Chapter 103: Liuli

It would have been better if he hadn't said it; once the Holy Emperor opened his mouth and uttered two heaven-defying remarks, Lin Potian's eyes went vacant, and he fell into complete confusion!

The two words "proposing marriage" had completely blocked his heart, causing him to lose all reason; he clenched his fists tightly and roared at the sky: "Why, why!!"

"Chu Liuli, why are you treating me like this!"

At the same time, what Lin Potian could accept even less was that Liuli had chosen to agree to Ji Lushen's proposal only to make Ji Lushen spare his Spirit Body; he immediately fell into deep self-reproach!

But there was really no need; Lin Potian had just made full preparations, and even if he had self-detonated his Spirit Body and discarded the Sharingan of Light, he would at most have been severely injured and blind for a period of time, with no threat to his life at all!

"Could it be that Liuli just wanted to use this as an excuse? It wasn't because of me..."

Lin Potian's eyes grew redder and redder, his mind almost completely blank, and he uncontrollably thought of the worst.

As the saying goes, the person involved is confused while the bystander sees clearly; the Holy Emperor scratched his head and ears, reacted first, and said quickly: "Young Master, there should be a clone of the Young Mistress inside that Warm Fragrant Jade Pendant of yours. Why don't you just call her out and ask her clearly? If you go on like this, it really won't do!"

Once these words fell, it was as if a dreamer had been awakened; Lin Potian's chaotic Qi paused, he forcibly recovered a trace of clarity, and a wisp of Immortal Essence was actively released into the pendant!

But it only shone slightly, with no other phenomena, and subsequently, no matter how Lin Potian urged it, there was not the slightest reaction!

Swish...!

Lin Potian's face turned white all of a sudden, and even grew paler!

The Holy Emperor frowned, stroked his chin, and pondered for a moment before saying: "Young Master, I estimate that the Young Mistress's clone inside this pendant can only appear when it senses you are in a life-or-death crisis, and the sound transmission is also limited; I estimate there are only two or three times a day."

As he spoke, his expression was exceptionally firm, and his persuasiveness was extremely strong!

But in fact, the Holy Emperor knew nothing; he was just bluffing anyway. He thought he would stabilize Lin Potian first; at the very least, he couldn't let him suffer from heartbreak!

Speaking of which, the Holy Emperor sighed inwardly: "Master often says, don't touch emotions, especially the love between men and women; nine out of ten end in tragedy! If I become human in the future, I will definitely only follow my lust and not my heart, only pleasure and no love!"

However, sometimes you plant flowers but they don't bloom, while you plant a willow and it grows into shade; that clone of Liuli was almost driven crazy inside the pendant. She didn't expect the Holy Emperor to be so formidable that he could even see this!

The proposal was real, but there were hidden reasons... that was also real!

But not wanting to come out was also real.

Because she only had one chance to appear; if she walked out of the pendant, then... there would be no "then," and the clone would be gone.

"Husband, do you distrust me this much? Do you really have to force me out to ask for a clear explanation?" Liuli felt extremely bitter in her heart.

"That's right, Holy Emperor, what you said is absolutely correct; this possibility cannot be ruled out!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian's eyes regained a trace of light; it was another case of a dreamer being awakened, or perhaps it was just that as long as there was a chance to see Liuli again and ask for an explanation, he would not miss it!

The next second, Lin Potian actually summoned the Heaven-Slaying and Earth-Destroying Sword, handed it to the Holy Emperor, and growled: "Holy Emperor, if it is truly a life-or-death crisis that allows Liuli to come out, then do me a favor... stab it into my heart!"

"Your control over power is even above mine; it is most appropriate for you to hold the sword!"

As the words fell, the Holy Emperor's Silver Pupils almost popped out of their sockets; what had he just heard?

Clang!

The Heaven-Slaying Undying Sword fell from his hand instantly, and the Holy Emperor gasped in horror: "Young Master, you are truly beyond saving! How did you come up with such a method? If I make a single mistake, you'll be gone!"

Lin Potian shook his head, only stubbornness remaining in his eyes: "I just want to see her one more time and ask for a clear explanation."

"Everything else can be put aside."

After saying this, the Holy Emperor didn't know what else to say, and couldn't help but repeat his master's famous quote in his heart: "Love, even dogs won't touch it!"

Immediately, he took a deep breath to adjust his state, and after ensuring he wouldn't make a mistake, the Holy Emperor sucked the Heaven-Slaying and Earth-Destroying Sword back up and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, close your eyes! My sword... is also very fast!"

"Good."

Lin Potian did not hesitate and chose to close his eyes directly.

The Holy Emperor, although sometimes unreliable, was mostly worth trusting.

"It's coming...!"

The Holy Emperor gave a soft shout and thrust the sword toward Lin Potian's heart!

A life-or-death crisis could not be faked; Lin Potian's hair truly stood on end, and he felt an extreme threat!

Just as the tip of the sword was less than a hair's breadth from Lin Potian's heart, the Warm Fragrant Jade Pendant shone brilliantly, becoming a shield that enveloped Lin Potian!

Subsequently, the equally peerless Liuli clone walked out from within, deflected the Heaven-Slaying Undying Sword that was thrusting toward Lin Potian's heart, turned around, and shouted angrily: "Lin Potian, are you crazy? Do you have no brain? Why are you being so stupid!!"

"I am crazy, I have no brain, I am..."

Lin Potian gave a miserable smile, his body swaying as if about to fall; seeing this, Liuli pulled him into an embrace and sobbed uncontrollably: "Husband, I have my reasons! We have been husband and wife for so many years, don't you trust me?"

The crying made Lin Potian tremble violently; for so many years, he had never seen Liuli shed a tear, let alone cry out loud!

