Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 759 758: The Popular Li Haoran
At the Immortal Ascension Assembly, two Unification True Monarchs stood in flowing robes, coldly eyeing each other, unwilling to yield. The aura they emitted collided on the stage, forming two distinctly separate domains.
"Senior Su, this person is not even twenty years old, how could he be your husband? This excuse is rather far-fetched, don't you think?" Xuan Ling Daoist stared intently at Su Yiren, trying to find a flaw in her reaction.
Xuan Ling Daoist's fame stretched far and wide across the East Sea, and as a stunningly beautiful female cultivator herself, she innately resisted Su Yiren from Great Xia.
Su Yiren calmly said, "Haoran and I are already engaged, and his parents have acknowledged this marriage. How could that be considered an excuse?"
As these words were spoken, the crowd erupted into shocked murmurs, and while many were astonished, more were filled with envy and jealousy.
"Good heavens, engaged before twenty, how is that possible? Is being handsome really that appealing?"
"I'm so envious. His cultivation level isn't high, yet he's favored by two Unification True Monarchs. If only I had such luck."
"Indeed, if I could attract the attention of a Unification True Monarch, there'd be no need for me to cultivate in this lifetime."
"Senior Su seems to be in high spirits."
"It's no match for Xuan Ling Daoist luring away a married man."
Xuan Ling Daoist placed her index finger in her mouth, drawing out a trail of saliva, while the other end was connected to her outstretched tongue. She looked at Li Haoran with passionate eyes: "What of a married man, handsome? I see you have ample kidney essence; surely Senior Su is unwilling to give herself to you. Why not give in to me?
I can make you soar to the heavens tonight and provide you with all the resources you need for your future cultivation."
Su Yiren chuckled lightly, not taking Xuan Ling Daoist seriously: "Heh, do you really think by debasing yourself, you can lure my husband? My love, between me and Xuan Ling Daoist, whom do you choose?"
Feeling the weighty gazes of both Su Yiren and Xuan Ling Daoist upon him, Li Haoran's scalp tingled.
If possible, he would choose neither.
But considering the current situation, choosing neither was likely to make it very difficult to leave the Immortal Ascension Assembly alive.
He forcibly dredged up Qin Haoran's memories and earnestly held Su Yiren's hand; her body trembled, surprised by Li Haoran's bold move.
"Yi Ren, I've always liked you."
Before Su Yiren could respond, Xuan Ling Daoist reacted.
"Alright, since you're unwilling to choose me, then don't blame me for using some tricks!"
Twelve Flying Swords hovered behind Xuan Ling Daoist, their tips pointing outward, forming a circle, slowly rotating.
This was the Sword Array fashioned by the Penglai Island Master for Xuan Ling Daoist, demonstrating his affection for his only daughter.
Xuan Ling Daoist had only mediocre talent, and even her current Unification cultivation level was bolstered by countless elixirs and magical medicines provided by the Penglai Island Master.
Xuan Ling Daoist was barely at the Body Integration Realm, let alone the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
And as long-lived as Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators were, it meant that the Penglai Island Master could protect Xuan Ling Daoist for a lifetime. Consequently, Xuan Ling Daoist acted recklessly, without heed to consequences.
If she took a fancy to a male concubine, she would simply seize him.
Taking Fan Chong as her disciple wasn't without reason related to Fan Chong's handsome appearance.
Of course, now with Fan Chong's hair gone, his face bruised and swollen, suffering from severe burns and poisoned, he was far from handsome.
The twelve Evildoer Slaying Swords transformed into twelve streaks of azure light, bursting forth and tearing through the space, forming the Sword Array, emitting a sharp and piercing hum.
Su Yiren clenched her delicate hand and threw a punch, lifting boundless waves of air, blowing the twelve Evildoer Slaying Swords away.
