Chapter 2315
wow——
A distorted ripple spread through the void, and a simple, ancient thatched hut slowly appeared, suspended in mid-air. Faint time-related patterns swirled around the hut, and the moment the curtain was lifted, Han Jiuling stepped out, his body also surrounded by the oppressive aura of a celestial being and a god.
But when he saw Chen Xuan and Xia Jiuyou embracing intimately, he stopped in his tracks, his face showing undisguised embarrassment, and his eyes became somewhat unnatural.
Chen Xuan sensed Han Jiuling's presence, and while still holding Xia Jiuyou in his arms, he slowly turned his head to look at him.
With a thought, a pale golden time Dao rhythm flowed from his fingertips, and the surrounding void suddenly rippled like water—time began to flow slowly backward!
Only Han Jiuling remained completely unaffected, clearly watching the scene replay before him, the moment and dialogue from just moments ago reappearing:
"I know your wish. Don't worry, I'll kill anyone who dares to compete with you for the future Holy Lord position of the Nine Nether Holy Land." Chen Xuan held Xia Jiuyou in his arms, his eyes sharp as knives, his voice gentle yet domineering. "Later, let Han Jiuling come out. I'm going to give him a good talking to."
Upon seeing this, Han Jiuling's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
In terms of sheer strength, he was indeed slightly inferior to Xia Jiuyou, but in terms of training results over this period of time, he was far superior to Xia Jiuyou. He originally wanted to come out and tease her a bit to show off his abilities.
Unexpectedly, they stumbled upon this blatant display of affection as soon as they stepped outside.
What's even worse is that Chen Xuan, that bastard, actually used the Great Dao of Time right in front of him, causing time to reverse and recreate this threat!
If it were two thousand years ago, he would have disregarded everything and used multiple forbidden techniques to fight Chen Xuan to the death and regain his dignity.
But now, he has to carefully consider even the harshest words he utters—he knows Chen Xuan's temperament all too well. If he really angers this bastard, the other party might actually dare to kill him on the territory of the Nine Nether Holy Land!
"Tch, a mere lord of a holy land, I don't even care." Han Jiuling forced a straight face, appearing calm on the surface, but as soon as he turned his back to the two of them, his eyes uncontrollably welled up with tears, and feelings of humiliation surged up, but he forced himself to suppress his anger.
"I'll say it again, those who flaunt their love will break up quickly! Pah!"
This was probably Han Jiuling's last act of stubbornness and resentment under the oppression of Chen Xuan's unparalleled strength in the same realm.
Having uttered this harsh remark, he didn't give Chen Xuan a chance to speak. With a flash, he disappeared back into the thatched hut of time, the curtain falling to completely shut out the outside world.
"Heh, even more stubborn than you. No wonder you're disciples trained by the same sect." Chen Xuan chuckled upon seeing this, reached out and gently pinched Xia Jiuyou's pretty nose, his eyes full of doting affection, not taking Han Jiuling's little mood to heart.
Xia Jiuyou was amused by him and laughed, and most of her previous embarrassment and annoyance dissipated.
The two walked hand in hand on the surface of the star, the spiritual herbs under their feet nourished by immortal energy, lush and verdant, emitting a faint fragrance.
Xia Jiuyou keenly noticed that Chen Xuan's footsteps were always intentionally or unintentionally heading towards the deep mountain grove ahead.
Her cheeks flushed again, a sense of panic rising within her. Finally, unable to contain herself any longer, she reached out and grabbed his arm, whispering, "You don't want to be here...you idiot with a brain full of mush!"
Chen Xuan was taken aback, initially not understanding what she meant. But when he saw her flushed ears and evasive eyes, he instantly realized what she meant and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Xia Jiuyou became even more shy at his laughter. She lightly touched the ground with her jade feet and shrank back, refusing to move another step towards the grove. The hem of her fairy feather robe swept across the ground, leaving behind specks of starlight.
"It seems you're looking forward to our agreement after you transcended the tribulation and became an immortal?" Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow at her, his tone slightly teasing.
