Chapter 524: Chapter 524
Qingdai glared at Nan Xian for a while before rolling her eyes dramatically.
"You are just jealous!"
"What do I have to be jealous of?"
A rare look of disdain appeared on Nan Xian’s face.
Him, jealous of Chu Yan? Impossible!
"You’re jealous because he is more handsome than you are!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Xian’s face darkened instantly, and he turned to leave.
Qingdai realized he was actually angry and quickly followed him.
"Why are you getting angry? Can’t someone even speak the truth?"
Nan Xian covered her mouth with his hand to prevent her from chattering about things he didn’t want to hear.
When they came out, Chu Yan saw them and wanted to approach Nan Xian to discuss something about Qin Zhao.
But as soon as Nan Xian saw Chu Yan, he dragged Qingdai away as if he had seen some terrifying flood beast.
"Master, Zhaozhao recently..."
"Master? What master? Who is your master!"
Nan Xian retorted irritably, wishing he could stab Chu Yan with a sword.
It was just killing a Demon Beast, what was so great about that?
Just as the two were about to leave the Barrier of Red Mountain Town, suddenly the ground shook violently, and the dead Abnormal Beast Zheng was enveloped in a strange, red glow.
The flesh of the beast began slowly falling away, transforming into a huge Golden Bone.
"What’s happening? Its aura is getting stronger."
Both Chu Yan and Nan Xian’s faces changed.
"Golden Bone." Nan Xian muttered incredulously, "This is the Zheng of the Immortal Realm, not some common mutant beast!"
The Zheng of the Immortal Realm was one of the Immortal Beasts,
While the Zheng of the Cultivation World was just a normal Demon Beast.
A powerful Immortal Beast appearing in the Mortal World could bring about the end of the world.
The red glow grew brighter, as if the entire world were forged in blood.
Chu Yan and Nan Xian didn’t have the time to think about why the Immortal Beast was here; they prepared to join forces to combat it.
No matter the cost, they had to eliminate this Immortal Beast; otherwise, their world would be destroyed.
"Look over there! What is that?"
Suddenly, Qingdai’s voice rang out.
In the cloud-filled sky, something split the dark clouds in two, and bright golden light poured in, dispersing the oppressive and violent aura brought by the blood light.
A majestic voice accompanied by immense pressure.
Merely a single scolding caused the Immortal Beast, which had been ready to destroy the world, to crouch frightfully on the ground.
The golden light, like guidance from a deity, descended upon the Golden Bone beast.
In the next second, an unexpected change occurred.
A figure in armor appeared above the Immortal Beast, blocking the celestial technique of the person in the sky.
"Cheng Wu, you were once the War God of the Immortal Court. If it weren’t for your error, my lord would not have imprisoned you in the Netherworld. Now you release an Immortal Beast to the Mortal Realm, do you wish to create chaos in all realms?"
"You, as an Emperor, are the misfortune of all realms. You know best how you got your throne! Now that I have escaped the Netherworld, I intend to... set things right!"
Following that, a blinding white light covered their vision.
Everyone lost consciousness.
It was a long time before they woke up. By the time they did, Red Mountain Town had returned to peace.
Even the great fissure created by the beast’s appearance had been repaired.
It was as though nothing had happened.
When Chu Yan woke up, he found Qingdai lying in his arms and quickly pushed her away.
Recalling the conversation between the two men just now, it must have been the Immortal Emperor who had intervened. The one named Cheng Wu was the Abyss Golden Bone released by Chu Yan.
Cheng Wu had been a War God in the Immortal Realm, establishing countless military exploits, but ultimately ended up eternally imprisoned.
His heart was naturally filled with unwillingness, so after returning to the Immortal Realm, he frequently caused disturbances.
However, Chu Yan hadn’t expected that this time, the Abnormal Beast Zheng was released by him into this world.
"Your Highness, the Netherworld Emperor urgently summons you! He asks that you return immediately!"
Black and White Impermanence found Chu Yan, looking anxious.
Chu Yan guessed that the Netherworld Emperor knew about the Immortal Beast disturbing the Mortal World and the Immortal Emperor taking action, which he also had some responsibility for, so he quickly rushed to the underworld.
After he left, Nan Xian and Qing Dai finally woke up.
"I just now, thought I heard my father’s voice."
Qing Dai rubbed her brow, looking confusedly at Nan Xian.
"Did someone claim to be me, and another person called Cheng Wu, who is he?"
Qing Dai looked at Nan Xian with disdain, "He was the former War God, very famous in the Immortal Realm! Didn’t you ascend long ago? How do you not know?"
Nan Xian indeed did not know.
Because after his ascension, he still disliked socializing.
He was devoted to cultivation, oblivious to the outside world.
"Oh no! You’re not fooling me, are you? Saying that this is your clone when in fact, this is your true cultivation level! I’ve caught you now!"
Seeing her eyes sparkling, Nan Xian said, "Yes, I was fooling you. I’m just an ordinary cultivator, not fit to associate with Princess Qingdai."
"Why would you say that? When I play with others, I do not look at their cultivation!"
Qing Dai patted his shoulder, "So don’t feel inferior, we’re still good friends."
Nan Xian smiled, "Then I truly thank you."
".... "Dumb as a pig!
Nan Xian cursed in his heart, silently got up, and walked away.
"Handsome Nan Xian, wait for me!"
Qing Dai chased after him giddily, and he unconsciously slowed his pace.
Chu Yan was summoned to the underworld, but before going, he still informed Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao didn’t have much of a reaction, considering he always had to go back to deal with affairs.
But after Chu Yan left, an uninvited guest arrived at his home.
The sound of the doorbell rang, and Qin Zhao opened the door.
Seeing Luo Han outside, Qin Zhao’s expression was guarded.
Thinking of the last incident, she did not want to interact with him and was about to close the door.
"Wait, I have something to say to you."
"I think there is nothing left to discuss between us."
Qin Zhao sneered, unmoved.
There was an Array set up by Chu Yan in the house; if Qin Zhao didn’t want to let him in, Luo Han couldn’t enter.
Just as the door was about to be shut, Luo Han said with a laugh, "This matter involves Chu Yan, and you probably don’t know much about your husband, do you?"
Qin Zhao paused in closing the door, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"You must be aware of his connections with the underworld. But you might not know that he also has a fiancée."
Luo Han saw Qin Zhao reopen the door, his eyes slightly deep.
He still looked youthful, with handsome features and a strong exotic aura.
A slight smile always played around his lips, giving him a somewhat flirtatious and unrestrained air.
"Sister, won’t you invite me in for a cup of tea?"
Luo Han stood at the doorway with his hands behind his back, his wrists moving slightly to produce a few tinkling sounds from the Silver Bell.
"There’s no need to go inside, just say it here. "
He sighed, "Sister is really heartless, not even offering a cup of tea. Why should I tell you such important information?"
