Chapter 259: Seizing Jiayuan City, Mo Juren's Thoughts, and Marrying Mo Jia Caihuan
Everyone acted separately, and Qin Shuang took Master Jin Guang and went straight towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The lord of Jiayuan City is named Li Yuanhao, one of the famous dignitaries in the secular world. It is said that he has the support of immortal cultivators.
The purpose of Qin Shuang's trip was to test Li Yuanhao's background and see if he could use him for his own purposes.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Jiayuan City. It is a magnificent building with strict guards.
When Qin Shuang and Master Jin Guang arrived at the gate of the mansion, the guards immediately stopped them.
"Stop! Who are you? How dare you trespass into the City Lord's Mansion!" the guard shouted sternly.
Qin Shuang smiled slightly and said calmly: "Go and inform your city lord and tell him that an old friend is visiting."
Seeing Qin Shuang's extraordinary demeanor, the guard did not dare to be negligent and hurried in to report.
Not long after, a man who looked like a butler came out and said respectfully to Qin Shuang: "Two distinguished guests, the city lord invites you."
Qin Shuang nodded and walked into the City Lord's Mansion with Master Jin Guang. The mansion was luxuriously decorated, showing the power of the City Lord Li Yuanhao everywhere. Qin Shuang looked indifferent, as if he didn't care about all this.
When they arrived at the hall, Li Yuanhao was sitting in the main seat. When he saw Qin Shuang coming in, he was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "This young master is unfamiliar to me. How should I address you?"
Qin Shuang smiled faintly, and said with a bow: "I am Qin Shuang. I hope the city lord will forgive me for my intrusive visit today."
A trace of doubt flashed across Li Yuanhao's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, you are too polite. I wonder what brings you here today?"
Qin Shuang looked directly at Li Yuanhao and said calmly, "I came here to discuss a business deal with the city lord."
"Oh?" Li Yuanhao raised his eyebrows. "I wonder what business Mr. Qin wants to discuss?"
Qin Shuang smiled slightly, his tone calm but with unquestionable majesty: "I want Jiayuan City to become my territory."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhao's expression changed instantly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Mr. Qin, what do you mean by this?"
Qin Shuang said calmly: "Don't be nervous, City Lord. I don't want to be your enemy. As long as you are willing to submit to me, I can not only guarantee you wealth and glory, but also allow you to have access to higher-level opportunities for cultivation."
Li Yuanhao sneered: "Mr. Qin, you are so arrogant! I, Li Yuanhao, have been running Jiayuan City for many years. How can I be shaken by your words?"
Qin Shuang was not angry, and said calmly: "If the city lord does not believe it, you can try it."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Shuang raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall. Li Yuanhao felt his breathing stagnate, as if a mountain was pressing on him, unable to move.
"You...you are a cultivator!" Li Yuanhao's face changed drastically, and there was a hint of trembling in his voice.
Qin Shuang smiled slightly and retracted his pressure: "Now, is the city lord willing to cooperate with me?"
Li Yuanhao took a deep breath, and a complex look flashed in his eyes. He knew that he was no match for Qin Shuang, and if he resisted, he would only destroy himself.
"Young Master Qin... No, Master Qin, I am willing to surrender." Li Yuanhao lowered his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Qin Shuang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, the city lord is indeed a smart man."
At this time, Mo Juren, Taoist Qingwen and others also returned to the City Lord's Mansion. Mo Juren bowed and said, "Master, the underworld forces in Jiayuan City have been investigated. The largest gang is the Tianba Clan, so there is no need to worry."
Qin Shuang nodded and said calmly: "Very good, next, we will conquer these forces one by one."
Everyone agreed in unison, their eyes full of awe. They knew that Qin Shuang's methods were unfathomable, and the forces of Jiayuan City were nothing more than ants in front of him.
In the west city of Jiayuan City, night falls and the lights dim.
Qin Shuang temporarily lived in Mo Juren's mansion. Although the Mo Mansion was not as magnificent as the City Lord's Mansion, it was also elegant in its own way.
"Hmm? The War God Fantasy Realm of Mortal Cultivation can be opened again!"
“I wonder who can be brought in this time?”
Qin Shuang sat alone in a quiet room, looking at the panel in his mind, feeling quite expectant.
Immediately, he closed his eyes and concentrated, his mind sinking into the [God of War Fantasy].
The War God Illusion is a mysterious space attached to Qin Shuang’s War God Temple.
Here, he can communicate with specific people through consciousness and even change the trajectory of their destiny.
