"Who is Madam taking me to see?" Søren asked.
Ashita Liren said, "You'll know when you see him."
"But …" Søren said.
"No buts," Ashita Liren said coldly, "If you want to defeat Aslo, you'll have to do it my way."
Then, Ashita Liren brought Søren out of the mansion through the back door.
Then, they boarded a carriage in a small alley. It was heading out of Rouran City.
After leaving Rouran City, they arrived at the foot of a mountain.
Ashita Liren and Søren alighted from the carriage and walked up the mountain.
This was just an ordinary mountain. It was not famous at all. What kind of amazing person would live in this mountain?
After entering the mountain and walking for more than ten kilometers, they arrived at a valley.
The entrance to the valley was very dangerous. There were steep and terrifying cliffs on both sides. They were at least a hundred meters tall, and the entrance could only fit one or two people.
It was as if one man could hold the pass against ten thousand enemies.
Moreover, the entire valley did not seem to be naturally formed. It was as if it had been split open by a god's sword.
"Is this also the legendary Dragon Emperor who split it open with his sword?" Søren asked.
Ashita Liren ignored her and continued walking forward coldly.
Ever since she found out about Søren's identity, her attitude instantly became much colder. She did not have a good impression of Søren at all.
After passing through the long cliff pass, they entered the valley.
The valley was not big. There was a lake, and a small castle was built on the side of the lake.
Ashita Liren brought Søren outside the castle and said to a warrior guarding the gate, "Please go in and report to Father that I'm here to see him."
Søren was stunned. The person who lived here was Rouran City's Lord, Asmo?
…
As for Asmo, Sauron was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
Speaking of which, the two families were very close. Because Count Sauron had led troops to rescue Rouran City, the two of them became in-laws, and Suo Ningbing married Aslo.
But soon, the Ashe Family's territory expanded by several times through their conquest, and they instantly became the number one feudal lord of the Raging Wave Kingdom. Not only that, but he also paid lip service to the Nu Lang Royal Family and became the most independent feudal vassal. He almost didn't put the royal family in his eyes.
Moreover, Asimo's son and daughter had both climbed up the social ladder.
One became a disciple of King Dongli, while the other became a direct descendant of the Elf Continent.
As for the Suo Clan of Tianshui City, because of the framing of Count Sauron, they suddenly fell into a slump. They almost couldn't even keep their territory, and were like stray dogs. Coupled with the separation of Suo Ningbing and Aslo, the relationship between the two families instantly cooled down.
To be honest, the Suo Clan of Tianshui City had to look up to the Ashe Clan.
In other words, all the feudal vassals and nobles of the Raging Wave Kingdom, except for the royal family, had to look up to the Ashe Clan.
Even the royal family, whether it was Zhi Li or Jung Yeon, they all had to look up to the Ashe Clan.
And all of this glory was created by Asimo alone.
A few decades ago, the Ashe Clan was at best a noble governor of the Yelan Principality.
Therefore, there was no doubt that Asimo was a hero, a hero whose name resounded throughout the Raging Wave Kingdom, and even the human kingdom.
The people of Rouran City had not seen him for many years. Even the people of Rouran City had not seen him for many years.
Although Rouran City was still powerful, and the civil officials still managed this thousand-mile territory in an orderly manner, and it was thriving. The generals led hundreds of thousands of troops, and they were famous for their military prowess.
But Asimo had indeed disappeared from the eyes of the world for a long time, perhaps nearly ten years.
Who would have thought that he would not live in the City Lord's Mansion, but on this remote mountain?
…
The gatekeeper entered to report to Asimo.
A moment later, the gatekeeper came out and said, "Miss, please wait for a moment. Master is currently discussing the Dao with Mister Zuo."
A trace of worry flashed across Ashita Liren's beautiful eyes, but she stood outside and waited.
And from this simple sentence, Søren could hear many hidden meanings.
Governor Asimo was discussing the Dao with Mister Zuo?
Could it be that Asimo was like the ancient heroes of China, who had temporarily lost their goals after establishing a great cause and pursued immortality?
And this Mister Zuo was a charlatan?
After waiting outside for more than an hour, a servant came out and reported, "Master invites Miss in."
Ashita Liren frowned slightly, then walked in, and Søren followed closely behind.
After entering the castle, Søren was even more certain of his guess. This was because there was no luxury in the castle, nor was there any solemnity. Instead, it gave off a sage-like vibe.
However, there was no Taoism in this world.
In short, everything in this castle was as natural as possible.
Natural tree roots, natural tree branches, natural stone slabs, natural jade stones.
There was no silk, wool, or carpet. In short, there was nothing that was processed.
"Liren, come, come. See if your father's Dao cultivation has improved again." From afar, Søren could hear Asimo's voice.
But from the sound of his voice, there was really no sickness. Instead, it was full of energy and high spirits.
After a few turns in the castle, they finally arrived at the central hall. There was actually a natural river here?
Or rather, when the castle was built, a river was drawn through the castle?
"Please take off your shoes and socks, cross the river, and wash away the dirt of the world," the two youths who looked like Daoists said.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Ashita Liren's beautiful eyes, but she still took off her shoes and socks, revealing her crystal-clear jade feet, and then stepped into the river.
