Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 689: An Ambush!
Chapter 689: An Ambush!
The Celestial Jade Lion vanished.
Hua Jin the True One pounced at empty air.
Just as she tried to investigate what lay beyond the spatial rift, the slowly closing tear in space instantly sealed shut completely.
Hua Jin the True One stood frozen in place, immediately spreading her Divine Sense outwards.
But... nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
She couldn't even capture the slightest trace of spatial energy.
Her Divine Sense felt like it was probing into a black hole when facing that mysterious unknown space.
All she could obtain was pure nothingness.
"It escaped! That mysterious girl got away again!" Hua Jin the True One was about to lose her mind.
She was clearly a woman at the Void Shattering realm who could practically strut sideways across Earth Star.
Yet she kept suffering setbacks while competing for the Celestial Jade Marrow.
Either getting slapped by this one or smacked by that one, sent flying chaotically through the air.
In the end, she only managed to snatch one piece of Celestial Jade Marrow.
Hua Jin the True One clenched her fists in fury, stomping her feet angrily, until she actually sat down on the ground and started wailing loudly.
Fortunately, the Ascenders had either fled or died.
Only the newly joined Kunlun Immortal Palace disciples—who still carried considerable debts—remained present, while the core elders were Zhang Yibai, Wang Shouyi, and Gu Changsheng.
"This..." Zhang Yibai watched the wailing Hua Jin the True One and accidentally plucked out a strand of his beard.
Gu Changsheng also shook his head repeatedly.
It was clear that Hua Jin the True One had truly suffered a major emotional breakdown.
"Ancestor, perhaps we should inform Elder Chen and leave the remaining Celestial Jade Marrow for Hua Jin the True One?
The Celestial Jade Lion ate one piece of the premium Celestial Jade Marrow, and there's still one final premium piece yet to form. Hua Jin the True One only obtained two premium pieces, while we already have seven."
Li Qingran took two, and Lin Fan took five—exactly seven pieces.
Zhang Yibai sighed: "This old man has no objections, but this matter must be discussed with your Elder Chen... Speaking of which, where is your Elder Chen?"
The two scanned their surroundings but couldn't find Chen Huaian's figure anywhere.
Today's Chen Huaian indeed had a somewhat elusive quality about him.
"Let's wait a bit longer." Zhang Yibai returned to sit at the core of the magic formation while spreading his Divine Soul outward, his brow furrowing unconsciously.
That evil entity that had possessed Muscle Tyrant had returned.
There was no need to overthink it—that evil creature definitely wasn't up to any good when it ran off.
Before Chen Huaian returned, he and Gu Changsheng needed to keep close watch.
...
Ten minutes earlier, in the Cangyun Realm.
Chen Huaian had returned after leaving, doing only one thing—summoning all the Void Refinement Old Monsters within the sect.
Of course, he didn't spare those at the Great Perfection of the Unity Realm either, except for Su Qinian.
"Ancestor!"
Looking at the group of respectfully bowing old men emitting terrifying cultivation fluctuations, Chen Huaian's lips curled slightly.
After all, the Celestial Jade Lion was an Earth Star spirit creature, and he didn't plan to intervene and incur karma unless absolutely necessary.
But for these Void Refinement Old Monsters, it meant nothing.
A mere Celestial Jade Lion—couldn't these Void Refinement Old Monsters handle it easily?
"Today I've summoned you all because This Venerable One has captured a sect Auspicious Beast! This Auspicious Beast can continuously produce Spirit Jade for our Moon Shadow Sect! And the effect of Spirit Jade in accelerating Spiritual Energy—I believe you've all experienced it by now... So this is a tremendous opportunity that we must seize!"
Chen Huaian's words were full of holes.
For example, the Cangyun Realm had no such resource-producing spirit creatures.
Or how the Ancestor was already at the Great Ascension Stage, so why would he need their help?
But the group of Void Refinement Old Monsters surprisingly didn't question Chen Huaian's words—when the Ancestor said east, they wouldn't go west.
Even if the Ancestor claimed the mountain-guarding sect beast Daha was a pig demon instead of a wolf demon, they would roar in agreement—"The Ancestor is right!"
