73: Chapter 73 Liu Qingyan departs, laying the groundwork for the Upper Realm

"You don't want to leave him?"

Liu Qingyan froze in place, her hand that was about to pull Liu Yuqin's stiffening in mid-air.

Looking at her sister, who was snuggled up next to Su Yun with a face full of bashfulness yet as firm as a rock, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

How long had it been?

Her long-lost silly sister had been given some kind of bewitching soup by this bastard Su Yun, to the point she didn't even want the chance to return to her roots in the Upper Realm?

She glared fiercely at Su Yun.

Su Yun shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"Sister, think it through carefully."

Liu Qingyan withdrew her hand, her tone becoming a bit more serious.

"The Upper Realm has dense Spiritual Qi and countless resources. Once you return to the Liu Family, you'll be the Young Miss of the Wanfa Immortal Sect, ten thousand times better than being some Saintess in this barren Lower Realm."

"Mhm."

Liu Yuqin held Su Yun's arm tightly without the slightest hesitation.

"Sister, I'm doing very well in the Lower Realm. Besides... Su Yun said that he would take me to the Upper Realm in the future."

Take her to the Upper Realm?

Liu Qingyan instinctively wanted to mock him for "not knowing the heights of the heavens," but the words got stuck in her throat.

If it were anyone else, they might be bragging.

But during these seven days and seven nights, she had personally experienced Su Yun's overbearing talent and endless means.

This man was a monster.

A mere Lower Realm could not trap this Dragon.

"Forget it."

Liu Qingyan let out a long sigh and took out a shimmering Jade Talisman from her storage ring, pressing it into Liu Yuqin's hand.

"Since your mind is made up, I won't force you. Keep this Concentric Heart Pendant safe. It has three of my Divine Thoughts sealed inside. If you encounter danger, crush it, and I'll be able to sense it even across the boundary wall."

As she spoke, she pulled out another Storage Pouch and hung it on Liu Yuqin's waist without allowing any refusal.

"There are some Medicinal Pills and Cultivation Techniques inside, enough for you to Cultivate to the Soul Transformation Stage. In a place like the Lower Realm, it'll give you the strength to protect yourself."

After doing all this, Liu Qingyan looked at Su Yun again, a trace of resentment appearing on her cold and elegant face.

"Su Yun, I'm entrusting my sister to you. If I find out you've bullied her or let her suffer even the slightest grievance..."

"Don't worry."

Su Yun reached out and wrapped his arm around Liu Yuqin's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace and laughing wildly.

"She is my woman. No one can bully her except me. As for you, sister-in-law... you should worry about your own situation up there first."

Sister-in-law?

Hearing this address, Liu Qingyan's beautiful face instantly turned red, both embarrassed and annoyed.

This bastard really dared to say anything! She had already... with him...

But what made her even more ashamed was that upon hearing this title, a trace of unusual excitement actually welled up in her heart.

"Come with me."

Liu Qingyan suppressed the heat in her heart, grabbed Su Yun's collar, and dragged him to the edge of a distant cliff.

She set up a soundproofing barrier.

The world instantly became quiet.

Liu Qingyan let go, the charm and shyness on her face completely receding, replaced by a heart-palpitating coldness and malice.

This was directed at that person.

"Listen carefully, I don't have much time. I must get back before the Boundary Gate closes."

She spoke rapidly, without any nonsense.

"Lin Aotian has now joined the Wanfa Immortal Sect where my father is. He is my father's most valued closed-door Disciple. His foothold in the Upper Realm is not yet stable, and he urgently needs a major victory to consolidate his position."

"In one month, the Wanfa Immortal Sect will hold its once-every-fifty-years Sect Grand Competition."

"This competition is crucial for him. Only by taking first place and becoming the number one in the Core Sequence will he be eligible to enter the 'Wanfa Forbidden Land' and obtain the Sect's supreme Legacy—the Incomplete Manual of the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body."

Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body?

Su Yun raised an eyebrow.

In the original plot, this was one of Lin Aotian's core trump cards in the Middle Stage.

Once mastered, his Physical Body would be comparable to a Magic Treasure of the same rank, and his recovery power would be extremely abnormal, earning him the title of the undying cockroach.

Back then, Lin Aotian relied on this technique to wear down and kill several Demonic Path giants who were two major Realms higher than him.

Good stuff.

Su Yun stroked his chin, a flash of greed in his eyes.

Since I know about it, it's mine.

"What is his current cultivation?" Su Yun asked.

"Immortal Ascension Realm Second Level, and he could Breakthrough to the Third Level at any time."

Liu Qingyan sneered.

"However, he has been suppressing his Realm, wanting to Breakthrough during the competition to attract the attention of the Sect's higher-ups and create the persona of a peerless Prodigy."

"Tsk, he really knows how to put on a show."

Su Yun scoffed.

This was indeed the style of that poser Lin Aotian.

He wouldn't do anything halfway; if he did it, he had to make it a big show.

"What do you plan to do after you go back?" Su Yun looked at Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan smoothed her hair that had been tousled by the wind, her voice carrying a sense of ruthlessness.

"I will continue to play the role of that silly Senior Sister who is devoted to him, helping him 'clear' obstacles and assisting him in ascending to a high position."

At this point, she paused, looked up, and stared straight at Su Yun.

"I want to lift him high up, making him think he has everything. Then... at his most proud and arrogant moment, I'll personally push him into the abyss!"

