Chapter 586 - 416: Empress Qingqiu Sets Up a Killing Array, Unflinching in the Face of Danger

The once utterly weak Xiaobai instantly regained some of her vitality.

Xiaobai’s trembling eyes slowly opened.

But the first thing she saw was Lin Chang’sheng right in front of her, their faces almost touching, a trace of lingering warmth at the corner of his lips—her eyes suddenly flustered.

"What... what did you do to me?"

Xiaobai cried out, immediately pulling away.

"What could I have done? Obviously, I saved you!"

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t care in the slightest, though he thought to himself: You’re just a fox, not even humanoid—acting like it’s the real deal.

Like I’d actually get dirty thoughts about a fox?

"What sort of elixir did you make me take? The effects are so damned strong!"

Xiaobai checked her body, instantly realizing her depleted primordial power had already recovered by thirty percent.

The sheer force of this pill was evident.

"Just finished refining a Holy Pill—not bad, eh?"

Seeing Xiaobai’s spirit restored, Lin Chang’sheng finally relaxed a bit.

This Holy Pill really is something else.

"You can actually refine Holy Pills?"

Xiaobai was obviously shocked by Lin Chang’sheng’s comment.

Holy Pills aren’t something just anyone can make. Who would’ve imagined Lin Chang’sheng could actually refine them?

"What, you think someone else gifted it to me? Get some rest. I gotta get ready—the pursuers are almost here! It’s time for them to meet their end."

Lin Chang’sheng replied, then stepped out of the Spirit Beast Bag.

"Boss, shouldn’t we get the hell out of here?"

Hou Shaojie saw Lin Chang’sheng standing there, spacing out, and immediately urged him.

If they didn’t run now, the enemy would catch up for sure.

Five thousand miles wasn’t far for Mahayana Stage cultivators—one hour and they’d be here.

"You guys go first! I still have things to take care of!"

Lin Chang’sheng’s voice was resolute, determination flashing in his eyes.

He intended to kill those coming after him right here.

From the auras chasing him, he didn’t sense Wu Hao, that Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse.

So, all his pursuers were Mahayana cultivators.

That meant he actually had a shot at turning the tables.

If it came down to pure power, Lin Chang’sheng honestly wouldn’t stand a chance.

But he could set up an array capable of slaying Mahayana masters.

"Boss, don’t be reckless! Live to fight another day—we can go back to the Immortal Palace together!"

Hou Shaojie tried to persuade him.

With Lin Chang’sheng’s talent, his future was limitless. Why take risks right now?

"Brother Chang’sheng, don’t do anything rash. Let’s just leave!"

Zhao Shuang’Er also tried to dissuade him.

Yet Lin Chang’sheng ignored them and began setting up the Qiankun Godslaying Celestial Array.

With this array, Lin Chang’sheng had slain a Mahayana powerhouse in Scorpion Valley’s Secret Realm—its might was overwhelming. Taking out those chasing him would be no problem.

"Relax, I won’t do anything unsure. You guys go—if you stay here, you’ll only distract me!"

Lin Chang’sheng assured them.

Hou Shaojie and Zhao Shuang’Er had no choice but to leave first.

Because Lin Chang’sheng was right—the enemies were Mahayana powerhouses. To them, Hou Shaojie and Zhao Shuang’Er were basically ants.

Staying would only be a burden, not a help.

In half an hour, Lin Chang’sheng finished setting up the Qiankun Godslaying Celestial Array, then waited for the Black and White Double Assassins to arrive.

He knew, with the Blood Evil Seal on him, even runaway to the Ends of the Earth couldn’t save him from being tracked down.

If that’s how it is, then he’d finish them right here.

...

Meanwhile, in a vast mountain range tens of millions of miles away from Celestial Emperor City—

Demon Beasts roamed wild, Spirit Beasts meditated everywhere.

The Fox Race.

Inside a mountain palace, a blue-clad woman suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Her features were alluring and enchanting, curves in all the right places, not a trace of excess where it should be slim—her body was the definition of perfection.

Behind her swayed eight fluffy tails, mesmerizing and seductive.

"She... she’s actually made it to the Immortal Realm?"

A look of shock filled the woman’s blue-green eyes.

