Chapter 56 - 55 Reaction of Luotian Sacred Land

56: Chapter 55: Reaction of Luotian Sacred Land 56 -55: Reaction of Luotian Sacred Land “To suddenly get a wife, why be angry?” Ye Xuan glanced at Zhou Youwei displeasedly. Zhou Youwei stared blankly at Ye Xuan. Moments later, Zhou Youwei’s face broke into a smile. Ye Xuan smiled faintly. Everything remained unspoken. Time seemed to freeze in that moment. In the past, outsiders always said that Ye Xuan was not worthy of Zhou Youwei. They would say Zhou Youwei’s marriage to Ye Xuan was like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung or a pearl covered in dust. But those were ultimately just the words of outsiders. Zhou Youwei didn’t care, and neither did Ye Xuan. That was enough. In that moment, Zhou Youwei was still stunningly beautiful. She was like an Ice Lotus on the Heavenly Mountain, naturally carrying a breathtaking charm. Her exquisite beauty could devastate nations. She smiled gently, her demeanor tender as she faced Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan, dressed in a black robe, his slightly pale face carrying a hint of a smile. His dark eyes, like the endless abyss, exuded a mysterious and eerie allure. This scene caught the eyes of some of the disciples from the Emperor Immortal Sect. For some reason, they didn’t feel the usual envy. Instead, they inexplicably thought that the two were well matched. At the high temple, “Grandfather Ye is also not in good health; let’s go back and visit him later,” Zhou Youwei suggested. Ye Xuan nodded, “Of course, he probably doesn’t know I’ve regained my senses yet.” “I have sent someone to inform him,” Zhou Youwei said softly. “That’s good.” Ye Xuan felt somewhat emotional. He had been cared for by Grandfather Ye Hongli since childhood and missed him deeply. After his soul had transmigrated in his eleventh year, he had dreamed of his grandfather countless times, but upon waking, he faced the cold reality. Having suffered endless hardships through the eons, he had finally returned to his body. It was essential to see his grandfather. “Let’s visit the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple,” Ye Xuan said, regaining his composure. “Alright.” Zhou Youwei took Ye Xuan, and they flew out of the high temple towards the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple. Soon, the two arrived at the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple. With Qiu Wenhan now occupying the position of elder, the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple was left unguarded and completely empty. The pair walked into the temple. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Upon entering, Zhou Youwei’s gaze was immediately drawn to the character “Ye” above the Divine Altar; she voiced her confusion softly, “Why haven’t I seen this before when I came to the temple?” Ye Xuan looked at the character “Ye” with no change in expression. Compared to his last visit, that character “Ye” was now more conspicuous, almost instantly noticeable. It seemed as if some divine force was slowly merging into the “Ye” character. Ye Xuan approached the Divine Altar and picked up a glowing pearl from it. The pearl sparkled brilliantly, as if naturally made. Holding it in his hand seemed to slightly increase his cultivation. “Is this that Sacred Dao Mystics Weapon?” Zhou Youwei exclaimed, stepping forward to look at the pearl in Ye Xuan’s hand. After giving it a look, Ye Xuan handed it to Zhou Youwei, “This will belong to you from now on.” Zhou Youwei’s eyes flickered with surprise, but she didn’t accept it, shaking her head, “Your cultivation is only at the level of the Divine Gate now, you need it more than I do.” A Sacred Dao Mystics Weapon was incredibly valuable, possessing many wonderful uses. Ye Xuan glared at Zhou Youwei and said slowly, “I don’t value this trifling Mystics Weapon, it’s just a mundane artifact after all, just keep it.” He wasn’t joking; with Ye Xuan’s standards, indeed, a Sacred Dao Mystics Weapon wouldn’t catch his eye. Not to mention a Mystics Weapon, even an Emperor’s Artifact might not attract Ye Xuan’s interest. Ye Xuan stuffed the bead into Zhou Youwei’s arms, then said, “Go and cultivate, we have things to do in three days.” Zhou Youwei internally refused, but seeing Ye Xuan so determined, she had to accept it, “Then I’ll keep it for you, just let me know when you need it.” Ye Xuan suddenly smirked, “I don’t need that thing, I need you.” “Ignoring you now!” Zhou Youwei’s face turned slightly red, and she left the temple at a brisk pace after sticking out her tongue playfully. Seeing Zhou Youwei’s coy demeanor, Ye Xuan burst into laughter. Ye Xuan’s laughter only made Zhou Youwei’s cheeks redden further, and she muttered to herself, “Really a rotten scoundrel…” “Hey, hey, hey—” After laughing, Ye Xuan suddenly called out, “You’ve gotten me lost!” However, Zhou Youwei had