Chapter 1376: Chapter 1376: With Me Here, She Will Never Die! (Part 1)
“Haochuan, something’s wrong, my sister is in trouble!” Lin Zixuan suddenly called, her voice anxiously urgent.
Upon hearing this, Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened abruptly. Although Lin Qingxuan had rejected him last time, she still held a significant place in his heart.
“I’ll be there right away!”
Hanging up the phone, Ye Haochuan immediately invoked the Great Yan Step, flying towards Haishan at top speed.
The Great Yan Step consumed much more than Sword Control, but Ye Haochuan couldn’t afford to worry about that now.
In just a dozen minutes, Ye Haochuan reached the entrance of the Lin Family’s residence.
As soon as he landed, he received another call. Taking out his phone, he saw it was from Horton.
Ye Haochuan’s heart sank suddenly. He had already suspected Lin Qingxuan’s sudden predicament was related to that “Divine Sacrifice.” Horton’s call seemed to confirm his suspicions.
“Bad news, Ye, the Chief God not only refuses to let us replace the sacrifice, but also…”
“What else?” Ye Haochuan asked, furrowing his brows.
Horton hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “The Chief God wants to collect the sacrifice now, so… you should go see Lin one last time!”
“Damn it!”
Ye Haochuan smashed his phone to the ground.
He had asked Horton to come back, hoping Horton could communicate with the Chief God to replace Lin Qingxuan as the sacrifice.
However, not only had they failed to save Lin Qingxuan, but they had also made things worse, prompting the Chief God to take Lin Qingxuan earlier.
Ye Haochuan felt a wave of helplessness. If it were just a regular cultivator, even one at Nascent Soul Peak like a super expert Yang Sen, he would dare to fight.
But now, he was up against the Chief God; how could he fight that?
Besides, he didn’t even know the method to contest with the Chief God.
“No! I cannot allow that damned Chief God to take away the woman my heart cherishes! Chief God or not, even if it were the Creator God, if anyone dares to touch my woman, I would fight them to the death!”
This sudden determination woke Ye Haochuan from his helplessness.
No matter how mighty the Chief God was, he wouldn’t give up. Without fighting to the last ounce of strength, how could he know he had no chance?
With this in mind, Ye Haochuan quickly picked up the phone from the ground.
Fortunately, he hadn’t intended to completely destroy the phone; his force was not too excessive. Plus, the phone was of good quality, so it could still be used.
“Is there any way to delay the Chief God’s timing?” Ye Haochuan gritted his teeth, trying to remain calm while speaking to Horton.
Horton said somewhat despondently, “There’s no way; the Chief God isn’t acknowledging me now. After this incident, I don’t even know if he’ll continue to use me as his exclusive priest.”
He couldn’t help but feel dejected; his lifelong dream was to become a powerful priest. Becoming the Chief God’s priest was the first step towards achieving this dream.
Having finally moved the Chief God with sincerity to become his exclusive priest, he had displeased the Chief God by continuously haggling over Lin Qingxuan’s issue.
To the Chief God, a priest was merely the most humble of subordinates. As the most humble subordinate, one has no right to negotiate with someone so high above.
The Chief God was displeased with him and could revoke his priest qualifications at any time.
“Then Qingxuan… how much time does she have left?”
Ye Haochuan was clearly disinterested in whether Horton would remain a priest; his concern was how much time he had left to save Lin Qingxuan.
“These sacrifices generally require some preparation. Moreover, due to the rules of Space Law, the Chief God cannot instantly absorb all the life of the sacrifice. This process takes about an hour or so.”
“There’s still time!”
Ye Haochuan felt a slight sense of relief. From when Lin Qingxuan got into trouble until now, at most half an hour had passed. This meant he still had half an hour to try to save Lin Qingxuan.
Ye Haochuan quickly hung up the phone and swiftly walked into the Lin Family’s gate.
On the other end of the phone, Horton’s anxious voice continued to echo: “Ye, don’t do anything stupid! If you provoke the Chief God, divine retribution may follow!”
But Ye Haochuan obviously did not hear him. Even if he had heard, he would still act without any hesitation.
Just being afraid of divine retribution and leaving his woman in peril was not his style.
“Little Ye, you’ve… come?” Lin Xiaoquan felt somewhat guilty upon seeing Ye Haochuan’s arrival.
Last time, when Ye Haochuan went to the United States to save Lin Qingxuan, they promised him he could ask for anything in return. However, afterward, it was evident they had not kept their word.
And now, even if he wanted to fulfill the promise, it seemed almost impossible.
“Mm!” Ye Haochuan responded lightly and didn’t waste words, proceeding directly to Lin Qingxuan’s room.
“Little Ye, I’m sorry, you’re too late; Qingxuan has already…”
Lin Xiaoquan wanted to say more, but Ye Haochuan had already opened the door. Inside, Zhong Linghui was dressing Lin Qingxuan in a piece of clothing.
“What are you doing?” Ye Haochuan exclaimed furiously.
He couldn’t help but be angry. The garment Zhong Linghui was putting on Lin Qingxuan was clearly mourning clothes for the dead.
Unexpectedly, upon seeing Ye Haochuan, Zhong Linghui did not stop her actions but quickly covered Lin Qingxuan’s vital chest area, glaring fiercely at Ye Haochuan and shouting, “Get out! Even if Qingxuan is dead now, you cannot profane her, not even with your eyes!”
At such a critical moment, how could this madwoman still care about meaningless profanation?
Ye Haochuan’s anger flared instantly as he dragged Zhong Linghui aside, snorting, “You madwoman, Qingxuan is not dead yet, and you’re dressing her like this. Are you cursing her to die?”
“Ye Haochuan, don’t you slander me! Qingxuan is my dearest daughter; how could I wish for her death?”
Zhong Lingxiu spoke with tears still streaming from her eyes. As a mother, she could not wish for her daughter’s death.
However, just over ten minutes ago, Lin Qingxuan had lost her breath and heartbeat; she was clearly already dead.
Zhong Lingxiu truly loved her daughter. Even after her daughter’s death, she could not allow anyone to touch her daughter’s body. Thus, she personally dressed her daughter in mourning clothes, preparing to send Lin Qingxuan to the crematorium.
Ye Haochuan saw the tears in Zhong Lingxiu’s eyes and realized he had misunderstood her. For Lin Qingxuan to be without breath and heartbeat for such a time, by all conventional standards, she was dead.
“No, she’s not dead yet! As long as I’m here, she will never die!” Ye Haochuan nearly roared.
At this time, Lin Xiaoquan also entered, pulling Zhong Lingxiu aside, and with reddened eyes, he said to Ye Haochuan, “Little Ye, Qingxuan is already dead, please don’t do this.”
