204: Chapter 204 Young Master~ I've missed you so much~~~

The black-robed man's voice was very soft, tinged with a hint of loneliness and self-deprecation.

Watching Supreme Elder Bai Buxing's disappearing figure, he slowly stood up, and the Mirror Flower Water Moon in the sky instantly dissipated as well.

As he walked, the two spirit beads floating around him also spun around rapidly.

One was earthy brown, and as the aura of thick earth circulated, the surrounding space seemed to sink slightly, as if carrying the weight of ten thousand tons!

The other was azure blue, its profound water Qi transforming into threads of water that wrapped around his body, seemingly soft yet strong.

They were impressively two of the heaven and earth spirit pearls: the earth spirit pearl and the water spirit bead!

The black-robed man raised his hand and lightly caressed the two spirit beads, taking them back into his body in one smooth motion.

Feeling the spiritual energy constantly circulating within his body, a faint smile played on the corner of his lips:

“The wind spirit bead and wood spirit pearl have already appeared, only three are left...”

“The Great Dao has collapsed, and this world is controlled by Immortals. Only by tearing it down to rebuild and completely refining it can we break free from the shackles of the Saints...”

He looked up at the Void Realm, his eyes full of contempt:

“Unfortunately, none of you understand...”

“Ah Da!”

He suddenly called out softly.

From the Void Realm, a dark shadow emerged.

Kneeling on one knee before the black-robed man, he said, “What are your orders, Revered Master?”

Ah Da's voice was raspy, making it impossible to tell if they were male or female.

“Leave Leng Qingshuang alone for now.”

The black-robed man calmly instructed, “Throw out a few insignificant subordinate Sects to let my Junior Brother vent his anger.”

The dark shadow respectfully complied, “Understood.”

With that, he merged into the darkness and disappeared.

The black-robed man stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of the Taiqing Sword Sect, a flash of excitement gleaming in his eyes.

“Leng Qingshuang... Chen Yan...”

“This Revered Master and Disciple duo... are quite interesting...”

Taiqing Sword Sect.

Inside the Sect's main hall.

Su Wenjian sat in the main seat, his face full of distress.

The battle had ended, but the pile of messy aftermath details still gave him a massive headache.

This battle had also made him realize completely that his own strength was still far from enough!

They all had to work hard to raise their Realms.

Otherwise, if another Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator came next time, would they really have to go to the Ancestral Peak and wake up the Old Ancestors who were in death seclusion?

Chen Yan and his Revered Master sat in a corner of the hall.

His fingers, behaving dishonestly under the table, tickled his Revered Master's palm.

This time, Leng Qingshuang did not stop him.

Her brow was slightly furrowed, seemingly deep in thought about something.

“Revered Master, what are you thinking about?”

Seeing that his Revered Master was ignoring him, Chen Yan lost interest in teasing her and looked up to ask in a low voice.

Leng Qingshuang knit her brows and said, “This time Xue Wuhen attacked, there was clearly the shadow of the Tongtian Alliance behind him.”

“Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to recover from his injuries so quickly, and even obtain five Heavenly Demon Beads!”

Chen Yan was startled, then nodded and said, “It seems only the Tongtian Alliance could achieve such a feat!”

But hearing this answer, Leng Qingshuang's brow seemed to furrow even tighter.

Chen Yan looked up at his Revered Master, and with a touch of heartache, he raised his hand to smooth out the frown on her brow, smiling:

“Revered Master, do you feel that the Sect suffered this disaster all because of the wind spirit bead on you?”

Leng Qingshuang sighed softly, “Is it not?”

Chen Yan took her hand, patted it gently, and smiled, “Yes, and no!”

Leng Qingshuang was taken aback, “What do you mean?”

Chen Yan explained, “Xue Wuhen's strength is only at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. With Revered Master's current strength, would you really fear being unable to kill him?”

“The Tongtian Alliance clearly knew Revered Master's strength, yet they still sent Xue Wuhen to his death. Why?”

“To force Revered Master to make a move? And then get targeted by the Immortal Realm? To be forcibly ascended?”

“In that case, do they still want the wind spirit bead or not?”

Leng Qingshuang seemed to realize something, “So, the Tongtian Alliance knew about Elder Bai's strength all along, and they sent Xue Wuhen just to force Elder Bai to show himself?”

“But... what is the reason?”

Chen Yan spread his hands and smiled, “I don't know!”

“Perhaps, it lies in Old Man Bai's final call of 'Senior Brother'.”

Seeing that Leng Qingshuang seemed about to overthink things again, he immediately pulled her hand and said:

“Revered Master, if you can't figure it out, think about it later.”

