“Here. I am here.”
As his voice fell, a thunderous boom and a sharp crack echoed! The void tore open, and Spatial Distortion warped the air.
Lu Xuan, clad in white robes, stepped out from the Spatial Rift. A faint divine radiance pulsed around him, making him appear like a Divine King Descending, ethereal and transcendent, utterly graceful.
Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen’s faces lit up with excitement. “Master is here!” they thought, a shared sentiment of profound relief. It was true, their Master always answered their call in the Southern Wilds, arriving in an instant.
At that moment, the Silent Destruction Old Man paused, then a smile spread across his face as he looked at Lu Xuan. “White Robe Supreme, you dare to enter the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone? What a delightful surprise!” He had long wished to annihilate the White Robe Supreme, and now, his enemy had delivered himself right to his doorstep.
Lu Xuan scoffed, not even bothering to acknowledge the Silent Destruction Old Man. A mere clown.
His gaze shifted to Xuanji Holy Lord. Her delicate body trembled, her Three Thousand Zang of White Hair quivering slightly. Her stunning figure was enveloped by an incredibly dense Eerie Power; her state was clearly dire.
Back in the Bronze Ancient Palace, Xuanji Holy Lord and he had crossed paths many times. She was aloof, a true ice beauty, and Lu Xuan had naturally kept his distance. But now, things were different. This was his fourth disciple. Seeing Xuanji Holy Lord engulfed in endless suffering, a pang of heartache struck him.
Lu Xuan’s expression turned icy as he glared at the Silent Destruction Old Man. “Who gave you permission to touch my disciple?”
The Silent Destruction Old Man sneered. “Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen, I will take them today!”
Lu Xuan pointed at Xuanji Holy Lord. “I was referring to my fourth disciple, Baili.”
As his words echoed, everyone present was stunned into silence. What? When had Xuanji Holy Lord become the White Robe Supreme’s fourth disciple?
The Silent Destruction Old Man’s face was a mask of shock, his gaze darting between Lu Xuan and Xuanji Holy Lord, Baili. Even Xuanji Holy Lord herself subtly furrowed her brow. When did this happen? Why wasn’t I informed?
Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen exchanged glances. Ji Fuyao’s eyes sparkled with excitement, a visible sigh of relief escaping her. Ye Chen, however, was utterly bewildered. A senior becoming a junior sister?
At that moment, Lu Xuan wasted no more words. He directly activated a Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme Experience Card. Boom! His cultivation surged relentlessly. Seven-star Great Emperor! Half-step Supreme! One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme! Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme!
Just then, the Silent Destruction Old Man abruptly attacked Lu Xuan, striking first to gain the advantage. He unleashed the Scripture of Silence! Instantly, a desolate power poured forth like a crushing tide. Wherever it swept, Spatial Distortion warped the air, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth energy withered.
Not only that, but the Silent Destruction Old Man simultaneously conjured Eerie Power and Ominous Power. He wielded an Ancient Spirit Weapon, an Ancient Jade Bottle, which contained even more Eerie Power than the Black Jar he’d used earlier. It was the same trick, but the Forbidden Power it unleashed was a devastating weapon against anyone else.
Before the Silent Destruction Old Man could fully unleash his attack, Lu Xuan let out a cold snort. With a thought, an impossibly vast palm print materialized, blotting out the sky, spanning thousands of feet. It was like a Great Domain, a colossal star, its intricate lines clearly visible as it descended directly upon the Silent Destruction Old Man and his cohorts.
Terror gripped the Silent Destruction Old Man and his companions. This palm strike was too terrifying! His avatar couldn’t possibly withstand it! He immediately threw out all the defensive spirit weapons from his storage ring, transforming them into endlessly brilliant Dao patterns that spread across the sky. But it was useless! Utterly useless!
“Boom!” “Crack!”
The instant the colossal palm descended, everything turned to dust! The Silent Destruction Old Man’s body was directly pulverized into a mist of blood, exploding in the void. The elders behind him likewise disintegrated into countless particles in a single breath! An Instant Kill!
Before he perished, the Silent Destruction Old Man let out a desperate shriek. “White Robe Supreme, you force my true body to emerge! You are all doomed!”
