Chapter 553: Chapter 547: Xiao Lu’s One Hand [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1

The Three Holy Mother was discovered.

She, too, was shocked and hastily cast spells to defend herself.

Princess Longji and The Seven Fairies surrounded her, all eight attacking in concert.

The Three Holy Mother urgently said, "Wait, hold on! I am Yang Chan, a disciple of the Great God Nuwa, the Three Holy Mother. I’m not a villain."

Princess Longji and the others were already locked in battle with Yang Chan and naturally heard her words, but they showed no intention of stopping.

Yang Chan called out again, "Heavenly Queen Mother, I am Yang Chan, a disciple of Nuwa Palace. I have even visited Kunlun Mountain to pay my respects to you."

Although she was a Daluo Golden Immortal, even at the Pinnacle Daluo realm, The Seven Fairies were formidable. Princess Longji was her equal, if not slightly superior. Under siege, she found herself at a disadvantage.

Princess Longji said, "Take this!" Her attacks were fierce, showing no intention of holding back.

The Queen of the West glanced towards the Three Holy Mother and frowned, saying, "Stop."

Only then did Princess Longji and the others cease their assault, though they still kept the Three Holy Mother tightly encircled.

The Three Holy Mother hastily clasped her fists. "Your Majesty," she said, "I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with Big Brother Sha Chen. It’s just that I came here earlier to seek refuge. Big Brother didn’t know I had arrived, and then you all came, so I had to hide."

Princess Longji laughed. "Your big brother is Sha Chen? Everyone knows that Sha Chen and your Second Brother Yang Jian are archenemies. They fought to a standstill; how could you still acknowledge him as your big brother?"

The Three Holy Mother blushed, naturally too embarrassed to admit that she hadn’t wanted to acknowledge him as such; she actually hoped to be Sha Chen’s partner.

Seeing her silence, Princess Longji mocked, "You must be lying. Everyone knows your family rebelled, and Yang Jian was wounded in a fight with Zhao Gongming not long ago. You’re probably seeking refuge here, hence the nonsense."

The Three Holy Mother hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I am not speaking nonsense!"

Princess Longji retorted, "Even if you’re not, your family has rebelled, and Nuwa Palace has long expelled you. Now, your entire family are traitors. Watch as we capture you and send you to the Heavenly Court!"

It looked as if they were about to start fighting again.

Suddenly, Sha Chen spoke. "Since when has Kunlun Mountain become a lackey of the Heavenly Court?"

Princess Longji’s expression shifted slightly. She quickly stopped, looked toward the Heavenly Queen Mother, then at Sha Chen, and furrowed her brows. The other fairies also looked indignant.

Fairy Ziyi said, "Supreme God Sha Chen, what you’re saying is rather inappropriate."

Sha Chen countered, "And you think what you’re doing is appropriate?"

Fairy Ziyi was about to retort but was suddenly startled. "Could it be... could it truly be that the Three Holy Mother is your sister, and you are really her brother?"

Princess Longji was also surprised. "That can’t be right!" she exclaimed in disbelief. "Yang Jian caused trouble at the Flowing Sand River and even stormed the Flowing Sand River Cave. How could it be... unless... so that’s how it is!" She had already put many pieces together in her mind, and most of her conclusions were correct.

The Queen of the West also said, "Heh, everyone thought Yang Jian and Daoist Sha Chen of the Flowing Sand River were mortal enemies. Who would have guessed you two had already formed an alliance."

She continued, "No wonder the Jade Emperor ordered Yang Jian to reveal the situation of the Flowing Sand River Cave, but he kept his lips sealed. And no wonder when the Jade Emperor commanded him to attack the Flowing Sand River again, he refused."

Sha Chen said indifferently, "The Jade Emperor spouts nonsense and lacks credibility. That is why Yang Jian refused to comply. Don’t try to shift the blame to me."

Then he added, "Though San Niang isn’t my biological sister, I treat her as such. Bullying her is the same as bullying me."

The Three Holy Mother was deeply moved. "Big Brother, you’re so good to me," she said, bursting into tears. "WAHHH! When you didn’t respond earlier, I thought you didn’t want me anymore."

