Ever since Lin Xuan sacrificed the Daqian dynasty six years ago, the Five Paths of the Demonic Abyss and the Path of the Divine Lotus had completely parted ways. Shui Qianxun had also been transferred back to the Southern Wasteland. Since then, the two of them had never met.
Although the Path of the Divine Lotus had spies all over the world, their infiltration of the Five Paths of the Demonic Abyss was limited. Therefore, Lin Xuan did not know what had happened to Shui Qianxun over the past few years.
They had not contacted each other for a few years. Lin Xuan was somewhat unsure if Shui Qianxun still had feelings for him.
After all, people's hearts were fickle. For people in the martial arts world, feelings were often not the most important thing. They could even be seen as a weakness.
"Junior, why aren't you saying anything?"
Shui Qianxun's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion. She seemed to be slightly disgusted by her junior, Ling Yunhe, who kept staring at her.
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and decided to reveal his identity. No matter what Shui Qianxun was thinking, he had to give it a try.
"Qianxun, long time no see."
Lin Xuan smiled gently. His face gradually changed, revealing his original appearance.
Shui Qianxun's delicate body trembled. She looked at Lin Xuan in surprise. Her small mouth opened so wide that it could fit an egg. She said in disbelief, "Lin Xuan, why are you here?"
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I'm also very surprised to see you here …"
Shui Qianxun immediately came back to her senses. She looked around nervously and interrupted Lin Xuan said, "Don't say anything. Hurry up and disguise your appearance. Come with me!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and left in a hurry.
Lin Xuan smiled slightly and changed back to Ling Yunhe's appearance. He followed Shui Qianxun from a distance and walked away from the Demon Sealing Ravine.
Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief as he could tell from Shui Qianxun's behavior that she still had him in her heart.
Lin Xuan followed behind Shui Qianxun. He was in a good mood, especially when he admired the beautiful woman's graceful figure. It was pleasing to the eye.
En, after not seeing this lass for a few years, not only did her cultivation increase greatly, she even entered the early level of the Heavenly Transformation Realm. Her figure seemed to have become fuller as well. She no longer looked like a young girl. Instead, she looked like a ripe peach, delicious and alluring.
As for whether or not Shui Qianxun would harm him, Lin Xuan was not worried at all. This was because he had already observed his martial fate and did not notice any danger.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, gradually increased their speed. After traveling for more than a hundred miles, the two of them entered a small valley that was shrouded in clouds and mist.
The sky above the valley was covered by an illusory formation, so it was not easy to be discovered. However, after entering, one would realize that the area was not small. There were rows of tents and wooden houses. Occasionally, one could see a few temporary buildings that were surrounded by restrictions.
Obviously, this was a temporary camp of the Enchanted Road.
There were experts guarding the entrance of the valley. Occasionally, some Enchanted Road disciples could be seen coming and going in the valley, but it was very quiet.
"Saintess!"
"Saintess!"
Some disciples who passed by all bowed respectfully when they saw Shui Qianxun.
Shui Qianxun slowed down and nodded at the crowd. She walked straight to a small building at the end of the valley.
However, Lin Xuan's face gradually showed a trace of doubt. Those Enchanted Road disciples were very respectful to Shui Qianxun, but the way they looked at him, the "Ling Yunhe", was very strange. There was a hint of pity and schadenfreude in their eyes.
When the two of them entered the small building, Shui Qianxun immediately sent away a few servants who were cleaning the place. Then, she set up a restriction.
After that, Shui Qianxun let out a long sigh of relief. She pulled down her veil, turned around, and looked at Lin Xuan with a complicated expression.
Lin Xuan was about to speak when he suddenly realized that Shui Qianxun's forehead was covered in cold sweat. There was a trace of lingering fear on her beautiful face.
"Qianxun, what's wrong?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
Shui Qianxun turned into a shadow and instantly threw herself into Lin Xuan's arms. She hugged Lin Xuan tightly and murmured, "You scared me to death! You scared me to death! Thank goodness you're fine! "
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he could not help but smile. He opened his arms and hugged the beautiful woman tightly. "What's going on? Do you have to be so nervous?"
Shui Qianxun rolled her eyes and glared at Lin Xuan fiercely. She scolded, "Lin Xuan, are you crazy?! Do you know how valuable your life is right now? Do you know where you are right now? Do you believe that once your identity is exposed, you won't be able to walk out of the Southern Wasteland alive even if you have nine lives?! "
"Huh?"
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled disapprovingly and said, "From what you're saying, are you saying that this is a tiger's den?"
Shui Qianxun fiercely pinched Lin Xuan's waist. She gritted her teeth and said, "You bastard! How dare you not take it seriously! Let me tell you, this is a tiger's den right now. No, it's a thousand times more dangerous than a tiger's den!
The place where you and I met just now had at least a hundred Divine-Tier cultivators hidden around. You're really lucky that you didn't give yourself away! "
"Oh?"
Lin Xuan's face finally showed a hint of seriousness.
He had already used the luck observation ability to observe the surroundings. There were indeed countless experts hidden within a hundred miles of the Demon Sealing Ravine.
However, those people hid their auras very well. Lin Xuan could not detect their cultivation bases.
Now that he heard Shui Qianxun say that there were over a hundred Divine-Tier cultivators hidden around the Demon Sealing Ravine, he was indeed a little surprised.
Of course, he was just a little surprised.
He definitely could not defeat over a hundred Divine-Tier cultivators. However, if he wanted to escape, he would not be afraid even if the number of Divine-Tier cultivators doubled.
