Free Web NovelChapter 1830: Chapter 1826: Lu Xiaoman’s Concern
A few Immortals found Daoist Xizhangtian’s corpse on a desolate mountain in the Immortal Realm. They were already preparing to go notify the others in the Immortal Realm, but at this time most of the Immortal Realm’s people weren’t actually in the Immortal Realm—they’d been summoned out by Ye Fan to help him with his affairs.
"Let’s go, hurry back and notify the Immortal Realm. Something seems to have happened to Zhang Tian Daoist. Should we take him back?" an Immortal asked.
"No!" another Immortal said. "Given Zhang Tian Daoist’s current state, he’s most likely already dead. If we take him away and others think it was us who killed Zhang Tian Daoist, that would be bad! Leave Zhang Tian Daoist’s corpse here for now... You can actually still die after becoming an Immortal?"
The few Immortals all looked incredulous. In their eyes, becoming an Immortal meant eternal life. Now that they’d learned even Immortals could die, it was another heavy blow to their worldview.
"Who’s staying behind to guard Zhang Tian Daoist’s corpse?" one Immortal asked.
"Who cares who? We’re all leaving together. Even if Zhang Tian Daoist’s corpse disappears, it has nothing to do with us. Right now we have to let everyone in the Immortal Realm know that our Immortal Realm is in trouble. What if that Alliance Hierarch Ye comes back for revenge? Alliance Hierarch Ye said before that he wanted to completely destroy Zhang Tian Daoist!" After the Immortal finished speaking, the group hurried away, and only then did Xi He reveal her concealed body again.
Xi He was filled with doubts. "Could it really be Master who killed Zhang Tian Daoist? That makes no sense. Did Zhang Tian Daoist try to launch a sneak attack while Master was weakened? But there isn’t the slightest trace of Master around here, and his body is currently injured. Zhang Tian Daoist was killed by some kind of strange power. Weird..."
With her doubts, she continued searching for Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun’s whereabouts. After she searched through the Immortal Realm, she didn’t find any clues at all, and she didn’t discover any trace of Mingye either within the scope of her investigation.
"Looks like Master and Mistress most likely aren’t in the Immortal Realm. How should I handle this? Do I bring people to search the entire Mortal Realm and Immortal Realm again?" Xi He had a headache. Ye Fan’s sudden disappearance put her in a very bad position. If anything happened to Ye Fan while he was missing, she would be buried with him. As an ancient cultivator, she had weathered quite a few storms, but this was the one that felt the most fatal.

Outside the Immortal Realm, inside a small dwelling within the Second Pan Gu Secret Realm, Lu Xiaoman was once again jolted awake by her nightmare.
"Sis, what’s wrong with you again?" Mo Xiaoyan was still watching from the side, her face full of curiosity. "Didn’t you say once you become a Cultivator you don’t need to sleep? But every time you sleep, it’s for ages, and you look super tense. Did you sense something bad happening to Brother-in-law again?"
Lu Xiaoman sized Mo Xiaoyan up and said, "Your brother-in-law hasn’t been here?"
"What would he come here for? That heartless guy is probably out there having a grand time with some girl again. As if he’d still think about us... Erm, think about you, Sis? Sis, do you want me to try and contact Brother-in-law? If I shout for him here, do you think he’ll hear me?" Mo Xiaoyan said with a cheeky grin.
Lu Xiaoman said coldly, "Sister, things aren’t as simple as you make them sound. I think... your brother-in-law might really be in trouble this time. Otherwise I wouldn’t have such a strong premonition. After he helped me cultivate, I realized I seem to be able to foresee many things. It’s like, before I even opened my eyes, I already knew you were by my side..."
"Sis, are you kidding me? You’re saying you have the ability to foresee things—doesn’t that mean you’ve now got some super magical power and can know everything from the heavens above to the earth below? Hmph, what’s the fun in that? You might as well become a fake fortune-teller: whatever you say goes..." Mo Xiaoyan said, sounding completely unconvinced.
Lu Xiaoman felt she couldn’t explain some things clearly, so she said, "If you don’t believe me, I can sense that a female cultivator is about to come over..."
"Huh?" Mo Xiaoyan seemed to realize something too. By the time she reacted, a female cultivator was already standing outside. It was one of the female cultivators Ye Fan had sent to build towns.
"What are you doing here? Didn’t we say no one is allowed to disturb us here?" Mo Xiaoyan acted like a high-and-mighty princess, shouting at her "subject" at will. "Right, hurry up and contact my brother-in-law—your Alliance Hierarch Ye. Tell him we want to see him. Go report it, now!"
The female cultivator looked rather helpless. "Ladies, there’s something you might not know yet. In the Second Secret Realm, this is a secret passage that only Lord God Sovereign can pass through. We can only enter and exit through God Sovereign. At other times, not to mention going in or out, we can’t even transmit messages. If you have anything you need, you can tell me. When we see God Sovereign, we’ll pass it on for you."
"Pass on what? Hmph, just tell him you’re useless, that’s all! You can go!" Mo Xiaoyan said angrily.
Lu Xiaoman walked over and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you... do you know anything about Ye Fan right now?"
The female cultivator shook her head. "I don’t."
"Then why... did you come?" Lu Xiaoman asked curiously.
The female cultivator said, "Before God Sovereign left the Second Secret Realm, he told us to frequently come and check on the ladies’ daily lives. He also had many recreational and entertainment facilities built for you, all constructed according to Earth’s standards. If the two ladies would like to go there, I’ll be responsible for leading the way. Do you have any plans to go over?"
"Are you crazy? We’re doing just fine here. Why would we go to some recreational and entertainment facility? I want to see my brother-in-law!" Mo Xiaoyan said angrily.
The female cultivator was put in a very difficult position. Lu Xiaoman, however, could understand her predicament. Lu Xiaoman said, "It’s fine, you can go back first. We can manage here. Oh right, you’d better find a way to contact Ye Fan. Just tell him... I’m very worried about him!"
The female cultivator agreed and hurried away. After she left, Mo Xiaoyan looked furious and said, "Sis, you see? That Ye Fan is a total scoundrel. He dumped us here and basically stopped caring. Hmph, just wait till I see him. I’ll show him how I’m going to teach him a lesson!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Enough, Sister. Think about what your brother-in-law is doing out there. He’s protecting you—and us. If it weren’t for him, would we be able to live so peacefully here?" Li Zhaojun said.
"Hmph, our previous life was peaceful too. He’s the one who messed everything up!" Mo Xiaoyan said.
"It’s not the same. Even if your brother-in-law hadn’t entered the cultivation world, the cultivation world’s threat to Earth already existed. Back then we might have been wiped out without even knowing how it happened. At least now we’ve taken control of our own Destiny... or rather, your brother-in-law helped us seize control of Destiny!" Lu Xiaoman said, looking off into the distance. "I just don’t know whether your brother-in-law is safe right now."
