29: Chapter 29 Burial Immortal Mountain Range, Luo Yuyan!

"To think a System investment task was triggered?"

As Zhou Yuxuan listened to the sudden notification sound from the System, he felt quite bewildered.

After all, in the original plot, Jin Qiaoer was a heroine with immense Luck.

"Could it be because of Su Chen's death? Plus, since Jin Qiaoer is already under my command, has she also become one of the villains?"

Zhou Yuxuan muttered inwardly.

[Bingo! Congratulations to the host for guessing correctly, but there is no reward!]

The System's simple, cold voice rang out in Zhou Yuxuan's mind once more.

Upon getting the answer, the look of confusion on Zhou Yuxuan's face instantly vanished.

Immediately, seeing Jin Qiaoer staring unblinkingly at the ice jade dragon fruit in his hand, he didn't hesitate and handed it directly to her.

"Here! Take it!"

Looking at the King Rank High Grade medicinal treasure suddenly handed over, even Jin Qiaoer couldn't help but be stunned.

"Saint, Your Highness—ah, no, Young Lord, is this really for me?"

Jin Qiaoer asked cautiously, fearing that this was a test from Zhou Yuxuan after he had sensed something amiss about her.

"Yes! It's for you!"

"Since you are now one of my people, I, the Saint, never mistreat my own!"

Zhou Yuxuan said indifferently. In his view, the reward obtained from the investment was far more precious than this ice jade dragon fruit.

"Thank you, Young Lord!" Jin Qiaoer accepted the ice jade dragon fruit repeatedly, then very carefully placed it into her Storage Pouch.

The way she was so careful, terrified of damaging the ice jade dragon fruit, made Zhou Yuxuan watch with a helpless smile.

"There is no need to be so careful. As long as you truly obey me, this little thing is just child's play!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Qiaoer immediately said respectfully, "Young Lord, rest assured. Qiaoer swears by her Dao Heart that in this life and this world, I am the Young Lord's person and will only obey the Young Lord!"

Zhou Yuxuan heard this and didn't say much else.

Just as the two were about to head deeper, "BOOM!!!"

A loud noise suddenly came from the mountains in the distance, and flames shot into the sky.

Countless eerie mists in the surroundings were now madly converging in that direction.

"Young Lord!" Jin Qiaoer was about to warn him, but she saw Zhou Yuxuan's eyes light up, his heterochromatic pupils shining with gold and blue colors.

"Quick, follow me!"

Zhou Yuxuan's voice fell, and immediately after, he took Jin Qiaoer and rushed toward the direction from which the explosion came.

...

At this time, on the outskirts of the Immortal Burying Mountain Range, a youth wearing black robes and carrying a strange ancient ruler on his back shouted at a mouse running rapidly on the ground.

"Old Ancestor! Look at what you've done; you've caused me so much trouble!"

The youth was Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family of the Great Xia Dynasty, and at this moment, his face was full of bitterness.

"Bah! You brat, don't be ungrateful. Just now, I, your Old Ancestor, went through great trouble to blow open that Restriction. As long as you go in and retrieve what I, your Old Ancestor, hid there years ago, I guarantee you will have the strength to defeat that girl who humiliated you within three years!"

The mouse, which had been running on the ground, suddenly jumped onto Xiao Yan's shoulder and said with a proud face.

"How is that possible? That's a True Disciple of the Tianyuan Holy Sect. Old Ancestor, what did you hide?"

Xiao Yan asked with a confused face.

His initial words about defeating Dongfang Lingyun in three years were just spoken in a fit of anger.

Now that he thought about it, breaking through five or six major Realms in three years to challenge a successor of the Tianyuan Holy Sect was simply too ignorant.

However, since the matter had already happened, he had to keep his word. After all, he now had the assistance of his own Xiao Family Old Ancestor. He didn't believe he couldn't accomplish this with his ancestor's help. After all, his Xiao Family ancestor was once a legendary figure.

"Brat! You are a descendant of my Xiao Family. Have you forgotten so quickly what I, your Old Ancestor, became famous for?"

The mouse on Xiao Yan's shoulder mentioned the past, and immediately, its tiny face revealed a look of pride.

"Old Ancestor, could it be your former Talisman Master Legacy inside?"

The mouse nodded.

"Not bad! Inside lies my Legacy, but so many years have passed, I don't know how much of the Legacy remains. If some offensive talismans are left, hehe! We might even be able to barge into some major sects!"

As this mouse spoke, it couldn't help but reveal a cunning smile.

And this smile seemed to be hereditary, as it also appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion that nearly shattered their eardrums came from afar.

"Human! How dare you steal my essence! Die for this King!"

Xiao Yan and the mouse on his shoulder couldn't help but cover their ears and looked toward the distance.

They saw that in the distant sky, a woman in white, as ethereal as a fairy, was confronting a purple lion king.

...

"Young Lord! Look, there is someone there!"

Zhou Yuxuan and his companion, who were originally rushing toward the direction of the towering flames, were forced to stop by this explosion.

Zhou Yuxuan looked in the direction Jin Qiaoer was pointing.

Similarly, the back of a woman dressed in white came into view.

And opposite this woman was a giant, ferocious-looking purple lion king.

"To think it's her!" A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Yuxuan's eyes.

He was quite familiar with that woman in white.

This person was named Sect Master Luo Yuyan, the Sect Master of the Changhe Sect, a first-rate power in the Eastern Region.

In the original plot, Xiao Yan rescued Sect Master Luo Yuyan, who had been severely injured by the Purple-Winged Lion King, in the Immortal Burying Mountain Range, and subsequently became acquainted with this Sect Master of the Changhe Sect.

Moreover, this Sect Master Luo Yuyan stood up for Xiao Yan several times whenever he encountered crises afterward.

It could be said that if Xiao Yan hadn't had Sect Master Luo Yuyan's protection in the early stages, he might have died long ago in the assassination attempts by the Zhou Family.

Zhou Yuxuan looked at the back of Sect Master Luo Yuyan with a deep gaze.

"She is here, so wouldn't Xiao Yan be nearby?"

"Perfect, wiping them out in one go will save me the trouble!"

Cold light gleamed in Zhou Yuxuan's eyes as two different auras—scorching hot and icy cold—radiated from his body.

"Let's go! We're going over!"

Zhou Yuxuan said, then took Jin Qiaoer's hand and walked over.

Jin Qiaoer's Physique was very special; keeping her by his side could reduce others' perception of him.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Yuxuan brought Jin Qiaoer into the Immortal Burying Mountain Range.

After all, his trip was not just as simple as dealing with Xiao Yan; he had to go deeper into the Immortal Burying Mountain Range to seek an even greater Opportunity.
