It was quite a while later before Shang Ruoyu realized that Vigilante A did not leave. He gave it a thought and understood why.

“This is for you, it should be equivalent to half my fortune,” Shang Ruoyu threw a green seed through the air.

“Er, how can the Second-in-command of Azure Mountain have this little?” Vigilante A said with disbelief.

“Hmph, do you think all cultivators act like you? Amassing money and getting richer than a whole country?” Shang Ruoyu said nonchalantly.

“Hoho, all gentlemen love money and I make them without doing evil. I may be rich but every penny was earned legitimately. No such thing as amassing too much.”

“Well, you can do what you like. Although next time, don’t refer to me as ‘Azure Mountain’s Second-in-command’. Those who know me will understand it is referring to me, but those who don’t me will think I’m some common bandit...” Shang Ruoyu turned to leave.

“Azure Mountain is no different from bandits, both are equal tyrants,” Vigilante A said from behind his back.

“Fuhh....” Shang Ruoyu nearly threw up blood. He immediately held on to Qi Hui, who had hurried up towards him. He shook his head and said, “Let’s go. I don’t want to speak to this person anymore.”

“Okay. From now onwards, let’s stay in the mountains to read poetry and draw, we’ll never get involved with these worldly matters again,” Qi Hui said with trepidation.

She had finally understood that both she and her husband were philosophical cultivators. It would be difficult for them in this era to fight with these cultivators who were familiar with bloodbaths.

“No. Hiding is pointless. Catastrophe will come knocking sooner or later. I will return to train in isolation and hopefully attain a higher level soon. I now understand that in order to defeat experienced opponents of the same level, I will need to level up.”

Shang Ruoyu is after all Azure Mountain’s Second-in-command, he still had sense when it came to such matter.

“Okay. Then I will help stabilize any matters from the outside. I won’t let you worry.”

“That’s good of you. Let’s go. It’s lucky that we are not far from our home’s new entrance.”

Both of them headed to Luanette’s tallest peak as they talked. It was where ‘Azure Peak’ was located.

“Dear husband, you have given Vigilante A the stock seed. There won’t be any more replacement plants, Azure Peak will turn yellow after a hundred years.”

“Let’s not worry now about something that will happen a hundred years later.”

....

The System Space.

Fang Ning secretly took out the seed that Sir had just kept in the System Preservation Area and was turning it here and there in observation.

It was oval-shaped and looked like an ordinary seed the size of a nail. Nothing about it seemed special and did not look anything like the core ingredient for a magical spell.

“What are you looking at. That’s my treasure,” Sir hurriedly took it away from him.

“Why are you being so petty. I just wanted to know how to utilize it so we can use it for work. We need it to turn Morality City green. Otherwise, who knows how many years it would take if we continue with the current method,” Fang Ning said matter-of-factly.

“Er, I will use any treasure that comes my way...” Sir said proudly.

“Hmph, you never use the Double Divine Monuments.” Fang Ning burst its bubble unfeelingly.

“Nonsense. It’s not that I don’t know how to, it’s just that they refuse to cooperate with me.” Sir was furious.

The two monuments were obviously still holding a grudge against it.

...

At the same time in the Celestial Dragon Realm.

“Um, what is this ugly looking thing? Great Azure Dragon, did you make this?” Chong Daqing was looking at a plate of half-blackened half burnt Egg Fried Rice and a bowl of dark green thick soup while backing away.

“Times are bad these recent years. There is turmoil and chaos and fewer farmers are working while landowners have no grain. Don’t waste when you have food to eat.” Sir’s other thread tried to convince it.

“I’m not brave enough to eat that. If I get a tummy ache because of this, it would be even more wasteful.” Chong Daqing shook its head continuously.

“It’s really okay. The dishes may not look good but the ingredients are guaranteed fresh. It would definitely not give you a tummy ache. You can eat without worry. Once upon a time when you were in the Upper Realm, you won’t even have the chance to eat these. If you don’t have them now, you won’t be able to enjoy them in a few years’ time.” Sir continued to convince.

“Um, that sounds reasonable.”

Chong Daqing bit into the meal, closed its eyes and swallowed.

It opened its eyes. It was slightly disappointed, slightly surprised and even a little delighted.

“Hey, this rice isn’t as bad as I thought, it even tastes pretty unique. It might be a far cry from the Fang Family Restaurant, but it’s still considered pretty standard. Just that it gave me a scare with its ugly look.”

“Hoho, everything in this world is this way. It might look nice but it’s useless, if it is useful, it might look ugly,” Sir said with much sentiment.

“It’s not always the case, Great Azure Dragon. Aren’t you powerful and good looking?” Chong Daqing was astonished.

“Um, you may be a little insect but you sure have a way with words, much better than some other fellow. Never mind, I’ll add on a plate of the Dragon Clan’s Honey Baked Grilled Meat...” Sir was delighted.

“I not only have a way with words but am also an expert in singing...” Chong Daqing was ecstatic.

“You’ll sing for me?” asked Sir with interest.

“You have long horns on your head and a tail on your back. Nobody knows you are the Great Azure Dragon...”

“Oh, it looks like we are kindred spirits,” Sir was sentimental again after hearing its words,

“I’m not understanding,” Chong Daqing said as it continued eating.

...

Lunaette, outside of Azure Peak.

Gu Buwei stood up to welcome Shang Ruoyu and his wife.

“Very good. Look, Buwei is very obedient. While I was fighting with Vigilante A, it shocked Heaven and Earth and yet he remained steadfast. Buwei indeed lives up to his name, 1 ” Shang Ruoyu praised him in front of his wife.

Qi Hui had a strange expression but reluctantly nodded her head, “He has always been an honest and upright person. He obeys you. You’ve instructed him to guard the mountain so naturally, he would never leave it. If an outsider had taken advantage while we were moving the mountain’s entrance, we would be in big trouble.”

“That’s reasonable. Buwei, you’ve done well,” said Shang Ruoyu lightly.

“Master is too kind. I have something that I need to report,” Gu Buwei was not swayed and replied with seriousness.

“What is it, do share with us,” Shang Ruoyu frowned. Now that he was heavily injured, it would be difficult for him to settle any trouble.

“Demon Lord Zhi Nan was previously spying on us and has been standing guard near the mountain’s entrance the last few days. I have observed the cosmos and the mountain’s entrance will be affected by demonic energy. I’m afraid it might be connected to the Demon Lord. I don’t know what he could have done.” Gu Buwei was indeed extraordinary. He might not have predicted Zhi Nan’s previous actions, but he had still managed to detect something through ‘Cloud Divination’.

Although this time, he had a much powerful medium. He actually utilized the power of the ‘cosmos’ to predict the past and future.

He had not been able to uncover any traces of Demon Lord Zhi Nan in his previous divinations. Anything that had to do with Zhi Nan had always morphed into a black image among the clouds.

Now, he was able to lend a hand with the cosmos for divination. It was a vast improvement to make within a couple of years.

“Oh no, trouble is indeed brewing.”

Shang Ruoyu finally voiced out his concern.

He knew that this mission moving the mountain’s entrance would not be an easy task and was even harder to accomplish.

It would seem that under the watchful eyes of Vigilante A, everything had proceeded smoothly with no interruptions, when in fact, someone had already taken the opportunity to create trouble.

Only a Demon Saint of this stature was able to do so in the face of the formidable Azure Mountains.
