# Chapter 1700: Mirror Image Scroll
After who knows how long, the sacred carriage gradually became steady and quiet.
Inside the carriage, Zhang Ruochen had long since fully awakened. During the process of "conquest," he had already understood that he was not dreaming. At this moment, he held Tianchu Immortal's snow-white, delicate body in his arms, calming the various emotions within him. He remained silent for a long time, not uttering a single word.
Tianchu Immortal was like an orchid after rain, calmly resting her head on Zhang Ruochen's right shoulder. The spring passion in her eyes had long since dissipated. Her slender jade neck, soft and supple snake-like waist, straight legs... her flawless body was as soft as spring mud, melting against Zhang Ruochen.
Even without a single thread of clothing, her tranquil eyes and gaze devoid of any distracting thoughts still gave off an otherworldly immortal aura, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs.
Zhang Ruochen's hand rested on Tianchu Immortal's flat abdomen, which had not an ounce of excess flesh. After who knows how long, he finally said, "This matter..."
Zhang Ruochen wanted to say that this matter was an accident, but thinking back to how he had already been fully awake and understood what was happening yet still did not stop, the word "accident" simply could not leave his lips.
Tianchu Immortal was calmer than Zhang Ruochen had imagined. She said, "You don't need to explain, nor do you need to offer explanations. Since you didn't flee alone and instead came back, it shows that you are at least someone worth entrusting, and not someone I dislike."
Zhang Ruochen said, "Rest assured, I will take full responsibility for what I have done."
"Take full responsibility for me? What about Chenjing?"
Tianchu Immortal's phoenix eyes gazed at him.
Zhang Ruochen felt somewhat awkward. Just as he was about to explain his true relationship with Qianxing Tiannu, Tianchu Immortal spoke again: "Don't be too greedy. Wanting to embrace two Tiannu in your arms at once—be careful you don't end up dead without knowing how."
Tianchu Immortal left Zhang Ruochen's body. As she straightened her jade waist, a soft groan escaped her lips, and her delicate brows tightly furrowed. After a long moment, she recovered and added, "I'll take your words for now. But you must understand one thing—with your current cultivation, saying such things is utterly laughable. In terms of cultivation, family background, and talent, you are far inferior to me. How can you take responsibility for me? Are you sure you're taking responsibility for me, rather than relying on me?"
Zhang Ruochen stared at her, his heart very calm.
Tianchu Immortal seemed to realize that her words had wounded Zhang Ruochen's pride. Her gaze grew somewhat distant, and then she said, "Cultivate well! If your cultivation can surpass mine, I'll give you a chance to take responsibility for me."
Tianchu Immortal was well aware that giving Lin Yue the chance to take responsibility now would be equivalent to harming him.
Her suitors were too numerous, and among them were some extremely extreme evil path figures. Not only did those people have powerful backgrounds, but their own strength and methods were also quite formidable. How could the current Lin Yue contend with them?
However, Lin Yue's spiritual will was strong, and his talent in the Way of Space was extremely high. In the future, he might not necessarily be inferior to them.
"The Harmony Pill poison in our bodies has mostly dissipated. The remaining poison can no longer threaten us. With our cultivation, we should be able to slowly refine it."
Tianchu Immortal put on a white sacred robe woven from Ice Silkworm King silk and re-donned her veil. Instantly, she became full of immortal aura once again, adding even more beauty.
"Are you two finally finished? Shouldn't you come out and talk? Hehe."
Mo Xiaogu's laughter sounded outside the sacred carriage.
Tianchu Immortal's expression changed slightly, and then she transformed into a white shadow, rushing out of the sacred carriage.
"What's going on? How is this woman here?"
Zhang Ruochen was greatly shocked. He quickly turned over and stood up. Without having time to put on clothes, he directly activated his character armor and rushed out.
The sacred carriage was no longer in the cave filled with chaotic astral winds. Someone had pulled it out to the purple-black valley.
Mo Xiaogu sat on top of the sacred carriage, crossing her legs, rubbing a silver scroll in her hands, and shaking her head. "Lin Yue, why can't your Space-Time Secret Scripture be opened no matter what?"
Zhang Ruochen's forehead was covered in black lines. The Space-Time Secret Scripture was always carried with him—how had it fallen into her hands?
Where had Zhenmiao gone?
Zhenmiao's low wailing came from beneath the sacred carriage: "Zhenmiao, Zhenmiao... come save me, I'm about to die..."
Zhang Ruochen looked closely and saw that Zhenmiao was tied to the left wheel of the White Feather Peacock Sacred Carriage with a Saint-Binding Lock, covered in wounds and mud all over his face.
Zhang Ruochen shot out a Sword Dao Profound Gang, breaking the Saint-Binding Lock and freeing Zhenmiao.
After being freed, Zhenmiao ran faster than a rabbit, hiding beside Zhang Ruochen.
Throughout the entire process, Mo Xiaogu did not make a move to stop them. Instead, she took out a scroll, shook it at Zhang Ruochen and Tianchu Immortal, and asked, "Want to know what this is?"
Tianchu Immortal raised her jade hand, and the ring on her finger transformed into the Rain Silk Divine Sword, flying out in a white arc, slashing toward Mo Xiaogu's neck.
"Isn't it just sleeping with a man? Why is the immortal so eager to kill and silence? Oh no, it's two times, haha!"
Mo Xiaogu disappeared from atop the sacred carriage and reappeared standing on a broken bone on the Great Saint Skeleton's chest.
"Shushushu."
The Rain Silk Divine Sword flew over, like a white thread, stabbing straight at Mo Xiaogu's brow.
