Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

Mi Fei fainted in Lin Xuan's arms.

Lin Xuan supported her with one hand, his gaze returning to the stone mountain with the human-shaped crater smashed into it.

Lu Ya was climbing out of the pit.

His condition is extremely dire.

His chest was caved in, and golden blood was flowing all over him.

The infernal flames still burned within his body, and his broken ribs creaked and cracked.

But his eyes were still red.

That red wasn't from anger, but from a madness born from hatred burning away reason.

"Lin Xuan...you killed my brothers...you destroyed everything I had..."

Lu Ya spoke while spitting out blood, his voice hoarse as if he had crawled out of hell.

Even if I die... I'll take you with me!

Lin Xuan frowned.

He realized that Lu Ya was preparing to self-destruct.

This guy is burning his own essence and the Golden Crow's origin, condensing all the power in his body into a single point.

Once detonated, everything within a hundred miles will be destroyed.

Deng Chanyu and her soldiers were within a hundred miles.

"Why didn't you self-destruct when you messed with my wife? Now that you can't beat them, you want to take us both down with you?"

Lin Xuan's voice wasn't loud, but every word clearly reached Lu Ya's ears.

"It's too late."

Lin Xuan handed Mi Fei over to Lei Zhenzi, who had rushed over.

"Catch it, don't drop it."

Lei Zhenzi carefully wrapped Mi Fei with his wings and retreated several dozen feet.

Lin Xuan turned around to face Lu Ya, whose energy was expanding wildly.

He pushed forward with one hand.

The laws of space and the laws of array formations are activated simultaneously.

Dense gray lines appeared in the void.

These patterns rapidly expanded, wove, and overlapped, centered on Lin Xuan's palm.

In the blink of an eye, a complete formation took shape around Lu Ya.

Chaos Array.

This is an array that Lin Xuan set up on the spot by combining the power of spatial laws, array laws, and the Chaos Pearl.

Once the formation was complete, the space within a hundred feet around Lu Ya was completely sealed off.

This is not an ordinary lockdown.

It means that this space was "stripped" out of the primordial main world.

It was as if Lu Ya was encased in a transparent glass dome.

Everything inside the enclosure has no connection to the outside world.

Even if Lu Ya self-destructs, the energy will only be released inside the shield.

Not a single hair can be leaked.

Lu Ya found himself trapped.

He rushed out frantically.

The fist slammed into the invisible array barrier, producing a dull thud.

But it didn't budge.

His strength in this small space was like that of a fish thrashing about in a fish tank.

"Let me out! Lin Xuan! If you have the guts, fight me head-on! Don't resort to such despicable tactics!"

Lu Ya roared hoarsely.

Lin Xuan walked to the edge of the formation and looked down at the disheveled bald man inside.

"You attacked my pregnant wife, and you're calling me despicable?"

Lu Ya was taken aback.

A pregnant wife?

The female general he ambushed... was pregnant?

An indescribable emotion welled up from the bottom of Lu Ya's heart.

He paused for two seconds.

Then his eyes changed.

It wasn't anger, it wasn't madness.

It's a very complex thing.

"I just want you to experience... what it's like to lose a family member..."

Lu Ya's voice suddenly became very soft.

Lin Xuan remained silent.

He looked at Lu Ya and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he said, "I don't regret what happened to your nine brothers. How many innocent people did they burn to death when they ravaged the human land? Did they ever think that those who were burned to death were also someone else's family?"

Lu Ya opened his mouth, but did not refute.

"But—" Lin Xuan's tone softened a little.

"That was caused by your father and Zhunti. It's not entirely your fault."

"That's enough for today. You stay put in my camp. I'll decide what to do with you after I've finished dealing with other matters."

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he added a layer of seal to the formation.

The self-destruct energy that was expanding within Lu Ya's body rapidly shrank under the suppression of the seal.

He can't die even if he wants to.

The chaotic array suppressed his power so much that he struggled even to circulate his magic, let alone self-destruct.

Lu Ya collapsed at the bottom of the formation, completely exhausted.

He stared blankly at the isolated sky above him.

Lin Xuan turned and walked towards Lei Zhenzi.

"I'm going back."

Lei Zhenzi quickly carried Mi Fei on his back and followed.

Lin Shuang and Lin Yan, the two little ones, were chattering away on Lei Zhenzi's back.

Lin Shuang blew a bubble, and Lin Yan reached out and popped it. Then the two little ones laughed.

Lin Xuan glanced at them, a slight smile playing on his lips.

These two little guys are working together quite well.

We can use them as a regular partner from now on.

Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully suppressing Lu Ya Dao Ren."

"Lu Ya Daoist has been sealed into the Chaos Array. The system is automatically extracting and purifying the remaining Golden Crow essence within his body."

"Item obtained: Great Sun Golden Crow Essence (purified) x1".

"This essence can be used to strengthen fire-elemental laws, refine solar system magical artifacts, or directly integrate into the host's body to increase the upper limit of fire-elemental power."

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.

The origin of the Great Sun Golden Crow?

This is good stuff.

The Golden Crow is the embodiment of the sun, and its origin contains the purest solar power.

The fire elemental laws in his hands have evolved to the level of Chaotic Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, but he has not yet explored the power of the sun.

With this source, his fire domain is now more complete.

"Not bad." Lin Xuan gave himself a mental thumbs up.

Today's trip was very rewarding.

He saved his wife, subdued Lu Ya, picked up a goddess named Luo Shen, and even got a Golden Crow's essence for free.

The only regret is that the floods caused by the land pressure are still surging towards the border of the Shang Dynasty.

But there's no rush. We can go back and let Gonggong handle it.

He is the ancestral shaman of the water system, and controlling floods is as simple as drinking water.

Lin Xuan, carrying the unconscious Mi Fei, along with Lei Zhenzi and the two little ones, transformed into a streak of light and flew back to Chaoge.

Behind them, on the Luo River, the stone mountain sealed within the Chaos Array stood alone in the middle of the torrent.

Lu Ya, inside the formation, raised his head and looked at the departing streak of light, lost in thought.

A tear slid down the corner of his eye.

I don't know if it's blood or something else.