Lu Xuan, with an ‘old god is here’ demeanor, replied, “So much nonsense. Remember to invite a few more helpers. I am invincible; you all may do as you please.”
Seeing this, Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao remained completely unperturbed. They were used to it. Their Master was simply that invincible!
Meanwhile, the numerous powerful figures secretly observing from the depths of the void were utterly astonished. Lu Xuan’s palm strike just now had been somewhat eerie. The White Robe Supreme truly lived up to his reputation! So powerful, and so mysterious!
Suddenly, a soft moan escaped Xuanji Holy Lord’s delicate throat. “Ah…” Her exquisite body trembled, her beautiful eyes cast downwards as she fell into a strange state. Her consciousness was fading, and endless Eerie Power swirled within her internal world.
Lu Xuan immediately activated his Insight Eye. He saw that the Eerie Power had invaded Xuanji Holy Lord’s Dao Foundation! This was the very core Xuanji Holy Lord had protected for countless years, now breached. With this, Xuanji Holy Lord was completely enveloped by Eerie Power.
Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen looked on anxiously. “Master, quickly save Senior… er, Junior Sister!” they urged.
Lu Xuan waved a dismissive hand. “Don’t panic.” Why do these two disciples call her ‘Junior Sister’ so naturally?
Lu Xuan quickly moved to Xuanji Holy Lord’s side and gently embraced her delicate form. Her body was incredibly soft and light. Her white hair drifted upwards, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty and exquisite features. This was the first time Lu Xuan had truly seen Xuanji Holy Lord’s face. Beautiful! Absolutely breathtaking!
Xuanji Holy Lord’s face was faintly flushed. Beneath her white hair, which seemed to drape her like clothing, her shapely figure rose and fell subtly. Her snow-white skin emanated a faint divine radiance, releasing a delicate, ethereal fragrance—a scent distinct from Ji Fuyao’s, and utterly captivating.
Lu Xuan suddenly mumbled, “I forgot to turn off my Insight Eye.” Xuanji Holy Lord’s entire form was laid bare before him: her tender, fair shoulders, her exquisite, snow-white neck, like snow falling on a celestial mountain, breathtakingly beautiful; her flat, smooth abdomen… her long, slender legs, perfect as jade pillars; her delicate, pale feet. Too beautiful.
The System quipped, “Host, I’m not even going to call you out on it.” Lu Xuan: “…”
Just then, the ‘Eerie’ power within Xuanji Holy Lord began to act up. Like a young maiden, her breath came in soft, fragrant sighs. Unconsciously, she wrapped her arms around Lu Xuan’s neck, her face drawing closer to his.
“Ah!” Ji Fuyao cried out, visibly flustered. She stomped her foot. “Fourth Junior Sister, compose yourself!”
Ye Chen murmured, “Is this Senior Sister or Master’s Wife?” Ji Fuyao immediately twisted his ear. “Don’t talk nonsense!” Ye Chen blinked, looking at Ji Fuyao. He felt this was the first time his Senior Sister had ever been so flustered. The Empress, his Senior Sister, was always so aloof! What was going on?
Meanwhile, in the depths of the void, many powerful figures extended their Divine Sense, attempting to peek at Xuanji Holy Lord.
Lu Xuan said coolly, “Scram!” Instantly, several figures vanished.
But a few figures remained hidden in the void, determined to continue their probing. After all, such a rare sight couldn’t be missed! This was Xuanji Holy Lord, the Southern Wilds’ foremost beauty! In their wildest dreams, they couldn’t have imagined Holy Lord Baili in such a state. For countless years, how many had yearned for her peerless beauty, a beauty that defied the ravages of time itself? Time had never defeated this beauty! Now, to see her held so intimately in Lu Xuan’s arms, a flicker of jealousy stirred in their hearts.
Lu Xuan’s face turned utterly cold. He simply extended a hand and slammed a palm strike into the void. “Boom!” The palm blotted out the sky, like a Great Domain smashing across space.
“No! No…” Several screams echoed from above the void. Blood splattered! Several corpses plummeted downwards! An Instant Kill!
The powerful figures who had fled earlier looked back, utterly dumbfounded.
