Fairy Lynn and Domain Lord Nolan Nangong both wore looks of shock. Fairy Lynn rushed forward, shouting urgently, "Evan, don't do anything reckless! Whatever's happened, let's talk it through!" Without a care for the Immortal-Extinguishing Talisman in Evan's hand, she flashed directly to his side.
Evan Chu glanced at Fairy Lynn and said, "Fairy, I might not be able to answer your request. All I ask is that you take good care of them. This Skyflight Sword is my meeting gift for them joining Dream Spirit Sanctuary. If I survive today, I’ll repay your kindness one day."
With that, Evan Chu took out the peerless Skyflight Sword he’d won at auction, intending to hand it to Fairy Lynn. But Fairy Lynn refused outright, saying, "This sword is far too precious—I can't accept it. Rest assured, I will protect them well."
Evan Chu stared at Fairy Lynn and said, "Do you think I’m not worthy to give you something? You must accept this Skyflight Sword. You’re a fairy as beautiful as the heavens—if I’m still alive, maybe one day this sword will become my token of affection for you."
Even now, Evan Chu could still keep his composure. As long as the Immortal-Extinguishing Talisman left his hand, its power would be unleashed instantly—Newcapital City would be destroyed in a heartbeat. The consequences were truly unimaginable.
Fairy Lynn’s cheeks flushed slightly. She hadn’t expected Evan Chu to say such things. If she refused, it felt as if she was truly looking down on him; but if she accepted, it was like agreeing to his token of affection. She’d never thought about romance before, and for a moment, she was at a loss.
"Don’t feel pressured. Just treat it as a joke from me. Roxanne and the others—I’ll leave them in your care." Evan Chu didn’t wait for Fairy Lynn’s reply and tossed the Skyflight Sword to her.
Fairy Lynn felt a heavy weight in her hand as she caught the Skyflight Sword. It wasn’t just the sword’s mass—it was a spiritual heaviness. She glanced at Evan Chu and said, "I accept it. But I hope you can calm down now. You know exactly what will happen if the Immortal-Extinguishing Talisman leaves your hand."
At that moment, Martial Spirit Dominion’s Domain Lord Nolan Nangong flashed to Evan Chu’s side and said, "You’ve been too impulsive today. Retract your immortal power. With me here, no one can hurt you—unless Solarion Palace and Skyshade Hall want to make an enemy of me."
"That’s right. Today, no one can harm you. Besides Martial Spirit Dominion and Dream Spirit Sanctuary, Loveless Sword Tomb will also protect you. Put the Immortal-Extinguishing Talisman away—the Immortal Realm cannot allow innocent lives to be harmed so recklessly." said the Sect Master of Loveless Sword Tomb.
Newcapital City’s tens of millions of immortals could never withstand the might of the Immortal-Extinguishing Talisman. If you detonate it, you’ll become the target of every force in the Immortal Realm. Think carefully!" said the Sect Master of Loveless Sword Tomb.
For the first time ever, three top sects’ leaders were simultaneously trying to stop Evan Chu from doing something reckless, while also promising to protect him—a Da Luo Golden Immortal. This had never happened in the history of the Immortal Realm.
Everyone, whether floating in the sky or standing on the ground, looked at Evan Chu with envy, jealousy, and awe at his honor—and terror at his audacity.
"Evan, put it away! I’ll be fine. I believe one day you’ll find me again—I’m willing to wait a lifetime for you." Luna (Yvonne Xuan) threw caution to the wind, her words making Xander Xuan and Hector Vaughn nearly explode with rage.
Seeing Luna’s face streaked with tears and blood at the corner of her mouth, Evan Chu’s heart bled. It all came down to his own weakness—if he could break through to Immortal Emperor, he’d never have to fear anyone. At that level, even the strongest could be slain at his whim.
But time wouldn’t allow him that luxury. Just then, Xander Xuan roared furiously at Luna, "You’ve let me down! When we get back, you’ll pay for this!"
"If you dare hurt Luna, I swear I’ll make you wish you were dead! And you, Hector Vaughn—I’ll remember today’s humiliation. Within a hundred years, I’ll make Skyshade Hall pay a terrible price!" Evan Chu shouted.
"Ha ha ha ha! Brat, you think you can destroy Skyshade Hall in a hundred years? You’re just a Da Luo Golden Immortal. Even if you were mid-stage Immortal Emperor, could you really break through to late-stage Emperor within a century?" Hector Vaughn mocked.
Even if you reach late-stage Immortal Emperor, I’m still there too. Who knows who’ll win? What makes you so bold? It’s better if I end you now and save you future suffering." Hector Vaughn snarled.
Evan Chu turned to Fairy Lynn, Domain Lord Nolan Nangong, and the Loveless Sword Tomb Sect Master and said, "Today’s kindness—I, Evan Chu, will never forget. One day, I’ll repay it. My word is my bond."
"Domain Lords and Sect Masters, I hope you’ll think clearly. Don’t throw away decades of friendship for a mere junior. He’s just a Da Luo Golden Immortal—he’s not worth your protection. Let me kill him and save you future trouble." Hector Vaughn pressed.
The Immortal-Extinguishing Talisman is powerful, but my Heaven-Covering Parasol isn’t just for show. I’m sure you all know its abilities. That talisman won’t do much to me—Newcapital City will be perfectly safe." Hector Vaughn boasted.
"That’s right. My Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation can trap the talisman’s power inside its array. There’s no need to worry—don’t ruin our harmony over this." Xander Xuan said.
"Excellent, excellent! I’d love to see the Heaven-Covering Parasol and Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation try to contain the Immortal-Extinguishing Talisman. If you all end up wounded, that’s even better for me—saves me a lot of trouble." Zane Zuo, lord of Coldshroud Imperial Palace, sneered.
"Zane Zuo, quit your snide remarks. If you think that talisman can hurt us, you’re dreaming. When this is over, I’ll settle accounts with you. Everything you’ve done to Skyshade Hall over the years—I’ll make you pay back double." Xander Xuan snapped.
"Enough! Are you all ignoring me? Evan Chu is one of my Martial Spirit Dominion’s people. Half a year ago, I personally sent Blazefire Immortal Lord to invite him to join us. If you want to kill him, you’ll have to get my permission first." Domain Lord Nolan Nangong declared.
"Nolan Nangong, don’t muddy the waters. If this brat did to you what he’s done to us, you’d want him dead too. I hope things don’t get too ugly today." Hector Vaughn said coldly.
"Ugly? Why don’t you try me! Anyone who dares touch him today will be my enemy. The Immortal Realm’s been quiet too long—maybe it’s time for a little earth-shaking chaos!" Nolan Nangong said, voice cold and thunderous.
