The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

On the old locust tree.

The Coke can in Lin Xiaoman's hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

Dark brown liquid spilled all over the ground and dripped down the tree bark, but she was completely unaware.

Her eyes were wide open, her mouth was agape enough to fit an egg, and she was completely frozen in place, as if under a spell.

What did she see?

Empress.

Wu Minghuang.

This is a peerless figure whom even the Lingxiao headquarters must receive with the highest honors, a person who has currently achieved the greatest feats for the Divine Land...

At this moment, she actually admitted in public that she was the master's Daoist partner?

What exactly is going on?

When did the Empress and Mr. become Daoist partners?

Lin Xiaoman's mind went completely blank.

"Li... Sister Li..."

She turned her head with difficulty. "I... I didn't hear wrong, did I? The Empress really said... she's Master's Daoist partner?"

Ye Li did not speak.

She simply stood there quietly, her right hand gripping the hilt of the sword at her waist tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Her eyes were fixed on the direction of the Taoist temple, on the crimson-gold figure, and on the white-robed youth.

She heard it.

I could hear it clearly.

The Empress said that she was the Master's Daoist partner.

"Your Daoist partner... is the Empress..."

Ye Li murmured to herself, her voice filled with disbelief, "How is this possible..."

She knew Chen Xuan was very strong.

He was strong enough to wipe out the Luoxia Sect with a single palm strike, and strong enough to easily crush Yue Qingyi.

She knew Chen Xuan was very mysterious.

He was so mysterious that even Lingxiao's intelligence network couldn't find out his origins.

But she never imagined...

Chen Xuan's Daoist partner will be the Empress.

"This...this is outrageous..."

Lin Xiaoman finally came to her senses, picked up the Coke can from the ground, only to find that the can was empty.

She casually tossed it aside, then took out a new can from her storage ring, pulled the tab hard, and took a big gulp.

"Gulp, gulp!"

The cola flowed down her throat, and the cool liquid calmed her down a little.

"Ye Li, you said..."

Lin Xiaoman turned her head, her eyes filled with shock. "Just who is this gentleman? To be able to make the Empress his Daoist partner... what kind of person must he be?"

Ye Li remained silent for a long time.

Then, she slowly said, "I don't know."

She really doesn't know.

Lingxiao's intelligence network searched through all known reincarnations, all records of ancient sects, and all information that might be related to Chen Xuan.

But nothing was found.

Chen Xuan seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

"But one thing is certain."

Ye Li continued, her voice carrying a hint of awe she herself was unaware of, "Sir's background is far more significant than we imagined."

Lin Xiaoman nodded and took another sip of cola.

"No wonder...no wonder he didn't like Yue Qingyi."

She glanced at the disheveled saintess at the bottom of the pit, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes. "With the Empress as her Daoist partner, who would still want Yue Qingyi?"

"Let alone Yue Qingyi, even if the Sect Master of Lingyuan Sect came in person, he would have to kneel before the Empress."

Ye Li did not speak.

But that's what she thought in her heart too.

Who is the Empress?

In her previous life, she was an unparalleled empress who ruled the cultivation world, dominated an era, and governed all sects. She was a powerful figure who had reached the Great Ascension stage!

Such a person, let alone becoming a Daoist partner, would be an immense honor to even meet once.

But Chen Xuan...

The Empress was his Daoist partner.

Moreover, judging from the Empress's attitude, she genuinely respects Chen Xuan.

It is not a condescending bestowal, nor a lofty act of charity, but a respect that is equal and even carries a touch of gentleness.

"gentlemen......."

Ye Li murmured to herself, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

She suddenly remembered something.

The white-robed prime minister of the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty has never been properly investigated, and even his specific name is unknown.

Could this Chen Xuan be the white-robed prime minister?!

The mystery surrounding this white-robed prime minister, as well as his level of strength, is far more terrifying than that of the Sword Master of Slaughter!

Inside the Taoist temple, Lu Yao looked at the Empress's figure, bit her lip, glanced down at herself, and muttered softly, "What's there to understand? It's just that I can't see her toes. I'll definitely be able to do that in the future."

then.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Chen Xuan was filled with resentment.

