Heavenly Servitude

Tian Chan was on the verge of a complete breakdown.

The video of her after getting drunk was actually sent out by Sword Venerable Qinglian?

Didn't that mean her image as the Master of the Dao Palace and the leader of the righteous path was completely shattered?

"Heh—"

But Tian Chan soon gave a relieved smile. She had no time to care about so many things anymore; after all, her heart was completely dead now.

Over these past few days, she had read almost all the small notes in this sea of wind chimes, and she finally understood just how deeply her junior sister Yunya had loved her.

But what exactly had she done?

In the beginning, she had actually gone to her junior sister and asked her to accompany Jiang Che?

Was she any different from a brothel madam? Putting herself in Junior Sister Yunya's shoes... that was a despair profound enough to kill one's soul. No wonder Junior Sister Yunya chose to shed her mortal coil.

Shedding her mortal coil—

A bizarre thought suddenly rose in Tian Chan's mind.

Anyway, her Dao heart was shattered now, and her body was pretty much defiled. Why not follow Junior Sister Yunya's example and end it all?

After descending to the Yellow Springs, she could keep Junior Sister Yunya company!

The more she thought about it, the stronger the urge became!

She then raised her hand and summoned the Righteous Path Origin from within her body. The Righteous Path Origin still exuded the majesty of awe-inspiring righteousness. Although it was entangled by countless wisps of evil energy, no matter how dense the evil energy was, it could not get close to it at all.

Tian Chan slowly reached out, attempting to touch the Righteous Path Origin. At the same time, endless evil energy surged from her Dao heart, following her fingers in an attempt to pollute the Righteous Path Origin, but it evaporated and vanished instantly like water droplets hitting a raging fire!

However, right at this moment, the Righteous Path Origin suddenly slipped out of her control!

Originally, the Righteous Path Origin was like an obedient and cute little puppy that she could pet and play with at will, but now it was completely unresponsive. What terrified her even more was... she had actually lost her grip on the Righteous Path Origin entirely.

Although cultivators and the Great Dao Origins were not in a master-servant relationship, the tacit understanding developed over tens of thousands of years of harmonious coexistence made them almost akin to best friends or even lovers.

To Tian Chan, the Righteous Path Origin was a best friend who could not speak but silently guarded her.

Even when she nearly turned dark and fell into the evil path, it was still willing to stay by her side and never abandon her. Once the Righteous Path Origin left her... the evil power within her body would quickly backlash against her.

The Righteous and Evil Dao Embryo within her body had reached complete mastery, and all the righteous and evil power had transformed into evil power. One must know that even with the Righteous Path Origin, she could barely manage to balance it. But once the Righteous Path Origin was gone...

"Hehe... are you going to leave me too?"

A sorrowful look appeared on Tian Chan's face. Now that her Dao heart was shattered, she had lost almost everything she could lose, and even the Righteous Path Origin was leaving her.

"So be it... how can someone in my state deserve the title of the righteous path?"

"It just so happens that I am preparing to end my own life... go and find your next host. I vaguely remember... Jiang Che once said he had a female confidante who also cultivates the righteous path..." Tian Chan muttered to herself.

Righteous Path Origin: "..."

It really wanted to speak. It didn't know why either! Why had its connection with Tian Chan been severed for no reason!

It had found Tian Chan the moment she was born. Even though she was the evil embryo of the Righteous and Evil Dao Embryo, it had still hidden within her body. Even later, when the righteous embryo perished and the Dao embryo reached mastery... completely degrading into an evil embryo, it had stepped forward on its own initiative to merge into Tian Chan's origin to balance the righteous and evil powers.

How could it possibly abandon Tian Chan at this moment?

It was clearly a higher-tier power that it could not resist, forcibly extracting it from Tian Chan's body. That power was utterly terrifying... of an unprecedentedly high status.

Since its birth, it had never seen an ability of this caliber!

...

"So be it... so be it. Junior Sister Yunya, you must be very lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs, right?" Tian Chan gently stroked Yunya's stone tablet, her gaze filled with sorrow.

She had already begun preparing to shed her mortal coil.

But right at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out!

"How bold! You Great Dao Origin have no morals at all. Seeing her down and out, you're just going to abandon her?"

From the void, a figure stepped forward.

Tian Chan was shocked. She had already set up a barrier around the Heavenly Sound Immortal Peak. Who was this man... how did he get in?

Obviously, the person who could say such words was none other than Young Master Jiang Che!

"Palace Master Tian, look at what I caught right after I arrived?" Jiang Che held a transparent sphere in his hand, which radiated awe-inspiring righteousness.

The Righteous Path Origin!

"This—" Tian Chan was completely speechless, staring blankly at Jiang Che.

How dare he?

How could he possibly capture a Great Dao Origin???

This was something even a Supreme Immortal Emperor could not do!

"This Righteous Path Origin is really a piece of work. It wants to leave you just because you're down on your luck? I, Young Master Jiang, must get justice for you!"

Jiang Che spoke with righteous indignation, leaving even the Righteous Path Origin dumbfounded.

Jiang Che was only bullying it because it couldn't speak; otherwise, it would definitely have cursed out Jiang Che's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Obviously, this was all directed and acted out by Jiang Che himself.

"However... Palace Master Tian, what are you preparing to do? Seeking death?" Jiang Che glanced at Tian Chan, a playful smirk on his face.

[Beep! The host has tricked Tian Chan and gained 2 billion points.]

Tian Chan blinked at Jiang Che.

"You swiped so many Life Extension Pills from me, and now you want to just die and end it all? Is that possible?" Jiang Che sneered.

"You and Yunya took tens of thousands of my supreme-grade Life Extension Pills together. Now that Yunya has shed her mortal coil... you naturally have to pay her debts for her!"

Jiang Che was the epitome of shamelessness. When it came to being despicable, if Jiang Che claimed to be second, no one would dare claim to be first.

"You—"

Tian Chan was instantly enraged. Yunya was her taboo right now, not to mention that Jiang Che's words carried such a heavy tone of insult.

Tian Chan instantly erupted, her Immortal Emperor-level aura crushing forward. However, this kind of method was like child's play in Jiang Che's eyes. With the system's item cards, any kind of pressure was a mere joke.

"Am I wrong? But then again, I don't really care about this handful of Life Extension Pills..."

Seeing Jiang Che's cheeky smile, Tian Chan trembled with anger. "Junior Sister Yunya had already consummated her relationship with you, yet you are so heartless and ungrateful..."

"Now that Junior Sister Yunya has shed her mortal coil and perished, acting like this... how can she rest in peace in the netherworld?"

Tian Chan stood up in a furious rage, raising her hand to strike Jiang Che.

However, Jiang Che remained completely unmoved. He didn't even need to use a system item card.

A gentle breeze brushed past!

It instantly disintegrated Tian Chan's attack, and at the same time, an unmatched immortal pressure bore straight down upon her shoulders.

The young woman revealed a look of horror, and then fell to her knees on the ground.

"A lowly person dares to raise a hand against the Imperial Monarch?"
