These Little Treasures Are So Attached to Me!

Lin Xuan's true trump card wasn't the God-Speed Bracelet or his swordsmanship.

It was the Invincible Forbidden Domain!

With an invincible passive defense skill, no one could hurt him, let alone kill him.

That was the key to victory, wasn't it?

Of course, Lin Xuan would never reveal this secret to anyone.

So in Lin Xuan's eyes, Ye You's entire line of reasoning was not only laughable but utterly meaningless.

"Whether it works isn't for you to decide!"

Devil energy surged around Ye You, and a force of blood and baleful intent shot into the sky.

A thick, blood-red light enveloped the space, making the souls of everyone present tremble and boil uncontrollably.

Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold at the sight. He recognized this force of blood and baleful intent all too well.

It was exactly like the force that had tried to infiltrate the Crystal Palace and been driven back by him.

"Looks like I really did come here tonight for a reason."

Having found the culprit, Ye You, Lin Xuan decided to grind him to dust.

After repeatedly trying to harm his daughters, Ye You deserved every bit of revenge coming his way!

Whoosh~

A burst of blood-red light flared.

Ye You poured all his strength into activating the Wushi Devil Art, gathering the boundless force of blood and baleful intent into a giant skull wreathed in crimson.

"Die!"

The powerful spiritual pressure from the blood-red skull sent ripples through the space for a thousand meters around them.

"That's it?"

Lin Xuan activated the Rakshasa Divine Sense with all his might.

The spiritual pressure of an Ancient Titan crashed toward the blood-red skull, sweeping over it like a tidal wave.

Bang!

The blood-red skull was torn to pieces on impact.

Ye You's head rang like a bell, and his vision went black.

If not for his deep foundation, that blow would have knocked him unconscious.

Even so, it was no pleasant experience.

His body shuddered as he staggered back a step, blood spilling from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth.

"Impossible! This can't be!"

"He's only at the Emperor Realm! How could he possess divine sense at the Great Saint level?"

For the first time, Ye You truly experienced the terrifying power of the Rakshasa Divine Sense.

His Wushi Devil Art had already reached the quasi-Saint level, yet it was still incredibly fragile before the divine sense of a true Ancient Titan.

What he found even harder to believe was that this immense divine sense came from Lin Xuan, who was only at the Emperor Realm.

After all, divine sense—that is, spiritual power—needed a powerful individual to serve as its vessel.

The strength of one's divine sense usually corresponded to one's cultivation.

Emperor Realm divine sense corresponded to Emperor Realm cultivation.

Someone with extraordinary talent, like Ye You, could cultivate quasi-Saint-level divine sense while at the Emperor Realm.

But that was the limit!

A person at the Emperor Realm couldn't contain spiritual power at the Great Saint level.

Yet Lin Xuan's existence completely overturned Ye You's understanding of the world.

"This man is truly unfathomable!"

Ye You could only sigh helplessly to himself.

"Do you have any other trump cards?" Lin Xuan asked calmly. "If not, I'll make my move."

"Lin Xuan, don't get cocky!" Ye You snarled, grinding his teeth in anger.

Devil energy surged up in torrents, transforming into thousands of black skulls.

Mysterious demonic runes swirled endlessly around Ye You.

The fierce devil energy plunged the entire Devil Palace into boundless despair.

"Let's see if you can withstand this sword!"

"Heavenly Demon Slash!"

The boundless devil energy converged into a hundred-zhang demonic sword.

Ye You became one with the sword, transforming into a phantom that merged with the demonic blade.

"Die!"

A streak of black light slashed down with immense force.

Bang!

Yet when the enormous demonic sword exploded against Lin Xuan, he didn't budge an inch.

That terrifying devil energy carried a killing intent that could rend heaven and earth, yet it couldn't even cut a single hair on Lin Xuan's head.

"Ah... This! How is this possible?"

This time, Ye You was utterly desperate.

