources. Take it.”

“Hahaha, the Family Head of the Li Family does have some appreciation for propriety. Hahaha.”

The Yi Clan Envoy laughed heartily before turning and leaving.

Li Taiping’s face darkened so much it seemed ink could drip from it. Once the envoy had disappeared, he shouted angrily,

“Send word outside—declare that Li Yuping is expelled from the Li Family. From now on, Li Yuping is no longer one of us!”

“Family Head, isn’t this a bit inappropriate? After all, Yuping’s parents died fighting for our Li Family,” a hesitant Elder spoke up, unable to hold back in defense of Li Yuping.

But Li Taiping, still boiling with anger, shouted furiously, “Can’t you see what the Yi Clan is doing? They’re taking us for granted! Keeping Li Yuping here will only speed up their move against the Li Family. Besides, she has even slain one of the Yi Clan’s powerful warriors. If she remains with us, it’ll give the Yi Clan an excuse to strike.”

Hearing Li Taiping’s words, the senior members of the Li Family, though reluctant, had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Though Li Yuping’s talent was terrifying—given a few hundred million years, she might even become a God Emperor—the time simply did not allow it. They had to abandon her.

Li Yuping herself remained unaware that the Li Family had already cast her aside. Even if she knew, it wouldn’t make much difference; she felt no real attachment to the Li Family. This was the perfect opportunity for her to leave.

In the Xuanyuan Realm, at the Blood Cloud Sect.

“Sect Master, you truly are wise. You didn’t rush to take action alongside the Blood Soul Sect. Otherwise, the Blood Cloud Sect would have faced total destruction.”

“Yes, Sect Master, now that the Blood Soul Sect has been wiped out and the other demonic factions in the Xuanyuan Realm have suffered severe blows, only our Blood Cloud Sect has remained inactive, making us the biggest winner. From now on, our Blood Cloud Sect will likely become the strongest demonic faction in the Xuanyuan Realm.”

“Sect Master, you’re amazing!”

The Elders of the Blood Cloud Sect flattered the Blood Cloud Immortal Emperor.

Upon hearing this, the Blood Cloud Immortal Emperor waved his hand and said, “Keep it low-key. Although there aren’t many Immortal Emperor Pinnacles in the Xuanyuan Realm right now, there are still a few. Therefore, you all must break through to the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle as soon as possible. Only then can we firmly establish our Blood Cloud Sect as the leading force in the Demonic Path.”

“Yes, Sect Master!”
