Chapter 419 - 209: One Exit, Another Enters (Part 3)
"After that incident, our ancestors from the sect swore that one day we would exact revenge on the Profound Celestial Sect. Thus, today I must intervene."
Li Fanzhou nodded lightly, appearing not to harbor any hostility towards this person.
Immediately, the Manor Master looked solemnly at Yu Zhanfeng, "I have long heard of Senior Yu’s title as the ’Blade Emperor’. Today, I, Nangong Wang, dare to seek instruction from Senior!"
Yu Zhanfeng looked at him expressionlessly. Unlike Li Fanzhou, he was not so patient. No one could stop him from saving his benefactor. Whoever stood in his way had only one fate—death!
This made Nangong Wang’s scalp tingle. To be honest, body refinement cultivators were quite afraid of those who had mastered sword and blade techniques to such a high degree, but he had no choice but to stand up now.
"Stop stalling!" Shangguan He had completely lost his patience, afraid that another would jump in to protect Chu Xuan. He immediately wanted to lead the six people away from the Grotto Heaven for a battle.
As for Chu Xuan, he wouldn’t be able to escape from here, with countless people blocking his path to life!
As the saying goes, what you fear comes to pass. Almost as Shangguan He’s voice fell, a mix of chaotic Taixu energy floated slowly but swiftly from the direction of the Grotto Heaven’s exit.
This energy was condensed to the extreme, transforming into a white luminescent Taixu light, shooting straight at Shangguan He like a brocade ribbon.
He abruptly stopped in front of this light, his expression somewhat doubtful and uncertain. Although this radiance seemed gentle, crashing into it would mean the end of one’s corpse and bones.
Upon seeing this signature Divine Technique, many informed individuals exclaimed in astonishment.
The light dissipated, revealing an ice-cold beauty dressed in white robes, her demeanor indifferent and detached, appearing before everyone.
She seemed otherworldly like a celestial being, her icy voice carrying a hint of aloofness:
"As long as Chu Xuan is my disciple for a day, he will always be my disciple. Today, I want to see who dares to lay a hand on him."
It was none other than the Primordial Monarch Taixu. Those present immediately held their breath, all showing expressions of awe. This was a presence at the ninth realm, the "Realm of Approaching Immortality"!
To be honest, although there had always been rumors outside that Chu Xuan was the disciple of this Monarch, she herself publicly stated at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, "There is nothing between us."
But despite saying there’s nothing, at Chu Xuan’s wedding last time, she traveled thousands of miles to attend.
Which left outsiders completely unable to understand the entanglement between them. Since this Monarch had not appeared in the world for a long time, her attitude towards Chu Xuan was ambiguous. Just now, some people wanted to take advantage of the chaos.
But as she appeared and personally uttered the word "disciple," those with greedy intentions shrank back.
To be honest, today was a grand drama with unexpected turns, and no one expected so many powerful figures to stand up for Chu Xuan. It seemed a battle wouldn’t break out today after all.
The members of the Shangguan family naturally looked extremely displeased, and Shangguan He gritted his teeth unwillingly. With great effort, they had pushed Chu Xuan to the brink of death. Were they really resigned to giving up meekly today?!
And if they don’t give up, who would they send to deal with the Primordial Monarch Taixu? Who would dare to face her?
Chu Xuan’s expression was somewhat desolate as he looked up towards Ji Mingyu’s direction.
Ming Yu’s gaze towards him was very calm, but she used a pleading tone, secretly transmitting her voice:
"I know you haven’t forgiven me yet, but this is not the time for a personal grudge. Please don’t refuse. After we escape the danger, we can talk properly."
Chu Xuan said nothing, quietly watching her, gazing into her eyes.
Qing’er held his hand beside him, also saying nothing.
Ji Mingyu breathed a slight sigh of relief at this, trying not to look at that opportunistic woman, only thinking:
Chu Xuan is watching me. He still loves me. I must take this opportunity to make amends and bring him back to my side.
"This matter ends here." Ji Mingyu coldly swept her gaze over the Shangguan family, landing beside Chu Xuan, with an air of taking him away from this place.
Shangguan He, though unwilling, found himself unable to utter a single word of objection. It was evident that this Primordial Monarch Taixu was extremely partial to Chu Xuan. Talking to her about "fateful reincarnations of evil" was pointless. There was even, perhaps, an extremely terrifying possibility...
Seeing the Monarch holding Chu Xuan’s hand, about to leave.
But suddenly, a voice filled with amusement rose from the crowd, "Wait a moment."
