"Senior, this... how can this be done?"

Upon hearing Rong Xuanqing's words in the main hall of the Shenxiao Sect, Shangguan Zhen, Yu Tianyue, and other high-ranking experts of the Shenxiao Sect all changed color.

You Rongxuanqing had only one request: that Ye Chen go to the Yingyue Sect for five years of training, and that the Shenxiao Sect not interfere in any crisis Ye Chen might encounter within those five years.

This means that if someone far stronger than Ye Chen wanted to kill him, even if they were right in front of him, they could only watch helplessly as Ye Chen died.

"You can rest assured that Ye Chen possesses the Divine Sun Body and is a person of great fortune. Ordinary people cannot kill him. Although I do not allow you to protect him, I have not said that he cannot use external forces to protect himself. With his fortune, even if he is in danger, it is not difficult for him to find a group of powerful people to protect him."

"This is a battle for destiny. My refusal to let you interfere is out of goodwill. Otherwise, if you rashly intervene and do not have enough destiny to support you, you will surely bring disaster upon yourselves and end up with the destruction of your sect and the death of your people."

You Rongxuanqing said slowly.

The members of the Divine Firmament Sect exchanged bitter glances. Shangguan Zhen looked troubled and said, "Senior, it's not that we are ungrateful or want to defy the Holy Will, it's just that Ye Chen is of great significance to our sect, truly..."

Upon hearing this, You Rongxuanqing suddenly opened her eyes. Her eye sockets seemed to have no whites or pupils, instead displaying a desolate gray-black death aura. As the death aura surged, it resembled a black hole with infinite suction power. The Shenxiao Sect members only glanced at it and felt their souls being sucked in and torn to pieces.

"You think I'm here to discuss things with you, since I've been speaking to you so politely?"

"Senior, please stop your supernatural powers?!"

...

Deep within the Shenxiao Sect.

The Heavenly Prison was used to imprison serious criminals within the imperial clan.

Rong Mingxia's body glowed with golden light, ignoring all tangible objects and intangible restrictions, and walked straight into the prison where Pei Qingyun was.

Her feet seemed to be treading on water, creating ripples of gold, and golden lotuses bloomed beneath her feet, exuding a sacred and noble aura.

It seemed like only a moment had passed when Rong Mingxia appeared in the cell where Pei Qingyun was imprisoned, bathed in the glow of the sunset.

Despite being called a prison, the interior was actually quite nice, and Pei Qingyun was sitting cross-legged on a jade platform in the middle of the cell.

At this moment, Pei Qingyun's external injuries had been completely healed after taking high-level healing medicine. She had also changed into clean clothes and looked almost as if she had not been injured. However, her aura was extremely weak and feeble, and her cultivation level had fallen from the fifth level of Spirit Venerable, hovering between the first and second levels.

Who are you?!

Rong Mingxia appeared silently before Pei Qingyun, startling her. Just as she was about to make a move, she was horrified to find that her body was completely out of her control.

Then, Pei Qingyun's body rose into the air, and golden divine chains shot out from the void, piercing through Pei Qingyun's body like nails, locking him firmly. Immediately afterwards, a golden cage connected to the golden chains condensed in the void, sealing Pei Qingyun inside.

With a wave of her hand, Rong Mingxia put the golden cage into her sleeve, then turned and left, disappearing silently from the Heavenly Prison.

Above the Shenxiao Sect in the sky.

You Rong Mingxia walked smoothly to You Rong Xuanqing's side. She didn't ask You Rong Xuanqing whether the matter had been settled, but said with a hint of worry, "Sister, the appearance of the two great gods will definitely cause a sensation and may be known to other forces."

She was not referring to an ordinary force like the Divine Firmament Sect, which was not even at the level of a holy land. The Heavenly Phoenix Clan was one thing, as they could still manage to deal with it to some extent. However, if more forces of the same level were to set their sights on the two of them, this incredible opportunity would probably not be available to the Rong Clan.

"It's alright, just seal off this area."

As Rong Xuanqing spoke calmly, she held the Sal beads in her palm in front of her. A starry light shone from the six Sal beads in her hand. Suddenly, she raised her arm and pointed it straight to the sky. Instantly, the Sal beads in her palm flew up vertically.

"A mustard seed contains Mount Sumeru, while the number of Sal trees is immeasurable."

You Rongxuanqing calmly recited a spell, and immediately the six Sal beads rapidly expanded along with the bead rope. Then, the six Sal beads shot out at high speed in six directions, and soon covered a 40,000-mile radius area inside and outside the Great Gan Kingdom, forming a transparent sealing barrier.

This is the Sacred Barrier of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, cast by someone with the cultivation of the eighth-order Reincarnation Realm, using the power of the Sal Tree. Unless someone at the ninth-order Sal Tree Realm or above intervenes, no one can break it.

(The nine realms of the Saint Rank are introduced in Chapter 33. The nine ranks are: Ceasefire, Thunder, Forgetfulness, Great Void, Purity of Mind, Celestial Being, Life and Death, Reincarnation, and Sal.)

...

The Ye family of Jingyang City.

It belongs exclusively to the beautiful and charming little building.

You Rongqingxian sat on the third-floor windowsill, one hand resting on the tea table, her cheek propped up, her gaze passing through the railing, looking blankly at the lotus pond in the courtyard below.

Your words were also included in the Holy Ancestor's speech.

Does that mean... she also has to try every means to please and flatter Chi Yuan, and then get Chi Yuan to conceive a child with her?

But she is Chi Yuan's master, and Chi Yuan is her disciple. Even if they were in the past, they are still master and disciple. How could she...

But if they don't do this, and five years later, none of them have given birth to any children for Chi Yuan, while Ye Chen is still alive and well, then she will become Ye Chen's furnace.

Well, from this perspective, Chi Yuan is indeed the best choice. At the very least, her feelings for Chi Yuan as a master-disciple far exceed those for Ye Chen. If things change, it doesn't seem unacceptable.

Thinking of this, You Rong Qingxian couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces of her past experiences with Chi Yuan.

However, she didn't realize it until she recalled it. Once she did, she found that her feelings for this former apprentice seemed to be unusually strong. Whenever she saw Chi Yuan, the corners of her mouth would involuntarily turn up, and her heart would be filled with affection.

She once thought it was simply her master's appreciation for his disciple, but now, looking back from a different perspective, it seems not so simple. Especially after Chi Yuan left the sect, in addition to the heartache and regret of losing an excellent disciple, she also felt a strange emptiness and loss, as if her whole heart had been hollowed out.

She hadn't understood why she felt this way before, but looking back now, it seemed her feelings for Chi Yuan had long since changed...

Rong Qingxian's face flushed red. The more she thought about it, the more alarmed and flustered she became. Could it be that she... really had fallen in love with Chi Yuan all along?

"No, no, no! You Rong Qingxian is your disciple! How could you possibly make a move on him?!"

You Rongqingxian shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the messy thoughts in her mind, but she found to her despair that once these thoughts were born, they seemed to take deep root in her mind and could not be shaken off no matter what she did.
