"You donât need to call me senior, just call me Xu Nian. Xu Nian is my real name," Xu Nian said.
"Xu Nian? That name sounds kind of familiar," Liu Ling said in confusion.
Lu Xue looked utterly astonished.
"Are you the Xu Nian who seized the godhood and several Divine Artifacts and was then offered a sky-high bounty by the Haotian Sect Master?" Lu Xue exclaimed.
"That should be me," Xu Nian chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xue and Liu Ling gasped in shock.
They truly hadnât expected that the young man before them was the renowned Xu Nian of the Immortal Realm.
"Youâre amazing, daring even to kill the son of the Haotian Sect Master," Liu Ling admired.
Xu Nian smiled wryly: "I had no choice; if others want to kill me, I canât just let them succeed."
Hearing this, Lu Xue and Liu Ling still found Xu Nian incredibly impressive.
Itâs easy to say, but few can actually do it.
Xu Nian didnât say much more. Instead, with a wave of his hand, he released Han Xiaoxiao from the Chaos Divine Palace.
As soon as she appeared in the outside world, a look of delight spread across her face.
"Huh, are you Junior Sister Xiaoxiao?" Lu Xue suddenly noticed Han Xiaoxiao in surprise.
"Sister Lu Xue?" Han Xiaoxiao responded with some astonishment.
Xu Nian hadnât expected Han Xiaoxiao to know Lu Xue.
Lu Xue had entered the Tianjian Sect much earlier than Han Xiaoxiao, so Han Xiaoxiao still had to address Lu Xue as Senior Sister.
If Han Xiaoxiaoâs strength surpassed Lu Xueâs, their seniority could change.
For example, Luo Bing is much stronger than Lu Xue.
Lu Xue would have to call her Martial Aunt.
Currently, Han Xiaoxiaoâs cultivation is about the same as Lu Xueâs, both in the Luoxian Realm Early Stage, so their seniority hasnât changed.
"Junior Sister Xiaoxiao, where have you been all these years? Master and I thought you were dead," Lu Xue asked in surprise.
"I was poisoned by Tang Yao, and my soul was damaged, keeping me in a coma. Thankfully, my husband saved me, and Iâve just recovered now," Han Xiaoxiao explained.
"Husband?" Lu Xue and Liu Ling were both taken aback.
They hadnât expected Han Xiaoxiao and Xu Nian to have this kind of relationship.
But on second thought, it made sense.
Junior Sister Xiaoxiao is so beautiful and talented, naturally matching up with Xu Nian.
Next, Han Xiaoxiao chatted with Lu Xue and Liu Ling.
To Xu Nianâs surprise, Han Xiaoxiao and Lu Xue were under the same master.
Both were disciples of that Golden Immortal Xia Qingyu.
Instead, Xu Nian had become an outsider.
But seeing Han Xiaoxiao so happy, Xu Nian was also pleased for her.
The next journey was relatively calm.
Xu Nian, unconcernedly, stood at the bow of the ship, feeling the lands and rivers.
This harmony between man and nature could slowly elevate his Heart Realm.
At the same time, the Power of Faith continuously merged into his soul.
Additionally, the soul energy from that Demon Emperor was gradually absorbed by his soul.
Xu Nianâs soul made another breakthrough.
"Boom!"
A terrifying soul pressure erupted from Xu Nian.
Lu Xue and Liu Ling both felt a trembling in their souls.
They almost knelt to the ground.
Fortunately, Xu Nian restrained it in time, so they werenât hurt by his terrifying soul pressure.
"Such terrifying soul waves! Xu Nian, at what level is your soul?" Lu Xue exclaimed in shock.
"Just broke through to Late-stage Immortal Emperor," Xu Nian smiled.
"La... Late-stage Immortal Emperor?" Lu Xueâs mouth twitched.
Liu Ling looked at Xu Nian with sheer horror.
Too terrifying!
Now, even with Xu Nian standing in front of her, releasing no pressure or showing any power, she felt as if facing an ancient beast.
Xu Nian shook his head helplessly.
Han Xiaoxiao was alright.
Her soul level already rivaled the Immortal Sovereign Peak.
So Xu Nianâs soul oppression wasnât that intense for her.
Soon, the group of four arrived directly at Tianjian City.
Looking at the city tower of Tianjian City, Xu Nian had an indescribable feeling.
When he first stepped here, he was just a Profound Immortal.
Now, in a blink, heâs reached Immortal Sovereign Peak, with strength comparable to an early-stage Immortal Emperor.
Thinking about when Li Tian took him to the Drunken Immortal Building, he felt like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.
"Xu Nian, I plan to return to the Tianjian Sect with Sister Lu Xue and them to visit Master," Han Xiaoxiao said to Xu Nian.
"Alright," Xu Nian nodded.
He knew outsiders couldnât enter the inner region of Tianjian City.
So there was no way for him to enter the Tianjian Sect.
"Wear this, and if thereâs any danger, contact me directly," Xu Nian handed Han Xiaoxiao the Mid-grade Divine Armor heâd obtained earlier.
Heâd already repaired this Mid-grade Divine Armor.
Infused with the Divine Dragonâs Scale Armor, it was now tougher than before.
With this Mid-grade Divine Armor for protection, Xu Nian felt a bit more at ease.
"Thank you, husband," Han Xiaoxiao received the Divine Armor with a smile.
"Mid-grade Divine Artifact?" Lu Xue and Liu Ling were dumbfounded.
Xu Nian actually gave away a Mid-grade Divine Artifact so easily; it was too extravagant.
Though they knew Xu Nian had many Divine Artifacts, you wonât find a second person in the Immortal Realm whoâd casually give away a Mid-grade Divine Artifact.
Next, Han Xiaoxiao followed Lu Xue and Liu Ling into the Transmission Array, advancing to the inner region of the Tianjian Sect.
Now, Xu Nian was left alone.
Xu Nian looked at the Transmission Array in front of him, a cold smile on his face.
He was determined to enter the Tianjian Sectâs inner region.
But not now.
He didnât want to enter alongside Han Xiaoxiao, not out of fear of her misunderstanding, but to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble to Han Xiaoxiao and Lu Xue.
Because if he entered to take Luo Bing, he might clash with the Tianjian Sectâs experts.
Entering with Lu Xue and the others would only involve them.
"First, find Mu Yan and then go to the inner region of Tianjian City to find Luo Bing," Xu Nian thought to himself.
He feared that if he went to Luo Bing first, he might have no chance to find Mu Yan later.
So Xu Nian decided to find Mu Yan first, then head into the Tianjian Sectâs inner region to look for Luo Bing.
Without further ado, Xu Nian directly headed towards the Drunken Immortal Building.
Though Mu Yan had said sheâd leave the Drunken Immortal Building for Cold Smoke City.
Since he didnât know Mu Yanâs exact location in Cold Smoke City, he decided to check for information about Mu Yan at the Drunken Immortal Building first.
Then, heâd head to Cold Smoke City.
When Xu Nian arrived at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Building, all around were immortals of the Profound Immortal and Luoxian levels.
Seeing Xu Nian, who carried not a trace of Immortal Essence fluctuation, they showed expressions of disdain.
A mortal dares to tread here?
Could he possibly go in to find a fairy?
But just as they mocked, Xu Nian strode towards the inside of the Drunken Immortal Building.
"This mortal truly intends to seek out a fairy? Is he mad?"
A group of Heavenly Immortals and Profound Immortals curiously followed him.
They all wanted to see how this mortal would be thrown out.