The moment she stepped into the water …
Crack … Instantly, the water stopped, and the area around her feet froze.
The two youths were completely stunned.
Søren also took off his shoes and socks, stepped into the water, and immediately shivered from the cold.
It was already spring. Rouran City was located in the southwest, and the weather was hot. At this moment, the temperature where Søren stepped into the water was close to zero degrees Celsius.
It seemed that wherever Ashita Liren walked, every step turned into ice.
After crossing more than ten meters of the river, he walked barefoot onto the jade ground and entered the central hall of the castle. Søren finally saw the Rouran City Lord, Asimo.
However, the moment he saw him, Søren was really shocked.
This, this is Asimo?
Asimo was older than Count Sauron by more than ten years, and was already in his sixties.
However, at this moment, he looked at most forty years old.
Not only that, but his complexion was as smooth as jade, and he looked more like an elder brother than Aslo's father.
Not only did his skin not have any wrinkles, but it was even smoother than a woman's.
The most exaggerated thing was that his hair, which was originally blonde, was now completely black, and glossy.
He wore a hemp robe, and his hair was disheveled, making him look like an immortal.
He was a super handsome middle-aged man!
Could it be that he had really succeeded in seeking immortality?
On the other hand, this Mr. Zuo beside him had wrinkled skin and white hair. He was as thin as a stick, and did not have any charm to speak of.
"Liren, come and greet Mr. Zuo." Asimo held his daughter's hand affectionately, and pointed at the thin old man.
Mr. Zuo stood up and bowed to Ashita Liren meticulously. "Alchemist Zuo Qiu greets Miss Ashita Liren."
Ashita Liren's gaze was cold, and she ignored him.
In her opinion, it was all thanks to Zuo Qiu that her father ignored politics and focused on seeking Dao.
In fact, if not for her father's neglect of politics, her younger brother Aslo would not be so lawless.
"Liren, Mr. Zuo is an otherworldly master, how can you be so unreasonable?" Asimo said unhappily.
"It's fine, it's fine …" Zuo Qiu said, "I'm just an immortal prisoner."
Asimo said, "Liren, do you know how old Mr. Zuo Qiu is now?"
"I don't know," Ashita Liren said coldly.
"800 years old, a full 800 years old," Asimo said. "He's a true otherworldly master, the founder of Daoism, and I can be considered his first disciple."
Zuo Qiu immediately bowed. "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Mr. Asimo and I are friends, not master and disciple."
At this moment, Søren was about to burst out laughing. He had seen this trick countless times on Earth. A random swindler claiming to be 800 years old, and seducing powerful people to seek immortality.
However, it seemed that Zuo Qiu was indeed capable. Asimo was clearly in his sixties, but he looked to be in his forties at most.
Asimo said, "What do you think of my castle ruins? It's completely natural. Do you know why I built it here? It's because it was created by His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's sword. Remnants of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's Immortal Qi remain here. The entire castle was built according to Mr. Zuo Qiu's design. I cultivate here every day, breathing in His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's Immortal Qi, and I feel like I'm getting twice the result with half the effort every day. "
Ashita Liren heard her father talking about Immortal Qi and becoming an immortal, and she felt sad. She asked Zuo Qiu coldly, "My son often asks a question, I'll also ask Mr. Zuo Qiu."
That swindler Zuo Qiu bowed. "Miss, please ask."
Ashita Liren said, "May I ask if His Majesty the Dragon Emperor is still alive?"
Zuo Qiu said, "Of course he is."
Ashita Liren said, "Then may I ask where he is?"
Zuo Qiu said, "Of course he has ascended to become an immortal and entered the world of immortals."
Ashita Liren said, "You mean, there's another world in this world?"
Zuo Qiu said, "Of course, it's the Pure Land of Bliss. Once one ascends to become an immortal, there will be no more worries, immortality, and no sorrow. "
Ashita Liren said, "In my opinion, it's no different from death."
"Liren, what nonsense are you talking about?" Asimo said angrily, "Are you cursing your father?"
Ashita Liren did not apologize and just stood there coldly.
Seeing his daughter's cold and stubborn look, Asimo said helplessly, "Why did you come to see your father? Every day is precious to me. If there's nothing important, don't disturb my cultivation. "
Ashita Liren said, "Mr. Zuo, I'm discussing family matters with my father. Are you going to disturb us?"
Zuo Qiu was not angry and immediately bowed. "This old man will take his leave."
Then, he left.
Søren asked in his mind, "Eros, can you sense the aura of this person? Was he sent by Aslo to bewitch Asimo? Is he someone from the Elf Continent? "
Eros said, "I don't know, I can't sense it at all."
…
After Zuo Qiu left, Asimo said unhappily, "If you have something to say, then quickly say it and leave. Don't disturb my cultivation."
Hearing her father talk about cultivation, Ashita Liren immediately said angrily, "Father, are you going to abandon Rouran City for this so-called cultivation? This is a territory that you've fought so hard to conquer. "
Asimo said, "They're just worldly possessions."
