Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Lin Che chuckled, raised his hand and ruffled Hongdie and Li Muwan's hair, his fingertips tracing her flushed earlobe:

"Silly girl, the dangers beyond the boundary are far beyond your imagination. The cultivators under the Master are all desperate men. How could I bear to let you go on such a risk?"

"Besides, Vermilion Bird Star needs you to guard it. This is our root. Only with you here can I have the confidence to come back."

Li Muwan raised her head, her eyes slightly red, but she did not refute him. She simply reached out and put a warm pill into his mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and a sweet spiritual energy slid down the throat into the body, instantly soothing the fatigue throughout the body.

"This is a Mind-Concentrating Pill. It can help stabilize your mind and provide more protection even if you encounter inner demons outside the realm."

Li Muwan said softly.

Her fingertips traced across his chest.

"I will refine some more Rejuvenating Pills. Take them with you. If you need more, just send me a message and I will send them to you immediately."

Lin Che felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he watched Wan'er busy for him. He reached out and pulled them back into his arms, resting his chin on the top of Li Muwan's head, feeling the warm breath of the person in his arms.

"Alright, I'll do whatever you say. Once I've killed the Sect Master, I'll come back and watch every sunset on Vermilion Bird Star with you, and we'll never be apart again."

The setting sun outside the window gradually sank, and the last rays of light fell on the three people's clasped hands.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of their breathing mingling together, as gentle as a dream they didn't want to wake up from.

…………

Outside the boundary, inside a magnificent palace.

Of the five ancient venerables, four besides the Wondrous Sound Dao Venerable appeared here: the Palm Venerable, the Blue Dream Dao Venerable, the Void God Dao Venerable, and the Nine Heavens Demon Venerable.

As the most powerful being, the Master was staring coldly at the broken jade slip, his eyes filled with resentment.

"As you can see, the soul jade slip of Daoist Miaoyin is broken, which means he died tragically at the hands of the enemy. Moreover... he recently said he was looking for that brat Lin Che. I can't think of anyone else who could have killed him besides Lin Che."

Lanmeng Daozun glanced at the shattered soul jade slip and said calmly, "I already said last time that Lin Che is not as simple as you think. You insisted on killing him, and now you're afraid?"

The Venerable Master clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white, and the surge of spiritual energy around him caused the candlelight in the hall to flicker violently.

"Fear? I have never been afraid! She was just a cultivator in the early stage of the Void Profound Realm. Killing Miaoyin was merely a fluke!"

The Sect Master's eyes were sinister as he swept his gaze over the other three, and he said indifferently, "Now that Miaoyin is dead, if we don't act quickly, Lin Che's cultivation will increase further, and he will surely become a great threat in the future!"

The Void God Daoist sat upright to one side, his fingertips casually tapping the armrest, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.

"The Master is right. Lin Che must have obtained some kind of opportunity to kill Miao Yin. If we let him grow, the balance between the inside and outside of the realm may be broken, and it will be difficult for us to take action then."

The Nine Heavens Demon Lord echoed, "I agree. Why don't the four of us join forces, head into the realm immediately, and crush Vermilion Bird Star to dust, annihilating that brat Lin Che and eliminating any future troubles!"

Lanmeng Daozun shook his head. When Lin Che fought against them before, he displayed unimaginable combat power. Now that they were enemies again, it would only bring him more trouble.

Moreover, this guy was able to kill Daoist Miaoyin, which means his strength has reached the Void Profound Realm. It's best to avoid contact with such talent to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble upon oneself. "Daoist Lanmeng, what are you thinking? Don't you want to intervene in this matter?"

Listening to the words of the Sect Master, Daoist Lanmeng stroked the rim of the teacup with his fingertips. His indifferent eyebrows and eyes were reflected in the glassy tea. After a long while, he slowly spoke.

"It's not that I don't want to interfere, but that I'm unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices."

Lan Meng Daozun raised his eyes and swept them over the three people in the hall, his tone carrying a hint of coldness, "Miaoyin is at the mid-stage of the Void Profound Realm, yet he couldn't even stop Lin Che, who is at the early stage of the Void Profound Realm. Haven't you ever thought about what makes him capable of doing it?"

These words caused the three masters to pause for a moment.

The Nine Heavens Demon Lord frowned, demonic energy surging at his fingertips: "Could it be that he's hiding some trump card? He's only at the early stage of the Void Profound Realm. Even with the help of a magic weapon, it shouldn't be this outrageous!"

"Outrageous?"

Lanmeng Daozun chuckled lightly, gently placed the teacup on the table, and said disdainfully, "Back then, during the battle in the secret realm within the world, it was already an anomaly that he was able to escape from the encirclement of the four of us."

"Now that he has gained another ten years of opportunity, even the Immortal Emperor Qinglin is willing to accompany him back to Vermilion Bird Star. Do you think he doesn't have a stronger force supporting him?"

Lanmeng Daozun changed the subject, her gaze falling on Zhangzun: "Zhangzun, you always say he was lucky, but if it really was just luck, why did you fail to kill him in your several attempts to ambush him? Didn't the three early-stage Void Profound cultivators you sent last time also perish at his hands?"

The sect leader's face grew increasingly gloomy, but he could not refute it. He had indeed targeted Lin Che several times back then, but each time the other party had resolved the situation in various ways, and he had even lost many of his subordinates.

At this moment, the Void God Daoist spoke, his fingertips ceasing their tapping on the armrest: "Does Daoist Lanmeng mean that we should investigate thoroughly before taking action?"

"Exactly."

Lanmeng Daozun nodded and said calmly, "Send a few cultivators skilled in concealment to the realm to investigate Lin Che's opportunities over the past ten years, find out the defenses of Vermilion Bird Star, and whether he truly has a powerful figure helping him."

“If he is alone, it is not too late for us to join forces and flatten Vermilion Bird Star. But if there is a powerful expert behind him who can set up the Void Tribulation Formation, we will only repeat the same mistake as Miaoyin if we go there rashly.”

Although the Nine Heavens Demon Lord was anxious, he knew that Lan Meng Dao Zun was right, so he could only suppress his killing intent: "How long will it take to investigate? We can't keep waiting!"

"Not long."

Lanmeng Daozun raised his hand and summoned a cultivator, handing him a black jade slip. He said calmly, "Send the Shadow Guards. They are skilled in infiltration and will surely bring back news within three days."

The Sect Leader looked at the jade slip, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Alright, we'll wait three days. If, after three days, we find that Lin Che is alone, we will immediately send troops to raze Vermilion Bird Star to the ground!"

The candlelight flickered inside the hall, and the four people's eyes met, an invisible tension filling the air.

However, Daoist Lanmeng had no intention of taking action himself, since he had never thought of killing Lin Che.

Offending Lin Che is not a wise choice, and it may even lead to his own death.

Rather than doing that, it's better to leave directly, reduce the karmic consequences, and avoid causing unnecessary trouble for yourself, or even being completely destroyed.

Lanmeng Daozun slowly stood up, one hand behind his back, and looked towards the position of the Sect Master, saying indifferently, "Sect Master, take care of yourself." (End of this chapter)
