Chapter 583 - 415: Pill Snatching, Time Realm, Xiaobai Takes Action

In just a few breaths, an immense oppressive force descended upon the Celestial Soaring Palace.

Lin Chang’sheng, knowing Wu Hao and the others had arrived, immediately walked out from the Alchemy Room.

Outside stood several people at this moment, including Wu Hao and his daughter, as well as three Mahayana-stage powerhouses—Huang Peng among them.

Perhaps in Wu Hao’s eyes, killing Lin Chang’sheng needed no such spectacle; so only half of the six Mahayana cultivators had shown up.

Lin Chang’sheng might be a genius, but in Wu Hao’s presence, he was just an ant—crushing him would be effortless.

"Lin Chang’sheng, I’ll ask you one last time. Are you willing to marry my daughter?"

Wu Hao cut straight to the point.

If Lin Chang’sheng refused, then he’d only have himself to blame.

As soon as those words left his lips, Hou Shaojie and Zhao Shuang’Er both felt their hearts leap to their throats.

If Lin Chang’sheng declined, he’d likely face the wrath of a Tribulation Crossing-stage powerhouse!

That’s not something an Integration Stage Cultivator could possibly endure.

"No."

Lin Chang’sheng answered resolutely, his words crisp and clear.

Instantly, the atmosphere plummeted to freezing point.

"Kid, you don’t know what’s good for you. Becoming the Celestial Emperor City’s imperial son-in-law would be your honor. Since you’re courting death, I’ll oblige!"

Huang Peng spat out coldly.

He’d already intended to eliminate Lin Chang’sheng; after all, he knew Lin carried plenty of treasures. Killing him meant reaping them all.

Violent primordial power gathered in Huang Peng’s hands, about to erupt and strike.

Lin Chang’sheng simply waved a hand and summoned Xiaonan.

Though Xiaonan couldn’t take down a Tribulation Crossing powerhouse, handling Mahayana cultivators was a breeze.

As soon as Xiaonan appeared, she revealed her true form—a massive serpent body instantly coiling and collapsing the Alchemy Room.

Four enormous snake heads fixed their gaze ahead at Huang Peng and the others, eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

It was unclear if Xiaonan was closer to Xiaobai now, or just had stronger cultivation, but her Qilin Armor was now a dark brown, looking nearly impenetrable, as tough as dragon scale.

Even Mahayana cultivators would have a hard time breaking through Xiaonan’s Qilin Armor.

"A—a Spirit Beast?"

Huang Peng’s heart trembled; he could feel the threat radiating off this spirit beast.

This was not a creature he could kill.

He hadn’t expected Lin Chang’sheng to have such a powerful guardian, no wonder he was so bold.

But even if this spirit beast could stand against Mahayana cultivators, facing Wu Hao, a Tribulation Crossing powerhouse, was another matter.

"You think having a spirit beast means I can’t deal with you?"

Wu Hao’s voice went cold.

This spirit beast was impressive, but subduing it would just take some effort.

"I ask Your Majesty to reconsider—if you insist on killing me, you’d make an enemy of the Immortal Palace. That holds no benefit for you. If you’d rather make peace, I’m willing to offer the only Divine Healing Pill I just refined, as compensation."

Lin Chang’sheng responded. In truth, he had more than just one Divine Healing Pill refined.

If terms could be amiable, Lin Chang’sheng would gladly hand one over.

The reason he’d dared refuse the marriage was because he had the means to back out.

If not, he’d never be so foolish—when it came down to life and death, survival came first.

If Wu Hao still insisted on killing him, he’d have to escape using the Teleportation Array.

The surrounding crowd, hearing Lin Chang’sheng’s words, immediately hesitated.

He wasn’t wrong; if Lin Chang’sheng was killed, the Immortal Palace would never let it slide.

After all, Lin Chang’sheng was once the target of the Immortal Palace Order—it showed his value.

Wu Hao wavered; even with a spirit beast shielding Lin Chang’sheng, he was confident he could kill him.

But if he only got a single Holy Pill out of it, it clearly wasn’t worth it.

Especially since Lin Chang’sheng just said—if they chose alliance, he’d voluntarily offer a Holy Pill as compensation.

"In that case, hand over the Holy Pill, and I will—"

"Hahahahaha—"

Just as Wu Hao was about to make peace, a sneering man and woman’s laughter echoed from afar.

The crowd turned to look, only to see two shadowy figures, one black and one white, streaking toward them.

Imperial City Guards pursuing them only got close enough to be slaughtered with ease.

"My sister and I waited out there long enough. Never thought a Tribulation Crossing powerhouse would still be such a coward. Since you don’t dare kill him, we’ll do it for you. You take the elixir, his corpse is ours—how about it?"

Hei Yu sneered.

This Wu Hao was useless—how could a Tribulation Crossing strongman hesitate at all?

If they let Lin Chang’sheng go now, he’d become a major threat later.

Not to mention, if he could now refine Holy Pills, soon he’d be able to refine Emperor Pills too!

"Who the hell are you? Such nerve, barging into our Imperial Palace’s forbidden grounds!"

Seeing the two, Huang Peng shouted in rebuke.

"If I’m not mistaken, these two should be the Black and White Double Assassins from the Celestial Nether Sword Sect!"

Behind Wu Hao, another Mahayana-stage powerhouse spoke up.

"From Celestial Nether Sword Sect?"

Hearing this, Lin Chang’sheng’s heart jolted. He hadn’t expected the sect to send two Mahayana powerhouses to hunt him at once.

"Glad you know. In the Celestial Nether Sword Sect, our grudges are strict and clear. This boy killed two of our Grand Elders—this blood debt must be repaid. Anyone who stands in our way is the enemy of Celestial Nether Sword Sect!"

Bai Feng, full of pride, lifted her snowy white neck.
