Chapter 14: Xuanzu's Ex-Girlfriend Arrives

Chapter 14: The Former Girlfriend of the Profound Ancestor Arrives

Former girlfriend?

Upon hearing the Profound Ancestor’s words, Chen Ping’an couldn’t help but laugh.

Is this a case of moral decay from the top down? How is it that even the young Profound One’s former girlfriend has come knocking?

Beside him, Du Rulong was stunned.

As an onlooker, his feelings were the most intense.

In his mind, the Profound Ancestor was a man of great virtue and respected honor, upright and kind-hearted, a living monument to the spirit of the Azure Cloud Sect, and had never taken a Dao partner in his life.

Unexpectedly…

After the former girlfriend of the old sect leader came looking for help, now even the Profound Ancestor had a former girlfriend showing up!

What has happened to this world?

Is it me going mad, or has the Azure Cloud Sect lost its mind, being visited repeatedly by such people?

“Old Ancestor, I…” The Profound Ancestor felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to explain something.

Chen Ping’an waved his hand, flashing the Profound Ancestor a smile that clearly said, “No need to explain, I get it instantly.”

A ray of light flew in from afar, transforming into a middle-aged beauty dressed in a black gown. Because she was floating in the air, a corner of her skirt was lifted by the wind, revealing a long, smooth white leg.

This middle-aged beauty had delicate skin, exquisite features, and a tall, voluptuous figure. Even at her age, she was a first-class beauty.

She hovered above the Azure Cloud Sect, her expression panicked, her body stained with blood, clearly wounded.

“Young Profound One, your taste is impressive…” Chen Ping’an nodded approvingly.

Suddenly, a powerful aura descended.

A white light followed swiftly, becoming a gaunt old man dressed in white. His face was fierce, his body adorned with countless skulls, and in his hand was a skull whip emitting a green glow.

“Heh heh, what use is it to run to the Azure Cloud Sect? That useless Ye Xuan won’t save you!” The white-robed old man laughed maniacally, madness in his eyes.

A buzzing sound thundered down, shaking the sect’s protective formation, causing ripples to spread throughout.

Peak Tenth Layer of the Divine Void Realm!

Many sect members felt the terrifying aura and turned pale.

In the entire Northern Province, cultivators of the Void Spirit Realm were elusive, so a Peak Tenth Layer Divine Void Realm expert was truly top-tier!

Smack!

Chen Ping’an patted the Profound Ancestor on the shoulder, smiling expectantly: “Young Profound One, if not now, when is the time for a hero to save the beauty?”

“Thank you, Old Ancestor.” The Profound Ancestor beamed with joy and vanished in a flash.

Although it was his former girlfriend seeking help, he dared not act rashly without the Old Ancestor’s order.

The opponent was the Bone Skeleton Demon, equal in realm to him, and he had no guarantee of victory.

He did not wish to drag the Azure Cloud Sect into a battle quagmire due to personal matters.

After all, if a Peak Tenth Layer Divine Void Realm expert fought desperately, who knew how many lives the Azure Cloud Sect would lose?

The Profound Ancestor stood in midair, a sword appearing in his hand.

His robes billowed, sword intent boiling within him, and the surrounding void shimmered faintly.

“Brother Xuan!” The delighted middle-aged beauty opened her arms and rushed forward, joy radiating from her face. “I knew you wouldn’t let me die without a fight.”

Cough…

So many disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect were watching, and with the Old Ancestor present, her boldness made Chen Ping’an blush—how could she embarrass him like this?

He quickly pushed her away.

“Qiu Shui, take a position to intercept, I’ll handle the Bone Skeleton Demon.”

“Understood.” The middle-aged beauty regained her composure, blushing as she moved aside, ready to assist.

She was at the Ninth Layer Divine Void Realm, her strength formidable.

“Ye Xuan!” The Bone Skeleton Demon raised his skull whip, sneering coldly. “Thinking of showing off? Have you considered the consequences? You know well the strength of the Bone Skeleton Sect. The Azure Cloud Sect cannot afford to offend us!”

“Enough talk, die!” The Profound Ancestor’s face was cold as he launched a fierce attack.

The Bone Skeleton Sect was the foremost demonic heretical force in the Northern Province, its overall strength indeed surpassing the Azure Cloud Sect.

But starting a war meant the Bone Skeleton Sect had to consider whether other righteous sects would approve.

Even if they destroyed the Azure Cloud Sect, their own vitality would suffer greatly, making them vulnerable to other forces.

Therefore, he never took the Bone Skeleton Demon’s threat seriously, and struck with full force, manipulating countless sword lights to assault him.

