Chapter 2194 - 2190: Rescuing Lan Jing

Xi He didn’t return to the Pan Gu realm, instead, she went to search for Lan Jing.

In her view, the importance of Lan Jing in the entire celestial calamity was comparable to Ye Fan, maybe even more crucial. After all, Lan Jing is the true chosen one.

But it wasn’t easy for her to find Lan Jing; she had no clue where Lan Jing was at this moment.

"Could it be that something happened to Lan Jing? From what I guess, others will definitely try to exploit the power within Lan Jing, and the most likely to do this is Lei Zu. This woman is simply crazy!"

Many times, Xi He didn’t want to confront Lei Zu, because there were many emotional entanglements between her and Lei Zu.

After becoming Ye Fan’s servant, she no longer thought about the past, but since at this time Lei Zu was still using Ye Fan to do things, and even signed a Blood Oath with Ye Fan, Xi He knew that some things were unavoidable, especially anything directly involving Lei Zu.

"I can only look for her. Whatever she wants to use Lan Jing for, I can’t let her succeed. Lan Jing is the weapon the master discovered to counteract the celestial forces. If Lan Jing can’t be utilized well, then there really might not be any chances left!"

After saying this, Xi He directly went to the depths of the cosmos. At this moment she sensed Lei Zu’s location, and to her, this woman still held some unspeakable value. She even planted much of her own power and marks on Lei Zu to easily locate her without needing to exert her cultivation.

Soon, she appeared before Lei Zu, and to Xi He’s expectation, Lan Jing was also there.

When Lan Jing saw Xi He, she seemed as though she had found a savior, and she said, "Please help me. This woman... she’s forcing me to find Ye Fan, but I can’t find him at all."

"Shut up!" Lei Zu, already anxious and angry, became even more furious upon seeing Xi He, because this woman was the last person she wanted to see.

Xi He appeared very calm as she said, "Lei Zu, why trouble the chosen one? Do you want the master to punish or even kill you?"

"Don’t scare me. Although I know the celestial calamity has started, I also know it’s absolutely related to Ye Fan. Ye Fan won’t harm the women around him, so... I am very safe, but whether my daughter is safe is hard to say." Lei Zu almost gritted her teeth as she said, "If you still have a bit of humanity, you shouldn’t obstruct me but help me. Now, either find Ye Fan or find my daughter..."

Xi He shook her head and said, "You are too stubborn. Your cultivation is rapidly dissipating because you battled the avatars of Pan Gu and Nuwa before, and you escaped them because they intentionally let you go, wanting you to complete something for them."

"What are you talking about? I don’t understand at all! Besides, I wasn’t imprisoned by those two..." Lei Zu angrily replied.

"Maybe not explicitly, but almost, because I felt Pan Gu’s power on you. Pan Gu can find you anytime, and he wants to find your daughter as well, for reasons entirely different from yours. Can you guess what his purpose is?" Xi He spoke with a disdainful tone, as if Lei Zu was completely being used by Pan Gu, seemingly mocking her.

This made Lei Zu very angry, and she said, "It’s not your place to interfere with my affairs, Xi He. You have no regard for emotions. Back then, you just had to imprison me, during the time when the ancient mighty ones were asleep. What was the point of imprisoning me? You even targeted my daughter back then. Is it too much to ask you to help me find my daughter now?"

Xi He sighed helplessly, "Playing on emotions has no meaning to me now. Times change, and I admit that what I did to you back then was somewhat excessive, but I won’t atone for it because many things were brought upon yourself!"

"Brought upon myself? Do I need to obey you to avoid bringing it upon myself?" Lei Zu said furiously, "I never loved you in the first place and could never see you as my own partner. Your current identity only proves I was right all along. After meeting Ye Fan, all your previous persistence dissolved into nothing. Do you still say this to me now? If you don’t want to help me, then kill me, because I will definitely not let this little girl go!"

Lei Zu was very angry, as if she had been betrayed emotionally. Her attitude towards Lan Jing was almost cruel.

Even if she couldn’t find her daughter, she wanted to use Lan Jing as a hostage. If she couldn’t threaten Ye Fan with her, then she would use her to leverage against Xi He.

Xi He shook her head sadly, "It seems you’re still fixated, so don’t blame me for showing no mercy!"

Just when Lei Zu felt something was not quite right, Xi He had already acted, quietly and without a sound. Lei Zu always believed that after regaining her power, her cultivation was close to Xi He’s, and at least Xi He couldn’t launch a surprise attack on her successfully while she held a hostage.

But she clearly didn’t anticipate that Xi He’s cultivation had also made a rapid advance, which caught Lei Zu off guard.

"You..." Lei Zu only managed to utter a word before she was completely controlled by Xi He, without even the slightest ability to resist.

Looking at the result before her, Xi He said helplessly, "I told you, it’s best not to test my limits. Over the years, I admit I have been too lenient with you. Perhaps at the time, I wanted to win back your affection, but now it seems my choice was entirely wrong. From the beginning, I should have made you submit directly. Only then would you know who truly cares for you, but you... you’re simply an unsatisfied woman!"

"Hmm..." Lei Zu wanted to say something, but Xi He wouldn’t give her any chance to speak now.

At this moment, Lan Jing quickly went to Xi He and gratefully said, "Thank you... you saved me."

"I don’t want to explain too much to you. You were merely chosen by the master as his substitute. What you need to do now is return to the Pan Gu realm with me. I have some tasks for you..." Xi He said, "But don’t worry, I won’t force you like Lei Zu does, because what I want you to do will help the master, help yourself, and help ordinary people in the Pan Gu realm. This is your mission!"
