153: Two women vying for the emperor's favor

The Road of No Return was covered in yellow sand, with corpses everywhere.

Scattered broken weapons faintly clanged, as if recounting the vicissitudes of time.

Suddenly, a black vortex appeared in the Void Realm, and a pitch-black figure slowly stepped out.

The figure landed and slowly walked toward a broken Spiritual Spear.

"Xuantong, my good brother, we promised to live and die together, yet you left before me."

"But don't worry, I will make the person who killed you pay an extremely painful price. This is my promise to you, Sword Demon."

The Sword Demon grasped the broken spear shaft, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Clank clank~~

The clattering iron hooves of the netherworld chariot sounded heavily amidst the swirling yellow sand.

"Killing Intent!"

The Sword Demon's expression changed, and he instantly materialized a Bone Sword.

His scarlet eyes stared fixedly straight ahead.

Just as the iron hooves approached, the Sword Demon abruptly swung his sword.

Boom—

Where the Sword Qi passed, yellow sand surged toward the sky.

"Who dares to block the path of the netherworld chariot!"

A cold, arrogant, and angry voice came from the dust.

Simultaneously, a fierce Palm Force, like a sudden storm, rushed toward the Sword Demon.

Boom—

The Sword Demon turned his sword to block, and immediately the resulting Qi wave swept out, causing the ground to sink three zhang.

"How could this be..."

After the single move, disbelief flashed in the Sword Demon's eyes.

Looking at the Bone Sword in his hand, it had already begun to crack inch by inch.

"Ah~"

With a tragic scream, as the Bone Sword shattered, the Sword Demon instantly exploded and died.

Shen Lian's Palm Force had already exceeded the Sword Demon's endurance limit.

"Trying to block a chariot with a wall, overestimating oneself!"

Lifting the curtain, Shen Lian merely gave a ruthless scoff upon seeing the broken weapon added to the sand, then turned his gaze toward the entrance of the Void Realm Barrier.

Su Mengyao and Du Bingyan also jumped off the chariot and looked toward the entrance of the Void Spirit Realm with Shen Lian.

"Is this the entrance to the Spirit Realm?"

Su Mengyao asked curiously.

"I heard that for non-Spirit Realm people to freely enter and exit the Spirit Realm entrance, their cultivation must reach the Peak of the Primordial Chaos Realm. Otherwise, they will be torn to shreds by the opposing reverse winds of the Barrier entrance, leaving no bones behind,

But our cultivation is too low right now, I'm afraid we aren't qualified to enter."

Du Bingyan asked, "Then what should we do?"

Shen Lian heard this and was dismissive: "That rule only applies to the trash who follow the current. But before Shen Lian, there is no road that cannot be crossed. Step back, all of you!"

Su Mengyao and Du Bingyan immediately retreated more than ten zhang behind Shen Lian.

Shen Lian closed his Folding Fan, and immediately stomped his foot.

Instantly, the pressure of the Immortal Realm erupted explosively from his body.

"God-Demon One Thought, Heavenly Demon Opens the Path, Chaos Guides the Way."

"Break!"

As Shen Lian formed hand seals, a hundred-zhang Heavenly Demon Dharma Idol, condensed from countless Chaos, suddenly appeared behind him.

Following Shen Lian's deep shout, the Heavenly Demon spread its arms and forcefully ripped the Barrier apart to the left and right sides.

The Road of No Return immediately shook the mountains and earth, seemingly resisting the continued invasion of the person who was breaking the rules.

However, facing the peerless might of the madman, the small Barrier passage could not resist the tyrannical aura and opened immediately.

"Go!"

The moment the task was completed, Shen Lian turned into light and brought Su Mengyao and Du Bingyan into the netherworld chariot.

"Neigh~~"

The Netherworld Demonic Colt let out a long neigh toward the sky, immediately spreading its four hooves and galloping toward the Barrier entrance.

In just two breaths, it vanished above the Road of No Return.