"Roar."
The Great Saint Skeleton roared, extending a bone hand, grabbing the Rain Silk Divine Sword, wrapping it around its wrist, and instead dragging Tianchu Immortal toward it.
Forced to do so, Tianchu Immortal had no choice but to retract the Rain Silk Divine Sword and once again put some distance between herself and the Great Saint Skeleton.
Mo Xiaogu said, "If we truly fight, you are no match for this princess. However, this princess does not wish to fight today. I only want to have a proper talk with the immortal."
"There seems to be nothing to talk about between us," Tianchu Immortal said.
Mo Xiaogu's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Not necessarily."
Mo Xiaogu unfurled the scroll in her hand. On the scroll, scene after scene of mirror images appeared, along with the voices of Tianchu Immortal and Zhang Ruochen. It was exactly what had happened between Zhang Ruochen and Tianchu Immortal in the sacred carriage earlier, which she had recorded.
Zhenmiao's eyes widened, his expression extremely exaggerated. But after just one glance, Zhang Ruochen knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.
Tianchu Immortal was both ashamed and furious. "Give it to me."
Mo Xiaogu said, "As long as you submit to this princess and agree to work for me, I will trade it to you."
"This Tiannu does not submit to anyone."
Tianchu Immortal swung the Rain Silk Divine Sword again, attacking Mo Xiaogu with extreme ferocity. In an instant, countless sword qi condensed in the valley.
Tianchu Immortal's attainments in the Sword Dao were very high, able to condense Sword Dao Profound Gang.
Mo Xiaogu controlled the Great Saint Skeleton to block Tianchu Immortal's attacks. "Since the immortal refuses to submit, this princess can only project the recorded mirror images into the various worlds. I believe many cultivators would be very eager to see what the immortal looks like without clothes. Of course, those talented men who admire and pursue the immortal will probably be greatly disappointed, because their goddess, who they revere as a celestial being, really sounds quite unbearable when she moans in bed."
Tianchu Immortal's attacks became even more fierce, but she had just been intimate with Zhang Ruochen and had expended a great deal of energy. She was not at her peak condition. Coupled with the Great Saint Skeleton's formidable strength, the Rain Silk Divine Sword she wielded could not harm Mo Xiaogu.
Zhang Ruochen deeply understood the severity of the situation. He prepared to use spatial power to deal with Mo Xiaogu. No matter what, he had to retrieve that scroll.
Just then, another group of cultivators arrived in the valley.
"It really is the immortal."
"We followed the traces left by the White Feather Peacock Sacred Carriage all the way here—there can be no mistake."
"Look quickly, the immortal is fighting a Great Saint evil creature. Let's go help the immortal."
...
A dozen or so cultivators charged into the valley, attacking Mo Xiaogu and the Great Saint Skeleton.
Zhang Ruochen had seen this group of cultivators before. They had always followed Tianchu Immortal, her suitors.
They were all outstanding individuals, some even top-tier experts. For example, the Crown Prince of the Imperial Ancestor Divine Dynasty, the Son of Heaven of the Hidden Ruins Civilization, and Shenqing Divine Son. The combat power of these three was not inferior to Yan Wang and Lian Hou.
Mo Xiaogu was surrounded by a group of experts, and her gaze turned icy. "You have quite the nerve, daring to surround a Great Saint evil creature. If this princess hadn't been controlling it all along, do you know that you would all be dead by now?"
"Boom."
Mo Xiaogu controlled the Great Saint evil creature, striking ruthlessly. In an instant, screams rang out one after another in the valley.
With every strike the Great Saint Skeleton made, it would severely wound a cultivator—either shattering half their body, breaking their spine, or piercing straight through their chest.
In moments, a large number of people lay fallen on the ground.
Even the Imperial Ancestor Crown Prince, the Hidden Ruins Son of Heaven, and Shenqing Divine Son showed expressions of fear, repeatedly retreating backward.
"Immortal, we should flee quickly! Only by using a Supreme Sacred Artifact can we contend with this Great Saint evil creature."
"That's right, let's first go meet up with the Great Venerables and then deal with this demoness."
...
Mo Xiaogu let out a long laugh. "Immortal, this princess will ask you one more time—will you agree or not? If you don't agree, this princess will now show your suitors what's on this scroll."
Mo Xiaogu held the scroll in her hand, issuing her final ultimatum to Tianchu Immortal.
Zhang Ruochen walked to Tianchu Immortal's side, staring at Mo Xiaogu. "I think we can also have a good talk."
Mo Xiaogu's eyes showed contempt. "Lin Yue, your value for use is not enough yet. You don't qualify to talk with this princess."
Zhang Ruochen's lips moved, and he transmitted his voice to Mo Xiaogu: "Rakshasa Princess, if you dare open that scroll, I guarantee you will not leave Fengshen Platform alive."
Zhang Ruochen was not entirely sure that Mo Xiaogu was the Rakshasa Princess; he was only testing her.
But upon hearing the words "Rakshasa Princess," Mo Xiaogu's expression changed noticeably. Clearly, Zhang Ruochen's guess was correct.
"It really is you." Zhang Ruochen breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Now it was Mo Xiaogu's turn to become anxious. She said in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"
"There are too many eyes and ears here. Let's talk alone," Zhang Ruochen said.
Mo Xiaogu thought it over carefully, then nodded. She controlled the Great Saint Skeleton and moved toward the valley's exit.
Zhang Ruochen turned around and smiled at Tianchu Immortal. "Don't worry. I'll go get that thing back."
