“Father! What happened?” A young man in white burst into the hall on his Flying Sword, his demeanor quite arrogant despite only being at the Separation Stage. His long hair was tied up with a jade crown, and his slightly pale face had deep-set eyes with gray bags beneath them, clearly a spoiled rich kid.
“Yixuan!” Ye Gang frowned as he looked at his inept son, shifting his body to shield him behind himself.
Ye Yixuan's shifty eyes scanned the group of women before him, greedily taking in their appearances, saliva unconsciously dripping from his mouth.
Ling Kui frowned slightly and coldly said, “Is this how the Crimson Cloud Sect treats its guests? Since you refuse to hand over my husband, I will have to call my father-in-law to seek justice! Let’s go!”
“Leave? You think you can just walk away? Not a chance!” Ye Yixuan sneered, his eyes filled with avarice.
Ling Kui ignored him and turned her gaze to Ye Gang and Hong Ci. “To show our sincerity, we came here as family members. I didn’t expect to be treated this way. Is this how the Crimson Cloud Sect welcomes its guests? Is it really necessary to make things difficult for us juniors?”
Her gaze was icy as she slowly scanned everyone in the room. Behind her stood two others: Li Yanrong and Yun Moyu. To avoid drawing attention, even Lu Nishang had not come along. Judging by their cultivation levels, all three women were at the Separation Stage, which made them seem quite weak in front of such a large sect like the Crimson Cloud Sect.
They had already planned their visit carefully; Yuan Xian'er and Ming Ruoyun were operating from the shadows while the three women presented themselves openly under the banner of the Outer Academy. Ostensibly, they were there to claim Li Xiaonan's Yuan Ying, but secretly they intended to steal it!
If the Crimson Cloud Sect acted reasonably and considered their ties with the Outer Academy, they would not make things difficult for them. However, if they were radicals intent on killing witnesses, that would be fine too. Ling Kui had already mastered the transformation of her dragon form; with its formidable defense and incredible speed, escaping would not be an issue.
“If my father or other elders intervene, it would naturally be bullying you. But if we juniors take action, it is only fair!” Ye Yixuan glanced at his father Ye Gang, who gave a slight nod. A sinister smile crossed his face as he extended his claw-like hand toward Ling Kui's chest, clearly attempting a move reminiscent of Wei Xiaobao’s infamous technique—Grabbing Dragon Claw!
“Xiao Nan…” A gentle sound like flowing water came from Red Gorge as Li Xiaonan sighed softly, gazing at the fragmented sky.
Damn it! Still no breakthrough; just one more push is all I need! The Harmony Technique is too perverse!
“Xiao Nan?” Yuan Xian'er called softly from where she lay in his arms.
Li Xiaonan snapped back to reality, a serene smile gracing her lips as she gently brushed aside her slightly disheveled hair. "Hmm?"
"Do you like me?" Yuan Xian'er asked, her big eyes wide open, seemingly returning to the lively little thief she once was.
"I do!" Li Xiaonan replied with a soft smile, planting a gentle kiss on those delicate lips.
Tender and sweet, Li Xiaonan continued to seek more, her agile tongue slipping inside, exploring deeper.
"Ah! Bad girl! You bit me!" Li Xiaonan exclaimed in pain, quickly pulling away from Yuan Xian'er.
Yuan Xian'er looked at him with a mischievous grin. "Xiao Nan, how did you end up here? Did Ling Kui Sister let you out? Is your body healed?"
Li Xiaonan nodded, then shook his head. "Where are Ling Kui and the others? Has Father-in-law arrived?"
"No, only Ling Kui Sister came, along with Sister Yanrong, Sister Mo Yu, and Ruo Yun Sister."
Li Xiaonan's hands froze mid-motion as he was helping Yuan Xian'er get dressed. His expression stiffened, a flash of anger crossing his face before it was replaced by deep concern. "Just those few? What kind of place is Crimson Cloud Sect? Are you trying to get yourselves killed? Where is Crimson Cloud Sect? Take me there!"
Yuan Xian'er nodded and pointed south. "There’s a Suspension Bridge over there; cross it and you'll reach the main gate of Crimson Cloud Sect."
Li Xiaonan gazed at that direction with a complex expression before nodding heavily.
Yuan Xian'er stared at him in confusion, wondering why he wasn’t moving if he was so anxious.
Li Xiaonan understood the question in Yuan Xian'er's eyes and scratched his head helplessly, chuckling awkwardly. "Well... I don’t have True Essence Power right now. Can you take me there?"
Yuan Xian'er furrowed her brows and asked in confusion, "Xiao Nan, hasn't your body recovered?"
"It was recovering, but that Harmony Technique... well, Obedient Dragon II needs to break through, and I can't gather True Essence Power... Once I break through, everything will be fine..."
"No! I won't take you there! I can't let you take that risk!" Yuan Xian'er shook her head vigorously, causing the White Orchid Hairpin in her hair to droop slightly.
Li Xiaonan sighed, adjusting the tilted jade hairpin and gently pulling Yuan Xian'er into her embrace. She spoke softly, "Each of you is my treasure. It pains me deeply whenever any of you are hurt, so... Xian'er, take me with you! I have a feeling that I'm about to break through, maybe in the next moment..."
Hearing the whisper-like voice in her ear, Yuan Xian'er's heart melted. Almost unconsciously, she nodded and helped Li Xiaonan put on her clothes. Her gentle demeanor was ethereal and enchanting. A warm feeling spread through Li Xiaonan's heart as the Golden Core within her Dantian seemed to be stirred by something, continuously growing stronger and radiating a soft, alluring golden light.
"Xian'er!"
"Yes?"
"I love you..."