Years ago, when she chased her prey into the Abandoned Land, she’d assumed the girl would never make it back to the Immortal Realm. Yet in just a few short years, she’d returned.

Even if she didn’t know what had happened to her quarry, now that she was back—there was no way she’d let her return alive.

"Heaven and earth are wide, and you chose the path to death—don’t blame me then!"

Ice flashed in the woman’s eyes.

She flicked her delicate finger, sending a beam of light from the Great Hall, striking a Fox Race man who was cultivating outside.

Upon absorbing the light, it was as if he received his orders—he turned into a streak of light and vanished into the sky.

The woman had dispatched him to eliminate the threat, root and branch.

Only a few years had passed; she didn’t believe her opponent could have grown that much stronger.

A Tribulation Crossing Stage Elder—more than enough to end her.

...

Five thousand miles meant hardly more than an hour for Mahayana Stage masters.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Soon, a group of figures landed in front of Lin Chang’sheng.

Apart from the Black and White Double Assassins, there were three top experts from the Imperial City. One unfamiliar face—a Mahayana Stage powerhouse, too.

"Kid, why aren’t you running anymore?"

Hei Yu asked coldly.

Lin Chang’sheng had injured them earlier, and Hei Yu was clearly pissed—his pride battered.

If word got out, the Black and White Double Assassins’ reputation would be ruined.

Two mighty powerhouses—unable to kill a single Integration Stage cultivator, and even wounded? An utter disgrace.

"Waiting for you all to come and die, of course!"

Lin Chang’sheng retorted coldly.

Hearing this, the Mahayana stage experts just laughed mockingly.

Did this kid really think he could take on several Mahayana masters by himself? Was he nuts?

"Brat, hand over your Divine Thunder Bow and Holy Pill, and the three of us will spare your life. Sound fair?"

Huang Peng made his demands clear.

His entire purpose for coming here was that Divine Thunder Bow and the Holy Pill.

With those treasures in hand, they wouldn’t have to dirty their hands further.

Even if the Immortal Palace tried to blame them, it wouldn’t be their problem.

"You want the Holy Pill?"

Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand, producing a Divine Healing Pill.

The elixir instantly filled the air with a rich, powerful fragrance—the spiritual energy in the area thickened on the spot.

Even breathing became invigorating, every cell of the body twitching wildly. Just from this, the pill’s potency was clear.

"Exactly! Hand it over!"

Huang Peng’s eyes went greedy at the sight of the Holy Pill.

But in the next second, Lin Chang’sheng simply swallowed the pill before their eyes.

Huang Peng and the Black and White Double Assassins were both dumbstruck—Lin Chang’sheng actually dared to eat the pill himself? This kid must have a death wish.

The pill melted the moment it entered his stomach, surging power flooding Lin Chang’sheng’s body—his primordial power and divine sense both soared dramatically.

Even his flesh and bones were strengthened, snapping and crackling all over.

Within a few breaths, Lin Chang’sheng had already absorbed most of the pill’s effects.

Thanks to the Void Saint King Technique, his refinement was lightning quick.

The pill not only boosted his primordial power and healed injuries, but had zero side effects.

Just one—yet Lin Chang’sheng already sensed he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

"Incredible stuff!"

Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t help but marvel.

Downing another might get him straight to the Middle Stage of Integration.

"You little bastard, you killed my grandson. Today is the day you die!"

Huo Zhi glared at Lin Chang’sheng, who acted calm and casual like he didn’t care about facing so many enemies. Rage blazed in his eyes.

He’d hoped to watch Lin Chang’sheng beg for mercy before dying, but never thought this brat would remain unfazed against all these powerhouses.

"Your grandson? And who might that be?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked in surprise.

"The other day, you killed a disciple from the Celestial Orchid Sect. Remember?"

Huo Zhi said coldly.

That finally jogged Lin Chang’sheng’s memory.

"From the Celestial Orchid Sect, huh? And you got here quick! Fine, I’ll send you to the next world, together!"

Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t expected the Celestial Orchid Sect to arrive so fast.

Since they’d come—he’d finish them all, too.

"Arrogant!"

Huo Zhi roared, attacking instantly.

With a wave, a blade appeared in his hand.

His primordial power gathered—a Sword Aura ripped through the air, slashing straight at Lin Chang’sheng.