"Liuli, don't cry, it's all my fault, I beg you, please don't cry anymore!"

He hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help Liuli wipe away her tears, filled with panic, and even after saying one word of comfort, he was at a loss for words!

Seeing this, the Holy Emperor tactfully retreated to the distance, leaving enough space for the two of them, while humming a little tune to himself: "Infatuation is not a sin, forgetting love is not being carefree, tell me, why in the end? Is it all my fault?"

"Shut up!"

Liuli turned her head and shouted angrily, almost driven mad by anger; she deeply suspected that this Tower Spirit, the Holy Emperor, had an abnormal neural circuit?

Previously he wanted to cut off her husband's fifth limb and make her lose her happiness, and now not only did he stab her husband with a sword, but he even started singing?

Wasn't the husband his Young Master?

This was simply defying the natural order!

And what kind of ghost lyrics were these; it was truly infuriating!

"Very well, Young Mistress."

The Holy Emperor gave an awkward smile, thought to himself that she was fierce, and retreated sullenly back into the body of the Tongtian Tower, but the tune didn't stop; he hummed the tune, but stopped singing.

Just kidding, since he had finally started singing, if he didn't finish it, it would feel like ants crawling on him!

Lin Potian also had an awkward look on his face, and spoke up to explain for the Holy Emperor: "The Holy Emperor has no bad intentions, he is just a bit different from others, he..."

Liuli didn't want to listen at all; she raised her hand to interrupt him and said straightforwardly: "Husband, I just want to ask you, do you trust me or not?"

Lin Potian nodded, "As long as you explain, then I will trust you."

"Good, then I will tell you. You should know that I returned to the Immortal Domain to find my father, Chu Zhenting, but no matter how I looked, I couldn't find him; I only found out that his last known location was at the Ji Family. But the Ji Family is heavily guarded; unless we go to war and wipe out the Ji Family, it is impossible to infiltrate. I sent out hundreds of spies, and all of them went missing, therefore..."

"I resorted to this desperate measure."

Liuli finished speaking in a leisurely manner, and fearing that Lin Potian would not believe her, she pointed a finger out, preparing to transmit some fragments to him.

Lin Potian tilted his head to dodge, grabbed the hand of Liuli's avatar, and said in a deep voice, "I believe you. Now I have only one question: when is your wedding date?"

Liuli did not think and blurted out, "According to the Immortal Domain calendar, it is in three days."

Lin Potian's heart sank abruptly; three days...

"But one day in the Immortal Domain is one year in the Heavens, so three days is three years," Liuli continued.

As the words fell, Lin Potian's spirit was shaken, and fighting spirit ignited on his face!

Three days is indeed too short, and nothing can be done, but in a period of three years, the universe has yet to be decided!

"Potian, do you want to stop the wedding?" Liuli asked with a slight frown.

"Three years is enough! Liuli, you must believe me!"

Lin Potian's eyes were filled with high fighting spirit; how could his Lady marry someone else?

What does it matter if there are hidden difficulties? As long as one's strength reaches the level of crushing everything, everything else will be vanity!

But Liuli did not think so, because three years was truly too short!

Turning her head to glance at the Tongtian Tower behind her, Liuli sighed and continued, "I am afraid this is unrealistic. Even if you have the Tower Spirit Saint Emperor as a helper, times are different now; he is long past his prime. Even his master is now..."

"Young Madam, what are you saying? My master is invincible under the heavens. If he takes action, the Ji Family will be wiped out with a wave of his hand, and he would even scatter their ashes!"

The Saint Emperor's indignant voice came from the Tongtian Tower; he admitted that he was past his prime.

But to say that his master was not capable was truly a joke!

In the Battle of Immortal Fall a million years ago, if it were not for him, the Saint Emperor, and his master turning the tide, everything would have been buried!

Upon hearing this, Liuli's delicate brows furrowed tightly, but she did not refute it.

Because that Lord was indeed powerful, but was this Tongtian Tower's Tower Spirit obsessed?

That Lord had already fallen for hundreds of thousands of years!

In the past, if one were to call out that Lord's name or Imperial title, regardless of their realm, they would die and their Dao would dissipate, never to enter Reincarnation!

But now, there was no influence at all; even many powerhouses in the Immortal Domain often kept that Lord's name on their lips as a topic of conversation, and nothing happened.

Therefore, the people of the Immortal Domain unanimously believed that that Lord had already fallen.

But everyone wanted to possess that Lord's inheritance and was searching for it, so the current Immortal Domain... was already surging with wind and clouds, and the situation was in complete chaos!

Even the four great Immortal clans—Tian, Chu, Ye, and Ji—could not stay out of it and were all drawn into the fray.

Lin Potian noticed Liuli's anomaly and chose not to speak, instead transmitting his voice: "What is wrong?"

Liuli shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with worry, and transmitted back: "Husband, if you go to the Immortal Domain, it is best to disguise yourself. You must never expose the Tongtian Tower or the Tongtian Token, and even more so, do not expose your Eternal Dao Seed, nor mention the name of the Eternal Lord Xiao Buwen, because Ji Lushen has already released news that you are his successor."

Lin Potian was stunned and blurted out: "Who is Xiao Buwen? I don't even know him, so how could I be his successor?"

Once these words were out, Liuli was even more stunned: "Xiao Buwen is the name of the Eternal Lord! You have the Tongtian Tower, the Tongtian Token, and the Eternal Dao Seed, yet you say you don't know him? You are acting mysterious with me, what are you pretending for!"

"Hiss... so the Forbidden Senior's name is Xiao Buwen!"

With Liuli saying this, Lin Potian understood and could not help but have a sudden realization!

The Eternal Lord was the Forbidden Senior, and his name was—Xiao Buwen!
