My father is the main character, but the female leads want to kill me.

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out.

A dark red energy shockwave exploded from the Void Hunter. Some people who were too close to the Void Hunter were hit by the energy shockwave and were sent flying like cannonballs.

Shangguan Mengqing and other relatively strong Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators managed to erect a spiritual energy shield, blocking the aftershocks.

After the aftershocks subsided, Shangguan Mengqing turned her gaze to the mountaintop. From the rising dark red miasma, she saw scarlet eyes, and an evil, deathly aura spread outwards.

Seeing this, Shangguan Mengqing recalled a scene and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Death Hunter!"

……

178. Providing assistance

The area around Qianlong Mountain, spanning a thousand miles, can be described as a seamless expanse of sky and earth. The land is crisscrossed with ravines, resembling hideous, festering wounds, from which dark red miasma endlessly seeps out.

The world was shrouded in this miasma, spiritual energy was being worn away, lush trees were withering away at a visible speed, and space itself was like a tattered garment, with black gashes tearing open, through which one could still vaguely see the silver turbulent currents rushing about.

In mid-air, Shangguan Mengqing frowned as she stared at the Death Hunter who was letting out a sharp roar. She could feel the extremely terrifying and unpleasant aura emanating from the Death Hunter, a kind of evil aura that was death mixed with the Void Evil Clan.

A glint flashed in her eyes, and then she swiftly darted away.

The next moment, a dark red torrent, carrying a strong aura of evil and death, slashed towards this side.

"boom!"

The dark red miasma between heaven and earth boiled over with this move, and many powerful figures in the sky hurriedly took cover.

Immediately afterwards, the torrent blasted into a distant valley, creating towering waves. Huge columns of water shot into the sky one after another, shattering the mountain peaks on both sides. This single attack was already at the level of a fourth or fifth-level Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator, using their full strength.

"Miss Shangguan, what should we do next?"

Wen Ling's voice rang out near Shangguan Mengqing, who couldn't help but look over. She saw Wen Ling, Lin Yi, Qin Tianying, and other Dragon Transformation Realm experts following closely behind.

The group looked tense and exhausted, clearly having expended considerable energy. This Void Evil Clan member was even more difficult to deal with than they had imagined.

Lin Ran gazed at the Death Hunter and pondered, "This Void Hunter has now evolved into a Death Hunter, and its strength has reached the level of the Undying Realm. It is no longer something we can deal with."

Originally, this elite-level Void Hunter had only just touched the threshold of the Undying Realm. However, unexpectedly, after the Void Hunter fell into a predicament, it actually stepped into the Undying Realm and even awakened the power of death. Even if several Undying Realm experts came, they might not be able to defeat it easily.

"A Void Evil Clan at the Undying Realm level?!"

Wen Ling and the others standing nearby were terrified as they listened, especially the people from the super sect who had been fighting against the Void Evil Clan for many years. They knew the Void Evil Clan better than anyone else. It would take several human beings at the Undying Realm to kill a Void Evil Clan member.

This is why, even after gathering the entire power of the Nine Provinces, they fought until they were completely out of supplies and their bodies were strewn across the land, barely managing to drive out the Void Evil Clan.

The woman from the Spirit Pure Holy Land, who was at the Dragon Transformation Realm, cupped her hands towards Shangguan Mengqing and said, "Miss Shangguan, the situation has developed to this extent, exceeding our expectations. I suggest that we retreat for the time being, gather our strength, and then destroy this monster!"

Before Shangguan Mengqing could speak, the four Dragon Transformation Realm experts from the former state's battle alliance chorused their objections: "Absolutely not!"

The four war alliances, which had been fighting each other, have united like never before. Hao Yi, the patriarch of the Hao family in the war alliance, even stood up and angrily rebuked them: "You are safe in your retreat, but what about Qianzhou? Don't forget the speed at which the Void Evil Clan reproduces. I'm afraid that before you can even gather your strongmen, Qianzhou will have already fallen. Then it will be other major states. Shouldn't we learn from the lessons of our ancestors?"

What he said makes sense. Although the alliance may have some selfish motives, selfishness is not a problem.

Because when the time comes, only their alliance will be left to face the Void Evil Clan, and they might be completely wiped out. So they definitely need to take advantage of the fact that many other forces are here to get everyone involved in stopping them.

