51. Don't Push Me Too Far

In the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, a graceful figure descended from the sky, stepping down on a blue lotus, landing softly within a secluded courtyard.

She wore a simple dress, which couldn't quite conceal her enchanting figure but rather accentuated her allure. Beneath her veil lay a breathtakingly beautiful face.

She gently adjusted her veil and asked, "Is there any news of Junior Brother Chen?"

A junior female disciple answered, "Sister Qingzhu, the latest report shows that Senior Brother Chen somehow managed to jump from Six Yuan Nirvana all the way to Nine Yuan Nirvana, and then…"

The disciple hesitated, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"And then what?" Ling Qingzhu furrowed her brows, pressing for an answer.

The disciple paused before continuing, "Then he somehow bypassed both the Life and Death Realm and the Samsara Realm, and finally achieving Reincarnation Realm!"

"What did you say?" Ling Qingzhu looked shocked, hardly believing her ears.

The disciple swallowed, her voice trembling. "Sister Qingzhu, this is verified information from our scouts!"

"When did this happen?" Ling Qingzhu's face showed rare signs of bewilderment and shock.

"Not long ago," replied the disciple.

Ling Qingzhu maintained a calm exterior, but inside, her sense of reality was shaken to the core.

The most powerful techniques she knew could only elevate one by a single small realm.

But to leap several realms? It was unheard of! How did he do it? She couldn't understand.

The disciple hesitated for a long moment before adding, "There's more… Sister Qingzhu, you might not believe it, but… it's true."

"Tell me!" Ling Qingzhu braced herself for the unexpected.

The disciple reported, "It's said that he also killed the Palace Master of the Palace of Darkness in the Northern Yuan Region!"

"What? Are you saying he killed the Northern Yuan Region's Palace of Darkness' Master?" The Palace Master of the Palace of Darkness was someone even her master would treat with caution.

And Chen Xuan managed to kill her? This sounded like a fairy tale.

Ling Qingzhu initially found it hard to believe. She questioned sharply, "Where did this supposed information come from? It sounds absurd!"

The disciple nervously replied, "Sister Qingzhu, this is from a trusted scout skilled in concealment."

It turned out that after Ma Fengbin's demise, Ling Qingzhu had assigned more people to watch over Chen Xuan in the Great Yan Dynasty, which had brought back such startling information.

"Fine. You may leave," Ling Qingzhu said.

Once the disciple left, Ling Qingzhu could no longer contain her emotions. She slapped the stone table in front of her, shattering it to pieces.

Her usually cool demeanor now showed anger.

A Nirvana Realm leap to Reincarnation Realm? That could be brushed off as some sort of trick.

But to kill the Palace Master of the Palace of Darkness? Could that also be a mere illusion? She wasn't convinced.

Ling Qingzhu immediately arranged for people to investigate both the Northern Yuan Region and the Great Yan Dynasty, to confirm if any recent battles between top experts had indeed taken place.

In just a few days, her powerful sect gathered information from all sides.

No one had heard of any recent battles involving peak experts in the Great Yan Dynasty, nor had there been any news of the Palace Master of the Palace of Darkness being slain in the Northern Yuan Region.

She finally relaxed a bit, reassured that these were mere rumors.

Still, the thought of Chen Xuan advancing six stages in such a short time, and potentially possessing a method to quickly reach the Reincarnation Realm, made her clench her fists with determination.

If she could acquire that technique, it would be of great benefit to her future!

Just then, several of Chen Xuan's close friends from the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace—Chen Fei and others—completed their own breakthroughs after several months in seclusion.

They emerged at the One Yuan Nirvana Realm and learned that Ling Qingzhu had sent people to monitor Chen Xuan in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Outraged, they went straight to Ling Qingzhu's residence to demand an explanation.

The guards tried to block their way. "This is Sister Qingzhu's secluded space. Please leave immediately," one female disciple urged.

"Move aside! We're here to confront Ling Qingzhu!" Chen Fei snarled.

Another friend, Zhang Chao, added, "If you don't want trouble, step back and call Ling Qingzhu out here!"

A group of them surrounded the female disciple, though they didn't harm her, directing their anger only toward Ling Qingzhu. Just then, a cold voice came from the courtyard, "Let them in."

As the path cleared, Zhang Chao kicked open the courtyard door, leading the group as they stormed in to confront her.

Chen Fei immediately demanded, "Ling Qingzhu, you've divorced him, so why are you still sending people to make trouble for Chen Xuan in the Great Yan Dynasty?!"

"Yes, why?" another shouted.

"If you don't give us a reasonable answer today, don't blame us for getting rough!"

"We're here to tell you that he's not alone. He has us—his brothers. You can't just bully him!"

The men's voices burned with righteous fury as they looked at Ling Qingzhu.

Ling Qingzhu brushed her veil and, with a calm and icy tone, responded, "Are you done speaking?"

"Answer us!" Chen Fei demanded.

Ling Qingzhu replied, "We're still married. There's no issue with me sending people to retrieve him."

"You're divorced! No, he has already severed ties with you. You have no connection to him!"

No sooner had Chen Fei spoken these words than a powerful wave of energy slammed into him, sending him flying into the courtyard wall, where he coughed up blood.

"Chen Fei!!" The others shouted in concern.

They turned to Ling Qingzhu with blazing anger, as if their fury could set the air itself on fire.

"Ling Qingzhu, don't push us too far!" one yelled.

"Chen Fei only spoke the truth, and you dare attack him?" shouted another.

"If this is how you want it, we're not backing down!"

Knowing that a single one of them couldn't match her strength, they all charged forward together, launching their combined attacks at Ling Qingzhu.
