Hong Yuanhua returned to Mingyue Cave twice and had very different feelings each time.

The last time he came back, he had just been pardoned and had taken refuge with Fang Jian.

At that time, the entire Mingyue Cave, from the ancestor Wuxiang to every close friend and relative, was filled with anger, contempt and even hatred towards him.

But when I came back this time, the situation was very different.

The entire Mingyue Cave was filled with an atmosphere of sadness and confusion. The sadness was because Master Wuxiang had passed away.

Confusion means confusion about the future. With the death of Master Wuxiang, the greatest support of the entire Mingyue Cave has collapsed.

If the other demon palaces had not just experienced a great battle, and the major demon lords were either dead or injured and dared not come out to cause trouble, Mingyue Cave Palace would probably have been swallowed up long ago.

Therefore, the attitude of Mingyue Cave towards Hong Yuanhua at this time can be said to have undergone a major change compared to the last time.

Hong Yuanhua was reported all the way from the mountain gate of Mingyue Demon Mansion to the front of the cave. Lan Shaojun, who was gathered in Mingyue Cave Mansion to see off Master Wuxiang, stood up immediately after hearing the report.

The other demon cultivators who had cursed and accused Hong Yuanhua looked at each other, then lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Jun'er." Yu Ji, who was dressed in white and extremely pretty and beautiful, sat at the top and called out to Lan Shaojun.

Lan Shaojun stepped forward and bowed, "Grandmother."

Yu Ji said to him, "Fellow Daoist Hong is now the Patrol General of the Mountain God's Mansion. Since he has come today, he is definitely not here to cause trouble for Mingyue Cave Mansion. You should go and welcome him."

This is exactly what Lan Shaojun thought, and his respect for Yu Ji is precisely because of her wisdom.

"Yes, I will obey the orders of my grandmother." Lan Shaojun bowed and responded, then walked out of Mingyue Cave.

After Lan Shaojun left, Yu Ji sat down again. Now Mingyue Cave Mansion was leaderless. If Lan Shaojun did not stand on her side, she would not be able to stand firm anyway.

Yu Ji was not very interested in controlling the Mingyue Cave Mansion, but she believed that since she had married Master Wuxiang, she had to work hard to maintain the Mingyue Cave Demon Mansion and prevent it from falling apart after his death.

Lan Shaojun is capable of leading the Mingyue Cave Demon Mansion, but his foundation is still unstable because only 60% of the people in the entire Mingyue Cave Mansion support him, and the other 40% support the third prince Yinda.

It’s all because Master Wuxiang died too quickly. If Lan Shaojun had forcibly taken control of Mingyue Cave, the tribe would have inevitably split into two.

Although Yu Ji is also in the Yangshen realm, she used to be the beloved concubine of King Chongshou, and the beloved whom King Chongshou cultivated with all his heart. The immortal arts and methods she mastered are enough to suppress ordinary Yangshen realm cultivators.

So now Yu Ji took the initiative to step forward, in the name of Master Wuxiang's wife, to stabilize the Mingyue Cave Demon Mansion, where people's hearts are currently in turmoil. After Lan Shaojun grows up and has enough prestige, she will hand over the Mingyue Cave Demon Mansion to him.

At that time, Yu Ji wanted to find a quiet temple, read scriptures every day, and take care of flowers and plants. She didn't seek to become an immortal, but just wanted to live the rest of her life in peace.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps and conversations came from outside. Everyone looked up at the moon gate of the cave and saw Hong Yuanhua and Lan Shaojun walking in side by side.

Yu Ji stood up immediately, and the Yangshen and Yuanying demon cultivators below also stood up.

"The arrival of the Patrol General has brought honor to my humble residence. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me, General." Yu Ji led a group of demon cultivators from Mingyue Cave to pay their respects to Hong Yuanhua.

Before coming in, Hong Yuanhua had received a brief introduction from Lan Shaojun. After knowing that this young grandmother was willing to stand up and rally people's hearts, Hong Yuanhua also put away his contempt.

Moreover, Mingyue Cave Mansion has little to do with him now. He is now a seventh-rank immortal official in the Heavenly Court.

"You are too kind, fellow Daoist." Hong Yuanhua quickly returned the greeting to Yu Ji. Now he could only call her fellow Daoist.

Then, Hong Yuanhua looked at Lan Shaojun, then at Yu Ji and said, "I want to...I want to pay my respects to Master Wuxiang. Is that convenient?"

Yu Ji's face flushed slightly, her eyes filled with emotion. "It is perfectly legitimate for the Patrol General to pay tribute to my husband. There is nothing wrong with that."

Afterwards, Yu Ji moved aside to make way for the altar of Master Wuxiang.

Hong Yuanhua first walked to the side and took off the immortal official robe he was wearing, then changed into casual clothes and walked to the altar. After he stared at the tablet of Master Wuxiang quietly for a moment, he knelt down with a "thump" and kowtowed three times with "dong", "dong", and "dong".

After he finished bowing his head for the last time, he prostrated himself on the ground and did not stand up for a long time.

After a cup of tea, Lan Shaojun came forward and helped him up.

After Hong Yuanhua stood up, he came to Yu Ji and bowed to her, and Yu Ji also bowed in return.

Hong Yuanhua then said, "I came here this time on the orders of the Mountain Lord."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji and Lan Shaojun exchanged a glance. Yu Ji then said solemnly, "What are your instructions, Mr. Shan?"

Hong Yuanhua said, "It's like this. A distinguished guest has come to the Mountain God Temple, but the Mountain God has no spiritual tea to entertain him, so he sent me here to borrow a box of spiritual tea from your house. I will definitely return it later."

Yu Ji was indeed smart enough. The moment she heard this sentence, she understood that the mountain god had let Mingyue Cave go.

Borrowing the tea might be a real opportunity, but there is no doubt that he was also taking this opportunity to convey a message to calm the hearts of the monsters in Mingyue Cave. It must be said that this was a good idea.

"That's not difficult," Yu Ji said immediately. "How can the Mountain Lord borrow it? Since the Mountain Lord took office, our Mingyue Cave Mansion has never formally paid him a visit. Consider this a gift to the Mountain Lord. In a few days, we will go to Yuquan Peak to pay our respects to the Mountain Lord in person."
