Have those self-proclaimed righteous giants who spout benevolence and morality been wasting their lives all these years?

Seeing yet another terrifying behemoth awaken, lock onto him, and attempt to obstruct his path, Bai Wu cursed inwardly, blaming the cultivators of the prestigious sects such as Qingyun Sect, Buddhism, and Taoism for their incompetence in filling the high heavens with so many difficulties and dangers.

He gritted his teeth in anger, watching Ye Jinglan fly further and further away. He steeled his heart and made up his mind.

Yun Chu'an can be spared for now; this man can be handed over to the King of Qin to deal with.

But if Ye Jinglan isn't caught today, and her "Raging Storm Steps" isn't extracted from her, then all the work I've done today will have been for nothing!

She'll definitely be more vigilant next time, and once her cultivation level is higher, it will only be harder for me to take advantage of her!

So today, I can give up everything, but I must catch her!

With this thought in mind, he made up his mind. Looking at the enormous creature rushing towards him, he had no intention of fighting it.

Just kidding, this thing is so huge and looks so hard, how could it possibly be dealt with in a short time?

By the time I finish fighting this guy, Ye Jinglan will probably have already disappeared somewhere!

He bypassed the behemoth and sped forward. The massive obsidian giant suddenly accelerated and swung its fist at his back. Bai Wu'an gritted his teeth and, instead of dodging, simply defended. When the giant's powerful blow struck his back, Bai Wu'an coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood.

However, his body also accelerated suddenly, rushing forward and in the blink of an eye, he shortened the distance between himself and Ye Jinglan by half!

Even at the cost of serious injury, he would bring this woman back. A raging fire burned within him as he glared at Ye Jinglan, who was almost within reach, and roared, "Stop—!"

He suddenly flicked his sleeve, unleashing a raging storm of spiritual energy. Ahead, Ye Jinglan felt an immense pulling force engulfing her body, about to drag her back.

Her heart pounded, knowing she couldn't dodge, so she turned around abruptly, switching her weapons back to a scimitar and a double-edged battle axe, and with a shout, slashed head-on at Bai Wu'an's body!

Bai Wu'an sneered, overjoyed, thinking that he could finally win her over this time. But before he could even rejoice for a second, a thousand-meter-tall thunder giant suddenly appeared in the distance.

It is a place of peace and tranquility.

Golden lightning gathered and intertwined on his body, instantly expanding to nearly a thousand meters in height. The divine lightning formed a set of golden armor on his body, making the giant look like a general, a fully armed terracotta warrior, ready to fight!

"Prepare to die—!"

He held a terrifying Guan Dao in his hand, bent down, and the blade slashed towards Bai Wu'an's body!

This attack, though seemingly earth-shattering, was actually far less efficient in killing an enemy of Bai Wu'an's size than the Dragon Clan's secret technique "Three Thousand Spring Suns," which was extremely fast and could kill in one strike.

However, the effect he wanted at this moment was to create a huge commotion to attract everyone's attention and make them notice that Bai Wu'an, the Nascent Soul Pillar of the Qin Kingdom, was bullying the weak and killing two Golden Core cultivators!

"roll--!"

Bai Wu'an roared, and the aura emanating from the thunder giant startled him. It wasn't because his defense was insufficient, but because he was already seriously injured at this moment!

He swung his sword backhand, and the soaring sword energy directly split the thousand-meter-tall thunder giant in two!

Yun Chu'an, standing in the center of the thunder giant, felt a chill run straight to the top of his head; death was imminent. Without any hesitation—his intention had never been to kill Bai Wu'an with this attack—he immediately chanted an incantation, causing the thousand-meter-tall thunder giant to self-destruct—"You Lin Zai Lin think about it, you Lin Zai Zai, are you even here…"

boom--

The terrifying power of thunder spread out, the resistance in the high sky weakened, and boundless lightning surged out, instantly covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles around. As for the lightning it emitted, it traveled tens of thousands of miles away in an instant. Even on the surface world thousands of miles below, countless people witnessed the amazing lightning!

"Well--!"

However, at the center of the explosion, Yun Chu'an himself let out a painful cry. Although the Thunder Giant's self-destruction caused a tremendous commotion, it did little to weaken Bai Wu'an's condensed sword energy. That sword energy pierced vertically through his body—

In an instant, he felt as if his body was being torn apart from the middle, and the golden core in his dantian was trembling, almost shattering.

