Chapter 101: Great Changes in the Xuan Domain, Hurrying Back to the Western Sect

Swish! The Nine-Colored Heavenly Dragon dissipated accordingly.

After Mengchen withdrew his stance, he landed on the ground and took several deep, ragged breaths; this battle had truly consumed quite a lot.

"Stinky little brother, you are truly too formidable; you make me admire you so much!"

Tianhu Shaonü wore a look of pure admiration. She twisted her body as she walked toward Mengchen, her arms crossed over her chest and her right fingertips lightly tapping her red lips, looking extremely bewitching.

Mengchen looked at the Witch walking over with an expression of admiration, and immediately placed his hands on his hips, saying with a bit of unbridled pride: "Little fox, how about it? It's not a loss to be my handmaiden, is it? This identity will be the most proud reliance of your life; in the near future, countless people will look up to you and envy you because of it."

"Hehe..."

Tianhu Shaonü walked up close, smiling enchantingly, charming and graceful.

"Then this slave must thank you well in advance!"

Following that, she catered to Mengchen's proud words and actions, placing both hands on her waist with a smile, bowing her head, and slightly bending her legs to perform a servant's bow.

Hmm... seeing her cooperate like this, Mengchen was also deeply surprised.

Afterward, Mengchen went with the flow and said with a smile: "You're too kind, you're too kind..."

"I knew you were strong, but I didn't expect you to be this perversely strong. Once I fully comprehend my inherited techniques, I will certainly surpass you." Heizi walked over with an extremely steady gait and spoke.

"Good! I will wait for the day you fully comprehend them. When that time comes, if you win against me, all my precious techniques will be passed on to you." Mengchen laughed upon hearing this.

In reality, he had only said half of it; once Heizi fully comprehended the divine abilities of the Jiuyou Ao clan, that would also be the time he obtained his second Ten Fiends Precious Technique.

"Good! It's a deal!" Heizi said with a resonant, firm tone.

It had witnessed all of Mengchen's precious techniques with its own eyes, and they were outrageously powerful; if it could learn them, it would surely be like a tiger gaining wings.

"Senior Brother Mengchen, are you... alright?"

From behind came Xiyao's light and pleasant voice. Mengchen turned his head and saw that Xiyao had already walked up to him.

In over three years, Xiyao had grown increasingly radiant; her fair, tender skin seemed as if it would break at a touch, and her exquisite, petite features were even more enchanting.

Her white robes drifted like holy white snow, and exquisite white jade hair accessories were nestled in her hairline, causing her straight, long hair to hang down to her waist with extreme silkiness.

The moment Mengchen turned around, a blush immediately appeared on Xiyao's pretty face. She hurriedly avoided his gaze, shifting her eyes to his body. Seeing the terrifying claw marks, she said with a look of guilt: "Senior Brother Mengchen, you are injured; it must hurt a lot!"

"I'm sorry, because of me, you were dragged into this storm and ended up getting hurt."

"Why must the Fairy be like this? We have known each other for a while; how could I stand by and watch you be bullied? Furthermore, the Fairy's appearance is peerless; whoever sees it would surely step up to lend a hand." Mengchen smiled and tried to console her, wanting to dispel her sense of guilt.

Mengchen's words did not serve to console her, but instead caused a look of desolation to appear in Xiyao's eyes: "A beautiful skin will only be a source of disaster! If I could choose, I would rather not have it!"

Hearing this, Tianhu Shaonü looked at Xiyao, her brow furrowing.

She did not agree with these words at all. As a woman, who wouldn't hope to possess a peerless appearance? Yet she...

This point made Tianhu Shaonü very puzzled; she truly did not know what had happened to this woman named Xiyao to make her have such a desolate state of mind.

If one were to judge solely by looks, this Xiyao was no worse than her, which made Tianhu Shaonü even more curious.

To the side, Heizi sat on the ground, also very curious; it truly did not know what this brainless human woman had experienced in these three years.

Just at this moment, Mengchen recalled what those people had said earlier and asked tentatively: "Fairy, those people said earlier that your Xuan Sect... is gone?"

Hearing this, Xiyao's eyes instantly became bloodshot and red, filling with hot tears. She blinked her eyes rapidly and let out a long, heavy breath: "Hoo..."

After waiting for a long time, Xiyao suppressed the tears that were about to fall and said with a look of utter loss: "Yes! The Xuan Sect is gone. Of the million disciples in the Xuan Sect, I am the only one who survived."

She struggled to endure the deep grief within her heart...

"My master, senior brothers, senior sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters have all..."

Speaking to this point, those bloody scenes of her fellow disciples dying tragically flooded her mind. She could no longer hold back, and hot tears slid down, but she still stubbornly gritted her teeth and held on, refusing to cry out loud.

She knew that crying would only make her weaker.

