Lu Chen had seen many stunning fairies; none of his wives and concubines were unattractive, and even his former maid, despite not meeting the systemâs conditions, possessed a face that could captivate a nation.
Logically, it would be rare for a woman to astonish him at first glance, but when Lu Chen saw Xu Jingshu from Zou Jingtongâs divine soul, he had an instant desire to engage in dual cultivation with her.
Lu Chen believed that a woman who could evoke such thoughts in him likely met the systemâs conditions.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen did not hesitate and went directly to the Purple Illusion Sect.
Meanwhile, inside a pavilion of the Purple Illusion Sect.
Zhou Yanjun was still waiting for Zou Jingtong and the others to report back, and at this moment, an elder responsible for guarding the soul lamps came rushing to the pavilionâs exterior, "Sect Master, something terrible has happened!"
Seeing it was the elder guarding the soul lamps, Zhou Yanjunâs face turned black instantly; if the elder said something terrible had happened, it meant the soul lamps of important figures in the sect had extinguished.
Zhou Yanjun asked coldly, "Whose soul lamp extinguished?"
The elder hurriedly responded, "Elder Zhou, Elder Tan, Elder Liu, Elder Qin, Elder Bai, all five eldersâ soul lamps... extinguished..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanjun suddenly released a strong aura, instantly demolishing the entire pavilion. Realizing his loss of self-control, Zhou Yanjun quickly apologized to Xu Jingshu, saying, "Forgive me, emissary, I didnât control my emotions."
Xu Jingshu did not mind; for her, even if the pavilion collapsed, with the protection of immortal aura, it wouldnât harm herâsuch was not a major issue.
Xu Jingshu said expressionlessly, "Itâs not important; the priority is to figure out what happened. To simultaneously kill three True Immortals and two Heavenly Immortals, the opposing power likely reached the Golden Immortal Realm."
"Which means, what the Purple Illusion Sect did has probably already been discovered by the Mysterious Moon Palace."
A Golden Immortal wouldnât randomly go to Snow Peak City, a mortal city; itâs likely sent by the Mysterious Moon Palace, and they wouldnât arbitrarily send a Golden Immortal there.
The biggest possibility is that the Mysterious Moon Palace has already discovered the situation in Snow Peak City, thus specially dispatching a Golden Immortal to handle matters regarding Snow Peak City and the Purple Illusion Sect.
Upon hearing Xu Jingshuâs words, Zhou Yanjun panicked; he himself was only a True Immortal, unlikely to match a Golden Immortal. If a Golden Immortal indeed came, his death might be near.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yanjun hurriedly asked Xu Jingshu, "Emissary, regarding your previous promise, to ensure our protection to the Blood Eagle Hall if things go wrongâdoes that still hold?"
Xu Jingshu said coldly, "Of course it holds."
"I can help you construct a transmission array to directly transport all of you to the Blood Eagle Hall."
Hearing Xu Jingshuâs words, Zhou Yanjun breathed a sigh of relief; direct teleportation to the Blood Eagle Hall would make them unafraid of the Mysterious Moon Palaceâs powers.
Their Purple Illusion Sectâs formation should withstand the strong powers of the Mysterious Moon Palace for some time, enough for Xu Jingshu to build the transmission array.
Zhou Yanjun said, "Then please help us build the transmission array, Emissary. Whatever amount of Immortal Crystals you require, our Purple Illusion Sect will provide."
Compared to the Immortal Sects, the Purple Illusion Sect was a small sect, lacking many Immortal Crystals; constructing transmission arrays, especially long-distance ones, required a lot of Immortal Crystals.
Though Zhou Yanjun felt pained at the time, he understood they were in a position of seeking assistance and couldnât expect Xu Jingshu to contribute Immortal Crystals.
Xu Jingshu said, "Alright."
As Xu Jingshu finished speaking, Zhou Yanjun prepared to have people gather Immortal Crystals and the materials needed to set up a transmission array. But at that moment, a male voice came from outside the Purple Illusion Sectâs Mist Concealment Formation.
"Where is the emissary from the Blood Eagle Hall, come out and meet."
The other party immediately demanding to meet the Blood Eagle Hallâs emissary made Xu Jingshu furrow her brows; she could sense the terrifying aura outside; that person certainly wielded powers above an Immortal Monarch.
Being presently a True Immortal, she was far from matching that personâs power, hence realizing she had to abandon the Purple Illusion Sect.
Thinking of this, Xu Jingshu prepared to use the Sky-breaking Talisman to escape, knowing full well that the current space was definitely locked, making direct space breaking escape almost impossible.
However, being the Saintess of the Blood Eagle Hall, with many life-saving treasures, the opponent would find killing her rather difficult.
Sensing the terrifying aura outside the Mist Concealment Formation, Zhou Yanjun was completely intimidated; the oppression released by the person outside definitely surpassed that which an average Golden Immortal could emit.
Could it be an Immortal Monarch?
Finished, finished, their Purple Illusion Sectâs Great Array couldnât withstand an attack from an Immortal Monarch.
Zhou Yanjunâs gaze immediately turned towards Xu Jingshu, placing his hopes on the Blood Eagle Hallâs emissary. But during this moment, Zhou Yanjun noticed Xu Jingshu holding a talisman paper in her hand, emanating spatial power.
Is this... a Sky-breaking Talisman?
Zhou Yanjun felt a jolt in his heartâoh no, this emissary intends to abandon them and escape!
Just as Zhou Yanjun thought this, Xu Jingshu directly used the Sky-breaking Talisman, and in an instant, her body vanished from the spot.
This left Zhou Yanjun completely dumbfoundedâthe Blood Eagle Hallâs emissary actually abandoned them and escaped; he sank to the ground, eyes vacant.
At the same time.
Outside the Purple Illusion Sectâs Mist Concealment Formation.
Lu Chen saw that no one from the Purple Illusion Sect was coming out, so he prepared to use force to destroy the Purple Illusion Sectâs Sect Protection Array, initially hoping to make a positive impression on the woman upon their first meeting.
Previously, encountering women meeting the systemâs conditions, heâd approach directly, feeling slightly brutish, like a beast.
However, now considering she belonged to the Blood Eagle Hall as an Evil Immortal, even if he wished to impress, she probably wouldnât appreciate it.
Just when Lu Chen prepared to break the array, he sensed a subtle fluctuation in spaceâbeing master of the Power of Ten Thousand Paths, any space fluctuation was apparent to him through his space power.
Is she trying to escape?
Lu Chenâs lips slightly curled, promptly using space power to pull her out from the space passage.
Upon seeing light before her, Xu Jingshu thought she had left the Purple Illusion Sect, but as she emerged from the space passage, she found, not far from her, a man staring directly at her.
The manâs eyes were filled with raw possessiveness.
Lu Chen, viewing the system panel before him, felt delighted as he had expected; this woman indeed met the systemâs conditions.
