Upon seeing Luo Xiu's sudden reaction, the two women were full of confusion.
It seemed that Luo Xiu was quite anxious.
Could there be someone very important to him in the Li Family?
Luo Qingxian asked, "Does the Li Family have any connection to you?"
Luo Xiu took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and said, "I don't want to hide it from you... that Lin Wansuo is actually Lin Xiyue."
Luo Qingyu inquired puzzled, "Who is Lin Xiyue?"
Luo Xiu glanced at her and said, "She was my wife when I was in the Kunlun Ancient Realm... or rather, my ex-wife."
Upon hearing this, the two women were taken aback.
After a moment.
Having listened to the story about Lin Xiyue, Luo Qingxian tightly held Luo Xiu's hand, gazing at him and saying, "Then you must be careful and also save her."
Luo Xiu patted the back of her hand before withdrawing his hand and turning away.
"Xian'er, it seems we can only meet at the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven."
"Alright."
They watched as the tricolored lightning disappeared into the night sky, both women were full of worry.
...
Luo Xiu disregarded the pain of his injuries, pushing his speed to the utmost limit.
In just a moment, he had crossed a great distance and appeared above the Heavenly Azure Imperial Capital.
The released Divine Sense was like an ocean, boundless and vast, instantly covering the entire Heavenly Azure Imperial Capital.
"Xiyue, where are you?"
"Please don't be in any danger..."
Luo Xiu's heart grew more anxious, and suddenly his expression changed, hurriedly retracting his Divine Sense from its wide spread, locking onto a perilous ridge outside the capital.
"I found it!"
"Xiyue, wait for me!"
...
Outside the Heavenly Azure Imperial Capital.
Huangyue Ridge.
In the night.
The blood-covered Jiang Hongyu descended from the sky, blocking Lin Xiyue's path.
"Fairy Xiyue, do you intend to enter the Heavenly Azure Prison through the secret passage in Huangyue Ridge to rescue someone?"
Lin Xiyue gripped her long sword tightly, staring at Jiang Hongyu without saying a word.
Jiang Hongyu continued, "It's useless, with your strength as a Profound Emperor, even a few jailers can capture you, so your attempt is merely a death wish, not to mention the rescue."
"Why?"
Lin Xiyue suddenly asked.
Jiang Hongyu's eyes were filled with guilt as he slowly said, "Because I need to use my way to rescue the Stunning Phoenix Immortal. Also, compared to you, she is more important."
Lin Xiyue looked disdainful, "You usually help me manage the merchant guild, you seem quite smart, but how could you lose your mind when it comes to matters involving women?"
"I may not know what deal you struck with those from Heaven Azure Empire, but do you really think they will fulfill your wishes?"
"Of course not," Jiang Hongyu replied, "But given the situation now, I have no other choice; I can only do my best to maneuver."
His gaze suddenly turned cold, staring at Lin Xiyue fiercely, gritting his teeth, "After all, if it weren't for you, the Stunning Phoenix Immortal wouldn't have left Stunning Phoenix Swan State to come to this dangerous place, let alone be imprisoned!"
"So you must take responsibility for this!"
"Fairy Xiyue, it's almost dawn, you have to come back with me. I don't want to hurt you; in the end, I am still a Red Emperor, and what can a Profound Emperor stir up?"
"Tsk."
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a slight strange sound was emitted from his body.
Suddenly his body trembled, becoming rigid as though petrified, standing still.
A segment of the sword gleaming with cold light protruded straight from his chest.
"Whyā¦?"
Jiang Hongyu struggled to twist his neck, casting a sidelong glance at Lin Xiyue who had somehow appeared behind him, feeling incredulous.
At the same moment, the Lin Xiyue in front of him dissolved into wisps of cold air and vanished.
That was a clone.
Just like the clone he had previously captured and handed over to Liu Shang.
Lin Xiyue slowly withdrew the sword and said indifferently, "I've been busy with business and neglecting cultivation, perhaps leading you to misunderstand my strengthā¦ Who told you that a Profound Emperor couldn't stir up waves before a Red Emperor?"
As the sword was withdrawn, Jiang Hongyu's body trembled, his face full of pain, staggering forward a few steps, powerless as he knelt on the ground.
"As expected of Fairy Xiyue."
"Fairy Xiyue, if possible, I hopeā¦ you can rescue the Stunning Phoenix Immortal."
Lin Xiyue: "That was always my plan from the start."
Jiang Hongyu: "I also hope you don't tell herā¦ about these mattersā¦"
Lin Xiyue was expressionless, "I will."
The night wind lifted her long hair, blowing away the frost visible on her face.
"Young Master Jiang, farewell."
"Thank you."
Jiang Hongyu smiled faintly, powerless as he collapsed onto the ground.
At the same instant his forehead touched the ground, his entire body exploded into fragments, both form and spirit annihilated.
