CHAPTER 217
The Elder Is Nearly Gone!
============================================================
"I'm telling you, Shiyu is truly furious!"
The dark figure merely snorted coldly, shouldering one and pinching another under his arm as he prepared to leave!
"Let me go! Master won't let you get away with this!"
The shadowy figure had found a clever solution: as long as he ignored Li Shiyu, she couldn't do a thing!
Even carried on his shoulders, the two beauties couldn't move an inch!
Ye Qinghan could only watch helplessly as one and a half of her junior sisters were carried away by the shadowy figure, utterly powerless to intervene.
The black mist spread like wings unfurling behind them, slowly unfolding. Ye Qinghan watched as the dark shadow enveloped the two beauties, gradually swallowing them whole.
At this moment, perhaps for the first time since joining the Lingxian Hall, Ye Qinghan felt utterly powerless.
Facing beings beyond the realm of immortals, her once-proud talents became utterly worthless, leaving her not even a chance to act.
If only she possessed the strength of her master's wife, she could protect those dear to her!
But alas, at sixteen, Ye Qinghan had only been a disciple of Lingxian Hall for three short months.
To mortal eyes, she might seem unreachably exalted, but before the great terror her master spoke of, she was nothing.
She couldn't even summon a magical artifact from her jade pendant, let alone touch the opponent.
The binding spell dissolved as the shadow vanished, yet her limbs felt increasingly limp.
"What should I do?"
Kneeling on the ground, staring blankly at the spot where the shadow vanished, Ye Qinghan seemed to have forgotten how to think.
Her junior sister had been taken! Her master was in danger too. What should she do?
"Master? What should Qinghan do?"
Such mutterings escaped her lips, though thankfully they didn't last long.
The moment the words "Master" slipped from her lips, she snapped back to reality.
Ye Qinghan raised her hand and slapped her own face—the face of Dongfang Jue—attempting to snap herself back to clarity.
【Qinghan, you are the First Disciple of Lingxian Hall. Stay alert!】
"Sword Resonance Peak!"
With a goal set, hesitation vanished. For now, the only course was to seek out her master.
Her junior sister and Master were among Ye Qinghan's few remaining kin. She refused to endure the agony of losing another cherished soul.
Grasping any celestial sword at hand, she launched herself into flight at top speed, continuously contacting Xu Zhanfeng and Yu Lan.
But it seemed Xu Zhanfeng was busy again, and Yu Lan remained nowhere to be found.
Inside the Lingxian Hall, Yu Lan exerted tremendous effort, twisting and turning until she finally managed to remove the jade pendant!
As the Jade Pendant slid from her waist and fell onto the bed, she finally saw a glimmer of hope!
Her hands tightly bound by the Immortal-Binding Rope, Yu Lan performed a tight turn on the bed, bringing her head close to the jade pendant. With her small mouth, she bit down on it.
Slowly sitting up, she finally felt somewhat better. Taking a long, deep breath through her nose and resting for a moment, she then planned to call for help!
The jade pendant had been vibrating for quite some time, and she was worried something might have gone wrong with Su Cheng!
But just as Yu Lan was about to send a distress message, Ye Qinghan messaged her!
It was a stroke of bad luck. With one vibration, she lost her grip…
She watched the jade pendant slide down her chest all the way to her lower abdomen…
"Hey? Miss! What are you doing sending messages at a time like this?!"
Then it started vibrating nonstop again…
She jolted awake—this was it…
The Jade Pendant landed on her lower abdomen. With her movement, it rolled down between her legs…
The Jade Pendant got stuck right between her thighs, wedged in the gap of her thong…
Just then, another message arrived…
Buzz buzz buzz~
Buzz buzz buzz~
Ye Qinghan was now frantic with worry!
Yu Lan felt she couldn't hold on much longer either!
"Miss! Stop sending them!"
