Mu Xueyuan spoke in an utterly self-assured tone, but her eyes flickered with a glint of schadenfreude and excitement. She felt that the one Junior Disciple truly loved must be herself. As long as it was for him, she was willing to do anything. Let alone being generous with others’ resources… this suggestion might even make Junior Disciple love her more.
“Hmm? A good idea indeed!” Ji Yaoyue’s eyes lit up, filled with excitement. Li Yinglian, Chi Xuzi, and the others also nodded repeatedly, approving of Mu Xueyuan’s suggestion. This was already the only way left.
“How shameless!” Suddenly, Dugu Xie spoke up, mocking them with disdain.
In an instant, the entire scene fell into a dead silence. Elder Tong Hammer’s beard and hair stood on end as he roared, “Dugu Xie, you are being outrageous! Who are you calling shameless?”
“Whoever tries to force Chen Xuan is shameless!” Dugu Xie crossed his arms, speaking boldly, “Everyone in the Desolate Heaven Domain knows that the Panlong Treasure Ring is a great fortune Chen Xuan obtained after countless life-and-death struggles. For it, he almost lost his life! Over the years, Chen Xuan has selflessly contributed millions of top-grade spirit stones to support the operations of the Ancient Evolution Sword Palace, yet in return, he receives only your endless greed and covetousness?”
Daoist Santong and others also spoke up one after another, righteously expressing their support for Chen Xuan. At this moment, preventing Ji Wushuang from obtaining the Immortal Source was the most important matter. The elders and disciples of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates displayed rare unity. As for standing up for Chen Xuan? It was merely an excuse…
Du Meng, Shi Lei, and the others also spoke up for Chen Xuan.
“Hmph! Chen Xuan is my disciple. It’s not your place to interfere! Believe it or not, with just one word from me, Chen Xuan will obediently hand over the Panlong Treasure Ring?” Ji Yaoyue said arrogantly. Although her posture was proud, her eyes flickered with uncertainty, clearly lacking confidence. Now that the two of them had completely fallen out, Ji Yaoyue no longer had the confidence to make Chen Xuan listen to her. She was merely holding up appearances.
Daoist Santong shouted loudly, “Since Holy Son Chen Xuan has obtained the Crimson Blood Loyal Heart Token, we naturally have the duty to support him! Everyone, what do you say?” For a moment, the members of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates responded loudly, showing impressive momentum.
“Damn it…” Li Yinglian and the others looked extremely ugly. The coercion strategy might no longer work. Only enticement remained…
“Master, they are deliberately stalling for time! We must obtain the Panlong Treasure Ring quickly. Otherwise, if we miss this Immortal Source, your disciple will suffer a great loss!” Ji Wushuang shouted. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Ji Yaoyue immediately adjusted her expression and shot into the sky. In the air, her cold and proud voice echoed, “Wushuang, don’t worry. As your master, I promise you! Unless Chen Xuan, that rebellious disciple, wishes to die, he must hand over the Panlong Treasure Ring today!”
“Hurry! Everyone, come with me. We cannot let Holy Son Chen Xuan be bullied!” Daoist Santong also shouted, shooting into the sky. At this moment, a flash of killing intent passed through Li Yinglian’s eyes but was quickly suppressed. Though Daoist Santong and the others were not powerful individually, they represented the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates…
“Junior Disciple, don’t worry. With Master taking action, success is assured!”
“Yes, Chen Xuan might be foolish, but he should still know when to submit!”
“Junior Disciple, you are amazing!”
The four Senior Sisters all spoke up, flattering him to the extreme. However, Ji Wushuang had no time to pay attention to them. He wasn’t confident that his master could get the Panlong Treasure Ring from Chen Xuan.
Inside the Xuan Palace.
After settling the disciples of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates, Chen Xuan entered the secret chamber. He was eager to share everything that happened today with Bai Bingyan.
However, the moment Chen Xuan stepped into the secret chamber, his expression changed. Vaguely… he sensed a mysterious and extraordinary aura calling to him.
“Husband, what’s wrong?” Bai Bingyan opened her beautiful eyes and asked curiously. When Chen Xuan told her what he was feeling, Bai Bingyan gracefully approached and gently placed her snow-white, crystal-like finger on his forehead.
“Click.”
A faint fragrance filled the air. Bai Bingyan’s jade-like finger landed firmly on Chen Xuan’s brow, and a strange, extraordinary power surged forth.
The next moment, Chen Xuan felt his soul swell countless times stronger. In front of his eyes, scenes flashed by like a revolving lantern… finally, the images of Ji Wushuang and the Heaven-Piercing Golden Peak appeared…
“Recondensing the great fortune? No… is that the birth of a Sword Heart?”
In an instant, the sensation faded away like the tide. But Chen Xuan’s heart felt as if a storm was raging endlessly.
He quickly shared what he saw and felt, hoping Bai Bingyan could explain.
“Husband, you are probably the true heir recognized by the Heaven-Piercing Golden Peak! This peak is extraordinary. It can devour vast amounts of spirit stones and give birth to the spiritual Sword Heart, which can be considered an Immortal Source!” Bai Bingyan answered firmly, showing a hint of regret.
The Sword Heart was a realm every sword cultivator dreamed of reaching. Naturally, she hoped her husband could obtain this fortune. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
“What a pity…”
Chen Xuan stomped his foot, lamenting. His talent in swordsmanship was extraordinary, but even before he self-destructed his 9th Grade Golden Core, he had only comprehended sword momentum. He was still two major realms away from the Sword Heart.
At that moment, voices came from outside the chamber, “Chen Xuan! Come out immediately to meet your master! Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
It was Ji Yaoyue’s voice.
“Hmm? What’s going on?”
Chen Xuan was confused but quickly understood… everyone believed that the Immortal Source about to be formed belonged to Ji Wushuang. So how could Ji Yaoyue allow him to miss this opportunity? She was here to demand spirit stones!
“Ji Yaoyue, how shameless! You still have the face to come?” Chen Xuan sneered coldly, his eyes filled with icy disdain.
At this moment, Bai Bingyan comforted him, “Husband, don’t worry. With me here, no one can harm your life.”
“Wife, are you underestimating me?” Chen Xuan laughed heartily, pinching Bai Bingyan’s exquisite nose. Smugly, he said, “I have the Crimson Blood Loyal Heart Token, plus the protection of the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates. Who can harm me? But… such a rare opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, I must seize it!”
“Mm!” Bai Bingyan nodded shyly, her beauty unmatched.
Then, Chen Xuan kissed Bai Bingyan’s cheek like lightning and dashed out of the secret chamber.
Moments later.
Chen Xuan leisurely strolled into the main hall of the Xuan Palace.
Ji Yaoyue immediately appeared in front of him, grabbing his hands tightly. Her eyes were filled with urgency as she said, “Good disciple… your master needs your full support! Will you… satisfy me?”
