95: Xiao Yuechan's despair awakens the Immortal Abode!

However, when Lu Yuan saw the third purple intelligence, the smile in his eyes instantly turned into a cold, icy glint.

"Gu Changge..."

"You left after setting up the Formation? It seems you are very confident in your Forbidden Ground, or perhaps, you simply do not care about your cousin's life or death, treating her merely as an object."

"That's perfect; it saves me from having to divide my attention to deal with you when I make my move."

"Since you want to use your cousin as a key, then I will gladly accept this key."

Lu Yuan moved, activating the Fourth Transformation Law of Space, and instantly vanished from where he stood.

...

Rakshasa Kingdom, Heavenly Demon Sect's rear mountain Forbidden Ground.

Nether Cold Prison.

This place was covered in eternal profound ice all year round, the cold air biting to the bone, capable of freezing even the Soul.

Deep within the Cold Prison, an incredibly beautiful young girl wearing a pale blue flowing immortal dress was suspended in mid-air, nine black chains engraved with eerie demonic runes piercing through her limbs and bones.

She was none other than the Heavenly Demon Sect Saintess, Xiao Yuechan.

Her beauty was peerless, her temperament as cold and aloof as an iceberg snow lotus; even trapped here, she could not hide that ethereal aura.

However, her once clear eyes were now filled with endless pain and despair.

Just an hour ago.

Her most trusted and beloved cousin, Gu Changge, had personally brought her here and locked her up using this cruel Nine Yin Absolute Vein Formation.

"Cousin, for your brother's Dao path, your sacrifice is worth it."

Gu Changge's cold and heartless words still echoed in her ears, like a sharp knife, shredding her heart to pieces.

Following his departure, the Formation began to operate on its own.

Hum! Hum!

The nine chains emitted a faint black light, like greedy venomous snakes, beginning to drain the vitality and Origin from her body bit by bit.

This pain went deep into her marrow. But what hurt more than her body was her heart.

"Why..."

Xiao Yuechan's tears had long since run dry, and her eyes were left with only ash.

She had once thought she was the happiest woman in the world, being able to stay by the side of that brilliant and talented cousin.

She even fantasized about one day becoming his Dao Companion, accompanying him as he ruled the world.

But now she understood that in his eyes, she was nothing more than a tool, a key, a stepping stone that could be discarded at any time.

"Gu Changge... I hate you..."

She murmured weakly, her consciousness gradually blurring.

Just when she thought she was about to die so miserably.

Swish!

The originally sealed and dead-silent Cold Prison space suddenly rippled with a strange disturbance.

A figure in green robes appeared out of thin air on the ice platform without any warning.

It was Lu Yuan, who had infiltrated using the Law of Space.

He glanced at Xiao Yuechan, who was being tortured to the brink of death, and without saying much, condensed a brilliant silver sword beam at his fingertips.

Clang!

The Panhuang Void Sword Intent erupted.

There was no sound, and it did not disturb any Restrictions outside.

The nine demon-runed chains, which even Soul Transformation Cultivators could not struggle free from, snapped like tofu before this Sword Intent containing the power of spatial cutting.

Xiao Yuechan lost her support, and her body fell weakly.

Lu Yuan stepped forward and steadily caught her in his arms.

Feeling that strange yet warm embrace, Xiao Yuechan struggled to open her eyes; in her blurred vision, she only saw a handsome and indifferent face.

"Who... are you?"

"The person who is saving you."

Lu Yuan's voice was calm.

"Saving me? Why... this is the Heavenly Demon Sect Forbidden Ground..." Xiao Yuechan's voice was as weak as a thread, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Because you still have value; you should not die here."

Lu Yuan spoke bluntly, his voice carrying a convincing power: "Instead of dying at the hands of this heartless man, you might as well follow me. Perhaps one day, you can personally make him pay the price and make him regret his actions today."

Hearing the words "heartless man", a spark of hatred suddenly ignited in Xiao Yuechan's previously dead-ash eyes.

That's right.

I am not resigned!

I gave him everything, yet I got this outcome! I want revenge! I want to make him regret it!

"Take me away..."

She used her last bit of strength to tightly grab Lu Yuan's lapels, as if clutching the last straw of hope.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

He did not rush to leave, but raised his hand again.

"Blood Law, Condense!"

The Fourth Transformation Blood Law operated.

The pools of blood on the ground instantly began to squirm, and under Lu Yuan's control, they quickly condensed into a shriveled, withered female corpse.

Whether it was the figure, appearance, or the lingering Beiming Ice Soul Body aura, this female corpse was identical to Xiao Yuechan after her Origin was exhausted.

After doing all this, Lu Yuan held the real Xiao Yuechan, tore through the Void Realm again, and disappeared silently from the Cold Prison.

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully intercepting the Son of Destiny Gu Changge's purple Opportunity, the Beiming Ice Soul Body, triggering a hundredfold critical hit return: Guanghan Immortal Token (Immortal Mansion Key)]

Lu Yuan was in the Void Realm channel, and hearing this System prompt, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Guanghan Immortal Token!

With this item, it was equivalent to having the authority to enter the Guanghan Immortal Mansion.

...

After leaving the Heavenly Demon Sect's territory, Lu Yuan found a secluded place and used the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Technique to help Xiao Yuechan stabilize her injuries.

Looking at this woman who was already obedient to him and whose eyes held only hatred for Gu Changge, Lu Yuan knew that this was not just a key, but an assistant with unlimited potential.

"Your name is Xiao Yuechan?"

Lu Yuan asked, knowing the answer.

"Yes, Senior." Xiao Yuechan lowered her head, her expression respectful but tinged with desolation.

"From now on, you are my, Lu Yuan's, person."

"I will take you to a place; there lies your Opportunity, and it is also the beginning of your revenge."

"Lu Yuan... Azure Cloud Sect Old Ancestor?"

Xiao Yuechan's heart was shaken; although she was in the Demon Sect, she had heard of this new giant of the Righteous Path.

She did not expect that the person who saved her would be him.

"Yuechan is willing to follow Senior to the death!"

Xiao Yuechan knelt down to salute without hesitation; now, she had nothing left but the person before her.

...

Half a day later.

Lu Yuan first returned to the Azure Cloud Sect and brought along Gu Qingxue, who also needed the Taiyin Opportunity.

Afterwards, the three crossed the territories and arrived at the Northern Cold Dao Domain adjacent to the Eastern Wilderness.

This was a land of extreme cold covered in ice and snow all year round, with cold winds howling and everything frozen.

In the deepest part of the far northern ice plains, a magnificent ice crystal palace loomed, emitting an ancient and sacred aura.

Guanghan Immortal Mansion!

Lu Yuan brought the two women and descended before the gate of the Immortal Mansion.

"Husband, is this the Guanghan Immortal Mansion?"

Gu Qingxue looked at the tightly closed ice crystal gate, feeling the rich Taiyin Law fluctuations within, and the Supreme Yin Body in her body involuntarily produced a trace of yearning.

"Correct."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly and flipped his palm.

Hum!

A token that was crystal clear throughout and emitted a blinding cold light appeared in his hand.

It was the Guanghan Immortal Token returned by the System.
