Chapter 257: The Seventh Princess' Plea for Help, Long Ao Jiao's Loss

"Soul Annihilation Needle?" Shi Qi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Mother, what's this?"

"Listen to your mother, and keep it safe!"

"In the future, if you encounter a formidable opponent in the Ethereal Realm, after defeating them, don't hold back!"

Shi Qi frowned. "My child is confident of being invincible. No one will be my child's match, whether in the past, present, or future."

"And those defeated by me will be left far behind, never catching up to or threatening my child!"

"Why go to such lengths...?"

His mother smiled. "My child is still young and doesn't understand some things. In any case... better safe than sorry!"

"..."

...

"This poisonous lady!" Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

He still remembered that in the original novel, the first one to covet Xiao Shitou's Sovereign Bone was Shi Hao.

But the one who took action was his own mother.

In the original novel, his mother died early and didn't have much screen time.

However, in the Immortal Martial Continent, Shi Qi's mother, a Twin-Eyed One, not only didn't die early but also became even more venomous, truly living up to the title of a Poisonous Lady!

"The Soul Destruction Needle should be able to kill people in the Ethereal Realm."

"Speaking of the Ethereal Realm, it's about to spread across the Immortal Martial Continent. The Northeast Domain has a head start, and we don't know much about it. We need to pay close attention to this matter."

"And we need to gather some intelligence, or else we might be at a disadvantage."

In Lin Fan's opinion, even though this Ethereal Realm might not be the same as the one in the original novel, it couldn't be ignored.

There were definitely benefits, and they weren't small.

...

Two days later.

Lin Fan was studying the final step of the Human Body Engraving Array.

He found that this thing was not as simple as it seemed.

Even with the shared talents and insights of numerous protagonist templates, disciples, and elders, it still took a lot of effort to barely complete it.

And this was just the theoretical completion.

He still needed to test it in practice, but he lacked some materials to do so.

"This is challenging!"

"Just the stability aspect alone has killed many of my brain cells."

Formation arrays were extremely precise methods.

To some extent, they could be likened to the circuits within a computer chip.

Precise!

Not only did they need to be precise, but they also had to be stable.

However, engraving a formation on the human body presented a significant stability issue, as the body underwent metabolism, gained weight, and lost weight...

This caused Lin Fan to encounter stability problems during his previous tests.

Perhaps the formation could function normally for a few days after engraving, but it would become useless after a few more days.

This was a significant problem.

Additionally, there were many other large and small issues awaiting his solution.

Finally, he had completed it theoretically.

"Since I'm not busy recently, I'll gather some materials to test it first."

"I don't want to waste Er Zonglao's formation skills. I feel like it's a waste."

Lin Fan's hands itched.

Fan Jianqiang's formation skills were genuinely impressive.

However, Lin Fan didn't want to use them directly.

It was easy to attract his attention! Once his ability to share their capabilities was exposed, it wouldn't be fun! And among them, Fan Jianqiang would be the easiest to notice.

Therefore, he must not use his formation skills directly.

But if it was 'engraved' on his body, he need not worry about being exposed.

After all, Fan Jianqiang himself didn't know how to do it, so he couldn't suspect that Lin Fan had 'stolen' it from him, right?

But just as Lin Fan was about to go out, Diana gracefully approached and said, "Master, Miss Long is here to see you."

"Let her in."

Long Ao Jiao?

What a rare guest!

Lin Fan was taken aback.

Although Long Ao Jiao had been living in the Lazy Moon Sect for the past two years, she had always been the one to seek him out for help. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to come to him.

"I have something to ask of you."

Long Ao Jiao treated Lin Fan as if they were close, directly sitting down on the guest seat with a plop, even crossing her legs, and her knee-high luminous socks glowed.

Her high-heeled boots made from the true skin of an eighth-rank magical beast were both eye-catching and exquisite.

She also had an innate charm that made people want to take a second look.

"I want to borrow some manpower from you to support the scene."

"Oh?"

Lin Fan smiled.

How wonderful!

In the past, we borrowed your 'hands', but now it's your turn to borrow our manpower?

Borrow, of course, borrow. What's the big deal about borrowing and returning?

"I won't ask for your help without giving something in return."

Long Ao Jiao was naturally not one to take advantage, and she said with a carefree attitude, "Let Ya Ya, Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Longnv, Huo Yun'er, and Er Zonglao come with me to the Huanyuan Immortal Dynasty."

"If you help me, I'll owe you a favor."

"If it's a matter of fighting, killing someone, or doing something, I'll return the favor. How's that?"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, "In theory, there shouldn't be a problem."

"But I have a question. Why are they all women?"