From now on, she had to become strong, to kill her enemies with her own hands, and to avenge her deceased master and fellow disciples.

Mengchen asked softly: "Was it the people from the Divine Flame Sect? Can you tell me about it in detail?"

From Xiyao's warning earlier, he knew that the people he had killed were from the Divine Flame Sect, and thus, Mengchen had this suspicion. "Yes! That Wudao came to my sect to propose marriage, and after my master refused, they slaughtered their way in," Xiyao replied.

"What a Divine Flame Sect!" After hearing this, Mengchen's gaze turned fierce, and in his heart, he had already categorized the Divine Flame Sect as an evil force.

At the same time, he recalled the Divine Flame man from before who held the Reincarnation Disk.

That person had been eyeing Xiyao since back then; he didn't expect that in order to obtain Xiyao, he would go so far as to wipe out the entire Xuan Sect. Truly vicious!

As one of the three top great sects in the Xuanyu, it was naturally no trouble for the Divine Flame Sect to deal with other forces.

But what Mengchen found very strange was that, generally speaking, the three great sects would mutually restrain and balance each other; to wage a major war against other sects, one would at least need the consent or tacit approval of the other two sects.

"Did the Longevity Mountain and the West... ern Sect not come forward to stop them?" Mengchen asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Xiyao explained in detail: "More than two years ago, I heard that after the Western Sect Leader returned from the Huangyu, he went into seclusion and did not come out. Rumor has it that he was very, very seriously injured and has been in closed-door cultivation to recover."

"And on the other side, the Longevity Mountain, at the same time the Divine Flame Sect made a move against us, they also launched a bloodbath against another sect. With the Western Sect avoiding the world, those two sects have already begun to crazily encroach upon resources and territory within the Xuanyu."

Hearing this news, Mengchen's brow tightened, and he said: "You said the Western Sect Leader was seriously injured?"

"Yes! That is what the rumors say."

"Who is it? Who could injure Lao Tuzi?" Mengchen asked himself deep in his heart.

"You mean the Western Sect Leader went into seclusion after returning from the Huangyu?" Mengchen began to grow anxious.

"Yes!!"

"Huangyu! Huangyu! Could it be the Butian Sect? Because of me?" Mengchen suspected the Butian Sect.

At that time, in the Butian Sect, the fault was not his alone; could it be that the Butian Sect fought with Lao Tuzi because of this?

"No... I must go back and see. Lao Tuzi, you must not be in any trouble." The more Mengchen thought about it, the more anxious he became.

Jinchanzi had cherished him, loved him, raised him to adulthood, and taught him to cultivate; now that he heard such news, how could he not be anxious?

It was at this moment that Mengchen secretly swore in his heart: if someone really had injured Lao Tuzi, he would definitely kill them with his own hands.

If the opponent was one person, he would kill one person; if the opponent was a hundred, he would kill a hundred; if the opponent was a sect, he would slaughter their entire lineage.

"Fairy Xiyao, why don't you come with me to the Western Sect first? With me there, no one will be able to hurt you," Mengchen asked.

He had to hurry back to the Western Sect now; if he left Fairy Xiyao to wander alone in another domain, she would surely be in great danger.

Hearing Mengchen's invitation, Xiyao was deeply moved; ever since her flight began, her heart had never been stirred like this before.

Previously, within the Xuantian Mijing, Mengchen had given her a brief sense of security, and that feeling of reliance was something she still found unforgettable.

Now in this world, she had no one to rely on, and she wondered where she should go alone... Mengchen's invitation undoubtedly gave Xiyao hope for the future.

"I... really can?" Xiyao asked, her eyes full of hope.

"Yes!" Mengchen nodded with complete sincerity.

At this moment, Tianhu Shaonü stepped forward and said with a smile, "That's right! You have seen the abilities of this stinky younger brother of mine; if you want to avenge your master and fellow disciples, you must first ensure your own safety."

"Then Xiyao thanks Senior Brother Mengchen," Xiyao said, bowing in salute.

Mengchen stepped forward to help her up and said, "Fairy Xiyao, there is no need for this; I believe that the day you achieve success in your cultivation will be the time those people meet their deaths."

Afterward, Xiyao looked at Tianhu Shaonü and responded with a smile and a nod.

"Very well! Let us set off now and return to the Xuanyu."

Having said this, Mengchen requested a map from Tianhu Shaonü and hurried toward a place that possessed a cross-domain Teleportation Array.

After several days of travel, they arrived at this cross-domain Teleportation Array.

With a flash of rosy light, they stepped into the passage, which then closed, and together with Tianhu Shaonü, Xiyao, and Heizi, they embarked on the journey home, completely leaving the Imperial Domain.

Otherwise, if they had traveled on their own, heaven only knows how many months or even years it would have taken to return to the Xuanyu.
