Chapter 266
Looking at the scenery before him, Yang Chen couldnât help but widen his eyes. The mountain peaks and ravines stretched across the landscape. But there was a lack of trees and fragrant grass, making it somewhat monotonous.
This point also left Yang Chen a bit puzzled. Yu Yourong was over four thousand years old. How could this be?
However, before he could think further, Yu Yourong reacted. A white palace gown instantly enveloped her voluptuous and delicate figure. Then, a handprint condensed from true qi came swinging toward Yang Chenâs cheek.
The space rippled, and Yang Chen immediately shifted sideways by more than ten zhang. The spot where he had just stoodâa white jade platform engraved with mysterious formationsâwas directly shattered into pieces by Yu Yourongâs palm.
The entire hall shook violently for a moment.
âDamn it!â Yang Chen cursed inwardly.
This old woman was truly going for the kill.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly; if that palm had hit him, even if he didnât die, heâd be gravely injured.
Yang Chenâs gaze turned toward Yu Yourong, whose face was dark and gloomy, and he hurriedly shouted: âHoly Lord, what are you doing? From beginning to end, this matter has nothing to do with this disciple! As the Holy Lord and a senior, even with your supreme cultivation, you canât just vent your anger on this disciple without reason! Besides, all of this happened so suddenly; itâs not like this disciple saw it on purpose!â
âShut your mouth!â Yu Yourongâs voice was grim, laced with deep shame and anger.
Thinking of the earlier scene, her killing intent surged. If this bastard werenât somewhat useful, sheâd really want to wipe him out completely.
She, Yu Yourong, the grand Holy Lord of the Dao Heaven, soon to transcend tribulation and become a True Immortalâa supreme beingâhad actually been completely seen by a junior like Yang Chen.
Damn it.
âHurry up and put your clothes on!â
Yu Yourong forcibly suppressed the killing intent in her heart and then coldly ordered.
Yang Chen took out a white robe and put it on.
At that moment, a voice came from the spatial entrance of the rear hallâit was the Second Elder: âHoly Lord, what happened?â
âItâs nothing; this seat is instructing the Holy Son in his cultivation!â Yu Yourong tried to make her voice sound calmer.
Then, another voice came from the spatial entranceâit was Yu Zun:
âAunt, Zunâer requests an audience!â
Yu Yourongâs voice carried clear impatience as she replied: âThis seat has no time to see you; go reflect on yourself properly!â
After saying that, Yu Yourong flicked her finger, sealing the spatial entrance that allowed sound to pass through.
Seeing this, Yang Chenâs lips couldnât help but curve into a slight smirk.
Zunâer, oh Zunâer, your aunt is in no mood to see you right now. After all, she and I just had a moment of complete honesty with each other.
Heh heh.
âYang Chen, what are you laughing at? This seat is asking you: when the Radiance and flames merge, it causes a violent explosionâdid you know this beforehand? Was this all part of your scheme?â Yu Yourong took a step forward, standing directly in front of Yang Chen.
Though a faint fragrance wafted from her, it couldnât mask the cold aura emanating from her body.
Yang Chen immediately said helplessly: âHoly Lord, am I really that kind of person in your eyes? The explosion earlier likely happened because the two energies werenât balanced. Moreover, you havenât refined the Glazed Sacred Heart Flameâitâs not your origin fire, so the rejection was extremely strong! Â The reason this disciple succeeded is because the flame is the origin fire of my physical body, and the Radiance is fused with the innate radiance essence in my primordial spirit. The two energies are relatively balanced!â
Hearing Yang Chenâs explanation, Yu Yourongâs eyes flickered, as if in thought.
Finally, she let out a cold snort. It was clear she accepted Yang Chenâs explanation. The Glazed Sacred Heart Flame reappeared in her palm. The flame, like glazed glass, exuded an elegant and holy aura, quite matching her temperament. But she couldnât refine it.
Because her current body was a piece of Lunar Divine Jade, which clashed with foreign flames. Unable to refine the Glazed Sacred Heart Flame, her control over the foreign fire would always remain superficial.
The kind of destructive energy Yang Chen wielded was something she was destined never to master.
âDamn it!â Yu Yourong directly dispersed the flame in her palm, growing angrier the more she thought about it.
She had originally planned to master that destructive energy to enhance her strength. Not only did she fail to control it, but this wretched Yang Chen had seen her entire body. Especially that flash of surprise in this bastardâs eyes at the time. He must have noticed something unusual about her.
Thinking of this, Yu Yourongâs fair cheeks couldnât help but flush slightly.
Her silver teeth clenched as she warned in a low voice: âYang Chen, if you dare to breathe even half a word about todayâs events, this seat will kill youâeven if it means giving up the Innate Radiance Essence!â
âŠ
âHoly Lord, rest assured, this disciple has always been tight-lipped! Besides, the relationship between the two of us is extraordinary. With the soul connection formed by dual cultivation of our primordial spirits, if Holy Lord doesnât even trust this disciple, who else can you trust?â Yang Chen said with a serious expression.
In his mind, however, the image of that pristine ravine from earlier resurfaced. He couldnât help but wonder if it was because Yu Yourong, this beautiful woman, had fused with the Lunar Divine Jade that caused her to be different from ordinary people in that aspect.
âWho has an extraordinary relationship with you? You and this seat merely have a simple cooperative relationship! Stop trying to get close to this seat!â Yu Yourong scolded with a cold face. But the chill emanating from her body had noticeably lessened.
Yang Chen couldnât help but feel a sense of relief inwardly. For a beautiful woman like Yu Yourong, who held such a high position, her pride must undoubtedly be immense.
If there hadnât been the connection from their dual cultivation of primordial spirits, having seen her body and learned the secret of that part of her, this old woman would surely have spared no effort to kill him outright.
But now, she had only issued a few warnings.
Heh heh.
It seems the influence of the dual cultivation of primordial spirits was quite significant.
The matter of having Yu Yourong personally strengthen the bloodline of the Yu Clan could also be put on the agenda now.
Perhaps because she had just been completely open with Yang Chen, her emotions were rather complex, so Yu Yourong didnât continue speaking with him. Instead, she walked to the side, lost in thought about something.
At this moment, Yang Chen looked around and couldnât help but ask: âHoly Lord, this time weâre heading to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realmâwhy havenât I seen my master?â
Yang Chen felt some doubts in his heart.
His masterâs cultivation had also reached the Void Refinement Realm, and she was the Holy Maidenâwouldnât she be going to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm?
Moreover, during this period of time, he hadnât seen his master at all. Even when he became the Holy Son, his master didnât show up.
This didnât align with his masterâs usual behavior.
