Chapter 98

My Great Dao Sect need not trouble you. Half of the Nan Huang history bears the shadow of my Great Dao Sect; how could my Great Dao Sect be something you can casually discuss?

Upon hearing that, the grey-robed emperor of the Heavenly Net Palace gave a soft rebuke and said nothing.

Many major powers couldn't help but feel moved; what Mu Lao said was not false—the Great Dao Sect has endured through the long river of time in Nan Huang, naturally its foundation is immeasurably deep; how could it be lightly dismissed?

The emperor of the Fragrant Elixir Sect saw the atmosphere stagnate, gave a faint smile, "Everyone, why don't we rest a bit first, then come to unravel the secret of the Dao Resonance in this Bronze Ancient Hall."

The emperor of the Medicine Clan clapped his hands and said, "Exactly what I had in mind; this is perfect!"

Soon, everyone left, tacitly understanding each other.

Beneath Mu Lao's feet, a divine rainbow sprang up, shooting swiftly toward Ye Chen and the others.

Ye Chen was sitting cross-legged in cultivation, a faint divine radiance flowing over his body, an incomparably profound qi mechanism continuously spreading outward, making him look ethereal and unworldly.

Mu Lao called softly, "Ye Chen."

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and respectfully said, "Mu Lao."

Mu Lao slowly opened his mouth, a hint of gravity appearing on his face, "Ye Chen, you must have heard about the matter concerning Fu Yao."

Ye Chen nodded, "I never expected the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to betray us."

Mu Lao said with a deep gaze, "The person behind Fu Yao has taken action, which is why Fu Yao managed to escape unharmed."

Ye Chen remained silent.

He knew, it should have been his master Lu Xuan who finally took action.

Damn the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and the Heavenly Net Palace!

He clenched his fists, hating that his strength was too weak to be of any help.

How hateful!

Mu Lao said in a low voice, "Actually, Ancestor Cangxuan had long noticed the clues on Fu Yao's body, suspecting she had origins with the Fu Yao dynasty."

Ye Chen frowned slightly.

The secret of Senior Sister's reincarnation and cultivation renewal, once exposed by the Heavenly Net Palace, would surely cause a sensation in Nan Huang and stir up a great commotion.

Although the Great Dao Sect is indeed a hegemon-level power in Nan Huang, if many hegemon-level powers were to besiege it, it would probably not be able to withstand.

However, there's no need to worry, as long as the master is here…

What about a Nine-Star Emperor then?

With a flick of the master's finger, the Nine-Star Emperor turned to ashes and vanished!

I've heard that the Blood Severity Emperor intends to personally go to the Great Dao Sect; it seems the Heavenly Net Palace temporarily won't share this supreme secret, wanting to keep it all for itself.

Mu Lao smiled and patted Ye Chen's shoulder, "Ye Chen, rest easy. Ancestor Cangxuan asked me to pass along a message—you needn't bear any mental pressure. It's merely being watched by the Heavenly Net Palace! Our Great Dao Sect will never abandon any disciple, no matter who the enemy is!"

The voice fell!

Ye Chen's body trembled slightly, a warm current rose in his heart, and he looked toward Mu Lao, "Thank you, Mu Lao."

Mu Lao nodded, "Rest assured. Even among hegemon-level powers, there are unwritten rules; the grudges of the younger generation are generally not interfered with by the older generation.

Whether it's the Heavenly Net Palace, or the ancient Qin clan, or the Supreme Profound Sect, if they dare to bully the small with the big and oppress with power, our Great Dao Sect will certainly not let it go unpunished!

Ye Chen nodded.

At this moment.

The master of the Body Tempering Peak asked, "Mu Lao, how many more days until that ancient inheritance secret realm can be opened?"

Mu Lao pondered for a moment, "We still need a few days. Once we extract that strand of Dao Resonance from the Bronze Ancient Hall, we can open this secret realm."

As he spoke, Mu Lao turned his head toward Ye Chen, "Oh, right, Ye Chen, this ancient secret realm is the inheritance of the Martial Dao Emperor; it will be of great use to you."

Ye Chen said, "Alright, Mu Lao, I will certainly give it my all to obtain the Martial Dao Emperor's inheritance."

