122: Damn, why does it smell so strongly of lilies?

As a Quasi-Emperor Seventh Layer expert and the sect master of the Jueqing Immortal Sect, Shen Ningshuang naturally sent her congratulations to the Xuan Clan on the day of the Xuan Clan Imperial Son's grand wedding.

She had seen Xuan Tianchen once from afar amidst the crowd.

And the young man standing before her now, with that same domineering aura that looked down on heaven and earth, was identical to that Xuan Clan Imperial Son.

Without a doubt, this was the Xuan Clan Imperial Son in person!

No wonder he could force Yanran to such a state with just his Saint Monarch cultivation.

But didn't the rumors say that the Xuan Clan Imperial Son was already a True Immortal cultivator at less than twenty years old?

Why was he only at the Saint Monarch realm now?

And when did Yanran step into the Supreme realm?

Could it be that she had a great fortuitous encounter on her trip down the mountain and fully awakened her inheritance?

At this moment, Shen Ningshuang was completely bewildered.

Her still-charming face was filled with doubt and deep solemnity... Due to the suddenness of the event, in order to stop Xuan Tianchen from attacking Yanran.

She hadn't even seen the opponent's appearance clearly before directly unleashing a killing blow.

This action must have angered This Imperial Son.

This meant provoking the entire Xuan Clan.

A small Jueqing Immortal Sect could not withstand the wrath of an Imperial Clan.

The complete annihilation of the Immortal Ye Family in the past was a clear example.

What she could do now was to try her best to remedy her actions.

Thinking this, Shen Ningshuang quickly bowed to Xuan Tianchen, speaking with a very respectful tone:

“Shen Ningshuang, the current sect master of the Jueqing Immortal Sect, greets This Imperial Son. I was unaware of This Imperial Son’s arrival in the Jueqing Immortal Domain and failed to greet you properly. I hope This Imperial Son will be magnanimous.”

Seeing this, Xuan Tianchen couldn't help but size up the woman who had just attacked him.

“The sect master of the Jueqing Immortal Sect, no wonder you dared to attack This Imperial Son. Aren't you afraid that This Imperial Son, if displeased, would destroy your Jueqing Immortal Sect?”

Xuan Tianchen’s voice was extremely cold, and his blood-red eyes revealed an astonishing killing intent without any concealment.

From the moment Shen Ningshuang attacked him, the fate of the Jueqing Immortal Sect was already sealed.

Sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, the Heartless Empress quickly shouted to Shen Ningshuang:

“Master, be careful! There’s a terrifying expert hidden behind him. Elder Han Xue died under his pressure!”

Shen Ningshuang’s expression grew even more solemn upon hearing this.

The opponent had suppressed a Quasi-Emperor Sixth Level expert with just his pressure; killing her, a Quasi-Emperor Seventh Layer, would naturally be effortless.

The current situation was far more serious than she had previously anticipated!

“It was I who was blind just now, rashly offending This Imperial Son. I hope This Imperial Son, being a great person, will not bother with us.”

In Shen Ningshuang’s view, the demise of Elder Han Xue was already irreversible.

The most important thing now was to appease the wrath of this terrifying fiend from the Xuan Clan.

Lest the Jueqing Immortal Sect face utter destruction.

After all, This Imperial Son of the Xuan Clan did not seem to be joking.

Facing such a humble Shen Ningshuang, Xuan Tianchen couldn't help but sneer:

“Sorry, This Imperial Son is very narrow-minded. Even if a dog by the roadside barks at This Imperial Son twice, This Imperial Son will give it two slaps.

And you, a dignified Quasi-Emperor Expert, just attacked This Imperial Son.

If This Imperial Son hadn't had thick skin, This Imperial Son might have died under your killing blow!

So... my still-charming woman, do you think This Imperial Son can just let this go?”

Seeing the Xuan Clan Imperial Son’s unyielding attitude, Shen Ningshuang knew that today's matter was destined to end badly.

Without the slightest hesitation, she instantly appeared beside the Heartless Empress.

“Yanran, how are your injuries?”

“Master, don’t mind me, hurry and escape, never return to the Heavens!”