Lin Fan felt that Long Ao Jiao's request was dangerous!

It wasn't that the matter at hand was dangerous, but the fact that she wanted only women to accompany her was suspicious.

Moreover, it was fine if it was Ya Ya, Er Zonglao, and the others.

Even Xiao Longnv could be understood.

But Huo Yun'er...

Her strength wasn't considered strong. Even with her all-out effort, she was only at the seventh-rank level of combat power. With a pile of treasures, she could barely manage.

Even Huo Yun'er had to be called upon?

Lin Fan had reason to suspect that Long Ao Jiao might have truly become a lesbian.

Did she want to abduct them?

"I'm going to help my mistress. If I don't bring women, should I bring men instead?"

Long Ao Jiao snorted, "In your dreams!"

Lin Fan: "..."

"Which mistress are you talking about?"

"Naturally, it's the seventh princess of the Huanyuan Immortal Dynasty."

Long Ao Jiao raised her neck proudly, "I have many mistresses, but the only one who can make me care so much is her."

"This time, I want to see if I can help her ascend to that supreme position."

"If it's possible..."

"Hahaha! Once this young lady regains her male body, there will be an empress for the harem, hahaha!"

She burst into laughter.

Lin Fan and the others couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.

Wow, I'm so damn impressed!

Lin Fan asked, "So, did she ask you for help?"

"Yes!"

"..."

"Which identity will you use?"

"Of course, I'll say I'm Long Ao Tian's cousin."

Ya Ya offered a strategy, "After all, you, Long Ao Jiao, are already famous. There shouldn't be any major issues. Just make sure you don't slip up."

"It's settled then!"

Long Ao Jiao quickly agreed to the suggestion, saying, "I'll contact her immediately and tell her that my cousin, Long Ao Jiao, will lead a team there."

"Lin Fan, what are you staring at?"

"Hurry up and arrange the manpower!"

Lin Fan gave her a sidelong glance and said, "It's possible, but let me be clear. They are going to help, not to risk their lives. If the situation is unfavorable, their top priority must be to ensure their own safety."

"Any issues with that?"

"Reasonable!"

Long Ao Jiao indicated that there was no problem.

"When will we set off?"

"The sooner, the better!"

"..."

...

On their way to the Northern Domain, Xiao Ling'er felt a surge of emotion.

She, born in the Northern Domain!

But it had been several years since she last returned.

The Northern Domain was her hometown, but it was also a place of heartache.

"However, perhaps it's time to return.

"Huanyuan Immortal Dynasty, Xiao family!"

"It's time to cleanse them."

"That disgusting clan rule..."

"If it can't be changed, then it's time to annihilate it."

Northern Domain!

The group of six swiftly traveled through the air.

Although Long Ao Jiao had the ability to tear through space and teleport, she couldn't directly intrude into the immortal dynasty's interior, so they had to travel.

However, along the way, Long Ao Jiao suddenly stopped.

"Heaven Overthrowing Divine Fist!"

She took the initiative to attack, unleashing a powerful punch towards the rear of the team.

Xiao Ling'er and the others understood her intention and immediately dodged.

A deafening boom echoed as a massive fist imprint exploded forth, shattering the very stones and causing a shocking scene.

A 'shadow' that was following at the rear suddenly sprang into action, transforming into a human figure. With a single strike, it shattered the fist, and with cold eyes, it stared at the six of them.

"How did you discover me?"

He was an old man with white hair.

Though he appeared small and frail, he exuded an aura of vigor.

Within his diminutive frame of less than 1.5 meters, a tremendous energy seemed to be hidden.

His small, beady eyes were filled with a sharp gleam.

"Do you think you've done a perfect job?"

Long Ao Jiao stepped forward, and boundless light erupted from within her body, instantly boosting her combat power, "But in this young lady's eyes, it's as good as nothing!"

"Die!"

She launched an attack without hesitation.

Even Xiao Ling'er and Ya Ya, who wanted to step forward and lend a hand, were stopped by her.

"You don't need to intervene, just watch me slaughter him like a dog!"

"Arrogant!"

The thin old man chuckled, "Since that's the case, I'll send you on your way first."

Sizzle!

He brandished his knife.

The short blade in his hand was a special treasure. In an instant, he blurred time and space, and with a late-first strike, he fiercely slashed at Long Ao Jiao's forehead.

Then...

Long Ao Jiao's entire body was split in two, and her corpse became blurred.

"The first one."

The thin old man licked the short blade and grinned maliciously, "Next, it's your turn."

"We can't let him be lonely on the road to the underworld, can we?"

"Unfortunately, it's you who will be lonely."