Senior brother, you said you didn't have any female confidantes, but now even the Empress has appeared and taken the initiative to become your Daoist partner.

"No...impossible..."

Yue Qingyi murmured to herself, her voice hoarse, "Empress... how could you possibly be his Daoist partner? This is impossible..."

Wu Minghuang looked down at her, his gaze as calm as if he were looking at an ant.

"Why is it impossible?"

She asked.

"Because...because..."

Yue Qingyi opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything.

What should she say?

To say that the Empress's status is too high and she shouldn't lower herself?

Is it true that Chen Xuan is not worthy of the Empress?

But she couldn't say those words.

I dare not say.

"I am his Daoist partner, but I don't know if he acknowledges it?"

As she said this, Wu Minghuang glanced meaningfully at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan turned his head and looked elsewhere; the scenery over there was truly beautiful.

"No...don't kill me!"

Yue Qingyi was finally scared, truly scared.

She struggled to get up, to kneel down and beg for mercy, but the excruciating pain all over her body left her paralyzed on the spot.

Her voice was choked with sobs, "Please spare my life, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

She spoke incoherently, her eyes filled with fear.

But Chen Xuan just looked at her quietly, his eyes calm and without a ripple.

"Are you done talking?"

Chen Xuan asked.

The moment the words fell.

Chen Xuan raised his right hand.

It's not about clenching your fist or making a hand gesture.

He simply pressed down lightly on Yue Qingyi at the bottom of the pit.

It's like crushing an ant.

"No!!!"

Yue Qingyi let out a desperate roar.

She wanted to resist, to struggle, to use her last strength to self-destruct her golden core.

But Chen Xuan's press seemed to carry the weight of the entire world.

She can't even move.

She could only watch helplessly as that invisible giant hand slowly pressed down on her.

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar.

At the bottom of the pit, where Yue Qingyi was standing, an even deeper and larger pit was forcibly created.

There was nothing at the bottom of the pit.

There were no corpses, no bloodstains, not even a speck of ash.

Yue Qingyi, the Holy Maiden of Lingyuan Sect, a proud woman of heaven who was in the late stage of Golden Core and whose combat power was close to that of a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, was thus crushed into nothingness by Chen Xuan with a single palm strike.

He didn't even have time to scream.

Dead silence.

A deathly silence.

Everyone stared blankly at the deep pit, at the empty space at the bottom, their minds completely blank.

Su Yanhan collapsed to the ground, staring at the deep pit and the spot where Yue Qingyi had disappeared, feeling as if his soul had been ripped out.

His goddess, whom he had cherished for three years and held dear in his heart, just like that... died?

Chen Xuan crushed him to death like an ant?

He suddenly remembered something.

I recalled what Yue Qingyi had said earlier.

She said Chen Xuan was a reincarnated being and very powerful.

She said that her junior sister had a Heavenly Spiritual Root and a Divine Palace, and her future achievements would be no less than hers.

She said... he was the worst one at Xianyun Temple.

The worst one...

Su Yanhan suddenly smiled.

They laughed hysterically, laughing until tears streamed down their faces.

"Hahaha.......Hahahaha........"

He laughed and cried at the same time; his once handsome face was now twisted like a demon.

"I'm the worst... I'm the worst..."

Chen Xuan only glanced at him.

His gaze was as calm as if he were looking at a mad dog.

"It's time for you to get going too."

Chen Xuan said slowly.

"etc!"

Su Yanhan suddenly shouted, "Chen Xuan! I'm your senior brother! You can't kill me!"

He used his last bit of strength to shout those words.

"Even the heavenly laws cannot bind me."

"You think I'll spare you just because you called me 'Senior Brother'?"

"ridiculous."

Chen Xuan has always detested moral blackmail.

"This farce ends here."

The moment the words fell.

Chen Xuan raised his right hand and gently tapped Su Yanhan.

It's like turning off an oil lamp.

"puff."

A soft sound.

A small blood hole appeared between Su Yanhan's eyebrows.

His eyes widened as he stared intently at Chen Xuan, his gaze filled with disbelief.

He never expected that Chen Xuan would actually kill him.

"you......."

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

His consciousness began to fade.

His body began to grow cold.

Finally, he collapsed to the ground.

His eyes remained open, his death unresolved.