Mystic Spirit Daoist's expression changed, not expecting Su Yiren to break the sword array in this manner. She wanted to put some distance between them, but Su Yiren wouldn't give her the chance, engaging in close combat nonstop. Her seemingly frail and pale body contained terrifying strength, with each punch she threw capable of causing ripples in the fabric of space.
Li Haoran's face turned pale at the sight, despite Su Yiren's outwardly gentle and weak appearance, her true identity was that of a Body Cultivator.
Lu Yang still had the energy to make comments, "Junior Brother Li is very lucky ah, to have two Unification True Monarchs fighting over him out of jealousy."
Lu Yang waited a good while for Meng Jingzhou to pitch in with his jests, but turning his head, he saw Meng Jingzhou grinding his teeth in irritation.
Oh, and another jealousy-ridden Great Power during the Nascent Soul Stage had emerged.
Being accustomed to Body Integration Realm battles, especially the high-level ones fought by the Elders, the early-stage Unification battle between Su Yiren and Mystic Spirit Daoist was just a minor skirmish for Lu Yang.
That was Lu Yang's perspective, but it didn't mean everyone saw it the same way.

All those who were qualified to be invited to the Immortal Ascension Assembly were prominent figures in the East Sea, surrounded by entourages, with refined tastes in food, clothing, and shelter. Yet, despite all this, most had never witnessed a Unification True Monarch in action in their lifetimes.
The refreshing sea breeze blew as an elder stood in the center of the platform, adopting a Tai Chi stance. With a flip of his hands, he neutralized the attacks of Su Yiren and Mystic Spirit Daoist.
"Fellow Daoists, for the sake of my face, could you stop fighting? I believe the priority should now be finding an antidote for Martial Nephew Fan Chong."
Both ceased their attacks as if by some unspoken agreement and let out a simultaneous cold huff.
"As expected, it was Anchorite Dingfeng who put a stop to this battle."
"That is Anchorite Dingfeng, touted as the strongest under Island Master Penglai, renowned for his defeat of Unspeakable..."
"Shh, do you have a death wish? You dare to speak of such things!"
Su Yiren, hanging on Li Haoran's arm, returned to the resting area where Lu Yang and the others were. She adopted a clingy demeanor, a stark contrast to her earlier battle-ready stance.
"Thank you, Senior Su, for lending your aid," Lu Yang thanked with a bowing fist, though he wanted to call her sister-in-law, he feared Li Haoran might settle scores with him afterward.
"It was nothing but a small effort," Su Yiren modestly replied, believing that given the identities of Lu Yang and the others, they surely had a backup plan.
"This Immortal Ascension Assembly is not quite interesting, let's leave," she declared.
Under the envious gaze of the crowd, Su Yiren led Lu Yang and the four others away.
"Wait, five people, with remarkable strength... could they be from Fangshan Island?" One of the invited Cultivators suddenly thought of something.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know something?" another Cultivator inquired.
The invited cultivator did not hide anything, as the events on Fangshan Island would reach Penglai Island within a few days anyway.
"Before leaving, I heard that a rare treasure appeared on Fangshan Island, which attracted the attention of twelve Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators. Yet, they were stopped by five Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators," he shared.
The battle on Fangshan Island caused quite a stir, particularly since Meng Jingzhou who could clone himself into a myriad of forms, was easily noticeable.
"Five Mid-stage Nascent Souls held off twelve Divinity Transformation Stages?" the other exclaimed incredulously, wondering how that was possible. Fighting above one's level was already defying the heavens, let alone facing multiple opponents.
The one in the know spoke in a lowered voice, "It's not just that they held them off—they captured them alive!"
"Captured alive?! Is that even possible?!"
"Of course it's possible. It is said that these five Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators used the Five Elements Sect's Five Elements Battle Formation during the combat. This is a closely guarded secret of the Five Elements Sect, which proves that they must be disciples of the sect, likely direct disciples of the Sect Leader!"
"So the disciples of the Five Elements Sect are that fearsome."
