Chapter 68: Successfully Secured the Runaway Starter Pack

The ripples of the Void Realm had not yet dissipated, and Lin Fan had just vanished with Lin Chen.

The crowd was still too stunned to recover.

Suddenly—a deep, clear, yet unmasked voice resounded across heaven and earth, like a thunderclap, rolling through every corner of the altar:

"Zhao Yan, Tianxuan, Master has already snatched the person for you. Why are you not leaving yet?"

At this moment, the expressions of all experts above the God King level changed.

This voice was not a secret transmission, but—a public announcement!

Zhao Yan's pupils constricted, his body shuddered, and upon returning to his senses, he was completely dumbfounded.

Tianxuan's mouth hung open, looking as if he were doubting his own life: "He… what did he say?"

Zhao Yan's Adam's apple bobbed: "He said… he snatched her for us."

The two looked at each other, suddenly realizing something, and a blazing light erupted in their eyes simultaneously.

"Master, you… you are too good!"

At this time, General Zhang Fei looked shocked, patted Zhao Yun's shoulder, and grinned:

"Zilong, this new God King is truly genuine! In my opinion—he's someone worth associating with!"

Zhao Yun chuckled softly, his eyes carrying rare complexity and admiration: "He, indeed, has the qualifications to be the God King."

On the side, the Dao Alliance veterans who had just been forcing the palace were twitching, their faces and mouths convulsing.

They were bleeding in their hearts.

Those "gift monies" given to support the wedding were now all wasted.

But who would dare ask the God King for a refund?

A Guangwu Heavenly Venerable with a beard reaching his chest coughed, waved his sleeve abruptly, and changed his tune:

"Ahem! This money… since it's given, let it be! Just consider it—a tribute to the God King!"

"Right, right, right!" Another Grand Elder forced a smile, "The Dragon Soul Holy Domain, they are our own people, our own people, we cannot fuss over these trivial matters."

"Understood, we can distinguish clearly!"

Everyone was smiling on the lips, but bleeding in their hearts.

On this side, Xue Yao held her forehead, smiling bitterly and whispering: "Master's move this time, even I was deceived."

Liu Pianpian gritted her teeth: "Brother Xuanning… you were also tricked out of a wedding!"

The Dragon Princess Ao Qing hugged Divine Son Liu Xuanning's arm and smiled sweetly: "But it doesn't matter, we are still here~"

Divine Son Liu Xuanning stood rooted to the spot, his expression having gone from confusion → anger → doubting life → blankness.

—This wedding was a setup from beginning to end.

He had been used as an actor, and in the end, the stage was dismantled before he could even take off his costume.

Above the altar, a trace of golden light remained.

Poetry Immortal Yu Xuanji stood on high, the corners of her mouth curling up, and sighed softly: "Lin Fan, you have finally come…"

[Deep in the Void Realm passage]

Lin Fan held Lin Chen's hand, stepped into the Void Realm rift, the red silk still fluttering behind him, while this "wedding" that shook the entire Immortal Realm had been completely turned upside down.

Suddenly, a long-lost milky voice rang in his mind—

"Ding! Congratulations to the Young Master for successfully running away, you have secured a 64,800 Heavenly Dao luxury package!"

"Counting resources—"

[The gains this time are as follows]

Immortal Crystals: 200 million pieces

Three Saint-Rank Cultivation Techniques (including pseudo-forbidden arts)

Two Immortal Rank Magic Treasures (one of which was a gift from the Dao Alliance)

Three Nine-Turn Golden Lotuses, one Vine of Time

Spiritual Vein contract scroll (the treasure at the bottom of the Taiwei Divine Sect's box)

One page of the "Questioning Heaven Chapter" personally transcribed by the Dao Ancestor

And… one Immortal Realm Marriage Token (can mobilize a direct combat regiment of the Taiwei Divine Sect)

After the announcement, Xiao Du snorted coldly:

"Those old foxes of the Taiwei Divine Sect, are they trying to fool the Young Master with just these things?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly: "It's enough, I already feel very guilty."

Just then, the Void Realm behind them fluctuated, and two familiar auras approached rapidly.

Zhao Yan and Tianxuan rushed in, their clothes half-disheveled, panting: "Master!!"

Lin Fan hadn't reacted yet when Xiao Du added in his mind:

"If you really reveal your identity, these two will become depressed."

Lin Fan gritted his teeth, his true form faded away, and he instantly switched back to the appearance of Su Xiaoxiao, reappearing softly and tenderly.

"Master has important matters to attend to, you must treat this young lady well."

