All of the women in the Leaping Wolf Mansion were elated to see the terrible fate that had befallen the poison master and the Heavenly Wolf King.
Over twenty thousand women were now gathered, all of whom were staring at the man in that flowing white robe.
This was the man who had given each of them a second chance at life.
However, the man suddenly turned to them and asked a very strange question, “Are you guys fond of me?”
All of the women faltered upon hearing this.
The White-Robed Exalted Immortal was a handsome and powerful yet compassionate man. He was like the epitome of the man of their dreams, so how could they not be fond of him?
All of the women nodded with shy expressions on their faces.
Some of them could even feel their heart rate elevating as they pondered the meanings behind the White-Robed Exalted Immortal’s question.
Could it be that the White-Robed Exalted Immortal wanted them for himself? He was such a compassionate and powerful man, and he had also saved their lives. If he really did want them, most of them actually weren’t against it…
However, the White-Robed Exalted Immortal’s next sentence dragged them back to reality.
“If you escape, you will be hunted down by the Immortal King, so stay here and keep a low profile for now. I’m going to leave for a while, and when I come back, you will all have true freedom!” An Lin spoke with conviction.
True freedom…
All of the women’s hearts jolted upon hearing this.
“White-Robed Exalted Immortal, what are you going to do?” the woman in green who had just been saved from having to spin the wheel asked with a concerned expression.
“Me?” An Lin turned to all of the women behind him with a smile. “I’m going to save more people. After that, I will kill Immortal King Feng Wuya and establish a new rule!”
Everyone’s heart jolted again upon hearing this.
Before they had a chance to say anything else, he had already disappeared from the spot.
“The White-Robed Exalted Immortal truly is an extraordinary man,” a woman said with an intoxicated expression.
“Immortal King Feng Wuya is the only powerful being to have reached that new stage on the entire continent. Is the White-Robed Exalted Immortal going to be able to defeat him?” another woman asked in a concerned voice.
“Don’t think too much about it. Even if the White-Robed Exalted Immortal can’t win, he can still run away! Let’s wait for him to return. He told us he was going to give us true freedom, and I believe in him!”
“That’s right, we believe in him!”
Hope was reignited in everyone’s heart as they began their new lives.
They had endured the toughest days, so this was already an extremely happy scenario for them. What else did they have to be dissatisfied about?
An Lin’s feat in rescuing over twenty thousand oppressed female slaves quickly created another massive stir throughout the Divine Source Continent.
Everyone was actually quite elated by this news.
The Heavenly Wolf King’s actions had drawn a lot of hatred across the entire continent, and there was no lack of powerful exalted immortals who wanted to bring him down, but none of them dared to do so after considering the Heavenly Wolf King’s relationship with the Immortal King.
After all, the Immortal King was the very heavens of this entire continent. No one dared to mess with the Immortal King unless they wanted to die.
However, that was exactly what the White-Robed Exalted Immortal had done, and he had done so in the most brutal way. He had subjected the Heavenly Wolf King and the poison master to over a hundred different types of torture, tormenting them to death in the end!
Countless cultivators across the entire continent were applauding his feats.
All of a sudden, the White-Robed Exalted Immortal had become the epitome of feminism across the entire Divine Source Continent and had also gained countless worshippers in the process!
His feats inevitably reached the Immortal King Palace as well.
Boom!
A bolt of inky-black divine light erupted into the sky from the meteorite mystic area.
The sun in the sky suddenly turned dark as an extremely resentful voice reverberated throughout heaven and earth.
“White-Robed Exalted Immortal… How dare you to kill my trusted subordinate… I’m going to make you suffer a fate far worse than death!”
Immediately afterward, the ten top-rate exalted immortals of the Immortal King Palace were all deployed to the Leaping Wolf District to search for the White-Robed Exalted Immortal.
At the same time, Immortal King Feng Wuya issued a public challenge to the White-Robed Exalted Immortal for a battle to the death fifteen days later at the Immortal Slaying Platform!
Feng Wuya was willing to bet his rule over the Divine Source Empire in this winner-takes-all battle.
The Divine Source Continent instantly erupted upon hearing about this.
This was a massive event that had created an unprecedented stir across the entire continent!
The Immortal Slaying Platform was located on the Heavenly Mountain, which was in turn situated to the east of Kun Lun City. There was a natural heaven and earth formation there, which was imbued with a special law. The law stipulated that only two living beings could enter the Immortal Slaying Platform, but one had to die before the other could exit!
As such, the Immortal Slaying Platform had long been lauded as the best place to stage battles to the death as no one could intervene, and a battle at that place could only end with one party dead!
Everyone knew that Immortal King Feng Wuya was doing this to lure out the White-Robed Exalted Immortal before crushing him with his absolute power.
This was a plan that was devised due to a lack of alternatives. After all, the White-Robed Exalted Immortal was simply too fast for the Immortal King to chase down elsewhere!
If the White-Robed Exalted Immortal was wary of the Immortal King Palace formation, he could go to the Immortal Slaying Platform for a fair and square battle. If he won, he would be the new ruler of this entire continent!
However, everyone had the same question in their heart.
Would the White-Robed Exalted Immortal dare to accept this challenge?
Just as the outside world was becoming quite turbulent and tempestuous.
The Spring Light Palace was also in turmoil.
There were over two thousand concubines staring blankly at the blank pieces of paper in their hands, upon which the original text had been burned away long ago.
However, they had already committed the original message to memory—Do you want to leave this place? I’ll take you away after I take care of some business at the Leaping Wolf Mansion!
They were initially quite skeptical about the authenticity of these letters, but they could now be sure that these letters had been written by the White-Robed Exalted Immortal!
The White-Robed Exalted Immortal was responsible for the Leaping Wolf Mansion incident, and this confirmed the authenticity of the letters.
Thus, all of the concubines’ hearts had been set aflutter.
All of them had been forced here by the Immortal King to serve him, so none of them were happy to be his concubines, especially when he was a man who couldn’t even get it up.
Many of the concubines were already looking into the distant sky, as if they were eagerly awaiting something.
“Immortal Queen, many of the concubines in the Spring Light Palace have been acting quite strange recently. Are you not going to investigate?” a blue-robed servant asked in an urgent voice.
A beautiful woman in a white dress lightly stroked the strings of her guzheng[1] and sang in a beautiful, ethereal voice, and she continued to sing to herself even after being urged by the bluer-robed servant.
She was the Immortal Queen of the Spring Light Palace, Yan Shuqin, a woman so perfect that she put all of the other concubines to shame. Unbeknown to everyone, she also had a certain man’s portrait hidden under her guzheng.
[1] Guzheng is a traditional Chinese string instrument.