Shortly after.

Liu Xuan floated over in a purple robe, her long jade-like legs walking toward Ye Chen.

And behind her, Luo Lingkong, Fang Yan, and the other top-tier true transmission disciples rose to their feet and came to Ye Chen's side.

Liu Xuan gave a charming smile, like a hundred charms, "Ye Chen junior brother, you needn't worry about Junior Sister Fu Yao. She has already returned to the sect and is safe."

Ye Chen nodded, feeling a warmth in his heart, "Thank you, senior brother, senior sister."

Fang Yan patted Ye Chen's shoulder, "Ye Chen junior brother, upon entering this inheritance secret realm you will surely be targeted; at that time, stay with us. Otherwise we worry that the Heavenly Net Palace or the Supreme Profound Sect might strike at you."

Ye Chen said, "Good."

…

Supreme Profound Sect

Supreme Peak

Qin Xiao set up countless seals and restrictions in his cave dwelling, embracing Nangong Bailue as he kissed her cheek.

Nangong Bailue wore a simple, elegant long dress, her face flushed with shyness, and she kissed Qin Xiao's lips.

Qin Xiao's hand continually roved over Nangong Bailue's body.

Nangong Bailue let out a soft, alluring moan.

"Qin Xiao, be gentler……"

"My husband……"

Soon, Qin Xiao tore apart Nangong Bailue's clothing.

The tempting, alluring scenery made Qin Xiao's heart and mind sway.

Not long after.

Nangong Bailue slowly rose, a seductive smile on her face, and said, "My husband, it's my turn now."

After a dozen breaths.

Qin Xiao panted as he collapsed onto the purple wu wood bed, utterly exhausted.

Nangong Bailue lay beside Qin Xiao, a hint of resentment appearing in her eyes, "I never expected that the trash Ye Chen would actually be a remnant of the Fu Yao dynasty!"

Qin Xiao gave a faint nod, "Lu Xuan that trash actually took on two disciples, and they're both from the Fuyao Dynasty!"

Nangong Bai Xue's undulating peaks, flames igniting in her eyes, "If only three thousand years ago the Heavenly Net Hall had completely wiped out the Fuyao Dynasty! Then today, there wouldn't even be Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen!"

Qin Xiao gently caressed Nangong Bai Xue's face, saying, "Not bad. If that's the case, your past, present, and future all belong to me."

Nangong Bai Xue's jade hand lightly traced Qin Xiao's chest, "I often feel that because I'm engaged to that trash Ye Chen, I feel a taint."

Qin Xiao tightly grasped Nangong Bai Xue's hand, "No, you don't. You're as pure as white snow, you are a Yin Primordial Body, you are flawless!"

Nangong Bai Xue smiled, "Husband, could you secretly contact the Heavenly Net Hall's people to eliminate that trash Ye Chen? Surely the Heavenly Net Hall now hates the Grand Dao Sect to death!"

Qin Xiao snorted, "I am the heir of the ancient Qin clan and also the future divine son of the Supreme Profound Sect—why need the Heavenly Net Hall to act? This time I will also enter the secret realm; my sole goal is to kill Ye Chen and take his head!"

A gleam flashed in Nangong Bai Xue's eyes as she asked, "Husband, you must be careful of Ye Chen. Although he is absolutely no match for you, this person is extremely cunning and ruthless. The next time you encounter Ye Chen, you must absolutely not lower your cultivation to fight him!"

Qin Xiao gave a cold snort, "Rest assured, Bai Xue, I'll pinch Ye Chen to death like crushing an ant. Then I'll cut off his head and place it in my cave abode."

Nangong Bai Xue blinked slightly, "Husband, why? I certainly don't want to see that trash Ye Chen either; he makes me feel nauseous!"

Qin Xiao revealed a faint evil smile, "I want your skull to watch us……"

Saying that, Qin Xiao lunged at Nangong Bai Xue again.

He felt he could do it again.

Nangong Bai Xue feigned a shocked expression, "Husband, you can do it again?"

Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes! Am I fierce?"

Nangong Bai Xue stammered, "Fierce!"

……

Grand Dao Sect.