In the illusion, a void of space slowly unfolds, with stars dotted all around, as if one is in the vast universe.
A slim figure gradually emerged.
She was wearing a light yellow dress, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her skin was whiter than snow, and her temperament was cold yet gentle, like a fairy from heaven who had descended to earth.
Her beauty is enough to make anyone fall for her.
"is her?"
Qin Shuang looked at the words on the panel in his mind and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He didn't expect that.
Tonight, the person who chose to be pulled into the illusion was actually the female disciple of Huangfeng Valley - Chen Qiaoqian.
Chen Qiaoqian opened her eyes, full of shock and confusion.
She looked around and found herself in an unfamiliar space with a strange and handsome man standing in front of her.
The man was dressed in white, had a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament.
"Where is this place? Who are you?" Chen Qiaoqian asked vigilantly, her voice as pleasant as a spring, but with a hint of coldness.
Qin Shuang smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "This is the War God Illusion. I am Qin Shuang, the master of the War God Temple. Miss Chen, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions."
"War God Illusion? War God Palace Master?" Chen Qiaoqian frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion, "Why did you bring me here?"
Qin Shuang said calmly: "Because you are my destined person, I can help you change your fate."
"We are destined to be together? Can you change my fate?" Chen Qiaoqian was slightly startled, then sneered, "Why should others change my fate?"
At this moment, Chen Qiaoqian was full of doubts.
He was originally meditating and practicing in his room, but he didn't expect that his consciousness would appear here. Was this a dream?
Qin Shuang didn't care about her attitude, and still said calmly: "Miss Chen, although you were born in the Yellow Maple Valley and have outstanding talents, you can't escape the fate of family marriage. If I guess correctly, your family has arranged a marriage for you. Although the other party is powerful, it is not what you want."
Chen Qiaoqian's expression changed slightly when she heard this.
Qin Shuang's words hit the nail on the head. Although she was an inner disciple of the Yellow Maple Valley, the pressure from her family always followed her like a shadow.
Her father had already arranged a marriage for her. The other party was a descendant of a large immortal cultivation family in the secular world. Although he was powerful, he did not have a high talent for immortal cultivation.
Chen Qiaoqian was extremely resistant to this, but she could do nothing about it.
"You...how do you know all this?" There was a slight tremor in Chen Qiaoqian's voice.
Qin Shuang smiled slightly: "Not only do I know this, I also know that you are unwilling to succumb to fate. Miss Chen, if you are willing, I can help you get rid of the shackles of your family and let you truly control your own destiny."
Chen Qiaoqian's eyes flashed with a trace of struggle, and she asked in a low voice: "Why...why do you want to help me? What price do I need to pay?"
Qin Shuang said calmly: "I help you because I see your talent and potential. As for the price... you just need to do one thing for me one day in the future. I won't tell you what it is for now, but I will never go against your heart."
Chen Qiaoqian was silent for a moment, and a hint of determination gradually emerged in her eyes: "Okay, I promise you. But I want to know, how can you help me change my fate?"
Qin Shuang was about to answer when suddenly, the space of the illusion began to tremble slightly.
He frowned and said calmly, "The time has come. Miss Chen, today's communication ends here. When the time is right, I will meet you again."
Before she finished her words, Chen Qiaoqian's figure gradually disappeared into the illusion.
Chen Qiaoqian's consciousness returned to her body. When she opened her eyes, she found herself still sitting in the cave in the Yellow Maple Valley. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream, but it was so real that she couldn't ignore it.
"The illusion of the God of War... Qin Shuang, the master of the Temple of the God of War..." Chen Qiaoqian murmured in a low voice, her eyes full of shock and curiosity.
She didn't know who Qin Shuang was, but she had a vague feeling that her fate might really change because of this person.
At the same time, in the Mo Mansion, Mo Juren returned to his courtyard. His wives had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw him return, they all came to greet him.
The young monk that Mo Juren possessed had a handsome face and extraordinary temperament, which was completely different from his original old image. When he returned home, the ladies were all shocked when they saw him, and some even dared not recognize him.
"You...you are really my husband? You are not dead?" Second Madam Li asked in a trembling voice, her eyes full of disbelief.
You know, more than a year ago.
My husband's eldest disciple Wu Jianming came back to report the death, saying that my husband had died outside.
After her husband's death, the entire Jingjiao Society fell apart and became the weakest gang in Jiayuan City.
"Who said I'm dead? Just wait and see how I'll deal with that traitor Wu Jianming!"
