197: Chapter 197 I...I haven't even said I accept you yet.

"Li Qing..."

Yuan Ling looked at Li Qing with hazy eyes.

Yuan Feng's cultivation was higher, so she remained somewhat clear-headed, but her face was flushed and fine beads of sweat covered her forehead; it looked like she wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

*Sigh...*

Li Qing gave a light sigh, took out Gong Suyun's Immortal Abode, and took the two women inside.

Then, with a flash of his silhouette, he vanished.

Several days later.

Atop a giant peak, Li Qing stood with his hands behind his back.

Yuan Ling held Li Qing's arm, while Yuan Feng lightly bit her red lip, looking at Li Qing with a complicated gaze.

Given the situation that day, Li Qing had no choice but to detoxify them.

Now, they were Li Qing's women.

However, Yuan Feng didn't know how she felt in her heart.

Yuan Ling, on the other hand, didn't mind at all.

Li Qing had saved her several times, so she didn't feel any repulsion toward him.

"Where are we going now?"

Yuan Ling looked at Li Qing with eyes like stars.

"The Immortal Court."

[Yuan Feng is the future Lord of the Immortal Court.]

[Whether for the plot progression or control of the Immortal Gates, I can't let other Divine Kingdoms seize it.]

[Otherwise, who knows how badly the later plot will collapse.]

[Reclaim the Immortal Court.]

What?

He wants to reclaim the Immortal Court.

Yuan Feng was startled.

Currently, at least seven or eight factions occupied the Immortal Court, and there were at least four Peak Quasi-Saints; this was too risky.

"But the Immortal Court is very dangerous right now."

Yuan Ling looked at Li Qing with concern.

"Don't worry, I will make sure your sister sits in that position as the Lord of the Immortal Court."

Li Qing smiled.

"I don't care about being the Lord of the Immortal Court."

Yuan Feng lightly bit her red lip as she looked at Li Qing.

"Rest assured, it'll be fine."

Li Qing reached out and pulled Yuan Feng into his embrace.

Yuan Feng's body stiffened, her eyes widening as she looked at Li Qing.

I... I haven't said I've accepted you yet.

"Let's go."

Divine light swept around Li Qing's body, and he vanished from the spot with the two women.

Yinshen Jade, standing to the side, stomped her foot huffily and followed after them.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Meanwhile, within the territory of the Immortal Court, countless Heavenly Soldiers were resisting the invasion of various Divine Kingdom soldiers. Only a few Immortal Court Generals remained, struggling in their final stand.

"Obliterate."

Dazzling divine light erupted from Xian Yifan's eyes as a boundless starry sky manifested, suppressing the remaining Heavenly Soldiers of the Immortal Court.

"It's over."

Many Divine Generals of the Immortal Court showed looks of despair.

"Is it fun for a Quasi-Saint to bully the weak?"

At that moment, a faint voice rang out from the horizon. It wasn't loud, yet it shook the heavens.

*Hum.*

A golden sword light pierced through the sun, moon, and stars, appearing before Xian Yifan in a flash.

"Not good!"

Xian Yifan turned pale with fright as a top-grade Immortal Shield manifested to block his front.

*Boom!*

The golden sword light directly pierced through the Immortal Shield and shot through Xian Yifan's body.

"Saint Realm Sword Intent!"

Terror appeared in Xian Yifan's eyes.

In the next instant, terrifying cracks appeared on his Immortal body, and he directly exploded into dust.

The world wailed.

A generation's Quasi-Saint had fallen.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.*

Immortal light flashed in the nearby sky, and four figures appeared, their vast pressure shaking the world.

They were actually four Peak Quasi-Saints.

Ji Changhong was among them.

"Xian Yifan is dead."

Shock appeared in the eyes of the four.

"Saint Realm Sword Intent."

"A Saint has taken action."

The four were pale with fright as they felt the faint Saint Realm Sword Intent lingering in the air.

*Whoosh.*

Just then, divine light swept near the four, and Li Qing's group of three emerged. Standing with his hands behind his back, he said:

"Immediately, right now, get out of the Immortal Court."

The voice wasn't loud, but it shook the surrounding tens of thousands of miles, and a faint Saint Realm Sword Intent radiated from his body.

"A Saint!"

The four showed looks of horror.