But no matter what, he was still very touched by the beauty's concern. He unconsciously tightened his arms around the beauty.
"Qianxun, how have you been these past few years?"
"It's been alright. It's just that a lot of things have happened in the past few years. There were many internal conflicts in the sect. Many of my fellow sect members died in the scuffle. Even my master was seriously injured …"
Shui Qianxun pressed her face against Lin Xuan's chest. She listened to her sweetheart's heartbeat and smelled his scent. Her small face was flushed, and she looked extremely adorable.
However, perhaps because she had experienced too many unforeseen events, her beautiful eyes could not hide a trace of hesitation and exhaustion. At this moment, in the arms of her sweetheart, she seemed to have shed all her pretense of being strong and looked somewhat pitiful.
"Since you're not living well, why don't you look for me? As your man, I have the responsibility to let you live a carefree life. Moreover, I have the ability to do so. "Lin Xuan stroked the beauty's hair tenderly.
Shui QianXun shook her head and sighed helplessly. "In life, there are always many things that one can't do. My family and my master are all in the Enchanted Demon Road. They are very good to me. I can't just ignore them."
Lin Xuan was silent.
In life, there were indeed too many fetters.
At this moment, Shui Qianxun suddenly thought of something. She raised her head and asked, "Lin Xuan, did you kill Ling Yun He?"
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and admitted frankly, "Yes, I didn't know he was your junior brother …"
Shui Qianxun shook her head and said, "You don't have to explain. If you killed him, then so be it. Ling Yun He wasn't a good person anyway.
The reason why my master was controlled in the past had a lot to do with him. The reason why I arranged for him to patrol the periphery was that I didn't want to see him. I hoped that he would die outside.
However, if you appear as him, I'm afraid that you will attract some unnecessary trouble. The Ling family is the second most powerful family in the Enchanted Road. You have to be more careful. "
"I'll be careful."
Lin Xuan nodded and asked, "What's going on with your master being controlled?"
Shui Qianxun's master was the master of the Enchanted Road. She was also a powerful figure. Lin Xuan was a little surprised that such a strong martial artist was controlled.
Shui Qianxun said with some indignation, "Over the years, the Slave Faction of the Imperial Dao Slaves and the Ji Faction have been fighting more and more fiercely. My master was originally a member of the Ji Faction and was loyal to the descendants of the Emperor. But four years ago, my master fell into the Slave Faction's trap and was controlled. She had no choice but to lead the sect to join the Slave Faction. In the past few years, many elders of the sect have died in the Slave Faction's purge. Everyone in the sect is in danger. "
Lin Xuan suddenly understood. No wonder the Demon Abyss had fallen to such a state. It turned out that the internal strife of the Imperial Dao Slaves had begun a long time ago.
He asked, "Do you know who is in charge of the Slave Faction?"
Shui Qianxun said, "It should be the mysterious Mister Ning. I heard from my master that the Imperial Dao Slaves were severely injured by the Chaos Temple last year. More than half of the upper echelons died, and even several peerless masters died. Mister Ning was not on that mountain at that time, so he was lucky not to be affected. "
Lin Xuan's face was a little dignified. That Mister Ning, named Ning Shidao, was really a terrible person.
Except for Ji Yuanxiu, who controlled the Emperor's Sword, Ning Shidao was probably the strongest person in the True Martial Realm.
Lin Xuan could not help but feel a lingering fear when he thought that he had been targeted by Ning Shidao.
Now, even if the Imperial Dao Slaves were crippled, Lin Xuan did not dare to underestimate this huge force.
At this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly felt that his time was actually very tight. He had to have the power to protect himself before the Imperial Dao Slaves were reunited.
Otherwise, when Ning Shidao was free, he was afraid that he would not let him go.
Shui Qianxun looked at Lin Xuan, who was deep in thought, and said with concern, "Lin Xuan, you still haven't told me why you are here! You know that you have heaven-defying luck, but you still dare to run around. Don't you know that there are countless people who have their eyes on you? "
Lin Xuan said with a smile, "I came here because of Ji Wenfeng's invitation to be a guest at the Flame Devil Road."
Shui Qianxun was stunned, and said in surprise, "Ji Wenfeng invited you? Are you planning to participate in the battle for the successor of the Ji Family? "
"What do you mean? Ji Wenfeng only said to let me come, but did not tell me the details. "Lin Xuan said doubtfully.
Shui Qianxun's beautiful brows knit together lightly as she explained. "According to the report of our spies that snuck into Devilseal Gorge, the Ji Clan will hold a Ji Clan Meeting five days from now to select a successor from the younger generation of the Ji Clan.
Ji Wenfeng and Ji Xueyan should both be strong contenders. They invited you because they want you to help them fight for the Human Emperor's Sword Seal. "
Lin Xuan said in surprise, "How can the Ji Family allow outsiders to interfere in the selection of a successor? What can I do to help?"
Shui Qianxun said with a smile, "You don't know, but if you want to inherit the Imperial Sword Seal, you need to consider many things. The requirements for the successor are very strict and harsh.
According to past experience, the Ji Family's candidates need to participate in the tests and trials left behind by the Human Emperor. During this process, they may need helpers.
Lin Xuan, although many people see you as an evil demon, you are also a world-renowned peerless genius. More importantly, you have supreme luck. If you help, Ji Wenfeng and Ji Xueyan's chances of winning will increase greatly.
This is also a good thing for you, because if you can participate in the Human Emperor's test, even if you are not of the Ji Family's bloodline, you will still obtain some unexpected benefits.
