Wen Ping contacted his father on the battlefield and revealed that he had broken through to the Celestial Unrestricted realm. He also revealed that Long Ye was now his subordinate and would be sent to retrieve his father. Meanwhile, Long Haomiao and his mother, Luo Liuxin, were left to await Wen Ping's judgment. Si Haixian sent a messenger to summon Wen Ping to the Domain Lord's Mansion.

The person delivering the message had a very familiar voice.

It was Jun Tianyi of the Red Domain.

Usually, such a task of delivering a message shouldn’t fall to the Master of a Domain, but upon learning that Wen Ping had arrived in Celestial Sun City and went to the Long Family first, Jun Tianyi had volunteered for it.

Because he was very curious about why Wen Ping had come to the Long Family and felt a mix of unease and anticipation.

After all, there was no small enmity between him and the Long Family, and previously, the Long Family had often complained to the Great Domain Master about the death of Di Chen.

"Sect Leader Wen..." Due to the sound insulation barrier, Jun Tianyi wasn’t sure if Wen Ping could hear him, so he called out again.

After calling out, as his gaze swept across the Long Family’s residence, he suddenly paused, and the anticipation and unease in his eyes vanished instantly.

Instead, they were replaced with ecstatic joy.

He saw Long Haomiao and others kneeling on the ground!

This was exactly what he had been anticipating!

Meanwhile, inside, Wen Ping heard Jun Tianyi’s voice but did not respond because no matter what the matter was, it wasn’t more important than family matters.

Today, even if it were a matter of great significance, it would have to be postponed.

"What’s wrong?"

Wen’s mother asked curiously when she saw Wen Ping suddenly pause.

Wen Ping replied calmly, "It’s nothing. Si Haixian’s people have come, inviting me to the Domain Lord’s Mansion for some major discussion. But I don’t want to go, at least not right now. Let him wait."

"Hmm, you make your own decisions now. You no longer need my guidance," Wen’s mother said as she walked to a brand-new wooden box, opened it, and took out a stack of neatly folded clothes, handing them to Wen Ping gently, "Try on this outfit, and if there are any issues with the fit, I’ll make adjustments. I originally thought you wouldn’t wear this set for a long time, so I made it a bit larger."

"Just right, I’ve grown taller and broader recently; it should fit perfectly now." Wen Ping immediately took off his Immortal Clear Wind Robe and began trying on the clothes.

However, once he put the clothes on, they were not just a little too big; the outer garment dragged on the floor, which would surely sweep the dust off the streets clean if he took a walk outside, "Were you planning to see me years from now?"

Wen Ping teased with a laugh.

But there was a hint of a pang in his nose.

Seeing this, Long’s mother lifted the outer garment, then laughed heartily and said, "But it looks quite nice, turn around and let’s have a look."

"I’m not wearing a skirt," Wen Ping said helplessly, but he turned around anyway.

Long’s mother spoke again, "Turn two more circles backward."

"You might as well just make me a skirt," Wen Ping sighed and turned two more times.

Fine.

Do whatever you like.

I’ll keep turning even if it’s ten more times, as long as you’re happy.

While Wen Ping was cooperating to the fullest, his spiritual power detected the presence of many people, including a Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm expert who hadn’t come to greet him earlier in the day.

That person stood a thousand feet above the Long Family’s residence, looking down and murmuring, "This Immortal Sect Leader really considers himself a King-Sealing Expert, doesn’t he? Coming to Celestial Sun City and immediately going to the Long Family to ask for accountability, making everyone wait for him alone, what audacity."

Wen Ping merely took a glance at the person’s simple profile with his system, not intending to pay much attention, as the Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm no longer posed a threat.

It was only the King-Sealed Experts or those above that level, with their hostility, who needed his attention or represented potential threats to be dealt with.

But the next set of words focused Wen Ping’s spiritual power solely on this individual.

"Acting as the host for the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, representing our Primordial Yang Domain, and facing not only people from our own domain but the entirety of You Country. Someone with no background, official, or military identity being appointed as the host is utterly ridiculous. One can only wonder what the water-logged brains of Si Haixian were thinking in promoting him to host."

"I need to find a way to convince my master to remove Wen Ping from the host position; otherwise, wouldn’t our Primordial Yang Domain become a laughingstock? Moreover, only this Immortal Sect Leader has offended the two major forces of Zeming Palace and the Thousand Crafts Sect. These forces are quite influential outside our domain, and if they incite other large domains against us, wouldn’t our Primordial Yang Domain’s prodigies find themselves surrounded by enemies?"

After the young Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm expert finished speaking, Wen Ping wished he could roll his eyes and thought to himself: Brother, are you looking for trouble when you’re bored? I don’t even have a system task, I just came to Celestial Sun City to watch the excitement at the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking.

The Domain Master of the Primordial Yang is not worrying, so why are you worrying about things you shouldn’t?

Wen Ping casually glanced at the individual’s simple information again and found that he was actually the senior disciple of a King-Sealed Expert.

[Jiao Xie]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 372 years]

[Realm: Heaven Unrestricted Middle Realm]

...

[Brief Social Relations: Master is the King-Sealing Expert of the Primordial Yang Domain: Wuqi King...]

Seeing this, Wen Ping understood.

No wonder he liked to give orders, having been accustomed to a high status due to his King-Sealing Master.

Soon after, Jiao Xie left.