The Sect Leader stepped into a concealed place.

The Azure Profound Ancestor sat upon a long river, leisurely fishing for spirit fish.

The Sect Leader approached the Azure Profound Ancestor, respectfully asking, "Ancestor, have you seen that powerful one?"

The Azure Profound Ancestor nodded, recounting to the Sect Leader what had happened in Lu Xuan's cave abode.

The Sect Leader frowned, asking, "Is that powerful one still unwilling to show himself?"

The Azure Profound Ancestor's gaze was deep, he slowly said, "Perhaps his identity involves some secrets; since it's inconvenient to appear, that's fine. Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao are ultimately disciples of my Grand Dao Sect, and this powerful one has practically devoted everything to their cultivation."

The Sect Leader nodded.

To enable Ji Fuyao to advance from the third layer of the Profound Venerable Realm to the Saint Realm within three months must have consumed vast amounts of heavenly treasures and earthly riches.

The Azure Profound Ancestor instructed, "From now on, don't worry about Lu Xuan; let him be."

The Sect Leader said, "As you command."

A moment of silence.

The Sect Leader suddenly thought of the Heavenly Net Hall matter, his expression shifting slightly, "Ancestor, a voice transmission from the Heavenly Net Hall's main hall says the Blood Fiend Great Emperor will personally come to our sect to demand a person, to take Fuyao away!"

The Azure Profound Ancestor gave a cold smile, "If he dares to come demanding someone, I'll make sure he never returns!"

Killing intent fully revealed!

The Sect Leader's heart tightened; it was clear the Ancestor had moved to kill!

At the same time.

On Xuan Qing Feng.

Lu Xuan lay before the thatched hut, leisurely basking in the sun, watching the distant white clouds and grey dogs, clouds rolling and unfurling.

His mind was clear, free of distracting thoughts, truly embodying "watching the white clouds and grey dogs, the thoughtless transform the void."

Ji Fuyao was cooking in the thatched hut, cooking smoke curling gently.

Not long after.

Ji Fuyao brought out the food, placing it on the stone table, "Master, it's time to eat."

Lu Xuan slowly rose, smiling, "Good."

Half an incense stick later.

Lu Xuan finished eating, lay back on the recliner, looking at Ji Fuyao, "Fuyao, later still come to my cave abode; I'll treat you."

Ji Fuyao's face flushed a faint crimson, "Master, how many more treatments do I need?"

Lu Xuan thought, "Just another two or three times, and it'll be about done."

Ji Fuyao let out an "oh," her face slightly reddening.

Not long after.

Ji Fuyao finished eating, tidied the thatched hut, and followed Lu Xuan into the cave abode.

A ripple rose in her heart, faint anticipation mixed with a hint of shyness.

After all, during the treatment her alluring demeanor appears before the master's eyes—how improper is that?

Moreover, it's not just once or twice.

Inside the cave abode.

Ji Fuyao sat cross-legged; Lu Xuan treated her jade back, profound and gentle qi slowly circulating, Ji Fuyao felt as if seated in a spring breeze, body and mind at ease.

Soon, she was drenched in fragrant sweat, her breathing becoming rapid.

Several hours later.

Lu Xuan's hand slowly withdrew from Ji Fuyao's jade back; at this moment her scarlet long skirt was already soaked with fragrant sweat, clinging to her delicate form, revealing a flawless curve and an alluring aura.

"Master, thank……"

Ji Fuyao's face flushed red, her tender lips parting slightly as she spoke softly.

Lu Xuan nodded.

Suddenly!

Great Dao Sect's distant azure heavens suddenly tore apart, an incomparably terrifying aura condensed, the ten‑thousand‑li clear firmament was directly ripped open, a path of incomparably scarlet light appeared between heaven and earth.

A deafening roar exploded in the Void, like thunder, echoing throughout the Great Dao Sect for ten thousand li.

Boom—

Void Rending!

Space warps!

Three figures walked out from the space rift.

It was Blood Sever Great Emperor and his two Great Emperor servants!

Blood Sever Great Emperor's voice echoed through the Void.

"Great Dao Sect, Heavenly Net Palace has descended; why don't you hurry out to receive us!"
