Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 142 Fulfilling a Wish. Tracing Back to the Source and Destroying the Great Sage!

'Oh no, the poison is getting stronger!' Already panicked, Su Wan found that the fire in her body was becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. She quickly squeezed Ling Qingxue's hand, signaling to herself that she was about to die.

Shen Yun glanced at Su Wan, then waved his hand to create a barrier that blocked her sight and hearing before turning to Ling Qingxue, whose cheeks were flushed, and smiled:

"Don't panic, I have some medicine to cure your poison. As for her, don't worry, I will notify the experts from Yaochi to come as soon as possible."

Su Wan was just a stranger to him, not as important as Qing Xue. He could let Yao Chi figure it out himself.

"Young Master, I didn't..." Ling Qingxue saw him take out a pill, her eyes darted around, and she staggered into Shen Yun's arms:

"I'm alright, young master~, my senior sister is about to collapse, give her the pills..."

"This won't do!" Shen Yun, who was supporting her, frowned, but then he saw Ling Qingxue in his arms look up, lightly biting her pink lips, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection:

"Young master...would you be willing to help Qingxue heal...?"

Before she could finish speaking, she buried her face in Shen Yun's chest, too embarrassed to lift it.

'I'm sorry, young master... Qingxue lied to you...'

Even a sage could not discern her physical condition; clearly, she was trying to take this opportunity to fulfill her own desires.

Boom!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Ling Qingxue, pressed tightly against Shen Yun's chest, listened to his increasingly rapid heartbeat, and a happy smile appeared on her face:

'Young master also has feelings for me...'

She knew that the young master had fallen for her.

Perhaps it was the separation between two realms that made the young master hesitant to give the pill to Su Wan, and Ling Qingxue placed his other hand on her chest with a slight tremor in her eyes:

"Young master, listen, Qingxue's heartbeat... is just like yours..."

"Huff~!" Shen Yun's strength was somewhat violent.

He looked down at the pain between his brows, yet Ling Qingxue, still gazing intently at him with her sweet breath, his voice hoarse:

"Do you really think I'm a god?!"

Even a god couldn't withstand it!

Upon hearing this, Ling Qingxue smiled gently, tiptoed, and wrapped her arms around Shen Yun's neck, whispering softly:

"It's not the best... Young Master, Qingxue is perfectly lucid right now... I hope you'll grant my request... alright..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yun felt her tears slide down his cheeks, and her body trembled slightly, as if she was afraid of being rejected.

"I just can't do anything with you." Shen Yun chuckled as he gently pulled the boy's waist with his large hand.

"Today, it will be as you wish!"

Whoosh!

A pill was placed in front of Su Wan.

"Senior sister, please take the antidote and rest. I..."

"Yes, Junior Sister!" Su Wan didn't hesitate at all, quickly took the pill, and sat cross-legged to refine it.

"Junior sister, are you alright? Junior sister?!"

Unfortunately, the barrier blocked her hearing again, and she was left alone in the room...

……

The western border is a perilous land, a death swamp.

Click click click~

Liu Ruyan, who was pacing back and forth outside the cave, rushed to look when she heard the cave door open:

"Senior succeeded?!"

"You bastard!!!"

A chilling roar echoed throughout the underground.

boom!!!

A powerful pressure forced Liu Ruyan to her knees on the spot, chilling her to the bone:

"What's wrong, senior?!"

She sensed the intense killing intent emanating from the other party!

If it weren't for the Emperor's Contract, I would probably be dead by now.

"What's wrong?!" The withered old man slowly rose, staring intently at Liu Ruyan:

"How dare you ask?! Behind the two Holy Maidens of Yaochi is a red-haired Great Sage! My own Dao body!!!"

“Red…Red-haired Great Sage?!” Liu Ruyan was stunned.

She was truly dumbfounded.

Although Ling Qingxue had ambushed her in the dilapidated temple, she had concealed her identity and appearance at the time.

With a red-haired Great Sage Realm expert appearing now, how could she possibly connect it to the white-haired expert behind Luo Hongxi?

"Not only was my Dao body destroyed, but I didn't even gain any benefit!" The withered old man squinted at Liu Ruyan and directly summoned an array:

"This is a soul-locking spell! Consider your contract with me as compensation."

'A Soul-Locking Curse?!' Liu Ruyan's pupils contracted, and she shuddered, immediately kneeling in worship:

“Senior, this was just an accident, I didn’t want it either! And I… as the successor of the Great Emperor, you can’t… you can’t force me.”

Once afflicted by the Soul-Locking Curse, she won't be killed by a single thought, but all her secrets will be exposed, leaving her in a very passive position.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." The withered old man's tone was cold.

"If we encounter any difficult situations in the future, I will take action as appropriate."

This woman is blessed with good fortune; she may achieve great things in the future!

"This..." Liu Ruyan's mind raced, but she had no better solution at the moment.

suddenly!

"what!!!"

The withered old man let out a shrill roar.

"What's going on?!" Liu Ruyan looked up and saw the old man engulfed in invisible flames, roaring desperately.

"A method to trace back to the source?! No!!!"

No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't resist the erosion of the source of annihilation.

Bang~!

In an instant, the old man's body turned to ashes.

Even the soul that escaped the body was burned into wisps of smoke by this strange, nameless fire.

Only after the old man's piercing screams completely faded away did Liu Ruyan, regaining her senses, burst into ecstatic joy.

"Hahahaha! Good riddance! It's like heaven is helping me!!"

She got up, dusted herself off, and looked disdainful.

"Bah! You dare to try and bind your soul to this old dog? You're not worthy!"

Unfortunately, the flames were too powerful, even burning away the old man's spatial ring.

'It must be the work of that red-haired Great Sage…' Looking at the empty cave, Liu Ruyan's expression was extremely solemn.

"The method of tracing back to the source is specifically effective against the method of creating clones. It seems I must never provoke Su Wan and Ling Qingxue again..."

Fortunately, she came to seek help from the old man Ku Rong.

If she were to personally test Su Wan and the other two, she would probably be the one to die!

'I've narrowly escaped death...' Liu Ruyan thought to herself with secret relief, but her expression remained inscrutable as she looked at the cave dwelling before her.

"As for this small restricted area, it can be reserved for those who need it! So, it's not a complete loss..."

……

After receiving Ling Qingxue's message talisman, the powerful figures of Yaochi immediately located Ling Qingxue and Su Wan.

Seeing that the two were unharmed, the saints escorted them away quietly.

Since the ancient corpse of the Great Emperor contains a quasi-Emperor level magic weapon, it is inevitable that it will be coveted by others. Only by returning to its own territory can it feel at ease.

The inter-domain teleportation array has been forcibly activated for Yaochi once again!

The city lord had no choice, after all, Yaochi had promised many benefits.

The main problem is that we have no choice but to open it. With so many old sages casting such sinister glances, anyone would be terrified!

Su Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief when the group arrived in the Eastern Region.

She immediately winked at Ling Qingxue: "Junior sister, thank you!"

Although she really wanted to find out about the red-haired senior's background, she was oblivious to the presence of so many people.

Ling Qingxue smiled brightly: "We are fellow disciples, there is no need for thanks."

'Speaking of which, it seems that my junior sister has matured a lot?' Su Wan asked with some doubt.

She was naturally sensitive to scents, and suddenly realized that this junior sister seemed to have gained a more feminine charm.
