"Qianxue, don't be afraid, it's me! I'm here to save you!"
In a mysterious pocket dimension, Shen Lingxi untied the special restraints of a mystical pouch, releasing a bewildered Han Qianxue.
Just moments ago, using an intangible mask obtained after their leader's breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm, Shen Lingxi had silently infiltrated the Azure Cloud Continent. She sneaked up to Han Qianxue, who was engrossed in nurturing her immortal meridians, and swiftly pulled out a Heaven-Devouring Pouch to capture and whisk her away!
The entire operation was executed flawlessly, smooth as silk—a result of tens of thousands of rehearsals, ensuring not a single misstep.
"Qianxue, I know you've suffered these past days, but it's all over now. Things will get better." Shen Lingxi sighed with pity as she observed Han Qianxue's weakened aura.
Just look at her unstable immortal energy—it was clear she hadn’t had a proper meal in ages.
That man truly deserved death, not leaving even a single Immortal Origin Stone for Qianxue!
"Wait... why is it you, Lingxi-jie? Why you?! You shouldn’t have come!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Han Qianxue’s expression darkened with anguish.
"I know what you’re afraid of, but don’t worry. Our leader has gained a great opportunity in the Immortal Realm—one that can shield you from that man’s surveillance. He can’t control you anymore!" Shen Lingxi reassured her gently.
"Really?" Han Qianxue lifted her hand with a hollow smile, revealing a seemingly ordinary bracelet of Chaos-Colored Beads.
Shen Lingxi, however, noticed nothing amiss and instead beamed. "Oh? Qianxue-mei, this little bracelet is quite delicate. Though the material seems plain, was it a gift from a sweetheart?"
Han Qianxue shut her eyes in pain. "Lingxi-jie, trust me—just surrender."
If she couldn’t even recognize that man’s methods, what good was this so-called "shielding"?
This was practically feeding meat to a dog!
Shen Lingxi frowned slightly. "Qianxue-mei, I know that man is your nightmare, but you must believe in our leader this time. He’s truly gone all out—he’s inherited the legacy of a Dao Ancestor!"
"Do you even know what a Dao Ancestor is? Above Mystic Immortals are Golden Immortals, beyond them are Taiyi Immortals, and transcending Taiyi leads to Great Luo. Only by surpassing Great Luo can one become a Dao Ancestor—a true titan of the Immortal Realm!"
"That man may have some skill, but he’s nothing special. Before a Dao Ancestor’s treasure..."
Before she could finish, Han Qianxue cut her off with a bitter laugh. "Lingxi-jie, you’ve become unfamiliar to me. I don’t know what you’ve experienced in the Immortal Realm, but it feels like your once-sharp mind has been clouded."
"What are you talking about? I don’t understand." Shen Lingxi gave her a strange look. "Have you been brainwashed by that man?"
"It’s fine. Even if you have, our leader can save you now!"
"Ah, can’t you see it yet?" Han Qianxue sighed deeply before raising her wrist again, murmuring softly, "Stop lurking in the shadows. Come out, my true leader."
Han Qianxue hadn’t wanted to betray Shen Lingxi, but Chen Yi had always been by her side. And... Lingxi-jie seemed to be tainted by something foul—her mind dulled, her perception warped, her thoughts obstructed!
She had dropped enough hints, yet Shen Lingxi kept dodging the issue!
This wasn’t the Lingxi-jie she knew!
The sharp-witted Lingxi-jie would never be this oblivious!
She must have been corrupted by something sinister!
Rather than letting her drift further into delusion alongside that incompetent fool, it was better to surrender now. Though risky, at least she could remain lucid!
The next moment, the Chaos-Colored Beads on Han Qianxue’s wrist erupted in a dazzling radiance!
Yet the brilliance lasted only an instant before a majestic golden light emerged from the void, forcibly suppressing the beads’ glow!
Then, the golden light enveloped both Han Qianxue and Shen Lingxi, drawing them into its embrace!
Witnessing this, Shen Lingxi froze, her body trembling uncontrollably as tears streamed from her eyes. "Qianxue-mei... run... run as far as you can..."
"The Immortal Realm... the Immortal Realm has..."
"Huh? What did I just say? Why do my eyes feel sore? Was your bracelet too bright?"
Han Qianxue stayed silent.
She was certain now—this wasn’t the real Shen Lingxi, but a counterfeit with altered consciousness!
The true Lingxi-jie was trapped deep within her soul, and for just a moment, she had broken free, weeping and begging her to flee!
But before she could finish, the corruption reclaimed control.
What was in the Immortal Realm?
She didn’t know—and didn’t want to.
All she knew was that Lingxi-jie needed her rescue.
Chen Yi, help me!
......
"How intriguing. Truly intriguing!"
Within the Illusory Star Cave, Chen Yi’s true form gazed intently, flashes of imagery flickering in his pupils.
"After observing for so long, you’ve finally mustered the courage to manipulate the little golden dragon into action?"
"Forcing it to unlock its potential, using a Dao Ancestor’s artifact to mend the incomplete Primordial Chaos Creation Disk—are you trying to destroy it?"
"Little golden dragon, you’ve grown bold, suppressing even my Three-Star Chaos Doppelgänger. Not bad—you’ve reached at least Four-Star strength!"
"But if I summon a Five-Star, won’t you just explode?"
"Hmm... currently, the little golden dragon has a Four-Star Chaos Doppelgänger hidden nearby. The other members carry thirty-six Chaos-Colored Beads among them, plus the nine on Han Qianxue—totaling seventy-two beads lurking in the Immortal Realm’s corner. Just nine more, and I can fuse a Five-Star..."
Chen Yi’s expression turned grave. Had this been before his journey through the River of Time to relive his 83rd Immortal Ascension Tribulation, deploying eighty-one Chaos Doppelgängers would’ve been too costly—with only 121 doppelgängers in total, losing so many would’ve crippled him.
With the tribulation sealed and no replenishment, he’d have no strength left for further schemes.
But now?
If they’re lost, I’ll just go back and demand more from the tribulation!
Short on doppelgängers?
Impossible!
I have more than enough!
With a wave of his hand, a hundred Chaos-Colored Beads materialized before him!
