【Seeing the three wishes above Qin Xihe’s head, Ye Yu’s expression turned very strange.】
【“A spotless twenty thousand years—what a loyal Immortal Lord you are. Quite surprising, though.】
【Given Qin Xihe’s stunning appearance, there must be no shortage of immortals interested in her; to remain pure for twenty thousand years is no easy feat.”】
【As for the third wish, that’s a bit much.】
【“You’re the Immortal Lord, yet you want to control the feelings of the immortals within the sect?”】
【“The seven emotions and six desires are normal. With so many fairies in Yixing Pavilion, can you really turn them all away from Elder Liu?”】
【Ye Yu couldn’t help but sneer slightly, and at the same time caught a strange faint fragrance, turning to see the incense beside him.】
【It was somewhat provocative—this must be the Chaun Chun Incense Qin Xihe mentioned.】
【Ye Yu’s mind shifted, and in an instant, sword qi surged, extinguishing the Chaun Chun Incense abruptly.】
【Seizing this moment, Yao Bujian tried the same trick, pulling out a yellow talisman and preparing to take Qin Xihe away again.】
【It wasn’t that he lacked the courage to fight to the death—he was just in a hurry now.】
【But how could Ye Yu let him leave so easily? Instantly, Ye Yu raised his sword finger and unleashed the Divine-Ghost Formation Diagram.】
【A black formation suddenly appeared under Yao Bujian’s feet.】
【The next moment, a chilling aura surged as countless vines sprouted and tightly bound Yao Bujian’s body, immobilizing him completely.】
【Beside him, Li Gouzi, controlled by the Divine Control Mind Technique, immediately seized the opportunity and thrust out a sword.】
【Seeing this, Yao Bujian expended immense immortal power, breaking the vines around him, and deployed his life treasure, the Qian Kun Jade Ruyi, to block Li Gouzi’s sword.】
【He then charged toward Qin Xihe again.】
【But the mind-controlled Li Gouzi had become a battle machine, transforming his body into a sword beam and charging forward.】
【In open space, Yao Bujian would have easily dodged the sword beam.】
【But inside the cramped Blessed Land Cave Heaven, coupled with his special physical condition and the massive expenditure of immortal power,】
【Yao Bujian couldn’t perfectly evade, and a bloody hole was pierced through his right shoulder.】
【Still, he used this chance to kill Li Gouzi.】
【Severely injured, Yao Bujian gasped heavily, staring warily at the calm Ye Yu opposite him.】
【Within Yixing Pavilion, this kid was a Celestial Immortal; now he’d transformed into a Golden Immortal and somehow used Li Gouzi as his tool.】
【All these deeds were utterly incredible.】
【Yao Bujian finally decided to abandon Qin Xihe and retreat first; he’d avenge later after recovering.】
【He feigned an attack with the Qian Kun Jade Ruyi and fled toward the Blessed Land Cave Heaven’s outer area.】
【Ye Yu didn’t stop him at all.】
【Yao Bujian frowned slightly: “Could it be I guessed wrong?”】
【From start to finish, this kid was all bluff—he wasn’t confident against me.】
【That’s why he let me leave so easily?”】
【Though suspicious, he decided to retreat first for safety.】
【But the moment he stepped outside the Blessed Land Cave Heaven,】
【the surroundings instantly changed dramatically.】
【The bright outside suddenly became extremely dark.】
【The next second, star-like lights appeared over a hundred-mile area on the ground and gathered into a huge formation pattern.】
【So Ye Yu hadn’t chased him because he had laid a formation outside in advance?】
【Yao Bujian’s face turned extremely ugly. Before he could react, a bright light appeared ahead.】
【A godly figure appeared, eyes closed, sword planted upright.】
【The figure rapidly expanded in size.】
【Within two breaths, the godly body was still over ten thousand feet tall.】
【“Punish!”】
【The voice was like a mighty bell. The god’s eyes suddenly opened, and with a sword slash,】
【Yao Bujian died on the spot, his Dao extinguished.】
【With his death, Qin Xihe’s immortal energy restraints were completely lifted.】
【Ye Yu also heard a familiar voice.】
【“Detected completion of Qin Xihe’s first blue wish.”】
【“Reward: Thousand Dream Illusion Technique (Minor Success).”】
【Thousand Dream Illusion Technique: Has a chance to cause opponents to hallucinate and enter dreams.】
【The higher the mental defense, the lower the chance and duration; the lower the defense, the higher the chance and duration.】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu was pleased—this was indeed a marvelous technique.】
【If cast properly and unexpectedly, it would surely be effective.】
【But why only minor success, not full mastery?】
【Oh, right, it’s just a simple blue wish; minor success is normal.】
【Before Ye Yu could ponder further, the blushing Qin Xihe came before him and embraced him directly.】
【Wait, what was going on?】
【Could this be the legendary Chaun Chun Incense effect?】
【Tsk tsk, judging by the name, Yao Bujian was pretty lame. Not firm at all, but this incense was really impressive!】
【An Immortal Lord stooping to play such low tricks—how tasteless!】
【Seeing Qin Xihe’s dazed eyes, Ye Yu thought for a moment, then gently pushed her away.】
【It’s not that he wouldn’t take meat off the table.】
【Some things, though, must be mutual. Taking advantage of someone in distress was just too despicable.】
【Moreover, Qin Xihe strictly followed the ancestral rules and regarded him as an enemy. If he acted now, she’d surely be devastated upon sobering and might even want to kill him.】
【That was something Ye Yu didn’t want to see.】
【So he snapped his fingers, imprisoning her inside this Blessed Land Cave Heaven,】
【and used the Thousand Dream Illusion Technique on her.】
【Perhaps Qin Xihe was in a special state, for a single use succeeded immediately.】
【Then Ye Yu went straight to the Blessed Land Cave Heaven’s perimeter, sat cross-legged, and waited quietly.】
【The next day.】
【Ye Yu heard a shout.】
【Just as he turned, an immortal sword suddenly appeared before him.】
【He saw Qin Xihe staggering out of the Blessed Land Cave Heaven. At this moment, she had changed into a new robe and was looking at him with grief and anger.】
【“Why did you do this?”】
【Ye Yu was confused and quickly asked: “What did I do?”】
【Qin Xihe clenched her fists and said solemnly: “Yes, it’s true—you saved me, and I’m grateful. But why couldn’t you remove the Chaun Chun Incense’s effect another way?”】
【“I really...”】
【At this point, Qin Xihe could say no more. Her eyes reddened, and a tear slowly slid down her cheek.】
【Ye Yu raised his hand, caught the immortal sword, and moved it aside, saying coldly: “Please don’t slander me, thank you!”】
