On the Dragon-Slaying Platform, I was executed and became Yang Jian's brother-in-law.

At the edge of the Chaos Sea, the turbulent currents of spacetime churned wildly like boiling water.

Before the torn rift, the Queen Mother of the West's phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent, and her overwhelming aura of a quasi-saint peak was released without reservation. The peach tree branch in her hand, originally withered and inconspicuous, now seemed to be infused with endless vitality, radiating a dazzling emerald light.

"Open it!"

With a sharp shout, the Queen Mother of the West raised her hand and the branch transformed into a streak of light, plunging fiercely into the unstable spatial node.

"Boom!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected, only a sickening squeezing sound. The branch grew rapidly in the wind, transforming in the blink of an eye into the phantom of a towering tree. Countless roots, like the claws of a dragon, gripped the surrounding raging spatial fragments, and the thick trunk forcefully pushed open the closing crack, creating a stable passage large enough for several people to walk side by side.

This is the power of one of the ten innate spiritual roots: suppressing space and fixing earth, water, fire, and wind!

"Jin Ling, make your move!"

Without needing the Queen Mother of the West to say anything, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit was already poised to act.

She rode on a seven-fragrant chariot, the Four Symbols Pagoda spinning behind her, and the flying golden sword in her hand emitted a clear, bloodthirsty cry. In her beautiful eyes burned a raging fire of deception and mockery.

"Boundary-Breaking Sword Formation, Slash!"

As the Golden Spirit Mother Sword Technique was unleashed, countless Gengjin sword energies converged into a single line, possessing an extreme sharpness that seemed capable of severing even the laws of heaven with a single strike.

"Snap!"

The world barrier, which was originally somewhat connected and protected by the power of the Lotus Lantern, became as brittle as a sheet of paper under this sword strike.

A jet-black crack instantly pierced through the barrier, revealing a striking peach blossom color inside.

That's the sky of the Peach Blossom Paradise!

"Enter!"

The Queen Mother of the West took the lead, her figure transforming into a streak of light as she rushed directly into the passage.

Following closely behind were the Golden Spirit Mother, the Three Immortal Maidens, the Wudang Mother, and even Princess Iron Fan, whose cultivation was slightly weaker. They all had resolute expressions on their faces, took out their magic weapons, and filed in one after another.

At this moment, nothing could stop these vengeful female immortals.

……

Inside the Peach Blossom Paradise.

The place still maintains that illusion of tranquility. Peach blossoms are in full bloom, streams murmur, and a gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers.

At the stone table in front of the bamboo house, Su Bai and Yang Chan were drinking together as usual.

It was supposed to be a drinking session, but it was actually Yang Chan unilaterally urging him to drink. Su Bai was still bound by those specially made chains. Although he could move his hands and feet, most of his magical power was still sealed.

"My husband, this cup of wine is to toast the three months we've spent together day and night."

Yang Chan, her face flushed and her eyes dreamy, held the wine glass to Su Bai's lips. "If you drink this, I'll untie one of your hands and let you touch me, okay?"

Looking at the woman before him, who was so deeply immersed in the beautiful dream he had woven, Su Bai felt a mix of emotions.

He was about to say something perfunctory, or perhaps try his "delaying tactic" again.

Just then—

"boom!!!"

The entire small world began to tremble violently without warning.

The once gentle and smooth sky suddenly cracked open with a hideous gash. It was as if a perfect painting had been brutally torn apart from the middle.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely violent chaotic gale, mixed with the heart-palpitating Geng metal sword energy, poured wildly back into the crack.

The countless peach blossoms withered instantly under this terrifying power, turning into dust. The gently flowing stream was also directly interrupted, the water bursting and splashing, wetting Yang Chan's skirt.

"Buzz—"

The Lotus Lantern, which was suspended behind Yang Chan, let out a mournful cry, and its light flickered, clearly indicating that it had suffered a severe injury.

"This...this is..."

The wine glass in Yang Chan's hand fell to the ground with a "crack" and shattered into pieces.

She stood up abruptly, her face turning deathly pale. Her previously dazed eyes were now filled with terror and disbelief.

"How is this possible... how could they have found this place?!"

This is the depths of chaos! A crevice in the turbulent flow of spacetime!

She clearly had the Lotus Lantern to conceal the secrets of heaven, and she clearly had a sage...

"No! We can't let them in! We can't let them steal my husband away!"

Intense fear instantly transformed into extreme madness. Yang Chan's first reaction wasn't to fight back, nor to run away, but rather—to take Su Bai away!

As long as people are there, anywhere can be a paradise!

"My husband! Let's go!"

Yang Chan screamed and grabbed Su Bai's wrist with her backhand, while frantically activating the Lotus Lantern.

The eerie blue light suddenly surged, transforming into a beam of teleportation light that attempted to envelop the two of them and force a spatial jump.

"Once you enter the spacetime turbulence, even a quasi-saint can't catch you! My husband is mine, and no one can take him away!"

Yang Chan's eyes flashed with a fanatical red light, her nails digging deep into Su Bai's flesh.

however.

Just as the light of the Lotus Lantern was about to close, and just as the teleportation power was about to be activated at the critical moment...

A strong, large hand suddenly turned around and grabbed Yang Chan's wrist.

"Snapped!"

This grasp was as steady as Mount Tai and as solid as a rock.

Yang Chan was stunned.

She subconsciously looked down at the owner of that hand.

Su Bai, who should have been weakened and powerless with his magic sealed, was now sitting steadily on the stone bench. His eyes, which always carried a hint of helplessness and compromise, were now unusually deep, as if they contained the vicissitudes and majesty of the entire river of time.

