Chapter 1757
"Thank you." Chen Xuan gripped the token tightly, his figure not stopping. Using the power of the token, he transformed into a stream of light and flew straight away from Qilin Star.
Having just passed through the layers of protective city formations and arrived in the outer void, Chen Xuan's main body established a mental connection with his second primordial spirit.
The second primordial spirit, who was originally planning to coordinate an attack from within and without to annihilate the five holy cities, is now leading Bai Li and using the 'Star Shifting Technique' to move towards the direction of the main body.
"Unfortunately, these five holy cities are ultimately just pawns in the game of power struggles between various parties."
With a wave of his hand, Chen Xuan conjured a celestial chariot carved with auspicious cloud patterns, which appeared out of thin air. He stepped into the chariot, his voice carrying a hint of indifference, "However, killing the true forms of those celestial immortals and gods is enough to intimidate them."
Compared to these, what truly concerned him were those two extraterrestrial prodigies whose identities and origins he couldn't even deduce.
With a casual wave of his hand, the entrance to the Immortal Abode World appeared inside the carriage, and Lin Yuyao's figure floated down from within. Upon seeing Chen Xuan, all her strength crumbled instantly, tears streaming down her face as she threw herself into his arms and wept uncontrollably.
Chen Xuan gently patted her back, soothing her softly. But the pain involving family ties and betrayal couldn't be healed with just a few words.
"Chen Xuan, I'm sorry..." Lin Yuyao cried in his arms, almost unable to breathe, her voice choked and broken, "Before, when I saw you with so many Daoist partners, I thought you were an unreliable womanizer, but today I realize that the difference between being affectionate and being heartless is just a sincere heart."
Chen Xuan smiled helplessly upon hearing this, and helped her up by supporting her shoulders. He said earnestly, "When it comes to feelings, I have always followed my heart. As for the word 'affectionate,' I cannot bear it—my feelings for every Daoist partner are genuine."
At this moment, his words carried more weight in Lin Yuyao's ears than any vow.
"I just didn't expect so many unknown forces to come to Qilin City this time." Chen Xuan looked at her tear-streaked face, then changed the subject, "The plan needs to be changed. This time, I'll have your sisters participate in the battle together. Then, you just need to do this... and so on..."
He whispered something in Lin Yuyao's ear.
Lin Yuyao was already in a state of confusion due to her master and father's tacit approval. Upon hearing this, she immediately nodded, her voice filled with deep dependence: "Yes, I will listen to my husband."
Seeing that she was still full of worry, Chen Xuan smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying firmly, "Don't worry, although there are variables, everything is still under my control."
“Husband, I’m afraid those three outsiders come from a powerful force that surpasses even the Holy City level. Their resources are far beyond what the Ten Holy Cities can match. I’m afraid you…” Lin Yuyao has very few people she can rely on now. Besides her elder brother, there is only this man in front of her. She couldn’t hide the worry in her voice.
"Hahaha..." Chen Xuan rarely spoke boastfully, but when he did, it was with an undeniable confidence.
This was both a reassurance to her and a reflection of his absolute confidence in himself: "Even if the divine son of the Immortal Dynasty or the holy son of the various holy lands were to come in person, I, as his husband, would not be afraid."
"Huh?" Lin Yuyao was stunned. The scene of Chen Xuan and Xuan Yi's primordial spirit avatars fighting fiercely in front of the Enlightenment Tree on the ancient road of the Immortal Realm flashed through her mind, and the unease in her heart gradually dissipated.
"Yes, I trust my husband." She looked at Chen Xuan's profile, the moonlight shining through the carriage window onto his sharply defined face, and a sense of security and attachment she had never felt before welled up in her heart.
That night, the two embraced each other, quietly admiring the starry sky outside the window, which was as bright as a river, and the moon, the supreme star, that hung in the sky and radiated a clear light.
As dawn broke, a powerful surge of celestial energy suddenly descended, enveloping the entire carriage like a tidal wave. Although Lin Yuyao had regained some confidence after a night of calming, she was still awakened by this overwhelming aura.
"Who?" she whispered, her spiritual energy instantly tensing.
Chen Xuan revealed a knowing smile, and with a wave of his hand, he led her into the Immortal Abode World. As soon as they landed, Lin Yuyao instantly switched to battle mode, and a holy Qilin dharma image covered with seven-colored light appeared behind her, exuding divine might.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled and transmitted his voice: "No need to be nervous, my second primordial spirit and spirit beast have arrived."
Lin Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief, put away the Holy Qilin Dharma Form, landed on the ground, and looked at him in confusion: "Second Primordial Spirit? How come I've never seen it before?"
Chen Xuan gave a brief explanation, mentioning that during the last trip to the Chaos God's Nest, his second primordial spirit was mainly responsible for hunting down Nalan Qingtian, and Lin Yuyao finally understood.
The divine power of the Holy Qilin when it manifested was astonishing, immediately alarming Yu'er and her two companions who had just emerged from seclusion.
Last time, when the six women went into seclusion together, Lin Yuyao was the first to cultivate the third strand of immortal energy and emerge from seclusion. In the following days, Qing Tianyu'er, Piaoxue, and Zhanxin also emerged from seclusion one after another.
Only Zi Mo and Tian Xing, whose aptitudes were slightly inferior, were still surrounded by the protective array of the closed cultivation zone around their mansion.
"Husband!" When Piaoxue saw Chen Xuan, a gentle smile instantly bloomed on her usually cold face as she softly called out to him.
Xin'er's gaze fell on Lin Yuyao, with a hint of admiration: "Sister Yao'er is indeed amazing, she is the first to cultivate the third strand of immortal energy."
"Hehe, I really look forward to seeing how strong my sisters will be after they master the three immortal energies!" Yu'er's personality remained unchanged; as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't stop talking about improving her combat power, her eyes full of eagerness.
As the three Daoist partners approached, the perceptive Piaoxue and Xin'er quickly sensed that something was amiss—the red marks under Yao'er's eyes and the subtle solemnity emanating from her husband both hinted at something unusual.
After some questioning, the three finally learned what had happened in the outside world.
"Insolence!" Qing Tian Yu'er's face darkened, and a murderous aura emanated from her. "How dare you make my sister someone else's maid? Who is so bold as to do this? I'll tear her apart!"
"Hmph, these people are already courting death!" Xin'er's eyes turned cold, her tone filled with chilling intent.
"This matter..." Piaoxue was always calm and never acted impulsively. After hearing the whole story, she turned her gaze to Chen Xuan and asked softly, "What does my husband mean?"
Chen Xuan looked at her, a smile appearing in his eyes—as expected, his senior sister understood him best.
He nodded: "Since their plan is so despicable, then we'll play along. You've all cultivated three strands of immortal energy, so why don't you go with Yuyao to Qilin City and cause a good ruckus?"
"Hehehe, I love this, I love it so much!" Qing Tian Yu'er perked up immediately upon hearing that she was going to cause a big scene, and rubbed her hands together eagerly.
“This is feasible.” Xin’er nodded in agreement, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
"Alright, this is a good opportunity to test the results of our cultivation in this phase, and also to help Sister Yao'er keep things in check." Piaoxue's tone was calm, but there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes—how could she not be curious about a battle at the Holy City level?
"Sisters..." Looking at her sisters who were indignant and had chosen to stand by her side without hesitation, Lin Yuyao felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly by something, and she could hardly breathe from the pain.
When surrounded by powerful enemies, one's own biological father, the master who taught them since childhood, and the elders who watched them grow up are not as reliable as these sisters who have only known them for a few months.
The coldness and warmth of this world are so ironic, yet so vivid.
