“This… this…” Sun Luyuan stamred for a long ti, yet could not utter a complete sentence.
Fortunately, Li Ping did not make things difficult for him.
With a wave of his hand, he sent a beam of golden light flying into Sun Luyuan’s body. Li Ping said indifferently: “From now on, you probably cannot return to the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. Stay in our Holy Dynasty for the ti being.”
“After so ti, I will arrange for you to return to the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance under a different identity.”
Sun Luyuan raised his head in a daze and looked at Li Ping.
At this mont, Li Ping showed him the scene of Ink Death destroying the land in Luoyan Prefecture.
While endless fear surged in Sun Luyuan’s heart once more, he imdiately understood the purpose of that golden light.
It had clearly erased the imprint left by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance in his body.
“That Tianyin involves too many secrets. If we do not completely erase an entire prefecture, it will inevitably allow others to trace the clues and track us down.” Li Ping explained.
“Then our Sun family…” Sun Luyuan suddenly thought of sothing, and his expression changed drastically.
“That will depend on your luck. If Tianyin tells the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance what happened to her, the Sun family will definitely be implicated. The entire clan will vanish from the world without a trace, and no one will be spared.”
Li Ping’s words turned Sun Luyuan’s face deathly pale.
But then his tone shifted: “However, you need not worry too much. Tianyin is formless and intangible. If she herself is unwilling to appear, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance probably cannot find her. Tianyin and the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance are not on the sa side.”
“Moreover, the attack I launched before leaving, although it did not destroy her, still severely injured her. Tianyin’s condition was already unstable. When she appears and regains clarity again, she may not even rember us.”
Although Li Ping said this, it still could not put Sun Luyuan at ease.
The hidden aning in Li Ping’s words was very clear: there was an even more terrifying existence behind Tianyin, one that even the unfathomable Holy Emperor of Great Qi before him had to be wary of.
“Damn Xu Yuanxian, saying it was just a simple errand. I actually believed your nonsense…”
Thinking of how he had inexplicably been dragged into this matter, with all his original plans disrupted and even his entire family facing implication, a naless anger rose in Sun Luyuan’s heart.
“That old bastard is indeed no different from the other high-level mbers of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. None of them are decent!” he cursed inwardly.
Recalling the various crises his family would face after his disappearance, Sun Luyuan felt his mind in complete chaos.
At this mont, Li Ping spoke again.
“Actually, there is a way for you to return without arousing suspicion. As long as you inform the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance of our existence, you will probably not only avoid punishnt but also earn a great rit.”
Li Ping’s voice echoed in the Holy Emperor’s seat.
Sun Luyuan’s heart jumped. He hurriedly expressed his loyalty: “How could this lowly one betray the Holy Emperor?”
Unexpectedly, Li Ping smiled: “I think you misunderstood my aning.”
“Return to the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and tell Xu Yuanxian everything about Luoyan Prefecture and our Holy Dynasty in complete detail. This is an order.”
“Ah?” Sun Luyuan was instantly stunned. He did not understand why the Holy Emperor would suddenly make this abrupt decision that completely contradicted his previous stance.
“Could it be that he is already prepared to wage war against the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance?” Sun Luyuan could not help thinking.
“After you et Xu Yuanxian, say this…” Li Ping transmitted slowly.
Sun Luyuan’s expression gradually beca colorful.
Not long after, Sun Luyuan quietly returned to the Xuanhuang Realm properly under the protection of Daoist Hundred Flowers.
He hurried to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
At this mont, the Immortal Alliance headquarters was sowhat chaotic because of the destruction of Luoyan Prefecture.
But now, no one would imagine that this matter had anything to do with Sun Luyuan, this Dao Integration cultivator from the Guardian Hall.
Thus, Sun Luyuan smoothly arrived at the Guardian Hall headquarters and t Xu Yuanxian once again.
“You have returned? How did the task I assigned you go?” Xu Yuanxian did not even open his eyes.
“Elder Xu, sothing major has happened.”
Sun Luyuan appeared extrely terrified, looking as if he wanted to speak but hesitated.
Xu Yuanxian abruptly opened his eyes.
With a wave of his hand, he set up multiple restrictions before saying in a deep voice: “Do not panic. Speak slowly and carefully.”
Sun Luyuan took a deep breath: “I did follow your instructions, Elder, and t Senior Qingfeng at the Clear Wind Hall on Ten Thousand Immortal Island.”
