108: Slay through the Heavenly Abyss Battlefield

Squeak?

Xiao Zi looked at Su Ningying, then at Bai Xiyin.

A look of utter confusion.

Su Ningying looked up, only to see Bai Xiyin's resentful gaze.

Then she looked at Xiao Zi in her arms.

Everything clicked instantly.

She was just kissing Xiao Zi... Hmph!

This girl

Is here to disturb me and Senior Brother again!

We were clearly about to succeed... "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Bai Xiyin's eyes flickered, her meaning self-evident.

You're breaking the rules!

"Fourth Junior Sister, why did you come?" Qin Tian was somewhat puzzled.

He clearly came here alone and hadn't told anyone.

"I... I just happened to be passing by!" Bai Xiyin's eyes darted around.

Su Ningying curled her lip.

Who would believe that!

"Ningying will be leaving soon to go to the restricted area with Senior Qiong Zhi."

Qin Tian's words caused Bai Xiyin's breath to hitch as she looked at Su Ningying in disbelief.

"You're leaving?"

Su Ningying put her hands on her hips, "Hmph! I know you're happy inside right now, but don't get too ahead of yourself. I'll be back in a hundred years at most!"

Happy?

Bai Xiyin didn't know.

One less person fighting for Senior Brother—she should probably be happy, right?

But why did her heart suddenly feel empty?

"What are you going to do? Why do you need to leave for a hundred years?"

Bai Xiyin was uncharacteristically serious as she looked into Su Ningying's eyes and asked earnestly.

Su Ningying was stunned.

Shouldn't she be giggling and teasing me?

What is this expression?

It's as if she's reluctant to see me go?

Su Ningying suspected she was hallucinating.

"To Cultivate, what else could it be."

Bai Xiyin paused, "Can you... not go?"

Astonishment flared in Su Ningying's eyes, "You aren't actually reluctant to see me leave, are you?"

"No."

"If you go and suddenly become very powerful, then I'll be the only weak one left on Divine Firmament Peak... that would be so embarrassing..."

Su Ningying: "..."

I knew it!

How could Bai Xiyin possibly be reluctant to see me go!

I actually felt touched for a moment!

What a waste!

"Hmph, I'm not weak at all!"

"Yes, you're not weak, so you definitely don't need Senior Brother's protection." Bai Xiyin directly linked her arm with Qin Tian's, "From now on, Senior Brother only needs to protect me..."

"Right, Senior Brother?"

Su Ningying gnashed her teeth.

Qin Tian gave a helpless smile, "Alright, Grandmaster is also in the Imperial City, go and say your goodbyes properly."

"As for Revered Master and Third Junior Sister..."

Qin Tian didn't know where Yun Xi had gone.

Han Qing had also been taken away by the Ancient Moon Clan... "I left a Jade Slip; Senior Brother, please give it to Revered Master and Third Junior Sister for me," Su Ningying spoke slowly. "And this... is for you..."

As she spoke, Su Ningying stuffed a Jade Slip into Bai Xiyin's hand.

"You're not allowed to look yet. Wait until I'm gone!"

With those words, she flickered and vanished, holding Xiao Zi.

Bai Xiyin stood frozen in place, clutching the warm Jade Slip, her heart filled with an unidentifiable feeling.

"Is Senior Sister really leaving..."

"Yes." Qin Tian nodded.

He felt his arm tighten; the reluctance hidden in Bai Xiyin's heart finally showed on her Face... Qiong Zhi took Su Ningying away without telling many people.

As for the matter of the World Tree, no one knew except for Qin Tian.

Three days later.

At the Inner City Square, a group of Tian Yuan Guardss assembled.

When Qin Tian arrived, everyone's gaze immediately turned toward him.

Nowadays, the entire Imperial City was discussing his relationship with the Qin Family.

Some even speculated that Qin Tian was an illegitimate son the Qin Family had raised on the outside!

