“Qin Wang, you wish! You actually think you can embrace Ancestor Liu Ruyan?” Nangong Baixue saw through Qin Wang's thoughts at a glance. This fellow is getting greedier by the day! For him to even be allowed to lick her feet, his ancestral graves must have been smoking with incredible luck. However... the Qin Family's ancestral graves truly were smoking.
She was now the Supreme Profound Sect's Divine Goddess, having received Ancestor Liu Ruyan's inheritance, and could be said to have already reserved the title of Supreme Number One Beauty. What were Xuanji Holy Lord Baili or Empress Ji Fuyao in comparison? Before her, they all paled! During this period, many major powers from the Southern Wilds had flocked to the Supreme Profound Sect, seeking a marriage alliance with her. She neither refused nor accepted. It was the perfect opportunity to leverage these forces!
Just then, Qin Wang crawled over from the ground. He immediately began licking Nangong Baixue's jade-like feet. Having just been kicked by her, he wasn't angry at all; in fact, his heart was singing with joy. As he licked, he mumbled, “Baixue, your little feet are truly fragrant.”
Nangong Baixue let out a soft chuckle. Her long gown slowly slid from her snow-white neck, revealing her delicate, fair shoulders, and then… “Come.”
Qin Wang's nose bled. So beautiful! He was like a tiger! A fierce tiger descending the mountain, delicately sniffing a rose! A pounce, a snip, a bite. Nangong Baixue's graceful throat let out soft moans. “Ah…” “Mmm…”
After a long while, Nangong Baixue finally opened her eyes, a look of satisfaction gracing her features. Her jade-like finger pointed at Qin Wang’s forehead. Qin Wang collapsed. Three breaths later, Qin Wang sighed, panting. “It seems a bit faster than before, but it should be much better than with others.”
Nangong Baixue shook her head faintly. She had been so perfunctory, yet Qin Wang was still like this? Truly a lost cause! She wondered, What about Ye Chen? Or are all men in the Southern Wilds like this?!
Just then, outside Ancestor Liu Ruyan’s stone sculpture, several Old Ancestors approached, transmitting their voices to Nangong Baixue. “Divine Goddess, something big has happened in the Southern Wilds!”
Nangong Baixue’s thoughts stirred. A long gown wrapped itself around her, and she slowly led Qin Wang out of the stone sculpture’s space. The leading Old Ancestor was Taichen Old Ancestor. His expression was grim as he spoke to Nangong Baixue. “Divine Goddess, Ye Chen is the son of Yao Liuli, the Yao Family’s Saint Daughter. This time, he returned to the Yao Family, but internal strife broke out. The Saint Son’s Lineage is suppressing Yao Liuli’s lineage. Coincidentally, the Silent Destruction Sect has gone to annihilate the Grand Dao Sect, so the White Robe Supreme is absent.”
“Now, the Yao Family is in chaos! A great battle has erupted between the Saint Son’s Lineage and the Saint Daughter’s Lineage. The grand event has been ruined, and all the attending forces are leaving!”
Hearing this, Nangong Baixue was stunned. “Ye Chen has Yao Family bloodline?” No. Why didn't anyone say so sooner! She felt she had annulled the engagement too early! Compared to the Yao Family, the Ancient Qin Family wasn’t even worth a single hair. And she had actually annulled the engagement! A flicker of regret appeared in Nangong Baixue’s heart. If only she had waited a little longer, the White Robe Supreme would have taken Ye Chen as a disciple, and everything would have been perfect. Even if the Saint Son’s Lineage and the Saint Daughter’s Lineage clashed, with her extraordinary cunning, she could have easily turned the tide for the Saint Daughter’s Lineage! If that were the case, there wouldn't have been so many complications!
Nangong Baixue sighed faintly. What’s done is done. Having reached this point, she had already obtained Ancestor Liu Ruyan’s inheritance and was practically the master of the Supreme Profound Sect. This path hadn't strayed too far from her original goal. It was just the Ancient Qin Family being annihilated, after all. With this thought, Nangong Baixue looked at Taichen Old Ancestor. “Continue to investigate! I don’t want my Ye Chen to die. He is crucial for my Severing Emotions path. Whether I can break through to Supreme depends on severing my ties with Ye Chen.”
Taichen Old Ancestor nodded. “Understood.”
Nangong Baixue added, “If Ye Chen encounters a life-or-death crisis, save him!”
Taichen Old Ancestor replied, “Understood.”
