28: Han Wanqing arrives

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for acquiring a major Opportunity from the Son of Destiny, Qin Feng! Reward: 10,000 Heaven's Mandate Value, three years of Cultivation, and one small Spiritual Vein!”

“A small Spiritual Vein?!”

“Ding! The Host cannot currently control it, so it is temporarily stored in the System space.”

“Alright.”

After speaking, Chen Xuan felt his Realm and found that he was stuck at Cultivation Level Six.

He looked at Zhou Wan'er in front of him, seemingly understanding some pattern.

…

Subsequently, the two began to study the effects of the Fusion realm heart.

Undoubtedly, both of them had now obtained a realm heart, but their abilities differed slightly.

Chen Xuan did not have control over the entire Secret Realm; he could only freely bring people in and out of the Secret Realm.

But Zhou Wan'er was different; she could freely enter and exit the Secret Realm herself, but she could not bring people into the Secret Realm, though items were permitted. In addition, she had absolute control within the Secret Realm.

This meant that she could reshape the Secret Realm however she wished; she was the sole god within the entire Secret Realm.

Of course, if there were Cultivators with higher Cultivation Levels in the Secret Realm, she and Chen Xuan could at most just drive them out; they couldn't do anything to them, as the Rank of this Secret Realm was too low to harm those people at all.

Upon learning of her abilities, Zhou Wan'er excitedly tried to change the terrain in the Secret Realm.

For example, transforming a lake into a massive mountain, or a forest into a vast grassland. However, the Secret Realm's scope was not large, roughly the size of a small country, so some thought was still required.

“Husband, the Spiritual Qi in the Secret Realm seems to have diminished!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan also felt it, and indeed, it had become thinner.

“It's probably because some treasures were taken away by the people who underwent the trial before. We can just catch a few Spiritual Veins and put them in later.”

“Ah? Catch Spiritual Veins? That would at least require a Nascent Soul Cultivation Level! Our Zhou kingdom's imperial family doesn't even have such great Cultivators!”

“You don't believe me?”

“Of course I believe Husband, Husband will definitely become an Immortal in the future!” Zhou Wan'er covered her mouth and chuckled, while Chen Xuan playfully smacked her.

“Alright, alright, you'll know in the future.”

“Then Husband, what should we do now?”

“Of course, we're going out. The entire Secret Realm is ours now, what's the point of staying inside? And if you encounter any danger later, you can return to the Secret Realm in an instant, there's nothing to worry about.”

“But General Zhao is waiting outside, what should I say?”

Chen Xuan thought for a moment and told Zhou Wan'er the method.

“Bad, bad man, you're really annoying!”

“Isn't this just a last resort, my dearest wife?” Chen Xuan said with a mischievous smile.

Upon hearing that address, Zhou Wan'er trembled all over and pinched Chen Xuan hard before giving up.

Subsequently, the two left the Secret Realm one after another, returning to the outside of Flame Feather City.

“City Lord, Madam has probably met with misfortune. Please accept my condolences!”

“Yes, City Lord, this Secret Realm has opened so many times, and no one has ever come out after the time limit! If it opens again, we'll have to wait 100 years, City Lord! By then, Madam will probably already be…”

“Shut up! Don't say another word!” General Zhao slapped the person who was advising him, sending him flying, then cautiously glanced at the woman by the entrance.

Han Wanqing reference (delete if infringing)

Around this woman knelt Zhou Kou, and a group of people from the Wang Family, while Qin Feng stood trembling to the side.

One could only say, what was meant to come would still come, even if a little late.

“Fairy Han, please rest assured, your nephew is so intelligent, and a blessed person, he will definitely be fine!” General Zhao still stepped forward and said this to Han Wanqing.

Zhou Wan'er was not that important to him now; what was important was Cai Kun's life! This also concerned his own life! If Cai Kun didn't appear, he might very well be killed by an enraged Han Wanqing.

Even though both he and Han Wanqing were at the Golden Core Stage, there were still differences within the Golden Core Stage!

Just now, this woman had directly beaten Zhou Kou, who was at the Late Stage Golden Core, and Zhou Kou was still kneeling, not daring to stand up!

Han Wanqing, with a gloomy face, stared at the Secret Realm entrance without speaking.

Time passed bit by bit, and finally, a ripple appeared at the Secret Realm entrance. “Cai Kun” walked out, and not long after, Zhou Wan'er also emerged.

“Little Brother Cai, you've finally come out!”

