Chapter 3496: Heartbroken

Just as Ye Bufan and the others had hidden themselves, a figure swiftly approached from a distance—it was Geng Junsheng.

Xuan Yuan Linglong took a couple of quick steps forward to meet him, her face full of anticipation: "Senior Brother Geng, are you here to explain to me?"

"Explain? What is there to explain to a piece of trash like you?"

Geng Junsheng sneered, flipping his wrist to reveal a long sword in his palm.

"I'm here to send you on your way. And I must say, the burial ground you chose for yourself isn't bad."

"What?"

The smile vanished from Xuan Yuan Linglong's face, and the light in her eyes dimmed once more.

She wasn't afraid of death; she was afraid of a chilled heart, and this man before her had utterly disheartened her to the extreme.

She had originally thought that he had some special reason, or some unspoken difficulty that he couldn't reveal within the Sect, and that he had come out now to explain things clearly to her.

She never expected that she was wrong, and terribly so. He wasn't here to give any explanation at all, but to kill her.

"You foolish woman, you still haven't figured out your place even now."

Geng Junsheng held the long sword in his hand, "What? Are you very disappointed?

Since you are so infatuated with me, then go die for me."

Xuan Yuan Linglong's face was ashen, and she murmured, "Why? Why is this happening?"

"It's simple. Your arrival in the Immortal Realm has already affected me. You will affect my reputation and my pursuit of other female immortals with cultivation and status.

I need to leverage their identities and their strength to go higher and further.

Currently, I am in the Lower Heaven Region, but my future goal is the Middle Heaven Region, and even the Upper Heaven Domain.

I want to become a person above others, an Immortal above Immortals! I want to become the most powerful existence in the entire Immortal Realm, to become an Immortal Venerable, and even an Immortal Emperor!

And you, a useless woman, not only can't help me but will become a stumbling block. Tell me, should I kill you or not?"

By the end, Geng Junsheng's face was distorted, with madness mixed with killing intent.

Only at this moment, Xuan Yuan Linglong was completely disappointed and utterly disheartened.

"You… you're a scoundrel!"

"You're right, I am a scoundrel. Did you just realize that?"

Geng Junsheng burst into laughter, "Back then, I flattered you and got close to you because of Xuanyuan Zhantian.

Now that you're useless, I'll go flatter other women just the same, and you must die.

You foolish woman, you've been deceived by me for so many years and only now understand. What a pity, it's all too late. Go meet the King of Hell!"

After speaking, he was about to swing the long sword in his hand, but suddenly a cold voice sounded in his ear.

"Is that so? But I don't think it's too late!"

As soon as the words fell, several people appeared before him, shielding Xuan Yuan Linglong behind them.

"It's you!"

When Geng Junsheng saw that it was Ye Bufan, he trembled all over with fright. He never expected that even after returning to Zixiao Heaven, he would still encounter this nemesis.

Ye Bufan smiled coldly: "That's right, it's me!"

"You, surnamed Ye, what do you want? I'm telling you, this is Zixiao Heaven, it's the territory of my Aojian Sect. Don't act recklessly, or Sect Leader will not let you off…"

This fellow was brave in appearance but timid in heart. He spoke while retreating, but before he could finish, Xiao Qing kicked him to the ground.

"You bastard, who are you trying to scare? Do you believe I'll flatten your damn Aojian Sect right now!"

Geng Junsheng was kicked down like a dog eating dirt. He lifted his head from the ground, somewhat flustered and unsure what to do.

"What are you going to do? I didn't provoke you!"

"You're right, you didn't provoke me, so it's not good for me to deal with you!"

Ye Bufan said, flicking his finger. Several silver needles flew out, completely sealing his cultivation.

After doing all this, he turned to Linglong Fairy, "Now this scumbag is yours. You can deal with him however you want."

With that, he waved his hand and led the others to step aside and watch quietly.

Geng Junsheng was utterly dumbfounded. He had just come with a sword to kill Xuan Yuan Linglong, but he never expected to fall into her hands so quickly, allowing her to control his life and death.

But there was nothing he could do now. He was a Great Supreme Immortal, but now he couldn't use any of his cultivation, and his strength was even less than that of Linglong Fairy, who had just undergone Ascension.

He hated Ye Bufan to death, gnashing his teeth. He never expected that behind Xuan Yuan Linglong stood such a powerful backer.

If he had known this, he would never have come down the mountain.

But now, it was too late to say anything. He had to face Xuan Yuan Linglong, whose expression was extremely grim.

"Linglong, actually, I was just lying to you. Senior Brother was just playing a joke with you.

You are my Junior Sister, I love you so much, how could I possibly kill you?"

This fellow was truly a talent. A brilliant smile appeared on his face, without the slightest hint of awkwardness, as if everything he said was true.

"Geng Junsheng, do you really take me for a fool?"

Linglong Fairy's expression was grim. "At that very moment, the former Xuan Yuan Linglong died. Now, I won't believe a single word you say."

"Linglong, don't be angry, I was wrong, I really was wrong!"

Seeing that he couldn't bluff his way through, Geng Junsheng immediately changed his demeanor, looking pitiful. "To be honest with you, all of this was what the Sect made me do. I was forced…"

He had only spoken halfway when Xuan Yuan Linglong's wide palm directly slapped his face.

"Shameless man!

I was truly blind back then. How could I have taken you as my Senior Brother, as the person I loved most, and sacrificed so much for you!"

Xuan Yuan Linglong was not a fool; in fact, she was an extremely intelligent woman. Her unconditional trust before was because she didn't want to doubt.

It was his cruel actions just now that were to blame. Now, trying to weave lies to deceive her again wouldn't be so easy.

Geng Junsheng's expression changed, and soon he put on another face.

"Alright then, it doesn't matter what you think, but back on the Kunlun Continent, I did save your life. By all accounts, you should let me off this time."

"Is that so? But the Xuan Yuan Linglong you saved has long since died."

Linglong Fairy didn't rush to act, but spoke softly, as if speaking to Geng Junsheng, and also as if speaking to herself.

"After you underwent Ascension back then, I felt like the sky had fallen, and that this world no longer held any meaning. I also wanted to quickly follow you, to reunite in the Immortal Realm.

But haste makes waste. My Foundation was not stable, and I ultimately perished under the heavenly lightning, leaving only a wisp of my Primordial Spirit.

Under my parents' utmost care, I barely lived for a thousand years, and finally had the good fortune to meet Ye Yixian.

It was he who remade my Physical Body with the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo; it was he who brought me back to life.

To be precise, the current Xuan Yuan Linglong is not the person you saved. This life of mine belongs to Ye Yixian."

Geng Junsheng was greatly shaken upon hearing this, and a stormy sea raged in his heart.

He was not shocked by Xuan Yuan Linglong's death, but by the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo.

As a Core Disciple of a top-tier Sect, he naturally knew the meaning of those four words.

This was a rare spiritual treasure between heaven and earth, a priceless treasure even in the Immortal Realm.

If people knew that the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo existed, the entire Immortal Realm would be engulfed in a bloody storm.

But he never expected that such a divine object would be squandered by Ye Bufan, used to recast Xuan Yuan Linglong's Physical Body.

However, after the shock, he immediately faced reality again and shouted, "What does your death during Undergoing Tribulation have to do with me? No matter what, you still owe me a life!"