"How does it feel?" Qin Yu came to Qin Tian's side and spoke with a smile.

"Not much different."

"Longevity Ancestor personally met you, so you are already a member of my Qin Family. Countless eyes will be watching you."

"Among them, there are plenty who want you dead!"

Qin Tian was slightly surprised, "Did this happen often in the past?"

Qin Yu nodded, "Many geniuses perished before they could grow up, including my younger brother..."

"The hearts of some people are no longer with the Immortal Ancient."

"You must be careful."

"Additionally, once we leave the Imperial City, we won't act with them. Senior Jiu Luo will notify us when the time comes."

Qin Tian nodded.

With such a large movement of the Tian Yuan Guardss, it was impossible for the alien races not to know.

However, since the mission objective was held by the Heavenly Monarchs, the chance of being discovered by the alien races was much smaller.

If they were discovered, it would mean the traitor was among those few Heavenly Monarchs.

"Set out!"

A voice echoed through the heavens.

One by one, figures turned into streaks of light, heading toward the Tian Yuan.

"Let's go."

Qin Yu murmured.

Xuan Qi, Shi Jian, and Jiu Xiang took to the air simultaneously.

Xue Yi stood beside Qin Tian, "Qin Tian, after we return this time, can you come back to the Xue Clan with me?"

"Hmm?" Qin Tian was a bit confused.

"Before becoming the Snow Clan Saintess, there are some ceremonies. If possible, I want you to witness them with me."

The Xue Clan... my mother should be going there too, right?

And Revered Master... "Alright."

Hearing this, a flash of joy appeared in Xue Yi's eyes.

"Then it's a promise!"

With that, Xue Yi turned into a streak of light and left.

Qin Tian smiled, "It seems becoming a Saintess really can make one happy."

Ripples surged in the Void Realm.

Qin Tian vanished... Light flickered as he stepped out from layers of Restrictions.

The chaotic aura of the Tian Yuan rushed toward him.

But this time, Qin Tian seemed to feel something different.

Within the chaotic aura, there seemed to be an intangible power maintaining the balance between various Laws.

It appeared disordered, but in truth, a new order was being established within that disorder... "To suddenly have this feeling, is it because of the enlightenment tea?"

"Or is it because I met Longevity Ancestor...?"

After thinking for a moment, Qin Tian stopped dwelling on it.

Right now, there were more important things to do.

He was going to kill his way through this Tian Yuan Battlefield.

He would take the heads of all the younger generation in the Eternal Foreign Realm... Imperial City.

On the quiet lake surface, Qin Longevity frowned.

"Still can't catch one?"

"Boring, boring."

He tossed the fishing rod aside.

"The Three-Tailed Fortune Fish: one for Heavenly Luck, one for Earthly Luck, and one for the Luck of Living Beings."

"Do you know why, after thousands of years, you haven't been able to catch even one?"

An aged voice echoed continuously.

Qin Longevity curled his lip, "What else could it be? It's just that my Luck isn't as good as that little fellow's..."

"Not so."

"Not so."

The phantom of an old man condensed by the lakeside.

He picked up the fishing rod and gave it a gentle lift.

A fish with colorful scales easily leaped into the old man's hand.

Qin Longevity paused.

The old man's phantom gradually dissipated.

The colorful scales entered the water again.

"Changsheng, your talent is unprecedented; you are the one with the most hope of proving the Dao of Longevity."

"But you are still missing one thing."

"Go watch that little fellow. Perhaps you might even be able to realize it from him..."

The voice echoed in his ears.

Qin Longevity muttered, "After all that talk, you still just want me to go protect that little fellow."

"The Old Ancestor really thinks highly of him."

"Fine, fine. I haven't stretched my limbs for thousands of years."

"I wonder if those fellows in the Tian Yuan have missed me."

As he spoke, a smile curled on Qin Longevity's lips.

That smile carried a boundless killing intent, enough to make any alien race... despair..."
