199: Chapter 199 Candidate for the Young Master of Taiqing

Demon Suppressing City was not actually a city!

It was a Great Wall of flesh and blood, cast from the blood of countless Cultivators!

It stood at the very edge of the Tianxuan Continent, facing the Demon Race directly; it was the most dangerous and terrifying land of death in Tianxuan!

The trial of Demon Suppressing City that Chen Yan had encountered in the Lihuo Immortal Abode was merely a miniature reflection of that ten-thousand-mile Great Wall!

Upon learning that he had to pass through Demon Suppressing City to enter the Demon Realm Continent, Chen Yan couldn't help but look a bit grave.

One had to understand that beneath the Demon Suppressing Great Wall was a place of flesh and blood where countless demons were constantly charging and killing.

To cross the Demon Race's positions silently and enter the Demon Realm Continent...

The difficulty could not be said to be anything but high!

As if seeing the worry in Chen Yan's heart,

Leng Yi chuckled and took out three Talismans glowing with a faint light from his sleeve, solemnly pressing them into Chen Yan's hand.

“This is a Concealment Talisman. Once activated, it can shield one from heavenly secrets for six hours.”

Then, he turned his gaze toward Leng Qingshuang, lingering for a moment before saying softly, “Girl, you now possess the wind spirit bead and have been targeted by the Tongtian Alliance. In all things, you must be careful!”

Leng Qingshuang nodded slightly, a trace of lingering worry gathered between her brows. “I'm fine, but Uncle, what are your plans next?”

Leng Yi stood up and looked toward the horizon, a chilling smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. “The Tongtian Alliance is far stronger than you imagine!”

“I need to continue playing my role!”

He looked at Chen Yan and said in a heavy voice, “Kid, I know you are uniquely blessed. Since you began cultivating, you've had constant Opportunities!”

“This is great Luck!”

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Therefore, you must promise me that no matter what happens, you will protect Qingshuang to the death!”

“You must never let her suffer even the slightest grievance!”

“Do you hear me?”

“Rest assured, Uncle!” Chen Yan grinned, his mouth very sweet as he called him 'Uncle' quite naturally. “Qingshuang is both my Revered Master and my wife! Naturally, I will protect my Revered Master!”

“As long as I am here, no one shall touch a single hair on my wife's head!”

Hearing her Rebellious Disciple calling her 'Revered Master' one moment and 'wife' the next in front of her uncle, Leng Qingshuang's face turned beet red from embarrassment.

Leng Yi, seeing the kid's protective manner, couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Truly the kid he had taken a liking to!

This shameless appearance indeed had a bit of his own shadow!

He had escaped through a fake death to go undercover in the Tongtian Alliance alone.

The only thing he couldn't let go of was this girl, Qingshuang.

Previously, because of his fake death, this girl had closed off her heart and devoted herself to the Way of Emotionless.

He had already been filled with regret at the time.

Now, seeing the girl by Chen Yan's side, re-cultivating the Way of Emotions and even stepping into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm—barring any accidents, the Land Immortal Realm was also a certainty.

Naturally, he had no more regrets!

“Go on.”

Leng Yi waved his hand at the two of them. “In Demon Suppressing City, I have a hidden piece planted, code-named 'Blue Bird'. If anything happens, just look for him.”

As his voice fell, his figure turned into a breeze and vanished into the depths of the canyon.

The barrier dissipated along with him.

Chen Yan supported Leng Qingshuang as she stood up. Looking at the empty canyon, he said softly:

“Revered Master, let us head back as well!”

Leng Qingshuang gave a soft “Mhm” in response.

This trip to Youzhou could be considered a Perfection!

Not only did she obtain the Feng Clan's cultivation Legacy, activate the wind spirit bead, and see her father's soul to acknowledge her ancestors.

They had even cooperated with Duobao Pavilion and the Youzhou branch of the Taiqing Sword Sect to wipe out a portion of the Tongtian Alliance's forces!

It could be called a complete victory!

Chen Yan summoned the Somersault Cloud, took Leng Qingshuang's hand, and stepped onto it.

The cloud turned and flew toward the direction of the Taiqing Sword Sect.

Above the clouds, the wind whistled fiercely.

Leng Qingshuang's long dress fluttered loudly in the wind, and her waist was so slender it seemed one could grasp it with a single hand.

Chen Yan's eyes involuntarily glanced toward that waist, his heart swaying slightly.

