Chapter 1743
"Focus on your cultivation." Chen Xuan gently stroked her long hair. "Your older brother and I are keeping an eye on things outside, so don't worry about them."
Lin Yuyao nodded vigorously, her gaze falling on the treasure on the table, her desire to become stronger burning even more intensely—she needed to recover quickly, cultivate three strands of immortal energy quickly, and become stronger quickly so that she could truly stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly stood up, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp, as if they could pierce through layers of void and look out of the immortal palace.
"You wait here patiently, I'm going out to take care of something."
Lin Yuyao's heart tightened, knowing that something must have happened outside.
But at this moment, she finally understood what it was like to be a little woman—it felt so good to have her husband make all the decisions and not have to shoulder everything alone.
"Be careful." She knew Chen Xuan's strength was unfathomable, but she still couldn't help but remind him, her voice carrying a hint of worry.
Chen Xuan turned around and smiled at her, nodded slightly, and then his figure was enveloped by a wave of energy, instantly disappearing from the spot.
Looking in the direction he left, Lin Yuyao sighed softly and murmured, "Only today do I understand why my sisters, who were so weak before, were still willing to choose to live and die with you when faced with a threat from a Celestial Immortal. Now, only because of this incident do I realize that if we were truly in dire straits, I would also be willing to die for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she swayed and transformed into a blurry figure, appearing on the first floor and landing next to Xiao Yezi who was waiting outside.
"Mistress." Upon seeing her appear, Xiao Yezi immediately curtsied and prepared to perform a grand ceremony.
Lin Yuyao used to value hierarchy and rules the most, but after spending time with her sisters, those rules and regulations that she used to care about had faded away. She raised her hand to help her up and said softly, "There's no need for such a grand ceremony in the future. Ordinary greetings will suffice."
Xiao Yezi's heart tightened, but she still respectfully replied, "Yes, Mistress."
"Go to the residences of my sisters now and tell their personal maids that I will be going into seclusion for several years," Lin Yuyao continued, her tone firm. "When I emerge from seclusion, my strength will have greatly increased, and then I will discuss and spar with my sisters."
"Yes, Mistress." Little Yezi responded and stood up, quickly walking out of the Qilin Tower.
Lin Yuyao turned and went back to the second floor. With a flick of her fingertips, beams of spiritual light flew out and set up multiple arrays around her—some to isolate detection, some to gather spiritual energy, layer upon layer, protecting the entire room tightly.
Having done all this, she sat cross-legged, her eyes calm and deep, and officially began her seclusion.
Outside, in the depths of the sparsely starlit void, all was deathly silent.
The carriage from Qilin City hovered in the void, firmly trapped by a massive array net. Strange runes flickered on the net, completely enveloping the carriage—a massive encirclement array set up by the pursuing experts.
At first, Lin Yuqiong did not want to alarm Chen Xuan, thinking that if she could resolve the crisis herself, her brother-in-law and younger sister would have more time to cultivate their relationship.
However, he did not expect that the more than thirty Void Realm cultivators who came to pursue him were all elites—in order to kill him and his sister, these people actually brought a lot of rare treasures that could counter the secret techniques of Qilin City.
After several exchanges, Lin Yuqiong was covered in wounds. As he staggered back to the carriage, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Unable to hold on any longer, he could only crush the talisman left by Chen Xuan.
"Hahaha! Kid from Qilin City, today is the day your Qilin City's lineage ends!"
Outside the array, a giant bat phantom flapped its wings, its body shimmering with strange array patterns. The auras of more than thirty Void Realm cultivators intertwined and converged within it, forming a chilling pressure.
"I thought the heir of Qilin City was so powerful." A woman veiled in black floated beside the bat shadow, her voice as cold as a knife, "You made us go through so much trouble to prepare, but it turns out you're nothing special."
"Young man, if you know what's good for you, hand over the heir to the Holy Qilin bloodline, and we might be able to spare your corpse." Another aged voice rang out, filled with undisguised greed.
Lin Yuqiong's eyes darkened as he listened to these words—he immediately thought of the incident a few days ago when his younger sister asked Chen Xuan to sever the origin of Qilin City.
If Chen Xuan hadn't been cautious, my little sister would probably have died that night.
The root of all this lies in the essence of the Holy Qilin's blood – which, according to legend, not only allows one to cultivate Qilin immortal energy but is also the key to unlocking a great treasure.
"Hmph, you want the essence of the Holy Qilin? Dream on!" Lin Yuqiong leaned on the side of the carriage, struggling to stand up. Her voice was hoarse from her injuries, but it carried an undeniable determination.
"Stop wasting words with this brat!" the woman in black veil sneered. "Just kill him! I refuse to believe that girl isn't in his personal immortal abode!"
"Do it!"
At a command, the enormous bat phantom suddenly raised its head, its massive mouth full of sharp teeth opening wide, emitting a piercing shriek: "Awooo—!"
Rings of sound waves spread out like a tide, carrying the power to tear apart the soul, sweeping towards the chariot.
Wherever the sound waves passed, ripples appeared in the void, clearly indicating that it was a killing move containing the power of the Great Dao.
The outer protective cover of the chariot was impacted by the sound waves, causing it to vibrate violently and emit a humming sound as if it could not bear the strain.