Wen Ping retracted his spiritual power and continued to try on clothes with his mother. As time passed bit by bit, an hour went by without him noticing.

Si Haixian’s people had come three times, urging Wen Ping to head to the City Lord’s Mansion, but upon seeing Jun Tianyi waiting outside the barrier, they could only wait with him.

Wen Ping was aware of all this, so before his father returned, he decided to go to the Domain Lord’s Mansion first.

Because he heard something from Si Haixian’s people.

Apparently, the competition process for the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking hadn’t been finalized yet!

Wen Ping felt speechless.

Tomorrow everything starts.

The tournament process hasn’t been finalized yet.

That’s too hasty.

Of course, Wen Ping definitely wouldn’t think it’s Si Haixian’s negligence or laziness; there’s likely another hidden reason.

"Okay, Mother, I’ll try on the clothes you’ve made later. People from the Domain Lord’s Mansion have come four times. They’re still waiting outside. I’ll go to the City Lord’s Mansion first." With that, Wen Ping found a reasonably fitting outer garment from the pile of clothes and put it on.

The Dragon Mother was startled, "Why didn’t you say earlier? Making the Great Domain Master wait for you, when did you learn to act so high and mighty?"

"This isn’t high and mighty; I came to Celestial Sun City originally to find you." As soon as he finished dressing, Wen Ping was pushed out of the room by the Dragon Mother, "Alright, go to the Domain Lord’s Mansion first. When you return, I’ll make your favorite dish."

Wen Ping nodded, gave a couple of instructions to Primordial Vast, Emperor of Sky Splitting, and then headed toward the courtyard. But as soon as he took a few steps, he heard a voice coming from outside the courtyard.

"This old woman, Luo Liuxin, along with the Long Family, respectfully sends off Sect Leader Wen."

"Hmm?"

The members of the Long Family didn’t kneel down crying like foolish villains; this was unexpected for Wen Ping.

This Luo Liuxin was quite clever.

If she brought the Long Family to apologize, even if they kowtowed so hard that the house shook, Wen Ping would probably not even glance at them and just leave.

With this move, Wen Ping suddenly didn’t want to leave.

"Now you all know everything... Honestly, I want to kill you." With that, Wen Ping’s cold gaze swept over all the members of the Long Family kneeling outside the courtyard.

Long Haomiao was shocked, about to beg for mercy, but was held down by Luo Liuxin, "No matter what Sect Leader Wen does, it’s deserved. It’s all the fault of the Long Family. Neither I nor the members of the Long Family want to make excuses."

"Alright! Who was the first to propose using my mother for a marriage alliance?" Wen Ping bluntly asked, his icy gaze sweeping over everyone’s face.

Some avoided eye contact.

Some were fearful.

Some were relieved.

Luo Liuxin firmly said, "It was me."

"Mother!" Behind him, his mother’s voice came.

Wen Ping sneered, "Don’t play this game!"

As the words fell, Wen Ping instantly raised his hand and fired a point, along with it burst the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent.

Poof—

A sword.

An elder of the Long Family with the most fearful eyes fell dead on the spot.

Everyone was shocked, even the Dragon Mother was taken aback, but she didn’t mean to stop Wen Ping.

Because she had wanted this for a long time too.

The elder Wen Ping killed was indeed the first to propose the marriage alliance!

And also the one who had continuously championed the marriage plan!

"Everyone kneel properly!" After the man fell into a pool of blood, Luo Liuxin spoke up sharply before Wen Ping, shouting angrily at the Long Family members.

Wen Ping glanced at Luo Liuxin, who looked like she had gone mad from an outsider’s perspective; he knew what Luo Liuxin was up to, and also her thoughts.

"You’re clever, but they still need to die." Wen Ping said, then unleashed three more swords, each killing an elder of the Long Family.

Without exception, all three were behind Long Haomiao, the most terrified at this moment.

Long Haomiao was so frightened he almost stood up but was forcibly held down by Luo Liuxin and angrily scolded, "Kneel properly!"

Long Haomiao was helpless, could only kneel down again in terror, yet his hands and body could not help but tremble, because he was too scared.

But at this moment, Wen Ping put away his sword, then coldly eyed Luo Liuxin and the others, stared for about ten seconds, before turning to his mother and saying, "Mother, I’ll be back soon."

After speaking, Wen Ping removed the sound insulation barrier, then turned into a streak of astonishing light and soared towards the Primordial Yang Domain Lord’s Mansion.

Jun Tianyi saw this and didn’t make much of a pause, merely smirking proudly before quickly followed in Wen Ping’s footsteps.

As for the other people from the Domain Lord’s Mansion, seeing the bloody scene below, they dared not say much more, said what the Domain Master wanted them to say, and left immediately.

"The secret meeting is about to start, please send someone from the Long Family immediately."

After the people from the Domain Lord’s Mansion left, the members of the Long Family fell into prolonged silence.

Wen’s mother also turned and went back into the house.

A quarter of an hour later, while the Long Family began cleaning up the corpses, Luo Liuxin said to Long Haomiao, "You replace your father and attend the meeting, and from this moment on remember — don’t mention tonight’s event to anyone, and from this day forward, the Long Family shall look to Sect Leader Wen as our leader."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The members of the Long Family nodded.

Long Haomiao also nodded heavily.

He understood.

This was his only chance to survive.
