Chapter 213: He's Frantic! He's Frantic!
============================================================
"Are you stupid? Do I need you to tell me? I can hear it!"
Truth be told, tears were already welling up in Yu Lan's eyes!
She had given everything to this man!
Both the Spirit Pearl and herself—she'd entrusted them to this man!
"I'm not some cheap whore! Su Cheng! You just wait till I catch you!"
Truth be told, Su Cheng had initially thought Yu Lan was just playing along with her act. But hearing those five words now, he felt a surge of emotion too…
Yeah, she wasn't a slut. She just fell for a man—what was wrong with that?
So what if she was love-struck?
Who does it harm?
The last time Su Cheng used this divine power was at the Ling Mountain martial arts arena, commanding Ye Qinghan to kill Su Muchan.
【Yu Lan, you… I'm just…】
"Let go of me! I'll fucking kill him first! Su Cheng, you son of a bitch! Damn it!"
【I'm sorry…】
Truth be told, Yu Lan had already realized what was happening with the very first sentence.
But she couldn't hold back in the heat of the moment—she just had to curse!
"Look at her! Just kill her already! I'll find another one later. This kind of trash is only good for a round or two before you get bored!"
The immortal chimed in, "Immortal Su, you're quite the passionate soul!"
"Cut the nonsense! Kill her now! If you don't finish her off, I will! If she dies by your hand, I can claim I avenged her when I return!"
Su Cheng had wasted so much time arguing that he'd already built up his power.
Seeing the immortal hadn't moved for so long, Su Cheng cut to the chase: "Since you can't bring yourself to do it, I'll handle it!"
As he spoke, his right hand gripped his sword while his left formed a sword finger. His divine power erupted in an instant!
Yu Lan was stunned. She'd assumed Su Cheng wanted her to distract the immortal while he seized an opportunity to strike.
But now she watched the necklace at her chest glow with blue light, slowly drifting out from beneath her collar…
Damn it! Su Cheng had fucking planned this all along!
Wasn't this supposed to be a barrier? She'd known something was off all along!
"Su Cheng, you bastard! You lied to me again!"
"Pets need collars. Blame your own stupidity. Goodbye forever!"
As she spoke, space itself seemed to warp. Yu Lan vanished without a trace, along with the binding rope!
Of course, Su Cheng had added some special effects to this magic trick—a low-grade version of the Frost-Piercing Sword Array. The spot where Yu Lan had just been was now covered by a dozen illusory divine swords. If anyone had been there, they’d be dead as a doornail.
In the Lingxian Hall, Yu Lan fell from the sky like a meteor, crashing heavily onto Su Cheng's bed…
In truth, by the time Yu Lan rushed back to the Northern Realm, the battle would likely already be decided!
But now, Yu Lan had been teleported back along with the Heaven-Binding Rope…
Though that fellow's technique was admittedly lacking, she still couldn't break free!
Now she writhed on the bed like a caterpillar!
"Su Cheng, you bastard planned this all along—to teleport me back the moment the fight started, didn't you!"
On the other side, Su Cheng had just seen off his adorable wife and was preparing to face the immortal alone.
A dozen or so lightly clad immortal maidens instantly swept in on the wind, their divine weapons all swinging toward Su Cheng.
Su Cheng swiftly summoned the Map of the Realm. Only a split second before the blades touched him did he dodge that near-fatal strike.
The reason it had been delayed until today was precisely because he needed this map to deal with the immortal before him.
Expecting Su Cheng to single-handedly take on over a dozen immortals? That was nothing short of harassment!
The immortal was stunned. Watching those dozen fairies of varying cultivation levels dissolve into streaks of light, panic began to grip him. What kind of artifact was this?
How could it instantly eliminate all his precious dolls?
Yet this was precisely the power of the Jiangshan Map. Unlike other spatial artifacts, it did not alter the surrounding terrain.
Thus, to the immortal, it wasn't that his position or Su Cheng's had shifted—it was that the dolls beside him had vanished entirely!
"What? Feeling sorry for them? I thought dressing them up in such vulgar ways was your way of humiliating and getting revenge on them!"
"So it was just a personal preference? Ha!"
Su Cheng remained unhurried. He needed to re-activate his treasures to ensure absolute safety!
Armor of every kind, buffs of every sort—all activated!
Mental suppression, spatial suppression, gravity, wind speed, and even spiritual energy—Su Cheng made minute adjustments to all of them!
Don't underestimate these details. Success depends on preparation, and Su Cheng wouldn't let any chance to increase his odds slip by.
"You sure talk a lot!"
In an instant, the long sword sliced past Su Cheng's body. Thankfully, Su Cheng reacted swiftly!
Oh hey~ He's getting flustered! He's getting flustered!
"Who knew you cared so much about them? That won't do!"
"The ambition of a true man should flow like the Yangtze River, rushing eastward to the sea. How can one who seeks to accomplish great deeds linger in the embrace of a tender land?"
Su Cheng dodged with calm composure, unaware of what those women meant to this man.
But no matter how he thought about it, knowing he'd be treated like that after death—no woman, no human being, could accept that!
"You don't know shit! Those bitches! They all deserve to die!"
"Why don't we sit down and talk? I can help you see things clearly!"
Truth be told, Su Cheng hadn't anticipated this guy being so weak—whether in mental fortitude or actual strength…
He pressed his advantage, rubbing salt into the immortal's wounds.
"Bro, women are like…"
Before Su Cheng could finish, the immortal swung his sword at him!
"You don't understand anything!"
Six!
It was clear this immortal had a past unlike ordinary men!
Back then, Su Cheng might have genuinely been clueless, but now that he'd spoken those words, even if he hadn't understood before, he certainly did now!
But Su Cheng had no intention of pitying him. Such a man deserved no mercy.
Meanwhile, Ye Qinghan also sensed something amiss…
Though Shiyao remained unaware, even within Dongfang Jue's body, Ye Qinghan sensed the Fallen Immortal Ruler had been removed!
Here, Li Shiyu was just about to retire for the night, and Ye Qinghan was forced to attend her bedchamber…
"Shiyao?"
"Hm? Why aren't you undressing, Senior Sister?" Li Shiyu's small hands tugged at Ye Qinghan's clothes, ready to help her senior sister.
Senior Sister definitely wasn't avoiding cuddling with her—she was just shy!
The ever-helpful Shiyu was more than willing to lend a hand!
"No, stop messing around~"
Ye Qinghan also removed the Jade Pendant hanging around her neck and proceeded to inspect the magical artifacts within the Wan Yue Pavilion.
What she saw was shocking!
Half of the magical treasures in the Moon-Holding Pavilion had been removed!
And the only ones with the authority to do this were her and her Master!
[Xu Zhanfeng, are you with the Master?]
Ye Qinghan sent over a dozen messages in quick succession, but none were answered!
【Yu Lan, are you with the Master?】
Ye Qinghan sent another dozen messages in rapid succession, yet still received no reply!
Xu Zhanfeng was busy clearing out minor enemies, while Yu Lan was utterly unable to spare a hand…
She was bound tightly now, only able to feel the jade pendant vibrating faintly, yet utterly unable to move!
"Oh no! Master might be in danger!"
Li Shiyao was stunned. Danger? Master?
"Master is so powerful, how could she be in danger?"
"Cut the crap! Get dressed. We're going to find Master!"