Saints hadn't appeared in the Immortal Realm for a long time. Legend had it that Saints had their own Saint Domains, just as Immortals had the Immortal Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Li is a Saint?"

Ji Changhong was struck with shock.

"The Ji Family withdraws from the Immortal Court."

"We shall never intrude again."

Ji Changhong bowed deeply to Li Qing and immediately flashed away.

The expressions of the other three Peak Quasi-Saints changed drastically.

"We are willing to withdraw from the Immortal Court."

"We shall never intrude again."

The three Peak Quasi-Saints bowed to Li Qing and fled immediately.

"From this day forth, Yuan Feng is the Lord of the Immortal Court, ruling the four directions of the Immortal Realm and controlling the myriad Immortal Gates," Li Qing said indifferently.

The terrifying Saint Realm Sword Intent carried his voice, spreading it throughout the entire Central Immortal Territory.

"It's the Saint Realm Sword Intent."

"A Saint has intervened."

"The Immortal Court has a new master."

"Yuan Feng? Isn't she the former War God of the Immortal Court?"

The entire Central Immortal Territory was in an uproar, and the news began to spread across the entire Immortal Realm.

"I..."

Yuan Feng started to speak but stopped.

She had just said she didn't care for it, and now she had become the Lord of the Immortal Court.

"Congratulations, Sister, on becoming the Lord of the Immortal Court!" Yuan Ling congratulated Yuan Feng with a giggle.

"Your appointment as the Lord of the Immortal Court is in accordance with the Heavenly Dao."

"Help your sister for a while."

Li Qing smiled.

Then, with a flash of his silhouette, he directly fled.

He was truly afraid that Yuan Feng wouldn't accept the position.

"You..."

Yuan Feng was so angry.

I still have things to say to you!

Why are you running?

We have no formal status; when are we going to get married?

"Sister, have you fallen for him?" Yuan Ling winked at Yuan Feng.

"Fallen for him?"

"For him?"

Yuan Feng gave Yuan Ling a sidelong glance.

"Greetings, Immortal Emperor."

All the nearby Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Immortal Court knelt on one knee to pay their respects to Yuan Feng.

Several days later.

Another piece of news shook the Immortal Realm once again.

The Ji Family was wiped out by a bolt of Purple Divine Lightning; Gu Beichen fled once more, and Ji Changhong was heavily injured.

Atop a giant peak.

Li Qing was stunned upon receiving the news.

[Damn, this child of destiny really isn't that easy to sleep with.]

[He actually dragged the entire Ji Family down with him.]

*Boom!*

Just then, thunderclouds suddenly gathered in the nearby sky, and a terrifying bolt of purple lightning descended from the heavens, striking into a nearby abyss.

"Purple lightning."

Li Qing was taken aback.

"Husband, it is the Heavenly Dao Lightning Punishment."

Yinshen Jade's gaze sharpened.

[Heavenly Dao Lightning Punishment?]

[What kind of person requires the Heavenly Dao to personally step in and punish them?]

[No matter what, I have to go see this.]

Li Qing moved his body and flew toward the abyss.

Yinshen Jade quickly followed.

Before long, Li Qing reached the bottom of the abyss and saw a graceful figure lying on the ground, her body covered in scorch marks.

The woman was dressed in green, and her clothes had been split open in many places by the lightning, revealing patches of skin.

The Woman in Green seemed to sense something; she raised her eyes and met Li Qing's gaze.

"It's you."

Li Qing was startled.

"I don't know you."

The Woman in Green turned her head away, not wanting Li Qing to see her in such a wretched state.

*Boom!*

Suddenly, another bolt of purple lightning descended from the heavens, carrying a terrifying Great Dao Intent as it struck the Woman in Green heavily.

The Woman in Green's entire body trembled, her jade-like hands digging deep into the soil, yet she didn't make a single sound.

[Wait, what did she do?]

[For the Heavenly Dao to punish her like this.]

[This is too brutal.]

Li Qing moved his body, preparing to go over and save her.

"Don't come over."

"It's none of your business."

"Just three more lightning punishments and it'll be over."

The Woman in Green suddenly turned her head, looking at Li Qing with gritted teeth, her eyes filled with icy coldness.

What else could it be?

You've ruined the child of destiny's good fortune several times.

I didn't tell my true self.

This lightning punishment is all because of you.

You bastard.

"Li Qing, remember this."

"Your life..."

"...is mine."
