Yang Lingqian stared up at the ceiling. No one knew what she was thinking.
A voice suddenly sounded beside her.
"Don't worry, I'm always by your side.
"There's no way he's faster than me."
Yang Lingqian almost screamed in fright upon hearing this sudden voice.
A hand suddenly appeared and covered her mouth.
The shock in Yang Lingqian's eyes was replaced by undisguisable joy when she saw the man before her.
An Lin made a shushing gesture, and Yang Lingqian nodded obediently. Only then did he slowly release his hand from her mouth.
"You're finally here!" Yang Lingqian smiled.
An Lin was speechless as he looked at her. "We've only been apart for about ten minutes, and you're already acting like you've finally reunited with me."
"I'm just scared …" Yang Lingqian blushed slightly. "Oh, right. Have you taken care of your business? When can we leave?"
An Lin's expression darkened. "What business? Can I take care of it in less than ten minutes?"
Yang Lingqian's blush deepened, and she looked like a ripe apple as she blinked at An Lin. "You … you can take care of that business …"
An Lin faltered for a moment before coming to his senses. He flared up with rage. "You're insulting me!"
Yang Lingqian recoiled in fright. "I'm sorry!"
An Lin didn't dare to act up at the sight of the frightened woman.
Not only did the system have a problem with his little brother recently, but even this woman had misunderstood his little brother. An Lin felt like it was time to find an opportunity to clear his little brother's name!
"It's fine. Look at how scared you are." An Lin handed a blue jade pendant to Yang Lingqian before saying, "I'm going to scout the surroundings first. I've already injected a wisp of my divine sense into this jade pendant. If there's an emergency, crush this jade pendant, and I'll rush over immediately."
Yang Lingqian gripped the jade pendant tightly in her hand and nodded. "Be careful."
"No one here can do anything to me." An Lin laughed.
"You mustn't get complacent. There are five Return to Void Stage exalted immortals in the harem alone …" Yang Lingqian spoke in a panicked voice, "As for the Immortal King Palace, it's said that there are over a hundred Return to Void Stage exalted immortals who are loyal to the Immortal King …"
In her heart, An Lin was just an ordinary Return to Void Stage exalted immortal who liked to boast. In the face of the terrifying power of an Immortal King, he was far too insignificant, which was why she was so concerned.
"Don't worry, even if I encounter a Celestial King, I can still kill him with one sword strike!" An Lin snorted coldly.
"Mm, Exalted Immortal An Lin is the best." Yang Lingqian nodded with a smile. However, she thought to herself, See, he's bragging again. I'll just pretend to play along.
"Oh, by the way, if you walk around with the other women in the palace, you can try to find out more about the meteorite that landed in the Kunlun Empire …" An Lin continued.
Yang Lingqian was given a fright upon hearing this, and her features paled slightly. "Your target is that meteorite? Please don't be like this! Do you know how many top-tier powerful beings have died in the pursuit of that meteorite?! "
An Lin held onto Yang Lingqian's slightly trembling hand with an earnest expression. "Please trust me!"
Yang Lingqian panicked when she felt the warmth radiating from the back of her hand, and she nodded instinctively. "Alright … I trust you."
An Lin transformed into mist again and flew out the window.
It was now evening, and the sun was setting.
The Spring Light Palace of the Immortal King Palace was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The vibrant spring scenery of the day had transformed into a vibrant night scene that was just as dazzling and mesmerizing.
An Lin was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery. His main mission now was to find the Heavenly Dao fragment, and his secondary mission was to rescue the two thousand trapped beauties.
He had a harem of three thousand, but the system only wanted him to rescue two thousand beauties. It looked like some of the women who truly wanted to throw themselves at the Immortal King were excluded. If he really did rescue all of the harem, then the difficulty level would increase countless times.
No, even if he wanted to rescue two thousand beauties and make them develop feelings of fondness toward him, it would still be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. He had to think of a better way.
An Lin thought to himself as he stealthily made his way toward the core region of the Immortal King Palace.
The Heavenly Dao fragment was extremely important, so it had to be hidden in the most secretive place.
Cultivators from the Immortal King Palace came and went as they flew through the air.
An Lin encountered over a thousand cultivators at the Spirit Nurturing Stage or above along the way, and there were even three Return to Void Stage mighty figures among them. The harem was a fairly central place, and the area even more central than the harem was most likely the restricted area where Immortal King Feng Wuya cultivated!
"The tallest triangular pagoda over ten thousand feet tall in the center should be where the Immortal King Palace holds meetings. There are very rich vital energy fluctuations behind it, and the spiritual aura of heaven and earth is extremely concentrated there … That should be where the Immortal King cultivates." An Lin slowly approached the pagoda in his white mist form.
However, he soon stopped in his tracks.
An Lin continued to unleash his Divine Inspection Technique in order to keep an eye on the invisible restrictive spell formations around him. At this moment, there was a blue, spherical formation enshrouding a black, rectangular building.
Extremely terrifying energy fluctuations were emanating from that rectangular building.
"Not only is this an isolation barrier, but it's also a killing formation … Not only that, but if the spell formation is broken, it can also send out an alarm to the entire Immortal King Palace at an extremely fast speed …" An Lin's expression became grave for the first time. "Also, this formation has gathered the power of the entire Kun Lun City. That's the power of an entire nation, and if it were to erupt, its power would be truly unfathomable."
It wasn't that he couldn't break the formation, but if he did, he would immediately be discovered by Immortal King Feng Wuya, and a battle would be unavoidable. As such, the harem mission would become extremely difficult to complete.
Aside from that, Feng Wuya had countless backup plans in the Immortal King Palace, so An Lin couldn't guarantee victory. It would be best if he could drag Feng Wuya out of the Immortal King Palace for another battle.
"Now is not a good time to strike."
An Lin thought to himself for a moment before coming to a conclusion.
Just as he was surveying his surroundings, the blue formation suddenly tremored violently. Then, an opening appeared in a certain direction, from which a suffocating power surged forth in a frenzy.
A thin man in a black robe with slightly pale skin slowly made his way out.
His terrifying aura had only just proliferated before it was completely withdrawn. Each and every step he took created a black lotus flower on the ground, creating a beautiful sight to behold.
There were two Return to Void Stage exalted immortals beside the man.
One of them was a middle-aged man in a suit of colorful armor, and his aura was vast and powerful.
The other was an exquisitely beautiful woman with a seductive figure.
The woman pointed a finger at the air, and a series of portraits appeared in the air.
"Immortal King, you must be working hard in your cultivation. I've selected a few dozen outstanding newcomers for you. I hope you'll have a pleasant night," the woman said with a dainty smile.
The man's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked up at the images in the air before settling on three portraits.
An Lin's heart jolted with shock. He discovered that one of the portraits was none other than Yang Lingqian!