Just as he was about to strike, a deathly murmur suddenly reached his ears.

The thin old man's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to retaliate, he suddenly felt the world spinning...

"Just an eighth-realm peak waste, and he dares to be so arrogant before me. Seeking death!"

Long Ao Jiao stomped on his head, crushed his divine soul, and coldly snorted.

"Do you recognize him?"

Elder Wu Xingyun frowned and asked.

"I've never seen him before." Long Ao Jiao shook her head, "The people I know, aren't they all considered Celestial Pride? What is this old thing? How could he possibly catch my eye?"

What a fake...

Everyone's eyes narrowed in disdain.

Wu Xingyun suppressed his anger and said, "We don't know him, but soon after we entered the Northern Domain, he caught up and tried to assassinate us. I'm afraid our whereabouts have already been exposed."

"And naturally, we wouldn't willingly expose our whereabouts."

"In other words, the situation with the Seventh Princess might not be good."

"Perhaps there's someone close to her who is two-faced."

Long Ao Jiao didn't like to use her brain when taking action.

Since everyone present was of the younger generation, Elder Wu Xingyun, as the only elder, naturally had to step up, analyze, and take control of the overall situation.

"!"

"Increase our speed."

After hearing Wu Xingyun's analysis, Long Ao Jiao finally realized the seriousness of the matter. She stopped her posturing and immediately demanded an increase in speed.

To avoid any accidents, they didn't even use the teleportation array again.

Instead, they occasionally used spatial teleportation while traveling.

After three days, they successfully met up with the person arranged by the Seventh Princess outside the Huanyuan Immortal Dynasty and, with their help, entered the dynasty without any major incidents.

Finally, they arrived at the Seventh Princess's residence and met with her.

"Long... sister, you're here."

"Cough, cough."

The Seventh Princess's face was haggard, and after a few dry coughs, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Long Ao Jiao's brows furrowed, "You're injured? Who did this?!"

"I... I was entrusted by my cousin to bring people to help. As for who did this, you'll know when you arrive."

"I'll definitely capture them and let you torture them!"

"I'm fine."

The Seventh Princess gave a bitter laugh, "It's just that my poor child..."

"???"

Poor... child?

Long Ao Jiao's mind went blank.

"What child?"

"Could it be that you and my... cousin, have had a child?"

"If it's not his, whose could it be?" The Seventh Princess's expression turned bitter, "In my life, I've only been intimate with him. Moreover, that night, he... he was like a stud..."

She caressed her belly, and her face turned slightly red, "Pah, beast."

"But I've wronged him, and I've wronged our child."

"Sigh."

Long Ao Jiao struggled to suppress her raging anger.

Damn it!

Even tigers don't eat their own cubs! She had a child, and she didn't even know about it, and now the child is gone?

Long Ao Jiao's eyes turned red, and she forced down her anger, "Tell me!"

"What exactly happened?"

"Who did this?!"

"Naturally, it was... my good brothers."

The Seventh Princess gave a bitter laugh, "Three years ago, my father entered closed-door cultivation to break through, but not only did he fail to ascend, he also suffered a severe Dao injury. He's beyond medical help and won't live for long."

"So I took this opportunity to break free from his control and refused the marriage alliance."

"And I wanted to gradually challenge for an even higher position."

"At first, no one paid attention to a small princess like me."

"After all, I'm just a woman, and before, I was merely a pawn for a political marriage. Even if I broke free from being a tool, what waves could I possibly make?"

"But I just didn't want to admit defeat!"

"I wanted to do better than anyone else!"

"After three years, I've won over many officials and powers."

"I'm already capable of standing up to my royal brothers and cousins!"

"I thought there would be a fair competitive environment."

"But I never expected that they would join hands to deal with me."

The Seventh Princess gave another bitter laugh and coughed up blood, "All their experts came out, and even though the guest scholars in my residence fought to protect me, they suffered heavy casualties. I was also severely injured, and not only did I fail to protect my child, but I also can't recover..."

"Later, I asked them why?"

"They said... that position doesn't belong to a woman."

"Hahaha, tell me, isn't this laughable?"

"The most ruthless are the royal families, the most ruthless are the royal families."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Xiao Ling'er and the others remained silent.

This kind of imperial struggle was distant from them.

But even just listening to a few sentences made them feel a chill run through their bodies.

Too cold!

"They deserve to die!"

Long Ao Jiao was completely enraged, "I'll kill them all!"

"What the hell, that position doesn't belong to a woman?"

"I don't believe it!"

"I'll kill them until their heads roll, and slaughter them all."

"Then, let's see who dares to speak nonsense and dare to lay a hand on my... sister-in-law!"