Ashita Liren said, "What about your wife and children? Are they just worldly possessions? How long has it been since you last saw your mother? Three years? Five years? How long has it been since you last saw me? How long has it been since you last saw your grandson, Asimo Yuanba? "
Søren finally understood why Aslo could be so lawless. Because the Rouran City Lord, Asimo, lived in seclusion and did not care about politics at all. And among the civil and military officials of Rouran City, which one of them would dare to interfere with their future ruler?
In fact, even the royal family was currying favor with the Asimo family.
Therefore, within the Raging Wave Kingdom, even if Aslo pierced the heavens, no one would dare to interfere.
Asimo frowned. "Aren't you all doing well?"
Ashita Liren said, "Aslo is lawless. One day, he'll destroy the Asimo family's foundation."
Asimo said, "That won't happen. He's so smart. Besides, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Rouran City is destined to be handed over to him in the future. What he wants to do is his own business. "
Søren could not believe his ears at this.
Was this still the mighty ruler who had expanded his territory for thousands of miles? Was this still the unparalleled hero who had snatched thousands of miles of territory from the Yelan Principality?
Was the so-called pursuit of immortality that alluring? Could it make one abandon everything?
Ashita Liren said coldly, "Fine, you don't care if Rouran City is destroyed in his hands. Then, you don't care if he wants to rape me? "
Asimo's expression changed. "That can't be. Little Luo has been so close to you since young. He even went to the Elf Continent of his own accord for you. How could he be so beastly?"
Ashita Liren said, "The Aslo you know is the Aslo from more than ten years ago. He has already wanted to ravage me time and time again, even harming my children. In order to achieve his goal, he even kidnapped Mister Yan Ziyu and fed him a strong aphrodisiac. Then, he locked your concubine, Tao Su, in a secret room as well. He made Mister Yan Ziyu lose his mind and raped Tao Su. Then, he used this to threaten Mister Yan to poison me. It's a poison from the Elf Continent that weakens my martial arts and has an aphrodisiac effect. "
As soon as this was said, Sauron's expression changed drastically.
Ah Shili had actually told him about his relationship with Tao Su. This was equivalent to letting Ah Shimo know that he had been cuckolded. Wouldn't he kill him with one palm?
Asimo instantly gazed at Sauron and said, "You're Yan Ziyu? I remember you. You were Aslo's teacher. "
Søren bowed. "Yes, City Lord. I am Yan Ziyu."
"You were really forced to sleep with my concubine, Tao Su?" Asimo asked.
Søren nodded. "Yes."
"Oh." Asimo said.
He was not angry at all. He had no intention of killing Søren. In fact, he didn't even care.
His concubine had been slept with, but he didn't care at all.
Søren was completely dumbfounded. He was a cultivator who didn't care about anything. He didn't even care about being cuckolded.
Asimo closed his eyes for a long time before opening them. "I still don't believe it. Lil 'Luo was such a clever child. How did he become such a beast?"
Ashita Liren said coldly, "Fine, I'll give you proof in half a month. I'll let you see with your own eyes how Aslo is going to rape me. What if Aslo really is such a beast? "
Asimo's gaze sharpened. "Then he doesn't deserve to be a human. I'll abolish his position as a prince, cripple his limbs, and imprison him in the dungeon for the rest of his life."
"Deal." Ashita Liren said.
"It's a deal," Asimo said.
It turned out that Ashita Liren was going to use the simplest and most direct method. She would beat him at his own game. She would lure Aslo to violate her so that her father Asimo could see clearly. Then, she would use the opportunity to abolish Aslo.
"When the time comes, I'll let you see everything." Ashita Liren said.
"Okay, I'll definitely be there." Asimo's gaze was cold. "This is the first time I've left my place of cultivation. If that's the case, then this unfilial son deserves to die!"
An hour later!
Ashita Liren brought Søren out of the Dragon Emperor ruins and returned to Rouran City!
…
After daybreak!
A few people knocked on the door of Ashita Liren's residence.
"Who are you looking for?" A female warrior asked.
"Fu Yuan." The person outside said.
The female warrior said, "We don't have such a person in our residence."
The person outside said, "Or rather, her name is Fu Yan 'er. We were sent by the Lord of Sky Water City, Earl Sauron, to bring them home. "
The female warrior said, "Wait a moment!"
Then, the female warrior walked to Fu Yan 'er's room and said, "Fu Yuan, someone is looking for you at the door. I'll report to Master."
Fu Yan 'er was taken aback. Then, she walked to the entrance of the residence and immediately saw a group of cavalry outside. There was also a gorgeous carriage with the flag of Tianshui City fluttering on it. She immediately said excitedly, "Are you soldiers of Tianshui City? Are you here to bring us home? "
"Yes, Madam." The leader of the warriors said, "After receiving your messenger hawk, Master immediately sent our cavalry in Tianye City to bring you back."
Fu Yan 'er said in ecstasy, "Wait a moment, I'll go get my daughter."
Then, as she ran inside, she shouted happily, "Baby, baby, we're going home. Your daddy is coming to bring us home."
However, no message had reached Tianshui City, and Søren had not sent any cavalry to pick up Fu Yan 'er and her daughter.