"Ancestor, to think such a miraculous Auspicious Beast exists in the world—we must indeed firmly grasp it in our hands!"
An elder stepped forward with a serious expression, cupping his hands respectfully: "Might I ask where this Auspicious Beast is currently? This junior is willing to serve as the vanguard to capture this Auspicious Beast! I only request..." He paused, looking somewhat embarrassed as he said: "I just humbly ask that if the Ancestor has future opportunities to send people to Earth Star, please definitely consider this junior."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other silent Void Refinement Old Monsters immediately erupted in commotion.
"Ancestor, this disciple is also willing to go and subdue it!"
"This disciple too, this disciple too! I only beg the Ancestor to provide more opportunities in the future!"
Chen Huaian looked at the group of 'eagerly waiting' old monsters, his face beaming with delight.
They were all pillars of the Moon Shadow Sect, rushing forward like cattle and horses eager to work.
Just then, ten thousand swords chimed in unison as Lin Fan 'carried' over nine thousand Top-tier Spiritual Artifacts, charging out from the crowd.
"Don't any of you fight with this old man!"
Lin Fan waved his large hand, and nine thousand Top-tier Spiritual Artifact flying swords immediately divided into groups, transforming into cages that 'imprisoned' all the surrounding Void Refinement Old Monsters, then he slid forward on his knees to kneel before Chen Huaian.
"Hehehe!" Just as he laughed, Lin Fan immediately covered his mouth and said properly: "Ancestor, this junior has already been to Earth Star once and has considerable understanding of Earth Star's rules. This junior is the most suitable candidate."
Chen Huaian's mouth twitched, already sensing the spatial fluctuations of Divine Wandering in the Void.
And this time the fluctuations were larger than before, as if something big was about to arrive!
He knew Li Qingran must have succeeded, so he quickly called out: "Alright, alright, no fighting! Everyone will get their turn!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding space distorted violently.
Immediately following, a massive black shadow descended from the sky.
Dust billowed everywhere, rubble pattering down.
Li Qingran burst out from the dust like a startled fawn, crashing straight into Chen Huaian's embrace, her arms tightly wrapping around his waist, her small face buried in his chest, her shoulders dramatically heaving up and down: "Wuwuwu... Master, save me! Your disciple was scared to death! That purple-gold big dog is so fierce! It wants to eat people!"
Her voice carried sobs, sounding utterly pitiful.
But the corners of her mouth buried against Chen Huaian's chest secretly curled into a sly smile.
She even secretly opened one eye, quickly glancing toward the center of the dust cloud.
Chen Huaian's body stiffened slightly, then he sighed helplessly, gently patting her back in comfort.
This little disciple's acting was getting more and more elaborate.
Just at that moment!
"ROAR——!!!"
An ear-splitting roar filled with shock, rage, and brutality tore through the dust cloud like thunder from a clear sky.
A massive purple-gold figure burst forth violently.
The Celestial Jade Lion now appeared thoroughly disheveled, its beautiful crystal mane stained with dust, its enormous purple-gold flame-like eyes burning with fury at being deceived.
It locked its gaze firmly on Li Qingran in Chen Huaian's embrace.
It was this insignificant human who had lured it to this damned place with that cursed Spirit Jade!
And even dared to touch its sacred nose bridge!
It dug its claws into the ground, the hard rock shattering like tofu, its massive body carrying the momentum to crush everything as it charged toward Li Qingran's direction like an out-of-control purple-gold mountain.
Its enormous maw opened wide, purple-gold energy gathering in its throat, forming a sphere of light brimming with destructive power.
Today it would definitely punish this little thief!
However, its roar and charge only reached halfway, the charged destructive energy sphere not even having time to be expelled...
An indescribable, piercingly cold chill, like ten-thousand-year profound ice, instantly enveloped it from all directions, trapping it completely.
The Celestial Jade Lion's massive body abruptly froze mid-air.
Its enormous purple-gold flame-like pupils contracted to pinpricks.
Not good!
There's an ambush!
