--- Chapter 234 ---

In a garden, many elders gathered around a long wooden table. They have a solemn expression because the plan to trap the Hall of Soul's remaining members on the Gu Sacred Mountain Range failed.

They didn't expect the Hall of Souls to learn about their secret plan and used it against them instead. 

The table turned as soon as the Hall of Souls' Enforcer used an ancient technique to revive the dead and let them fight the allied power.

"Aih..." Gu Yuan sighed weakly. "I didn't have the face to see my son-in-law now." 

"We ultimately failed at the most crucial time."

"In the first place, how did the Hall of Souls' creep get to know our secret plan?" Yao Dan added with a dark expression. 

The elder in red furrowed his fiery brows, "Are you suspecting me?" 

"Gu Yuan, Yao Dan, I, Yan Jin, am a man of character and the leader of the Ancient Yan Clan." 

"For the sake of Grandmaster Lin, I utilized everything my clan had to build the sealing array, but who would have thought the despicable Hall of Souls would use the forbidden technique and revive the dead." 

"I literally have to fight my own ANCESTOR!" 

"Shut up, you three..." A cold voice sent shivers down the three Patriarchs' spines.

The person saying this is a cold-looking woman in a white dress, looking like an aloof immortal.

"Fairy Luo..." Gu Yuan and two others stared at the woman.

Luo Bingbing snorted, "Compared to you guys, I'm more embarrassed." 

"I have promised my husband to handle everything while he was gone, and even telling him everything will be fine." 

"But no, nothing is fine." 

"I felt like a failure." 

"I don't know how, but there are definitely traitors among us!" 

"And I wouldn't mind using my sword to shed their blood." 

"Sister Bingbing, calm down." Qing Lin, who sat beside Luo Bingbing, rubbed her back gently. "Husband won't be mad at you." 

"We should start thinking about our next step now." 

"The Hall of Souls and Hun Clan have gone on alert because of Gu Sacred Mountain Range's failure. They should be gathering strength to fight us right now." 

"We can't let that happen..." Qing Lin coldly stated. Everyone at the long table trembled.

They witnessed Qing Lin's power in the Gu Sacred Mountain Range, and she could kill Half Saint and contest against the Dou Saint with her deadly Snake-Dragon Martial Prowess.

People even start calling her Snake-Dragon Fairy. 

Not far away, Yi Xian is snacking on sunflower seeds. Sometimes, a purple light would flash from her temple and hand, withering the seeds for her to eat.

The purple light would make one's skin uncomfortable for the three Patriarchs of Ancient Clans. 

It was poison. 

They didn't know how, but Yi Xian was able to transform poison into light and even killed the dead with it in the fight. Dancing with poison and flame, she gained the title of Violet Demoness.

Even then, her tender and innocent face makes people feel conflicted.

Under a willow tree, a white-haired woman with an expressionless face gazed at the distance. She wore a plain dress, but her beauty was like an immortal banished from heaven. 

This immortal-like beauty protected the front with sorcery-like ability in the recent fight against the Hall of Souls. With a wave of her fair hand, she could erase anything in her path from existence, fallen like orchid petals.

All those feats made people call her Orchid Immortal. 

Orchid Immortal, or should we call Lan Rou, wasn't fond of such a title.

Days have passed. 

Their rash mission has failed. 

Lan Rou wished she could see Ain right now, hugging and kissing him till night to vent her frustration. 

Has she become much more powerful? 

Yes, definitely. 

Is it enough?

No. 

Lan Rou felt her strength was not enough to seize this world. 

Even the Hall of Souls they looked down upon can trick them.

Then, Lan Rou realized something. 

They are too reliant on Baek Ain. 

Their blind faith in him led to their downfall. 

As long as there is Baek Ain, every problem is solvable. Without him, they are just a tower of flimsy cards swayed by a random breeze.

'Cai Lin. She must know something.' Lan Rou thought to herself.

'That day, she had a vision about Ain getting dragged into the void and left us in this world...' 

'She's preventing that from happening by controlling the other side of Dou Qi Continent, but I doubt it would change everything.'

'We don't need more people. We need to strengthen ourselves to stand beside Ain.' At that moment, Lan Rou felt the clouds in her mind cleared up.

She stood up and said, "I will leave." 

