87. Get Caught

The black jade stone flickered intermittently with a faint black glow, as if it had a faulty connection.

Seeing this, the two figures in black robes looked elated, a hint of ecstasy crossing their faces. They were waiting for the jade stone to fully illuminate. Once it did, they would finally be able to take action.

The tall figure suddenly said, "Fatty, my heart’s racing—I feel like something big is about to happen."

The shorter, chubbier figure chuckled. "Heh heh, we're about to complete the mission. Of course it's big!"

"No, it's different this time."

"You're just excited, that's all. So am I!" The chubby one rubbed his hands together, laughing eerily.

The tall figure paused, "Makes sense."

"Wait, something’s wrong! Look—the light's gone completely!" The chubby one pointed at the black jade stone, alarmed.

“Damn it! We were so close!” the tall one muttered through gritted teeth.

The chubby figure sighed, “Looks like we’ll have to keep lying in wait for another chance.”

Feeling disappointed, the tall figure sighed, “We missed a prime opportunity. Who knows how long we’ll have to wait again.”

The chubby one snickered, "I doubt it’ll be too long!"

“The communication talisman isn’t broken, right?”

“Nope.”

“Good! Then let’s wait and see.”

…

Meanwhile, outside the Tomb Mansion in the Tianyan Mountain Range—

Wang Lei, with his hands on his hips, looked confident and fearless.

He’d heard from Mo Jingtian about a powerful ally who’d helped him break through the Nirvana Second Realm and would soon be arriving to assist.

“Wang Lei, take my advice and let it go,” Lin Fan warned him kindly.

But Wang Lei stubbornly refused, insisting on settling the score.

“Are you looking for me?” a voice said.

Chen Xuan appeared, and as soon as he did, Wang Lei instinctively felt a wave of fear, his hairs standing on end.

He felt like he was facing a deadly threat.

“You… you’re the one who killed the talents of my Wang family and Qin family?” Wang Lei stammered, terrified, losing all semblance of his usual authoritative demeanor.

Chen Xuan nodded. “Yes.”

“Good, good! You admitted it! Just wait—I’ll call for backup to teach you a lesson!” Furious, Wang Lei pulled out a signal talisman.

When Mo Jingtian had given it to him, he’d said that breaking it would send a power signal that would reach him, no matter how far away he was.

“Crack.” Wang Lei decisively crushed the talisman, and a wave of energy emerged. But to his shock, instead of going out as he expected, the energy flowed directly into Chen Xuan’s body.

Wang Lei’s face froze, disbelief all over his face as he looked back and forth between the broken talisman in his hand and Chen Xuan. How could this be? Mo Jingtian said…

Then it dawned on him.

“You planned to kill me?” Chen Xuan asked, a faint smile on his face.

Damn that Mo Jingtian! You tricked me!

Changing his tone quickly, Wang Lei stammered, “Senior, it’s a misunderstanding… I didn’t mean…”

But before he could finish, a condensed sphere of energy shot straight through his head, followed by a chilling aura that seized his soul, freezing it in place.

And just like that, the once-powerful clan leader of the Wang family was killed by Chen Xuan in a single move.


Beside him, Qin Zhenfeng was so frightened that he wet his pants on the spot.

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, hoping Chen Xuan would spare him.

However, in the spirit of fairness and justice, Chen Xuan decided to reunite the two “good brothers” within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

After all, true brothers should stay together, even in misfortune.

After dealing with the trash, Chen Xuan instructed Lin Fan to lead a group to completely eradicate the Wang and Qin clans—leaving no one behind.

If their clan leaders sought his death, he wouldn’t hesitate to respond ruthlessly.

Lin Fan was happy to oblige, bringing Lin Mu, Lin Langtian, and other experts of the Lin clan straight toward Qin City. Chen Xuan assigned the Ancient Dragon Ape and the Heaven-Shaking Demon Ape to supervise the task.

He then made his way up to a small pavilion on the mountainside.

There, Yun Yun sat in a deep-blue dress, her snowy skin looking even fairer under the sunlight.

Her elegant figure, calm and poised, made one exclaim… it was simply breathtaking!

Draped in light, flowing fabric over her shoulders, her dignified and curvaceous figure had a subtle allure.

Sitting with one hand propped on the ground, a hint of melancholy in her beautiful eyes, she seemed all the more enchanting.


Sensing Chen Xuan’s approach, Yun Yun put on an outer robe, covering her captivating figure.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan teased, “It’s not like I haven’t seen it before; why so reserved?”

“When are you taking me back to the Dou Qi Continent?” Yun Yun asked, looking up.

How long?

Chen Xuan couldn’t answer. “I still have some matters to settle; otherwise, I might not be able to leave.”

For him, revenge was easy, but he hadn’t drawn a teleportation talisman yet, so he couldn’t leave. Plus, he wasn’t certain if it would transport him directly to the Dou Qi Continent, or if the timing would be right.

Yun Yun, hearing this, felt he was stalling. “Chen Xuan, are you making excuses?”

“Come on, do I look like that kind of person?”

“No, but you are!”

“??”

“I’m really in a hurry to get back to the Yunlan Sect,” Yun Yun said, a bit anxious.

She was constantly worried about her disciple, Nalan Yanran.

Without bringing back the Purple Crystal, Gu He wouldn’t be able to refine the necessary pill, making it harder for her disciple to quickly gain strength.

When the three-year challenge arrived, what if they lost?

Chen Xuan understood her concerns. “Don’t worry. Even if you’re not there, isn’t your master Yun Shan still overseeing the sect? It’ll be fine.”

“Master has been in secluded training for years. I don’t even know if he’s still alive,” Yun Yun replied, feeling wistful.

“He’ll be fine…”

Chen Xuan’s words were suddenly interrupted by a sharp, shocked voice.

“Chen Xuan! What are you doing?!”

Hearing this voice, Chen Xuan felt a hint of familiarity. He turned to see a graceful figure approaching.

The newcomer wore a light-colored dress, her skin as white as snow and her waist as slender as a willow. Though a thin veil partially covered her face, it couldn’t hide her stunning beauty—it was Ling Qingzhu!

[Ding! Ling Qingzhu’s emotions triggered: anger + jealousy + envy. Emotion score +500]

Ling Qingzhu glared at the two of them, her chest heaving with emotion.

“Chen Xuan, did you divorce me just for this woman?”

Chen Xuan: “???”
