Chapter 532 Return to the Building
"Master!"
"Sister Bai!"
Jiang Wanying and the others screamed in surprise and rushed over to grab Xu Hanyi's wrist. Their fingertips turned white from the force, but the sealed spiritual power made them unable to even shake the hand. They could only watch as her palm tightened.
"Even if you... kill me, you will never... see her again..."
Bai Zhi's voice was crushed by the sudden tightening of her throat, and the corners of her eyes flushed due to suffocation.
"Master! I..."
Just as Bai Zhi's pupils began to dilate and she was on the verge of suffocation, Jiang Wanying's anxious voice suddenly rang out.
However, before he could finish his words, a shout suddenly came from outside the hall, breaking the deadlock.
"Senior Sister, have you rested? I found out the whereabouts of that kid Lin Chuan."
The sound came closer. Li Jun looked at the tightly closed palace door, a complex feeling of guilt flashing across his face. He muttered to himself, "Lin Chuan, ah Lin Chuan, I'm sorry. It's fate that has made me like this. If you stay with Senior Sister, at least... you can have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
The moment he heard the sound outside the hall, Xu Hanyi suddenly let go of his hands, turned on his toes and ran out of the hall.
"call……"
Bai Zhi collapsed to the ground, her chest heaving violently. She covered her neck with trembling hands and swallowed the air greedily in big gulps.
"Sister Jiang!"
Ye Xiaoxiao and Lin Wanxi hurriedly stroked Bai Zhi's back, their voices filled with worry and anxiety.
"I...it's okay..."
Bai Zhi's breath was weak and she could barely squeeze out a few words.
She turned her head with difficulty and looked at Jiang Wanying, who had cut her palm without hesitation and was hurriedly drawing talismans on the ground after Xu Hanyi turned and left. Her pale lips trembled:
"Stop it now, there's no... no time. My husband is... on his way."
……
outside the temple.
"Where is he?"
Xu Hanyi's voice was cold, with an unquestionable sense of oppression, staring at Li Jun.
"exist……"
Li Jun closed his eyes, then his expression changed slightly, and he was secretly surprised, "He's back?"
He suppressed his emotions and forced a flattering smile: "I will take Senior Sister there right away, but the reward she has issued is... cough cough... Life in the Holy Land has been getting increasingly difficult in recent years, and the disciples..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Hanyi glared at him coldly, his whole body radiating chill. "What bounty? What does it have to do with me? I don't need spirit stones to support my apprentice. Stop wasting time with this nonsense and take me to find Chuan'er!"
"..."
Li Jun's mouth twitched, and he sighed helplessly: "Senior Sister, come with me."
……
Perhaps because of his inner guilt, Li Jun did not directly tell Xu Hanyi the location, but accompanied him there personally so that he could help Lin Chuan if something went wrong.
The two turned into streams of light and rushed towards the outside of the Qingluan Holy Land. However, when they approached the border of the holy land, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
"Where is the Holy Lord going?"
Li Yue glanced at Li Jun, her eyes cutting into his face like a knife.
"..."
Li Jun's eyes flickered, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Well, I'll take Senior Sister out for a walk to relax."
"Ah."
Li Yue sneered, "Why? The Holy Lord took my spirit stones, it's not enough, now he wants another share? Is the Holy Land so difficult?"
"So you already knew where Chuan'er was? You told her first?" A sharp sword aura suddenly rose from Xu Hanyi's body.
Li Jun: “…”
"I'll settle the score with you later. Take me to Chuan'er first."
Xu Hanyi took a deep breath, and the surging sword energy suddenly subsided.
"If the Holy Lord takes her with him, then I will have to settle the accounts I have incurred with the Holy Land over the years."
Li Yue's tone was cold, and her eyes contained an unmistakable threat.
"..."
On one side is the financial sponsor of the holy land, and on the other side is his senior sister who is about to cause turmoil in the world. Li Jun is caught in a dilemma.
"Liyue, do you really think I won't kill you?"
Xu Hanyi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he took a step forward, with murderous intent spreading around him like a substance.
"Xu Hanyi..."
Li Yue's expression was complicated, with difficult-to-identify emotions swirling in her eyes. "I am sorry for you. If you want to kill me, go ahead. But Xiao Linchuan is your disciple and even your Taoist partner. You shouldn't treat him like this."
"Shut up, what does it have to do with you if I'm Chuan'er?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a biting cold exploded, and the Frost Moon Sword Domain suddenly unfolded, completely enveloping Liyue in an instant.
"..."
Li Yue lowered her eyes, concealing the emotion in them. "Please, Lord, for the sake of the spirit stones I have donated to the Holy Land over the years, please do not let Xiao Linchuan be harmed again."
After she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes.
Li Jun: “…”
"Hey."