"Where?" Everyone was shocked, and Yi Xian stood up from her seat.

"My origin." Lan Rou replied, creating a wormhole and disappearing from their sight. 

"Oy, don't leave me behind!" Yi Xian was speechless. 

"At least tell me where you are going exactly?!" 

"Demonic Region." Qing Lin guessed immediately. "Sister Rou is visiting Fallen Orchid Sect or the remains of Yin Yang Orchid Clan." 

"I will chase after her!" Yi Xian frowned deeply. After being together for so long, she was inseparable from Lan Rou. 

Unfortunately, Qing Lin won't let her do that.

"Let Sister Rou go." Qing Lin commented calmly. 

"She needs time to be alone." 

"You too, Sister Xian." 

"Go and clear your mind." 

"My mind is clear!" Yi Xian glared at Qing Lin. 

"Since when did the youngest dare to order me around?" 

Qing Lin smiled warmly, "I didn't dare to order you around, Sister Xian. But do you really want to fight me?" 

The faint illusion of two gigantic beasts appeared between Yi Xian and Qing Lin. One is a behemoth with emerald-like skin, and the other is a mighty serpentine dragon.

Although it only lasts a few seconds, the atmosphere becomes stagnant like muddy water.

"Tch." Yi Xian created a wormhole and disappeared as well. 

Qing Lin put on a constrained expression and sighed, "Patriarchs, go back and make preparations. Use all your resources and make yourself stronger than your current self." 

"War." 

"The final war will happen on the Dou Qi Continent." 

"Understood!" Gu Yuan, Yao Dan, and Yan Jin replied in all seriousness. 

"You three, too." Qing Lin glanced at the three young ladies, the heiresses of Ancient Clans.

Yao Ling'er, Huo Zi, and Gu Xun'er had a guilty look on their faces.

They were being too confident. 

When they planned to siege the Hall of Souls, each disciple of Baek Ain wanted to show off. Of course, they are not being hot-headed and did within the realm of possibility. 

But they are ultimately young. 

Yao Ling'er shared many healing pills she refined herself to the fighters of the alliance, but half of them ended up in the Hall of Souls' hand because those fighters died in the Gu Sacred Mountain Range. 

The same thing also happened to Gu Xun'er. She refined many armor and weapons for the alliance, but they were 'quickly' stolen by the Hall of Souls instead.

What Huo Zhi did was as bad as the two disciples. 

She fought with Patriarch Yan Jin over the right to control the fighters in this siege. They argued and confused allies, allowing the Hall of Souls to kill many fighters and slip from the formation.

Meeting Qing Lin's gaze, the three heiresses felt a thousand needles stabbing them.

"We will listen to Master Wife..." They could only bow their heads at Qing Lin with embarrassment and leave with their respective patriarch. 

Qing Lin watched the retreating back of three heiresses calmly before skimming at the Magical Beast Tribes, Pill Tower, and Behemoth Paradise's representatives.

"Go, I don't have to say anything." She said while flicking her sleeve.

"We will listen to Snake-Dragon Fairy." They responded, retreating to their own territory.

Shame, all they had left is shame for not being able to fulfil Baek Ain's plan. 

"Sister Luo." Qing Ling stared at Luo Bingbing.

Luo Bingbing put on a self-mocking smile, "I know." 

"I will go back to the Burning Flame Valley." 

"I will clear my mind there. My little disciple also needs more teaching from me." 

"See you soon, Qing Lin." She closed her eyes and disappeared from her seat.

Everyone left the garden, leaving Qing Lin alone.

They are mad at themselves. 

An hour later.

Qing Lin suddenly smacked her hand on the wooden table and caused it to become a pile of dust. Her fair eyes were red from anger and endless frustration. 

Tears streamed from those furious eyes. 

Yet buried deep inside is helplessness.

Things are crumbling apart.

Qing Lin is just a young lady. 

In fact, she was the youngest in the meeting. 

However, she must bear the responsibility. 

After all, Qing Lin is Ain's wife. 

Qing Lin crouched on the ground and covered her teary eyes with her hands, "Hubby, please come back." 

"Q-Qing Lin doesn't know what to do without you." Her voice cracked.

"People called me Snake-Dragon Fairy, but the truth is..."

"I'm just a hopeless girl." 

"So, please..." 

"Return as soon as you can."