Mo Juren's eyes became fierce, then he smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Madam, I have now successfully seized another body and become an immortal cultivator. Although my appearance has changed, I am still your husband."
The ladies looked at each other, still hesitant.
Seeing this, Mo Juren slowly walked up to them and said softly, "Jin has a gentle personality. She is the only daughter of Jin Can, the chief escort of the Golden Lion Escort Agency. We have been married for many years. She gave birth to Yuzhu for me, but unfortunately she was murdered later. Yuzhu has grown up now."
Mo Juren looked at his second wife, Li, and said softly, "Li, you are well-educated and come from a wealthy family. Although we don't have any children, you have always been dedicated and worked hard to take care of the household chores. You have a purple scar on your back that looks like a big money coin."
Li nodded, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes: "Husband, it's really you! It's great that you can come back."
Then, Mo Juren looked at his third wife, Mrs. Liu: "You are the biological sister of Liu Feng, the leader of the Changfeng Sect in Quling City. Although we have no children, you have always been my capable assistant. There is a wound on your thigh, which was left when you helped me resist the assassin."
When Liu heard this, her eyes slightly reddened and she whispered, "Husband!"
Mo Juren looked at the fourth wife, Mrs. Yan, with trust in his eyes: "You are my cousin, calm by nature, wise, and a great man. We have a daughter, Caihuan. Before I leave, I will hand over most of the power of the Jingjiao Society to you. You have always been the person I trust the most, and your favorite food is braised pork."
Yan smiled slightly, with a firm tone in her voice: "My husband, it is really you! Don't worry, I will continue to assist you and take good care of the Jing Jiao Society."
Finally, Mo Juren looked at the Fifth Madam Wang, and said with some emotion: "Although you don't like to talk much, you are infatuated with me. You were originally the personal maid of the First Madam Jin. Although you have no children, I secretly gave you a secret power. You are my most reliable helper."
Wang nodded and whispered, "My dear, I have been waiting here for your return."
Mo Juren looked at his adopted daughter Mo Fengwu, his eyes full of love: "Fengwu, you are my adopted daughter, you are very smart. When Dad left, you were only seven years old, and now you have grown into a big girl!"
Mo Fengwu had tears in her eyes and said excitedly: "Dad, Fengwu has always missed you! It's great that you can come back!"
Mo Juren nodded, then looked at his two disciples and said slowly: "Yan Ge, you are my eldest disciple. I have taught you the unique skill of Magic Silver Hand. You were only twelve years old when I left. Now it seems that your martial arts are quite good!"
Yan Ge bowed respectfully and said, "Master, I have been practicing diligently and have never been lazy."
After Mo Juren's explanation, several wives, daughters, and disciples finally believed his identity. Everyone sat together, feeling deeply moved, as if they had returned to the past.
Mo Juren looked at his family and disciples in front of him, his heart filled with relief.
He knew that although he had been reborn, these people were still his closest people. In the future, he would fight with his master Qin Shuang, and these people would become his strongest backing.
When the ladies confirmed Mo Juren's identity, they were all surprised and delighted.
"My dear ladies, my husband is already a cultivator."
Mo Juren opened his mouth slowly and continued, "However, I can achieve what I have today thanks to the support of Master Qin Shuang. Master's cultivation is extremely strong. In order to repay the master's kindness, I decided to marry our three daughters to the master to show my loyalty."
"It's all up to my husband."
Although the ladies were somewhat reluctant, they also knew that this was a great opportunity and nodded in agreement.
Mo Juren then went to Qin Shuang's quiet room and said respectfully, "Master, I have a favor to ask of you."
Qin Shuang opened his eyes and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Mo Juren cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to marry my three daughters, Mo Fengwu, Mo Yuzhu, and Mo Caihuan, to the master to show my loyalty. I hope the master will grant my wish."
Qin Shuang hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, the wedding will be held in half a month."
Mo Juren was overjoyed and immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Master, for your help!"
Qin Shuang waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
After Mo Juren left, Qin Shuang's eyes flashed with a deep light. He knew that conquering Mo Juren's daughter was just the beginning, and there would be more plans waiting for him to complete in the future.
In Jiayuan City, the situation suddenly changed.
Mo Juren stood in the lobby of the Jingjiao Society's headquarters, looking grimly at Wu Jianming who was escorted in.
Wu Jianming came to Jingjiao Club a year ago, claiming to be Mo Juren's disciple. Mo Juren knew that he did not accept Wu Jianming as his disciple, and that this person was an imposter.
When he came back and learned about this, he captured him alive.