“The tree person nad A-Liu has gone completely mad. Senior Qingfeng was willing to leave with . However, she was unwilling to co to the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance headquarters and insisted on going to Luoyan Prefecture…”
Hearing the three words “Luoyan Prefecture” from Sun Luyuan’s mouth and connecting them to the recent calamity in Luoyan Prefecture, Xu Yuanxian could not help but change expression slightly.
“What exactly happened in Luoyan Prefecture?!” He abandoned his usual composure and asked coldly.
“When I was about to bring Senior Qingfeng to the destination, she suddenly beca dazed and said sothing like, ‘Sure enough, there are not many people in the world who treat well…’ Then I felt my body beco ethereal, as if I was about to disappear from this world completely.” Sun Luyuan said with lingering fear.
Xu Yuanxian clearly knew of Qingfeng’s habit and showed no surprise.
“Just when I felt I was about to die, a golden figure suddenly descended. Then…”
“He started fighting with Senior Qingfeng.”
Sun Luyuan projected the image of Li Ping’s earlier struggle with Qingfeng.
“The power of heaven and earth, descend upon my body.”
In the image, that majestic voice spoke in a low shout.
Xu Yuanhan stared closely at the image, his expression gradually becoming grave.
Only when the silver needle appeared did he finally lose his composure.
The image ca to an abrupt end.
“The other senior took away. When I returned, I learned that Luoyan Prefecture had already been destroyed. And Senior Qingfeng’s whereabouts are unknown…” Sun Luyuan put on an extrely terrified appearance.
“Elder Xu, what exactly is going on?! What is the identity of Senior Qingfeng?” He asked in return.
Xu Yuanxian did not answer.
He frowned and pondered for a mont before saying: “Do you know the na of the cultivator who saved you?”
Sun Luyuan nodded: “He called himself the Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor. However, he did not speak much with and soon sent back.”
“By the way, Elder Xu, the small world where the Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor resides seems a bit strange…”
Xu Yuanxian did not pay attention to the second half of Sun Luyuan’s sentence. Instead, he murmured to himself: “Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor.”
Sun Luyuan did not disturb him and simply waited patiently for the other party’s reaction.
“You do not need to ask more about this matter. Just pretend it never happened.” Xu Yuanxian suddenly said this.
Sun Luyuan was stunned.
It was not an act.
“Elder Xu…”
Xu Yuanxian raised his hand to interrupt Sun Luyuan: “It was my misjudgnt. We have not t for many years; I did not expect things to have developed to the point of irreconcilable opposition.”
“I will find an opportunity to compensate you later. But this matter must be kept secret.” Xu Yuanhan’s cold gaze locked onto Sun Luyuan.
Sun Luyuan shivered and hurriedly swore to comply.
“You may return first. If there are any issues, I will contact you again.”
“Rember what I said.”
Before leaving, Xu Yuanxian did not forget to remind him once more.
Sun Luyuan had expected the matter to be extrely dangerous, yet it had been resolved so smoothly.
While feeling greatly relieved, he was also filled with an unreal sensation.
“However, that old thing’s reaction was basically within the Holy Emperor’s expectations.”
“Irreconcilable opposition? What exactly does that an?”
Sun Luyuan could not figure it out no matter how he thought.
But this unexpected turn not only preserved his life but also earned him a favor from Xu Yuanxian. It could truly be called an unexpected delight.
Sun Luyuan shook his head slightly and temporarily suppressed the gloom in his heart.
“Since I am already at headquarters, I might as well go see Lu’er.”
With this thought, Sun Luyuan soon arrived in the Derivation Law Jade space.
Sun Ang seed very pleasantly surprised by his arrival and kept asking questions.
Sun Luyuan answered in great detail.
“You have really suffered, Lu’er.”
“As long as the family is safe, that is all that matters.”
Sun Ang’s single sentence suddenly brought a trace of guilt to Sun Luyuan’s heart.
Feeling embarrassed to stay longer, he left hurriedly.
Sun Ang, that is, Li Fan, watched Sun Luyuan’s departing figure with an inexplicable expression.
The conversation between Sun Luyuan and Xu Yuanxian had naturally fallen into his ears without missing a single word.
The Holy Emperor’s sudden change of mind had also been influenced by him.
“As expected, there are people in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance who know the true situation of the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“The Xuanhuang Realm is being dismbered, transford, and fused.”
“Xu Yuanxian knows this, and so does the Dharma-Transmitter Jiang. However, as subordinates of the Dharma-Transmitter, they undoubtedly stand on the side of the Dharma-Transmitter.”
“They may have already anticipated the actions against the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao. But this has already exceeded their ability to handle, so they chose to watch from the sidelines…”
“After all, not everyone has the courage to stand up and oppose the Dharma-Transmitter. Even the few Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns in the Five Elders Association simply allow it to happen.”
