Chapter 166: With Me Around, Everything Is Taken Care Of
Someone had actually disrupted this harmonious moment between him and his disciples. Chen Daoxuan was very unhappy. The consequences were quite severe
Without much explanation, Chen Daoxuan released his spiritual awareness. Normally, within the scope of the Heavenly Dao Hall, he would intentionally retract his spiritual awareness to avoid embarrassing his disciples or causing his own annoyance.
With his level of spiritual awareness, even without the invincible range of the Heavenly Dao Hall, his original strength alone would allow him to sense every blade of grass and every tree within thousands of miles.
In an instant, he detected the flying boat of the Holy Mountain, located a hundred li away from Illusory Void Mountain. Both Li Shenruo and Chi Yun were lying on the ground, impaled by Soul-Sealing Nails in their chests.
Chen Daoxuan stood up, swept his robe, and instantly disappeared along with everyone present.
"Hehe, congratulations, Second Elder, on your fruitful gains!"
Several Void Refining Realm experts congratulated the Second Elder with cheerful smiles.
The Second Elder also wore a smile, indeed, this unexpected harvest had lifted his spirits. Now, he was about to start converting the two into corpse puppets.
Li Shenruo had been struck by a Soul-Sealing Nail in the chest, rendering her unable to survive. Before completely losing her vitality, if she was refined into a corpse puppet, a trace of consciousness could be preservedthis was his intention.
However, suddenly, a cold feeling brushed against the Second Elder's back, causing a shiver of dread to run down his spine. The group of Yin Corpse Sect experts who were just congratulating him on the other side stared wide-eyed in terror, pointing behind the Second Elder.
When the Second Elder stiffly turned his head, he found that several figures had appeared behind him, seemingly out of nowhere. Among them, a young man was calmly gazing at him. Yet, the Second Elder felt a sense of fear as if he was being watched by an ancient and monstrous creature.
"Dare I ask, senior"
The Second Elder saw only the surface manifestation of the Unity Realm in the young man's appearance. But he was well aware that this was an existence he couldn't afford to provokefar surpassing the Fusion Realm!
How could such a powerful expert appear in the Northern Region?
"Silence. This Pavilion Master is in a very bad mood right now. I don't want to hear the meaningless chatter of ants like you."
Chen Daoxuan frowned, cutting off the Second Elder's words before they could be fully spoken, and then he landed on the deck as if no one was there.
Li Yourong was the first to notice, rushing to the side of her sister Li Shenruo, whose vitality had almost dissipated. Although her sister usually focused on cultivation and didn't play with her, their occasional interactions were enough for Li Yourong to feel her sister's concern for her.
"Sister Wake up Master, Master, what should Yourong do? Master..."
Li Yourong saw her sister's life force fading away and was instantly at a loss, her tears streaming down her face. Her only hope lay in their all-powerful master.
As the snow fell heavier and heavier, a thin layer had already formed on Li Shenruo's body. Her body grew colder.
Seeing her sister's distress, Li Yourong brushed the snow off her sister's body with all her might, but the snowfall was too intense to clear completely. She became even more anxious, her tears falling faster, overwhelmed with helplessness.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, everything will be fine."
Chen Daoxuan approached and patted Li Yourong's shoulder. Li Shenruo's life force had crumbled by now, and she was in an inevitable death situation. Even if anyone else came, there would be nothing they could do.
Yet, Chen Daoxuan remained composed. Although he couldn't perform a miracle to bring the dead back to life with his current level of strength, once they returned to the Heavenly Dao Hall, even if someone was already dead, as long as their true spirit hadn't yet passed into reincarnation or their true spirit hadn't been shattered, he could bring them back to life.
Seeing Li Yourong's anxious state, Chen Daoxuan pointed slightly towards Li Shenruo and Chi Yun. The Soul-Sealing Nails piercing through their bodies instantly dissipated. Freed from the suppression of the Soul-Sealing Nails and aided by Li Yourong's shaking, Li Shenruo struggled to open her eyes just a fraction.
"Yourong Sister brought you braised goose. I wanted to eat with you I'm afraid I won't get the chance now."
Li Shenruo looked at her tearful sister and managed to force a smile, her eyes moist. She knew her own condition all too well. Her life force had already been severed, and death was only a matter of timea short time
Even if Senior Chen is a Loose Immortal, it is useless, it is too late, the pulse of the heart is broken, and even Immortal can't save her.
"It's okay, it's okay. Master said, sister is fine, sister and Yourong will eat together."
Li Yourong followed her sister's finger to look, and there was a delicate braised goose on the table in the cabin. Staggering over, she brought the braised goose to her sister, Li Yourong tore off a goose leg, and put it in her hand.
Seeing this, Li Shenruo pursed her lips, trying not to let her younger sister see her sad side, she wanted to hold the goose leg and eat it with her younger sister Yourong. However, at this time, even if she exhausted all her strength, she couldn't hold it at all.
A goose leg fell onto the deck. Li Yourong picked it up and placed it back into her sister's hand, repeating this several times.
"Senior Chen, I'll entrust her to you from now on. Although she can be a bit clumsy at times, she's always kind-hearted. If she's done anything wrong or if there's something that displeases Senior Chen, please don't hold it against her too much."
Li Shenruo looked at Chen Daoxuan with a bitter smile, her voice weak, her eyes revealing a hint of supplication.
"Esteemed senior, I am the Second Elder of the Yin Corpse Sect from the Central Region. If I have offended you, I offer my apologies. These spiritual treasures, which I believe belong to you, will be returned immediately. Additionally, these items are a compensation from me. I request that you accept them, and we will leave at once."
The Second Elder of the Yin Corpse Sect was now in a panic, completely devoid of the air of control he had previously exhibited. He never would have imagined that he could have stumbled upon a flying boat with cultivator of the Profound Sky Realm who was somehow related to such terrifying power.
Carefully placing the spatial rings on the deck, he took off his own spatial ring and placed it down as well. With cautious steps backward, he signaled to his companions, preparing to leave.
"The Yin Corpse Sect from the Central Region?" Yes, I've noted it. However, you might not fully understand the situation. These offerings won't be enough to mend the mood of this Pavilion Master."
Chen Daoxuan glanced at Li Shenruo without elaborating further. All matters would be dealt with once they returned to the mountain and cured her. As for those ants that disrupted his mood, it was time for them to settle their debts.
"I wonder, what does the esteemed senior wish for in compensation? As long as the esteemed senior speaks, I offer my sincerest apologies!"
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder of the Yin Corpse Sect carefully extended his courtesy, his hands clasped in supplication.
"Tsk, aside from your lives, what else is of value? You don't have much to offer. Yanran, you handle this matter. I'll take our people back to the mountain."
Chen Daoxuan remained expressionless, never turning to look at the Yin Corpse Sect cultivators of the Void Refining Realm and even the two Fusion Realm experts behind him.
In fact, none of these people were worthy of his personal intervention. They were perfect for testing Yanran, who had already reached the Annihilation Realm. If she couldn't deal with them, the results of this seclusion would be disappointing.
"Yanran will carry out the order."