"My husband...you..."

Before Yang Chan could react, the dormant time law within Su Bai's body suddenly erupted!

"Certainly!"

Su Bai parted his lips slightly and uttered a single word.

This word is not a magic technique, but a profound truth that manifests through words!

Although his cultivation had not fully recovered, and although Yang Chan was the ruler of this small world, at this moment, facing the opportunity of the external barrier breaking and the laws becoming chaotic, the former Time Ancestral Witch finally seized that fleeting flaw.

He burned the last bit of his life essence that he had painstakingly accumulated, forcibly reversing the flow of time around the two of them.

"Buzz—"

Yang Chan felt an irresistible force descend upon her.

Her movements to activate the Lotus Lantern froze, the look of terror on her face solidified, and even the teleportation beam that was about to erupt was frozen in mid-air.

Time stands still!

Even if it's only for a brief moment, even if it only freezes her for a fleeting instant.

But that's enough.

Su Bai swiftly struck Yang Chan's forehead with his fingertips, and an obscure time imprint instantly entered her consciousness, forcibly severing her spiritual connection with the Lotus Lantern.

"Clang!"

Without its master's control, the Lotus Lantern dimmed instantly and fell helplessly onto the stone table.

"Husband! What are you doing?!"

As the time-freezing effect faded, Yang Chan let out a heart-wrenching scream. She tried to struggle, but found that her magical power was as if bound by countless invisible shackles, and she couldn't mobilize it at all.

That was a cage woven by Su Bai using the laws of time, specifically designed to target her primordial spirit.

"Let me go! Let me go! They're coming! They'll kill you!"

Yang Chan screamed frantically, her eyes filled with despair, "I'm trying to save you! Why are you stopping me? Do you want to be taken back by them? Do you want to leave me?"

Su Bai looked at the woman in front of him who had completely fallen into madness, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

There was heartache, helplessness, and above all, a decision.

He knows Yang Chan's current state all too well.

If she isn't restrained and her teleportation isn't interrupted, given her current mental state, she would definitely make the most extreme choice when facing the murderous women, including the Queen Mother of the West and the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit.

Either he drags Su Bai into the chaotic current to their deaths, or he detonates the Lotus Lantern, perishing together with everyone else.

That silly girl, she's really capable of doing something like this.

"Chan'er, calm down."

Su Bai didn't loosen his grip; instead, he tightened it, his voice low and powerful, "I'm saving you."

"Save me? You're harming us! You're betraying our vow!"

Yang Chan couldn't listen to anything. She stared at the ever-growing crack in the sky and the terrifying auras rapidly approaching, and she completely collapsed.

"It's over...it's all over..."

"Since we can't be together, let's die together! My husband, let's die together!"

The madness in her eyes intensified, and she even wanted to burn her own primordial spirit.

"Snapped!"

Su Bai raised his hand and, without hesitation, delivered a chop to the back of her neck.

But he controlled his strength and didn't make her faint; he only temporarily dispelled the death wish she had just formed.

"You..." Yang Chan's body went limp, collapsing into Su Bai's arms, her eyes filled with disbelief and tears. "You hit me? You actually hit me for them?"

Just then.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several streaks of light, like meteorites falling to the ground, crashed heavily into the peach blossom grove.

The terrifying shockwave swept away countless peach blossoms, instantly leveling the exquisite bamboo house to the ground.

As the smoke cleared, several figures, both stunningly beautiful and exuding a murderous aura, were revealed.

The Queen Mother of the West holds the Kunlun Mirror in her hand, her phoenix crown askew, yet it cannot conceal her domineering aura that reigns over all the heavens.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit carried the Flying Golden Sword, its tip still dripping with droplets of liquid condensed from chaotic gales, her eyes as cold as knives.

The Three Immortal Maidens, the Holy Mother of Wudang, Princess Iron Fan... all lined up in a fan shape, tightly surrounding Su Bai and Yang Chan in the center.

The scene was even more oppressive than the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation of yesteryear.

"Yang Chan! You really didn't die!"

With a furious roar, the Holy Mother Jinling pointed her sword directly at Yang Chan, "Hand over Su Bai! Otherwise, I will punish Nuwa for her disgrace!"

"I don't need you to clean it up, I'll do it myself!" The Queen Mother of the West was even more direct, the Kunlun Mirror shining brightly, locking onto Yang Chan's aura. "Deceiving Heaven and destroying your ancestors, toying with all living beings, Yang Chan, what else do you have to say?!"

Despite being physically restrained by Su Bai, Yang Chan remained stubborn and reckless in the face of the women's questioning and coercion.

She leaned against Su Bai's chest, clinging tightly to his waist even in this desperate situation, as if asserting her dominance. She raised her head and gave the other women a mocking smile.

"What are you saying? What's there to say?"

"You're all disappointed that I'm not dead, aren't you?"

"Su Bai is right here, in my arms! He's my husband, mine and only! What right do you bunch of unwanted old women have to try and take him away?!"

"court death!"

Bixiao was furious and was about to smash down the Hunyuan Golden Bucket.

"That's enough!"

A deep shout suddenly came from the eye of the storm.

Su Bai put one arm around Yang Chan and slowly raised the other hand to block the group of women.

The chains binding him were still in place, and his face remained pale, but the aura of the Time Ancestral Witch returned to him at this moment.

He looked at his confidantes who had once risked their lives for him and were now fighting for him in the chaos, and then looked down at the crazy girl in his arms who was still trembling even though she was restrained.

He let out a long sigh.

"Stop it, everyone."

Su Bai's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly resonated throughout the entire broken little world, carrying an undeniable weariness and determination.

"This farce...it should end."