Watching those icy shards scattered across the ground, Lin Xiyue sighed softly, turning around to head toward another section of Huangyue Ridge.
Just as Jiang Hongyu had guessed previously, she indeed intended to infiltrate the Heavenly Azure Prison through Huangyue Ridge to save someone.
"Husband, if it were you...what would you do?"
She mumbled softly, and the image of that man involuntarily appeared in her mind.
She knew this journey meant one in a million chances of survival!
But she had to go!
"Boom!"
Just as her thoughts fluctuated, a figure descended from the sky, landing before her.
The entire earth seemed to tremble along with it!
Lin Xiyue's beautiful eyes quivered, and she immediately jumped back, then focused her gaze, her expression turning more serious.
"It's you."
In the swirling dust, a burly figure stood tall like a mountain!
It was Liu Shang!
Liu Shang looked at Lin Xiyue with a smile that was not quite a smile, suddenly revealing a mouth full of glowing red teeth in the night.
The terrifying and disgusting appearance made Lin Xiyue furrow her brows tightly.
The reason Liu Shang came naturally was because he couldn't trust and didn't believe Jiang Hongyu.
So he had been secretly following Jiang Hongyu all along.
"As expected of Fairy Wan Ruo, a blend of wisdom, beauty, and strength. Such a you, ever more captivating."
Without a word, Lin Xiyue's figure suddenly flashed, transforming into a shadow and darting towards Liu Shang.
"Nine Yin Sword Art!"
As soon as she struck, it was a killing move!
In an instant, extreme cold spread in all directions!
The ground within hundreds of meters instantly iced over, flowers, grass, and trees turned to ice shards in an instant, and even space seemed frozen!
Liu Shang smiled slightly, casually raised his hand, and with two fingers steadily pinched the sword tip targeting his neck.
However.
The next second, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Because his fingers were freezing, losing sensation.
His heart trembled, he hurriedly released the two fingers pinching the sword, and then suddenly threw a palm, sending Lin Xiyue flying, as if afraid she might be too close to him.
"Unexpectedly, it's the legendary Nine Yin Power... Could it be you possess the Nine Yin Constitution?"
On the other side.
Lin Xiyue landed with a crash, spitting blood.
An attack from the White Emperor was certainly not easy to take.
She endured the pain, flipped over to climb up, stared at Liu Shang, and drove her Nine Yin Technique to its utmost capacity.
Under the vast moonlight, she was continuously provided with strength!
Liu Shang secretly channeled qi to dispel the cold on his hand, his expression gradually turning more serious.
Looking at Lin Xiyue before him, he couldn't help but recall that man who once amazed the Three Thousand Worlds.
"Nine Yin Constitution, hehe... Didn't expect to encounter the legendary Nine Yin Constitution."
"It's a shame, the Azure Emperor with the Nine Yang Constitution is no longer in this world, otherwise, he would definitely like you a lot."
"But to speak, a woman like you, aside from the Azure Emperor with the Nine Yang Constitution, ordinary men really can't handle you."
"Since that's the case, I can only cripple your cultivation and then destroy your constitution!"
With this thought, Liu Shang's figure suddenly flashed, appearing in front of Lin Xiyue as if teleporting.
Before Lin Xiyue could react, her abdomen was struck heavily.
With a thunderous boom.
Only to see the ground beneath Liu Shang's feet crack and collapse, a clean powerful kick sending Lin Xiyue flying into the sky!
On the ground.
Liu Shang slowly raised his hand, a spike as long as an arm appeared out of thin air, which he hurled fiercely toward Lin Xiyue in the night sky.
This was his Magical Treasureāthe Thousand Refinement Divine Needle.
Once the target is pierced, her cultivation would be utterly ruined!
Flying backwards, Lin Xiyue watched the Thousand Refinement Divine Needle flying toward her, helplessly and calmly closed her eyes and placed the long sword in her hand horizontally against her neck.
She knew well what she would face if her cultivation was destroyed and her Nine Yin Constitution extinguished and fell into the hands of these people.
Instead of suffering this fate, it was better to end it.
"Sorry, sister."
"Husband... I'm coming to find you... All these years, you must have been very lonely, right?"
Applying force to her arm, the sharp blade slowly sunk into the white skin of her neck.
But the next moment, a colorful thunder appeared out of nowhere, striking away the sword in her hand.
Simultaneously, her flying body crashed into a broad warm embrace.
That warm embrace instantly neutralized the terrifying impact.
...
Luo Xiu held Lin Xiyue with one hand, slowly spinning as he brought her to the ground.
He was majestic and awe-inspiring, she was clad in flowing white.
Under the moonlight, it was a stunning scene.
Lin Xiyue gently looked up, at that handsome face, wondering: "Is it you?"
Luo Xiu lowered his head to look at the bloodline on her neck, a pang in his heart, and also full of fear.
"Glad I arrived in time. Miss Lin, are you alright?"
"..."
