Chapter 217: O
Chapter 217: O
Suddenly, with a loud “boom!”, the chest of the Heavenly Mystic Holy Lord caved in, blood spurted from his mouth, and his entire body was sent flying backward as if struck by an inexplicable force.
The purple jade token reappeared in Xu Lian’s hand, and a victorious smile spread across his face. Asking for help from his already “preordained wife” wasn’t something to be ashamed of, right?
“If you dare to bully me, I’ll call my wife to beat you to death…”
As this thought flashed through Xu Lian’s mind, his vision blurred and the world seemed to spin around him. The next moment, he found himself standing at the entrance of the Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land.
Immediately after that.
All the women from his household appeared beside him, each with a noticeable bulge in their bellies, showing clear signs of pregnancy.
Lin Bufeng, Fang Shaoze, Qin Liu, and the two sword disciples were also expelled from the Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land.
Everyone was stunned.
Including Xu Lian himself.
What was going on? Had they been expelled from the sect?
Silently, a figure dressed in a white robe, graceful and ethereal, appeared in the air. The entire night sky instantly turned into a crystalline white, as if it had solidified into one entity.
Xu Lian stared blankly at the figure in the night sky. Was this the true form of the White Fox?
“O, what is the meaning of this?”
From the thirty-third level of the Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land, an aged voice filled with anger echoed, its pressure overwhelming, causing the night sky to churn with thunder and lightning.
The figure in the night sky spoke, her voice like the sound of a clear spring flowing through a mountain stream, “Since the Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land cannot tolerate him, I will take him away.”
Xu Lian’s eyes flickered with curiosity. O, was that her name?
This voice was not the crisp, youthful tone of the Earth Flesh Avatar of the White Fox. Clearly, she had altered her voice when using the Avatar. This was her true voice, one that seemed to be capable of cleansing the soul.
At the same time, Xu Lian felt deeply moved. To protect him, the Goddess of Time seemed to have fallen out with the top figures of the Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land?
“Senior Sister, what are you doing? Is it worth it to betray the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands for someone unrelated to you?”
Suddenly, another voice rang out, melodious like a nightingale’s song. A dazzlingly beautiful woman, radiant as if glowing, appeared in the night sky, standing before the Goddess of Time like an immortal descending to the mortal realm.
Even the “Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River” would pale in comparison to her beauty.
Everyone was stunned. How could such a beautiful woman exist in the world?
The entire Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land was in an uproar.
“The Goddess of Nine Heavens, she is the Goddess of Nine Heavens!”
“This person named O must be the mysterious power that used the laws of time to protect Xu Lian. The Goddess of Nine Heavens calls her her senior sister? What is her status within the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands? Why have I never heard of her before? She said that the Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land cannot tolerate Xu Lian? What happened?”
The Goddess of Nine Heavens’ beautiful eyes were red, with tears glistening within them. Her incomparable face wore a pleading expression that could make anyone feel sorry for her. “Senior sister, are you willing to cast aside so many years of camaraderie for his sake?”
Xu Lian called out softly, “Are Elder Huo and the old clan leader here?” But there was no response from the emptiness… Obviously, the two “old foxes” knew that they couldn’t be of any help in the face of such a supreme power and had decided to hide.
This made Xu Lian’s expression darken. Those without power truly didn’t deserve to possess the laws of a divine realm. Although the Goddess of Time intended to protect him, how could he bear to let her sever ties with the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands for his sake?
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again. So what if it was the laws of a divine kingdom?
For others, it might be a path to greatness, but for him, it wasn’t a big deal. Because he could add points…
“Thank you, Goddess of Time, for your guidance and protection. Xu Lian is deeply grateful. However, I do not wish to cause a rift between you and your sect because of me. Since the Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land desires the laws of the Divine Kingdom so much, I will give it to them,”
Xu Lian bowed deeply toward the figure in the night sky, his voice sincere. “Once they take the laws of the Divine Kingdom from me, I will leave the Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land. There is a place for me in this vast world. The mountains may remain and the rivers may flow, but we will meet again.”
After saying this.
Xu Lian felt a sense of relief. He no longer had to bear the burden of the laws of the Divine Kingdom, and no powerful figures would covet him.
In order to gain something, one must first let go.
By relinquishing the laws of the divine kingdom, he could return to a peaceful life, raise his children, quietly add points, and then become invincible… That didn’t sound too bad.
“Shut up.”
The Goddess of Time spoke. “I am not leaving the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands for your sake. The real reason I am leaving has nothing to do with you. I am simply tired, tired of the power struggles among my fellow disciples.”
“…” Xu Lian’s expression froze, and he felt somewhat embarrassed. Had he been overthinking things?
The Goddess of Time bowed slightly towards the thirty-third level of the Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land. “Thank you, Master, for your teachings over the years, and to all my fellow disciples for your company. O will never forget. Today O has decided to leave the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands. I hope you will grant me this wish.”
From the thirty-third level of the Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land, the old voice roared angrily, “O, you are the most outstanding disciple of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands, the one with the highest achievements. The Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands cannot allow you to leave like this!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land fell into silence. This woman named O had achieved more than even the Goddess of Nine Heavens?
The voice of the Goddess of Time remained calm. “Since Master knows that I am the most accomplished disciple of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands, you should also understand that if I want to leave, no one can stop me. I don’t want to end my time here with bloodshed and conflict, tarnishing the camaraderie we’ve shared over the years.”
The aged voice from the thirty-third level seemed to lose all its strength, turning into a sigh. “This old master is no match for you and cannot stop you. I just hope you stay. After I pass away, the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands will need you to lead it. Consider this my plea, O.
As for this Xu Lian that you are protecting, he may also stay. I promise that no one will covet the laws of the Divine Kingdom in him.”
The Goddess of Time replied, “My heart is no longer in the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands. Master and my fellow disciples should understand this.
I have no interest in managing the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands, and I am not suited to be its leader.
My junior sister is talented, and her cultivation is not bad. She is the most suitable person to take over the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands.
Although I am leaving, if the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands are ever in danger in the future, I will intervene. That is all I have to say. Farewell.”
With a single step, she vanished from the world.
Xu Lian and the others felt the world spin around them, clearly having been “taken along” by her.
“Senior Sister!”
The Goddess of Nine Heavens called out, her voice choked with sobs, but she could not stop them.
On the thirty-third level of the Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land, in a mysterious, chaotic region, there was only silence. No one dared to intervene.
The atmosphere in the entire Heavenly Mystic Sacred Land was suffocating. This “O” was the most accomplished disciple of the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands, and even the sect’s supreme leader was no match for her. The departure of such an incomparable figure was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Nine Heavenly Sacred Lands.
