Chen Fan smiled when he heard that. His master was not as strong as him now.

Besides, his master had been Empress Xuanji in her previous life, a supreme powerhouse with a competitive nature.

As long as he sweet-talked her a little into going home with him, everything would fall naturally into place.

"What are you smiling at?" Ling Qingcheng glanced at Chen Fan.

It took me so much effort to make this decision.

"Nothing. I just thought of something interesting." Chen Fan continued, "In that case, let's go home, Qingcheng."

The next step was to sweet-talk her into having babies. What bad intentions could her disciple possibly have?

Something interesting? Ling Qingcheng wondered.

Then she said, "All right. But I haven't had time to discuss it with my master. She went to White Emperor Province."

Though she said that, she did not think her master could stop her Great Emperor husband.

Chen Fan hummed in acknowledgment. "What a coincidence. Our home is in White Emperor Province too."

"White Emperor Province..." Ling Qingcheng murmured. Her master had gone to White Emperor Province to investigate the situation. They probably would not run into each other...

So she thought.

Then the two rose, preparing to leave the Divine Dao Holy Land.

At that moment.

A group had arrived outside the Divine Dao Holy Land.

The young man at their head looked furious.

"Move aside. I want to see Qingcheng!"

He was a young master of the Shen Family of the Heaven and Earth Dao Domain in Burning Province, named Shen Jinlin.

Jinlin, as in "How could a golden carp remain confined to a pond?"

He had even brought a Lineage ancestor along to hold the fort.

Because he had actually learned that another man had approached the woman he had his eye on, he had summoned reinforcements and come straight to their door without another word!

He did not know exactly what had happened.

Outside the Divine Dao Holy Land, Chen Xuandao, who was on guard duty, blocked their way with his brows tightly knitted.

Thinking of his own young master, he relaxed a little.

"Greetings, Shen Family Ancestor."

Then he continued, "Young Master Shen, the Holy Maiden is not available to receive outsiders. Please head back for now."

The Shen Family was an enormous power with countless experts, second only to the ancient aristocratic families on the Desolate Ancient Continent.

Moreover, the Shen Clan Chamber of Commerce spanned the continent and possessed immense wealth. Even the Divine Dao Holy Land was unwilling to offend them.

This young master of the Shen Family had always liked the Holy Maiden, and the Shen Family also intended to arrange a marriage alliance between the two powers.

But the Holy Maiden was aloof by nature and had no interest in it. Not to mention that circumstances had changed far too much now. As an ancestor of the Chen Lineage, he naturally had to side with his own young master.

Still, he cast a meaningful glance at an old man following behind the Shen Family group.

"Not receiving outsiders?" Shen Jinlin snorted, paying Chen Xuandao no heed whatsoever.

"A mere outer sect elder dares to stop us? Today, I must see Qingcheng!"

At the same time, he turned his head to prompt, "Ancestor, sorry for the trouble."

Even if he had to force his way in, he would get inside. Even if he injured an elder, the Shen Family would back him up. Besides, the Divine Dao Holy Land could not possibly offend their Shen Family over an outer sect elder!

The Shen Family ancestor beside him immediately brought his oppressive might crashing down.

A mere Body Integration Realm cultivator, even an elder, was nothing but an ant in his eyes, someone he could destroy with one hand.

Chen Xuandao's expression changed instantly, and he could barely move.

He demanded, "Is the Shen Family disregarding our Divine Dao Holy Land's rules to provoke us?"

He said it without blushing or a flutter of his heart.

Because the old man he had just looked at was also a teammate.

He simply had not expected Shen Jinlin to bring a Lineage ancestor this time!

Shen Jinlin snorted. "I merely came to visit the Holy Maiden, only to be stopped. Elder Chen, don't go pinning every accusation on this young master!"

The Shen Family ancestor said nothing more, because he was only there to hold the fort.

The old man beside him, however, smiled warmly. "Young master, don't be angry. Let's not damage our relations. Allow me to negotiate."

His name was Shen Wancai, but his real name was Chen Wancai. He was one of the Chen Lineage's ancestors, and had gone undercover in the Shen Family to amass wealth, because resources and wealth were equally indispensable for nurturing experts.

Shen Jinlin also knew that attacking someone was one thing, but forcing his way inside would change the nature of the matter. Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to cause a conflict with the Divine Dao Holy Land over this and affect things between him and Ling Qingcheng.

Shen Wancai then looked at Chen Xuandao. "Elder Chen, our young master has no intention of provoking anyone. He is merely eager to see the Holy Maiden. Why not let us in to meet her?"

He offered his well-intentioned persuasion.

It had taken him great effort to infiltrate the Shen Family, become a hall master, receive their surname, and take charge of a branch of the Shen Clan Chamber of Commerce.

Now was the time to put on a good performance. As for Chen Xuandao, sorry.

He had no choice at this moment.

Chen Xuandao's head buzzed. He wanted to signal his teammate with his eyes, but under the Shen Family ancestor's nose, he was in no position to play both sides.

Ignoring his teammate, he said, "Young Master Shen, the Holy Maiden is unavailable right now. That is all I have to say. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves!"

Damn it.

He felt stifled. He wanted to go home.

