Editor: Henyee Translations
This item was clearly one of the sect master’s trump cards. After just one exchange, Jiang Chengxuan had already forced him into such a desperate situation, highlighting the vast difference in their strengths.
“Today, we admit defeat! Retreat!”
Without any hesitation, the sect master immediately conceded. His eyes filled with uncertainty, he turned into a streak of golden light and fled. Following his lead, countless elders of the Shengguan Immortal Sect scrambled to escape, dispersing like birds and beasts.
The disciples of the Shengguan Immortal Sect, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, shouted for a retreat and withdrew like a receding tide.
However, with the signal from the elders of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, countless disciples seized the opportunity to strike the retreating forces, slaying the enemy as they pursued.
Jiang Chengxuan did not intend to pursue them aggressively. After all, having just arrived in the Xuanyuan Immortal Domain, it was unwise to make enemies so hastily and attract undue attention.
“Husband, follow me.”
With a sweet and affectionate smile, Shen Ruyan took Jiang Chengxuan’s hand and led him to the stunned elders of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
“Thank you for your righteous intervention, saving our Rogue Cultivator Alliance from disaster. We are deeply grateful!”
The members of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance reacted quickly, bowing to Jiang Chengxuan in gratitude.
“It was a small effort, nothing worth mentioning.”
Jiang Chengxuan, maintaining his humility, glanced around kindly and returned their salute.

“Su Lao! Su Lao! What’s wrong?”
However, amidst this joyful moment, a sudden cry of urgency arose from the back of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, causing a commotion. The crowd quickly parted to reveal the elderly woman who had accompanied Shen Ruyan, sitting on the ground in pain, her aura unstable.
“She’s been cursed!”
An elder with extensive knowledge immediately exclaimed.
This revelation cast a shadow over everyone, filling them with dread. Especially Shen Ruyan, whose joy at reuniting with her husband was now clouded by worry. Su Lao was one of her few close friends here. Seeing her in such a state was heart-wrenching.
“Hummm—!”
Before they could process the situation, another sudden change occurred. A mysterious wave of energy erupted among them. Turning towards the source, they saw an unfamiliar female cultivator in a long dress, exuding an extraordinary aura.
“Xiaoxue?”
“Brother Jiang! This…”
The female cultivator was none other than Feng Xue, who had just rushed over. The unexpected turn of events left everyone bewildered. However, a flash of insight hit Jiang Chengxuan, and he quickly pieced it all together.
Feng Xue had mentioned that she carried a mysterious treasure since birth, a gift from her family, which would react upon meeting them. This sudden reaction from her treasure could only mean one thing—her relative was among the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
Jiang Chengxuan introduced Feng Xue to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance members, explaining his deductions. This left everyone even more astonished, including Feng Xue, who was in a state of disbelief.
Could her long-lost relative really be here, at such an unexpected moment?
“Su Lao… once mentioned having a child who was lost…”
Shen Ruyan’s hesitant words revealed a shocking secret, hitting everyone like a bolt of lightning.
“My… mother?”
Feng Xue, reeling from the revelation, looked at the old woman’s aged face, seeing the resemblance. The pain etched on Su Lao’s face tore at her heart, filling her with sorrow. The anticipated reunion with her mother was now overshadowed by the fear of losing her to this curse.
Everyone was left speechless, their expressions filled with sorrow. Su Lao was a respected elder in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and seeing her suffer like this pained them deeply.
“Husband…”
Shen Ruyan, looking to Jiang Chengxuan for help, spoke softly. Understanding, Jiang Chengxuan nodded and addressed the crowd.
“Everyone, step back. I have a way to break this curse.”
His words, filled with confidence, made everyone tremble with hope. They obediently moved aside, while Feng Xue looked at him with deep gratitude and hope.
Jiang Chengxuan gave her a reassuring nod before summoning a giant alchemy furnace with a flash of divine light. With a wave of his hand, the furnace ignited with celestial flames, displaying countless mystical visions.
Focusing intently, Jiang Chengxuan produced various celestial herbs, each exuding an astonishing aura, and placed them into the furnace.
“Humm! Humm! Humm!”
The flames roared, refining the herbs into their purest essence, forming a divine concoction. Only then did everyone understand how he planned to break the curse.
They gasped, realizing Jiang Chengxuan was not only a formidable True Immortal but also an esteemed alchemist. Such a combination of skills made him a revered figure, even within the Xuanyuan Immortal Domain. To the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, he was nothing short of a divine savior.
Even Feng Xue, who had spent time with him, was surprised. Watching his serious expression, her anxious heart gradually calmed, trusting that he could handle any situation.
Shen Ruyan smiled proudly at her husband, confident in his abilities.
“Boom!”
Under Jiang Chengxuan’s precise control, the alchemical process proceeded swiftly. His True Immortal power enhanced the refining, and soon, a celestial pill began to take shape within the furnace.
Meanwhile, Su Lao, though in pain, showed no signs of deteriorating, giving everyone hope.
Finally, Jiang Chengxuan’s focus reached its peak.
“Alchemy complete!”
With a final incantation, the furnace roared, and a celestial pill, radiating divine light and emitting a tantalizing fragrance, flew out. The atmosphere turned celebratory as everyone watched the pill land in Jiang Chengxuan’s hand.
“Xiaoxue, take this.”
Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan sent the pill soaring towards Feng Xue, who caught it with teary eyes. She rushed to Su Lao’s side, full of gratitude and urgency.
