Wang Xuanji actually felt the same sense of bewilderment as Yao Yuanshan. It was already shocking enough that the lower world had an Eight-Crowned King. The Eight-Crowned King relied on the World Tree and spent most of his time asleep, so his strength was somewhat understandable.

But now, there was also the Heavenly Emperor's heir. Either one of them possessed talent not inferior to her own before her Immortal Spirit Root had been dug out. It was truly terrifying.

Yet this also put Wang Xuanji in a difficult position… If Ye Chen truly had the strength to compete with the Eight-Crowned King for Immortal Qi, what was she supposed to do? Stand on the sidelines?

At best, she might get a spot to return to the Immortal Realm. But what she wanted was far more than that. Because of this, her original ideas of suppressing or subduing him had completely changed. She had just casually grabbed a spectator earlier and already learned everything about Ye Chen. He liked female cultivators—even immortal corpses were not off-limits. It was a bit perverted, but she had heard of far more twisted things in the Immortal Realm.

For example, she knew of a family in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths where every talented prodigy had to ride a strange giant lizard, merging their bloodlines and advancing together.

Compared to that, Ye Chen's preference for immortal corpses was nothing. And this was precisely her opportunity. Although she had never cared much about her appearance or figure, she knew she was undeniably top-tier.

No female cultivator in this world could compare to her. Even the woman currently in Ye Chen's arms was vastly inferior to her in every aspect. If she could make Ye Chen lose his mind over her and willingly give her the World Tree and the Immortal Qi, then her goal could still be achieved.

Therefore, Wang Xuanji immediately spoke with a trace of grievance in her voice: "Fellow Daoist, I was waiting for you at the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land earlier, but you crashed into me. At that time, I nearly had all my internal organs shattered…"

Her tone carried a hint of delicate helplessness. Wang Xuanji had never pursued male cultivators before, but she understood very well that evoking a man's sympathy was the fastest way to enter his heart.

Moreover, it had been Ye Chen who had crashed into her. If she could stir up some guilt in him, the effect would be even greater.

Yao Xi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Was this woman trying to throw herself into her junior brother's arms?

Yao Xi felt no jealousy, only a sigh. Her junior brother was truly too outstanding.

However, Ye Chen's expression grew even colder. He had seen countless women and every type imaginable. This woman was most likely after something he possessed and had been misled by the rumors about him circulating outside. That was why she was trying this approach.

An 80,000-times beauty was indeed worth playing a few mind games with. But this woman clearly had a proud and arrogant nature, so he decided to let her stew for a while first.

Otherwise, without a proper beatdown, even an 80,000-times beauty would be worthless.

Thus, Ye Chen replied indifferently: "So it's about that matter. Such trivial things are usually handled by the Holy Master on my behalf… If you have anything to say, go speak with the Holy Master of my Heavenly Evolution Holy Land."

Wang Xuanji's eyes widened instantly. What kind of nonsense was he saying?

Ye Chen paid no attention to her reaction. The moment his words fell, he summoned the Western King's Holy Carriage. He helped Yao Xi aboard, then, under Wang Xuanji's dumbfounded gaze, shot away into the distance…

Wang Xuanji stared blankly at the carriage that vanished in an instant. Her fists clenched tightly. She was the princess of the Wang family. Even when she had been hiding her Immortal Spirit Root and traveling outside, countless prodigies had fawned over her.

A simple source fact: the author's official page was copied without permission, while reading the chapter there supports the creator.

Top successors from Immortal King clans and supreme sects were not few in number. Yet a mere lower world cultivator, who was only slightly more talented, dared to ignore her like this?

He had crashed into her and then casually brushed her off with "go talk to my Holy Master." It was simply too arrogant!

Most importantly, rumor had it that the Heavenly Emperor's heir was extremely lustful toward women. Yet he had completely disregarded her. Was she blind? Couldn't he see that she was countless times more perfect than those ordinary lower world women?

