I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1300: Chapter 501: Left and Right in His Embrace, Master and Disciple in His Arms! Chen Mo’s Official Girlfriend!

Everyone was stunned in place, staring blankly at the scene before them.

The Daoist Forbidden Land had existed since the founding of the Tianshu Pavilion, a millennia ago.

It is said that inside is an independent world, filled with both dangers and opportunities. According to tradition, before every Chief Successor takes office, they must enter it for training. If they can come out safely, it means they have received the Ancestor’s approval and are thus qualified to become the Sect’s successor.

And now, this tremendously significant Daoist Temple had completely collapsed before their eyes!

The flying eaves collapsed, rubble scattered, vermilion pillars fell with a crash, and the dome of the main hall seemed to be crushed by an invisible giant hand, a rolling cloud of dust blocking out the sun.

Without any warning, in just a few breaths, it turned into a ruin of broken walls!

"Lord! Master!"

Ling Ningzhi exclaimed, leaping forward.

This Daoist Temple serves as the entrance to the Forbidden Land. If it were destroyed, wouldn’t that mean Chen Mo and the Daoist Venerable could never come out?!

"Your Excellency!"

"Oh no, quickly, save them!"

The elders reacted, hastily following.

Realizing the seriousness of the issue, their hearts instantly leapt to their throats.

The Ultimate Venerable is the foundation of the Holy Sect’s development. If something were to happen to the Daoist Venerable, and the Tianshu Pavilion was left without a successor, the centuries-old legacy would be destroyed in an instant!

Among them, Xuan Ying and Zhu Huai were the fastest, arriving at the door of the Daoist Temple in the space of a breath. They exchanged a glance, and given the urgency of the situation, they disregarded any Sect prohibitions and were about to break in.

Bam—

At that moment, the tightly closed door was kicked open.

Amidst the devastation, a tall figure walked out slowly.

Chen Mo, in an ink-colored robe untouched by dust, with a face like jade, eyes bright as stars, was holding a white-clad Daoist Nun in his arms. Her pale cheeks were devoid of color, resting against his chest with a fragile air that evoked compassion.

The two, both in appearance and temperament, were exceedingly well-matched, like an immortal couple, evoking a sense of perfect harmony.

"Your, Your Excellency?"

Xuan Ying’s expression froze, and silence descended instantly.

"Lord, Master, you’re alright? That’s wonderful!" Ling Ningzhi ran over, like a swallow returning to the forest, exclaiming, "You scared me, I thought you might never come out again!"

Chen Mo, with one hand supporting the Daoist Venerable, freed up the other to embrace Ling Ningzhi’s waist with skilled ease, and said with a smile, "I said I would bring the Daoist Venerable back safely, and I wouldn’t go back on my word."

"Lord, you’re the best!" Ling Ningzhi nodded vigorously.

"..."

Seeing the three of them so close, Xuan Ying’s face turned very unpleasant.

Previously, Chen Mo had proclaimed madly that he would learn the way of consuming from a daughter-in-law, which was outrageous enough, and now he dared to show such disrespect to the Daoist Venerable?!

This brazen lunatic!

Zhu Huai seemed to understand something, his lips moved silently, wanting to speak but stopping, eventually just sighing and lowering his head quietly.

Ji Hongxiu noticed the peculiar gaze around her, and only then did she realize, her cheeks flushing slightly with color, hurriedly breaking free from Chen Mo’s embrace, standing upright.

"Ahem, you’re all here?"

"Greetings to Your Excellency!"

The elders all bowed and saluted.

Zhu Huai stepped forward and inquired, "Your Excellency, we have been waiting for over ten days since you entered the Daoist Forbidden Land without any sign of movement. What exactly happened? And why did the Forbidden Land suddenly get destroyed?"

"Over ten days? It’s been that long already?" Ji Hongxiu was startled upon hearing this.

In the realm of cultivation, time feels irrelevant. At her level, even a single retreat is usually calculated in years.

Especially this time in the Forbidden Land, after receiving guidance from the Daoist Ancestor, she was absorbed in the state of dual soul fusion, losing track of time...

She had to remember that Ling Yishan was still waiting for the Creation Golden Pill to save his life!

Chen Mo and Ling Ningzhi had gone through countless dangers to gather the Immortal Materials, and if any delay happened due to her mistake, she might never have the face to meet her disciple again in this lifetime!

Ji Hongxiu turned to look at Ling Ningzhi, cautiously saying, "Qingxuan, your grandfather..."

Ling Ningzhi smiled and said, "Although not as strong as before, he can still barely hold on. Master need not worry." free𝑤ebnovel.com

"That’s good."

Ji Hongxiu breathed a sigh of relief, her anxious heart finally settling down.

She glanced at Chen Mo, turned to face everyone, cleared her throat and said, "This time I nearly got lost in the Forbidden Land, thanks to Chen’s timely appearance to awaken me, preventing a great disaster..."

"Hiss—"

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed slightly, and they couldn’t help but gasp.

It seemed Chen Mo was right; the Daoist Venerable indeed encountered danger. If they had blocked Chen Mo from going in to save her, it might have led to a catastrophe!

"Hmph, some people are truly blinded by their selfishness, almost endangering Your Excellency. If any accident really happened, it would be an unforgivable crime to the Sect!" Zhu Huai coldly addressed Xuan Ying beside him.

Xuan Ying’s face was ashen, gripping her horsetail whisk tightly, silent.

Ji Hongxiu, seeing their state, could vaguely guess what had happened.

Xuan Ying, as a legacy elder, had always been diligent and responsible, deeply caring for her disciples, an indispensable pillar of the Tianshu Pavilion, yet her character was too rigid, and her aversion to matters between men and women was even stronger than hers back in the day.

Chen Mo, having barged in so recklessly, likely faced her obstruction. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Ji Hongxiu pondered briefly and continued, "As for the Daoist Forbidden Land, it was meant to continue the Daoist Ancestor’s legacy. Now that Chen has received personal teachings from the Daoist Ancestor, its existence is no longer necessary."

"What?!"

"From Your Excellency’s words, does it mean there truly is an Ancestor’s legacy in the Forbidden Land?"