Once he helped his young master poach the Holy Maiden, he would lay his cards on the table! He was quitting.

"Hmph." Shen Wancai's smile vanished at once. We're both Chen Lineage ancestors, yet you won't even give me this much face. How am I supposed to perform?

"Elder Chen, you are in no position to speak to our young master."

Boom.

He casually sent Chen Xuandao flying.

In his view, these were all excuses. What consequences were there to bear? The Shen Family could handle them!

"You..." Chen Xuandao was stunned. His teammate had actually hurt a teammate!

His heart sank. His teammate must have his difficulties.

"What about me?" Shen Wancai said. "Summon your Holy Land's supreme elder to speak."

He represented the Shen Family's dignity now.

Even an inner sect elder would not do, because the Shen Family had brought an ancestor! A Saint Realm expert.

The Shen Family ancestor remained silent. What Shen Wancai said was perfectly reasonable.

Chen Xuandao could not believe it. My teammate has hurt me a thousand times over!

He gritted his teeth. "The supreme elders are entertaining an honored guest!"

They were indeed attending to Chen Fan, his young master. Moreover, with his current identity as an outer sect elder, he did not dare say much at all. Otherwise, never mind provoking the emperor's might, those old fellows of the Divine Dao Holy Land would not spare him either, because word getting out would damage the Holy Land's dignity. How humiliating.

Nor could he warn his teammate that the young master was already a Great Emperor!

Of course, he himself was happy to see the Holy Land humiliated. Er...

Shen Jinlin was growing impatient and glanced anxiously into the Divine Dao Holy Land.

"What honored guest could be more honored than my Shen Family!" He did not want to waste time.

"Young master, you mustn't." The Shen Family ancestor offered a timely warning, as his responsibility required.

Shen Jinlin immediately came to his senses.

Someone entertained by the supreme elders was certainly no ordinary person.

He immediately grew displeased. "Could this be the one who dares covet Qingcheng!"

Could the other party have brought a Saint Realm expert too? Outrageous.

Shen Wancai chimed in supportively, "Young master, even if the Divine Dao Holy Land values this person, he may not compare to you."

Chen Xuandao nearly pissed himself laughing. Are you people trying to die?! Should I damn well warn you or not? I don't dare say it.

Hearing this, Shen Jinlin immediately let it go to his head.

"No matter what, I must see Qingcheng today!"

He moved to barge straight in, no longer caring about anything else. Otherwise, he would feel as though he were sitting on pins and needles.

It was then that a voice rang out.

"Who is making such a racket at the gates of our Holy Land..."

"So it is the Shen Family ancestor." The grand supreme elder appeared, looking somewhat displeased.

As for a mere Shen Jinlin, he naturally paid him no heed. He was not Chen Fan. Without his Lineage background, what the hell did he amount to?

But Chen Fan was in their Divine Dao Holy Land right now.

The Shen Family ancestor looked over, only to see all the Divine Dao Holy Land's supreme ancestors slowly approaching, all accompanying a young man, along with the Holy Maiden?

He immediately sensed something was wrong. Instinct.

He had thought it was only one supreme elder, but it turned out to be all of them!

He said politely, "Grand Supreme Elder, I accompanied the young master here to see the Holy Maiden..."

His seasoned eyes tried to discern clues, probing Chen Fan, because Chen Fan was far too young and was probably the young master or a prodigy disciple of some powerful faction.

Then his expression changed drastically!

Chen Xuandao breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not in a good mood. In fact, he felt awful.

Once Shen Jinlin saw Ling Qingcheng, he had no attention to spare for anything else. "Qingcheng..."

Then he spotted Chen Fan beside her. Fuck, standing so close!

With the ancestor present to back him up, he had no fear. "You're the one coveting the woman I, Shen Jinlin, have my eye on!"

His power poured forth. He was actually in the Spirit Transformation Realm, an exceedingly rare, peerless prodigy!

"Young master." The Shen Family ancestor hurriedly warned him, then gave a muffled groan and spat blood. He felt as though his soul were about to shatter.

How was this possible?! Even the Divine Dao Holy Land's supreme elders could not inflict such injuries on him!

Yet now, merely probing a young man...

Unfortunately, it was too late. Shen Jinlin was focused solely on Ling Qingcheng and had not noticed that the ancestor had already been gravely injured in an instant.

All he heard was, "Is Qingcheng's name something you are entitled to call..."

It was like a demonic voice from hell.

Immediately afterward, Shen Jinlin's body rose into the air beyond his control.

He could not believe it. Why did he have no strength to resist whatsoever!

The other party had not even brought a Saint Realm expert to protect him!

"You... let me go... do you know my father is..." His words were slurred, the pain unbearable.

"Release our young master." Shen Wancai was badly frightened, but the young master had not even finished speaking clearly. He had to warn the other party.

Meanwhile, Ling Qingcheng stood unusually obediently at Chen Fan's side, watching coldly.

The grand supreme elder knew that the Shen Family ancestor had already been gravely injured by Chen Fan. He sucked in a breath.

He hurriedly reminded him, "Great Emperor, they are from the Shen Family of the Heaven and Earth Dao Domain..."

"And what of it?"
