Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

"Boom!"

A huge silver beam of light pierced through the dome of the main hall of the Ghost King Palace.

The extremely pure power of spatial laws directly tore apart the protective array of the Ghost Realm.

The beam of light struck the open ground in front of the altar. The obsidian floor instantly melted, creating a bottomless crater.

Dust filled the air.

A group of cultivators clad in silver armor slowly descended from the pillar of light.

The leader wore a half-silver mask and held a staff engraved with star patterns.

Protoss. Silver Arbiter.

His gaze locked onto Jiang Yining.

"Extremely strong fluctuations in Star Essence Stone energy detected. Target confirmed." The Arbitrator's cold voice echoed in the hall. "Host of the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree, come with us."

Yu Luofeng and Gu Qinghan stopped arguing at the same time.

The faces of the two men visibly darkened.

"Protoss scum?" Yu Luofeng slung the boning knife over his shoulder, his dark golden eyes blazing with murderous intent.

"Dare to touch my woman and child?" Gu Qinghan gripped the ice sword tightly again. The Pure Yang True Fire ignited on his body once more.

The adjudicator glanced at the two of them.

"Lord of the Pill Tower, Lord of the Ghost Realm. You are both seriously injured. If you step aside now, you might still be able to leave with your bodies intact."

He had barely finished speaking.

Suddenly, a very regular mechanical sound came from outside the main hall.

"Click click click—"

Several black metal spheres emerged from the cracks in the wall.

Jiang Yining curled her lips into a cold smile.

Moye has arrived.

She directly issued commands to Mo Xie, the mechanical puppet lurking underground, through her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Seal all exits of the main hall. Activate the advanced Explosive Flame Array."

The surface of the sphere glowed with a blinding red light.

The adjudicator frowned. He raised his staff, and a silver shield of light instantly enveloped the entire Protoss squad.

"Explode." Jiang Yining snapped her fingers.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions erupted around the main hall.

The advanced Explosive Flame Array combined the power of hundreds of purple-gold lightning beads.

The terrifying shockwave blew the main hall's supporting pillars off.

The silver light shield twisted wildly in the violent explosion, and shattered after only three breaths.

Several Protoss soldiers standing on the perimeter were instantly blown to pieces. Blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The adjudicator's expression changed drastically.

He hadn't had time to organize a counterattack.

Yu Luofeng had already arrived in front of him.

The speed of the semi-saint was far beyond the judge's reaction limit.

The boning knife transformed into a streak of black light, striking directly at the judge's staff.

With a "crack," the staff broke in two.

"You dare to come to my territory and try to steal someone? Who do you think you are!"

Yu Luofeng raised her leg and kicked the judge in the stomach.

The judge coughed up blood and was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into the wall.

He had just struggled to his feet when an ice sword burning with pure Yang fire pierced through his right shoulder.

Gu Qinghan drew her sword and with a backhand flourish, severed his left arm.

"Anyone who dares to covet her must die," Gu Qinghan said in a chilling tone.

Two men who dislike each other display an incredibly terrifying level of teamwork when facing an external enemy.

Yu Luofeng was responsible for direct suppression, and the semi-saint's aura directly locked down the adjudicator's room to maneuver.

Gu Qinghan was responsible for precise strikes, aiming each sword at a fatal weakness.

The judge didn't even have a chance to fight back.

His proud spatial laws were completely ineffective in the face of the two madmen.

Jiang Yining stood at the back, coldly watching this one-sided massacre.

She continued to direct Mo Xie to clear out the remaining scattered Protoss soldiers.

Several Protoss guards who were trying to flank Jiang Yining from the side had only taken two steps when the stone slab beneath their feet suddenly flipped over.

Mo Xie's mechanical blade pierced out from the ground, slicing them in two.

Screams echoed throughout the main hall.

In less than half an incense stick's time.

The entire Protoss squad was wiped out.

The adjudicator was trampled underfoot by Yu Luofeng.

His limbs had all been severed by Gu Qinghan. Only his torso remained, still twitching slightly.

"Speak. How did you find this place?" Yu Luofeng pressed the tip of his blade against the judge's brow.

The judge's face was covered in blood. He looked at Yu Luofeng and Gu Qinghan, and suddenly let out a very strange laugh.

"You think you've won? The High Priest has already locked onto her coordinates... She can't escape... You'll all die..."

Gu Qinghan's eyes turned cold. He swung his longsword down, decapitating the adjudicator.

The hall fell silent again.

Yu Luofeng wiped the blood off the knife. She turned to look at Gu Qinghan.

"The mess is all cleaned up. Now, it's time to deal with the children."

Gu Qinghan pointed the tip of his sword at Yu Luofeng.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Jiang Yining watched as the two began to tense up again.

She pinched the bridge of her nose. This was unbearable.

"Alright! Get over here, all of you!" Jiang Yining roared.

They both turned to look at her at the same time.

Jiang Yining pointed to the judge's corpse on the ground.

"The Protoss army will be here soon. If you want to fight to the death here and get wiped out by the Protoss, I won't stop you. But I won't die with you."

She turned and walked toward the secret passage at the back of the main hall.

Yu Luofeng and Gu Qinghan exchanged a glance.

Neither side was willing to back down an inch.

Yu Luofeng quickly caught up with Jiang Yining and grabbed her hand.

Gu Qinghan, not to be outdone, followed closely on the other side.

The three figures disappeared into the depths of the secret passage, leaving behind only a mess.

The secret passage was cold and damp.

The walls were covered with slippery moss, and every ten feet there was a luminous pearl emitting a faint green light, barely illuminating a small area underfoot.

The air was filled with a musty smell that had been sealed for thousands of years, mixed with the scent of soil and some unknown humus.

Jiang Yining walked at the very front.

Her left wrist was gripped by Gu Qinghan, and her right wrist was gripped by Yu Luofeng.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, were like two most loyal yet most troublesome door gods, sandwiching her in the middle.

"Relax."

Jiang Yining spoke for the third time, her voice already showing obvious impatience.

Gu Qinghan placed his fingertips on her pulse point, and a faint trace of pure yang energy persistently probed in, trying to soothe the "restless" fetal energy within her body.

His palms were burning hot.

Yu Luofeng, on the other hand, had icy cold hands with his half-saint ghost body. The chilling energy seeped into his skin and was slowly absorbed by the Myriad Spirit Divine Wood, who treated it like a snack.

"no."

"no."

The two men refused in unison.

Gu Qinghan's reason was perfectly plausible: "Your body is unstable and you need pure yang energy to protect the fetal heartbeat."

Yu Luofeng's reason was extremely domineering: "This is my ghost queen, I can hold her hand whenever I want."

Jiang Yining stopped and turned around.

In the narrow passage, her turning around was extremely difficult.

Her back was almost pressed against Gu Qinghan's chest, and then she bumped into Yu Luofeng's arms.

The man's presence instantly enveloped her.

On the left is a cool medicinal fragrance mixed with the intense heat of pure yang energy.

To the right was a heavy stench of blood mixed with the chilling aura of malevolent energy.

The two scents met and collided at the tip of her nose, forming an extremely strange balance.

"Are you trying to crush me to death here, and then let the Protoss come in and collect our corpses?"
