Chapter 710: Chapter 138 Heavenly Dao Kill
Jiang Tianling’s heart swelled with joy, yet he concealed his emotions, even feeling that it was an ideal opportunity to strike when the iron was hot and express his feelings immediately.
He did not even consider where this would leave his brother, Jiang Tianxin, once his declaration of love succeeded.
All he wanted was to seize this rare chance to possess Mu Qingyan, preferably indulging in the delights of this mature woman with boundless charm right away.
Thus, his emotions nearly got the better of him as he excitedly said, "Goddess, with your unparalleled elegance, why belittle yourself? In fact, I have long—"
"Young Master Tianling, I understand both your feelings and your brother’s. If Qingyan were to like someone, perhaps she could only choose between the two of you. Sadly, Qingyan is no longer pure, tainted in body, and thus unworthy of discussing love. So, Young Master Tianling, please say no more."
Mu Qingyan’s attitude was calm and indifferent, keeping him at a great distance.
"You still can’t get over him. I don’t know what’s good about him—an utterly ruthless, extremely evil man of low status and insignificance—"
Jiang Tianling started to lose control of his emotions.
"Young Master Tianling, why get emotional? Aren’t we on our way to slay him? This is a shameful matter for Qingyan; please give her some dignity and drop the subject."
Mu Qingyan’s voice became even colder and more detached.
But Jiang Tianling shuddered, realizing he had been too hasty.
Immediately, he reined in his emotions and sincerely said, "I apologize, Tianling was out of line. Goddess, you know that caring too much makes it hard to see the one you admire suffer, to see her so helpless. I just couldn’t control myself... I’m sorry."
Jiang Tianling’s demeanor changed drastically for the better. Although he inwardly cursed Mu Qingyan as a sanctimonious whore, outwardly, and at least until he could play his game, he maintained the facade of a gentleman.
"Young Master Tianling is truly understanding, just like your brother. It’s a shame he doesn’t treat me one-tenth as well as you do, or then..."
Mu Qingyan muttered to herself, her gaze devoid of spirit.
Hearing Mu Qingyan’s words, Jiang Tianling couldn’t help feeling more jealous, but he no longer dared to say anything for fear of making his feelings too blatant and offending her.
He thought to himself that the Lei Yan King must have had his fun with her to leave such an attachment, and if it were him, he would certainly show her what true ultimate bliss was.
However, these thoughts could only fester deep within his heart, not daring to show even a trace of them, since he still needed to use Mu Qingyan to find the Lei Yan King’s weakness and deal him a fatal blow, as well as extract his supreme soul.
With these thoughts in mind, even though he was filled with distaste, he nevertheless had to feign a sigh of helplessness and regret.
"Young Master Tianling, he must be in the Yuan Ci Secret Realm now. That ancient realm was an unexpected find for him, and with the Yuan Ci Secret Realm and Primordial Magnetic Pole Light, he even gained a terrifying Body Separation technique. Even if you manage to slay his avatar to death, do not think he’s really gone. He must have another method. When the time comes, I will suppress him with the Time-Space Soul Lock and you all must strike in an instant, ensuring his avatar dies with him, leaving no chance to escape," Mu Qingyan spoke after a long silence.
Unbeknownst to her, Yanyan had witnessed the entire scene.
"Indeed, that monster worse than a beast. If not for him, perhaps by now I could have had a good father like Uncle Tianling. Everyone has a father, yet I am the only one without. I want to see his death.
My mother suffers so much because of him, and even our Netherworld Plane has grown weak, falling prey to the Hell Plane."
Yanyan thought to herself.
Elsewhere, Jiang Tianling was saying, "This man is powerful, and even with the element of surprise, we could still make a mistake. So, I will have my brother and the Venerable Realm experts of the Jiang family strike. And from your end, Goddess..."
"From my end, I’ll have my father act too. He has been worried for me for a long time and is quite dissatisfied with the Lei Yan King. His involvement might also ease his concerns and unravel his knots," Mu Qingyan replied.
"That would be better. If the Netherworld Palace Master steps in, our chances greatly increase," Jiang Tianling said with satisfaction.
After discussing for a while longer, Jiang Tianling left somewhat reluctantly.
At that moment, Yanyan also quietly faded into hiding.
Mu Qingyan, oblivious to these events, stood silent for a moment, seemingly reminiscing about the happy times of the past, then decided to gradually let go of them all.
...
In the True God Plane, within the depths of the Void, lay the Yuan Ci Secret Realm.
On top of the vast and grand Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City, endless Blood Seas surged in the Soul Sea.
Perched atop a massive ancient altar, the Lei Yan King sat solemnly.
At that moment, a dark crowd descended, led by Mu Qingyan herself.
Additionally, a little girl stood at the horizon, her gaze icy cold as she looked on.
"So, you’ve come after all, and I have indeed been betrayed," the Lei Yan King said in a detached tone.
His gaze fell on Mu Qingyan as if to sever ties with her with that very tone.
"You promised me you would no longer harm cultivators beneath the plane, yet why have you broken your oath? What have you done behind my back that I don’t know about?"
Mu Qingyan rebuked coldly, and any hint of self-reproach in her eyes vanished completely.
"Heh."
Lei Yan King laughed.
