Chapter 15: Looming Danger for Yanran! Chen Daoxuan Makes a Move!
As the Return to Ruin realm elder pressed down with a palm, the Luo Tian Grand Palm descended upon the Leng family mansion with a resounding boom!
The younger members of the Leng family were already prostrated on the ground, immobilized by the terrifying pressure alone. The vast disparity in cultivation realms left them without any intention of resistance.
Even the Leng family's patriarch, Leng Zhan, a peak Transcendent realm cultivator, could only grit his teeth and endure, his back now hunched under the immense strain.
"This is too terrifying! Is this the true power of a Return to Ruin realm expert?
"I wonder if Leng Yanran can still summon that terrifying treasure from earlier. If not, it seems she will be reduced to ashes under this attack!"
The surrounding onlookers from various factions in the capital were observing this battle. Seeing the imminent demise of the Leng family, some factions were already itching to take action and seize the Leng family's assets.
Especially the Wang and Li families, who had anticipated major losses and planned to compensate the Leng family with significant resources. But now, they were filled with hope.
If the Leng family fell to the hands of the Luo Heaven Sect's experts, not only would they suffer no losses, but they might even reap substantial profits.
In the entire capital city, almost 99.9% of people were eagerly anticipating the Leng family's downfall.
At this critical moment, Leng Zhan's gaze turned slightly hopeful as he looked at Leng Yanran. However, to his surprise, even she wore a resolute expression, indicating that she had no lifesaving means left.
"My Leng family is truly finished this time…"
Leng Zhan's bitter smile appeared as he faced the imminent fall of the Luo Tian Grand Palm, closing his eyes in despair.
Finally, accompanied by a tremendous "boom!" a handprint-shaped crater several dozen meters deep appeared on the ground around the Leng family mansion.
Everyone believed that the Leng family had been completely wiped out by the strike of the Return to Ruin realm expert. However, the members of the Leng family looked at each other in disbelief, having somehow survived the deadly blow.
Eventually, all eyes turned to Leng Yanran and a floating jade pendant in front of her.
The jade pendant had no discernible grade, with only the character "Leng" inscribed on it, emitting a faint glow as it hovered in front of Leng Yanran.
"This is the jade pendant given by Master?"
Leng Yanran herself was a bit dazed, thinking she was about to die and unable to repay her Master's kindness.
Unexpectedly, the jade pendant that her Master had given her, which could allow her to freely enter and leave the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, possessed such a peculiar function?
"A defensive treasure?"
The elder of the Luo Heaven Sect in the air couldn't help but frown slightly. He had not expected Leng Yanran to possess a defensive treasure capable of withstanding an attack from a Return to Ruin Ninth Layer expert!
Nevertheless, he didn't regard it too highly.
Such treasures consumed a tremendous amount of energy. Even if it could withstand an attack once, it wouldn't last long. After wiping out the members of the Leng family later, he could add this treasure to his collection. That would be a great pleasure!
A treasure capable of withstanding his full-powered attack must be at least a profound-rank treasure, worth a fortune!
…
Meanwhile, within the Illusory Mountain, inside a small pavilion in front of the Heavenly Dao Hall, Chen Daoxuan was leisurely sipping his tea while waiting for his disciple to return.
However, his brows suddenly furrowed as a notification from the system appeared in his mind.
[Detected a life-threatening attack on the host's senior disciple.]
[Spending 100 system points allows remote intervention with one move.]
[Spending 1000 system points allows the host to descend for 10 minutes (safe return to the Heavenly Dao Hall upon death or time expiration).]
[Or you can choose not to intervene, please make a choice, Host.]
At the same time, a scene formed by a water mirror appeared outside the pavilion, revealing Leng Yanran's situation before Chen Daoxuan's eyes.
Looking at the image, although Leng Yanran hadn't suffered any injuries, she appeared somewhat embarrassed, causing Chen Daoxuan's brows to furrow.
He had finally waited for a disciple, and if he were to disregard her now and let her perish, it would be a tremendous loss! He had counted on Leng Yanran to help him recruit more geniuses in the future!
Moreover, she was his first disciple! How could he allow her to fall?
Besides, his senior disciple was a... Succubus!
She must be saved!
"Spend 100 system points!"
Chen Daoxuan pondered for a moment and decided to use 100 system points to intervene remotely and resolve the crisis. As his voice fell, he felt that he could launch an attack through the water mirror directly.
"Sky Monument!"
Uncertain whether his Triple Condensation Qi realm could handle the opponent, Chen Daoxuan decided to use a more potent technique from the Demonic Arts—the Sky Monument!
He lightly tossed a stone monument with an ancient aura into the water mirror toward the Luo Heaven Sect elder.
...
As Chen Daoxuan intervened remotely, Leng Yanran's beautiful eyes widened when she noticed the jade pendant before her slowly condensing into what seemed like a water mirror.The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
Though the image was somewhat obscure, she could faintly discern a figure in the water mirror tossing something!
Despite the ripples distorting the view, she recognized the figure! "Master!?"
The Luo Heaven Sect elder in the air saw the sudden change in the jade pendant and felt a vague sense of unease. An impulse to escape this place surged within him.
However, before he could even react, a small stone monument materialized within the water mirror!
With a swift "whoosh," the stone monument appeared directly above the Luo Heaven Sect elder's head, locking onto his aura.
"What wicked technique is this!? Why can't I move!"
The elder felt a sense of horror as the stone monument locked onto his aura, causing him to lose control of his entire body. He looked up at the monument, only to find it growing larger and larger until it reached a height of three thousand zhang (1 zhang is aprox. 3.3 meters) before stopping!
A colossal shadow engulfed the surrounding area, as if the entire world had been completely restricted. Everyone lost control of their bodies and even their thoughts became sluggish!
"Om—" With a slight tremor, the stone monument descended!
Boom!!!
The monument landed and penetrated the ground hundreds of zhang deep, leaving no trace of the elder; he had turned to ashes upon contact with the monument!
Fortunately, the Leng family mansion was outside the range of the monument's confinement; otherwise, the family would have been wiped out!
"What... What terrifying technique is this?"
