A Place Where Love Was Sealed
"Well, it's been a long time since we've had any... so we're a little excited for a moment."
Lin Dong, his face flushed, gave an embarrassed smile. He had indeed been a bit rude just now, but the beauty's reaction was quite enthusiastic, so he wasn't disgusted at all.
"Shut up! I don't want to hear this!"
Perhaps recalling a similar scene, Ling Qingzhu couldn't help but blush and quickly turned her head away, refusing to look at this scoundrel.
"Qing Zhu, you have to keep your word. The agreement from five years ago is still in effect."
Lin Dong lowered his head, his hot breath spraying onto the beautiful woman's slender neck.
"It counts... let's count it, but our relationship is currently maintained in private and can't be brought into the open. Just consider it as saving face for me."
Ling Qingzhu bit her delicate red lips. Although her pretty face remained aloof, she couldn't help but observe the man's reaction, as if afraid he would find it hard to accept.
She was born with the inheritance of the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace on her shoulders. She cannot let down the teacher who raised her with great care. If she is to become the next master of the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, feelings are not everything.
However, it turns out that admitting her relationship with Lin Dong wasn't that difficult. In fact, she felt a sense of relief deep down. Perhaps she had already made her decision but was just unwilling to admit it.
After all, this man named Lin Dong is in no way inferior to her Ling Qingzhu.
"Idiot, whether it's done secretly or openly, it doesn't affect our being together."
Under Ling Qingzhu's somewhat nervous gaze, Lin Dong smiled slightly and pulled her into his arms. Her delicate body stiffened for a moment before softening again.
"This feeling seems pretty good..."
Ling Qingzhu adjusted her body slightly, resting her head on the man's broad shoulder in a more comfortable position.
"Oh right, it seems you lost your veil at the bottom of the pool. Here, take this. My wife's unparalleled beauty cannot be seen by others."
A moment later, Lin Dong suddenly pushed away the jade-like woman in his arms and took out a veil as thin as a cicada's wing from his Cosmic Bag and handed it to Ling Qingzhu.
"Is this the veil you took from me back then?"
Looking at the veil that seemed vaguely familiar, Ling Qingzhu's beautiful eyes lit up.
Five years ago, on a mountaintop Ancient Tomb Residence of the Great Yan Dynasty, this guy forcibly removed his veil, saying he would keep it as a souvenir.
"Yes, five years have passed, but it still retains your scent."
Lin Dong picked up the veil and pretended to sniff it.
"Give it back to me right now."
Ling Qingzhu's pretty face instantly turned crimson as if burned by fire. She quickly took the veil from Lin Dong and hid it behind her back.
"Why hide it? Hurry up and put it on to cover up your stunning good looks."
Lin Dong smiled teasingly.
"It's dirty, I'm going to throw it away."
Yu Ren rolled her eyes at Lin Dong, but still solemnly put away the veil and took out another one to put on, covering most of her stunningly beautiful face, revealing only a pair of crystal-clear eyes.
As the veil fell away, the elegant and aloof figure, like a banished immortal, returned to Lin Dong's sight once more. However, the heart beneath that delicate body had been quietly melted away, no longer sealed away.
"Let's go, the one-month deadline is approaching, it's time for us to go back."
Lin Dong stepped forward and took Ling Qingzhu's gentle hand, their fingers intertwined. He looked at the ancient valley with deep emotion; this was the place where their love had blossomed.
"I'm sorry, but because of the sect's situation, I can't help you deal with Yuan Cang."
Ling Qingzhu gently raised her head, her light and beautiful voice ringing out, her clear eyes filled with apology.
Lin Dong will inevitably take action against the Yuan Sect, but she cannot.
"You have far too little faith in me, considering Yuan Cang is nothing."
Lin Dong lowered his head and pecked the beautiful woman's red lips, and amidst a series of scolding sounds, he embraced her body and fled rapidly towards the horizon.
In the central area of Demon Region, Teleportation Array connecting to the Demon City is set up.
With only three days left until the deadline of the Sect Competition, almost all the participating sects' teams rushed to this central region.
The champion of the Sect Competition is undoubtedly the Dao Sect, which has performed the most brilliantly in the competition.
Of the Five Hundred Direct Disciples of the Yuan Sect, only a little over one hundred remained after being killed by the Dao Sect. Two of the Yuan Gate Three Little Kings were killed by Lin Dong, the Chief Seat the Dao Sect, leaving only one Little Yuan King to lead the remnants of the Yuan Sect in hiding.
It is said that the Chief Seat the Dao Sect, who was in seclusion in the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, has also emerged from seclusion and is leading the Dao Sect disciples in a final siege against the remnants of the Yuan Sect.
The gravel area dozens of miles away from the Teleportation Array.
The Dao Sect blocked the Yuan Sect on the only road Teleportation Array. As soon as the news spread, people from all the major sects in the surrounding area flocked to the site.
Above the gravel area, two groups of people were locked in a tense standoff.
On one side was the Yuan Sect, with only a little over a hundred people left, who spent their days hiding and fleeing. On the other side was the Dao Sect, which was surrounded by them and burning with fighting spirit. More than three hundred Dao Sect were guarding their Chief Seat brother, Lin Dong, waiting for his orders.
"Lin Dong, does your Dao Sect really intend to exterminate my Yuan Sect?!"
Suddenly, a figure in green robes stepped out from the Yuan Sect camp.
The once dashing Little Yuan King was no longer the same. He was listless and had a gloomy expression. He had been injured by the Old Man Fen Tian and had his Spirit Seal forcibly stripped. He had barely managed to heal his internal injuries and rejoin the team.
However, they were then targeted by the majority of the Dao Sect. Ying Huanhuan and Qing Tan led their forces to besiege and kill the Yuan Sect's disciple. Chen Kui, along with Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan, two experts who had already broken through to the Half-step Life Mysterious Stage, joined forces to fight against Yuan Cang, who had lost his Spirit Seal.
With the battle spiraling out of control, Yuan Cang, left with only a hundred or so men, could only fight and retreat, intending to withdraw to the vicinity of the Teleportation Array and wait for the tournament to end.
Unexpectedly, they were blocked here by Lin Dong and his men.
"Of course, a person should keep their word. If I say I'll kill your whole family, I'll kill your whole family. If I say I'll wipe out your entire clan, I'll wipe out your entire clan. So today, not a single person from the Yuan Sect will be spared."
Surrounded by Ying Huanhuan, Ying Xiaoxiao, and others, Lin Dong smiled and said.
"Yes, Chief Seat Brother! Leave no one from the Yuan Sect alive!"
The three hundred Dao Sect bowed in unison and shouted in unison.
The soaring fighting spirit and murderous aura startled Yuan Cang and the more than one hundred disciples of the Yuan Sect, causing them to change color. Even the people from various sects watching from afar couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Today, Yuan Sect is probably really doomed!
"Lin Dong! Aren't you afraid that the Three Great Sect Masters of Yuan Gate will be enraged and wage war against your Dao Sect?!"
Enraged, Yuan Cang couldn't help but roar loudly.
"Let's start the war then. What's there to be afraid of? We'll all be finished together. Yuan Cang, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. If you can beat me today, I'll let you leave. If you can't, then you'll all die."
"So, are you going to accept this fight or not?!"
Lin Dong burst into loud laughter.