Yuan Xian'er blushed and took out the White Orchid Hairpin from her hair. She grasped Li Xiaonan's hand and said, "I love you too..."
The two transformed into a beam of radiant light and flew towards the southern mountain peak!
"Damn it!"
Ye Yixuan suddenly redirected her hands aimed at Ling Kui towards Yun Moyu, provoking a stream of angry curses from Yun Moyu.
"Hmph! So small, I wouldn't even bother!" Ye Yixuan's eyes were filled with disdain as her gaze shifted to Li Yanrong.
"You!" Yun Moyu hated it when others referred to her as a soup dumpling; it was a blatant provocation. She summoned her Konghou, unleashing a streak of light towards Ye Yixuan.
"Sound Attack?" Ye Gang waved his hand, dispersing the radiant light.
Ling Kui coldly remarked, "Elder Ye, don't go too far! Do you really think there’s no one in our Outer Academy?"
"Brother Hong!" A disciple rushed over to Hong Ci, whispering excitedly. Upon hearing this, Hong Ci's face lit up with joy, and Ling Kui's heart sank! Could it be that Ming Ruoyun and Xian'er had been captured?
Just as she thought this, Hong Ci took a Storage Belt, brushed his hand over it to erase the spiritual mark, and pulled out a deep blue gourd.
He looked at Ling Kui and the others with a cold smile and said, "You’re still too late; seven days is enough time to refine him!"
"You! Xiao Nan!" Yun Moyu felt as if her heart had been ripped open, filled with a desire to rush forward and tear Hong Ci apart.
Ling Kui grabbed Yun Moyu tightly, tears welling in her eyes. "Mo Yu, calm down. I don’t believe Xiao Nan is dead! He wouldn’t abandon us!"
"Hahaha! Then let me show you!" Hong Ci laughed arrogantly, tossing the Water Gourd into the air. With a pop, the cork was removed, and a chill filled the air as black mist wafted from the gourd. A faint voice sobbed, "Wuwuwu... I died so tragically... wuwuwu..."
Ling Kui was taken aback and looked at Li Yanrong and Yun Moyu. She saw both women were equally astonished before a glimmer of amusement crossed their faces. That voice, that tone—they were all too familiar with it. It wasn’t Li Xiaonan but the lively Chen Yaojin.
Though they didn’t know what had happened, they could be certain that Li Xiaonan was safe.
"How is this possible? This isn’t Yuan Ying essence!" Hong Ci was stunned as he gazed at Chen Yaojin slowly materializing in the air.
Chen Yaojin chuckled and floated toward the offering table, picking up a Spiritual Fruit to munch on while exclaiming, "Delicious! Delicious! You kept me locked up for so long; I’m starving!"
Ye Gang's expression turned cold as he struck a palm towards Chen Yaojin.
"Boom!"
Chen Yaojin's form scattered, and a burst of radiant light shattered several ancestral tablets, while a mass of black mist coalesced once more around the beams of the grand hall.
"Oh dear, even if you realize your mistakes, there's no need to destroy the ancestral tablets like this!" After saying that, he took a hearty bite of the Spiritual Fruit, smacking his lips and adding, "My boss is very magnanimous and kind-hearted; he dislikes fighting and killing the most."
"Little Jin, you really understand me!" Li Xiaonan waved his long robe as he slowly walked in from outside, followed by Yuan Xian'er and Ming Ruoyun.
The three women of Ling Kui were taken aback, their eyes filled with joy as they leaned closer to him.
Li Xiaonan smiled and gave each of them a kiss. A warm current surged from his Dantian, so comfortable that he almost moaned in delight.
He had broken through!
Hahaha! Finally broke through; the Sixth Separation Stage is here!
His gaze suddenly turned cold as he slowly raised his head to look at Hong Ci. He wrapped an arm around Yuan Xian'er, gently stroking her thin back, and leaned down to softly ask, "Did this bastard bully you?"
Yuan Xian'er nodded. Li Xiaonan gently kissed her on the cheek and handed her over to Ling Kui. With his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze icy, Hong Ci felt an ominous sensation rising within him.
How did he escape from the Water Gourd? Isn't he a Nascent Soul? Why do I feel like I can't see through him? It even makes me feel dangerously uneasy.
"Boss! I missed you so much!" Chen Yaojin swayed his body and clung to Li Xiaonan like a koala.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Li Xiaonan's mouth as he said lightly, "You are already dead..."
"Boss, you're so mean! You come back and bully me right away! Hey? Are you now Flesh or Yuan Ying? By the way, here's your Seven-Tiered Pagoda!" He opened his mouth, and a Seven-Tiered Pagoda flew out from the dark void, hovering above Li Xiaonan's head.
"Get down. I only like women. If you like men, you can go find Qing An or Hong Ci."
Li Xiaonan directly ignored the question of whether he was Yuan Ying or Flesh because he himself didn't know what he was at this moment.
If he were to say he was Yuan Ying, there was still Yuan Ying within him, and he had flesh and blood. If he were to say he was Flesh, it felt more like a pure force. In any case, as far as he knew, no one on the Starry Illusion Continent had ever been such a peculiar being as him.
"How dare you disturb my Crimson Cloud Sect? Die!"
The speaker was not Hong Ci but Ye Gang's eldest son, Ye Yixuan.
He could hardly believe that so many beautiful girls had found men, and that this man was the same one—and he was even more handsome than him! He vowed to ruin his looks and turn him into an ugly monster!
Li Xiaonan frowned. At this moment, he had already learned to use Mental Power. He didn't need to interpret Ye Yixuan's powerful resentment; he could guess its general nature.
He sighed and lightly sang, "Brave young man, go create miracles!"
With a step forward, lotus flowers bloomed with every step he took.