"You're talking nonsense! I didn't! Yes, absolutely not!" Xia Jiuyou lowered her head, her voice barely audible, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her skirt. This was probably her last act of defiance.
Chen Xuan stopped teasing her, gently stroked her long hair, and then solemnly explained the purpose of his visit.
Upon learning that Chen Xuan intended to bring her army into the Immortal Abode to cultivate the Divine Demon Battle Formation together, Xia Jiuyou pondered for a moment and nodded, saying:
"The ten holy lands all use the same methods to maintain absolute control over the army of cultivators. I can mobilize the army to enter the immortal mansion at any time, and I can guarantee that the information will not be leaked in the slightest."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuancai nodded slightly: "In that case, go and gather your army. I will lead you into the Immortal Abode to cultivate."
Xia Jiuyou hesitated for a moment, looked up at Chen Xuan's serious eyes, and finally nodded. With a flash, she disappeared from the spot.
In less than ten breaths, Xia Jiuyou returned to this place with an army of 100,000 Celestial Immortals. The two held hands and walked side by side through the outer boundary-suppressing array of the star, appearing before the twelve True Immortal Elders.
The twelve True Immortals' expressions grew even more grim upon seeing this. With a border war imminent, Xia Jiuyou, as their commander, actually wanted to leave with Chen Xuan—this was utterly absurd! However, recalling the terrifying combat power Chen Xuan had displayed by breaking through the formation with a single sword strike, they dared not rashly stop him.
Chen Xuan cupped his hands to the twelve True Immortals and said with a faint smile, "Seniors, rest assured, I will report this matter to the Holy Lord of the Nine Netherworlds. It will not delay the border war."
Xia Jiuyou also suppressed the coquettishness in her eyes, her expression returning to its aloofness. She nodded slightly to the twelve True Immortals, as if the shy and arrogant woman on the surface of the starry sky was not her at all.
"If that's the case, what else can we say?" The leading First-Class True Immortal elder glanced at Chen Xuan warily, but finally nodded helplessly.
They knew very well that with Chen Xuan's combat prowess as a backup, it might be more beneficial for the Holy Maiden to follow him than to stay in the Nine Nether Holy Land to train troops.
"Thank you all, seniors." Chen Xuan nodded in thanks.
The two held hands and quickly stepped into the core area of the Nine Nether Holy Land. Instead of meeting the Nine Nether Holy Lord directly, they went straight to the super teleportation array leading to the Yao Guang Holy Land.
If Chen Xuan hadn't defeated the Twelve True Immortals with overwhelming power, the Nine Netherworld Saint Lord would have definitely intervened.
However, after witnessing Chen Xuan's incredible combat power firsthand, she chose to acquiesce—after all, Chen Xuan had played a crucial role in Xia Jiuyou's successful overcoming of her inner demon tribulation.
Having Xia Jiuyou follow Chen Xuan now might provide more protection in the upcoming battle.
Inside the Holy Lord's Hall of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land, a blurry phantom watched the two transform into streaks of light and disappear into the teleportation array, and couldn't help but sigh softly:
"Unexpectedly, the Heartless Holy Land, which has always had a strained relationship with the Nine Nether Holy Land, has now produced a pair of soulmates in the next generation... Alas, fate is truly unpredictable."
Unlike the minor incident at the Nine Nether Holy Land, Chen Xuan and Xia Jiuyou encountered no obstacles after arriving at the Yao Guang Holy Land.
The Holy Lord of Yaoguang personally created a golden-robed clone to greet the two in front of the teleportation array.
Compared to Xia Jiuyou's somewhat awkward position in the Nine Nether Holy Land, Lu Xueqi was cherished like a precious jewel in the Yao Guang Holy Land.
Upon learning of Chen Xuan's purpose, the avatar of the Holy Lord Yao Guang pondered for a moment, then looked at Chen Xuan with a solemn gaze and earnestly instructed him:
“Chen Xuan, I know you are not a reckless person. With a great battle imminent, I believe you must have a well-thought-out plan. Xueqi can lead the Celestial Army to you ahead of time, but you must ensure her safety.”
