178: Chapter 178 I was tricked

"Leave the rest to me."

Ye Xuan took over the controls of the dunkong shuttle and headed towards Sword Immortal Peak. Looking at Wang Mengqi, who appeared somewhat lost behind him, he smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Master will like you."

On the other side, he also responded to Xian Linglong: "Sister Linglong, have you been to Cangqiong Holy Land before?"

However, he received no reply for a long time, but they had already arrived at Sword Immortal Peak.

As soon as they landed on Sword Immortal Peak, Qingluan hung onto Ye Xuan's neck like a kangaroo, rubbing against him.

"Senior Brother, you're finally back!"

"Little Moon, alright, alright, stop rubbing." Ye Xuan patted Qingluan's perky bottom and pulled her off his body.

"This is a gift Senior Brother brought for you. Take a look."

Ye Xuan just remembered that he still had the candied haws in his spirit ring, so he took them out and stuffed them into Qingluan's hands.

"Wow, Senior Brother, I thought you had forgotten."

Seeing the candied haws, Qingluan couldn't wait to eat them. Her chest swelled up a bit, clearly very happy.

"Oh? This little junior sister of yours has an extraordinary physique too. Supreme Sword Immortal Body? Interesting, interesting."

Xian Linglong, who had intended to go back to sleep, spoke again in a voice only Ye Xuan could hear.

"That goes without saying!"

"Senior Brother, who is she?" Qingluan only then noticed the woman in blue standing behind Ye Xuan. A hint of vigilance appeared in her beautiful eyes. She even put down the candied haws in her mouth and tightly hugged Ye Xuan's arm, just like a cat protecting its food.

Before Ye Xuan could introduce her, a voice came from the horizon. The elegant and ethereal Master Shen Xi returned to Sword Immortal Peak.

"Hm? You brought back another woman? Her physique?" Master Shen Xi was a bit surprised, then immediately looked at Ye Xuan: "Rebellious disciple, come to the third floor immediately. Master has something to ask you."

"Her name is Wang Mengqi, she is your senior sister. Little Moon, you take your senior sister to familiarize herself with Sword Immortal Peak first." Ye Xuan said briefly, then rushed to the third floor of the small pavilion where Master Shen Xi was located.

"Master, disciple has returned. I really missed you!"

However, Master Shen Xi was sitting cross-legged on her bed, her aura somewhat cold, and she did not answer Ye Xuan's greeting.

"Tenth Heaven of the Saint Realm? Near the level of a Great Emperor. Why does her aura not resemble that of the human race? It's a bit like the clansmen of the Ancient Dragon God... Tsk tsk, such beauty..."

Xian Linglong in his sea of consciousness immediately became much more alert. She couldn't even be bothered to continue sleeping. To actually encounter a suspected descendant of the Ancient Dragon God from the ancient era, her beautiful eyes filled with both confusion and shock.

"Pretty Boy, tell me, how did you provoke Murong Liyue?" The coldness in Master Shen Xi's voice increased by several degrees. Her voice carried many emotions, making it impossible to fathom.

Xian Linglong in his sea of consciousness felt like she was eating melon. A woman of such powerful strength, with an Eternal Dao Foundation that reached the Saint Realm in just twenty years of age, actually had those kinds of thoughts about her own disciple. It was truly too interesting.

"Um, Master, listen to my explanation. How could I have provoked Murong Liyue? It was clearly that little chubby girl hiding in the shadows, wanting to ambush me... I taught her a lesson..."

Ye Xuan knew he had to tell the truth at this moment and could not say a single word of lie.

"Oh? Then why did the old saint of the Murong Family come to Sword Immortal Peak, saying he wanted Murong Liyue to marry you? Pretty Boy, what do you think?"

"This, Master, disciple's cultivation has not yet reached the level, so how dare I find a wife so quickly? Please don't listen to Saint Murong's nonsense. Disciple only wants to protect Master by your side for a lifetime!"

Ye Xuan felt the coldness in his lower body and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, attempting to absolve himself.

