The goddess Paper Kite set off with great confidence, Houtu watched her depart as her figure gradually disappeared from sight.
Meanwhile, in the most transcendent palace of the Thousand Autumn Realm.
Wan Qianqiu's Dharma body sat cross-legged in the void, motionless, as if petrified.
Below, kneeling, was the Hundred Tribulations True Lord, whose form resembled a withered tree.
"I'm sorry... Please forgive me, Lord Realm Master. I failed to complete the mission and have disappointed you..."
The Hundred Tribulations True Lord kowtowed repeatedly, nearly scared out of his wits.
Not only did he fail in his mission, but he also needed the Lord of the Realm to rescue him, which only compounded his crime.
In an instant, True Monarch Hundred Tribulations had already imagined ten thousand ways to die, his heart filled with endless fear.
If he had known it would turn out this way, he would have preferred to have died in the Mysterious Heaven Realm.
However, he did not expect that since Wan Qianqiu had saved him, why would she bother to execute him again?
At this moment, Wan Qianqiu, who was sitting cross-legged in the void and emitting a faint halo, suddenly moved. With a wave of his hand, a stream of light flew towards Hundred Tribulations Monarch Baijie.
With death already in Hundred Tribulations, True Monarch Baijie closed his eyes, awaiting his demise.
The next moment, the stream of light landed on him, instantly restoring his withered body.
Completely renewed, radiating vibrant vitality.
"This..." Hundred Tribulations stared at his hands in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
The Lord of the Realm not only spared his life, but also restored his body.
True Monarch Hundred Tribulations couldn't believe it. Based on the Realm Lord's past behavior, he should be gone. Why had he suddenly changed his ways?
"Thank you for your mercy, Lord Realm Master!"
When the Hundred Tribulations True Lord realized what was happening, he immediately kowtowed repeatedly, overwhelmed with gratitude, and burst into tears.
Even if the Realm Lord ordered him to die again, he wouldn't even flinch.
"Rest assured, Lord Realm Master, once I recover, I will immediately go find that little beast and kill him at all costs."
The Hundred Tribulations True Monarch immediately spoke with a murderous look on his face, his whole body brimming with power, wishing he could rush back and have another big fight with Ling Xiao.
He lost last time because he was a little careless, but this time he will definitely give it his all.
"No need, you can't kill him even if you go back now."
Wan Qianqiu remained expressionless and said calmly, "Even I didn't expect Ling Xiao to suddenly unleash his power and defeat Hundred Tribulations True Monarch."
From this point, he saw a glimmer of change.
"Are we just going to let him go like this?"
The Hundred Tribulations True Monarch was filled with resentment and grew angrier the more he thought about it. At this moment, he wanted to kill Ling Xiao even more than Wan Qianqiu did.
"It's alright, there will be many more opportunities later. He's still alive because I don't want him to die. When the time is right, everything will be settled."
Wan Qianqiu spoke without sorrow or joy, having his own plans. He saw something new in Ling Xiao, and the answer he sought might lie in this man.
After hearing his words, True Lord Hundred Tribulations nodded heavily, and could only suppress his murderous intent for the time being.
Come to think of it, if the Realm Lord really wanted to kill Ling Xiao, he would have done so back in the Mysterious Heaven Realm.
The reason he was allowed to live was because the Lord of the Realm had other plans.
Once he understood this, he naturally stopped being in a hurry.
"I'll let you live a little longer for now!"
"Hundred Tribulations I think to myself with a cold expression, the smile on my lips growing wider and wider."
At the same time.
The main peak of the Snow Heaven Clan, a cave in the Snow God Mountain.
At this moment, Ling Xiao was helping Tianxue Liuli heal her wounds. A nail wrapped in black energy was stuck in her chest, constantly corroding her flesh and magic power.
This is an extremely insidious magic weapon.
Ling Xiao studied the situation for a long time before finally making his move, carefully supporting the precious object as he withdrew it from Tianxue Liuli's body.
The pulsating pain almost made her faint; it felt as if the pain had taken root and sprouted inside, tearing away every inch of her flesh and bones.
Tianxue Liuli gritted her teeth, trying her best not to make a sound. Facing Ling Xiao, she was too ashamed to speak and did not want to show any embarrassing side, so she maintained the demeanor of a clan leader.
Ling Xiao operated the device with a serious and expressionless face.
Tianxue Ji watched nervously from the side, feeling helpless and wanting to help, her face full of worry.
But her worries soon disappeared, because Ling Xiao was highly skilled and slowly pulled the nail out, then changed his method.
He unleashed streams of energy, which poured out and entered Tianxue Liuli's wounds, stabilizing her condition.
Tianxue Liuli's pained expression eased, and then she felt an unprecedented pleasure.
Her essence and magical power surged forth continuously, and her weakened body underwent a profound transformation, reaching its peak.
At this moment, Tianxue Liuli radiated beauty, regaining her former charm.
"Mother, you're all better?" Tianxue Ji rushed over, hugged Tianxue Liuli's neck, and said excitedly, finally putting her heart at ease.
"That's about it." Tianxue Liuli was unusually gentle, and she would only speak to Tianxue Ji like this when no one else was around.
He needs to maintain his dignity in public, so he usually appears quite aloof.
"After taking this pill, your injuries will be fully healed, and you may even improve further."
Ling Xiao interrupted the mother and daughter's tender moment, took out a pill, and smiled.
"Thank you, Ling Xiao."
Tianxue Liuli expressed her sincere gratitude, saying that without Ling Xiao, she truly couldn't believe what the consequences would have been.
First, the Snow Heaven Clan has changed hands, now belonging to the Tianxue Futu father and son. The mother and daughter, along with their younger sister Yao Yue, will likely be ruthlessly violated.
Ling Xiao waved his hand dismissively and said, "It was just a small favor, no need to thank me."
His nonchalant attitude made Tianxue Liuli smile bitterly to herself; this guy was as arrogant as ever, an arrogance that came from the bottom of his heart.
She suddenly became very curious about what kind of person Ling Xiao was in the mortal realm.
This composure and ruthless methods are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Tianxue Liuli believed herself to be far inferior.
"By the way, Ling Xiao, do you remember what Crimson Flame Divine General said?" Tianxue Liuli put aside her thoughts and her expression became serious.
"I've already mentioned that you are a Daoist partner of the Snow Heaven Clan. To prevent the Crimson Flame Divine General investigating later, I feel it's necessary to finalize this matter as soon as possible."
"How about you choose a woman from the Snow Heaven Clan as your Daoist partner? That would be a good way to report back."
"I think Yukihime is perfect for you. How about I take the initiative to hold a ceremony for the two of you and announce it to the outside world?"
Tianxue Liuli asked tentatively, and upon hearing this, Tianxue Ji immediately blushed deeply, standing there helplessly, wishing she could disappear into nowhere.
At the same time, she cautiously glanced at Ling Xiao's reaction out of the corner of her Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was stunned after hearing Tianxue Liuli's words, feeling strange.
Does he really have to become a son-in-law of the Snow Heaven Clan?
And then, the strongest son-in-law in history?
"Ahem... this matter isn't urgent, let's postpone it for now."
Ling Xiao smiled nonchalantly, then suddenly became serious.
"The crisis is not over yet, it's too early to talk about this!"
