Chapter 574 Call me Grandpa
As the woman floating in the snowing skies of the Eversnowing Valley looked to the sky filling with giant glowing patterns she suddenly felt a thin smell of herbs, and her eyes widened as she recognized it.
"Liang Yuhan! You wench! How are you here?"
Her eyes narrowed as she made a menacing expression.
"Hahahaha, why would I not be here, Zhang Shui?
Rather, why are you here? Are you still trying to get into Gu Zhen's bed?"
Madam Liang appeared not far from the woman, her mocking not hidden at all as her expression said it all.
"Just because you don't recognize a great man when you see him it doesn't mean everyone's like that!
I don't understand why he would prefer you to me who is willing to do everything for him, but once I am done with you there won't be a shred of Lord Gu's desire for you left"
The woman who obviously had some history with Liang Yuhan hissed like a venomous snake.
"Hahaha, a great man? Truly, taste is a very subjective matter, what looks like a swan to you is a toad to me.
Besides, you don't know why he doesn't prefer you? Really?
Come on, Darling, you're ugly!"
Liang Yuhan leaned her head back as she laughed, her enticing chest moving in unison with her laughter as her opponent almost choked from her words.
"You-...! You spiteful stuck up bitch!!!"
The woman's face distorted into a grimace as she clenched her fists.
"Well then, let's see if you can escape my illusion, not that you ever succeeded in the past...
And if you're wondering, yes you are already in one"
Madam Liang's words resounded in the ears of the woman as she widened her eyes, watching as her surroundings started melting along with Madam Liang's figure fading away into smoke.

"Well then, young ladies, you will have to go with us..."
One of the seven Transcendent cultivators who arrived at the Mansion in the Fantian Kingdom spoke, when...
*Rumble!*
The tremor of the Formation activating filled the air.
"What the...?"
"This means that now there is nothing impeding me from facing you"
As one of them raised a voice full of confusion, a tranquil voice resounded as Ye Ling's figure suddenly appeared in the skies above the mansion.
"Half-step Essence Awakening!
Heh! If this was outside you might have received the Heavenly Tribulation and advanced, but you were too little too close! Not reaching by just a bit!
Not that one Essence Awakening Realm cultivator can do much against all seven of us even if you had advanced..."
A woman among the Transcendents snorted as she noticed Ye Ling's cultivation that was on the verge of the Essence Awakening Realm, but not quite there yet because she could not undergo Heavenly Tribulation in this Fractured World.
"We'll see about that..."
Ye Ling's blue eyes reflected the seven of them with complete calm as she slowly unsheathed her sword, a sharp Sword Intent enveloping the surroundings, causing the seven to widen their eyes and shudder from that feeling.
"...Heaven Transcending Lotus"
Her beautiful tranquil voice resounded in the discolored skies outside the Fantian Kingdom capital, as a pure white, Heavenly and ethereal giant lotus bloomed above the capital.

"Whew~... looks like I have arrived in time"
Zhao Biren, the Wine Dao Master spoke as he watched Old Yen trample on Fen Gigyu, looking at a figure in the skies that approached him.
Fen Gigyu's mission was to hunt down the Feng Family army that reportedly evacuated the Capital of the Fantian Kingdom somewhere to the West, and as such Gu Zhen attached one Transcendent to them in case there were any of Wu Long's women there in order for everything to go smoothly.
However, as the Transcendent appeared and was disoriented by the activation of the formation, his face then soured at the sight of Zhao Biren.
"Tch, I just had to draw the short stick..."
He mumbled as this man, despite being a Wine Dao Master, was not to be underestimated when it came to combat.
---
*Rumble!*
As the Formation activated around the continent, Gu Zhen's five subordinates in the Liugwei Kingdom anxiously looked around, trying to understand what was happening, feeling the aura-suppression field envelop them.
"Hahaha, what? Is there some trouble, young lads?"
An old but vigorous voice filled the shuddering skies as the five faces distorted with horror at recognizing it.
"S-senior Zhao!"
"Ho~h? Am I back to being called 'Senior' by you lot?"
Zhao Xieren appeared on the scene with a sonic boom, as the five people began trembling much like the air around them, realizing they drew the short stick.
"Senior Zhao, we will be depending on you"
Wei Lan spoke with a respectful tone, cupping her hands as the old man turned to the three beauties with a smile.
"Hahaha, no need to be so formal, you can call me 'Grandpa', Mei'er"
He chuckled, causing a pause as the three looked at each other.
"Um, Senior Zhao... I am not your descendant"
Wei Lan carefully clarified as the old man made first a surprised, and then slightly troubled face with a laugh.
"Oooh... of course, hahaha, my apologies young lady...
This old man has poor eyes lately...
Khu-khum"
And then turning to Cao Xiang, made a sincere expression with a reassuring face once more.
"You can call me 'Grandpa'"
As his words fell Cao Xiang covered her face with her hand as Wei Lan's shoulders started trembling and she turned to the side with a "Pfft".
Without taking her hand off her face Cao Xiang pointed the finger of her free hand to the shyly smiling Cao Mei who had a slightly troubled look, not wanting to make it even more uncomfortable for the old man by stating that they were removed by at least a hundred generations, so technically there was a lot of repeated "Grand-Grand-..." before she could say "Grandpa".
"Khm! Of course! I meant you Mei'er"
The old man tried to salvage the situation somehow, but seeing Cao Mei's kind nod acknowledging his words that kindness made it even worse as he turned a vengeful gaze against the five Transcendents.
"You mongrels! Let's see how you manage to answer me for trying to move against my Descendant!"
His thunderous voice resounded in the skies of the Liugwei Kingdom as Cao Xiang, Cao Mei and Wei Lan flew toward the Royal Palace of the Liugwei Kingdom to finish what they started.

"... and so, it is you who had to divide your powers among different places, which made it predictable where you would concentrate your forces"
Wu Long lightly spoke, explaining why all of Gu Zhen's plans failed.
Gu Zhen had to leave a significant portion of his forces against the Azure Eagles, as sending insufficient numbers would mean they would be wiped out before he had the time to aid them, and the Azure Eagles would be free to not only decimate his army attacking the Empire, but with their speed would have the time to go aid the other battles.
He also had to send significant numbers against places likely protected by Zhao Biren and Madam Liang, as both were tricky fighters, not to mention that if Wu Long was protecting the Mansion as he expected, he should at least be considered a match for one of the Transcendents.
"It is no use trying to contact them, all communication talismans are blocked by the Formation, which is its second purpose"
Wu Long then shook his head as Gu Zhen took out a talisman, prompting the alchemist to grind his teeth and crumple the talisman in his clenched fist.