“Foolish disciple, even when facing a behemoth like the Xuan Clan, your master cannot bear to abandon you!”

“Master, there’s no time! The Xuan Clan is not as simple as merely an Imperial Clan on the surface. The one who caused my demise in the past was very likely the Xuan Clan, and I, in my past life, was an Immortal Emperor cultivator!”

At this moment, the Heartless Empress spoke all the conjectures in her heart.

Although her true identity was the Heartless Empress, she and Shen Ningshuang were master and disciple.

She didn't want Shen Ningshuang to fall here, making a meaningless sacrifice.

As expected, when the latter heard the Heartless Empress's words, her face was filled with disbelief and surprise.

“Immortal Emperor!”

Shen Ningshuang never expected that her disciple was once an Immortal-level expert!

If such a powerful existence could fall, then how terrifying must the enemy be?

At this moment, even she, with her Quasi-Emperor Seventh Layer cultivation, couldn't help but feel fear and worry.

“Yanran, no matter who you were in the past, you will always be my disciple. If the Xuan Clan is truly as terrifying as you say, then how can I, a mere Quasi-Emperor, escape!”

Shen Ningshuang had already made the worst preparations when she left the Jueqing Immortal Sect.

Since she couldn't hide, she would fight to the death!

“Master, I’m sorry, I’ve implicated you!”

Looking at her master, who cared for her as always, the Heartless Empress felt immense guilt in her heart.

For a moment, the two couldn't help but embrace and weep.

However, Xuan Tianchen, watching this scene of deep master-disciple affection, couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust.

“Damn it, why is there such a strong scent of lilies? This forest is so big, it really has all sorts of birds!”

Regardless of anything, with a thought, he moved.

The domineering Saint Monarch quasi-emperor dharma idol suddenly swung the zhūtiān battle halberd in its hand, striking down towards Shen Ningshuang and the Heartless Empress with an invincible posture.

This time, Xuan Tianchen no longer held back, fully unleashing his Immortal Dao Saint Monarch Third Layer cultivation.

Beneath the mighty Saint power, there was also supreme Imperial might, truly terrifying!

“Jueqing Immortal Lotus!”

“Jueqing One Sword!”

Facing such a terrifying killing blow, Shen Ningshuang and the Heartless Empress, having regained their senses, quickly unleashed their strongest powers to resist.

After all, the destructive power brought by Imperial Weapons was no joke; even Quasi-Emperor Experts had to take it seriously.

For a moment, three towering quasi-emperor dharma idols, looking down on heaven and earth, unleashed their most terrifying killing moves upon each other.

“Boom...”

With a heaven-shattering explosion, the three's killing moves collided in an instant.

The entire void universe, which had just recovered, was once again violently torn apart under such power.

Wherever the aftershocks passed, the endless star rivers instantly dimmed.

One could only say that encountering Xuan Tianchen, this world had suffered greatly.

“Pfft...”

Suddenly, the Heartless Empress, who had already been severely injured, violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then her delicate body was struck by a terrifying force and sent flying backward, like a streak of light cutting through the sky and rapidly falling.

What followed was a mournful phoenix cry.

As for the Supreme quasi-emperor dharma idol she had manifested, it collapsed under the might of Xuan Tianchen’s war halberd.

“Yanran!”

Shen Ningshuang, a Quasi-Emperor Seventh Layer, watched this scene, and her anger surged, causing her to lose control.

As the aura of her quasi-emperor dharma idol ascended, she actually managed to repel Xuan Tianchen’s zhūtiān battle halberd, which was capable of piercing through the universe, with a single strike.

Then she turned and traversed the void, rapidly chasing after the Heartless Empress’s falling location.

And this destination was none other than the Red Dust Grotto-Heaven!

Xuan Tianchen looked at the direction the other party left in, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

“It still takes a Quasi-Emperor Expert to be fun to kill!”

With that, he dismissed his quasi-emperor dharma idol and then unhurriedly gave chase.

No one Xuan Tianchen wanted to kill had ever escaped, not even a Quasi-Emperor Expert!