The threat of death loomed over his soul, bringing him to the brink of annihilation. But in that critical moment, the purple-gold soft armor once gifted to him by the Dragon Prince of the Wei River emitted a dazzling light—

A terrifying crack appeared on the surface of the armor, but in that instant, the power of the sword energy was completely exhausted.

Yun Chu'an's body was blasted backward by the sword energy, retreating tens of thousands of meters and crashing into a huge meteorite with a diameter of nearly a thousand meters before finally coming to a stop.

He felt as if every bone in his body had fallen apart, and a sense of relief at surviving a calamity welled up inside him. When he opened his eyes again and looked at the battlefield ahead, he saw that Bai Wu'an had lost a finger!

Just as Bai Wu'an turned and swung her sword at Yun Chu'an, she was momentarily distracted. And she seized that opportunity, which might have been less than a tenth of a second!

She immediately flipped over, wielding her double-edged battle axe and scimitar. The axe broke through Bai Wu'an's spell to imprison her with his sleeve, and with a slash of the scimitar, she actually cut off his index finger!

Bai Wu'an's fingers bled profusely from the excruciating pain, while Ye Jinglan took the opportunity to leap backward, looking at the man in front of her with a wild grin.

“Bai Wu’an,” she mocked, “I feel like you’re even weaker than my grandmother said.”

"Grandma couldn't kill you back then, but today, can he and I... do it?"

As she spoke, she blinked her large eyes, seemingly playful, but the sarcasm was quite obvious: "So, Bai Wu'an, how about it? Give me a chance?"

These sarcastic remarks instantly ignited Bai Wu'an's boundless rage.

In reality, for cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, reshaping their physical bodies is much easier, and losing fingers or limbs is a very common occurrence in their battles.

However, standing opposite him now was a Golden Core cultivator, and the descendant of an enemy who had once defeated him!

To have one's finger severed across borders and then mocked in this way is an absolutely unacceptable and humiliating disgrace for a Nascent Soul cultivator!

A strong killing intent filled Bai Wu'an's chest, making him unable to tolerate the woman in front of him any longer.

"You're courting death," he whispered, determined that even if it meant cutting off her head first and then controlling her golden core to slowly revive her body, he would first unleash his boundless killing intent today.

Ye Jinglan leaped into the air. She knew that she could no longer distance herself from him; the moment had come when she had no choice but to fight to the death.

In the distance, Yun Chu'an transformed into lightning and sped towards her. Even though he knew that this attack was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, he was determined to fight to the death to save his elder sister's life.

Nearby, the massive obsidian giant roared as it charged, intending to crush Bai Wu'an into pieces.

Bai Wu'an no longer cared about any of this. The blood seeping from his fingers dripped onto the blade of his sword, causing it to ignite with intense and powerful spiritual energy.

He was no longer thinking about anything else; he only wanted to use a single, overwhelming attack to kill both of them.

However, at that moment, a female voice suddenly rang out. To Yun Chu'an, the voice was like heavenly music: "Fellow Daoist Bai, what are you doing?!"

Chapter 667 Reunion with Nangong Wan

It's Nangong Wan's voice!

Yun Chu'an's eyes widened suddenly, and then he realized that time seemed to have stopped in this space.

They, Ye Jinglan in the distance, and Bai Wu'an, who was about to chop off their heads with his sword, were all frozen in place, unable to move.

Even though he was enveloped in blazing golden lightning and his Guan Dao was wielding an unparalleled aura as he was about to slash at Bai Wu'an, he simply couldn't move!

Not far away, a woman dressed in a sharp black and white sword outfit that accentuated her curvaceous and voluptuous figure was walking gracefully on clouds.

Her long, jet-black hair was piled on top of her head, and her eyes shone with a clear, pure light, without a trace of impurity. Her stunningly beautiful face remained as it was in her most youthful and beautiful state, without any signs of the passage of time.

She didn't rush to figure out what the three of them were doing. Instead, she drew her sword from her waist and unleashed several flashes of sword light. (The last two lines are a series of seemingly unrelated characters and are omitted from the translation.)

A blinding light flashed by, and then the obsidian giant, which Ye Jinglan had managed to carve only a few small pits into with all her might, was immediately dismantled into countless small pieces, no longer posing any threat.

