87: Chapter 87 Crimson Rainbows Travel Together, Unpredictable Turbulence

The next day.

Outside Donglin Fortress.

Under a peach blossom tree.

Xie Wantang's smile was as bright as the morning sun as she saw off Xu Changsheng and Crimson Rainbow.

Crimson Rainbow looked at the two of them with a sarcastic expression.

"What? Don't you two as husband and wife have anything to say?"

Xie Wantang smiled gently, "No, everything that needed to be said was already told to Husband Xu last night."

Seeing her satisfied look, Crimson Rainbow seemed to realize something.

Xu Changsheng asked in confusion, "Tanger, why do you want me to travel with Fairy Ni? Is it such a coincidence that she is also going to Yellow Ox Immortal City?"

Before Xie Wantang could reply.

Crimson Rainbow stepped forward huffily, "Of course. The Sect suddenly ordered me to go to Yellow Ox Immortal City to deliver a message to Yellow Ox, otherwise why would I go to that place?"

She took out a palm-sized earthy-yellow jade plaque, "Look, this is the token."

Xu Changsheng noticed it was similar to the token Chu Linger had given him and nodded.

She then let out a cold snort:

"Is traveling with this lady so beneath you?"

"My Immortal Cave receives hundreds of love letters every day. The male Disciples in the Sect who want to travel with me could probably wrap around the Sect half a dozen times. If you are unwilling, then we can just go our separate ways."

Xu Changsheng cupped his hands in apology, "Of course not. With Fairy Ni's beauty that could eclipse the moon and shame the flowers, how could I be unwilling? I was just a bit confused earlier."

He was actually quite willing to travel with Crimson Rainbow.

On one hand, her strength was great, and she could help him deal with Yao Beast attacks along the way.

On the other hand, following her as a member of the Jinyang Sect to enter the Immortal City could avoid some issues related to travel permits.

"Hmph."

Crimson Rainbow looked at Xie Wantang with a proud air.

"By the way, Sister Tang, are you really that at ease letting your sweetheart go with me? Aren't you afraid I'll kidnap him?"

Xie Wantang burst into laughter, "It would be for the best if you did, saving him from taking advantage of me in the future."

Xu Changsheng touched his chin, "Fairy Ni, please stop teasing me."

"Hehe, let's set off then!"

Crimson Rainbow shook a bell and took out a Crimson Flying Boat.

She gracefully flew onto the bow.

Xu Changsheng also stepped leisurely onto the stern.

Accompanied by flashes of red light, it slowly rose and disappeared into the horizon within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Only Xie Wantang's sigh remained.

...

Half a day later.

Above Donglin Fortress.

Xiao Tongguang was accompanying his favorite concubine, arriving on a crane.

Walking on the streets of Donglin Fortress, looking at the collapsed houses on both sides and the scene of devastation.

Su Xiaojing covered her mouth with one hand and hugged Xiao Tongguang's thick, sturdy arm with the other.

"Husband, it seems a fierce battle really took place here."

Xiao Tongguang nodded, "The Xie Family is almost here. Xu Changsheng, right? I didn't expect that the Junior I met once in the Withered Wood Secret Realm would be the former Dao Companion you can't forget."

Su Xiaojing lightly pinched with her fingertips, expressing her dissatisfaction, "What 'can't forget'? He and I have long since severed all ties."

"In that case, why bother with him anymore? With my support, your hope of Foundation Establishment is not small. In a hundred years, he will have turned into a handful of yellow earth, while you and I will still be free and easy."

"Husband, I was made to suffer so much by him back then, I almost couldn't enter the Sect."

She shook Xiao Tongguang's Daoist robe, "I have no other wish but to see him dead. Is such a simple request something you can't fulfill, Husband?"

Xiao Tongguang couldn't resist her pillow talk, "Fine, fine, since I promised you, I will naturally keep my word."

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the Xie Family's grounds.

He was slowly releasing his pressure, intending to intimidate them.

But then he saw Xie Wantang, her face covered with a light veil and her hair styled in a round bun, just returning.