He sighed heavily, and the next second, the formation runes around the holy land suddenly lit up, and an extremely powerful pressure descended, suppressing the two of them fiercely.
"You two are the pillars of the Holy Land. You should calm down. Lin Chuan will be back soon."
……
Dusk was falling in the border city governed by the Qingluan Holy Land. At the end of the long bluestone street, a man wearing a black iron mask hurried towards the Qingluan Holy Land.
However, at this moment, a woman in a yellow dress suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
"The master of the building asked me to invite you back to the building." Qiu bowed slightly towards Lin Chuan, her voice soft.
"I have something to do now. Miss Qiu, please go back and tell Qingshu that I will visit her later." Lin Chuan sighed lightly and said helplessly.
"This is a death order issued by the master of the building. I have no right to act on my own." Qiu lowered her eyes.
"I have now been promoted to the God Transformation stage. When the time comes, Miss Qiu can just say that she can't stop me." Lin Chuan said softly.
"..."
Qiu pursed her lips and remained silent. At this moment, two women with cold faces slowly walked out from behind her.
"Please return to the building, sir!"
"..."
"One is at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation stage, and the other is in the early stages of the Tribulation Crossing stage. It's perfect, we can test our current strength..."
Seeing that there was no room for compromise, Lin Chuan took a deep breath and a surge of fighting spirit suddenly erupted from his body.
"Sir, I'm sorry."
The two women looked at each other and attacked Lin Chuan at the same time.
"fall!"
In an instant, two purple-gold lightning bolts tore through the void and crashed down without warning.
The cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm screamed and fell straight to the ground, his whole body twitching and his expression in pain.
Although the cultivator's offensive momentum was temporarily stagnant in the early stage of the tribulation, he endured the discomfort and gritted his teeth to continue attacking Lin Chuan.
"Bind!"
She parted her red lips and let out a clear cry. Instantly, the sky cracked with ice patterns, and dozens of ice-blue chains, gleaming with a cold glow, poured down, enveloping Lin Chuan with a biting chill, wrapping around him.
"It's also the Law of Frost, but it's still far inferior to Master's..."
Lin Chuan didn't dodge or evade, but punched the chain.
There was a crisp "crack" sound, and the ice-blue chain broke into pieces. The broken ice fragments mixed with the halo of spiritual energy fell to the ground, turning into cold air and dissipating in the air.
"Impossible, a physical body resisting the attack of the law?"
The woman's pupils suddenly shrank, and her face was full of disbelief and shock.
"Law attack..."
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, the most urgent thing is to go back first."
Just as he lowered his eyes in thought, a cold light flashed in the air. Countless ice-blue chains, wrapped in a biting chill, swirled towards him again.
"No form."
Lin Chuan held a long sword in his hand and slashed with it, instantly crushing all the attacking chains.
Immediately afterwards, a purple-gold lightning tore through the sky and crashed down towards the woman in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
The woman hurriedly raised her hand, her spiritual power condensing into a shield to block the thunder. But when she caught a glimpse of Lin Chuan transforming into a stream of light, rushing towards the Qingluan Holy Land, her expression suddenly changed.
"Soul-calming formation, activate!"
She quickly made a hand gesture, and in an instant, the earth trembled. With her as the center, eight bright beams of light shot up into the sky.
"Okay, stop."
Qiu, who had been watching from the side the entire time, suddenly spoke in a cold voice.
"Master Qiu is wise. The young master is extremely powerful. This formation will definitely not be able to hurt him."
The woman didn't even turn her head, and she didn't stop making hand gestures with her fingertips. The spiritual power in her body surged like a tide, and it was obvious that she had no intention of stopping.
"I said, stop!" Qiu's voice suddenly became deeper.
"..."
The woman was silent for a moment, then slowly withdrew her spiritual energy and said in a cold voice, "Master Qiu is openly disobeying the orders of the building owner."
"The host is not here, so you have to follow my lead on this mission."
Qiu looked calm, but his tone was firm and unquestionable.
"I will report the truth to the host."
"what ever."
……
Hualong Country, log cabin.
On the threshold, a woman in an emerald green skirt sat barefoot.
"Do you think something will happen to him after he goes back?" Ran looked down at the grass at her feet and murmured softly.
"..."
The grass swayed gently.
"I'm indeed a little worried about him. He said he would find a way to help me. If anything unexpected happens, I..."
Ran's voice gradually weakened, and a hint of confusion appeared in her light golden eyes.
"..."
The grass swayed gently again.
"But he said it was his family matter, and if I followed him, it would cause him trouble."
Ran bit her lower lip, and her fingertips unconsciously rubbed the hem of her skirt repeatedly.
"..."
This time, the grass was silent for a long time before it swayed gently.
"Isn't this bad? What if he hates me for this?"
