Hearing this, Dianlian's first reaction was that Chen En Gong had gone mad!
That Ximen Qiufeng was the young master of the Heavenly Blood Sect. Even setting aside his status for a moment, he was a genuine peak Divine Transformation realm cultivator, and was planning to break through to the Divine Sea realm.
To cultivators in the secular world, cultivating a Nascent Soul was already like being an immortal.
This was because the Nascent Soul realm was a watershed. Without entering hidden sects, it was impossible to cultivate a Nascent Soul.
Although Lotus View was an outer sect of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, it could not escape this restriction. Therefore, powerful beings in the Nascent Soul realm were no different from gods in her eyes.
Ximen Qiufeng, a peak Divine Transformation realm expert, was a god among gods, an invincible existence in Dianlian's eyes.
And Chen En Gong actually asked if he was ready to die. Wasn't he crazy?
Ximen Qiufeng shared the same thought.
He looked at Chen Xiao with disbelief, his expression contorted into an exaggerated laugh. "Hahahaha, boy, you're asking if I'm ready to die? Did I hear that right? Are you crazy?"
"Hmph, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Fine, today, I, this seat, will let you witness the true power of an immortal!"
Showing off in front of others, commonly known as bragging, was Ximen Qiufeng's favorite pastime.
However, he had lived in places like the Immortal Hidden Realm for so long that his life was uneventful, naturally leaving him with few opportunities to show off.
Therefore, when he left the Immortal Hidden Realm this time, besides personally refining those women, his more important goal was to come to this bustling world outside and have a grand show!
And crushing this decent secular person in front of him was the beginning of his grand show!
"Buzz!"
Ximen Qiufeng's aura erupted, and blood light overflowed.
The Heavenly Blood Sect cultivated using the power of blood, so their aura was naturally filled with blood energy.
Streams of condensed aura, like blood snakes, floated in the air, circling around him.
"Boy, this seat does not kill nameless people. Report your name, and this seat will send you off to reincarnate!"
From within the blood snakes, a dense killing intent emanated.
Ximen Qiufeng felt confident of victory, as the other party was merely a secular person.
And he, on the other hand, was the young master of a hidden sect!
The gap between them was as vast as that between clouds and mud.
"Idiot."
Chen Xiao uttered two words softly, then flicked his finger, sending a stream of dark golden True Essence into Ximen Qiufeng's body.
This dark golden True Essence was the killing move Chen Xiao had just used against Shi Kai, the master of the Blood Gate.
Ximen Qiufeng was slightly stunned. He had naturally seen this dark golden flowing light before, but it was only when this dark golden flowing light entered his body that he realized something was wrong.
"This is... True Essence?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. True Essence is a technique that only Void Transformation realm experts can master. How could you, a mere secular person, possess it?"
A hint of panic appeared in Ximen Qiufeng's eyes, his voice filled with disbelief.
Chen Xiao looked at him playfully and opened his mouth slightly. "Bang~"
"Bang—"
The first "bang" was from Chen Xiao's mouth.
The second "bang" came from within Ximen Qiufeng's body – the sound of True Essence exploding.
As the True Essence detonated, Ximen Qiufeng's body instantly became unrecognizable, turning into a patch of crimson dust.
"Alright, this matter is settled. Let's go."
Chen Xiao said calmly.
The sky outside was already starting to brighten. Chen Xiao had kept his word and finished the matter before dawn.
Moreover, he had also met a Taoist nun from Lotus View, and it happened that he could return to Lotus View with her, saving a lot of trouble.
As Chen Xiao was planning these things in his mind, he didn't notice that the Taoist nun, Dianlian, was completely stunned.
She stood there blankly, like a statue.
In contrast, Lin Qian didn't have much of a reaction. After all, having witnessed Chen Xiao kill so many people in such a short time, she had become somewhat numb.
Furthermore, she only knew that Ximen Qiufeng was a very powerful figure, but she had no concept of just how powerful he was.
"Xiao Dian Dian, what's wrong? Are you stupid?"
Lin Qian poked Dianlian, who was like a statue, with her finger.
Dianlian finally came back to her senses. However, after regaining her senses, she ignored Lin Qian's question. Her first reaction was to kneel down with a thud in front of Chen Xiao.
"Immortal Master above, please accept this disciple Dianlian's bow! This disciple Dianlian thanks Immortal Master for saving my life!"
Dianlian bowed to Chen Xiao with extreme reverence, her voice filled with awe and fear.
Lin Qian stared at this scene dumbfounded. What was this? What was happening?
Chen Xiao was not surprised by Dianlian's reaction. He nodded slightly and said, "Get up. Since I encountered this matter, it means you and I are destined. Moreover, I have something I need your help with."
Speaking of destiny, Lin Qian silently grumbled in her heart, "We are the ones who are truly destined..."
When Dianlian heard that Chen Xiao needed her help, she immediately became awestruck. "May I ask what Immortal Master is referring to?"
She really couldn't imagine what she could do to help someone like Chen Xiao, who was like an immortal.
"Take me back to Lotus View first. I want to meet your sect leader."
