Chapter 126 Betrayal
Long Tian stood there, his eyes fixed on the ring in his hand. The Seven-Form Pagoda, a unique artifact, was now in his possession.
Its true purpose remained a mystery, yet one thing was certain – with this item, he could extract someone's martial spirit.
Carefully, he opened the ring, and a palm-sized pagoda with seven levels floated in the air, emitting a soft blue glow.
Long Tian raised his hand, causing the pagoda to hover delicately above his palm.
For now, its function was limited to healing minor ailments related to cultivation. But in his hand, this will become an incredibly rare item.
"Oh, it's exquisite, Long Tian. Clearly, it's no ordinary item, is it?" Li Yue'er inquired, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Indeed, this is an invaluable treasure once owned by the Ning family. But now, it belongs to me," Long Tian replied, his lips curling into a confident smirk.
Li Yue'er nodded in acknowledgment, refraining from further questions.
Long Tian carefully stored the pagoda back into his spatial ring, ensuring its safety.
"What are your plans for today, aside from training?" he asked, his gaze fixed on Li Yue'er.
"I intend to cultivate throughout the day. I'm on the verge of a breakthrough," Li Yue'er replied.
"That's commendable. Your strength will undoubtedly soar if you succeed. Well, best of luck," Long Tian said.
Li Yue'er nodded, and with that, they headed to their respective rooms.
Having spent a considerable amount of time in the villa, Li Yue'er was familiar with every room's layout.
This is a place she can truly call home.

As the hours slipped away unnoticed, night fell upon them, cloaking the world in a blanket of darkness.
In the villa area, a powerful aura surged upward, indicating that someone had broken through to a new realm.
In the backyard, Li Yue'er sat cross-legged, her smile widening with each surge of power.
She stood up, feeling the newfound strength coursing through her veins.
"Finally, I've reached the Qi Foundation realm," she said, her satisfaction evident.
She had been struggling for several days to break through. But now, she has successfully reached the second realm of cultivation.
Applause echoed from a distance, and she turned to see Long Tian walking towards her. The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
"Congratulations, you've finally achieved the breakthrough," he said, a genuine smile gracing his features.
"Thanks. Now, I'm just one realm away from catching up to you," Li Yue'er said, her grin matching his.
"Even if you reach the Flowing Qi realm, you still won't be able to defeat me, little girl," Long Tian teased, his grin widening.
Meanwhile, Qin Chen felt both joy and astonishment when he laid eyes on Li Yue'er.
"Li Yue'er, it's really you. It's been so long!" he exclaimed, his face lighting up with happiness, intending to approach her.
However, Long Tian blocked his path with his hand.
"You can't go near her," he said.
Qin Chen furrowed his brows but refrained from speaking.
Meanwhile, Li Yue'er walked towards them, curiosity etched on her face.
"What's happening here?" she inquired.
Qin Chen stood there, taken aback by Li Yue'er's presence up close. Her beauty, her now silver hair, her voice – he had deeply missed her.
But he quickly snapped out of it and responded, "Hehe, Li Yue'er. I came here to save you. You see, you've been kidnapped by Long Tian all this time, and he wants an item as ransom. Luckily, I got that item, and with it, we can be together again!"
"What?" Li Yue'er exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this. Her gaze shifted to Long Tian, seeking an explanation.
On the other hand, Long Tian didn't deny it. "He's right, Li Yue'er. A week ago, I made a deal with Qin Chen. If he gave me the Heartblade of Guo Jian, I promised to release you to him," he stated.
Hearing this, Li Yue'er's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You... You used me as a bargaining chip?" she asked, her voice quivering.
"I won't deny it," Long Tian replied, his expression unwavering.
Li Yue'er became even more incredulous. After everything they had been through together, the promises of helping her family and strengthening her, she felt reduced to a mere transaction.
Qin Chen tossed the Heartblade to Long Tian. "Deal's done, Long Tian. The Heartblade is yours," he declared.
Long Tian accepted the Heartblade.
"Now, come on, Li Yue'er, you're free now," Qin Chen said, extending his hand towards her.
Li Yue'er still couldn't believe it, yet, she followed and walked with Qin Chen.
The atmosphere fell silent in the midst of the cold night. It felt like a heavy farewell.
However, Long Tian suddenly spoke, "But..."
His words made Qin Chen and Li Yue'er stop, turning to look at him.
"Since I've kept my promise, the Heartblade is now in my possession, and Li Yue'er is free, there are no more restraints. I'll ask you, Li Yue'er. Who do you choose, me or Qin Chen?" Long Tian said, his tone calm yet firm.
Upon hearing this, Qin Chen couldn't help but laugh. "You're truly amusing, Long Tian. After kidnapping Li Yue'er, you're asking her to choose? Wasn't the answer already clear? Now, let's go home, Li Yue'er," he said, turning around and walking away.
However, he realized that Li Yue'er didn't follow him.
He turned back, his eyes widening as he saw Li Yue'er standing beside Long Tian.
"What are you doing, Li Yue'er?" he asked, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"I'm sorry, Qin Chen," Li Yue'er replied.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
