Bai Yichen clutched his chest in pain. He had never been injured so badly before, except for that time three hundred years ago...

"Young Master, you mustn't!"

Today's engagement banquet is the focus of everyone's attention, and it would be impossible for Bai Yichen not to attend.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

But Bai Yichen had already left, and no one could find him.

Chaos erupted in the Divine Realm and the Heavenly Realm, and when Di Qingluan heard the news, she was so angry that she almost fainted.

"Jun Liuyue, you bitch! Why does your ghost still linger even after you're dead?!"

======

Achoo, achoo! Jun Liuyue, standing before the Soul-Guiding Lamp, sneezed several times in a row, rubbing the tip of her nose.

"Who's insulting me?"

Jun Liuyue's lips twitched slightly. Could it be that those scum from the Nine Provinces Continent are thinking of their grandma?

Thinking of this, Jun Liuyue let out a cold laugh.

Immediately, all attention was focused on Qi Xia, as the soul-guiding lamp burned little by little.

Qi Xia's fingers twitched, and then... she opened her eyes.

The first thing that caught her eye was an absolutely stunning face. After being in a coma for many years, Qi Xia was stunned to suddenly see such a beautiful face.

Isn't he already dead?

After falling into a coma, he could occasionally hear sounds from the outside world, but most of the time he was in a pure white, illusory space.

The space was blocked by invisible barriers, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not get out of that space.

Just now, it was as if a hand had roughly pulled him out.

"Cough cough cough." Qi Xia subconsciously tried to get up, but because she had been lying on the bed for a long time, her limbs had atrophied, and she rolled off the bed.

Liu Yue took a step back, looking at Qi Xia speechlessly: "Even if I saved you, you don't need to bow so deeply, do you?"

Qi Xia lay prostrate on the ground, looking... no different from kowtowing and kneeling in worship.

"You... saved me?" Qi Xia stiffly raised her head, trying several times but unable to stand up.

She looked at Jun Liuyue.

Jun Liuyue hummed in agreement. "However, I am being paid, so you don't need to thank me."

"Have we met before?" Qi Xia looked at Liu Yue and felt she looked more and more familiar.

======

Lingyun Peak.

Liu Yuan appeared in the courtyard with several disciples.

"I haven't been here for many years, and it's still as desolate as ever. Elder Qu, you're truly amazing! You've actually stayed in this place for so many years. I admire you, I admire you!" Liu Yuan said with a sigh after scanning the area.

"Liu Yuan, what do you want to do?"

"Elder Qu, don't you know perfectly well what I'm planning to do?" Liu Yuan said with a smile. "It's been four years. Shouldn't you hand over the inheritance mark by now?"

"Don't even think about it."

"Elder Qu, I have already sent men to seal off all the mountain gates. You, and your two little beast disciples, are not going to get out." Liu Yuan looked at Su Xue and Gu Feng behind Elder Qu: "Qi Xia is already a living dead. Even if a great immortal came, he couldn't save him! Why would you go against me for the sake of a living dead?"

“You’re old and have lived enough, but what about your two little apprentices? Why don’t we start with your two little apprentices?” Liu Yuan said with a triumphant smile.

Back then, that old bastard Qu Jingtian gave him a lot of trouble!

Su Xue and Gu Feng summoned their beast souls.

"Hahaha, a mere lackey trying to stop a chariot."

Liu Yuan didn't take these two people seriously at all.

Looking at Elder Qu, he said, "You still have about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to think."

"You want to take the young master away? You'll have to step over my dead body!"

"Old Qu said coldly."

"If I'm not mistaken, you've been using your spiritual power to keep Qi Xia alive all these years, which must have cost you a lot of your cultivation, right? Now, are you still my match?"

The words were spoken.

Liu Yuan suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful aura, which then swept over Qu Lao in an overwhelming manner.

Spirit Emperor Realm! Liu Yuan actually broke through to the Spirit Emperor Realm?

No wonder Liu Yuan suddenly attacked Lingyun Peak.

He only needs the inheritance mark to secure his position as sect leader, and a sect leader with the inheritance mark is equivalent to stepping into the gates of Wentian Academy!

Even becoming an outer elder of the Wentian Academy can provide access to a considerable amount of cultivation resources.

No wonder... no wonder...

Suddenly, Master Qu understood, and he blocked Liu Yuan's attack.

However, just as Liu Yuan said, in order to save Qi Xia's life, his cultivation not only did not improve, but actually regressed quite a bit.

"Go!" Old Qu blocked Liu Yuan's path and shouted at Gu Feng and the other man.

He's an old man, he's lived long enough, but Gu Feng and Su Xue can't.

"Stubborn to the end." Liu Yuan scoffed when he saw that Elder Qu actually intended to oppose him.

The pressure intensified.

Just like teasing a pet, Liu Yuan felt extremely pleased to see the pained expression on Old Qu's face.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I'll let you die slowly." Liu Yuan laughed and ordered, "Go, bring Qi Xia out."

The men Liu Yuan brought were all trusted confidants he had cultivated over the years, and they obeyed his every command.

Old Qu instinctively wanted to stop the man in black, but that was only a momentary lapse in concentration.

He was punched in the stomach and flew heavily through the air.

"Master!"

Gu Feng, who was fighting with the man in black, turned his head and saw this scene, and shouted.

It was about to pounce.

But it was too late; Old Qu vomited a mouthful of blood.

Liu Yuan's spirit blade was already right in front of Elder Qu, just a hair's breadth away from slicing his neck.

"stop!"

As the oppressive aura of his destiny struck, Liu Yuan knelt on the ground with a thud.