Chen Xiao thought that even if Lotus View had a way to enter the Immortal Hidden Realm, such an important matter would definitely be decided by the sect leader. Dianlian was certainly not important enough.
Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Dianlian hesitated.
This was because although Lotus View was a Taoist temple in the secular world, it had a rule that it did not receive male visitors.
She wondered if bringing Chen En Gong back without permission would displease the sect leader.
However, thinking of Chen En Gong's immortal-like abilities, Dianlian felt that she had no room to refuse... including the sect leader. The sect leader was only at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm. If Chen En Gong wanted to force his way into Lotus View, the sect leader would be powerless.
Therefore, Dianlian finally decided, "No problem. As for what Immortal Master Chen has instructed, this humble Taoist will naturally comply. When would Immortal Master Chen like to depart?"
"Now."
Chen Xiao said calmly. He was not afraid of disturbing the quiet dreams of the Taoist nuns at Lotus View.
Although the sky outside was not yet fully bright, and ordinary people might still be asleep, the Taoist nuns who had cultivated would surely have woken up to perform their morning lessons.
Chen Xiao and Dianlian set off immediately. As for Lin Qian, she naturally couldn't follow.
Dianlian gave Lin Qian a token, telling her that if she encountered any trouble in the future, she could go to Lotus View for help.
Chen Xiao didn't leave anything for her. They were strangers who met by chance, mere passersby.
After bidding farewell to the two, Lin Qian watched their receding figures, sighing with emotion, "This one night feels like a dream."
And this night's dream was destined to be the most brilliant footnote in her life.
After leaving the city, Chen Xiao found a secluded spot, directly summoned the Yitian Sword, took Lin Qian onto it, and flew directly towards Mount Lüwu.
Speaking of which, ever since he obtained the Judge's Brush, Chen Xiao had used the Yitian Sword much less frequently.
Moreover, as his cultivation increased, the combat support that the Yitian Sword could provide him was far less than before.
He quite missed the days of fighting side-by-side with this old companion.
While Chen Xiao was sighing with emotion in his heart, the other passenger on the Yitian Sword was dumbfounded.
Dianlian's expression was blank, but her heart was so excited that she was about to die.
Flying sword! This was a genuine flying sword!
Riding a sword through the air! This was something how many fellow cultivators dreamed of!
Today, I actually did it! I did it!
Dianlian felt that after today, she had completely separated herself from her past self.
Her past self was merely a Dianlian who had never ridden a flying sword, not a true Dianlian.
Mount Lüwu stretched out in undulating waves, covering a vast area.
The mountain was rugged with peculiar rocks, and the terrain was steep, possessing some semblance of a celestial realm.
A temple and Taoist monastery, interspersed with black and white, were nestled among the mountains.
"Immortal Master Chen, that is Lotus View."
Dianlian pointed at the monastery and said.
Chen Xiao grunted and guided the Yitian Sword to descend slowly.
Actually, without Dianlian saying so, he knew this was Lotus View, as it was the only monastery within a hundred-mile radius.
When the Yitian Sword descended to less than a hundred meters above the ground, several figures in Taoist robes shot out from Lotus View.
A few Taoist nuns stared straight ahead, their eyes fixed on the Yitian Sword, their faces filled with vigilance.
As the Yitian Sword drew closer, they seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.
It was only when they saw their junior sister (or senior sister) Dianlian jump down from the Yitian Sword with a joyful expression that the Taoist nuns relaxed.
Their vigilance dissipated, replaced by deep confusion.
Who was this immortal-like man who could ride a sword through the air? And why was junior sister (or senior sister) Dianlian with a man?
"Senior Sister Kong Lian, Junior Sister Xin Lian... you don't need to be nervous. This is Immortal Master Chen. I've brought him to see our Sect Leader Master."
Dianlian greeted her senior sisters and junior sisters, introducing them with a smile.
Hearing Dianlian's address to the two Taoist nuns, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a moment of surprise.
Could it be that all the Taoist nuns at Lotus View had Taoist names ending with the character 'Lian'?
"You want to see the Sect Leader Master? No, no, Junior Sister Dianlian, you're not young anymore. You know the rules of our Lotus View, don't you? Ordinary men are absolutely not allowed to set foot in Lotus View. This is an ancestral teaching!"
The senior sister, named Kong Lian, shook her head, her expression becoming vigilant again.
After all, the man Dianlian had brought back was a master who could ride a sword through the air.
"Senior Sister Kong Lian, you also said that ordinary men are not allowed to set foot in Lotus View, but Immortal Master Chen is not an ordinary man. Didn't you see just now? Immortal Master Chen brought me here riding a sword! Riding a sword, aren't you surprised? Aren't you envious?"
Without intending to, Dianlian revealed a small secret hidden in her heart.
The faces of the few Taoist nuns fell, clearly showing their displeasure at Dianlian's smugness.
"Hmph, and if you think riding a sword through the air is nothing, then I'll tell you another piece of news that will surely shock you to death!"
Dianlian suddenly smiled slyly, puffing out her chest and saying.
