Chapter 391: In This Life, I

Eighteen years ago, the Purple Star Emperor Sect learned that Yang Zu had successfully reincarnated and began to search vigorously.

Their search eventually found and confirmed that it was Lin Yangyang.

However, over all these years they have silently protected her, without disturbing her.

The old members of the Purple Star Emperor Sect also hope that Yang Zu can enjoy more time in the guise of a mortal girl.

Yang Zu is likewise tacit, having no intention of returning to the sect.

The old members of the Purple Star Emperor Sect are delighted by this.

After all, Yang Zu has returned—truly a return of an ancestor; after being the senior ancestor for tens of thousands of years, no one wants to experience being a grandson again.

Result...

This guy!

Can't see straight!

Chang Haoge grew angrier as he thought, and smacked several sharp slaps onto the faces of the Five Attendants.

The Five Attendants, whose cultivation had been completely sealed, had no room to resist; they were struck so hard their eyes flashed stars, each slap plain and unadorned, hitting straight into the depths of their souls.

"You like making me a grandson, don't you?"

"I'll beat you to death."

Brother Chang's blows grew heavier, rendering the Five Attendants unconscious; seeing their souls plunge into Darkness, Chang Haoge poured a bottle of spirit elixir into them, and the Five Attendants revived.

And then they continued to take the beating.

"Sect… Sect Founder, please have mercy."

The Five Attendants' eyes held only fear: "I, your junior, acknowledge my mistake; from now on I shall never act recklessly again."

In this moment, he deeply felt the Purple Star Emperor Sect's tradition of protecting its calves.

If one asks which force the Cloud Kingdom fears most,

it must be the Purple Star Emperor Sect, long seated as the strongest super power.

As the foremost Daoist sect of the Three Teachings, the Purple Star Emperor Sect's foundation is too rich, incomparable to the Cloud Kingdom.

Before the Cloud Kingdom was even born, the Purple Star Emperor Sect was already one of the strongest forces in heaven and earth; with Chang Haoge here, even the Cloud Emperor dares not act presumptuously.

Otherwise the Cloud Emperor would have already spoken out on his behalf.

"Alas, it has come to this point; destiny dictates that we must win the ancestor back home."

Originally he could have waited a few more years to be a grandson, but after the Cloud Kingdom's meddling, Chang Haoge knows it is destined that Yang Zu will return.

"Fine."

"In Yang Zu's previous life, bound by the limits of heaven and earth, he could not ascend to Immortality; in this life, he will surely achieve brilliance."

"Perhaps he can eradicate the Black Mist in one stroke."

Chang Haoge thought to himself, slapping the Five Attendants away with a single palm, returning to the sky above the Heavenly Cloud Academy, yet he did not appear.

He only sent a voice: "Yang Zu, the matter is resolved; do you wish to return to the sect?"

"After a while, I will join the sect in the name of a disciple."

"I, your junior, obey." Chang Haoge laughed.

"Remember, unless absolutely necessary, do not reveal my identity in front of junior brother Lin Chuan, understand?" Lin Yangyang reminded.

"I, your junior, understand."

Chang Haoge answered, feeling a sigh inside.

"This kid truly got a good womb, ending up as Yang Zu's sibling in this life, a dragon‑phoenix twin, with boundless prospects."

"However, this kid's talent is also decent; if he joins the Purple Star Emperor Sect and receives some cultivation, he might one day become a great Wangxian."

"That's not right."

While pondering, Brother Chang felt something amiss: "This kid is the direct younger brother of the great‑great‑great Grandmaster's mother, isn't that my…"

"Forget it."

"Better not think about letting this kid join the sect."

Chang Haoge left.

In the Heavenly Cloud Academy, the commotion passed just like that.

Lin Chuan and Lin Yangyang stared at each other with wide eyes, blinking repeatedly, unsure what to say.

"Chuan'er, are you alright?"

Lin Yangyang said, "Not to hide it from you, I actually joined a super power long ago—the most renowned super power in heaven and earth, the Purple Star Emperor Sect!"

"The earlier move was the might of the Purple Star Emperor Sect."

"So you needn't worry; I'll settle father and mother's matters, nothing will go wrong."

Looking at the still‑unaware Lin Chuan, Lin Yangyang sighed.

It involuntarily recalled memories of the previous life.

In that life, he met Xue Mo Chuan; the two were both foe and friend. She saw a shining purple star in Xue Mo Chuan's karmic destiny, realizing he was an extraordinary person.

People generally thought Xue Mo Chuan a great demon, but she did not think so.

Xue Mo Chuan accomplished many deeds that renowned righteous sects could not, being a flesh‑and‑blood person, which further solidified her resolve to help him.

At the crucial moment, she helped Xue Mo Chuan step into the Wangxian Realm, becoming the first Wangxian in heaven and earth, and also the most fleeting Wangxian,

and his trace was erased by the Heavenly Dao; in the end he returned the Dao fruit to her.

Thus the title of 'first' ultimately fell upon her.

When the Heavenly Dao sought to completely erase Xue Mo Chuan's True Spirit, she made a Heavenly Dao Great Vow, guarding heaven and earth for one hundred thousand years, exchanging a sliver of life for Xue Mo Chuan.

In the end she sent Xue Mo Chuan's True Spirit into the Boundless Chaos Universe.

But she has a strong premonition that he will definitely return.

Now, I'm truly back.

It's no longer Xue Mo Chuan, but her younger brother Lin Chuan, also confirming the promise she made at the final farewell.

"You're back."

"In this life, I will no longer let you bear that bloodshed and heaviness."

"With your fortune, I now have an innate perfect Dao fetus, surely I can ascend to the Immortal Realm; in the future, with me there, you will no longer need to face suffering."

Lin Yangyang does not dare to voice these words.

If possible, she wishes Lin Chuan never to recall the past.

She has taken over Lin Chuan's fortune, forming a karmic bond, and has prepared everything.

"In this life, I will end all suffering."

"I will no longer let you endure it."

Lin Yangyang can sense that the presence of Black Mist is faintly linked to Lin Chuan's previous reincarnation; she will handle the resulting evil.

"Chuan'er, what are your plans from now on?"

According to Lin Yangyang's plan, naturally she will bring Chuan'er back to the Purple Star Emperor Sect, which is safer and can provide a good cultivation environment for him.

The cultivation holy site of the Purple Star Emperor Sect is not comparable to the modest Heavenly Cloud Academy of the Cloud Kingdom.

"Nothing in particular."

Lin Chuan shook his head.

Seeing his sister's gaze, it seems the memories of the previous life have awakened.

But Lin Chuan neither exposed it nor intended to tell his sister about his affairs.

The suffering of this life will be shouldered by him alone.

He even hopes his sister becomes a bit weaker; otherwise, given her temperament, she could never watch him face Black Mist alone.

"If you have no plan, just stay here and cultivate," Lin Yangyang said with a smile.

"Fine."

This time, Lin Chuan does not intend to follow his sister to the Purple Star Emperor Sect, planning to find the wives earlier.

Suffering must be borne, and the wives are also indispensable.

While the two were thinking, Yun Zhi Yi rushed from the courtyard gate, eyes blazing with excitement, "A Chuan, sister, I have good news for you both."

"My father has returned."

"He also said we should pick an auspicious day soon to arrange our marriage, lest the royal family keep worrying about it."
