An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 280

Within the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, the space is extremely unstable. Moreover, Yang Chen was visiting this land for the first time. So, he did not use spatial techniques to traverse the void.

Flying northward for about twenty to thirty thousand miles, Yang Chen was attracted by a brilliant glow. The glow was tri-colored, stretching across the sky, dreamlike and illusory. And the direction of the glow was exactly where the jade token was pointing.

At this moment, in a mountain range about a thousand miles away from Yang Chen. Yu Xuan held a blood jade dragon spear. The white palace-style long dress she wore had transformed into jade armor. Paired with her tall figure, she resembled a goddess of war. However, at this moment, Yu Xuan’s face was somewhat pale.

Moreover, there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Behind her, several Void Refining cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Holy Land were also bleeding from their mouths, clearly suffering serious injuries.

“King Yanbei, you dare to attack the cultivators of my Heavenly Dao Holy Land? Can your Great Yan Dynasty withstand the wrath of my Heavenly Dao Holy Land? At that time, even the Great Yan Emperor won’t be able to protect you!” Yu Xuan shouted angrily.

In front of her stood a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe.

“Though my Great Yan Dynasty is not as powerful as your Heavenly Dao Holy Land, this king’s cultivation far surpasses yours! The keys to the True Immortal Tomb—your Heavenly Dao Holy Land monopolizing two is too much! One key in the hands of Yu Zun is enough; you should hand over yours! Otherwise, don’t blame this king for showing no mercy!”

As the dragon-robed man spoke, waves of dragon roars emanated from him.

The aura of the eighth stage of Void Refining realm made Yu Xuan’s face turn deathly pale. Her beautiful eyes looked toward Yu Zun standing in the distance, a plea flashing in her gaze.

But Yu Zun said in a deep voice: “Xuan’er, you should hand over the key! With your strength, even if you enter the True Immortal Tomb, you won’t be able to compete with them!”

Yu Zun was also somewhat hesitant in his heart. The emergence of a True Immortal Tomb had attracted many cultivators. However, there were only eight keys to enter the True Immortal Tomb. Though he wanted to help his cousin keep her key and use the chance to show her who truly loved her, doing so would inevitably lead to a battle with King Yanbei.

King Yanbei was a cultivator at the eighth stage of Void Refining. Though he wasn’t afraid, if they fought, he would surely be injured. And nearby, several other late-stage Void Refining cultivators were watching like tigers. At that point, whether he could obtain the True Immortal inheritance would be uncertain.

The True Immortal inheritance here was something he absolutely had to obtain. Only by gaining the true inheritance could he hope to defeat that bastard Yang Chen. Otherwise, he’d be trampled under that bastard’s feet for life, and he’d rather die. So, he could only sacrifice his cousin.

“Fairy Yu Xuan, you heard it—your cousin told you to hand it over willingly!”

“This king’s patience is limited. Hurry up and hand over the key to the True Immortal Tomb!”

King Yanbei shouted in a deep voice.

A trace of despair flashed across Yu Xuan’s face.

With her strength at the third stage of Void Refining, she could perhaps dominate within the Heavenly Dao Holy Land.

But in the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, there were too many people stronger than her.

If not for the blood jade dragon spear given to her by the Holy Son, she wouldn’t have lasted this long.

Glancing at her fellow sect members behind her, gravely injured from helping her fend off King Yanbei, Yu Xuan finally took out the key to the True Immortal Tomb helplessly.

“Very good!”

Looking at the key radiating the aura of a True Immortal, a glint of pride and fervor flashed in King Yanbei’s eyes. He reached out to take it. But at that moment, a blood-colored sword light slashed through the sky toward him.

“Who’s there?” King Yanbei hurriedly retreated. But the blood-colored sword light transformed into a blood-colored river, engulfing him directly. Within the blood-colored river, endless sword intent surged.

The dragon robe on King Yanbei was instantly shredded by the sword intent. His body was immediately covered in countless bloody marks. Some were so deep that bone was visible. The blood river dissipated.

King Yanbei dropped to one knee, his aura weak, blood dripping from his mouth, clearly gravely injured.

“Such powerful sword intent! To injure King Yanbei with a single strike—he’s at the eighth stage of Void Refining!”

The surrounding crowd was filled with shock.

Even a peak Void Refining cultivator would struggle to injure an eighth-stage Void Refining cultivator with one strike. A streak of light flashed across the horizon, and Yang Chen’s figure appeared beside Yu Xuan.

Dressed in fluttering white robes, extraordinary and refined, he resembled an immortal.

“Holy Son!” Yu Xuan’s beautiful eyes were filled with delight.

“The Holy Son is here!”

“Greetings, Holy Son!”

The injured cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Holy Land hurriedly approached Yang Chen and bowed in respect.

“The Heavenly Dao Holy Son?”

“The one rumored to have defeated Yu Zun at the first stage of Void Refining?”

“But now, it seems he’s only at the fifth stage of Void Refining!”

The gazes of the surrounding cultivators turned to Yang Chen, tinged with wariness. Though he appeared to be only at the fifth stage of Void Refining, his cultivation wasn’t high.

But that single strike just now—King Yanbei couldn’t even withstand it.

“Damn it!”  Yu Zun’s gaze toward Yang Chen was filled with jealousy and hatred. This damned bastard, arriving at just the right moment. And his strength had actually risen from the first stage to the fifth stage of Void Refining.

His cousin must now be …

Yu Zun looked at Yu Xuan, only to see her staring at Yang Chen’s back with sparkling, adoring eyes.

That look was just short of offering herself to him.

Bastard!

Yu Zun gritted his teeth, his gaze ferocious.

“Holy Son, this place is a True Immortal Tomb, and that True Immortal is suspected to be the Aurora Dao Master from ancient times! In ancient times, True Immortals coexisted, and those recorded in history were the strongest among them! This tomb has opened, and there are eight keys—only those holding a key can enter! Holy Son, this is the one I obtained! My strength is weak, and I can’t compete for the opportunities. It’s better if you enter, Holy Son!” As Yu Xuan spoke, she handed the key radiating immortal light to Yang Chen.

This scene made Yu Zun’s eyes turn red with rage. She’d rather die than hand over that key earlier. But now, she willingly gave it to Yang Chen.

Bitch, what a bitch.