Su Yun smiled.

A woman whose love has turned to hatred is indeed the sharpest blade.

Lin Aotian, oh Lin Aotian.

You're fighting for your life for opportunities in the Upper Realm, but you don't know that your backyard has long been on fire, and even the roof has been torn off.

"The plan is good, but not enough."

Su Yun flipped his palm, and a Jade Slip emitting a faint, cold light appeared in his hand.

This was the Mother-Child Heart-Linking Jade from the System mall. It could transmit information even across the boundary wall and was extremely difficult to detect.

"Take this."

Su Yun handed over the Jade Slip.

"This thing will allow us to contact each other at any time. What I want you to do is simple—not only must you report his every move to me, but it's best if you can intercept his opportunities."

Liu Qingyan took the Jade Slip, and after scanning it with her Divine Sense, she instantly understood how to use it.

"You want to seize the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body?" She immediately guessed Su Yun's intention.

"Not just the technique."

Su Yun stepped closer, his finger gently stroking her exquisite collarbone, his tone playful.

"His resources, his connections, his Luck... as long as it belongs to Lin Aotian, I want it all."

"Understood?"

Liu Qingyan felt a current of electricity spread through her body from her collarbone, and her legs felt a bit weak.

Biting her lip, she nodded heavily.

"Fine. As long as it makes him suffer, I'll do anything."

"Good girl."

Su Yun satisfiedly patted her cheek.

Just then, a dull rumble suddenly came from the sky.

Rumble—

The clouds surged, and a massive golden pillar of light broke through the Void Realm, projecting straight down.

The summon from the Upper Realm had arrived.

Liu Qingyan's body trembled, and a trace of panic and reluctance appeared on her face.

Time was up.

She had to leave.

"Su Yun..."

The female avenger who was just full of Killing Intent and wanting to take revenge on her ex now looked like a little wife about to go on a long journey, clutching Su Yun's sleeve tightly.

"In the Lower Realm... be careful in everything."

She took out a simple Bronze Heart-Protecting Mirror from her bosom and pressed it into Su Yun's hand.

"This Magic Treasure can withstand a full-strength strike from a Mahayana Stage Cultivator in the Lower Realm. Keep it for self-protection."

Su Yun was stunned.

Mahayana Stage?

This was a ceiling-level defensive treasure in the Lower Realm.

Wouldn't that mean he could walk sideways in the Lower Realm!

In the distance.

Leng Hanshuang, Lin Rou, Phoenix Unrivaled, and the others watched this scene, their teeth gnashing in jealousy and bitterness.

"Vixen!"

"Shameless!"

"Still seducing the man even when she's leaving!"

A thought occurred to several women simultaneously.

Once this woman is gone, we must make Su Yun pay!

We must drain him dry so he has no energy left to provoke other women!

Su Yun felt those murderous gazes from behind and felt a chill down his spine.

But he had to admit, this feeling of being taken care of by a wealthy woman... was really damn good.

"Alright, don't dawdle."

Su Yun put away the heart-protecting mirror, wrapped his arm around Liu Qingyan's waist, and lowered his head to give those red lips a fierce Seal.

This kiss was overbearing and extremely aggressive.

Liu Qingyan let out a soft moan, her body going completely limp as she hooked her arms around Su Yun's neck, responding clumsily yet passionately.

After a long time, their lips parted.

Liu Qingyan was panting, her face flushed, and her phoenix eyes no longer held any coldness, only a deep, watery emotion.

"Wait for me."

She whispered softly in Su Yun's ear, "I'll wait for you up there."

After saying that, Liu Qingyan suddenly turned around and resolutely stepped into that guiding pillar of light.

Although she was reluctant.

But she knew that only by returning to the Upper Realm and lurking by Lin Aotian's side could she maximize her value and truly help Su Yun.

And also... fiercely take revenge on that heartless man!

The pillar of light contracted, and Liu Qingyan's figure turned into a streak of light, soaring into the sky and disappearing behind the rolling clouds in the blink of an eye.

The Heavenly Gate closed.

Peace returned to the world.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering Liu Qingyan, one of the original protagonist Lin Aotian's beauties!]

[Ding! The host has obtained 200,000 Luck points!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special reward: Divine-Grade concealment technique "Heaven-Deceiving Formless Art"!]

[Heaven-Deceiving Formless Art: A Divine-Grade concealment method. Once activated, it can perfectly hide one's aura, cultivation, and Karma. Even the Heavenly Dao's will in the Upper Realm cannot see through the host's reality. It is an essential divine skill for killing, looting, and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger!]

Feeling the profound information of the technique in his mind and the surging power in his body, a satisfied smile appeared on Su Yun's face.

The harvest this time was too great!

Not only did he successfully plant a top-tier pawn next to Lin Aotian, but he also obtained such a Heaven-Defying life-saving Divine Ability!

With this Heaven-Deceiving Formless Art, he would no longer have to worry about being discovered by the Heavenly Dao when he did "acting on behalf of heaven" bad deeds in the future.

Su Yun slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over the mountain gate of the Mysterious Maiden Sect and looking toward the distant horizon.

There lay the mountain gates of the Divine Blade Sect and the Vajra Sect, which had once besieged the Mysterious Maiden Sect.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Very good."

"Now, it's time for those clowns who acted against the Mysterious Maiden Sect... to pay the price."