The moment he saw Chen Xuan, General Zhao jumped up in excitement, letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

“Zhao City Lord, you've been well!” Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Then, he felt a very familiar sense of oppression, and his heart stirred, wanting to flee.

“Good nephew, why do you want to run when you see your aunt?” A cold, emotionless voice sounded beside Chen Xuan's ear.

“Uh… cough cough, so Auntie, you've arrived. Why didn't you say you were coming earlier? I would have had Zhao City Lord prepare a proper reception!” Chen Xuan said with a laugh.

“Ah, yes, it's not too late to receive Fairy Han now. Come, notify the City Lord's Mansion, set up a banquet!”

“Fairy Han, I will go and prepare the banquet for you now. Farewell!”

With that, General Zhao cupped his hands and left with Zhou Wan'er and the others. He didn't even say a word to Zhou Wan'er, only wanting to leave this dreadful place quickly.

“All of you, scram too!” Han Wanqing glanced at the people of the Wang Family, and they instantly felt relieved, using all their strength to leave the place.

“Um… Revered Master, I've had some insights during this trip. This Opportunity is hard-won, so why don't I return to the Sect for secluded cultivation first!”

Han Wanqing frowned but still agreed.

In the end, only Han Wanqing and Chen Xuan remained in this place.

“Take off your mask, it annoys me!” Han Wanqing said, directly reaching out and removing Chen Xuan's mask, not giving him a chance to refuse.

“…”

“That woman who walked out with you just now, she has a lot of your Qi on her?”

“We supported each other through adversity, so naturally, there was a lot of contact.” Chen Xuan said, feigning composure.

“Oh? What about your other wives?”

“They…” Chen Xuan was about to brace himself to explain, then remembered that he was no longer Han Wanqing's Disciple, so there was no need to explain anything.

“They are my wives, is there anything wrong with that?”

“They?”

“Yes! Who stipulated that I couldn't marry? No one, right?”

“You! Even if you were to marry, you should have informed me!”

“I'm no longer a member of the Xuan Yang Sect, nor am I your Disciple, so why should I tell you! And my Cultivation is gone, even if I wanted to tell you, I wouldn't have the means!”

As soon as these words were spoken, a strong wind suddenly blew through the forest.

“Good! Good!! You said it! I didn't believe what Qin Feng said earlier, but now, I truly see through you!” With that, her figure disappeared from in front of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was only slightly surprised by this.

In his impression, with Han Wanqing's personality, she would surely have “punished” him somewhat, but she didn't do so this time. Was she perhaps a little disappointed? Angry? Or… sad?

But when his Cultivation was crippled, it was Han Wanqing herself who personally ordered Qin Feng to expel him from the Sect!

Now she came running to find him, not asking about important matters, but constantly questioning him about women. It was truly baffling!

“Could it be? Is she following the 'chasing husband to the crematorium' trope? After all, I used to take care of all her daily needs. Now that she's discovered I've left, she's full of regrets?!”

“Forget it, no more wild guessing. Seeing my wife is most important.”

Chen Xuan shook his head and walked towards the Qin Family. He planned to pack his things and move directly into the Secret Realm.

…

On the other side, Han Wanqing flew forward continuously. After an unknown amount of time, she stopped in an uninhabited place.

At this moment, two tear streaks had appeared on her face.

She couldn't understand why, after just a period of secluded cultivation, things had turned out this way!

Chen Xuan had been crippled by his own Alchemy explosion, and not only did he not seek her out, but his mindset completely changed, and he severed his ties with the Sect and his identity as her Disciple. If only he had sought her out, she would never have let him leave!

And that wasn't the main point. The main point was that she had traveled thousands of miles to Flame Feather City, and after finding Chen Xuan, he had actually gotten married!!!

And the object of his marriage was the elder of her other Disciple…! Was there anything more Heaven-Defying than this?

Getting married was one thing, but what she found most unbearable was Chen Xuan's attitude! Especially when he spoke such harsh words to her with a cold face!

It was as if they were strangers! She had never provoked him, at most, she just liked to order him to serve her, and it was always for him…!

The more Han Wanqing thought about it, the more wronged she felt. You made a mistake in Alchemy yourself, why are you treating me this way? It's not like I made you make a mistake!

Then, as she thought, she couldn't help but want to cry, but her nature was inherently stubborn, and she would never let anyone see her weak side, so she could only leave.

And now, after crying, she calmed down.

“He still had Cultivation just now? So he wasn't crippled at all?”

“Then why did he leave the Revered Master's Sect and find a woman of a higher generation…!?”

In an instant, Han Wanqing seemed to grasp something.