Everyone turned to look at Shangguan Mengqing. This young sect leader, who was already on par with them, these veteran Dragon Transformation Realm experts, was arguably the most influential person on the field. The Sword Sect she represented had given her a solid foundation. Whether to continue fighting or retreat in disarray was up to her to decide!

The light veil covering Shangguan Mengqing's face concealed her expression; only her deep, star-like eyes shone faintly. She calmly said, "Hold on a little longer, wait for Uncle Wu and the others..."

"them?"

Everyone noticed this word keenly. Could it be that the Sword Sect brought more than one Undying Realm expert?

Those present, especially the four family patriarchs from the War Alliance, couldn't help but light up. Qin Tianying quickly patted his chest and said, "Miss Shangguan, our Supreme Elder is on his way and will fight alongside you!"

This matter concerns the future, and Qin Tianying is not stupid. If he keeps hiding and delays calling on the Undying Realm experts of his family for help, it will be the Qin family that will perish in the future. It would be better to concentrate his strength this time and eliminate them to ensure peace.

Upon hearing Qin Tianying's words, Shangguan Mengqing nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on Qin Tianying, and slowly said, "I hope your Supreme Elder can arrive in time!"

What she feared most was that her men would be fighting for ages without any reinforcements arriving, and then she would vent her anger on them.

"We'll definitely be there in time!" Qin Tianying quickly replied.

Seeing that so many people couldn't do anything to the Void Evil Clan, he had already sent a request for help to his family. Now he could only hope that the Supreme Elder would receive the request and arrive in time, otherwise the Sword Sect would make an example of him.

The group shifted from an offensive to a defensive posture, feigning attacks to draw fire and buy time to ensure the success of the rescue. Once the person was rescued, the experts at the Undying Realm would be free to deal with the Death Hunter with all their might.

……

Meanwhile, in another space, a space where black and silver intertwined, a faint blue light shone through.

"This is the spatial node!"

Wearing a black robe, Mu Shishuang pointed to the spatial node in front of her and spoke.

Uncle Wu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but rub his aching back and said helplessly, "This spatial node is really hard for me to find. I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated."

The space where Lin Chong and his group were located had been carried further and further away by the Void Hunters and the chaotic spatial turbulence, and was even almost at the border of the former state, far away from the former Longshan area.

If Mu Shishuang hadn't been a member of the Spirit Clan, Uncle Wu wouldn't have dared to accompany her on this adventure. The moment she entered, she led him straight towards the outside of Dragon Mountain, where there were so many Void Hunters along the way. Uncle Wu would probably have turned back halfway through, fearing he might be tricked.

“This spatial node is sealed off and will take some time. Uncle Wu, could you keep an eye on it for me?” Mu Shishuang closed her eyes, and her right hand once again shone with a bright blue light, transforming into a beam of light that shot into the pitch-black void in front of her.

Uncle Wu naturally knew what he should do, and he guarded Mu Shishuang on both sides. Fortunately, they did not encounter any obstacles.

A beam of azure light opened in the void before them. Mu Shishuang lowered her hand and said to Uncle Wu, "Let's go, let's go save them!"

The two stepped into the portal one after the other.

The next moment, a world filled with dark red miasma appeared before the two of them.

Uncle Wu was taken aback and subconsciously said, "Have we come to the wrong place?"

"We didn't come to the wrong place, but this trial space has already begun to be eroded by the Void Evil Clan!"

Looking at the vast Gobi Desert, Mu Shishuang still remembered what the space looked like when Xiao Chong and the other eight people fought in that space.

"What should we do next to find people?" Uncle Wu asked Mu Shishuang.

Mu Shishuang remained silent, moving her hands to her chest and forming intricate hand seals. She closed her eyes and chanted softly, a mysterious power rising from her body.

When Mu Shishuang opened her eyes, they were a deep blue. She quickly locked onto a certain location, casually opened a portal of light, and said, "Follow me!"

Uncle Wu followed Mu Shishuang into the portal, and the next moment, they heard a sharp cry.

When Uncle Wu finally saw the situation clearly, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This is a vast underground cave, with flowing mud and sand on the ground, and a Void Hunter floating in mid-air, chasing after several young people who are fleeing in a hurry.

Uncle Wu happened to know Mo Qingyi, the young woman from the Tianshan Sword Sect. He saw her as soon as he entered. She and another girl were helping a man and fleeing in a panic.

"Uncle Wu, I'm going to rescue someone!" Mu Shishuang said, and her figure disappeared from the spot.