Zhao Yan looked at Su Xiaoxiao—his eyes full of shame:

"Master, for our sake… was willing to ruin his reputation and snatch the bride for his disciples! I, Zhao Yan, in this life, will only follow your lead!"

Tianxuan's eyes also reddened: "From now on, this cultivation of mine will fight for Master."

Lin Fan: "…"

Xiao Du: "Look at what you've done, they really treat you like a living Bodhisattva."

Lin Fan gritted his teeth silently, bleeding in his heart:

"I just wanted to run away…"

[On the other side, above a certain high heaven in the Immortal Realm]

Inside the Dao Ancestor Hall, starlight flowed, and cloud patterns surged like tides.

Many important officials of the Immortal Realm were seated in this hall; the Dao Alliance's highest council had quietly convened.

The God King ran away, snatched the bride, and disappeared after abandoning the altar—this was the most unpredictable variable in the entire Immortal Realm for nearly ten thousand years.

The Law Enforcement Elder slapped the table in anger: "He is openly defying orders! Tearing up the will of the Divine Alliance in public, what will the world think of the Dao Alliance?"

Another red-robed Elder looked gloomy: "Such an unstable seed should have been pulled out long ago."

"The God King… is protecting his own to this extent?"

"Kidnapping people, running away, abandoning the position, is the next step to rebel?"

Just as everyone was discussing, a cold snort suddenly rang out.

"But he is a person of our Dragon Soul Holy Domain!"

As soon as the voice fell, a palm slammed onto the jade table, General Zhang Fei's black face glared angrily, his voice shaking the entire hall.

"I don't understand your set of principles, commandments, and rules. Whatever reputation, whatever Bloodline Legacy, in my eyes, Old Zhang, it's all worthless."

"Whoever dares to touch him—I, Old Zhang, will be the first to disagree!"

At this moment, the air in the hall seemed to solidify.

Just when everyone looked solemn, Zhao Yun slowly walked out, in silver armor, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, his aura like a divine mountain descending.

He stood before the Elders and spoke calmly:

"If you really want to touch him, then start with our Dragon Soul Holy Domain."

The whole place was dead silent.

The starlight didn't move.

Old Zhuge half-closed his eyes and whispered:

"Forget it… forget it… let's discuss this later."

[At this time, Lingshan Secret Realm · Sunset Dyeing the Bamboo Forest]

Su Xiaoxiao was dressed in white, lazily leaning against Lin Chen's knees, her expression delicate and soft, looking like a "bitter woman who was snatched away."

Lin Chen had a headache: "You've been playing this drama queen act for three days."

Su Xiaoxiao was righteous and confident: "I am a victim, rightfully defending my rights, I must act to the end."

As she spoke, the bamboo forest moved slightly, and a silver-haired figure broke through the air.

Zhao Yan appeared, his expression cold, but his eyes hid uncontrollable tenderness: "Miss Su, the Void Divine Palace has prepared a place for you to live, willing to protect you."

Su Xiaoxiao turned, hiding behind Lin Chen, and pointed at her: "I only listen to her, wherever she goes, I go."

Zhao Yan frowned slightly, looking at Lin Chen, his voice low and hoarse: "But I…"

Lin Chen raised her hands in surrender: "Don't look at me, it's too late for me to run away now."

The scene was momentarily stagnant.

At this moment, the jade mirror at Su Xiaoxiao's waist rang softly.

A familiar and anxious female voice came:

"Master, we are currently subduing Zixia Due Port, but are blocked by the Haotian Ancient Clan. The other side has a Saint-Rank Formation Master stationed there, Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother… are trapped in crisis, please Master, take action!"

It was Jiang Yueshi's transmission!

Su Xiaoxiao's lips sank, and she instantly switched from "drama queen" to "superior".

She whispered: "Zixia Due Port… it's the Haotian Ancient Clan again."

That was the intersection of the seven great profound veins of the outside world, the ring with the strongest impact of the Profound Dao source tide, and the only node connecting the Upper and Lower Realms.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Yan, her eyes curving into crescent shapes: "Don't you like me?"

Zhao Yan was startled. "Yes…"

Su Xiaoxiao said softly: "Then I have a task for you."

"Help me retake Zixia Due Port."

She paused, her eyes growing cold and, in a milky-fierce tone, said: "Clean and neat, those who resist, leave no survivors."

Zhao Yan bowed his head and clasped his fists, a solemn salute: "Yes."

He turned and broke through the air, his back decisive, his killing intent chilling.

Su Xiaoxiao watched him leave, smiled lightly, and leaned back on Lin Chen:

"You say… am I too ruthless?"

Lin Chen rubbed her head: "Don't worry, you are beautifully ruthless."
