Chapter 2014
Third place: Purple Mansion Sacred Land;
Fourth place: Nine Netherworld Holy Land;
Following closely behind are Yaochi, Tianxuan, and Jiuqu Holy Land, while Yaoguang Holy Land ranks last.
It was only natural that Yao Guang Holy Land was at the bottom – the First Holy Son Xiao Xuanche was killed, and the morale of the other Holy Sons and Holy Ladies plummeted. To make matters worse, in subsequent battles, they encountered Xia Jiuyou, who had broken free of the shackles of the furnace and undergone a mental transformation.
In this ranking battle, apart from Chen Xuan standing at the top, Xia Jiuyou can be considered the biggest dark horse. She was the first saintess to show her unparalleled talent, defeating several core disciples of Yaoguang and directly pushing them to the bottom position.
Second only to Xia Jiuyou are the "Twin Wonders of Purple and Green" of the Purple Mansion Holy Land – Qingxia and Zixia.
The Purple Light Jade and Azure Sky Ruler in their hands were originally divine swords of slaughter from the ancient immortal era. With the two swords combined, they successively defeated the first and second tiers of holy son teams from Yaochi, Jiuqu, and Tianxuan Holy Land, and were unparalleled in their prowess.
The Holy Lord of Yaoguang no longer cared about Yaoguang Holy Land's bottom ranking.
Compared to this loss, the fact that he was able to keep Lu Xueqi, this promising Immortal King, and even went so far as to publicly swear an oath to Chen Xuan, already made him incredibly wealthy.
However, the elders and disciples of the Holy Land found it hard to accept. Elder Xiaoyun frequently looked up at the Holy Lord Yaoguang, who stood with his hands behind his back in the void. He wanted to speak up to persuade him several times, but he swallowed his words because he was afraid of the Holy Lord's majesty.
The ranking battle was finally over, and the Holy Lord of Yao Guang impatiently urged them on. Jue Wuqing, helpless, turned to look at the warship pavilion of the Jueqing Holy Land and sent a telepathic message: "It's been three days! Even if you were giving birth, you should have a whole bunch by now. Why aren't you out?"
The door to the attic was quickly pushed open, and Chen Xuan led his eight Daoist companions out one by one, their figures landing in the void.
"Brother Chen Xuan, once I return to the Yao Guang Holy Land to rebuild my foundation and restore my cultivation, I will come to find you." Lu Xueqi looked at Chen Xuan, her eyes filled with reluctance and a hint of anticipation.
"If I have time, I would like to go back to my new hometown to visit my master."
The sharp-eyed Celestial Kings and God Kings all noticed the ancient ring on her fingertip—clearly a token given to her by Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, his tone gentle yet firm: "Don't worry, once we've both reached the edge of the Tribulation Transcending stage, I'll accompany you back to our hometown to see our old friends."
"Xuan, then... I'm going?" As the time for parting approached, Lu Xueqi finally couldn't help but tear up, and a tear slid down from the corner of her eye, condensing into a crystal droplet in the air.
Chen Xuan looked at her quietly and nodded slowly: "Cultivate well, we are all waiting for you to return to your peak."
"Sister Xueqi, you have to catch up with us quickly! We're almost at the edge of the tribulation!" Yu'er and the others also gathered around, their voices full of reluctance.
In just three days, they had already grown fond of this person who cared deeply for the tribe and had a great love for her. Lu Xueqi asked most about the current situation in the various provinces of Longxia and the environment of their habitat. This concern made them admire her even more.
"Hmm." Lu Xueqi looked deeply at Chen Xuan, then glanced at Yu'er and the other seven sisters, hiding all her reluctance in her eyes.
Finally, she turned around, wiped away her tears, and transformed into a streak of azure light, flying towards the warship of the Yao Guang Holy Land. She quickly merged into that familiar halo.
"Master." After turning back, Lu Xueqi did not look at Elder Xiaoyun beside her, but flew straight towards the Holy Lord Yaoguang, landed beside him, and respectfully bowed.
That clear and loud "Master" completely announced the change in her identity—now her master was no longer the Immortal Xiaoyun, but this Immortal King Sect Master.
Elder Xiaoyun stood there, his face slightly stiff, but he could only silently step aside.
She knew that from the moment the Holy Lord of Yaoguang publicly swore to protect the Dao, Lu Xueqi's future was already bound to the Immortal King, and he could no longer interfere.
"It's good that you're back." The Holy Lord of Yaoguang looked at Lu Xueqi with a gentle smile. "After three days of conversation, I'm sure some of the knots in your heart have been untied."