Uncle Wu shook his head with a smile and joked, "What a guy who doesn't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young. Sigh, let this old man do it!"

He picked up his longsword, and a sharp, silvery-white sword aura, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, struck precisely in the center of the Void Hunter's eye.

"Woo~"

With a piercing screech, the Void Hunter crashed headfirst into the flowing mud and sand. Moments later, the Void Hunter's body exploded with a loud bang, turning into countless dark red specks of light that dissipated into the air.

The Void Hunter who had been relentlessly pursuing Lin Chong and his companions was easily dealt with by Uncle Wu.

After dealing with the Void Hunter, Uncle Wu went to Mu Shishuang's side. Mu Shishuang took off her hood and crouched down. A bright blue light surged in her right hand. The light was extremely soft and seemed to have a life force flowing within it.

The azure light gently shone on the unconscious Lin Chong, and his hideous wounds began to heal at a visible speed. His previously weak life force, after treatment, was like adding fuel to a fire, quickly becoming vigorous again.

"Is this the Spirit Clan's method? It's too unpredictable!" Uncle Wu exclaimed to himself.

Not only are they adept at spatial manipulation, but they also possess a remarkable talent for life manipulation. It's said that time and destiny are also among the Spirit Race's specialties.

Fortunately, this powerful race is not an enemy of humanity; otherwise, humanity would surely have suffered immense devastation.

"Girl, I don't see anyone else. Is it just the three of you?" Uncle Wu couldn't help but ask Mo Qingyi, who was standing to the side.

"Others..."

Mo Qingyi shook her head with her eyes closed, her voice trembling with sobs, "They're all dead...all dead...If he hadn't taken that blow for me, I probably would have died too..."

Hearing this, Uncle Wu didn't ask any further questions. He gently patted Mo Qingyi's head and comforted her, "It's alright, we're just... late!"

……

179. Thank you.

Below this underground cave is a rushing sandy river, and somewhere on a broken stone bridge.

Mu Shishuang was healing Lin Chong's injuries. Seeing that Lin Chong's condition had stabilized, she couldn't help but look up at Fu Yuemei, who was also in a very bad state. With a smile on her face, she said softly, "Yuemei, come here. Let me stabilize your internal injuries. Your internal condition is also very bad!"

“Sister Mu…I’m fine…” Fu Yuemei shook her head and said.

"Do you think I can't tell if you're alright? Your internal organs are so badly damaged, and several major meridians are injured, plus your right foot..."

Mu Shishuang acted like a professional doctor, accurately assessing Fu Yuemei's condition and even pointing out hidden injuries that Fu Yuemei herself hadn't noticed.

Fu Yuemei couldn't help but lower her head and obediently sit down next to Mu Shishuang, letting Mu Shishuang stabilize her internal injuries.

At the same time, Fu Yuemei was also very curious about Sister Mu. She never expected that the people who came to save them in the end were Sister Mu and the elder of the Sword Sect who had been hiding in the dark. Sister Mu had always acted like an ordinary person, so how did she suddenly transform into a profound and unfathomable master?

"Stop thinking nonsense, calm your mind, and start circulating your cultivation technique..." Mu Shishuang saw through Fu Yuemei's little thoughts and couldn't help but say.

Hearing Mu Shishuang's words, Fu Yuemei quickly composed herself and focused on dealing with her physical condition.

Mu Shishuang's left hand also lit up with a bright blue light, quickly drawing an intricate array in the air before gently pushing it toward the space beside her.

The formation then transformed into a beam of azure energy that shot into the space in front of them, becoming azure light gate.

Pointing to the portal of light, Mu Shishuang looked at Uncle Wu and said, "Uncle Wu, if you go through this portal, you should be able to save three more people!"

"Is anyone still alive?"

Mo Qingyi and Uncle Wu said in unison.

Mu Shishuang nodded and said, "There are indeed more, but they are all seriously injured. If we take them out and have them treated by those forces, they should be able to save their lives!"

Uncle Wu's cloudy old eyes flashed with surprise, but whether there were really three young people there or not, he would have to go and find out.

"Girl, stay close to that girl, I'll be right back!"

Uncle Wu patted Mo Qingyi on the shoulder. He had also seen the girl's talent and would like to take her as his apprentice if given the opportunity, but all of that would have to wait until this incident was resolved.

Uncle Wu vanished as soon as he stepped through the portal. Lin Chong, who had been lying on Mo Qingyi's lap, slowly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he met a pair of swollen, red eyes.
