437: There is another dark, twisted, crawling madman in the world.

"No, I cannot lose Mei Xueyan!"

You Kui slowly shook his head, his tone firm: "Left Cloud Star can wait, and I can wait. If ten thousand years isn't enough, then it's a hundred thousand years, a million years, a billion years..."

Left Cloud Star and Mei Xueyan were fellow disciples, and he had been secretly coveting Mei Xueyan for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.

It was also his carelessness, his overconfidence, never taking Left Cloud Star seriously, which led to his wife and daughter being abducted.

If Gu Qing knew of the love, hate, and enmity between the three, he would surely exclaim, "In a dark, unmanned corner, another twisted, crawling madman has appeared."

You Kui's expression was resolute.

To reclaim his wife and daughter, the first step was to achieve the Dao of an Immortal King.

You Kui opened the storage ring Gu Qing gave him and saw a treasure pagoda sealed within a light barrier.

His divine sense swept over it, and he immediately froze.

"Innate... innate divinity, is this an Innate Spirit Treasure?!"

"And... what kind of treasure is this? A Chaotic treasure?"

Turbulent waves surged in You Kui's heart; he looked again and again, his expression changing repeatedly.

He had originally thought that Gu Qing would give him some Immortal King essence blood to help him comprehend the profound mysteries of an Immortal King.

But he never expected that while Immortal King essence blood was indeed given, an Innate Spirit Treasure was also provided, and the gas exuding the essence of Chaotic Laws was even more precious.

It was countless times more valuable than an Innate Spirit Treasure, at least to him.

If the quantity was sufficient, this Chaotic Source Qi could completely refine an extremely powerful Innate Spirit Treasure, or even a Chaotic treasure.

Furthermore, Chaotic Source Qi was a supreme treasure for increasing cultivation and improving one's foundation.

With these three supreme treasures, You Kui had absolute confidence in achieving the Dao of an Immortal King.

You Kui's heart pounded wildly; he circulated his calming secret art, and it took him a while to settle down.

He first took out a drop of Lonely Star's essence blood to comprehend the Grand Dao of an Immortal King.

A single drop of blood contained terrifying and boundless power, and it was fortunate that it had been sealed by Gu Qing's divine ability.

Otherwise, he would struggle to even approach the Immortal King essence blood.

You Kui's divine sense touched Gu Qing's seal, opening a small gap.

With a boom, the divine might of an Immortal King poured out, triggering all the formation arrays in the entire cave mansion.

The cave mansion's runes surged like a sea, and divine light burst forth.

This was only a small opening; if it were fully unsealed... he estimated he would be severely wounded by the Immortal King essence blood, or even... annihilated.

You Kui stared intently at the essence blood before him, which was crystal clear and radiant, with the laws of the Grand Dao flowing, like a vast ocean of blood.

You Kui's scalp tingled.

He had originally thought that since Gu Qing was chasing and hacking at a group of Immortal Kings, Immortal Kings were nothing special.

But at this moment, he had a deeper understanding of Immortal Kings.

It wasn't that Immortal Kings had become weaker, but that Gu Qing was too terrifying.

His ability to withstand the aftershocks of an Immortal King's divine ability without dying was definitely not because he was strong, but probably due to sheer dumb luck.

You Kui dared not imagine how heaven-defying Gu Qing's true strength was.

Even if he achieved the Dao of an Immortal King and became the strongest Immortal King, he would still not be a match for Gu Qing in a single move... On the other side, as soon as Xi Ling emerged from seclusion, she activated the Time-Space Shuttle, tearing through space, and in an instant, crossed several hundred Tian Yu to arrive at Chang Sheng Tian Yu.

"Hand over this ant, Su Chen."

Xi Ling used the Immortal King power of the Boundary Stele, her voice reverberating throughout Chang Sheng Tian Yu.

Her voice was cold and ethereal, like the sound of nature, yet to the ears of the crowd, it was like a demon bringing about the end of the world.

Ever since Xi Ling annihilated Heavenly Fire Domain, the people of Chang Sheng Tian Yu were in a state of panic, and the Immortal Great Sects were even planning to relocate from Chang Sheng Tian Yu.

The reason was simple: Su Chen was a cultivator from Chang Sheng Tian Yu.

What was even more critical was that they couldn't find Su Chen.

Heavenly Sword Sect.

Yuhua Peak.

A woman, previously drunk, instantly sobered up.

Her beauty was exquisite, and her figure was explosive; even wearing a loose Daoist robe, her voluptuous physique could not be concealed.

