Chapter 164

Chapter 164: It’s Over, My Master Has Set Her Eyes on Chen Dailu!

“I’ve tried, it’s not going to work.”

Chen Ansheng shook his head.

Lin Xian, a practitioner of Celestial Immortal Realm techniques, has a powerful Natal Soul capable of resisting the invasion of laws. Even now, when heavily injured and on the brink of death, Chen Ansheng’s puppet mark cannot do anything to him.

“Then let’s cut the roots and kill him!”

Zhong Li exclaimed, preparing to condense her sword to eliminate his celestial soul.

Chen Ansheng stopped her, saying, “This guy has a lot of peculiar techniques. Do you have a method to extract his memories? It would not be too late to kill him after I get his techniques.”

Zhong Li replied, “Are you referring to the Soul Search Technique?”

Chen Ansheng nodded, “Yes!”

Zhong Li scoffed, “You are too greedy; something bad will surely come of it. I don’t have the ability to master the Soul Search Technique, but my Master does have similar methods. First, restrain him. If you see my Master, you can ask her for help.”

Chen Ansheng waved his hands repeatedly, “Forget it, forget it. I’m not blessed enough to meet your Master, let’s not mention it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li looked ahead and said, “You’re just afraid. Why talk about blessings? Look, isn’t she coming?”

Chen Ansheng quickly turned his head, only to see a purple light weaving through the Celestial Immortal battlefield. “That purple light is your Master? So, does this mean we’re saved?”

“Not necessarily; let’s see how that Immortal King fares in the end!”

Zhong Li replied, directing her gaze to the other side of the void, where a much more terrifying battle was ongoing compared to the Celestial Immortal battlefield.

If that Immortal King were to emerge victorious, surviving might be quite difficult.

“How about we take the opportunity and run?”

Chen Ansheng felt a faint connection with the alien immortal, sensing that the alien was struggling and could fall at any moment.

“Run my foot! The Xuan Yang Immortal Mansion has already activated supreme restrictions to seal this place. Until a victor is determined, no one will be able to leave!” Zhong Li exclaimed.

“…”

With no options left, they could only leave their fate to chance; the dimensional stone must be saved for a critical moment.

After another fifteen minutes, the tremors from the Celestial Immortal battlefield gradually weakened.

Chen Ansheng quickly projected his celestial sense to check the situation.

In the undulating void, a cloaked woman in a purple dress stood tall.

Around her floated countless corpses of celestial beings, and several Celestials were severely injured, almost collapsing in the air.

“So strong, even Ji Guiyi has been badly beaten!”

Chen Ansheng deliberately checked Ji Guiyi and found that his arms had been broken, with a handprint penetrating his chest—an utterly tragic sight!

However, Zhong Li did not seem relieved and said, “Those people are merely minions to my Master. The real experts of the Xuan Yang Immortal Mansion have yet to join the battle, so the outcome is still uncertain!”

Chen Ansheng’s expression turned stern, “Are there other powerful experts? Who are they?”

Zhong Li responded, “Haven’t you noticed? The entire Xuan Yang Immortal Mansion has been led by Lin Xian, but the Mansion Lord has yet to show himself?”

Now Chen Ansheng understood, indeed as Zhong Li had said, so he asked, “Right, where is the Mansion Lord of the Xuan Yang Immortal Mansion? Do you know what realm he’s in, Senior Sister?”

Zhong Li solemnly said, “According to my Master, the Mansion Lord of the Xuan Yang Immortal Mansion has been in secluded meditation for nearly ten thousand years, striving to reach the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm. In this battle, he will have to emerge from his retreat, but I don’t know if he has succeeded in breaking through.”

Chen Ansheng said uneasily, “Then there’s no hope. We might as well wait to die.”

Putting aside how the Immortal King would end, just waiting for the Mansion Lord to emerge from his retreat should mean he is at least in the late Celestial Immortal stage, possibly even at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm. With this space sealed off, how could they survive?

“Lil’ Li, you and that young man in white, come here.”

At that moment, Zhong Li received a transmission from her Master, Saintess Ziyun.

Without hesitation, Zhong Li grabbed Chen Ansheng’s arm and flew toward the other side of the void.

“What are you doing?”

To be honest, Chen Ansheng felt a natural fear toward Zhong Li’s Master.

There was no other reason; the Demoness’ master must be a big Demoness, after all.

“When you see my Master, be respectful and say less!” Zhong Li reminded seriously while flying.

Chen Ansheng nodded, thinking, “Well, I have to rely on the big Demoness for a chance at survival. Let’s go.”

After flying for a while, the two landed in front of Saintess Ziyun.

It was clear that Zhong Li looked a bit nervous as she introduced, “Master, this person is named Chen Ansheng, a fellow practitioner. My disciple has had much of the credit in this mission because of him.”

Saintess Ziyun replied, “Lil’ Li, that Immortal King has awakened. Your mission is not completed; how can there be credit?”

Zhong Li’s expression froze, and she became stiff.

After a while, she stammered, “Disciples know their mistakes; please punish me, Master. However, even if Chen Ansheng doesn’t have merit, he has helped me…”

“That’s enough.”

Saintess Ziyun interrupted Zhong Li and turned to look at Chen Ansheng.

Chen Ansheng secretly glanced at Saintess Ziyun. From her figure and appearance, she seemed to be similar to Zhong Li, but she wore a veil and had purple mist swirling around in front of her, obscuring her face.

“Chen Ansheng, I’ve heard of you.”

Chen Ansheng quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and cupped his hands, silently thinking that women like to hear sweet words; calling her “immortal maiden” should not offend this one.

Unbeknownst to him, this touched on Saintess Ziyun’s taboo.

“Fool! Who told you to call her that? My Master hates it when others call her ‘immortal maiden’; you must call her ‘Saintess’!”

As soon as Chen Ansheng finished speaking, Zhong Li urgently transmitted her voice.

Chen Ansheng rolled his eyes at her, responding, “Why didn’t you wait until she killed me to say that!”

Zhong Li regretted not reminding Chen Ansheng earlier. Now it was too late; they could only hope to kneel and beg for her Master’s forgiveness.

But the next moment, something unexpected happened.

“Hehe.” Saintess Ziyun actually let out a delicate laugh, then said, “This young man Chen not only possesses a celestial demeanor and extraordinary bearing, but his words are also pleasing. I am over ninety thousand years old; how can I deserve such a title of ‘immortal maiden’?”

Upon hearing this, both Zhong Li and Chen Ansheng were bewildered.

Especially Zhong Li, she never expected that Chen Dailu, having offended her Master, would not only face her wrath but provoke her unusual courtesy instead.

“Ah, could it be…”

After a brief silence, Zhong Li thought of something that sent chills down her spine.

So, she transmitted to Chen Ansheng, “It’s over, Dailu; you might have caught my Master’s eye and might become her plaything.”

Chen Ansheng felt a sudden tension in his scalp and couldn’t help but shiver, “Wh-what do you mean?”

Zhong Li helplessly responded, “My Master is rather… quite frivolous, so you know what that means…”

Chen Ansheng felt a jolt!

There’s this kind of… good or bad situation?

It’s bad, definitely bad! This young body of mine can’t handle being toyed with by an old hag!

“Young man Chen, I have some words I want to talk to you about privately. When I set up a barrier, don’t panic.”

Seeing Chen Ansheng dazed, Saintess Ziyun waved her hand, preparing to cast a restriction to create an independent space for convenience.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li felt everything go wrong; she quickly knelt down and pleaded, “Master, please don’t… Chen Ansheng, he, he is already my disciple partner!”
