Invincible Soul Emperor

Qi Tian and Qi Sheng were well aware of how much effort Xue Zhao had put into the election for the Saint Position.

Now, because of this matter, they were on the verge of missing everything. Their mood was extremely heavy.

Qi Tian’s eyes reddened slightly, his voice choked: "Young Master, Miss has put in relentless effort day and night for this Saint Position election. She trained until late at night, hardly taking any rest. We have witnessed all her hardships firsthand. Now she’s unconscious, it’s all because of that damn Xue Wei!"

Qi Sheng couldn’t help but red-eye as well, his eyes filled with regret: "Miss’s talent and effort are evident to all, she is the most qualified to inherit the Saint Position. But now, the Family Head is so partial to Xue Wei, it’s too unfair to Miss."

Qi Tian clenched his fists, his voice tinged with anger and helplessness: "If I could, I would kill that bastard for Miss right now!"

Qi Sheng’s face showed deep pain and helplessness, he sighed softly: "Young Master, Miss has sacrificed so much for the Saint Position, we really can’t bear to see her efforts wasted like this."

Their emotions became increasingly low, eyes gleaming with tears.

They recalled how Xue Zhao had trained diligently day and night for the election, striving to improve her cultivation, constantly challenging herself, even risking entering the Secret Realm.

Those scenes resurfaced in their minds, making them feel even more painful and sad.

Xue Feng also sighed helplessly.

"You two shouldn’t be too upset; the most important thing now is not the Saint Position, but whether Xue Zhao can wake up. I’ve been searching for other solutions. You two must guard here well, so Xue Wei doesn’t come causing trouble again."

Both nodded in agreement.

"Don’t worry; we will definitely guard this place!"

...

The surroundings of Ye Qingchen’s residence were serene and peaceful.

The house was made of simple wood, and while it appeared ordinary from the outside, a closer look revealed its ingenious design, with each detail reflecting the owner’s unique taste.

Dense bamboo groves surrounded the wooden house, their leaves rustling as the breeze swept through, adding a touch of vitality and tranquility to the place.

Inside, the furnishings were simple and tidy.

A wooden desk stood near the window, with several thread-bound books and a writing brush placed on top. The walls were adorned with a few ink wash paintings, their elegant style revealing Ye Qingchen’s temperament.

In the corner was a small alchemy furnace, illustrating his passion for Alchemy.

Though the room lacked extravagant decorations, each item was arranged methodically, filled with the owner’s earnest approach to life and focus on cultivation.

Li Nian’er, dressed in a plain long dress today, looked beautiful and worked diligently around the room.

Every few days, she would come to clean Ye Qingchen’s room, ensuring it remained spotless, as if Ye Qingchen could return at any moment.

She gently opened the windows first, letting the fresh air flow into the room, then picked up the broom, cautiously sweeping away the dust on the floor.

Every inch of the floor, she cleaned meticulously, leaving no corner behind.

Next, she used a clean cloth to wipe the tables and chairs, her movements gentle to avoid disturbing the books and scrolls on the table.

Once she finished cleaning, Li Nian’er stood in front of the desk, gently touching the books, her eyes betraying a hint of tenderness and longing.

She silently mused, "Junior Brother Ye, are your injuries healed? I’ve already cleaned here for you. When you return, you’ll surely find comfort in it."

She walked to the window, gazing at the bamboo grove outside, taking a deep breath to savor the fresh bamboo fragrance and the essence of nature.

She knew Ye Qingchen liked this kind of environment, so she diligently maintained this little world, ensuring it wouldn’t lose its vitality due to the owner’s absence.

Li Nian’er checked the alchemy furnace once more, satisfied after confirming everything was in order.

Ye Qingchen usually loved studying Alchemy here. Though he wasn’t around, she still cared for the equipment, as if keeping Ye Qingchen’s presence here.

Just as Li Nian’er was about to leave, she suddenly heard a faint buzzing sound.

Looking up, she saw a red light swiftly approaching from afar, landing at the door, transforming into a small red flying dove formed of Spiritual Power.

The little dove fluttered its wings lightly, lively and vivid, its eyes flickering with a hint of urgency.

Overcome with curiosity, Li Nian’er reached out her hand, and the little dove landed in her palm, its feathers soft and warm.

With a gentle press, the dove transformed into a scroll of Spiritual Power Messenger in mid-air.

Seeing the red spiritual light, Li Nian’er felt her heart tighten, sensing it might be important news.

She quickly opened the Spiritual Power Messenger, and the words appeared rapidly, the writing clear and hurried, evidently written in a hurry.

The content was a small urgent message:

Emergency, emergency! The Young Master has disappeared in the Xue Family’s Secret Realm and remains missing. The Xue Family’s Secret Realm is fraught with danger; the Young Master hasn’t sent back any message since entering. The situation in the Xue Family is complicated; I suspect the Young Master may have encountered bad circumstances. Please swiftly inform the Sect Elder and proceed for rescue!

The moment Li Nian’er read the message, it was as if time had stopped. She stared intently at the words on the Spiritual Power Messenger, reading it over and over in disbelief.

Her complexion gradually turned pale, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her heartbeat quickened, and her fingers trembled slightly.

"How is this possible?" she murmured, her voice carrying a hint of tremor and disbelief.

In her heart, Ye Qingchen was always a figure of extraordinary ability; how could he possibly be missing in the Secret Realm?

Her mind was in turmoil, an intense unease and panic surging within her.

She knew the Xue Family’s Secret Realm was extremely dangerous but never thought Ye Qingchen might go missing.

She seemed to see Ye Qingchen trapped in a crisis, her heart suddenly feeling cold.

Li Nian’er forced herself to calm down, taking a deep breath to suppress the panic within.

"Could this be someone’s prank?"

She lowered her head again to examine the Messenger, double-checking to ensure she hadn’t read it wrong.

Moreover, there was Xiao Xiao’s unique mark.

Without Xiao Xiao personally, no one else could replicate it.

And the words on the Messenger were clear and urgent, conveying Xiao Xiao’s anxiety and worry authentically.

Li Nian’er was filled with questions and anxiety, feeling a strong sense of urgency rise within her.

"Junior Brother Ye, what kind of danger have you encountered?" Li Nian’er’s hand trembled slightly, tightly clutching the Messenger.

The Xue Family’s Secret Realm was perilous, fraught with dangers, placing Ye Qingchen in an extremely hazardous situation.

She could not delay a moment longer; she must act immediately, inform Elder Yang, and organize a rescue team promptly.