Li Fan snorted coldly in his heart.
“However, I believe there are still hot-blooded individuals in the Xuanhuang Realm whose passion has not cooled.”
The figure of Shang Shaojun flashed before Li Fan’s eyes.
“What is lacking now is an opportunity to unite them.”
“The Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor…”
“It has now vaguely beco sowhat worthy of the na.”
This ti, the Xuanhuang Realm actually took the initiative to release Ink Death to help the Holy Emperor’s clone conceal his tracks. This was sothing Li Fan had not expected before.
“This is certainly related to the clone helping and feeding back the Heavenly Dao through the Dark Sea, but more so because the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm has been in a state of isolation and helplessness for too long. Now that such a Holy Emperor has suddenly appeared, it clings to him as if he were the last life-saving straw.”
“With all kinds of coincidences and opportunities converging on him, the evolution of this clone has truly beco sowhat interesting.”
Li Fan narrowed his eyes as his thoughts raced rapidly.
Although the clone was still under his absolute control, during the period when Li Ping wrestled with the Tianyin, with the support of the golden source power and the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, the clone’s strength had faintly surpassed the current Li Fan.
This caused so deviation in the path the clone was advancing on.
It was like driving a car on the road. Li Fan could still firmly control all the functions of the car, but the road itself had changed due to the vehicle’s own condition.
“However, for , this may not be a bad thing.”
“The more assistance received from the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, the more it will force out the full details of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and even the Dharma-Transmitter.”
“And that Xuanhuang evil thought. It is also ti to probe its depths.”
The sa thought flashed through the minds of Li Fan’s main body and the Holy Emperor clone at the sa ti.
Before long, Sun Erlang arrived at the Holy Emperor’s throne together with Wang Xuanba.
“How is the current situation in the beast small world?” Li Ping first asked Sun Erlang.
“Reporting to Master. After personally witnessing the strength of our Holy Dynasty, especially after seeing Xuanba’s more advanced beast technology, the Imperial Princess has agreed to submit unconditionally.”
“At present, her forces are being slowly incorporated. Although the army there consists of mortals, after three to five years of transformation, they will beco combat strength for our Holy Dynasty. In particular, the large number of beasts will sowhat alleviate the shortage of resources in the Holy Dynasty.” Sun Erlang said in a deep voice.
“Not bad. The efficiency of our flesh factories is expected to increase more than fivefold within three years. Moreover, the Imperial Princess indeed has her own unique insights into beast developnt technology. She is even better than !” Wang Xuanba spoke with praise.
After listening to the reports from the two, Li Ping nodded slightly.
He then inford them of the location of the small world where the Xuanhuang evil thought, that is, Xu Ke, was located.
“You two, go together with Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong to this place. See if you can invite Xu Ke back.”
“Be respectful in your attitude.”
Sun Erlang and Wang Xuanba exchanged a glance.
They had run errands before, but this was the first ti the Holy Emperor had been so solemn about it.
The two brothers did not dare to slack off. They imdiately took leave of the Holy Emperor and hurried first to the empire’s small world.
They found the Holy Masters Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong.
“What? Xu Ke?”
“Are you sure you did not mishear?”
Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong were stunned on the spot after hearing the two’s explanation.
Then Xiao Qing lost her composure and directly grabbed Sun Erlang tightly, repeatedly confirming and asking.
“Since Master said so, it definitely will not be wrong. Will the two of you co with us?”
Although Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong had countless doubts in their hearts, they could not overco thousands of years of longing.
They imdiately agreed.
The four of them traveled together and arrived at the entrance of that small world.
“This is…”
“The formation aura of the Beast Taming Sect.” Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong said excitedly.
Their auras beca sowhat disordered. Clearly the person they wanted to see was right ahead, yet at this mont they suddenly lacked the courage to take that step.
Only under Sun Erlang’s urging did they enter the interior of the small world.
In the lonely heaven and earth, there was only a white-haired old man sitting alone on the mountain peak.
“Xu Ke!”
Xiao Qing’s trembling voice sounded.
The old man’s body stiffened slightly, then he slowly raised his head.
Two figures, one in green and one in red, were flying rapidly toward him.
Sealed mories from the past instantly surged into his mind.
Scenes from thousands of years ago reappeared before Xu Ke’s eyes.
Only Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong still looked exactly as they did back then.
While he, Xu Ke, had already beco old and frail.
The three faced one another.
There were a thousand words in their hearts, yet they did not know where to begin.
“Sun Erlang.”
“Wang Xuanba.”
“We greet Senior.”
Two untily voices interrupted the scene of the three reuniting.