A moment later, Nangong Baixue led Qin Wang back into the stone sculpture’s space. Witnessing this, Taichen Old Ancestor and the others shook their heads slightly. Thankfully, outsiders don't know. The Divine Goddess and Qin Wang's relationship is quite scandalous! During this period, many Southern Wilds powers had entered the Supreme Profound Sect, proposing marriage to Nangong Baixue. Nangong Baixue was indeed formidable. Every frown and smile was enchanting and beautiful. As expected of a Primordial Yin Body, she captivated all beings, leaving the younger generation of various forces utterly spellbound.
Taichen Old Ancestor and the others rose into the air, flying towards the ancestral lands’ exterior. A grey-robed Old Ancestor secretly sighed, “The Divine Goddess has received the Ancestor’s inheritance, and her cultivation is skyrocketing every moment. She will soon break through to Half-step Supreme. It seems Ancestor Liu Ruyan has already paved the way for the Divine Goddess to attain the Supreme Fruit Position in this lifetime!”
Taichen Old Ancestor nodded. “Indeed!”
***
Grand Dao Sect.
“Boom!” “Crack!” The void tore, space twisted. Yao Yan’s figure emerged from the spatial rift, looking utterly panicked. The Grand Dao Sect is perfectly safe! As expected, nothing happened! With Peak Master Lu, there are no surprises! But where is Peak Master Lu now? Yao Yan flew directly towards Azure Mystery Peak.
Just then, the Sect Master descended from the sky, divine rainbows surging beneath his feet. He asked in a clear voice, “Daoist Friend, what brings you to my Grand Dao Sect?”
Yao Yan said, “I am Yao Yan, an elder of the Yao Family. I’m looking for Peak Master Lu… no, the White Robe Supreme!”
The Sect Master was slightly startled. “The White Robe Supreme left after dealing with the Silent Destruction Sect.”
Yao Yan froze in place. So, I came all this way for nothing? Peak Master Lu would never let Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao come to harm! The Sect Master asked, “What happened?”
Yao Yan recounted the events at the Yao Family to the Sect Master. The Sect Master’s expression changed. “I never imagined Ye Chen was the son of the Yao Family’s Saint Daughter! You say Fuyao and Ye Chen were teleported to the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone? I’ll go find the Old Ancestors immediately.”
Yao Yan nodded. “Very well, but I must return to the Yao Family now.”
***
Yao Family.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The Saint Son’s Lineage and the Saint Daughter’s Lineage were locked in a fierce battle. Terrifying, peerless auras surged across the firmament—a battle to the death! Yao Liuli and Ye Changfeng had been captured. Thick chains bound Yao Liuli’s snow-white neck, and her body was completely restrained by heavy chains. Tears of regret streamed down her face as she looked at Ye Changfeng. “Husband, this is all my fault.”
“I shouldn’t have been so weak. I worried Peak Master Lu would bloodbath the Saint Son’s Lineage, never imagining it would lead to such a disaster. Now, Chen’er’s fate is unknown, and I’ve dragged Empress Fuyao down with him. Dao Yuan Old Ancestor also escaped, severely wounded. Our entire lineage is being relentlessly hunted. I hate myself for this…”
Ye Changfeng comforted her, “Don’t cry, Liuli. Everything is within Peak Master Lu’s control.”
By this time, the Pill Fragrance Sect, Cangmu Academy, and the Ancient Wang Family had all been ushered out. The Centennial Grand Event was declared a failure. Elder Cang Li of Cangmu Academy cast a final glance at the Yao Family, shaking his head. “I still think the Yao Family is a bit foolish! Ye Chen’s alchemy talent is so heaven-defying, surpassing even Yao Feng Old Ancestor, and I daresay even Ancestor Yao Chen himself. Yet, Yao Feng had him teleported to the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone. Couldn’t they have just sat down and talked?”
An Old Ancestor beside him said, “Times have changed. The Heaven and Earth Change has already begun, and the White Robe Supreme is no longer injured! The Grand Dao Sect faces encirclement by eight Supreme-tier forces; there’s no way they can escape this calamity! Moreover, even the White Robe Supreme can’t fight off so many. He’s likely to fall.”
Elder Cang Li frowned. “I remember, ever since the Heavenly Net Hall incident, the Southern Wilds kept saying the White Robe Supreme was finished, finished, but he’s always been invincible!”
The Old Ancestor replied, “The past is the past, and now is now.”
Soon, many forces departed the Yao Family. The great battle within the Yao Family continued. Other lineages watched from afar, not participating, and Yao Feng Old Ancestor of the Saint Son’s Lineage also forbade their involvement. Yao Liuli’s face was filled with despair and guilt. “I’m sorry, everyone!”
Suddenly, the void tore, space twisted. A cold voice echoed through heaven and earth. “Who Dares Touch My Mother?!”
