Chapter 1079

After Lin Qingruo learned that Xu Chen had come specifically to seek the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

She began to whisper to the one protecting her, secretly crafting a fake Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

Later, Lin Qingruo met with that one and received the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

This fake Xuanmu Spirit Pendant was naturally connected to the real one.

Especially the aura it emitted—it was identical to the real Xuanmu Spirit Pendant's aura.

If one relied solely on sensation, it would be impossible to tell true from false.

Even upon direct touch, it would be hard to distinguish.

When Xu Chen saw it, his eyes lit up—it was the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

This aura was certainly correct.

Thus, Xu Chen planned to strike and seize it at a certain moment.

Of course, this was only possible if Lin Qingruo was unprepared.

Otherwise, it would be a loss for him.

Therefore, Xu Chen used the Sleep Emperor Dao.

This technique could directly plunge Lin Qingruo into deep sleep.

She might not dream, but she would definitely fall asleep.

As expected, a few minutes later, Lin Qingruo holding the Jade Pendant.

Immediately grew drowsy and nearly fell unconscious.

Even at this stage, Xu Chen did not lower his guard.

He immediately released a projection—not his true body.

Then he picked up the Xuanmu Spirit Pendant.

The instant he grasped the fake Xuanmu Spirit Pendant, Xu Chen suddenly awakened: Trouble—this is fake.

He had touched many Jade Pendants of the Eight Great Ancient Clans; he knew exactly what the real ones felt like.

Now this fake left him utterly bewildered.

The texture was definitely not real.

Moreover, when he released his Divine Sense, he found its internal structure was poorly crafted.

He knew at this moment he had been tricked.

Yet he secretly exhaled a breath of relief.

Fortunately, it was only a projection.

Even if it were his true body, they would find it hard to kill him outright, given his Undying Dao.

After all, as long as his aura persisted, he could resurrect fully unharmed.

"Heh, you've finally shown yourself."

At this moment, Xu Chen heard a mocking voice.

He stared sharply and saw another Lin Qingruo, and another woman.

Then Xu Chen saw the sleeping Lin Qingruo dissolve into a beam of light and vanish.

Xu Chen instantly understood—it was a projection.

The Lin Qingruo before him was the real one.

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes: "You two are the most complex women I've ever encountered."

He couldn't help but remark.

He had infiltrated several of the Ancient Clans, yet only this one had forced him into such a predicament.

Not Lin Qingruo—Lin Qingruo lacked this ability.

It was the woman beside Lin Qingruo.

At first, Xu Chen didn't know this woman's name.

Later, Xu Chen found out.

This woman's name was Lin Qingxian.

It was a very ordinary woman's name.

But Lin Qingxian herself was anything but ordinary.

Not only did she possess exquisite beauty, but the moment she appeared,

She immediately radiated the aura of an Immortal Emperor; the instant Xu Chen sensed it, his expression darkened slightly.

Lin Qingruo was an Immortal Emperor, and so was Lin Qingxian.

Moreover, Lin Qingxian was also a Heavenly Secret Master—the top Heavenly Secret Master of the Lin Family, outside the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

Lin Qingxian smiled lightly at Xu Chen: "Lin Qingxian, greetings, honored one."

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes—this Lin Qingxian was also a heroine.

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly; this Lin Qingxian was also a female lead.
