Peerless Taoist

The Shangguan Clan was one of the rich and powerful clans in the Darchu Dynasty. Although the Shangguan Clan had been wiped out during the Great Yu Dynasty, some of its branches had escaped and rebuilt the Shangguan Clan in this strange world.    

The mansion, which was five thousand acres large, stood tall in the Darchu Capital. There were tens of thousands of servants and guards in the mansion, and there were even more servants and guards in the mansion. The Shangguan Clan was one of the most powerful clans in the Darchu Dynasty.    

"Wan'er, you are going to get married soon. You should stay in the mansion for the next few days."    

Shangguan Hong, the Clan Chief of the Shangguan Clan, was sitting on a mahogany chair in a luxurious outfit. He was enjoying his tea leisurely.    

At this moment, Shangguan Hong's face did not show any signs of panic when he faced the Prime Minister of the Darchu Dynasty. Instead, he had a calm smile on his face.    

"That's right. Not only is Wan'er the Prime Minister of the Darchu Dynasty, but she is also going to marry the Thirteenth Master of the Eternal Night Sky. When that happens, the Shangguan Clan might be able to leave this place and go to the Eternal Night Sky."    

"I heard that some of the experts of the Eternal Night Sky were the Thirteenth Master's subordinates. Once the Shangguan Clan marries the Thirteenth Master, we will be able to soar into the sky!"    

A few elders of the Shangguan Clan were sitting in the hall. At this moment, all of them were wearing excited smiles on their faces.    

All the experts who had descended from the Eternal Night Sky had announced to the public that they were the relics of the imperial family.    

However, the Shangguan Clan was still a prestigious clan of the Darchu Dynasty, so they naturally knew the secret behind it. They also knew what Yongye Tian meant to them.    

Shangguan Wan'er sat on the right side of Shangguan Hong and was on equal footing with him. However, her calm expression did not reveal any emotion.    

Her pair of beautiful eyes swept across everyone present. Shangguan Wan'er suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.    

She had remembered many of the people present. These people had interacted with her in the past, and they were indeed her relatives.    

However, when she sat in the main hall of the Shangguan Clan, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly felt an unfamiliar feeling.    

She could not feel any warmth from the Shangguan Clan. Instead, she felt more like a guest from another clan. She felt an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity.    

"Cough, cough!"    

Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er did not speak, Shangguan Hong coughed and said, "Wan'er, your marriage is a major event for our Shangguan Clan. We will naturally do our best to make it happen. Don't worry, if our Shangguan Clan wants to marry a daughter, we will naturally do it in the most grand manner!"    

"That's right. Ask the other clans to send their people over, as well as those from the Sacred Grounds and the various herdsmen. All of them will come to attend the ceremony!"    

"There's no need to be overly demanding on the amount of money. Just make it as extravagant as possible. We must give Master Shisan enough face!"    

All the Shangguan Clan elders present nodded their heads.    

They did not care about Shangguan Wan'er's feelings at all. All of their words were directed at the Thirteenth Young Master, Xu Jiangshan.    

Everyone was a smart person, so Shangguan Wan'er naturally knew what they were thinking.    

As the Prime Minister of the Great Chu, Shangguan Wan'er had indeed brought a lot of benefits to the Shangguan Clan. Many of the Shangguan Clan's disciples had even walked out of their homes, and when outsiders heard their names, they would all show them some respect.    

However, these were just the benefits of the secular world.    

They were all cultivators. No matter how many resources they had, what they wanted in the end was still their own cultivation level and cultivation level.    

Even if these people were to become aristocrats, if their strength did not increase, it would just be a reflection of the moon. However, once their overall strength increased, the entire Shangguan Clan would also soar.    

"Wan'er, what do you think about this?"    

After everyone had discussed for a while, Shangguan Hong finally turned his head and asked for Shangguan Wan'er's opinion.    

At this moment, it was not like she was asking, but more like a notification. Shangguan Wan'er suddenly felt extremely irritated in her heart.    

In the past, she had spent most of her time in the Imperial Palace, and rarely returned to the Shangguan Clan. If it was normal, these clan members would still be respectful to her, and their words would also be filled with warmth.    

But now, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly realized that everyone in the Shangguan Clan seemed to have treated her as a bargaining chip, and used her to form a relationship with Xu Jiangshan.    

Of course, Shangguan Wan'er would not be reduced to such a bargaining chip. She stood up and said coldly, "Since you all have made your decision, then let's do it according to your wishes."    

After saying that, Shangguan Wan'er stood up and left, returning to her room to rest.    

Her status was extraordinary, so she naturally did not need to give face to the members of the Shangguan family.    

After Shangguan Wan'er left, the elders of the Shangguan family snorted coldly. "What is this? If it wasn't for our Shangguan family, who knows where she came from? She really thinks she is someone just because she has the Holy Decree!"    

"Be quiet. Don't say this out loud."    

"When she gets married, our Shangguan family will soar. Now, you all have to follow her wishes. You must not disobey her..."    

Although the voices of these people were weak, Shangguan Wan'er still heard them.    

If it was in the past, Shangguan Wan'er would naturally not care about these snobbish people. However, after she saw Lu Yu and heard what he said, many questions naturally appeared in her heart.    

She was originally intelligent, so when she heard these people's words, another possibility immediately appeared in her mind.    

"You're actually not Shangguan Wan'er at all. You're Ji Chenyu, an old friend of mine..."    

Lu Yu's words still echoed in Shangguan Wan'er's mind.    

Although Shangguan Wan'er was not willing to believe it, she also understood that people at Lu Yu's level rarely used lies to deceive others.    

With Lu Yu's personality, if Shangguan Wan'er was really just a stranger, her incarnation would have been destroyed long ago.    

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly felt a little flustered. Her breathing became rapid, and the memories of the past appeared in her mind once again.    

Her father cared for her, her mother was kind, and she was in a miserable state when she was destroyed. Even Shen Linglong's care was so real and so profound.    

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" A few servants asked with concern.    

Shangguan Wan'er said coldly, "I'll go to the study room. You don't have to follow me."    

The Shangguan family's study room was not just a single room. It was a three-story small building, and there were countless books stored here. There were many books.    

This was the first time Shangguan Wan'er visited this place.    

In fact, many of the Shangguan family's disciples did not come here on normal days. After all, most of the books here were ordinary books, not Cultivation Methods.    

No one pointed out the way, but Shangguan Wan'er used her Spiritual Sense to scan every book.    

Soon, she found a dusty book in a pile of books, which recorded a family tree.    

Shangguan Wan'er flipped through the pages of the book and suddenly froze on the spot, not moving at all.    

Sunlight shone on her body, and a long shadow fell behind her, complementing her slender figure.    

On the book, there were a few names.    

Shangguan Jin, died in the war, and was eighty-nine years old.    

Shangguan Yanhai, died in the war, at the age of seventy-one.    

...    

Shangguan Wan'er, died in the war, at the young age of nineteen.