His full-powered strike at the Emperor Realm had been no more than a breeze against Lin Xuan.

What did that even mean?

Ye You felt that after living for ten thousand years, his entire worldview had finally been overturned.

Lin Xuan suddenly sprang into action, piercing Ye You through the chest with a single thrust.

Killing intent boiled across his handsome face, enough to make even the Bloodthirsty Devil Lord shudder.

"You picked the wrong person to offend, understand?" Lin Xuan pulled out his sword and kicked Ye You to the ground.

"The one thing I can't tolerate is anyone trying to harm my daughters!"

"Unfortunately for you, you managed to make me furious!"

"So I won't let you die so easily!"

Lin Xuan put away his sword, clasped his hands together, and formed a mysterious golden seal.

"Y-you... What are you going to do?" Ye You cried out in alarm.

He could feel the golden seal in Lin Xuan's hands stripping away his soul.

Lin Xuan smiled faintly. "This is called the Demon-Subduing Formation. It's the natural nemesis of the demonic path."

"Once trapped inside, your seven souls and six spirits will be stripped away one by one, then crushed."

"And the feeling... is absolutely exquisite!"

With that, Lin Xuan flung the golden seal at Ye You.

Whoosh~

Golden light burst forth.

A cylindrical formation immediately trapped Ye You inside.

Then countless golden Sanskrit characters appeared within the formation.

Like a rushing tide, they washed over Ye You's body again and again.

Ye You writhed in agony as though he were being burned by raging flames, letting out a scream so ghastly it could curdle blood.

Before long,

his seven souls and six spirits had all been torn from his body. The gruesome sight made one's scalp crawl.

Lin Xuan watched for a little while, then calmly turned and left.

Ye You was as good as dead, and once he died, the Ten Thousand Devil Kingdom would soon decline.

But that was no longer Lin Xuan's concern.

All he wanted was to kill Ye You, the mastermind behind everything, and give his daughters a peaceful life.

"Lin Xuan, even if I die, you won't get off easy! My master, Devil Lord Wushi, will avenge me!"

Ye You let out one final howl.

Lin Xuan had already reached the doorway. He stopped and said without turning around, "I couldn't care less."

He snapped his fingers, and the Demon-Subduing Formation went berserk, tearing Ye You completely to shreds.

After returning to the Crystal Palace,

Lin Xuan inspected the area outside his bedchamber, put away the One-Leaf-Blinds-the-Eye Formation, and made sure he'd left no trace behind.

"Emperor Consort, why are you still awake so late?"

Just then, Feng Jinfan suddenly appeared behind Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan turned and replied calmly, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for some fresh air."

"Understood." Feng Jinfan nodded. "I heard a commotion and thought an intruder had broken in. So it was you!"

Lin Xuan smiled faintly. "Mm."

As long as he was here, no one would be able to break in easily again.

"Then I'll take my leave. Please get some rest soon!" Feng Jinfan bowed, then left.

Lin Xuan shook his head with a smile. Feng Jinfan really was slow on the uptake. Luckily, Lin Xuan and the children were together.

Putting the matter aside, he turned and entered the bedchamber.

On the bed, the four little girls were fast asleep.

Though, they weren't exactly staying still.

Lin Xuan heard Xuanshi mumbling "Daddy" in her sleep.

Her little hand felt around on the bed, as though searching for someone.

It seemed that even asleep, they could sense whether their daddy was nearby.

"These little treasures are so attached to me!"

Lin Xuan shook his head with a helpless smile, then gently climbed into bed and stroked Xuanshi's little head.

The little girl immediately settled down, the faintest hint of a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Xuanzhu, Xuanhan, and Xuanyou seemed to sense Lin Xuan's return, too.

One by one, they shuffled around on the bed until they reached his side.

Like adorable little kittens, they curled up in Lin Xuan's arms and fell peacefully asleep.

"Looks like I really can't leave them alone at night so easily from now on." Seeing them like that, Lin Xuan felt his heart soften.
