Chapter 108: Chen Daoxuan's Descent – Do You Wish to Share Our Fate, Senior?

Upon hearing her junior sister's words, Leng Yanran chuckled softly. Only through several perilous encounters did she grasp the true weight behind the phrase her master often spoke – "With master supporting us, there's no need to worry."

Li Yourong, still a novice, lacked a comprehensive understanding of the unparalleled existence their master truly was.

"Junior, are you implying… Hiss… Senior Chen has arrived in the Eastern Domain!?"

As Leng Yanran's words reached Great Elder, his initial bewilderment was swiftly replaced by a sharp intake of breath. If Senior Chen had truly come to the Eastern Domain, then the situation before them might be truly irrevocable!

"Eh? Has Master also arrived? Master, where are you? Are you playing hide-and-seek with Yourong?"

Li Yourong, in response to Great Elder's words, blinked and scanned her surroundings, hoping to catch a glimpse of her master's whereabouts.

"Brother, if a Void Refining Realm expert has descended, perhaps it's best for our Holy Mountain not to intervene…"

Beside them, the Second Elder grew increasingly anxious upon hearing the discussion. While it was true that Holy Mountain had powerful connections in the Central Region, distant aid could hardly quell an imminent threat. If a Void Refining Realm expert emerged in the Eastern Domain, Holy Mountain might be defenseless.

"Playing tricks, are you?! Even if it's the Void Refining Realm, what does it matter? When the spiritual vein detonates, all within a hundred miles will turn to ashes. Even the Void Refining Realm can't withstand that!

"Suppose you retreat now. My Ren Family is willing to offer a satisfactory price. There's no need for further senseless conflict, is there?"

The Ren Family's patriarch was taken aback upon learning that Leng Yanran's master was a Void Refining Realm expert. It made sense why they were so audacious – with such a formidable master behind them.

"You've misunderstood. With our master's status, why would they casually venture into the Eastern Domain? However, it matters little."

Upon hearing the others' words, Leng Yanran remained expressionless. With all eyes upon her, she slowly raised the God Slaying Spear. Yet, the onlookers found themselves baffled.

"This… What is she doing?"

As Great Elder observed Leng Yanran's actions, he instinctively reached out as if to intervene.

"Senior Sister, what are you doing? Senior Sister, don't act rashly!"

Li Yourong hurriedly reached out to restrain her senior sister.

Because… this time, when the God Slaying Spear was raised, it wasn't aimed at the Ren Family. Leng Yanran pointed the spearhead directly at her own heart.

"Fear not, you'll understand in a moment."

Leng Yanran smiled at her junior sister, facing the intensely sharp and sinister aura-emitting God Slaying Spear. Astonishingly, she didn't defend herself at all. Instead, she ruthlessly thrust the spear towards her own heart!

Devoid of any tension, remarkably safe, in fact… There was nothing safer in the world than confronting death.

After all…

"Boom—"

A surge of spiritual energy swept through the entire venue, causing Great Elder and the Second Elder, both of whom were in the Boundless Realm, to stagger unsteadily.

Only Li Yourong and Leng Yanran remained unaffected.

Meanwhile, a figure materialized before Leng Yanran, enfolding her in an embrace. The God Slaying Spear didn't impale Leng Yanran's heart; rather, it struck Chen Daoxuan in the back…

"Let me, Chen Daoxuan, take a good look. Who dares to be so audacious as to lay a hand on my disciple? Such... boldness? Hmm? The God Slaying Spear? Hmm... Wait a moment, what's going on?"

Chen Daoxuan had just descended and frowned deeply. He was, naturally, somewhat irate as he had come due to the warning of his disciple's impending danger.

Yet, upon closer perception, he realized that the God Slaying Spear was impaled in his own back?

"Master… Yanran wasn't really in danger. It's just… I missed Master…"

Yanran's face flushed, and she quickly retracted the God Slaying Spear, whispering softly in her master's embrace.

"Wha...?"

Chen Daoxuan's mind felt like it was spinning for a moment.

"Senior Sister wasn't lying to me. It seems just doing this lets me see Master, huh! Master, Master, Your Disciple Your Disciple wants a hug too!"

Li Yourong was initially lost in thought, then excitedly rushed forward, finding a spot on her master's chest. She had been wondering if her senior sister had gone mad earlier, only to discover that this was the secret technique to summon their master!

"Heaven"

Chen Daoxuan held his two disciples in his arms, remaining silent for a while before finally using a single word to describe his current feelings.

The Great Elder and Second Elder of the Holy Mountain were also thoroughly startled. They had assumed that Leng Yanran's extremeness meant she intended to end her life here and have her master avenge her. Little did they expect that her master could truly descend upon this place!

Could… this truly be something attainable in the Void Refining Realm?

"We pay respects to Senior Chen!"

The Great Elder and Second Elder exchanged a glance, then quickly bowed to Chen Daoxuan.

"Have they mistreated you two?"

Chen Daoxuan paid no heed to the two men and first inquired about his disciples in his arms.

After confirming that the Holy Mountain duo hadn't mistreated his disciples, Chen Daoxuan nodded slightly at them, indicating they could rise.

During this waiting period, cold sweat had already begun to bead on Great Elder's forehead. Second Elder was still somewhat puzzled about why his elder brother was so tense.

However, only Great Elder understood that this Senior Chen before them was far more ruthless than his disciples.

Ren Family was finished, absolutely finished!

A moment later, Chen Daoxuan learned the details of the situation from Leng Yanran.

"Master, from now on, if Your Disciple wants to see you, I can do it like Senior Sister and see you!"

Li Yourong suddenly became excited, thinking of something.

"Stop! This method… It's better to use it sparingly in the future. Besides, we've only been separated for just over half a month. If you miss your master, you can simply finish your tasks and return to the mountain…"

Chen Daoxuan quickly interjected upon hearing this. Meeting like this cost a thousand system points each time. While it might not be much for him now, it couldn't be indulged so extravagantly!

Furthermore, with constant worry about his disciples being killed by enemies or even committing suicide, how could he reason with that?

"For this first offense, I won't say anything. It just happens that we can deal with this Ren Family…"

Chen Daoxuan helplessly ruffled the heads of his two disciples before turning his gaze towards the Ren Family.

"This esteemed senior, the Ren Family is willing to offer half of our family's wealth as compensation for reconciliation. If you insist on taking action, I will detonate the spiritual veins. As a master of the Void Refining Realm, you wouldn't want to perish alongside us mere ants, would you?"

The head of the Ren Family nervously looked at Chen Daoxuan, his hand even reaching for a formation disc. Once activated, the explosion formation concealed within the spiritual veins would be triggered.

"No need to be so tense. We're all acquaintances here. Talking about compensation is a bit too formal, isn't it?"

Chen Daoxuan smiled amiably, casually remarking.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was taken aback, and the members of the Ren Family breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cerulean Dragon Holy Flame."