Sha Chen said, "Earlier, I sensed that people from Kunlun Mountain had arrived. I was worried someone might try to take advantage of the situation, so I didn’t respond to you."

The Three Holy Mother nodded. "Yes, Big Brother, you did the right thing. I wasn’t thinking clearly."

She continued, "Big Brother, please help save my Second Brother. He fought Zhao Gongming and was injured by members of The Mysterious Altar Department. He’s in critical condition now."

She brought out the Treasured Lotus Lantern, inside which Yang Jian was barely clinging to life.

Sha Chen nodded slightly but did not move to act or allow anyone in.

He looked towards the Queen of the West and the others. The Three Holy Mother understood his meaning and hurriedly said, "Heavenly Queen Mother, my Second Brother is in a critical state. Please leave for now, so my big brother can save him."

Princess Longji felt even more displeased. "What kind of logic is that? He can’t save someone just because we’re here?"

The Three Holy Mother said matter-of-factly, "My big brother is cautious. He won’t open the cave entrance while you’re here. Please retreat ten thousand miles."

Princess Longji was so angry she almost laughed. "We came here precisely to enter, and you’re telling us to retreat ten thousand miles? Does that make any sense!?"

The Three Holy Mother also felt awkward. She had been listening for a while and knew the Queen of the West had come to discuss matters with Sha Chen. Yet, before any discussion could even begin, she was asking them to leave. It truly didn’t make sense.

However, she said in a low voice, "But Big Brother doesn’t want you to enter. Staying here will only cause more trouble."

Princess Longji was outraged but found herself unable to refute.

The Queen of the West suddenly said, "Daoist Sha Chen, I wonder if you could give my goddaughter some face and let her in?" She patted Chang E beside her, smiling faintly.

The fairies were all stunned. A moment of confusion passed before understanding dawned on their faces.

Sha Chen frowned and looked at Chang E. Judging by the Queen of the West’s demeanor, she seemed aware of his significant relationship with Chang E.

However, the expressions of the other fairies also seemed a bit strange.

He glanced over and saw Chang E’s anxious expression. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Supreme God, I am Chang E of Guanghan Palace. May I represent Her Majesty and speak with you?"

From her words, Sha Chen gathered that the female immortals of Kunlun Mountain were likely unaware of her true identity. However, it was uncertain if the Queen of the West herself already knew.

After hesitating for a moment, he still chose not to let them in.

Instead, he said, "We can talk outside the cave. Have them retreat to above the Flowing Sand River. Without my command, they are not to come down. If anyone does, I will begin a slaughter."

The Queen of the West frowned. She didn’t want to talk outside, fearing that word might leak. However, Sha Chen’s words were unchallengeable, so she chose to remain silent.

Then she asked, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll take advantage of your absence if you come out?"

Sha Chen laughed. "You don’t have the ability, and none of you would dare."

These words could be considered arrogant, but Sha Chen said them nonetheless and then strolled out, as the cave entrance posed no barrier to him.

The Queen of the West watched this with shining eyes and said in a deep voice, "Space Greatness, on the verge of Great Perfection. Your spatial power is truly formidable."

Sha Chen replied with a light smile, "You flatter me. My other abilities are even stronger."

The Queen of the West frowned, thinking Sha Chen was joking. He, however, was being perfectly serious, referring to abilities like his physical might and Flame God Thunder.

His spatial power had indeed reached Great Accomplishment, but it ultimately wasn’t the strongest among his many abilities—just the most peculiar.

Sha Chen strolled out. Then, with a wave of his hand, The Seven Fairies and Princess Longji were instantly teleported above the Flowing Sand River.

Greatly alarmed, they wanted to rush back down but were stopped by the Queen of the West’s command.

Among these female immortals, Fairy Yao Yue frowned, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief. She, too, had been effortlessly teleported away by Sha Chen.

Now, beneath the great river, only the Queen of the West, Chang E, the Three Holy Mother, and Sha Chen remained.

Inside the cave, Siti dared not venture out. She watched everything through the cave entrance, utterly bored.