"Oh? I'll let you pass!"

This time, the cold tone in Master Shen Xi's voice dissipated quite a bit. She saw through Ye Xuan's little schemes at a glance.

"The woman you brought back, you want Master to take her in, right?"

"Yes, Master is right. Miss Mengqi possesses the Medicine Spirit Divine Body. Our Sword Immortal Peak is so big, wouldn't it be better to have another alchemy genius?"

Master Shen Xi nodded upon hearing this, feeling that what this rebellious disciple said was very correct.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Xuan took a step closer, sat cross-legged opposite Master Shen Xi, and then took off the jade pendant containing the Immortal Mansion from his neck.

"Master, do you still remember the ancient Great Emperor remnant soul I told you about last time? Inside this hides the remnant soul of an ancient Alchemy Emperor. Disciple was almost possessed by him before and never had the chance to tell you, Master. This time, I went out to train specifically to deal with the old monster inside here."

"Oh?" Master Shen Xi's eyes became several degrees sharper, and she reached out to take the Immortal Mansion jade pendant.

At this moment, even Xian Linglong in Ye Xuan's sea of consciousness appeared extremely surprised. She hadn't noticed that the plain-looking jade pendant on Ye Xuan's neck was actually an Immortal Mansion.

Inside was hiding her admirer, the remnant soul of the ancient Alchemy Emperor Xinghe.

"Heh, this kid is really a slippery one. No wonder he kept asking about my relationship with Xinghe before. No wonder."

Only now did Xian Linglong understand the meaning behind the questions Ye Xuan had asked.

However, this was the vigilance that every strong person should possess. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't easily reveal all their trump cards the first time.

To be honest, the melon Xian Linglong ate today was really sweet. A master-disciple romance!

The disciple's appearance was peerless, and the Master's beauty was unprecedented throughout the ages; I fear a single glance could make all men in the world fall for her.

"Ancient Alchemy Emperor remnant soul? Such audacity, to dare to possess my disciple!" After listening, Master Shen Xi's expression changed. The aura around her, infinitely close to that of a Great Emperor, instantly erupted, causing space to shatter.

"Having lived in hiding for hundreds of thousands of years, it is time for you to go to hell!"

Master Shen Xi's divine sense, far exceeding that of a Saint, instantly rushed into the Immortal Mansion. In less than three seconds, she locked onto the location of the remnant soul Xinghe. The latter was lying on a mysterious jade bed inside the Immortal Mansion, looking completely bewildered as he was grabbed out by a large hand made of divine sense.

"You!" Xinghe was filled with terror. Seeing Ye Xuan, a look of anger appeared on his face: "It was actually you, you little brat..."

"When did this Emperor ever possess this brat..."

"Spare me, this Venerable is willing to bring out all my opportunities. I beg you to spare me!"

Seeing Master Shen Xi's terrifying aura, Xinghe was ultimately afraid. He didn't even dare to speak harsh words, and a pleading look appeared on his face.

Ye Xuan did not speak this time. Death was the best ending for the remnant soul of Xinghe.

In the cultivation world, there is no right or wrong, only different stances.

"Soul Suppression Art!" With a single thought from Master Shen Xi, the Great Emperor-level secret technique was activated.

"Ah... You, Soul Suppression Art, how do you have the Soul Suppression Art!?"

Xinghe's shapeless remnant soul instantly became much more illusory, and a ferocious expression appeared on his handsome face.

"Is this the Soul Suppression Art? It's much more powerful than my Devouring Secret Technique." Ye Xuan muttered in his heart, watching the miserable state of the remnant soul Xinghe.

"Damn it, damn it, you forced me to do this!"

Seeing that there was no hope for survival, the remnant soul Xinghe instantly burned his soul power. Using his last bit of Great Emperor power, he cast one of the most vicious ancient curses upon Master Shen Xi—Nine Immortals Falling into the Red Dust.

"Young Master, hee hee hee... Come... come play..."

A pink, infatuating scene permeated the air, bombarding Master Shen Xi's divine soul.