"Roar~"

As Shen Lian departed, the remaining Heavenly Demon Dharma Idol immediately let out a mournful roar, then shattered and vanished into nothingness... Spirit Realm, Stepping Cloud Tower.

Young Master Xu, the son of the Spirit Realm Lord, was standing indifferently atop the tower, overlooking the scenery of this world.

"Young Master Xu..."

A soft, gentle call caused Young Master Xu to frown.

He slowly turned around, only to see Su Yuheng holding a Food Box and looking at him affectionately.

"Young Master Xu, this is the Spiritual Void Broth I specially cooked for you. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."

Su Yuheng opened the Food Box, and immediately a fragrant aroma overflowing with Spiritual Qi permeated the air above the Stepping Cloud Tower.

But Young Master Xu merely glanced at it indifferently and spat out two words: "Take it away."

Su Yuheng was stunned, but quickly smiled again: "So Young Master Xu doesn't like this. Then tell me what you want to eat, and I can make it for you."

Young Master Xu suddenly interrupted her: "Su Yuheng, what exactly do you want? You've gone to such great lengths to approach me, what is your purpose? Just say it directly!"

Su Yuheng's pretty face flushed: "Young Lord, I admire you, and I hope to stay by your side and take care of you."

"Heh, women..."

Young Master Xu replied disdainfully.

"What right do you have to stay by this Young Lord's side?"

"Because I like the Young Lord!"

Su Yuheng said anxiously.

"From the moment I first saw the Young Lord, I fell hopelessly in love with you. My eyes can no longer hold the shadow of any other man,

Every night is endless suffering for me. I just wonder, do I have a chance to enter your Dharma Eye?"

Young Master Xu smiled faintly: "You think a few boring love words can move this Young Master's heart? Su Yuheng, if I remember correctly,

you and Mu Yaoguang are Fellow Disciples, right? Don't you know your Junior Sister is also pursuing this Young Master?"

Su Yuheng: "I know this is excessive, but matters of the heart are not something one can control. It's like a baby not knowing when its first tooth will grow,

or a flower not knowing when it will wither. No one can predict whether they will see the sun rise the next day.

Young Lord, can you give me a chance, just accept me once? I don't need to be the Young Lord's Wife; it's enough for me to become one of your countless Dao Companions."

These words were so sickeningly sweet that even Young Master Xu found them cheesy.

What did Young Master Xu look like?

One could only say he was slightly anthropomorphic, but he was absolutely not handsome in the slightest.

The reason so many Female Cultivators pursued him was simply because of his identity as the Spirit Realm's Young Lord.

Of course, Young Master Xu lacked self-awareness. Having been sought after by countless Female Cultivators, he lost his original self and truly believed he was dashing and romantic.

"If you want to prove your love for this Young Lord, then refine the nine revolutions golden emperor pill. Perhaps this Young Lord can give you a chance to pursue me."

Su Yuheng's eyes immediately lit up. Just as she was about to speak, Mu Yaoguang's voice rang out from behind.

"Young Lord, I have brought you the nine revolutions golden emperor pill!"

"Bring it here for me to see."

Young Master Xu impatiently walked over to Mu Yaoguang and took the Medicine Box.

The moment he opened it, a golden light shot straight into the sky.

"Ha, the nine revolutions golden emperor pill! It's finally refined."

Young Master Xu was extremely happy, and he immediately showed a smile to Mu Yaoguang: "Valley Master Mu, thank you."

Mu Yaoguang's face immediately turned red: "I am willing to ease the Young Lord's worries."

Su Yuheng, who was standing nearby, immediately darkened her expression, glaring angrily at Mu Yaoguang with eyes that wished to tear her into ten thousand pieces.

Mu Yaoguang, in turn, gave her a provocative look.

At this moment, the two women were like fire and water; their former friendship as Fellow Disciples had long since vanished.

Young Master Xu deliberately ignored the emotional shift between the two women, secretly wishing they would fight more fiercely.

He loved the feeling of women fighting over him out of jealousy.

Especially beautiful women, who would even kill each other for his sake.

That marvelous sensation could simply not be described in detail with words.