Ran frowned slightly, and the look of confusion on her face became more and more intense.
"..."
……
Qingluan Holy Land.
Lin Chuan took off the mask on his face, took a deep breath, and slowly walked into the holy land.
Originally, he planned to try to suppress Xu Hanyi after he was promoted to the God Transformation Realm, and then try to slowly change his character.
However, Xu Hanyi suddenly attacked and abducted Lin Wanxi and others back to the holy land.
Now he is so cautious that every step he takes seems like he is walking on the edge of a knife. If he is not careful, he will regret it.
not far away.
Xu Hanyi struggled violently, sword energy surged around him, and he was about to break free from the suppression.
Li Jun frowned, thinking about what to do, but his eyes suddenly focused and looked forward.
Xu Hanyi, who was struggling hard to break free from the suppression, suddenly became quiet, staring at the front, and his lips trembled slightly uncontrollably.
"Master?!"
Lin Chuan was thinking about how to get Xu Hanyi to release Lin Wanxi and others. The moment his eyes fell on Xu Hanyi's figure, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"You've returned just in time. Your master will probably be free in a few breaths. This is your personal matter, so I won't interfere. Just take care of yourself."
Before he finished speaking, Li Jun's figure turned into a shadow and disappeared quickly without looking back.
"Didn't I tell you not to come out?!"
Li Yue looked anxious, her eyes fixed on Lin Chuan, and she said hurriedly, "Hurry up, I'll help you hold Xu Hanyi back!"
"..."
Lin Chuan remained silent, just shook his head gently and gave Li Yue a soothing look.
Then, a smile appeared on his lips, and he slowly walked towards Xu Hanyi: "Master, I have missed you so much these days, shall we go home?"
As he said that, he reached out to hold Xu Hanyi's hand.
"..."
Xu Hanyi stared at Lin Chuan in a daze. Just when Lin Chuan's fingertips were about to touch her, she suddenly turned her face away and shook off the hand.
"Chuan...didn't you run away? Why are you back?"
Xu Hanyi's voice was cold, with complex emotions surging in his eyes, and a layer of frost covering his face.
Lin Chuan's eyes were sincere, and a gentle smile was on his face. "I didn't run away. I was just afraid that Master would be worried about my injuries, so I had to go out to recuperate. Now that I'm healed, I naturally want to come back to see you."
"Are you...are you still in pain?"
Upon hearing about the injury, Xu Hanyi's voice unconsciously softened a bit. His eyes fell on Lin Chuan's arm, his fingertips slightly curled up, as if he wanted to touch but suddenly stopped.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, Master. Let's go home."
Lin Chuan stretched out his hand again, but before his palm touched her sleeve, Xu Hanyi suddenly shook it away.
"You came back for them this time, right?"
Xu Hanyi's voice suddenly turned cold, and the temperature in his eyes instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Master, I just want to stay by your side in peace. But if you keep them locked up, I'm afraid the entire Qingluan Continent will be in turmoil."
Lin Chuan's eyes were earnest and his tone was a little helpless.
"Just let it go if you say so?"
Xu Hanyi suddenly chuckled and suddenly grabbed Lin Chuan's neck.
"Why should I listen to you?"
Her nose was almost touching Lin Chuan, and her hot breath sprayed on his ear, "Who are you to me?"
"..."
Li Yue, who was staring at the two of them from the side, suddenly felt nervous. Just as she was about to take action, she saw Xu Hanyi's gaze slowly fall on her. Then, a cold arc appeared at the corner of her lips, and the palm of her hand clasped around Lin Chuan's neck suddenly tightened.
"Xu Hanyi, don't be impulsive. Let's talk it over nicely. Let go of your hand first!"
Li Yue's pupils suddenly shrank, the hand holding the jade flute trembled slightly, and even her voice trembled.
However, Xu Hanyi did not continue to pay attention to her, but instead fixed his eyes on Lin Chuan who was nearby.
Lin Chuan was strangled until his face turned pale, but he still forced himself to look into Xu Hanyi's eyes. His breathing was unsteady, but every word he spoke was clear: "I am... Master's Taoist companion."
"A Taoist companion?"
Xu Hanyi leaned close to Lin Chuan's ear and whispered softly, "If you kill her, I will agree. How about it?"
"No...no." Lin Chuan's pale face was full of determination.
"Then what qualifications do you have to call yourself my Taoist partner?!"
Xu Hanyi's eyes were filled with crazy anger, and the fingers pinching Lin Chuan's neck tightened a little bit, "Why should I listen to you?"
"I'm giving you two choices now. Either you get out of here right now, or we'll be strangers from now on."
"Or, you can come back with me, and we can go back to being ordinary master and disciple. I will no longer care about the affairs of your Taoist companion, and I will naturally let them go."