He recognized this woman.

His Divine Sense swept over Xie Wantang and found that she was already a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He immediately showed a look of surprise, "Fairy Xie, you've reached Foundation Establishment?"

At this moment, even through the veil, one could feel that Xie Wantang's temperament had improved significantly compared to her time in the Qi Refinement Stage.

However, seeing the high bun, Xiao Tongguang's heart sank. This meant that Xie Wantang was already married.

Her Dao Companion was likely also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He didn't dare to provoke two Cultivators of the same rank at the same time.

Xie Wantang gave a slight bow, "Yes, I was fortunate enough to succeed in Foundation Establishment a few days ago."

Noticing Su Xiaojing, who was close to Xiao Tongguang, her beautiful eyes turned cold.

Her Foundation Establishment pressure loomed over them, and the latter was so frightened that she hid behind Xiao Tongguang.

"Is Fellow Daoist Xiao here to find Xu Changsheng?"

Xiao Tongguang looked surprised, "How did Fairy Xie know? Do you know where he is now?"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao needn't bother. Guest Official Xu has already left the Xie Family, and I don't know where he is either."

Xiao Tongguang tried to ask a few more questions but found he couldn't get any information out of Xie Wantang, so he had to leave with Su Xiaojing.

...

That night.

The moon was dark and the wind was high.

Behind the Xie Family's ancestral grounds.

Inside a remote room.

Two people arrived silently.

"Who's there!"

The Xie Family Elder, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating, didn't even have time to react before being killed by Xiao Tongguang.

The latter grabbed with his large hand, and countless wisps of black Qi flew out from the old man's seven orifices.

Blood seeped from his eyes.

Soul Search!

Finally, he threw him onto the bed and closed his eyes.

Su Xiaojing stepped forward urgently, "Husband, how is it?"

"He went to Yellow Ox Immortal City. This will be difficult."

Su Xiaojing's face twisted in the moonlight, "Then make it happen!"

Hearing this.

Xiao Tongguang grabbed her throat, "Who do you think you are? You dare command me?"

He didn't let her go until she was almost out of breath.

"Don't worry. Although Yellow Ox Immortal City is powerful and not under the control of the Chixiao Sect, I have a friend there who is more than enough to deal with Xu Changsheng in the city."

...

At this moment.

Thousands of miles away.

The former Liuyun Market had been occupied by the Lai Family.

The Prefects Mansion was now guarded by Lai Tianxiang on rotation.

However, in the hall today.

The newly advanced Foundation Establishment Lai Tianxiang, who was famous in the Ancient Wood Mountain Range, did not have his usual prestige.

A flattering smile was squeezed onto his handsome face as he looked not far ahead.

The dragon throne in the main hall was occupied by a woman dressed in black with a black mask.

He pointed to a gloomy-looking, tall, thin middle-aged man behind him.

"This is the Chief Imperial Portrait Artist of Liuyun Market. All the wanted posters in the market are his work."

"Including the famous evil Cultivator Lu Yuanze, the Black Fiend Twin Eagles, and so on."

"No matter whose appearance it is, as long as he has seen it once, he can draw it exactly as it is."

At this moment, his heart was pounding wildly, and he was terrified.

Because the cultivation of the black-clothed woman in front of him was far deeper than his; she had subdued him with just a glance.

Her cultivation was at least at the Golden Core stage or above.

If handled poorly, not only would the momentum the Lai Family had worked so hard to build be lost, but they might even face the disaster of extermination.

He lamented inwardly, "How did the Lai Family attract such a harbinger of doom!"

The black-clothed woman's fingers tapped on the armrest.

"My master has a sweetheart whom she thinks of day and night, making it hard to sleep."

"Master?" Lai Tianxiang's heart shook. What kind of person could actually command the mysterious woman before him?

Just who could it be?

Without time to think, Lai Tianxiang stepped forward and asked respectfully, "May I ask what the name of Senior's master's sweetheart is?"

"His name is Xu Changsheng."
