Night.
Heavenly Azure Imperial Capital.
In a secret courtyard hidden amidst the bustling city.
Liu Shang glanced at Lin Xiyue, who was tightly wrapped by the "Immortal Phoenix Bone Chain," and suddenly burst into laughter, revealing sharp shark-like teeth, as red as blood.
The sharp, blood-red shark teeth, coupled with the striking scar on his face, made his smile appear incredibly ferocious, like the visage of a devil, forming a stark contrast with Lin Xiyue's face, almost describable as "flawless" fairy-like.
Anyone seeing Liu Shang's smile would instinctively wrinkle their brows and grit their teeth.
Yet, facing this hideous face so close to her, Lin Xiyue remained remarkably calm, like a piece of thousand-year-old mysterious ice.
"Hehe... Lin Wansuo, I have finally captured you!"
Liu Shang pinched Lin Xiyue's jade-like white chin with two coarse fingers, gently lifting her stunningly beautiful face.
As he admired the flawless fairy before him, his expression gradually beca intoxicated.
Perhaps overly excited inside, his tiger-like body trembled slightly.
The fair face he could only secretly fantasize about countless nights was now tangibly in front of him, able to be touched and admired at will.
He felt as if he were in an unbelievably beautiful dream.
"Liu Shang, don't forget the promise you made to before!"
Jiang Hongyu, unable to stand Liu Shang's disrespect towards the beautiful fairy, reminded him.
His eyes were filled with extre hatred for Liu Shang, his heart feeling as if cut by a knife.
Even if only for a second, the fairy Xi Yue would suffer one less second of humiliation.
Liu Shang snapped back, disdainfully glancing at Jiang Hongyu, "Get lost first, I'll find you later."
Jiang Hongyu snorted coldly and turned to leave.
While turning, he caught sight of Liu Shang reaching for Lin Xiyue's neckline, a fury boiling within him, wishing he could devour Liu Shang alive!
He could fully imagine what Lin Xiyue would face under the hands of such a brutal and lustful villain.
But he was powerless.
Though he too admired Fairy Xi Yue, if he had to choose between Fairy Xi Yue and Stunning Phoenix Immortal, he would undoubtedly choose Stunning Phoenix Immortal without hesitation.
A short while later.
As Jiang Hongyu left, the room's air suddenly beca silent.
Lin Xiyue remained still, like a mysterious ice, only her bright and determined eyes proving she was not ice, but a living, breathing person.
Liu Shang's eyes shone with unabashed wickedness as he circled Lin Xiyue, scrutinizing her from head to toe with intent to engrain her deeply into his heart.
"No wonder the National Teacher na-dropped to take you. Such a beauty can drive n insane!"
Suddenly he took a lock of Lin Xiyue's hair, bringing it to his nose, inhaling deeply like a tiger sniffing a rose.
The captivating fragrance intoxicated him, unable to extricate himself from its allure.
"Lin Wansuo, I'm actually protecting you. If you fall into the National Teacher's hands, you'd be his Furnace Tripod for eternity, enduring endless humiliation."
"But I'm different; though I'm boorish and admittedly covet your beauty, my deep admiration for you ans you can rest assured, I will cherish you a hundredfold."
Lin Xiyue kept her gaze cool, never uttering a word, seemingly deaf to Liu Shang's talk.
Liu Shang suddenly approached, his gaze once again fixated on her exquisite face, his mouth curving into a mysterious smile.
Such a proud, aloof, unparalleled fairy, conquering her must be imnsely satisfying.
He seed to already envision Lin Xiyue surrendering herself to him, voluntarily indulging underneath him.
His rapidly beating heart grew increasingly heated.
Suddenly, he lightly frowned, gazing at the ground beneath Lin Xiyue's feet.
Unbeknownst to him, a large puddle had already ford under Lin Xiyue's feet.
Liu Shang laughed, teasingly said, "It seems our Fairy Wansuo isn't as calm as she appears; she's scared so much she wet herself."
With that, he suddenly lifted Lin Xiyue horizontally, striding towards another room.
"Co, let's get you cleaned up."
"Trust , Wansuo, I'm ten thousand tis better than that fat pig Li Ruiting!"
"Soon, I'll show you just how delightful it is to be a woman."
"... "
While laughing, Liu Shang suddenly froze.
Because Lin Xiyue in his arms dissolved.
lting into water like ice, flooding the floor.
In just monts, his arms were empty, not a trace of clothing left.
After a long pause, he snapped back, a strange smile flickering across his face.
"So... it was just a clone."
"Lin Wansuo, you are incredible... Creating a clone even I can't distinguish true from false!"
"Soone!"
"Here!"
"Get Jiang Hongyu here!"
"... "
...
In the boundless night.
A giant black bird, carrying eight heavy stone coffins, soared through the night sky.
Suddenly, two streaks of light chased after it, landing on the wide back of the giant black bird.
Ma Muyang hurried over, "Big brother, you've arrived!"
Luo Xiu nodded at him, then turned to Ma Yanran, asking, "I wonder when Fairy Ma will keep her promise?"
Ma Yanran lightly bit her lip, sowhat reluctant to et Luo Xiu's gaze.
Now she realized, the man before her was the legendary figure who slaughtered six hundred emperors!
Perhaps she wasn't even qualified to look up to him.
Rembering her initial disregard and contempt for the man in front of her, her face burned with sha.
After a brief hesitation, she took out a book from the Storage Magical Treasure and handed it to Luo Xiu, saying, "This is our Ma Family's never-shared Secret Technique—Great Fate Without Calamity."
She added, "With your power, do you need a Secret Technique that only temporarily boosts strength?"
Luo Xiu reached out, casually leafed through a few pages, nodded, "Thanks. This Secret Technique is quite useful to ."
He couldn't help recalling Wuxing Chuan's "Sky Elixir Plan."
At that ti, there would be giants of Heavenly Emperor level personally stepping in!
Though he had refined himself to honor, invincible below the Heavenly Emperor, facing a true Heavenly Emperor would still be daunting.
Thus, he needed to prepare in advance.
Ma Muyang laughed, "Big brother is like family; you can cultivate any of our Ma Family's Cultivation Techniques and Taoist Arts, and for a peerless figure like big brother, practicing our family's Unique Arts would be our family's honor!"
The flying Lao Ba couldn't resist teasing, "Your Five-Spice Peppery Rainbow Flattery is truly flawless!"
Ao Si then asked, "May I know where this Venerable One is headed next?"
Luo Xiu said, "To Yan Huang Star. But after escorting you away from Lingtian Plateau, I'll return to Heavenly Plains once."
Saying this, he wanted to pat Ao Si's shoulder, but Ao Si was over three ters tall, making it awkward to reach, so he retracted his hand, saying, "Upon returning to Yan Huang Star, I'll help save those clansn imprisoned by Luo Hao. Truthfully, not long ago, I asked Luo Hao for your clansn's whereabouts."
Unexpectedly, Ao Si smiled and shook his head, sorrow in his eyes.
"Where do I have any clansn? They've all been killed by Luo Hao."
Luo Xiu's gaze shuddered upon hearing this.
Ao Si said, "What he told you about my clansn's whereabouts is likely false."
"The few clansn I have left, two are in prison, and the Clan Leader's family has been exiled to the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven."
"Over these years, I worked for Luo Hao under duress only for those few clansn's safety."
