Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Inside the palace, Consort Lan was raising her hand to gather spiritual power, preparing to bind Xu Liguo's soul to her immortal sword. Suddenly hearing that icy and piercing voice, the red light at her fingertips trembled violently and dissipated.

Consort Lan suddenly turned her head to look out the window, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She could never mistake the owner of that voice!
"Lin Che?!"

Consort Lan cried out in alarm, her figure instantly leaping outside the palace, her red Taoist robe fluttering in the strong wind.

Looking up, one could see a huge rift torn open in the sky, with golden ancient power pouring down like a tidal wave.

Lin Che stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by a vast spiritual aura, his eyes as cold as ice, indifferently looking down at the entire Linglong Palace.

A hundred years ago, Lin Che became famous in a battle outside the boundary. Several of the top disciples under the Sect Master were defeated by him. Although Consort Lan had never seen him in person, she had heard of his reputation countless times.

Seeing it with her own eyes now, she realized that the rumors were true. The overwhelming pressure that seemed to transcend heaven and earth made even this mid-stage Void Spirit cultivator feel her heart tremble.

"How...how did you find this place?"

Consort Lan suppressed her fear, her voice trembling slightly. She had always thought that Lin Che had died in the chaotic battle outside the boundary, but she never expected that he would not only be alive, but also find Linglong Palace and even provoke her so much as soon as he arrived.

Lin Che did not answer. His gaze swept over the panicked Linglong Palace cultivators below, finally landing on Consort Lan, his tone icy.

"Consort Lan, cripple your cultivation, and I may spare your life."

"Insanity!"

Enraged by his tone, Consort Lan instantly regained some of her confidence and said angrily, "Lin Che, this is Linglong Palace, not a place for you to run wild!"

"Even if you were powerful back then, you are now all alone. Do you really think you can crush my Linglong Palace by yourself?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Consort Lan raised her hand sharply and shouted at the cultivators behind her, "Everyone, listen to my command! Kill him for me! Whoever can take Lin Che's head will be rewarded with an extraterrestrial core!"

The allure of the outer core instantly ignited the fighting spirit of all the cultivators. Dozens of cultivators simultaneously unleashed their magic weapons, and spiritual energy surged towards Lin Che like a tsunami.

Some cultivators wielding long swords unleashed sword energy several meters long, some cultivators holding magic staffs summoned a raging sea of ​​fire, and others cultivators controlling puppets drove dozens of bronze puppets toward Lin Che.

A hint of disdain flashed in Lin Che's eyes. He slightly raised his right hand, and the Li Guang Bow instantly appeared in his hand.

Lin Che drew his bow and arrow, simultaneously channeling the power of the Dao and immortal essence into the arrow. The golden arrow light instantly condensed, carrying a world-destroying force, and shot towards the cultivators below.

"call out--"

The arrow shot through the air, instantly piercing the chests of the first few cultivators who rushed forward. They didn't even have time to let out a scream before their bodies turned to ashes.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Che flicked his wrist, and the arrow beam split into dozens of beams, which shot toward the remaining cultivators.

Screams rose and fell, and in no time, dozens of cultivators lay dead in pools of blood, none of them escaping unscathed.

Consort Lan's face turned deathly pale at the sight before her. She never dreamed that Lin Che's strength would be even more terrifying than it was a hundred years ago.

Dozens of cultivators were utterly helpless against him!
"Why are you still standing there?!"

Lan Fei roared at the several Void Realm elders behind her, "Attack! Attack together! Even if it costs you your lives, stop him!"

Several elders at the Void Spirit Realm exchanged glances, their eyes filled with fear, but under Lan Fei's oppressive aura, they still gritted their teeth and charged forward. They simultaneously channeled their life's cultivation to condense a massive protective shield, attempting to block Lin Che's attack, while also unleashing their respective natal magic weapons to launch a fierce assault on Lin Che.

Lin Che snorted coldly, waved his left hand, and the Dao Ancient Undying Body instantly activated, a golden shield appearing around his body, blocking all the attacks.

Then, he drew his bow again and shot an arrow. This time, the arrow transformed into a golden dragon, which opened its blood-red maw and pounced on the elders.

"boom--"

The dragon collided with the protective shield, producing a deafening roar.

The protective shield shattered instantly, and several elders were thrown away by the enormous impact, spitting out blood and crashing heavily to the ground. They struggled for a few moments before becoming still.

In a short time, all the powerful members of Linglong Palace were killed or wounded, leaving only Consort Lan and a few maids.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Consort Lan's legs went weak and she almost knelt down. She knew in her heart that she was no match for Lin Che. If things continued like this, Linglong Palace would be crushed by him sooner or later.

Just then, Consort Lan suddenly thought of something, and a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

Consort Lan suddenly turned her head and shouted towards the room where Xu Liguo was: "Xu Liguo! What are you standing there for?! Come out and help me kill Lin Che! Have you forgotten who spared your life and even gave you healing pills?!"

Hearing Lan Fei's shouts from inside the room, Xu Liguo's lips curled into a cold smile.

Xu Liguo had already sensed Lin Che's arrival through the Soul-Concealing Jade and was now waiting for Consort Lan to walk right into his trap.

Xu Liguo slowly stood up, pushed open the door, and walked towards Consort Lan step by step with the same respect on his face.

When Consort Lan saw him come out, she was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Xu Liguo, quick! Use your Demonic Sword Soul to attack Lin Che! As long as you kill him, I will appoint you as the protector of Linglong Palace and let you enjoy wealth and honor!"

Xu Liguo didn't speak. He walked to Lan Fei's side, suddenly raised his hand, and a black demonic flame instantly condensed into a long sword, slashing towards Lan Fei's arm.

"Pfft-"

Blood splattered, and Consort Lan's right arm snapped off and fell to the ground.

Consort Lan stared at Xu Liguo in disbelief, her eyes filled with terror and anger: "Xu Liguo! You...you dare to betray me?!"

Xu Liguo sheathed his Demon Flame Longsword, his respectful expression vanishing instantly, replaced by disdain and mockery.

"Betray you? You dare to say that! Consort Lan, do you really think I've sincerely pledged my allegiance to you? If I weren't seriously injured and waiting for you to rescue me, I would have burned down this dilapidated palace long ago and left you with no place to bury your body!"

After saying that, Xu Liguo turned around and ran towards Lin Che, shouting as he ran, "Master! I'm here! You've finally arrived! Any later and this wretched woman would have turned me into a sword spirit!"

Lin Che looked at Xu Liguo's disheveled appearance, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, before slowly landing on the ground.

Consort Lan clutched her bleeding wound and watched as Xu Liguo ran to Lin Che's side. She finally realized that she had been deceived by Xu Liguo from the very beginning!

He wasn't genuinely surrendering; he was just waiting for Lin Che to come and save him!

"Lin Che! Xu Liguo! You just wait, one day I will make you pay the price!" (End of Chapter)
