Zhu Xianxian hated Li Qihong bitterly, but there was no evidence. At that time, only the two of them were present. The two accused each other.
Chao Xiangzi glanced at Li Qihong, a look that sent her plunging into an ice cave, chilling her to the bone.
"Young Master, although my grandniece is spoiled, she would never harm anyone," Elder Li naturally sided with his grandniece. He had never married and cherished his nephew's family as his own sons. Li Qihong, hearing her granduncle defend her, straightened her back and walked away haughtily. Hmph! If she didn't die this time, she wouldn't be so lucky next time!
Hearing Elder Li's words, Chao Xiangzi looked at Zhu Xianxian with suspicion. After all, she had a history of being cold-hearted... Then he flicked his sleeve and left, unwilling to get involved.
"Cousin~~ I didn't lie, she pushed me!" Zhu Xianxian panicked, crying buckets of tears. Her cousin didn't believe her anymore...
Meanwhile, at the Assembly Hall of Chaotian Immortal Sect, discussions were underway regarding the rift in the barrier.
"We still need to notify other sects to attend the meeting. This is not something one sect can handle."
"Yes, once the barrier is damaged, people from Tianxing Continent will come to Tianchen Continent to seize resources. At that time, we will likely fall into war."
"Yes~~ yes~"
... The crowd murmured amongst themselves.
Chaoyangzi remained silent throughout the discussion. Seeing that both the Sect Master and the Sect's Chosen Son had not spoken, all the other elders fell silent and expressed their readiness to follow the Sect Master's decision.
"Yang'er, what do you think should be done about this matter?" the Sect Master Chao asked Chaoyangzi, who had not uttered a word since entering the Assembly Hall.
"So what if the barrier is broken? The two continents were once united. If anyone breaks the rules, we'll just beat them into submission!" Chaoyangzi's voice was cold.
"This, this is feasible?" an elder asked, wide-eyed.
"Let me remind you, that barrier is corroded. Within half a year, it will be breached again. Instead of thinking about what to do, it's better to directly convene all the sect leaders to discuss the consequences after the barrier dissipates," Chaoyangzi said and left.
Chaoyangzi arrived at the back mountain where sect disciples practiced. The sect had been peaceful for too long.
"Senior Brother Yang, you're here?" Qi Zhen put away his sword and ran over to greet Chaoyangzi.
"Mm, I came to take a look. Have the swordsmanship of the junior brothers improved recently? I've asked someone to spar with you." Chaoyangzi snapped his fingers. An Ya jumped out from his hidden spot.
Everyone stopped their practice. Upon seeing the legendary, elusive leader of the hidden guards, someone they had only heard of but never seen, the commander of the young master's hidden guards, they were all eager to try. Being instructed by this commander would surely greatly improve their swordsmanship! https:/
Chaoyangzi turned and left. He wanted to know the combat proficiency of the sect disciples, and An Ya would give him a satisfactory answer.
"Master, you're back?" Qilin, carrying a large spider, flew towards Chaoyangzi in a gust of wind. As soon as it landed, it transformed into human form. Shui Zhi Dao Chi Zu was also thrown to the ground and transformed into human form.
"Greetings, Young Master," Chi Zu said, cupping his hands in a salute.
"Mm, I've been back for some time. How about you two, were the Mist Spirit Fruits delicious?" Seeing the two of them reminded Chaoyangzi of the entire bag of spiritual plants and herbs he had handed over. Although they would be cultivated by the sect, handing them over voluntarily was different from being forced to!
"Haha, Master, you know. There's nothing good to eat in this sect, except for those Mist Spirit Fruits which are barely palatable. I even want to return to Penglai Immortal Island. Fairy Ye's island has so many spiritual fruits." Qilin's mouth watered at the thought of the various spiritual fruits on the island, as well as the delicious food...
"Exactly, exactly. I said I wanted to go back to the island, and these people from the sect said they would let me go back only after you returned. I really miss my wife," Chi Zu chimed in agreement.
"Master, why is it that as soon as I woke up, I heard you're getting married? And to some Saintess?" Qilin's voice was filled with disdain.
"What's wrong, do you have an opinion?" Chaoyangzi raised an eyebrow.
"Master, choose someone else! Fairy Ye is so good, she can cook and owns an island." Qilin thought it would be great if his master married Fairy Ye, then he could live on the island legitimately. He could even be a live-in son-in-law!
Chaoyangzi's teeth itched, wishing he could beat this idiot. Was he only worth a few meals?
"Are you looking for a beating? That is my Divine Venerable, how can you profane her!" After regaining his memories, Chaoyangzi dared not think too much. The Divine Venerable he had followed for hundreds of thousands of years was not someone mortals could covet. His duty was to protect the Divine Venerable! But in his heart, he couldn't help but compare. The current Divine Venerable, Ye Ju, seemed different, lively and human, showing her emotions openly, living happily!
Qilin was depressed. Did Master really want to marry that Saintess, so weak and speaking so delicately? Tsk, so his master liked this kind of fairy!
Chi Zu listened with a confused expression. He didn't care who Young Master Chao was marrying; he only cared if he could return to the island now. He missed his Weaver of Dreams terribly.
Chaoyangzi, anticipating Chi Zu's question, directly told him that Fairy Ye would be sending Du Xin to Chaotian Immortal Sect soon.
"Master, Fairy Ye is coming to the sect? It's winter now and snow beasts are active, it's very dangerous. Why don't Chi Zu and I go to meet her?" Qilin's eyes lit up at the thought of eating delicious food with Fairy Ye. For the sake of food, he wasn't afraid of being a medicinal subject for A You.
"No need."
Chaoyangzi ignored the two idiots and set off on his Qingfeng Sword. He was unaware of the internal struggle. Was he to get married? He would use this opportunity to send a message to the Divine Venerable and see her reaction. His and Hua Xun's situation back then was somewhat similar. He wanted to see how things would turn out.
Chaoyangzi returned to his study and personally wrote a letter, sending it with his sound transmission talisman. He then practiced his swordplay for a while.
His mind was unsettled. Ever since he sent the letter, he couldn't calm down. It was only when Madam Zhu sent a message asking to see him that he put away his sword, took a bath, and changed into black attire before going.
Meanwhile, on the island, Long San's body and soul were becoming more and more compatible after his resurrection and the addition of various spiritual plants and herbs on the island. After walking around the island, he proposed a bold idea to Ye Ju: to re-refine the island and turn it back into her spiritual dimension.
Ye Ju heard this conjecture at the dinner table. By this time, Xiao Mo had also come out of seclusion, having transformed into a true dragon. Ye Ju stated that this idea was too outrageous. This was a real island; how could it become a dimension?
"Xiao Ju Yin, have you ever gone to the bottom of the sea to look?" Long San asked lazily while drinking his wine.
"Ah, I haven't. What's wrong?" Ye Ju mumbled with her mouth full of lobster. Ever since Long San arrived on the island, Ye Ju discovered that with this great being around, everyone on the island, including herself, had been pushed to their limits. The benefit was that everyone's cultivation had increased. She now only had one Golden Core in her dantian, which was formed by five Golden Cores merging into one. In the words of the great being, her progress was too slow. When she reached the Nascent Soul stage, she would also refine the island.
However, Ye Ju was now piqued with curiosity. What was at the bottom of the sea?
