CHAPTER 942: CHAPTER 939: THE GREAT BATTLE APPROACHES

Nalan Yanran: "He is my younger brother, as an elder sister, it’s only natural to think of my brother when I have something good, what’s wrong with that?"

Huo Jiuyan gritted his teeth and said, "You’re going to harm him!"

"Am I really harming him?" Nalan Yanran revealed a smile that carried a deeper meaning; this move seemed to push Xu Wendong into an abyss.

Yet she understood the terribleness of Xu Wendong.

Even the strong cultivators of the Yanzhou cultivation realm would find it hard to do anything to him.

Huo Jiuyan gave a heavy cold snort, then said, "Let’s go!"

With those words.

Over a thousand cultivators at the Golden Core Stage shifted direction in the sky and flew majestically towards Yanzhou.

After everyone left, the cultivators of the Myriad Beast Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief, a sense of lingering fear rising in their hearts.

Fortunately, the Yanzhou cultivators left, if a battle erupted, the Myriad Beast Sect would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Nalan Yanran directly sent a message to Xu Wendong: "Husband, earlier the strong of Yanzhou launched a major offense to seize the Qilin Egg, I’ve driven them away, but I suspect they might strike against you."

"Okay, I’ve got it."

The Yanzhou cultivators coveted the Qilin Egg was within his expectations.

Even if Nalan Yanran told the others that she had the Qilin Egg, Xu Wendong was not afraid.

He did not believe the Yanzhou cultivators dared to invade Qingzhou.

Nonetheless.

It was necessary to make early plans.

Seeing Xu Fan showing no sign of waking up, Xu Wendong stood up and left the cave, stepping onto a flying sword, hovering in the air.

Then he took out some spirit stones and laid out a Profound Rank Ninth Level Mountain Protection Formation, the highest-level array he could arrange.

This formation could not repel Nascent Soul Stage experts.

But Golden Core Period experts couldn’t hope to break through it from the outside.

After completing these tasks.

He then went to the Elixir Sect and also set up a Profound Rank Ninth Level protection array there.

After all, some things need to be prevented before they happen.

------

At the same time.

Huo Jiuyan and the others returned to Yanzhou City.

"What? The Myriad Beast Sect gave the Qilin Egg to Xu Wendong?" Upon learning of this, Situ Shu was very angry, he couldn’t believe the Qilin Egg had fallen into Xu Wendong’s hands.

"Senior, should we not march to Qingzhou and take back the Qilin Egg?" Huo Jiuyan asked.

Situ Shu suppressed his anger and shook his head: "I have probed into Xu Wendong’s strength, this youngster’s might is unparalleled and might just be the legendary Ancient Sacred Body."

Huo Jiuyan’s pupils trembled: "In that case, we mustn’t let him live, he should be killed in the cradle as soon as possible!"

He had heard of the terror of the Ancient Sacred Body.

It is an unsurpassed sacred body capable of dazzling an era.

Situ Shu said: "The Ancient Sacred Body certainly can transcend an era, but Xu Wendong is ultimately from the mortal world, as long as we do not provoke him, we will not invite disaster."

He was very much aware of his own capabilities.

He knew the powers of the Yanzhou cultivation realm were insufficient to shake Xu Wendong.

If they rashly attacked Xu Wendong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Then what should we do? Should we simply watch as he claims the Qilin Egg?" Huo Jiuyan displayed an expression full of unwillingness.

Situ Shu revealed a smile that carried a deeper meaning: "Don’t rush, if my calculations are correct, the formation at Jade Maiden Palace will soon collapse."

Huo Jiuyan was taken aback, then a glimmer of greed flashed in his eyes: "All the cultivators in the Nine Provinces have their eyes on Jade Maiden Palace, if that formation collapses, strong cultivators from the Nine Provinces will definitely attack Qingzhou."

"Although Xu Wendong’s talent is strong, women are his weakness, and he has a good relationship with the Jade Maiden Palace."

"He definitely won’t watch as the women of Jade Maiden Palace are divided by the cultivators of the Nine Provinces."

"In this way, he would be equivalent to opposing all the cultivators of the Nine Provinces."

"No matter how exceptional his talent is, and even with unrivaled strength, he absolutely would not be a match for the Nine Provinces cultivators."

Situ Shu showed a comforting smile: "The Qilin Egg is certainly a treasure, but compared to the women of the Jade Maiden Palace, its allure is obviously inferior."

"Go back and prepare in advance, that day will come soon!"

Huo Jiuyan bowed and took his leave: "Junior takes his leave!"

------

After Xu Wendong set up a Yellow Rank Ninth Level Mountain Defense Formation at the Elixir Sect, he stayed there for the night, happily spent it with Bai Jie, Xia An’an, and Chen Xi.

At dawn, he hurriedly came to the Jade Maiden Palace.

Ye Qingmei saw him return, a charming smile appeared on her face: "I knew you would definitely achieve excellent results!"

Xu Wendong smiled, then his expression became much more serious: "I felt when I returned just now that the foundation of the Nine Heavens Thunder Formation has weakened again."

Ye Qingmei sighed softly: "Within a month, the Nine Heavens Thunder Formation will collapse."

"Unfortunately, with my current strength, I cannot set up a new Nine Heavens Thunder Formation."

The Nine Heavens Thunder Formation is an Earth Rank First Stage array, installing such a formation at least requires the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Even though her Golden Core was beginning to transform into a Nascent Soul.

She was considered a Half-Step Nascent Soul expert, but still could not set up the Nine Heavens Thunder Formation.

Xu Wendong’s eyes were full of worry: "I also don’t know when Master can return, if she returns before the formation collapses, the Jade Maiden Palace can avoid a catastrophe."

Fuyao left the minor world to transcend the tribulation in the mortal world, if she could return after the tribulation, she could completely reinforce the Nine Heavens Thunder Formation.

At that time, even if a strong enemy launched a massive attack, this formation alone could repel them.

But the problem is.

Xu Wendong did not know when Fuyao could return.

Although he considered his combat power to be quite formidable.

Even when facing Golden Core Stage Peak experts, he could kill them.

But in the entire Qingzhou cultivation realm, those capable of holding their own were really few and far between.

Even Qingzhou cultivators had many magic artifacts.

But one thing was undeniable.

Given the levels of Qingzhou cultivation realm cultivators today, even if each one had a magic artifact, they were absolutely not a match for the other Eight States.

If the others made a massive invasion, their strength was simply not enough to resist the attack.

It would still be impossible to prevent the Jade Maiden Palace disciples from being taken, becoming the playthings of others.

Ye Qingmei suggested: "Perhaps we could let the Jade Maiden Palace disciples migrate to the mortal world!"

"I considered this solution before, but it is very difficult to implement," Xu Wendong said: "If I’m not mistaken, forces from all sides are watching Jade Maiden Palace, if the disciples move in mass, they will surely swarm in."

For the cultivators of the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, the Jade Maiden Palace is a delectable piece of meat, they must be watching for it to ripen.

There is absolutely no way they would watch the prized meat slip away under their noses.

Ye Qingmei sighed softly, her eyes full of worry: "If it really cannot be avoided, then we can only resign ourselves to fate!"

For them, death was not frightening.

What was frightening was a fate worse than death.

"Until the last moment, one cannot easily resign to fate." Xu Wendong’s eyes gleamed with a frightening cold light: "Perhaps, there is a way to save the Jade Maiden Palace!"

Ye Qingmei couldn’t help but ask, "What way?"
