Mission: Seduce the Master!

A loud explosion rang out, shaking the entire white space and tearing it apart, bursting into the boundless cosmos where any clumsy movement could lead to death.

"…"

Xu Mei opened her eyes. She was still alive, and her body was being supported by someone. She blinked and looked at the person who had saved her. As she did, tears began to flow from her eyes.

"Foolish... disciple..." she said in a suffering tone, pressing her head against his chest and rubbing her cheek as if trying to feel his warmth and drive away all the pain and loneliness within her.

Xie Qing froze, feeling Xu Mei's actions, and warmth rose in his heart. This feeling brought him back to his younger years.

"Damn..." the man gritted his teeth and sighed.

He channeled his Qi into her body, helping to heal her wounds. And Xu Mei, whether from exhaustion or relief, fell asleep.

Feeling her gentle breath, the Executioner looked towards the immortal who was floating in the air.

"Amusing kid..." the immortal smirked, gripping the hilt of his sword. He pretended to be calm, although his wrist was trembling.

He recalled what had happened just a moment ago. When he was about to kill this woman with his attack, his sword was suddenly blocked by another sword. The collision of the two forces resulted in a powerful explosion, causing the space to collapse.

And although the immortal pretended to be calm, in reality, he was panicked. His sixth sense was screaming danger.

And Xie Qing, hearing the immortal's words, frowned in displeasure.

"Insolence. How dare you disrespect me, worm?!" Xie Qing shouted, then released his Sword Aura.

"Ugh!"

The immortal froze in place, and his body began to shrink. Panic crept into his heart, and his sixth sense was urging him to flee!

"This aura... A Copper Immortal at the ninth stage?!" the immortal thought in shock, then shouted, "Sto-!"

However, before he could finish his words, his body was compressed into atoms and then annihilated. Xie Qing didn't even blink or move his hands. All he needed for this was a thought.

"That's better. The younger generation these days has forgotten basic courtesy. What a mess..." Xie Qing snorted and looked around.

In the boundless space, through a concealment formation, he saw the mortal world, whose barrier had been broken.

His eyes gleamed, and scenes of the battle appeared before him. Zhang Mei, Yu Longfeng, and the others were losing, and someone was in critical condition.

Seeing this, the Executioner felt anger. It welled up from the depths of his heart, where the memories of this life resided. And this anger burned like hellfire.

"Kill!" was all he thought at that moment. He drew his sword.

Nameless Sword. Xie Qing's faithful sword, with which he had fought since the beginning of his journey. The Executioner gripped the hilt tightly, then made a light, seemingly carefree swing with the sword.

However...

Crack! Crack!

The spaces where the battles were taking place were covered in cracks, and the immortal opponents were instantly killed. Their bodies were torn into hundreds of thousands of particles, including their souls—they couldn't even reincarnate.

And as he killed them, Xie Qing noticed something strange.

"This aura... you bastard."

A dark, unpleasant aura.

Forgotten Evil.

"Did this guy give them his blessing?" Xie Qing wondered, feeling annoyed. "What a bastard. Slept for so many years and woke up at the most inconvenient time. Damn!"

What was in the souls of the immortals was a special mark that allowed them to send or receive energy. In this case, they could only give.

The goal of these immortals was indeed to sacrifice themselves to their god, and not just any god, but Forgotten Evil, who was on par with the Heavenly Dao.

"To think that I got involved in this mess..." Xie Qing snorted and began to descend into the mortal world.

Almost immediately, he felt resistance. Being an immortal, he couldn't easily enter the mortal world. Therefore, he had to restrict his cultivation to the level of Transcendence, 10th stage.

And it worked. Entering the mortal world, the man snapped his fingers. The barrier shattered into hundreds of pieces but then reappeared.

The difference was that this barrier was much stronger, but there were no restrictions on exiting. And that meant one thing...

"How do you like this hint, you son of a bitch?" Xie Qing sneered, looking in a certain direction.

It seemed as if his gaze passed through hundreds of billions of miles, and in the end, it met a man dressed in silver armor.

The Heavenly Emperor!

***

"…"

The Heavenly Emperor fell silent during his speech, and his gaze became serious. He sensed that one of the barriers erected around the mortal world had been removed and replaced with something else.

Moreover, he sensed a terrifying killing intent. And, unfortunately, it was familiar to him.

"The Executioner... so you've returned after all..." the Heavenly Emperor thought and involuntarily released his aura. "Good, very good! This time I will kill you and destroy your soul!"

"AAAAAA!"

Cries of despair rang out, and space trembled. The aura of the Heavenly Emperor was terrifying.

One of the Heavenly Generals swallowed hard and thought,

"Is this the power of a Silver Immortal at the ninth stage?"

***

Xie Qing sat in the living room of his estate next to Xu Mei, who was lying on his lap.

Despite having challenged the Heavenly Emperor some time ago, there was no fear or worry in his behavior.

On the contrary, he...

"Open your mouth..."

"A-a-a-a..."

He was casually eating grapes. Or rather, he was being fed by Li Yuilan, who was smiling tenderly.

If the Heavenly Emperor saw what he was doing now, he would kill himself out of anger.

In the living room, by the way, he was not alone. Zhang Mei, Yu Longfeng, Lian Lin, and other leaders were gathered here, drinking tea.

Three months had passed since the battle. During this time, the world... surprisingly, seemed almost unchanged. In fact, most of the damage had been repaired by Xie Qing.

Moreover, after the battle, the cultivation level of most of the girls had increased by several stages. The deadly danger had stimulated their potential, allowing them to become stronger.

The Executioner had long since left, or rather, was still in a state of sleep. Xie Qing himself was still recovering, as the memories of his past life were slowly returning, causing some discomfort and sometimes confusion.

Liu Yan looked at Xie Qing and sighed, seeing his carefree attitude.

"I still don't understand. How did you raise your cultivation level so quickly?"

"…"

The others suddenly fell silent. In fact, they also wanted to ask about this but couldn't find the right time.

Xie Qing, hearing this question, blinked and looked at Liu Yan. For some reason, meeting his gaze, the woman felt a slight pressure that disappeared almost immediately.

"Ah, about that..." Xie Qing finally spoke and smiled carelessly. "I don't know?"

"Huh?" everyone said in unison.

Xie Qing only smiled faintly.

"I really don't know. I woke up in this state."

"…"