Wang Xuanji gritted her teeth. But when she thought about the fact that without the World Tree and the Immortal Qi, she would never be able to return to the Immortal Realm, and that the current generation of the Wang family only had her to hold everything together… If she failed and the family had spent so many resources on her, the Wang family would likely be carved up before long.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuanji's fists tightened even more. Although she felt deeply humiliated and ashamed, she still turned toward the direction of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land and flew after them once more. She had to win this man over. She needed him to help her return to the Immortal Realm.

…

On the carriage.

Yao Xi lay on Ye Chen's body, speaking gently, "Junior brother, have you changed your nature? That female cultivator was truly pitifully beautiful. Especially her small mouth and that soft pink lip color—she's practically the most exquisite female cultivator I've ever seen…

"Yet when she took the initiative to approach you with an excuse, you were so cold to her. Could it be that you've entered the heartless realm of the Heavenly Dao and no longer have any interest in women?"

Ye Chen laughed upon hearing this. He gently brushed aside the hair on Yao Xi's forehead and said, "She cannot compare to Senior Sister. With you here, all other female cultivators lose their luster and are not even worth a glance."

Yao Xi immediately let out a soft, charming laugh. She knew very well that her junior brother was lying. But she loved hearing it. Moreover, although Ye Chen loved many women, he never forgot any of them.

Thinking of this, Yao Xi noticed that the Western Empress Holy Carriage was isolated from the outside world by divine light. She couldn't help but start crawling onto Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen stopped her.

Yao Xi's eyes showed a trace of grievance. She and her junior brother had truly not seen each other for many years. It wasn't just men who had desires—women did too. Her junior brother couldn't possibly treat her like he did back in the Foundation Establishment period and refuse to come home again!

Sensing his senior sister's resentment, Ye Chen smiled and whispered softly, "Senior Sister, turn your back to me…"

Yao Xi immediately understood. She shot Ye Chen a charmingly annoyed glare, but her movements remained as gentle as water, just as she had always been—willing to accept everything about him.

…

The journey to the Yao family had taken Ye Chen only half an hour. But the return trip to the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land took a full seven days.

Occasionally, passing cultivators would see the Western King's Holy Carriage hovering motionless in the sky and feel puzzled. If not for the terrifying aura emanating from the carriage, they wouldn't have even dared to approach.

Moreover, the carriage would occasionally shake. Some even began to suspect it was an abandoned Extreme Dao Weapon.

Wang Xuanji clearly witnessed this scene as well. She was so angry that her hands trembled. He showed her no warmth at all, yet he couldn't even bear to waste traveling time with other female cultivators?

Wang Xuanji wished she could slash the shameless couple inside the carriage to death with her sword embryo. But she knew she still needed Ye Chen. The opportunity to restore her Immortal Spirit Root lay in his hands. So she could only grit her teeth and leave first, heading toward the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land to wait for Ye Chen's return.

At this moment, the news that Ye Chen had nearly wiped out the Yao family had already spread. Many powers were shocked to the core.

On one hand, they were stunned by Ye Chen's strength. He had destroyed an ancient immortal clan as easily as slaughtering dogs.

On the other hand, they couldn't understand why the Heavenly Emperor's heir had acted so ruthlessly. After all, wasn't the Yao family's Divine Maiden the Heavenly Emperor's heir's Dao companion? Why had he suddenly turned against them?

However, as more powerful experts entered the Yao family ruins, even though the people who knew the full truth were dead, they quickly pieced together the reality from the residual immortal soul power left at the scene and the accounts of the survivors.

The Yao family had used a method to connect with the Immortal Realm, summoning a prodigy from above, and then offered their own Divine Maiden as a vessel to that immortal expert.

When the Heavenly Emperor's heir learned of this, he flew into a rage, came personally, slaughtered them all, and took the Divine Maiden back! If not for the Divine Maiden's final plea for mercy, the entire Yao family would have been completely massacred.
