744: A ghost looking for death

“Are you forcing me?”

Chu Ying's eyes flashed with a peculiar arc, finding Ximen Xiaoxue's character quite unyielding, and considering her the first woman he had ever encountered like this.

“Xiaoxue did not.”

Ximen Xiaoxue bit her tender red lips with her crystal-clear teeth, and the usually aloof and arrogant her now looked pitiful, gazing at Chu Ying with teary eyes.

She was like a resentful wife in her boudoir, begging her husband for affection and attention.

Chu Ying couldn't help but ponder.

But suddenly, Ximen Xiaoxue's face paled again, and the Glee Furnace Yin Yang Gu inside her body acted up once more, and it was more intense than any previous times.

It turned out that not long ago, Ximen Zongxuan had found a strong Cultivator from Paradise Palace.

...

“This damned Sword Qi! Abominable!”

Ximen Zongxuan was furious, his eyes filled with killing intent, rage, and a hint of underlying fear.

Looking back now, the Saint of the Dark God Cult, Ji Baizhuo, was already dead, yet he had survived, which he had to admit was a kind of luck.

The only hateful thing was that he had been ambushed and turned into a eunuch!

“If not for Paradise Palace’s special secret method, I'm afraid my Dao would have been cut off here. This person is truly malicious.”

Ximen Zongxuan thought resentfully. He had finally contacted a strong Cultivator from Paradise Palace.

An Transcendent Quasi-Emperor with a cultivation of Four Tribulations Quasi-emperor!

“Elder Yuan, I trouble you.” Ximen Zongxuan needed to heal his injuries first. He had to remove the Sword Qi from his body. That Sword Qi was too sharp, invincible, and with his strength, he simply couldn't dissolve it.

“Saint, rest assured, I will do my best.”

Elder Yuan nodded, very confident that with his cultivation as a Four Tribulations Quasi-emperor, it was impossible for him to fail to remove the Sword Qi of a young Cultivator, even the Sword Qi of Shu Mountain’s Saint, Xu Changqing, was nothing in his eyes.

However, when Elder Yuan officially began to investigate Ximen Zongxuan's condition, he realized how bad the situation was.

“Saint, who exactly unleashed this Sword Qi?”

Elder Yuan's brows were tightly furrowed, almost twisted into a knot. His face was extremely gloomy and fearful: “This kind of Sword Qi, regardless of its intensity, cannot be condensed even by a Sword Monarch.”

“Its sharpness is simply rare in the world. I once fought against an Extraordinary Sword Cultivator Quasi-emperor from Shu Mountain, but even their Sword Qi was far less than one ten-thousandth of this Sword Qi.”

“It's not difficult to force out this kind of Sword Qi; one can simply force it out with overwhelming power. But if one wants to eliminate it, if I hadn't been suppressed, I might have been able to try, but I cannot do it now.”

Elder Yuan's voice contained immense shock and horror, as well as a sense of powerlessness.

This made Ximen Zongxuan even more terrified.

Is that person really that powerful? If so… how can he get revenge? Even Elder Yuan cannot directly eliminate that Sword Qi, doesn't that mean even Elder Yuan is no match for him?

As if guessing Ximen Zongxuan’s thoughts, Elder Yuan said, “The reason for its sharpness could also be due to some terrifying sword technique, or a supreme divine weapon. If I were to face him, I wouldn't be afraid of him.”

After all, as an Transcendent Quasi-Emperor, Elder Yuan would never admit that he was inferior to a younger generation.

Upon hearing this, Ximen Zongxuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Subsequently, Elder Yuan indeed helped Ximen Zongxuan force out the remaining Sword Qi from his body. The Sword Qi floated in the Void Realm, its incredibly sharp aura causing fear.

“I still need to trouble Elder Yuan to help me retrieve my Cauldron Younger Sister.”

“Once I use a secret method to repair my Dao root, I can give her to Elder Yuan for cultivation.”

Ximen Zongxuan continued.

“Haha, Saint, rest assured, I will do my utmost.”

