Spirit Domain.
Deep in the forest, there stands a luxurious house, crafted from dazzling crystal. The surrounding area is shrouded in Immortal Qi, with towering trees shimmering with strange light. Inside, a hunched old man sits cross-legged, his eyes closed and his breathing steady.
And this old man was none other than Jialan, the High Priest of the Spirit Race.
At this moment, Jialan slowly opened his eyes, a dark light flashing within them, his expression shifting between light and shadow.
A few days ago, he sensed that Liu Mengli was breaking through the seal and forming a physical body. So, he sent Qingxuan to stop her and kill her in the Human Domain. However, several days have passed and Jialan still hasn't seen Qingxuan.
This puzzled him greatly. Logically speaking, killing Liu Mengli, who had not yet fully recovered her strength, would be a very simple matter for Qingxuan, and he would be able to return in no time.
"Could it be that something happened to Qingxuan?" Jialan said in a deep voice, his expression not good. As Mid-stage Immortal Emperor, Qingxuan was his capable assistant. If something had really happened to him, it would not be good news for him.
"Hmph, it seems I underestimated her." Jialan sneered, the gloom on his face vanishing, replaced by a cold laugh. "So what if you return? The Elf Queen is trapped now, and it won't be long before she meets a gruesome end there. At that time, the entire Spirit Race will be under my control, hahaha..."
He laughed maniacally, a laugh that sent chills down your spine, took a step forward, and disappeared into the house.
"I've come to say goodbye." Inside the bamboo forest, Liu Mengli was dressed in a purple dress, like a purple cloud, which clung tightly to her body, outlining her curvaceous and perfectly shaped figure.
After she condensed her physical body that day, she did not rush back to the Spirit Domain. Instead, she chose to go into seclusion to recover her cultivation level. She knew that the struggle for the throne was cruel, and many powerful Spirit Race experts would be involved. With her current cultivation level, even if she went back, she probably wouldn't be able to help much. Therefore, it was better to go into seclusion at the academy to recover her cultivation level before returning.
At this moment, she has recovered to the Mid-stage Immortal Emperor. Her aura is powerful and surging, and she has already reached her peak. It is estimated that it will not be long before she breaks through to the Late-stage Immortal Emperor.
This breakthrough speed is truly astonishing. However, it is normal, after all, she was originally at the Peak Immortal Emperor Realm, and her understanding of cultivation is unmatched by ordinary people. Moreover, this should not be called a breakthrough, but rather a recovery of her realm.
Although she had only recovered to the Mid-stage Immortal Emperor, there was no extra time left for her. If she returned too late, the battle for the throne would likely have already ended. What use would her return be then?
" Vice Dean Liu, are you sure it won't be dangerous for you to go back like this?" Qin Zixuan asked worriedly. She knew a little about the struggle for the throne; it was extremely cruel and many people would die.
"There's no other way. Even if it's dangerous, I have to go back to help my sister, because I'm her sister." Liu Mengli smiled sweetly, revealing a row of pearly white teeth, making her very beautiful.
She turned her head slightly, her gaze falling on Su Chen. She bowed to him and said earnestly, "Thank you for your help, Dean. If I am still alive and have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you with my life!"
"It's nothing." Su Chen nodded calmly, accepting the greeting without saying anything more.
"Goodbye!" Liu Mengli smiled slightly at the two of them, then turned around gracefully, her clothes fluttering, her eyes filled with determination.
"You really don't want me to help you?" Su Chen suddenly asked, his gaze fixed on the beautiful figure behind him.
Liu Mengli, who had only taken a few steps, paused and stopped in her tracks. After a brief silence, she turned around, a smile blooming like a spring flower on her lips. "Then, may I ask for your help?"
Her tone was tinged with trepidation. She had considered asking Su Chen for help before, because with Su Chen's assistance, the matter of the Spirit Race would be much easier to resolve.
However, Liu Mengli knew that although the matter of the Spirit Race was a trivial matter for Su Chen, it was nothing to worry about.
But this was a major event for her, fraught with danger. She absolutely could not impose this precarious situation on Su Chen. If she did, it would be both unkind and unjust! Therefore, she could not do it.
However, if Su Chen takes the initiative to speak up and indicates that he is willing to accept her request, the situation will be completely different.
"You are the vice dean of my academy. As the dean, it's only natural that I would help you if you encountered trouble. I just didn't expect that you didn't ask me for help just now," Su Chen said with a smile, his narrow eyes like pools of autumn water.
"Mainly, I've troubled the dean so much that I'm embarrassed to ask again." Liu Mengli shyly, her cheeks flushing.
"If something really happens to you when you go back, who will teach the disciples of the Formation Institute in the future?" Su Chen said.
"I understand, thank you, Dean!" Liu Mengli was deeply moved, with tears welling up in her eyes. She forced them back, not letting them fall. It was so good to have a dean like this.
In fact, even if Liu Mengli hadn't spoken up, Su Chen would have offered to help her, because he didn't want to go looking for the vice dean again; it was too tiring, too difficult, and too hard to find someone else.
Su Chen nodded, then turned to Su Qin Zixuan and asked, "Want to come along?"
"I won't go and cause any trouble, you guys go ahead," Qin Zixuan shook her head slightly, then added, "Make sure you come back safely, I don't want you to get hurt."
Although she knew Su Chen was very powerful and would not encounter any danger, she was still worried and did not want Su Chen to be in any danger or get hurt.
Su Chen gently stroked her cheek and whispered, "Okay."
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, a faint sadness flickered in Qin Zixuan's eyes. Half an hour later, this sadness transformed into unwavering resolve. "I must cultivate diligently. I cannot hold him back, nor can I become his weakness because of myself!"
She took one last look in the direction Su Chen and the other had left, then sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and floated in mid-air to refine the power within her body. A faint golden light enveloped her, runes intertwined and swirled around her, and the aura emanating from her was growing stronger at an astonishing rate.
The Yin-Yin Chaos Instruction is an extremely powerful divine technique. However, it might not be very effective for ordinary male cultivators.
But you should know that Qin Zixuan used this technique on Su Chen. Su Chen's strength and realm are extremely exaggerated. He is invincible in this world, and no one can be his opponent.
If Qin Zixuan were to use this divine technique to cultivate with Su Chen, the heights she would reach would be unimaginable. And this, Qin Zixuan was unaware of...
