“Senior sister Han Hua…”

“Please bring Eggy and the others to South Heavenly Gate first. I have some matters that I have to take care of.”

“Remember to be extra careful without me. I will definitely make it in time before the competition starts.”

Luo Tian then left.

No one knew where he was going except for himself.

Han Hua had asked before but Luo Tian only smiled mysteriously and said: “You will know later.”

They needed ten people for the immortal sect disciple competition and they didn’t have enough. They couldn’t find any talented enough disciples within Mount Hua Immortal Sect to fight. Everyone knew this competition would be extremely difficult because not only were they facing up against the Imperial God Immortal Sect and the Starsea Immortal Sect, they were also going against the other eight great immortal sects, the Soul Hall, and the devil sect.

This was definitely going to be one nasty battle.

Behind this tough battle was the vague involvement of Li Xue’er.

She was what Lin Long described as a tool for the immortal sects, and this was what worried Luo Tian the most.

Even if he had to pay with his life as the price, Luo Tian will not let her suffer any harm. Whoever dares to hurt her, he promises to kill that person no matter what it took. He had made such a vicious promise by using his little brother in his crotch as the stakes!

————–

The teleportation array in Mount Hua Immortal Sect had been damaged so Luo Tian could only fly to Dark North City.

Dark North City and the South Heavenly Gate were in completely opposite directions. Luo Tian was very tight on time and he blamed it all on Blade River King. Just thinking about it made Luo Tian feel resentment, “You were going to die anyway but you had to make this daddy be pressed for time. I could’ve enjoyed a few rounds last night and had them tell me their secret of suddenly becoming so seductive. But now all I get is a pure annoyance and wondering what that secret is.”

“Whoosh~… whoosh~…” The rushing sound of air whistled past his ears.

Luo Tian had released all his Profound God 7th rank powers to fly in the direction of Dark North City. He couldn’t help but start smiling when he thought of Xin Er, the girl that could see fate. He then muttered to himself: “I wonder how that girl has been doing?”

The distance was simply too far.

Even when Luo Tian used his Profound God 7th rank to desperately fly, he still had to use up an entire day to get there.

The next day was the day of the immortal sect disciple competition, so will he make it on time?

Luo Tian didn’t have an answer but no matter what, he had to get there before the start of the competition. He was worried that the ten great immortal sects will make a move against his people ahead of time when they realize he hasn’t shown up yet. No matter what, he cannot let his people encounter harm.

“Boom~!”

“An expert is here!”

People in Dark North City started becoming nervous.

The aura of a Profound God ranker instantly enshrouded the entire city.

However, Xin Er was smiling like a blooming flower on the steps of the palace while watching the sky. One month ago, she already saw the scene of Luo Tian coming back to her. She had been waiting the entire month for it to happen. To be more accurate, she has been waiting for Luo Tian to come back ever since he left Dark North City.

“He’s here!”

Xin Er smiled. Ever since Luo Tian had her take off her veil, she has never put another one back on.

This signified that she was already a married woman.

She also saw herself as Luo Tian’s woman.

Even though they hadn’t known each other for that long, Xin Er was an obstinate person who stubbornly refuses to change her mind. Once she has chosen a path, she will walk down it until the very end. What’s more, Luo Tian has shown great kindness to her and Dark North City. Most importantly, Luo Tian’s fate cannot be controlled by the heavens.

“It’s him!”

“City Lord, it’s him.”

“Hahaha, Boss Luo is finally here.”

The two warriors next to Xin Er spoke up in excitement. They were the two that accompanied Luo Tian to the Ghost Merman Sect back then.

Luo Tian gently landed with a smile and said: “I’ve come back. How are you doing?”

A reunion after a long time apart.

Xin Er revealed a faint smile while she was ecstatic inside. She maintained a reserved and calmed look as she said softly: “I’m doing well. It’s been hard on you.”

Even though Luo Tian’s fate wasn’t controlled by fate, she could still catch glimpses of the dangers he encounters. In the Sky Palace, in Mount Hua Immortal Sect, in the ancient battlefield, and the Floodplain World just two days ago. She saw them all and her heart was on edge every single time.

Tears would uncontrollably come out when she saw how desperately Luo Tian was struggling.

She had to cherish such a man!

Luo Tian looked at Xin Er’s calming smile and felt a warmth blossom inside his heart. He then said: “I’ve come this time…”

Before he could finish, Xin Er interrupted him: “I know. The uncles inside the Soul Refining Dungeon also know that you will be back. We can directly head there right now.”

“Huh?”

Luo Tian was kind of stunned by this. Once he recalled Xin Er’s ability, he faintly smiled and said: “Okay, let’s go.”

After saying that, Luo Tian grabbed onto Xin Er’s dainty hand.

Xin Er’s body trembled. This was the first time a man has ever held her hands so her face started feeling hot. It started turning hot while her heart was beating chaotically. She was just like a little rabbit that had been caught unaware.

The feeling she felt was one of warmth, blessedness, and sheer happiness.

She didn’t resist at all.

The two of them walked on the streets and no one pointed at them with gossip. All the passers-by revealed looks of admiration and approval.

They approached the Soul Refining Dungeon very quickly.

Before entering the dungeon, Xin Er bit her lips and said: “Big brother Luo Tian, can you not go to that place?”

Luo Tian paused and asked: “What is it?”

Xin Er held onto Luo Tian and replied: “Can you promise me not to go to that place?”

Upon being suddenly hugged, the two meat buns pressed directly onto Luo Tian’s chest which allowed him to feel how soft and bouncy they were. And he realized that they actually weren’t that small! Luo Tian understood what Xin Er meant when she said “that place.” It was naturally the South Heavenly Gate. He replied with a smile: “Did you happen to see something again?”

Tears started streaming down Xin Er’s face as she nodded frantically. “Can you please not go there? As long as you don’t go, I will do anything you want. I can even accompany you to bed…”

She mustered all her courage just to say those words. She then blushed furiously afterward but maintained a serious expression while looking at Luo Tian. The reason was that she saw a vision that made her extremely scared.

She was extremely worried about it.

Luo Tian gently pushed her away and wiped away the tears on her cheek. He then scraped her nose and said: “Silly girl, nothing will happen to me. You’ve forgotten that I am someone that the God of Fate cannot control.”

“My life is up to me and not for the heavens to dictate.”

“As long as I don’t want to die, no one will be able to kill me. Don’t worry.”

Luo Tian’s heart sank when he saw Xin Er’s gaze.

Even though he thinks he could transcend the control of fate, he was very clear that this was going to be one messed-up battle.

He will most likely encounter life-threatening dangers or else she wouldn’t be trying to stop him from going.

Luo Tian didn’t want Xin Er to worry so he said: “I was able to change my fate the last time, so I will be able to do it again.”

After saying that, Luo Tian then strode into the Soul Refining Dungeon.

Xin Er was crying silently as tears streamed down her cheeks. Her heart was in extreme pain as she watched Luo Tian’s figure disappear into the Soul Refining Dungeon. She then muttered, “Big brother Luo Tian, you will end up dying… wuuu~…”
