167: Chapter 167 Li Qingxuan is dead!

Hearing those words, Chen Yan looked down.

Only then did he realize his hand was still resting on his Revered Master's waist, unconsciously and gently caressing it.

Even through the thin gauze, he could feel his Revered Master's warm body temperature.

It was soft, making it hard for one to pull away.

[Favorability +5!]

[Leng Qingshuang's Favorability: 92!]

Chen Yan: "(*❦ω❦)"

Revered Master is still saying one thing but feeling another~~~

She clearly enjoys it, yet she always has to act reserved!

With favorability breaking past 90, can 100 be far off?

Chen Yan's heart instantly bloomed with joy, and he was just about to further turn up the emotional heat with his Revered Master.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, a light cough came from the side.

This sound gave the Revered Master and disciple, who were immersed in an ambiguous and tender atmosphere, quite a fright!

The two were instantly dumbfounded!

Chen Yan: 'Damn! Why are these old geezers still here?'

Leng Qingshuang: 'Wait? Why are there still people nearby?'

She let out a soft moan and buried her head in Chen Yan's neck, too ashamed to face anyone!

Lu Lingdan gently twirled his small mustache, looking gratified.

Lu Lingyun stood by the bed with an even more curious look, her eyes shining as they darted back and forth between Chen Yan and Leng Qingshuang.

The fire of gossip was burning brightly!

An audacious male disciple pinning down his cold, aloof, and beautiful Revered Master.

This story script seems like it'll be a great read~

Oh~ Ho ho ho~

I have a new story to write!

The siblings glanced at each other and ultimately didn't plan to continue being third wheels.

With great tacit understanding, they turned around.

"I suddenly remembered I have a furnace of Medicinal Pills that I haven't turned the fire off for!"

"My Immortal Cave seems to be on fire!"

One after the other, they left with beaming smiles.

"At least they know when to make themselves scarce!"

Chen Yan was thinking happily when he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

In his arms, the spiritual energy in Leng Qingshuang's body suddenly began to surge frantically.

Her originally shattered Dao Heart had already been perfectly repaired under the effects of the nine-turn nirvana pill!

The hidden dangers in her Physical Body were completely eliminated.

Following that, streaks of golden light flowed back from her limbs and bones into her Dantian!

"Revered Master, you..."

Chen Yan's eyes widened.

He could clearly feel Leng Qingshuang's cultivation level skyrocketing.

From the initial Golden Core Stage, it was rapidly climbing!

Nascent Soul... Soul Transformation... Dharma Idol... Dao Integration... Mahayana!

In just a few breaths, Leng Qingshuang's cultivation returned to the Peak of the Mahayana Stage.

It was even thirty percent stronger than her original cultivation!

Boom!

The Wind Spirit Mark on Leng Qingshuang's forehead suddenly began to flicker, and strands of clear wind frantically poured into her brow!

Hum~

The Wind Spirit Intent Domain silently unfolded.

It swept over Chen Yan's body and quietly expanded outwards!

Until it enveloped the entire Ninth Peak mountain!

Within the Domain, countless Wind Spirit Swords moved in crisscrossing patterns, like soldiers following strict orders.

With just a single thought from Leng Qingshuang, she could instantly kill everything!

Chen Yan silently felt the terrifying power of the Wind Spirit Intent and had an intuition.

Even if his own Sword Domain was fully deployed, it still wouldn't be able to last even a second against the Wind Spirit Intent!

His Revered Master's Wind Spirit Intent was an absolute suppression against him!

It wasn't about attributes; it was about comprehension!

Suddenly!

Rumble!

Above the Ninth Peak, dark clouds suddenly gathered, and countless lightning clouds frantically converged toward Shuanghua Villa!

In the blink of an eye, the Ninth Peak was covered in darkness!

Leng Qingshuang looked up, her willow-like brows furrowing slightly, seemingly unsurprised by the appearance of these Tribulation Clouds.

The mark on her forehead flashed, and her aura began to retract rapidly.

Her aura, which was already at the Peak of Mahayana and faintly showing signs of breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, instantly dropped!

Finally, it stabilized at the Early Stage of Mahayana!

Crash~

In the sky, the Tribulation Clouds seemed to daze for a moment, not understanding how the person undergoing the tribulation had suddenly disappeared.

Subsequently, the lightning clouds dissipated completely.

The sun shone over the world once again!

In the room, only Chen Yan and Leng Qingshuang remained.

Chen Yan looked at Leng Qingshuang.

Leng Qingshuang also looked at Chen Yan.

Their faces were less than an inch apart.

They could both feel the warm breath exhaled by the other.