Yu Lan felt like she was losing it…
But ever since that incident at the Dragon King's Palace, this body had ceased to obey her commands!
It was like a gluttonous monster—even if she wanted to lose weight, this mouth was impossible to control!
She was no different now—this body was more honest than she was…
Now lying on Su Cheng's bed, his scent filled the entire room.
As everyone knows, the more you try to suppress a desire once it takes root, the harder it becomes to control.
Yu Lan had tasted many sweets, but right now, she wished she could feel nothing at all!
Helpless, she rolled over on the bed, trying to figure out how to get the jade pendant out!
But after trying for ages, she was drenched in sweat…
It only backfired…
The Jade Pendant was getting stuck tighter and tighter!
Its position grew more and more awkward!
This body was growing more and more sensitive!
"Ugh… I can't take it anymore… Young Miss…"
"Su Cheng! Hurry and save me, I really can't take it anymore!"
But Lingxian Hall was completely deserted. She was utterly alone, with no one to hear her cries.
The messages kept coming one after another, without pause!
Yu Lan was tortured to tears, now begging the young lady to spare her…
But Ye Qinghan's messages kept coming—one after another, arriving at random intervals. Just when she caught her breath, several more would flood in…
She felt certain Ye Qinghan must be lurking at the door, deliberately tormenting her!
Yet she knew it couldn't be…
On Sword Resonance Peak, Su Cheng's duel with that immortal had also begun!
Within the Jiangshan Sheji Tu, without those dozen or so puppets, the immortal before them wasn't nearly as formidable as Su Cheng had imagined!
Truth be told, he was surprisingly weak…
After over ten exchanges, they were unexpectedly evenly matched?
In Su Cheng's plan, this one-on-one duel with the immortal was the only move that carried real danger.
According to Su Cheng's expectations, defeating this immortal might require him to give his all.
But whether due to his cultivation advancement or not, he found himself with reserves left!
Su Cheng pondered whether the Jiangshan Sheji Tu had leveled their combat prowess.
With his greatsword pinned to the ground, wielding it to block the descending blade was a poor strategy.
Though Su Cheng could wield it with agility, the greatsword's bulk inherently limited its maneuverability compared to the opponent's slender blade.
Instead, he mostly dodged beside the greatsword, using his footwork to compensate for its limitations—a tactic he had long mastered.
But overconfidence never brings good fortune. Just as this thought crossed his mind, a gaping wound appeared in Su Cheng's side!
Su Cheng immediately backed away, puzzling over what kind of skill this was.
He was certain he had dodged that strike!
Within the Jiangshan Sheji Tu, magical artifacts were restricted, forcing the combatants to rely mostly on close-quarters combat and swordsmanship.
But what kind of illusion had this guy used?
Just as he pondered this, the long sword sliced through the air, thrusting toward him once more!
"Go on! Why did you stop talking?"
The immortal's sword technique was peerless, backed by overwhelming cultivation that suppressed Su Cheng. Combined with Su Cheng's injuries, dozens of consecutive strikes forced him to retreat again and again!
[Tongzi, heal the wounds.]
[Ding~ Deducting 17,000 system points. Removing the sword wound on the left side of the waist.]
[Tongzi, enhance physical functions.]
[Ding~ Deducting 20,000 system points. Slightly enhancing physical functions. Remaining duration: 02:59:57]
【Activate Divine Sense!】
【Ding~ Deducted 150,000 system points. Tactical Vision activated. Remaining duration: 02:59:57】
Observe Su Cheng, now resembling the flower-seeking immortal lord of days past. The instant his pupils turned gold, the scene before his eyes transformed completely.
This power originated from another world. Su Cheng could have wielded it without the system, but now he could only purchase temporary access!
After all, he had already annihilated over a dozen Sacred Realms. Even half the celestial treasures and rare gems he'd obtained now far exceeded anything he'd ever dared dream of before!
Old Su here had never seen such wealth in eight lifetimes!
