Primordial Emperor

Chapter 781: 781

"Hehe, no worries."

Liu Qingxia waved her hand dismissively at Lin Chen. She was unaccustomed to such blunt candor.

It was a common reaction for men to lose their composure in her presence, but most would offer excuses. This young man, however, had straightforwardly admitted to his distraction, which seemed sincere and unpretentious.

While Lin Chen had indeed been momentarily distracted, his gaze bore no ill intent.

Liu Qingxia had confidence in her beauty and figure, and even the Sect Leaders of those super powers from the Divine Flame Alliance would covet her. This young man, Lin Chen, in the prime of his youth, admired her genuinely, and while it may have been somewhat impolite, he had not crossed a line.

After some pleasantries, Liu Qingxia and the others returned to the Divine Flame Sect with Lin Chen.

She had been severely injured in the recent battle and affected by the Yin Sha Qi. If not treated promptly, the consequences would be dire.

Fortunately, the Divine Flame Sect was adept in the Way of Alchemy, which gave Liu Qingxia a way to resolve the issue.

Although the Divine Flame Alliance’s army had temporarily repelled the forces of the Red Soul Hall, the crisis was far from over.

It was known that the enemy forces defeated earlier amounted to just over a hundred thousand, far from the entirety of Red Soul Hall’s army that was set to march on the Divine Flame Sect.

Yu Weilian, Yao Qinghe, Elder Qing, and others also returned to the Divine Flame Sect with Liu Qingxia to discuss their next battle strategy. Lin Chen, meanwhile, led the army to a nearby encampment to join up with the original forces of the Formation Sect.

Lin Chen noticed Ye Wenhao and Qing Wanrong among the Formation Sect troops, but he understood the current circumstances; Red Soul Hall’s army was the primary foe. The Sect’s internal disputes could wait. Lin Chen intended to settle scores once back at the Sect, provided Ye Wenhao and Qing Wanrong didn’t actively seek trouble.

As for the army of Bodhi Hall, Lin Chen gave it a cold glance, his face showing a chill.

Bodhi Hall’s actions against both Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race had enraged Lin Chen. The other Four Cardinal Directions Sects were also deeply dissatisfied, but considering Bodhi Hall’s power, they refrained from infighting. After all, the main adversaries were still Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race.

However, Lin Chen’s thoughts differed. He worried Bodhi Hall might stab them in the back while fighting Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race. He considered this underlying threat had to be addressed.

At the same time, within the camp of Bodhi Hall, Hall Master Lian Ping watched the arriving troops of the Divine Flame Alliance with a dark expression, his eyes filled with anger and a murderous intent.

The arrival of the Divine Flame Alliance’s army had completely disrupted his plans. His original intention was to rescue Liu Qingxia when she had no other options, thus winning her favor. But now, that plan had evaporated.

...

Night fell.

Within the mansion of the Sect Master of the Divine Flame Sect.

Liu Qingxia had been substantially injured during the day. Even though she had taken the finest healing pills from the Divine Flame Sect, the Yin Sha Qi inside her body proved exceedingly stubborn to cleanse. After several hours of rest, she had only recovered about thirty to forty percent of her health.

If Red Soul Hall were to attack again the next day, Liu Qingxia genuinely didn’t know how she’d cope.

It was at this moment that the report of a maid could be heard from outside.

"Sect Master, Hall Master Lian Ping from Bodhi Hall requests an audience," the maid reported in a neutral tone, as a servant not daring to refuse Lian Ping’s request.

"Visiting so late is inconvenient, ask him to leave," Liu Qingxia’s voice conveyed through the crack of the door, deliberately letting Lian Ping hear it.

However, what she didn’t realize was just how thick-skinned Lian Ping could be. Even after hearing her message, he remained unfazed, insisting on staying.

"Sect Master Liu, I have come here on important matters to discuss, let’s not be so rash," Lian Ping said as he barged directly into Liu Qingxia’s room.

The personal maid at the door wanted to stop him, but the overwhelming pressure from Lian Ping rendered her immobile.

Hum—

After entering the room, Lian Ping waved his hand, and a blue elixir appeared in his palm.

The moment the elixir materialized, the room was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance that brought warmth and felt as though it slightly increased one’s Spiritual Power.

"Qingxia, you were badly injured today. This fifth-grade intermediate medicinal pill, the Life Essence Pill, is a prized elixir of Bodhi Hall, renowned for its healing properties. After taking it, you’ll recover within the time it takes for one incense stick to burn. As long as you..."

Lian Ping looked at Liu Qingxia and said calmly, already anticipating how she would respond.

Before Lian Ping could finish, Liu Qingxia rejected him outright.

"There’s no need, Hall Master Lian. The Divine Flame Sect has plenty of healing pills. There’s no need for you to worry about a mere injury on my behalf," she replied coldly, angered that Lian Ping had intruded into her room without permission. If she were capable, she would have taught him a lesson.

"Qingxia, I know you are dissatisfied with Bodhi Hall’s previous actions, but I believe there has been a misunderstanding,"

"You’re aware of the current situation. It is uncertain whether Red Soul Hall will attack again tomorrow. You should heal your injuries and restore your strength as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the Divine Flame Sect,"

"Please, take the elixir," Lian Ping said, and as his voice fell, he tossed the elixir to Liu Qingxia and then vanished from the room with a flicker.

Liu Qingxia caught the elixir and frowned as she watched Lian Ping’s retreating figure.

Indeed, in her hands was the Life Essence Pill, a precious and highly effective elixir for healing that wasn’t cheap. Although Liu Qingxia wished to have nothing to do with Lian Ping, she had to ensure her recovery for the sake of the Divine Flame Sect, to be at her peak fighting capacity.

After some consideration, she swallowed the pill.

The Life Essence Pill melted upon entering her mouth, turning into a gentle flow of Spiritual Power that quickly spread through her meridians, rapidly healing her injuries. But shortly after the pill dissipated, an abnormally intense heat suddenly surged up in Liu Qingxia’s abdomen.

In that moment, Liu Qingxia felt an unbearable heat throughout her body.
