In the realm of ascension, a great crisis loomed ahead!
"Xiao Anzi, what are you talking about? We're in the process of ascending; don’t disturb Her Majesty!" Yang Dou said anxiously, fearing that the Empress might get angry.
Chen Anlin decided to speak up as well. "Your Majesty, I'm not speaking nonsense; I can sense some things vaguely."
Wu Xixue chuckled. "So you mean to say you can avoid misfortune and seek good fortune?"
"Yes!" Chen Anlin replied earnestly.
Wu Xixue shook her head. "Don't joke with me."
"I'm not joking."
Wu Xixue's expression turned serious. "Even if you're not joking, it's too late now."
"Too late?" Chen Anlin asked, confused.
"Indeed!" Wu Xixue sighed. "Xiao Anzi, I know you have some opportunities, but this time, we can only charge forward."
"Your Majesty, don’t worry; I will protect you," Yang Dou said through gritted teeth.
"Haha, Empress, your subordinate is quite amusing; he really believes he can avoid misfortune," Chen Anlin laughed.
Just as they soared into the sky and were about to enter the Immortal Realm, a familiar cold laugh echoed through the air.
That voice belonged to—
Chen Anlin furrowed his brow and looked over.
It was her.
He never expected that this woman would suddenly appear. He had seen her before at the ruins near Zhao Prefecture City, always following Lin Feng, the one with good fortune.
Her name was Hao Juan. At that time, he sensed that she was enigmatic. Despite her seemingly low strength, her presence at the underwater ruins in Zhao Prefecture indicated that she was far from ordinary.
After Lin Feng's demise, she had vanished without a trace.
Now, he could hardly believe that she would show up here.
"Not good!" Yang Dou coldly snorted, immediately positioning himself in front of the Empress. "Your Majesty, you and Xiao Anzi should ascend first. I'll deal with this woman."
"Dou'er, you can't handle her; she's a cultivator," Wu Xixue took a deep breath.
"What? A cultivator?" Yang Dou was taken aback.
"Hehehe, you mortals are truly amusing. Always dreaming of ascension, yet here I stand as an immortal before you, and you don't even recognize me. Hehehe."
Chen Anlin suddenly realized that this woman was indeed a cultivator. No wonder she was so mysterious.
Wu Xixue cupped her hands respectfully towards the woman, maintaining a dignified composure. "Cultivator, may I ask what brings you to the mortal realm? You could have sought me out; my palace welcomes esteemed beings like yourself."
"Hmph, just a mere emperor of the mortal realm. Who do you think you are? You’ve merely grasped a few superficial opportunities for cultivation; it’s laughable," Hao Juan scoffed.
Chen Anlin frowned. "Esteemed one, there's no need for such words. Our Empress has done nothing to offend you and has treated you with great respect."
"Esteemed one, what is your purpose in descending to our realm?" Wu Xixue pressed, suppressing her anger.
Hao Juan coldly replied, "I’m here to investigate certain matters. Your world has been experiencing some significant shifts in fortune for reasons unknown, and I have been sent by my master to look into it."
Chen Anlin was stunned. "Shifts in fortune?"
Wasn’t that referring to those fortunate beings?
Indeed, he had dealt with each of them one by one.
From Hao Juan's words, it seemed that their appearance was not coincidental.
Hao Juan continued, "Originally, I was following someone from Lin Feng's side; this person possessed great fortune. However, during a chaotic battle, he ended up dead."
From Hao Juan's demeanor, it was clear she had no idea that Lin Feng had been killed by Chen Anlin.
"And how did your investigation go?" Wu Xixue inquired.
"I found nothing conclusive. However, your presence here is quite unusual. Normally, only those fortunate beings can ascend! They are the ones who possess great fortune. Yet you have ascended instead, so I suspect you have stolen that fortune."
Hao Juan fixed her gaze on Wu Xixue.
"I don’t know what you're talking about! My ascension is due to the blessings of my ancestors and the legacy they left behind; it has nothing to do with you!"
"Your words mean nothing; it must be confirmed by my master," Hao Juan shook her head.
At that moment, she no longer resembled the benevolent figure they had encountered before; instead, her expression was shrouded in gloom.
There was no way around it; Hao Juan was indeed angry at that moment.
The Fortune Child had died right under her nose, and she discovered that the fortune of this world had been completely plundered. This meant that it would be difficult to find another Fortune Child. She couldn’t uncover the truth behind it, and her master would surely blame her.
Thus, she set her sights on Wu Xixue. In her eyes, Wu Xixue had surpassed those Fortune Children and ascended, which indicated that she too possessed fortune. Perhaps the deaths of the Fortune Children were somehow related to Wu Xixue.
In any case, capturing her and presenting her to her master would surely be the right move.
"What do you want?" Wu Xixue said in a low voice.
"I'm not going to make things difficult for you. Just come with me for a while; my master wishes to meet you," Hao Juan replied indifferently.
Wu Xixue responded, "That’s fine, but I need to go up first to pay my respects to my ancestors."
"Do you think I'm asking for your opinion? This is an order," Hao Juan snapped coldly.
"Impossible."
"Make your move."
Wu Xixue and Chen Anlin almost simultaneously took action. Yang Dou was about to intervene but was sent down by Wu Xixue.
"Your Majesty."
"Dou'er, your spiritual power is too weak; you'll be at a disadvantage. Go down first," Wu Xixue urged anxiously.
"But—"
Yang Dou wanted to help, but she couldn’t resist Wu Xixue’s strength and was directly sent down.
"Xiao Anzi, I know your strength isn't weak!" Wu Xixue said as she drew her sword.
"Your Majesty, rest assured," Chen Anlin nodded in agreement.
He had just noticed that the Empress's fortune had been plummeting wildly; it turned out that Hao Juan was the variable causing this change.
Haha.
Hao Juan laughed.
"You two, as ruler and subject, seem to have a good relationship. It's a pity you're overestimating yourselves; you have no idea what kind of existence you are facing."
