Weird, my gaming life

Rumble—!

The ground beneath their feet felt as if the entire mountain range was about to be uprooted. The artificial hill in the courtyard was instantly covered in cracks, and the water in the pond churned violently, spilling out.

The woman wearing the plum blossom mask suddenly stopped walking with her unhurried steps, and her alluring figure stiffened for a moment.

The charming smile on her face vanished, replaced by astonishment and disbelief.

opportunity!

The thought flashed through Lin Yuan's mind instantly. Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed Zhao Ran, who was already terrified and pale.

"Senior sister, grab me!"

Zhao Ran instinctively gripped Lin Yuan's arm tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Instead of retreating, Lin Yuan advanced, his figure as fast as lightning, and instantly rushed to Li Changqing, who was still in a dazed state.

He didn't have time to use complicated spiritual techniques to awaken his master, so he could only use the most direct and domineering method.

Lin Yuan clenched his right fist, his inner energy surging, yet he held back. A fierce fist intent originating from the "Vajra Wrathful Dragon Tiger Fist," mixed with the power of spiritual intimidation, condensed at the tip of his fist.

"Master, wake up!"

Lin Yuan let out a low shout and abruptly stopped his fist an inch in front of Li Changqing.

The invisible fist intent struck Li Changqing's mental world like a heavy hammer. Li Changqing's body trembled violently, his intoxicated eyes suddenly contracted, and a sliver of clarity returned.

"Disciple...disciple?" He looked at Lin Yuan in front of him, then at the chaotic scene around him, and didn't react for a moment.

"You little brat, how dare you!"

The woman in the plum blossom mask finally came to her senses and, upon seeing Lin Yuan's actions, flew into a rage.

She never expected that this seemingly subdued child would be so resilient and able to launch such a decisive counterattack even under the influence of her seductive arts.

A fragrant breeze wafted over, and she formed her five fingers into a claw, carrying a chilling force, aiming straight for Lin Yuan's back.

She used real skill in that claw strike, clearly intending to cripple this unruly "toy" first.

However, this was the moment Lin Yuan had been waiting for.

He stomped his left foot hard on the cracked ground, unleashing the full power of his Swift Movement Tiger Step. His entire body seemed weightless as he pulled Zhao Ran and dragged Li Changqing, shifting sideways at an incredible angle.

The woman's claws grazed his back, carving five deep furrows into the ground where he had been standing.

"Want to leave?" The woman's voice turned icy cold, devoid of any seductive charm.

Just as she was about to give chase, an even more terrifying tremor came from the direction of the main peak of Qinghe Palace!

"Snap—!"

A deafening cracking sound echoed through the heavens and earth.

Everyone, whether disciples of Qinghe Palace or demonic figures from the Demonic Sect, looked up in horror.

The highest peak of Qinghe Palace was seen to have broken apart, with countless tons of boulders tumbling down and dust billowing into the sky, obscuring the moonlight.

The whole mountain was wailing.

This is absolutely beyond human capability!

Just as everyone was filled with fear at the power of heaven and earth, a dazzling azure-jade light shot into the sky from inside the fractured mountain.

Amidst the radiance, an enormous figure slowly rose into the air.

It was a strange beast whose entire body was like a piece of beautiful blue jade. It resembled a Qilin, but had a single horn on its head. Its four hooves trod on ripples like water, and its eyes were like the purest lake, tranquil yet containing endless majesty.

As soon as it appeared, the violent tremors miraculously subsided.

"roar--"

The strange beast looked up and let out a long roar.

The whistling sound was not a sound, but a visible blue ripple, like ripples on the surface of water, that swept across the entire Qinghe Palace in an instant.

Those disciples of the demonic sect swept by this ripple, the weaker ones didn't even have time to scream before their bodies dissipated into the air like purified black smoke. The stronger ones coughed up blood, their spirits waning, as if most of their vitality had been drained away.

On the other hand, the disciples of Qinghe Palace felt a warm current flow into their bodies as the ripples touched them, and their original injuries and fatigue were greatly relieved.

"The Jade Kirin of Qinghe... the Holy Lord actually awakened it!"

For the first time, the woman in the plum blossom mask's voice carried an undisguised look of horror and a hint of...greed.

She stared intently at the jade unicorn in the sky, as if she were seeing some priceless treasure.

It's now!

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed, and taking advantage of the moment when everyone, including the woman in the plum blossom mask, was attracted by the jade unicorn, he pushed his Tiger Step movement technique to its limit.

Instead of trying to escape to an open area, he grabbed his master and senior sister and plunged into the ruins of the alchemy room next door, which had been partially collapsed by the earthquake.

The shattered walls and collapsed beams formed a natural barrier, and the thick smoke and dust completely obscured their figures.

"Master, what... what is that?" Zhao Ran's voice was still trembling. She leaned out and looked at the sacred and majestic beast in the sky, completely shocked.

Li Changqing also fully regained consciousness. Looking at the jade unicorn, his face was filled with excitement and reverence: "It is our sect's guardian beast! I never imagined that I would see it with my own eyes in my lifetime!"

Lin Yuan ignored their shock. He held his breath and coldly observed the situation outside through the gaps in the ruins.

The appearance of the Jade Kirin of Qinghe completely disrupted the Demonic Sect's offensive rhythm.

The woman in the plum blossom mask was clearly one of the leaders of this operation. Her face was no longer relaxed. She let out a sharp shriek towards the sky, as if giving some kind of order.

The black-clad demons, who had been attacking in all directions, quickly regrouped and began to form a strange formation. Strands of black energy rose from their bodies and converged in mid-air to form a giant ghost face, which roared towards the jade unicorn.

The woman in the plum blossom mask then swayed and sped off in another direction.

Lin Yuan watched the direction the mysterious woman had left, his eyes flickering slightly.

He was very familiar with the direction the woman was heading—it was the Xiao Yang lineage. Could it be that Xiao Weiran possessed something important?

Unfortunately, all of this is no longer relevant to him.

He looked away and glanced at his senior sister, who was still in shock, and his master, who was still shaken.

"Let's hide first," Lin Yuan said calmly. "We'll go out after the fighting outside is over."

His voice wasn't loud, but it had a reassuring quality.

Li Changqing and Zhao Ran exchanged a glance, both seeing the same shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

They looked at the six-year-old child before them, who, amidst such a cataclysmic event, was the most composed of them all.

Beyond the ruins, an earth-shattering battle had erupted. The divine light of the Jade Kirin clashed fiercely with the black energy of the Demonic Sect, each clash causing the earth to tremble once more.

Lin Yuan leaned against the broken wall, listening quietly to the roar outside, his heart undisturbed.

He didn't have deep feelings for Qinghe Palace, nor did he have any intention of risking his life for the sect.

In this vast sect, the only people he truly cared about were his master and senior sister, since they were the kindest people to him since he joined the sect.

As for the lives and deaths of others, what did it have to do with him? The guardian beast of Qinghe Palace did give him some shock, but only a slight shock.

After all, he had seen the guardian beasts of the sect in the game in his previous life, but the impact of real-life guardian beasts was much greater than that of virtual ones.

That was an existence far beyond the Innate Realm. He also understood why the Demonic Sect had come; they simply wanted to seize the Mountain Guardian Beast because their sect leader was injured, since the Mountain Guardian Beast was full of treasures.

He didn't know if Qinghe Palace could survive this ordeal; if not, he would probably have to move elsewhere.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the continuous flow of internal energy within his body, as well as the two high-grade martial arts techniques that he had already mastered.

This amount of power is still a bit weak; he needs to become stronger.