Revered Master will be mine from now on!

[Detected host's strong desire to get close to Revered Master. Issuing new mission: Relaxed and Happy.]

[Relaxed and Happy: Rest your head on Revered Master's lap for the duration of one incense stick; Mission Completion Reward: Demon Realm Map Fragment *1.]

Looking at the mission content, Chen Yan's eyes twitched violently.

Holy crap!

This damn System really freaking understands him!

His eyes rolled as he deliberately stretched, yawning with a look of exhaustion on his face.

“Revered Master~”

He wrapped his arms around Leng Qingshuang's waist, gently stroking it. “That intense battle just now consumed too much of my spiritual Qi.”

“My head is so dizzy now~ I need to sleep for a bit to recover~”

Leng Qingshuang immediately looked at him with concern. “What's wrong? Weren't you fine just a moment ago?”

“Just now was just now, and now is now~”

Chen Yan had a face full of grievance. “I really have to lie down and sleep now.”

As he spoke, he didn't even give Leng Qingshuang a chance to react, directly hugging her thighs and lying down.

His head even deliberately moved up bit by bit from Revered Master's thighs.

Whoosh~

Leng Qingshuang's face turned red instantly.

“Pervert! In broad daylight, what kind of behavior is this?”

But although she scolded him with her mouth, her body honestly adjusted its sitting position, placing her slender legs across Chen Yan.

To let him rest more comfortably.

Looking at Chen Yan's Relaxed and Happy expression, she lightly bit her red lip, her eyes shimmering like water.

You little troublemaker~~~

Chen Yan grinned, his head resting against the warm, soft fabric of his Revered Master's thighs, the faint scent of cold plum blossoms instantly flooding his nose.

That was the unique body fragrance of his Revered Master.

He couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh in his heart.

“Tsk tsk, Revered Master's long legs are white, long, soft, and comfortable~”

“I wish I could just lie here for a lifetime~~~”

A lifetime...

Leng Qingshuang looked affectionately at the Rebellious Disciple who was so comfortable he had closed his eyes, secretly feeling happy in her heart.

Hmph, last time you said 'for all eternity', and now it's just 'a lifetime'?

Dog man!

She took a deep breath, suppressing the shame and annoyance in her heart.

Yet her fingertips involuntarily began to slowly comb through Chen Yan's hair.

The movement was so gentle it seemed as if it could drip with water.

Chen Yan enjoyed her stroking, his heart howling like a ghost again.

Leng Qingshuang listened, both embarrassed and angry, yet she couldn't bear to stop.

The Somersault Cloud floated silently in the air, working hard to preserve the sweet time of the Revered Master and Disciple.

[Mission completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: Demon Realm Continent Map *1.]

Chen Yan silently opened his attribute panel, taking stock of his current gains.

As the mountain gate of the Taiqing Sword Sect appeared in view,

Dong~

Dong dong~

From afar, Chen Yan heard the sound of a bell tolling.

A total of nine strikes!

“This is the bell tolling that only occurs during a Sect grand ceremony.”

Leng Qingshuang's brows furrowed slightly, filled with confusion. “Is the Sect holding some kind of celebration?”

The Somersault Cloud slowly descended onto the square outside the mountain gate.

As soon as the two landed, they were stunned by the scene before them.

The Disciples of the entire Taiqing Sword Sect were standing in the square, the seven Peak Revered Masters were lined up on both sides, and Su Wenjian stood at the very front leading the Peak Revered Masters.

Qian Duoduo, standing among the Disciples of the Sixth Peak, was winking at Chen Yan.

“Chen Yan!”

Su Wenjian's voice echoed across the square, carrying a trace of gratification. “Come forward.”

“Me?”

Chen Yan walked over, completely baffled.

He and his Revered Master had only left the Sect for a few months; why was such a grand display suddenly organized?

Su Wenjian's face was full of gratification:

“Chen Yan, we have already learned everything about your performance as the Taiqing Walker.”

“You have spread the sword prestige of our Taiqing, assisted Sword Venerable Shuanghua in breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and wiped out a major stronghold of the Tongtian Alliance in Youzhou!”

“These achievements are enough to shake the Sect!”

He paused, his voice suddenly rising.

“I and the various Peak Revered Masters have unanimously decided to break convention and list you as a candidate for the Young Sect Master of Taiqing!”

“Once you pass the assessment, you can officially take over the position of Young Sect Master of Taiqing!”