already flown far away. Ye Xuan immediately showed a bitter smile and said, “I have to walk again.” “I should still focus on advancing my cultivation to the realm of a prince, otherwise it’s too difficult.” Ye Xuan sighed. ———— Speaking of Luotian Sacred Land. When the news of the disastrous defeat reached Luotian Sacred Land, everyone there was stunned. “How is that possible?!” “Thousands of powerful warriors took action, even with four Great Elders to bolster their ranks and carrying the Sacred Dao Mystics Weapon, yet they still couldn’t defeat Emperor Immortal Sect?” The people of Luotian Sacred Land couldn’t accept this reality. Not long out from seclusion, Zhao Zichuan, the Saint Master of Luotian Sacred Land, upon hearing that his wife was captured alive, almost fainted from rage. “Well done, Emperor Immortal Sect!” Zhao Zichuan’s eyes were about to split with fury, trembling with anger. Boom—— Driven by his rage, Zhao Zichuan shattered the clouds above and all the surrounding mountains crumbled to dust! “Saint Master, do not be angryy!” the remaining five Elders of Luotian Sacred Land exclaimed in shock, hurriedly advising, “They only captured Elder Chai to trade for benefits, at least for now, he is safe.” Zhao Zichuan clenched his fists so tightly they crackled, fury filling his eyes as he spoke coldly, “First they kill my son, now they imprison my wife, if I, Zhao Zichuan, do not avenge this, I am no man!” “Saint Master, we understand your sorrow, but even Elder Chai carrying the Sacred Dao Mystics Weapon failed against Emperor Immortal Sect, I fear the enemy is not as simple as we thought,” the Second Elder said with furrowed brows. “Right now Luotian Sacred Land is also being targeted by Heavenly Demon Sect and Blood God Palace. If we march against Emperor Immortal Sect with great fanfare, we may face unimaginable attacks.” This remark from the Second Elder left the other four Elders with faces full of concern. It truly is disaster upon disaster. To think Luotian Sacred Land, dominant across a million miles, could suffer repeated strikes. Zhao Zichuan remained silent, his eyes filled with a cold murderous intent. He was well aware that the situation in Luotian Sacred Land was dire, and another misstep might plunge Luotian Sacred Land into a catastrophe from which it might never recover. “Those from Heavenly Demon Sect and Blood God Palace, I will handle personally, but who will deal with Emperor Immortal Sect?” Zhao Zichuan said. The Second Elder pondered for a moment and then spoke, “Judging by what Emperor Immortal Sect did today, they are serious. We might as well do as they suggest, give them ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields, and first bring back Elder Chai.” “Absolutely not!” This was immediately met with objection from the other Elders, “Ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields are not minor; once given to Emperor Immortal Sect, they will recover, while our Luotian Sacred Land will be greatly weakened.” The Second Elder shook his head, “Not truly given.” “Empty promises are useless today, this is the situation!” the other Elders stated. “We only need to give them the ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields near our sect’s territory to ensure Elder Chai’s safety first,” the Second Elder said soothingly. “I see!” everyone responded, “By then, even if the Spirit Stone Mines and Medicine Fields are officially theirs, they wouldn’t dare to mine them.” “This plan will work,” Zhao Zichuan nodded slightly. “Who will go as the envoy?” Zhao Zichuan then asked. Everyone looked at each other hesitantly. “I will go,” the Second Elder volunteered. “The Second Elder must be careful,” the other Elders said quickly, as if they were afraid the Second Elder might regret his decision. Seeing this scene, Zhao Zichuan’s eyes glinted coldly. If it weren’t for the desperate situation in Luotian Sacred Land and the need for capable people, he would have already taken these Elders to task. A mere Emperor Immortal Sect, victorious twice, and these Elders are already terrified. With such spirit, how could they still call themselves Elders? “Saint Master, then I will go down to prepare now and set off tomorrow,” the Second Elder excused himself. “Go,” Zhao Zichuan waved his hand. “Saint Master, we will also go down to get busy,” the remaining four Elders also excused themselves. “Mm,” Zhao Zichuan said nothing. Once the hall was left with only Zhao Zichuan, he rubbed his forehead, his brow furrowed. “My dear, don’t worry. I will definitely rescue you and avenge Yulong,” Zhao Zichuan silently vowed. After a while, Zhao Zichuan spoke, “Shadow, take my place for a few days; I am heading to Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.” “Yes.” In the empty grand hall, darkness writhed, gradually forming a person. Upon closer inspection, that person looked exactly like Zhao Zichuan!