"I can only say that there are some things you still don’t understand. However, I owe you an apology, Qingyan, I have used you once again."
Lei Yan King suddenly said.
As he spoke these words, the Endless Blood Sea churned, sweeping towards all the Cultivators who had come to strangle him.
Originally, it should have been everyone besieging Lei Yan King, but now the tables had suddenly turned, because Lei Yan King seemed not only to be unweakened but actually extremely strong.
In an instant, the scene of a crushing force erupted; Mu Qingyan was stunned, as nearly ten thousand Divine-level Experts and several hundred Cultivators who had stepped into the Supreme Realm all perished instantly, turning into a continuous stream of blood that spilled into the Blood Pool Altar of the Sacrificial Heaven Ancient City.
The blood became even richer, and the stench of blood pervaded.
In that moment, the only ones left were the shivering Netherworld Palace Master; only Jiang Tianxin, Jiang Tianling with their grave expressions; only Mu Qingyan with her trembling delicate body.
The next moment, Jiang Tianxin’s body suddenly shattered, not dying but vanishing.
"I knew it, women are unreliable. Tianling, you waste, deceived by a lowly woman, conspiring with Lei Yan King against us without our knowing, but fortunately, I have never trusted her!"
A young man in white clothes stepped out from the Void, then reached out and grabbed Jiang Tianling by his side.
However, Jiang Tianling’s body suddenly exploded without reason, shattering, and all his strength was wasted in an instant.
Jiang Tianling didn’t die, but all his potential was wasted in one fell swoop.
Jiang Tianxin snatched back the flesh and Soul of Jiang Tianling, who had almost been shaken to death, his face immediately turned unsightly, yet he still didn’t show any concern, as if he was sure of his victory.
"Hmph, knowing you had such a technique, I didn’t expect you would dare to waste my brother as well, good, now I’ll let you know the taste of your daughter’s Soul Extraction!"
"You probably don’t know, every time I provided your daughter with the highest quality Elixirs, I had already implanted soul fragments in her, and now these Soul Killing Divine Dao Fragments will become her eternal torment! And thanks to your Wan Jie Divine Woman wife, Mu Qingyan! Of course, I’ve also placed some restrictions on your wife’s body, and later I will play with her harshly in front of you, letting her know that I am better than you in every aspect!"
Jiang Tianxin sneered.
This sentence shocked Lei Yan King.
Mu Qingyan was also completely stunned, the turn of events was beyond her expectations.
"Just in time, she has arrived. Come here!"
Jiang Tianxin chuckled sinisterly, suddenly reached into the Void, and Yanyan was already directly in his hands.
Yanyan was very calm, even without resistance, her gaze calmly looked at Lei Yan King, her eyes showed neither sadness nor joy, not reflecting what one would expect from a little girl’s eyes.
Lei Yan King’s body trembled, he silently looked toward Mu Qingyan.
Mu Qingyan’s face was pale, but she dared not meet Lei Yan King’s gaze again.
"I knew their brotherly intentions were malicious, so I would rather bear an eternal curse, rather be misunderstood by you, to set this trap to catch them, but I didn’t expect the child to be born so early, and they acted so quickly.
All that I’ve done was almost lost. But I don’t blame you, as you are inherently innocent and unaware of the dangers of the world.
But I am grateful to my brother who learned a Killing Spirit Divine Dao, a True Illusion Realm, so this scene is not actually real, it’s just a staged scenario.
Knowing your thoughts, I would arrange in advance, Jiang Tianxin, you are doomed to die!"
Lei Yan King spoke, then revealed a fierce cold smile.
Jiang Tianxin’s face showed horror, and he immediately tried to escape, but Lei Yan King suddenly made his move.
"Pfft—"
A streak of Blood Light, almost directly slaying Jiang Tianxin, but after Jiang Tianxin fled, he terrifyingly discovered that all of Lei Yan King’s words had been deception.
That was not the True Illusion Realm, but reality!
Lei Yan King was just very cunning, deliberately doing this, making them lose concentration for an instant, then using his unparalleled strength to crush and kill them.
Knowing all this, Jiang Tianxin didn’t dare to hesitate, realizing that everything had failed, he didn’t even have time to take Yanyan as he immediately fled.
At the site, calm was restored.
Lei Yan King suppressed the unstable Soul Fragments of Yanyan and approached Mu Qingyan.
"Husband, I’m sorry, Qingyan was foolish, almost causing the death of everyone and nearly myself..."
Mu Qingyan was incredibly remorseful.
"These memories, they shouldn’t remain, my life is not much longer left, my Demon Heart is about to lose control. It’s a natural course for Netherworld to be taken over by the Hell Plane, that has nothing to do with me, but due to my involvement, your Netherworld Palace will be taken care of, capable of preserving, this is the greatest effort I can make. I will drag out my life, but listen to me, I’ll suppress your memories, at the same time try to remove the Soul Restrictions they’ve placed on you."
Lei Yan King said pensively.
Mu Qingyan began to cry tremblingly.
At that moment, the dazed Yanyan also suddenly cried.
The next instant, Lei Yan King didn’t hesitate, using the True Void Dao to directly suppress the memories of Mu Qingyan, Yanyan, and the Netherworld Palace Master, then like an Illusion fading away, he dispersed the scene and sent the three back into the Netherworld Palace.
