Outside the Great Jiang Imperial City.
Murong Ying glanced curiously at Nan Gong Liu Yun who was floating in the air like her.
“You’re… Miss Lady of the Nangong Mansion…”
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something.
“No wait, you’re the legendary Young Master Nan Gong? I heard about you in the Divine Martial Dynasty.”
“Oh? That’s quite an honor then. But Lady Murong War God, you seem much stronger than before. Returning to Great Jiang Imperial City, are you here for my grand wedding?”
“No, I’m here to steal the groom.”
“Huh? So direct, huh? Knowing my identity and yet daring to say that right to my face. Seems like you have immense confidence in your own strength.”
Just then, Murong Ying’s whole aura and appearance instantly changed.
She slowly spoke,
“Little girl, are you my master’s betrothed? You certainly have a good cultivation talent. Judging from Xiao Ying’s current combat power, it looks like you’d be too tough for her. It’s better for me to end this quickly.”
“Huh? Another Martial Emperor’s wisp? Are you also my master’s previous disciple?”
“Another one? Who did you meet before?”
“I ran into someone not too long ago. They were also a Martial Emperor’s wisp. Later, Master mentioned he had a disciple who came back to settle old scores with him.”
“Oh? Looks like you met my Second Junior Sister. I didn’t think she was still alive. Talk about big bucks, sending even a Martial Saint to watch over my weak master. Quite the overkill. Nice attempt to hide the demonic aura, but couldn’t fool this Emperor. Oh, and there’s another demonic kid too.”
Nan Gong Liu Yun: “??????”
Coming back to her senses, Nan Gong Liu Yun’s eyes held a hint of confusion. She knew this Martial Emperor wisp wasn’t lying.
Jiang Xuan just happened to be hiding away by Xia Xiao Yu.
But the Martial Saint, Nan Gong Liu Yun thought of only her Senior Sister. Yet, something didn’t seem right. If the Martial Saint was her Senior Sister, why didn’t she tell her that the person was found?
After a moment’s thought, Nan Gong decided finding Jiang Xuan should take precedence. With slight respect, she said,
“Sr., since you can sense Master’s whereabouts, shall we check it out first?”
“Sure, fine, if you don’t want to fight, let’s go. As for why I’m here? I just wanted to see my master.”
…
Meanwhile, inside Xia Family courtyard.
Xia Xiao Yu was again bound and tossed into a corner of the room, looking tamed now. The most perplexing thing was, the Demon God’s power had mysteriously vanished. If the powers remained, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Under Jiang Xuan’s threat, even proud Luo Sheng had calmed down, holding out tea for Jiang Xuan now.
“Master, the spirit tea is ready. Please taste…”
Seeing the tea, Jiang Xuan recalled the sleeping potion he once had at Nangong Mansion. He decided prudently, no need for more surprises.
“Is there something wrong with the tea I made, Master?”
“Not at all, you misunderstand. It’s just I prefer not to drink any tea.”
As Jiang Xuan spoke, Luo Sheng put the tea down, her hands around his neck.
“Then, Master can do…”
Suddenly her expression changed.
“cr*p, someone’s coming…”
Simultaneously, Jiang’s brain lit up with a system voice:
“Beep! Detection…”
However, Jiang was too busy watching the door break open and Nan Gong Liu Yun and ‘Murong Ying’ appear.
Luo Sheng immediately pulled away from Jiang Xuan.
“She-Youngest Junior Sister. Didn’t expect you’d find us. I was just going to inform you—caught that demonic girl, checking if your husband was hurt. Sorry to interrupt.”
Nan Gong Liu Yun: “…”
Looking at Luo Sheng, Nan Gong Liu Yun frowned.
“Senior Sister, you seem to be… no longer on the Unfeeling Dao…”
“Yeah… After I broke through to a Martial Saint, things changed…”
On the other hand, ‘Murong Ying’ looked at Jiang Xuan.
“My beloved master, we finally meet again…”
“Xiyao, you…”
Jiang couldn’t finish when Xiyao interrupted.
“It appears you’ve been entangled in many affairs. Though, it’s an improvement from the Unfeeling Dao. Should I take you away?”
Nan Gong shook her head,
“Planning to take Master in front of me? You may succeed in your prime, but only as a wisp now—impossible, not with Senior Sister here.”
“Really. Let’s see then. I’ll take him.”
As Xiyao finished, the imperial pressure blanketed the area. A top-tier spatial domain covered everyone.
Being engulfed, people were teleported randomly. Xia Xiao Yu found herself back in some forbidden land.
Luo Sheng woke up, finding herself in an unfamiliar mountain range. Unprepared for the sudden domain, she was caught unaware.
Nan Gong, wary of Xiyao, used her sword domain to resist. When the domain dissipated, her sword domain shattered, but she remained in the room.
Plunged into chaos, only three remained in the room: Jiang Xuan, Xiyao, and Nan Gong Liu Yun.
Xiyao looked at Nan Gong who hadn’t been swept away, surprised,
“Amazing, a mere martial sect master, could endure the transport! If you ever become a martial master, I’d be truly helpless.”
Nan Gong calmly pulled out a new sword,
“One Martial Emperor wisp, doesn’t require mastery. Just a bit of fun.”
Their powerful auras clashed, Jiang Xuan in the middle, inwardly panicking,
“What the hell, how am I left untouched?! Too much!”