Yang Wenjing was unkempt and dressed casually, giving her a sense of unrestrained freedom.

But at this moment, her expression was extremely grave.

"Master, what should we do?"

A stunningly beautiful woman arrived hastily on her sword, her face filled with anxiety.

Because she knew that her senior brother was Su Chen.

Su Chen had always been loudly proclaiming and frequently swearing to seek revenge on Xi Ling.

Previously, she and Su Chen shared a common hatred, and she greatly admired Su Chen.

After all, Su Chen feared no power, his Dao heart was firm, and even though Xi Ling possessed unparalleled talent and was the daughter of an Immortal King, it did not deter Su Chen.

Instead, it ignited Su Chen's fierce fighting spirit, making him aspire to rival the heavens.

Such a mindset and spirit were beyond what so-called 'Heavenly Talents' could compare to.

However, when Nangong Bingru learned that Xi Ling had directly massacred Heavenly Fire Domain and swept through Profound Gods, Nangong Bingru was filled with terror.

She wasn't afraid of death, but she had parents, a younger brother, clan members, and her sect...

Yang Wenjing's expression changed repeatedly; after a long while, she slumped to the ground in despair.

Her hands trembling, she opened her wine gourd, wanting to take a few sips to calm her nerves, but the wine spilled from the corners of her mouth.

Yang Wenjing threw the wine gourd away and said with a trembling voice, "Where is he?"

"He's at the Life-and-Death Arena, gambling with a disciple, fighting a death match..."

"Master!"

Upon hearing Xi Ling's voice, Su Chen no longer had any intention of entrapping minor villains.

He rushed to Yuhua Peak in a hurry.

Su Chen was very flustered, afraid that Yang Wenjing would directly hand him over.

It wasn't that Su Chen hadn't thought of escaping, but the world was vast; where could he run to?

With his early Heavenly God cultivation, it would take him several years to fly across a large continent on his sword.

Even if he exerted his full escaping technique for an hour, a Profound God Great Power's divine sense could cover him.

It could be said that, vast as the world was, apart from his sect, there was no place for him to hide.

"Chen'er!" Yang Wenjing's lips moved, her eyes full of struggle.

This was the first disciple she had taken in; if she could, she would rather die than hand Su Chen over.

One must know that Su Chen was someone she had rescued from a group of pursuers; at that time, Su Chen's foundation was completely destroyed, and it was she who had spent countless resources to save him.

Su Chen had poured too much of her heart and soul into him.

This is bad... Seeing this, Su Chen's heart pounded.

What was Master hesitating and struggling about?

Why wasn't she firmly on his side?

Why wasn't she immediately arranging an escape route for him?

Could it be that Master also feared Xi Ling's power, also clung to life and feared death, and wanted to hand him over to save herself?

Countless thoughts surged in Su Chen's mind; Yang Wenjing's change of heart felt like a knife twisting in his heart, as if his world had collapsed.

"Junior Sister!" Su Chen's face turned pale, and he turned to look at Nangong Bingru.

He hoped Nangong Bingru could speak up for him and change Yang Wenjing's decision.

Nangong Bingru lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at Su Chen, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.

"Chen'er, come with me."

After waiting for Su Chen for a moment and seeing that he didn't proactively step forward to take responsibility.

Yang Wenjing took a deep breath and said this.

She truly didn't want to hand over Su Chen, but if she didn't, she would die, Heavenly Sword Sect would die, and the billions of living beings in the entire Chang Sheng Tian Yu would all perish.

Xi Ling was a complete madwoman.

The crucial point was that no one could restrain this madwoman.

Not even Immortal King giants.

"What?"

"Master, are you really going to push me out to die?"

"Why?"

Even though he had anticipated it, hearing Yang Wenjing actually wanting to push him out to die still caused Su Chen an uncontrollable pang of heartache.

This was followed by towering rage.

Su Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared his question.

He had always regarded Yang Wenjing as his Master, acknowledging her from the bottom of his heart, yet at the critical moment of life and death, Yang Wenjing actually wanted to betray him.

Were all those kindnesses towards him fake?

In the face of life and death, did Yang Wenjing reveal her true nature, also wanting to climb the social ladder and curry favor with Xi Ling?

...Let's update two chapters first. It's already 1.2 million words, and I'm a bit unsure about the plot; the more I write, the less confident I become, and I don't know how to write anymore.

Let me save some drafts first, so if I make a mistake, I can rework it!

As a fresh new author with little experience, I've never written a million-word novel. If there are any parts that aren't well-written, please, please don't give bad reviews! I beg you!