Thus, Ximen Zongxuan and Elder Yuan began searching for Ximen Xiaoxue, and Ximen Zongxuan used the Glee Furnace Yin Yang Gu to track her, finally finding Ximen Xiaoxue's location.

...

“Hahahaha! She's right here!”

Ximen Zongxuan and Elder Yuan rapidly approached. This time, with Elder Yuan's assistance, Ximen Zongxuan no longer feared that mysterious Sword Cultivator.

At this moment.

Seeing Ximen Xiaoxue's face suddenly turn pale and her body stagger as she was about to fall, Chu Ying instinctively helped her up.

Ximen Xiaoxue fell into Chu Ying's arms. She looked weak, her beautiful eyes gazing at Chu Ying, and she said with a sobbing voice:

“Young Master doesn't want to see me die, right?”

She was also full of grievance and helplessness, without anyone to rely on, as there was no one left in Paradise Palace and the Ximen Family whom she could trust.

Chu Ying's heart trembled, and he smiled: “Alright, no more crying.”

“I will protect you from now on.”

Upon hearing this, a joyful smile finally appeared on Ximen Xiaoxue's exquisite and aloof face.

Suddenly, Chu Ying embraced her waist and instantly vanished from the spot!

The next second, a cold and domineering attack struck, but unfortunately, it missed.

Chu Ying and Ximen Xiaoxue reappeared, staring unpleasantly at Ximen Zongxuan and Elder Yuan.

“They actually dodged it.”

Elder Yuan's brows furrowed, a little surprised, not expecting Chu Ying's reaction speed to be so fast.

“My dear Younger Sister, aren't you usually aloof, arrogant, and incomparable? How are you now so intimate with a strange man? It seems you are truly despicable!”

Ximen Zongxuan stared coldly at Ximen Xiaoxue, his eyes flashing with brutality and hatred. In his opinion, Ximen Xiaoxue was his reserved Cauldron, but now she was in the arms of another man, and that man was the one who had ruined his lifeblood!

This made him feel a vast expanse of green grassland on his head, which was very displeasing.

The moment Ximen Xiaoxue saw Ximen Zongxuan, a cold chill and killing intent also surged from her body.

“Beast!”

She angrily rebuked him with a cold voice, her killing intent infinitely strong.

Perhaps she was too angry, as Ximen Xiaoxue's tall and slender body was trembling.

Chu Ying gently patted her back and said warmly, “How about I kill this person for you?”

Ximen Xiaoxue looked at Chu Ying and nodded heavily: “Mm, I trust Young Master.”

Seeing the two of them so oblivious to their surroundings and even talking about killing him, Ximen Zongxuan was also enraged to the extreme.

“Elder Yuan, please suppress this person!”

“I want him to know the might of my Paradise Palace!”

With Elder Yuan, a Four Tribulations Quasi-emperor, by his side, Ximen Zongxuan felt very confident and cast aside the psychological shadow of Chu Ying killing the Saint of the Dark God Cult, Ji Baizhuo.

Elder Yuan snorted coldly, took a step forward, and stared intently at Chu Ying.

“Junior, offending my Paradise Palace will not end well!”

“If you don't want to die, hand her over, and perhaps I can spare your life!”

“Even if you come from some powerful Dao lineage, this is the Source Beginning Divine Mine, where heavenly secrets are isolated! Even if I kill you, the Dao lineage behind you will not notice the slightest!”

Elder Yuan roared coldly, his killing intent strong.

However, Chu Ying, listening to his words, suddenly looked up and burst into laughter:

“Hahahaha!”

“You're right, this place is indeed the Source Beginning Divine Mine!”

“Even if I kill you all, what can Paradise Palace do?”

Chu Ying's eyes showed killing intent as he looked at Ximen Zongxuan, smiling coldly and playfully: “Do you think I didn't kill you before because I couldn't kill you?”

Ximen Zongxuan immediately became extremely furious and went mad:

“You malicious scoundrel!”

“Elder Yuan, kill him!!”