The air was filled with an indescribable, ambiguous atmosphere.

"Revered Master, uh... we..."

Chen Yan looked at his Revered Master's rosy little mouth, truly reluctant to get up just like that.

But he stammered, and the word "continue" in his heart simply didn't dare to be spoken aloud.

Leng Qingshuang's face flushed red, and she gave him a sharp look.

As the Wind Spirit Intent drifted, the Sword Qi directly lifted Chen Yan up and tossed him to the side.

Wanting to continue?

In your dreams!

She slowly stood up, straightened her robes, and looked at her aggrieved Rebellious Disciple.

Ultimately, her heart softened, and she asked softly:

"When the Immortal Abode took you away, you... didn't suffer too much, did you?"

Seeing his Revered Master's concern, Chen Yan immediately leaned in shamelessly again.

He took his Revered Master's hand, sat closely beside her, and pitifully recounted his experiences in the Immortal Abode!

He even angrily cursed those Sects that had relentlessly pursued him and issued kill orders!

Looking at his Revered Master's current spirit and thinking of the unexpected convergence of lightning clouds just now, he asked in a low voice, deep in thought:

"Revered Master, just now, could you have broken through directly?"

Listening to her Rebellious Disciple's experiences along the way, Leng Qingshuang was also filled with anger.

She silently noted those Sects in her heart, planning to settle the score later!

Regarding her disciple's confusion, she didn't hide anything and explained softly:

"I indeed could have broken through directly to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, but..."

Chen Yan was puzzled: "But what?"

Breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage and becoming a top-tier powerhouse on this continent—he felt there was no reason to refuse!

Leng Qingshuang looked at Chen Yan, thinking of the speed of his rise, and said:

"For a moment just now, I faintly sensed a pulling force from above the heavens!"

"If I were to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, I fear I would be forcibly guided away by the world to an unknown destination!"

Pulling? Guided away?

Chen Yan was stunned: "Isn't that just Ascension?"

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he himself realized the problem.

Because on the Profound Heaven Continent, there was almost no mention of Ascension!

Yet those at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage or higher almost never appeared again.

He suddenly remembered the Tribulation Transcendence Stage Blue Luan he had encountered at the bottom of the abyss.

"Revered Master, that Blue Luan Divine Bird..."

Leng Qingshuang's eyes were also full of solemnity: "Perhaps the truth can only be known after truly breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage!"

Chen Yan's eyes flickered with sharp light. There were just too many mysteries in this world, weren't there?

He was just about to ask something else.

Su Wenjian's gentle voice suddenly came from outside the villa.

"Qingshuang, I heard from Elder Lu that your injuries have fully healed?"

Chen Yan supported his Revered Master as they walked out of the courtyard gate to greet him.

Su Wenjian looked at Chen Yan with gratification and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad!"

"It's been hard on you this whole way back!"

Chen Yan curled his lip and muttered, "It wasn't hard, just a hard life..."

Thinking about his journey back to the Sect, being hunted by countless people while the Sect didn't provide even a bit of support!

He finally met Wei Shan from the same Sect, but that guy had shoved his health bar right in his face.

It was hard not to notice!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. The resentment in his eyes was almost solidifying as it shrouded Su Wenjian.

Leng Qingshuang knew of her disciple's hardships these past days. Although she understood this was a trial arranged by Su Wenjian, she couldn't help but feel some heartache.

Her cold eyes fell on Su Wenjian, carrying an unprecedented sense of protectiveness.

Su Wenjian gave a bitter smile and consoled Chen Yan, "Don't worry."

"The Taiqing Sword Sect will settle the score with those Sects that hunted you!"

He stood with his hands behind his back, a flash of killing intent in his eyes: "It seems the swords of the Taiqing Sword Sect have been sheathed for too long."

"The world has forgotten our Way of the Sword!"

Chen Yan stepped forward and handed the evidence of Li Qingxuan's collusion with the demonic cult to Su Wenjian.

He then added mischievously, "Sect Head, there's also Li Qingxuan from the Fifth Peak!"

"That old geezer actually sent people to assassinate me!"

"Fortunately, I'm blessed with great fortune, otherwise, I wouldn't have seen my Revered Master again!"

"Look, this is all evidence of his collusion with the demonic cult!"

Whether it was the Shadow Kill Pavilion or Wei Shan, they were all arranged by Li Qingxuan!

With his vengeful nature, he wouldn't let that old geezer off easy!

Su Wenjian looked at Chen Yan and Leng Qingshuang, but a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a soft sigh:

"This is also the reason I came to find you."

"Li Qingxuan is dead!"
