"What are you doing?"
Lin Xuan was still filled with resentment. That had been an enormous amount of cultivation time—by his initial estimate, it would have easily surpassed a hundred million—yet Ling Pianran had consumed it all just like that.
Lin Xuan's heart was bleeding.
"Two Young Ancestor-level figures have arrived!"
"Two of them!"
Ling Pianran's calm voice rang beside Lin Xuan's ear. Her final words made his heart turn cold.
Lin Xuan immediately calmed down and looked at Ling Pianran in confusion.
Ling Pianran had assumed another bearing. Killing intent surged endlessly in her eyes, while her three thousand strands of black hair danced wildly in the wind.
Her formerly immortal, drifting aura had changed as well, gaining a dark and violent savagery, as though she had encountered... a mortal enemy!
"Can I help you?"
Lin Xuan did not ask why. He simply asked whether he could help.
"Prepare the Chaos Mother Qi!"
Ling Pianran smiled brightly. When she glanced back, her smile gave rise to a hundred charms, making Lin Xuan's heart tremble.
"Don't worry!"
"There's plenty!"
Suppressing the monkey in his heart and the horse in his mind, Lin Xuan gave a firm reply.
"Thank you!"
Ling Pianran had already turned back toward the heavens. Blue-white radiance surged around her, and a blue-white Taiji Diagram floated behind her back.
At that moment, she was exceptionally clear and ethereal, peerless and detached from the mundane world, standing alone beyond the world!
Her autumn-water eyes gazed into the distance. Blue-white hues merged into the Pure Yang Divine Fire, making it blaze ever more fiercely as it stretched across ten thousand miles.
She was like an immortal maiden within the flames, inspiring awe!
"Long time... no see!"
A voice exploded through the ink-black sky, and an evil aura suddenly spread.