She was originally the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, the leader of the most powerful righteous force in the Central Plains, and her strength was extraordinary. Not to mention, there was also the suppression of the Heaven-Protecting Array here, making these demons weaker than the rest.

Thus, this extraterrestrial demon, who was clearly close to having reached the Nascent Soul stage, was easily killed on the spot by her two sword strikes.

After dealing with the largest demon, Nangong Wan turned around. She glanced at Yun Chu'an with surprise, never expecting to encounter her disciple's beloved man here.

Looking at this battle, which was clearly a case of the strong bullying the weak, she frowned slightly and said with some displeasure, "Fellow Daoist Bai, what are you doing?"

She asked this question, trying to put on a serious expression, but she really couldn't remember the other person's name, so she could only address him as "fellow Daoist".

She pretended not to know Yun Chuan and didn't rush to talk to him, instead focusing her gaze on the Nascent Soul cultivator.

But Yun Chuan didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, he was overjoyed. He turned his gaze slightly and met Ye Jinglan's eyes in the distance. He saw that the girl was also looking in his direction at that moment. They met eyes and both noticed the joy in each other's eyes.

For a moment, Ye Jinglan felt her heart melting.

Over there, Bai Wu'an gripped his sword, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead. He, too, was unable to move, even though his cultivation was already at its peak in the Nascent Soul stage, and he was perhaps only one step away from breaking through.

However, under Nangong Wan's boundless magical power, not even a single little finger of his could tremble.

“Senior, I…” He struggled to answer, his throat moving, “This is my internal affair in Qin… This ghost butterfly is an evil spirit and an enemy of Qin, and this man is her accomplice, so… I am arresting them.”

Nangong Wan glanced at Yun Chu'an, whose expression was obedient, waiting for her orders. However, the woman still didn't speak to him, but said, "I know the person you're talking about. Back then, Huang Mang Diao San was enlightened by an evil monk and committed all sorts of evil deeds. It was he and my disciple Yan Shui who worked together to take him down."

"Not to mention last year, in Sheng Xuanren's secret realm, evil cultivators destroyed the seal, leading to a large-scale invasion of extraterrestrial demons. It was he and Yan Shui who took the lead in fighting against the demons and ensuring that their pollution would not invade the Central Plains."

She spoke softly, each word causing cold sweat to pour down Bai Wu'an's forehead: "And now, you're telling me that the reason you're chasing him is because he's colluding with some evil demon cultivator? Fellow Daoist Bai, tell me in detail, what exactly is going on!"

As she spoke, her tone gradually became stern: "Answer me, look me in the eyes!"

Bai Wu'an's heart was in his throat. He cursed inwardly. Who would have thought that Yun Chu'an, a seemingly lowly cultivator from a small country, would actually know such an important figure as Nangong Wan, and that the other party even knew about his deeds!

He cursed and swore inwardly, his brain working up a furious rage, but he couldn't find a reasonable excuse for his bullying and killing of the weak!

Nangong Wan knew what he was up to. Disappointed, she didn't wait for him to come up with any reason. She quickly changed the subject, saying, "I know that when you countries annex and wage war against each other, you always make up some excuse about the other side violating humanity or the Zhou rituals. I don't care about your petty squabbles, but, Fellow Daoist Bai..."

Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "You are the 'Pillar of State' of Qin, right?"

A bad feeling rose in Bai Wu'an's heart: "What... is it?"

Nangong Wan said softly, "When the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, the emperor ordered that all cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage who held titles in the various vassal states had the obligation to regularly come to this protective array to cleanse the evil spirits and maintain the purity of this place."

"However, Fellow Daoist Bai, tell me, how many years has it been since the Qin Kingdom fulfilled this obligation?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Wu'an's face turned ashen: "Senior Nangong, it's not just my Qin state that's been delayed by various important matters; other vassal states haven't been fulfilling their obligations either!"

The desperate struggle for power while delaying one's obligations was commonplace in all the major states. When the Zhou emperor was at his peak, he could still govern effectively, but now the emperor was weak, the major states were growing stronger, and ambitious states like the King of Qin were beginning to invade and annex other countries.

Naturally, major powers tend to delay things that involve labor and effort but offer no direct benefit to themselves, and may even result in other countries taking advantage of them while they are fulfilling their obligations.