“But for now, we cannot continue to stay in the Sect!”

With a turn of her mind, Leng Qingshuang understood her Rebellious Disciple's thoughts and nodded slightly:

“No matter what the Tongtian Alliance's purpose is, the wind spirit bead is the key!”

“This time it was Xue Wuhen, and Elder Bai stepped in. If there is a next time, we really can't just wake up the Old Ancestor.”

The two looked at each other silently and smiled.

In that case, let us leave early.

We won't bring any more trouble to the Sect.

In the main hall, after Su Wenjian properly arranged the aftermath matters, everyone dispersed one after another.

Since they had made up their minds, as soon as Chen Yan and his Revered Master returned to the Ninth Peak, they began to pack up, preparing to leave.

But before they could even step out the door, a commotion was heard from outside.

“Girl Qingshuang, you brat!”

Chen Yan pushed open the door and saw the sibling pair, Lu Lingdan and Lu Lingyun, walking in carrying large and small bags.

Lu Lingyun grabbed Leng Qingshuang's hand, stuffed a Storage Pouch full of protective Medicinal Pills into her hand, patted her hand, and said:

“Girl, if this kid ever bullies you, come back and tell Grandma. Grandma will help you smash his Pill Furnace.”

Looking at her, Leng Qingshuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she could only respond, “Thank you, Grandma.”

On the other side, Lu Lingdan tugged Chen Yan's arm, pulled him aside, and stealthily fished out a handful of Medicinal Pills from his Storage Pouch to stuff into his hand.

“Young man, you've just tasted sweetness and don't know moderation! Take these tonics with you, they'll guarantee you're full of vigor and vitality every day!”

Chen Yan: “...”

Holy crap!

You dirty old man~

You truly understand me!

They say women in their thirties are like wolves, in their forties like tigers, and in their fifties, they can suck up the earth just by sitting on it!

Faced with his Revered Master's three hundred years of cultivation, he really had to nourish himself well!

He immediately stuffed the tonics into his robes, his face beaming with a broad smile: “Thank you, Master!”

Lu Lingdan looked like he was looking at a teachable student, patting his shoulder with gratification: “Strive to have a baby in one year, and two in three years!”

“Cough, cough!”

Chen Yan was almost choked to death by his own saliva!

This old geezer is way too improper!

He wasn't a breeding stallion!

Standing to the side, Leng Qingshuang was also thoroughly flushed with embarrassment.

They hadn't thought about hiding their relationship, but being teased to their faces by their Elders still made them quite shy.

And after Lu Lingdan and his sister, Qian Duoduo, Zhang Yun, and other Disciples who were close to Chen Yan also arrived.

Looking at his brother who was already in the Soul Transformation Realm, Qian Duoduo was filled with deep emotion.

“Brother Yan, you can go with peace of mind!”

“I will definitely work hard to catch up to you! When you return, we'll continue to dominate and slaughter!”

Chen Yan looked at him with a grin: “Alright!”

But even he didn't know how long it would take for him to return from this journey.

For a moment, the originally desolate Ninth Peak actually became incredibly lively.

Everyone thought that Chen Yan and Leng Qingshuang were going to the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall to guard it for a hundred years, after which they would return to take charge of the Taiqing Sword Sect.

No one knew that the Revered Master and Disciple actually planned to head straight for the Demon Realm Continent!

It wasn't until late at night.

Only after Chen Yan saw everyone off did he heave a long sigh of relief, looking at his Revered Master: “Wife, let's go too!”

Leng Qingshuang gave him a coquettish, reproving glare: “Look at your improper self!”

In front of the teleportation array, Su Wenjian looked at the Revered Master and Disciple, saying solemnly, “Take care!”

Two simple words, yet they contained so much.

Chen Yan bowed to him and smiled, “Sect Master, you take care too!”

Buzz~

The teleportation array activated.

A white light slowly enveloped the two figures.

Holding Leng Qingshuang's hand, Chen Yan looked at her face illuminated by the teleportation light and suddenly smiled:

“Revered Master, once we're outside, you have to be careful.”

Leng Qingshuang: “Careful of what?”

Chen Yan grinned, “Careful of your Disciple harboring improper intentions toward you...”

“Rebellious Disciple...”

Whoosh!

The two figures instantly vanished from the teleportation array.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in a city tens of millions of miles away.

Linyuan City.

The city closest to the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall.

It was practically a necessary stop for every Sect heading to the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall!

As soon as Chen Yan landed, before he could even figure out the situation,

a fragrant breeze rushed toward his face.

Looking up, he saw a vast expanse of snowy white and surging waves filling his field of vision!

“Young Master~ I missed you to death~~~”
