I Only Marry Widows

Chapter 28: A New Identity Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place


At this moment, Lu Chengfeng had already fled far away, yet he still sensed that terrifying aura, reaching through heaven and earth, suppressing the universe, as if becoming the center of all creation the instant it appeared.

He dared not make any move, reining in all his aura with the Dragon-Binding Rope, transforming into a wisp of a breeze. He even refrained from actively controlling his flight direction, lest he leak any traces of mana or magic flowing within him.

Fortunately, Yi Hongchen seemed not to possess any divine techniques capable of searching heaven and earth from hundreds of miles away. Coupled with Lu Chengfeng thoroughly sealing his aura, there was no hint left for detection.

When Yi Hongchen appeared, not only was Lu Chengfeng scared, but 'Zhu Yuxian' also suddenly transformed into a vivid red Sword Light, fleeing with all her might.

But was there still time at this moment?

A purple aura fell from the sky, resembling the hand of an Immortal or a splash of ink on a scroll, instantly enveloping 'Zhu Yuxian'.

'Zhu Yuxian' applied her Sword Light to the extreme, traversing layer after layer of void in an instant, yet no matter how she tried to escape, she remained trapped within that purple aura.

The purple aura seemed like a world on its own, or it contained endless voids, rendering her escape futile without the mystery of the void.

The purple aura rolled up, wrapping 'Zhu Yuxian's body, soon falling into a white as jade hand.

At this time, Xiang Qingchi's eyes had returned to normal. Looking up at the woman standing quietly on the cloud, her face showed awe, and she bowed respectfully.

"Disciple greets Master!"

Yi Hongchen was dressed in a moon-white flowing fairy gown, its hem fluttering like it was woven from moonlight, texture as light as mist, with wide cuffs embroidered with delicate silver patterns, resembling a flowing Milky Way that gently swayed with the breeze.

She was tall and slim, with a graceful curve, her neck as elegant as a swan's, shoulders slender yet graceful, and her chest full and firm.

Especially around her waist, a pale purple silk ribbon was tied, perfectly outlining her slender waist, with a few Bright Pearls at the end of the ribbon, emitting a soft light.

Her appearance was very beautiful, her skin like snow, as if it could be broken by a breath, with long, ink-like hair cascading down like a waterfall, part of it elegantly pinned up by a delicate jade hairpin, exuding a gentle sheen.

Yet despite being such a beauty, she had eyes that dared not be gazed upon directly; those eyes were bright and profound, seemingly seeing through all things in the world, and like an endless starry sky, they contained an awe-inspiring power.

Yi Hongchen looked at Xiang Qingchi kneeling on the ground without speaking, only shifting her gaze to her palm, watching 'Zhu Yuxian' struggling and leaping within that wisp of purple aura.

This scene was extraordinarily mysterious, that wisp of purple aura seemed to become a vast firmament, and 'Zhu Yuxian' shrunk to the size of an ant, trapped within the purple aura.

"You really have many small tricks."

Yi Hongchen's voice carried a tone of desolation and indifference, as if she stepped out of an ancient scroll, seeing through the passage of time and discerning the changes in the Red Dust, with a detachment from worldly affairs.

"Having already been severely injured, wouldn't it be better to stay put quietly? Now that you have fallen into my hands, how can I allow you to hide away and plot again?"

With those words, she pointed with a finger, her fingertip slightly entering the purple aura.

'Zhu Yuxian', who had not realized she had already fallen into another's divine technique, suddenly saw a white jade-like celestial pillar descend from the sky.

Her face changed drastically, the swastika symbol in her eyes spun rapidly, emitting an extremely dazzling Buddha Light.

Boom!

The celestial pillar descended, clearly a colossal object reaching heaven and earth, yet it precisely suppressed upon the White Lotus at 'Zhu Yuxian's' brow.

This White Lotus did not shatter, instead, it was stained with a layer of purple aura.

Then the purple aura spread, swiftly covering her entire brow, countless runes flowing within the purple aura, which then converged into a thirty-three-tier Treasure Pagoda.

The Treasure Pagoda collided with the White Lotus, and after a brief stalemate, the White Lotus transformed into a streak of white light, entering Zhu Yuxian's Primordial Spirit.

The Treasure Pagoda, suffused with purple aura, followed closely, directly suppressing Zhu Yuxian's Primordial Spirit, which was like a mass of scarlet bright light.

Soon, all strange phenomena vanished without a trace.

Yi Hongchen withdrew her finger, her whole being exuding an ethereal bearing, making one dare not look directly, as if a mere glance would profane her.

At this point, she finally turned her gaze to Xiang Qingchi, her tone mild as she said, "You bear the lives of all living creatures, with the great duty of protecting the dawn's people; how can you be swayed by personal emotions?"

"I hope you could steadfastly hold onto your Tao Heart, not fall into the Red Dust, and achieve Perfection in your merit, so we master and disciple might meet again one day."

"Take care of yourself!"

With that, the vast purple aura swirled, and Yi Hongchen's form had vanished, leaving only the aura of the Immortal filling the sky and earth, causing all living beings to dare not move for a long while.

Xiang Qingchi knocked three times in the direction where Yi Hongchen disappeared, then slowly stood up. Her face was somewhat gloomy, "Master, why must it be me to bear the lives of the world?"

At this moment, naturally, no one would answer her.

After a long while, she sighed softly, looking towards the north where Lu Chengfeng had fled, the entanglement and pain in her heart made her involuntarily grip the golden whip in her hand tightly.