The Qin state was no exception. In fact, because of its long history, numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, and the strongest ambition for invasion, the Qin state owed the most unfulfilled obligations, which had long been a source of dissatisfaction among righteous cultivators, represented by Nangong Wan.

At that moment, her eyes flashed with murderous intent as she stared at the man and whispered, "I don't care. You've come all this way today, so don't even think about leaving until you've paid off the debt to the Qin Kingdom."

Bai Wu'an's expression changed drastically: "So many obligations owed by the Qin state to the multi-talented pillar state, and I'm supposed to repay them all by myself?!"

Nangong Wan also realized that this request was a bit too much, even for a Nascent Soul cultivator. Then she said, "Oh, that's not necessary. Just fulfill the part that you should have fulfilled but have been owing. I think that... it would probably only take you thirty years to fight the demons in the heavens to complete it."

Bai Wu'an's face turned deathly pale. This was a crucial moment in the war between Qin and Zhao, and he was the most important figure in Qin after the King of Qin. Was he really to suddenly disappear at this time and serve thirty years of forced labor cleaning out evil spirits on this protective array?

Good heavens, if he really does that, the King of Qin will definitely kill him!

Seeing Bai Wu'an's pale face, Nangong Wan frowned slightly and continued, "You don't need to worry too much. Your spiritual energy depletion will be provided by the seniors of the Dao Sect, all of which are high-grade spirit stones. Moreover, I think you are about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, right? Perhaps with some guidance from the seniors, you can break through directly in thirty years."

She painted a rosy picture, making it sound so easy, but everyone knows just how difficult such a thing truly is.

Bai Wu'an looked grief-stricken, but now that Nangong Wan was in the right and had the power, he truly had no room to resist.

He couldn't help but roar in his heart. This sneak attack should have been a brilliant move that killed two birds with one stone, but how did it end up like this?

Chapter 668 Embracing and Kissing

"Alright, stop thinking about anything else and just focus on your service here. As for you..."

Nangong Wan didn't care what Bai Wu'an was feeling. She turned to look at Yun Chu'an and Ye Jinglan, and waved her sleeve: "This battlefield is not a place for you. Go back to where you belong."

Before the words were finished, a gentle spiritual energy swept over them, enveloping Yun Chu'an and Ye Jinglan respectively. The restless energy within the latter gradually calmed down, and then their bodies slowly descended, landing on the ground below.

Throughout the entire process, Nangong Wan did not ask the two of them anything, yet she quietly arranged everything for them.

Yun Chu'an's body slowly descended, and his movements regained their freedom. He didn't feel any weightlessness, yet his descent was not slow at all. In just a few breaths, he had fallen a thousand miles, and the mountains, rivers, and vast land below were already close at hand.

He gradually adjusted his position and changed his posture, while also slowing down his descent to avoid actually hitting the ground and being smashed to pieces.

He turned his head and looked into the distance, where Ye Jinglan was also adjusting her posture and slowly descending.

Her face still showed disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that she had really escaped alive.

Until she turned her head and met Yun Chu'an's eyes, seeing the same clear-headedness in his eyes as if he had survived a disaster, she suddenly realized that she had also regained consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable surge of joy welled up in her chest!

"Haha, Chu'an—!"

She shouted loudly and suddenly rode the wind, pulling Yun Chu'an into her arms. Yun Chu'an was completely unprepared. After being embraced, she wrapped her arms around her as well, a radiant smile spreading across her face.

Despite numerous risks and difficulties along the way, they ultimately won!

They won the battle, escaped death from Bai Wu'an, and returned safely to the land.

As for that guy, Nangong Wan has already taken care of him and sent him to do hard labor in the sky!

The thought of Bai Wu'an, who had just been so arrogant, now looking pale with anger but not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal filled the two of them with uncontrollable pleasure.

Ye Jinglan's body trembled violently, her heart pounding with the joy of surviving the ordeal. At the same time, through her thin clothes, she could hear Yun Chu'an's rapid heartbeat.

The heartbeat was heavy and powerful, surging and passionate. Each beat seemed to strike her nerves and her heart, making her even more excited. She didn't know how to release the surging emotions in her heart.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but overwhelmed with emotion, she didn't even know how to begin.

In that split second of hesitation, the two, who were embracing each other, fell into a large lake.

wow——