“Fine, a hundred years ago we were evenly matched. Now that my Bone Skeleton Divine Technique has matured, I’ll be the first to take you down!” The Bone Skeleton Demon’s body flashed with white light, his flesh suddenly vanished, leaving a pure white skeleton. He swung his skull whip fiercely, clashing with the Profound Ancestor.

Boom! Boom!

The dazzling sword lights collided with the skeletal apparition repeatedly.

The powerful shockwaves caused the sect’s protective formation to ripple continuously.

Below, many disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect watched the Bone Skeleton Demon’s formidable power with growing concern.

Chen Ping’an squinted, unable to see clearly.

As a Golden Body Realm cultivator, his vision was limited and he could not peer into this intense battle of Divine Void Realm experts.

“How’s the fight going, Xiao Long?” he casually asked, gazing into the distant sky with hands folded inside his sleeves.

“Old Ancestor, this Bone Skeleton Demon is incredibly powerful. The Profound Ancestor is actually being overwhelmed!” Du Rulong’s face turned pale after observing carefully.

For nearly a century, the Bone Skeleton Sect, the Northern Province’s premier demonic force, had kept a low profile and no chaos caused by the Bone Skeleton Demon had surfaced.

Unexpectedly, once this villain acted, at the same realm he dominated the Azure Cloud Sect’s Profound Ancestor.

How could he not be alarmed?

Chen Ping’an’s gaze grew deep. He murmured, “This demon has some real skill…”

“Old Ancestor, the Azure Cloud Sect requests permission to join the battle!” Du Rulong bowed, petitioning.

Gathering many Divine Void Realm experts from the Azure Cloud Sect to aid the Profound Ancestor would surely drive back the Bone Skeleton Demon.

“No need for that.” Chen Ping’an smiled lightly, then suddenly reached out from inside his sleeve.

Du Rulong saw a swift beam of light shoot toward the depths of the sky.

At that moment, Chen Ping’an activated an Extraordinary Realm Experience Card.

Once triggered, this card boosted him to the Peak Tenth Layer of the Extraordinary Realm for twelve hours.

Du Rulong was stunned.

Suddenly, he felt his spirit waver, then was shocked to sense an overwhelming aura radiating from the Old Ancestor that made him feel like a mere ant, compelled to kneel and worship.

Boom!

A beam of light struck the Bone Skeleton Demon, instantly reducing him to dust.

The once proud Bone Skeleton Demon, known for his iron will, was now nothing but bone fragments.

“What just happened?” The Profound Ancestor, still fighting, suddenly saw the Bone Skeleton Demon turned to powder by a beam of light. He was dumbfounded.

Who intervened?

Instinctively, he looked down toward the Old Ancestor.

Feeling that immense aura, his whole body weakened, nearly falling from the void.

This was no Void Spirit Realm aura!

Having glimpsed the threshold of the Void Spirit Realm himself, he could rule out the Old Ancestor being of that realm.

“Is this… the Extraordinary Realm?” the Profound Ancestor whispered.

In his youth, he had traveled the world and once witnessed an Extraordinary Realm cultivator, whose aura was just like this.

The middle-aged beauty floated over, smiling sweetly: “Brother Xuan, who killed the Bone Skeleton Demon?”

“Qiu Shui, come with me.” The Profound Ancestor took her hand and disappeared from the sky, appearing before Chen Ping’an.

“Thank you for stepping in, Old Ancestor.” The Profound Ancestor was moved and knelt down on the ground, holding the middle-aged beauty.

“It’s a trivial matter,” Chen Ping’an replied nonchalantly, folding his sleeves. “No one can bully the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect. Even if a disciple’s Dao partner loses a single hair, I will never let it go.”

The Profound Ancestor was even more moved.

Before, he protected the sect; now, with the Old Ancestor around, he belonged to those being protected.

That feeling of being shielded was truly wonderful.

The middle-aged beauty was also deeply touched by the heartfelt words of the Azure Cloud Sect’s Old Ancestor, tears sparkling in her eyes.

The Profound Ancestor carefully wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

This display of affection was overwhelming…

Chen Ping’an turned and slowly walked toward a room.

The Profound Ancestor wiped her eyes and asked, “Qiu Shui, why didn’t you cultivate properly in Youzhou? Why come all the way to the Northern Province?”

“I came to settle accounts.” The middle-aged beauty’s face darkened with anger, her teeth clenched tightly. “There’s a worthless man in your Azure Cloud Sect with no cultivation, right? Hmph, I heard he’s of quite a high status—almost like an Old Ancestor himself!”
