Chapter 18: I Can Embrace the Entire World

The Violet Mist Holy Land wasn’t too far from Luo City, merely a distance of a hundred li. In addition, Hua Lengyue’s contracted demonic beast was a Swift Falcon, known for its speed.

In less than an hour, Hua Lengyue arrived at the Violet Mist Holy Land.

Returning to the Violet Mist Holy Land, Hua Lengyue went straight to the Saintess Peak.

Because Hua Lengyue had a personal guard token for the Saintess Peak, the formation arrays of the Saintess Peak had no restrictions on her whatsoever. Her path was completely unimpeded.

Also because of the Senior’s words “don’t let anyone else see,” Hua Lengyue naturally avoided the gazes of all the handmaidens on the Saintess Peak.

Walking into Her Highness the Saintess’s boudoir, Hua Lengyue carefully took out the demonic sword’s scabbard and then put it down.

After doing everything, Hua Lengyue carefully withdrew, leaving no trace.

Leaving the Violet Mist Holy Land, Hua Lengyue’s cold little face carried the joy of a moon-velvet flower blooming. Although this task was very simple, it was the first task her Senior had given her.

She had completed it, and she was very happy.

With joy, Hua Lengyue wanted to rush back to Luo City to report the completion of her mission.

Will Senior praise me?
“Young Sect Master! What happened to you!”

“Young Sect Master! Why are you vomiting blood!”

“Young Sect Master!”

In the outskirts of Luo City, having barely escaped with his life, he was then chased down by a female sword cultivator of the Jade-Pu realm!

That sky full of purple sword qi was clearly from the Saintess of the Violet Mist Holy Land! Fortunately, this Young Sect Master of the Black Dragon Sect was carrying the sect’s supreme secret treasure and ran fast enough!

“Stop with the nonsense! Set up the Dragon Sound Array! I want to speak with the Sect Master!”

“Yes! Young Sect Master!”

Soon, the Dragon Sound Array was set up. On top of a formation array, an old man’s face appeared!

“My son! Who injured you so grievously?! What on earth happened?”

Seeing his only son’s wretched appearance, the Black Dragon Sect’s Master was deeply grieved!

“Replying to Father! Today, our elders were in Luo City…”

Long Shuo explained what had happened in the courtyard one by one. Half an incense stick’s time later, the Black Dragon Sect’s Master, Long Shigeng, was heard becoming even more furious!
“Outrageous! That villain dared to snatch my demonic sword’s scabbard! And destroy my son’s spiritual roots! This old man is furious! I’m about to lose my temper!

“Shuo’er, did that person’s techniques reveal which sect or school they came from? What was their approximate realm?”

“That woman did not use any sect techniques, she just casually waved her dagger. The main thing was a man secretly assisting her.

“And that man’s techniques are unknown. His realm is at least in the Upper Five Realms! However, your son also guesses that he is from the Violet Mist Holy Land! Because when your son was escaping, I was pursued by the Violet Mist Saintess!”

“Violet Mist Holy Land…” The old man fell into deep thought.

“This time, it was your son’s incompetence! We lost several elders. I ask for Father’s punishment!” Long Shuo knelt on one knee, the blood at the corner of his mouth not yet dry, looking rather heroic.

“It’s not your fault this time. I also didn’t expect that the Violet Mist Holy Land would notice our movements.

“But that’s fine too. Your father can breathe a sigh of relief.

“Shuo’er! You should focus on recuperating first! The plan to awaken the demonic sword will proceed as scheduled!”

“But Father, the demonic sword’s scabbard has already…”

“Hahaha.” In the formation array, Long Shigeng’s loud laughter was heard. “My son, do you know what other name the demonic sword has?”

Without waiting for Long Shuo to answer, Long Shigeng answered his own question:

“The demonic sword is also called the Black Dragon Sword! It was the demonic weapon of my Black Dragon Sect’s founding ancestor, laying the foundation for my Black Dragon Sect as one of the four great demonic sects! Without the scabbard, my sect can still awaken the demonic sword!

“And now, no matter who the other party is, they all think that my Black Dragon Sect has lost the scabbard and cannot awaken the demonic sword. They are all being careless! Little do they know! This is the feint that I, your father, have deployed!”

“What’s wrong? You seem distracted.”

After returning home and having lunch with his wife, Lin Xun saw his wife standing under the large banyan tree in the courtyard in a daze. He smiled and walked over, hugging his wife’s soft and fragrant body from behind.

Holding her husband’s large hand, Jiang Qingshang leaned into her husband’s embrace. “I just encountered a small puzzle, it’s nothing.”

She had indeed encountered a small puzzle.

After learning about the Black Dragon Sect’s gathering, Jiang Qingshang had already rushed over. Then she sensed the aura of the Black Dragon Sect’s techniques; someone was escaping with a magic treasure.

Jiang Qingshang had struck with all her might, but he still managed to escape!
Returning to that courtyard, apart from the traces of a fight, all that was left were a few corpses. Examining the wounds, it was impossible to tell what kind of immortal art had caused them.

This made Jiang Qingshang a little uncertain. She wasn’t sure who had fought with those people from the Black Dragon Sect.

Moreover, the realms of the several Black Dragon Sect elders were not low, at least Nascent Soul.

Even she would have to spend some time.

But after receiving the news, by the time she rushed over, in less than a total of one incense stick’s time, those people had been dealt with…

Who on earth was it? To have such strength?

“A puzzle? Do you need my help?”

While Jiang Qingshang was still in a daze, Lin Xun kissed his wife on the cheek.

In Lin Xun’s view, the matters his wife encountered were nothing more than some trivial affairs in Luo City.

“No need, I can handle it.” Jiang Qingshang snuggled in her husband’s arms and slowly closed her eyes. “You seem to be in a good mood. Did something happy happen?”

“Hehehe, to tell you the truth, I saved the world today.”

“Husband is a mere mortal, and you can save the world?”

Turning around in her husband’s arms, the young woman chuckled softly and gently tapped the space between his brows.

“Of course.”

Lin Xun was still proud.

I saved Luo City, and you are in Luo City. Isn’t that saving the entire world?

However, Lin Xun didn’t say it out loud. A hero, after all, leaves no name.

The young woman’s willow-like brows curved slightly, her large, sparkling eyes as gentle as water. She didn’t mind her husband’s chuunibyou tendencies. She pressed her cheek against her husband’s chest, extended her lotus-root-like arms to hug her husband, and remained silent.

The cool breeze of early autumn swept through the courtyard, gently lifting the hem of the young woman’s skirt.

Lin Xun’s nose was filled with the young woman’s faint, fresh fragrance. Yellowish leaves slowly drifted down, landing at their feet.

The young woman just kept hugging Lin Xun like this, not letting go, not speaking… as if she wanted to keep hugging him like this, forever.

Lin Xun blinked, stroking the ends of his wife’s hair, somewhat puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

“Didn’t you save the entire world?”

The young woman said playfully.

“I don’t have as much ability as my husband.

“But.

“I can embrace the entire world.”
