The Mirror of Startling Beauty: Her courtiers are everywhere

"Boom!"

The two twin statues that had stood for ten thousand years shattered under this sword strike.

The Boundless Calamity Array, which covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles, was like a shattered glass dome. The golden light receded like a tide, revealing the sky that had been covered.

The great formation dissipated.

"The Boundless Calamity Array of Guixu Palace is nothing special!"

Tang Xixue stood atop the snow-covered silver dragon, her gaze slightly lowered, falling upon the shattered remains of the two statues, silently looking down, like a deity looking down upon the dust.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the scene inside the statue's belly was revealed.

There, two hearts, one of the sun and one of the moon, lie quietly.

It is called a heart, but in reality it is two perfectly round spiritual pearls.

It was a blazing gold, as bright as the sun, with dazzling light flowing inside, as if the midday sun was sealed within it.

A pale, moon-like jewel, its entire body tinged with frost, like a handful of moonlight scooped from the bottom of a lake in late autumn.

"Who are you? How dare you destroy the idol? Are you truly not afraid of divine retribution?"

"Divine punishment? Ha! It has no right to punish me!"

Tang Xixue looked at the two spirit pearls.

Her gaze was utterly calm, devoid of any greed.

"Some things, if they're not meant to be its, it shouldn't even think about taking them."

Then, she swung her sword again.

The sword light was as smooth as water, yet it carried the power to split mountains and cleave seas.

This time, the sword's edge precisely swept across both spirit orbs simultaneously.

A fine crack spread from where the sword's edge struck, like the first crack on ice in spring, as thin as a thread, yet irreversible.

"How dare you!" the Palace Master of Guixu shouted sternly.

"Bang!"

The spirit pearl shattered upon impact.

Golden light burst forth from the cracks, like sunlight that had been imprisoned for too long finally breaking free of its cage.

"Open your eyes wide and see if I dare!"

Tang Xixue said in a cold voice, exuding a powerful aura.

"You're defying the heavens!"

The Palace Master of Guixu Palace spoke in a deep voice, watching as countless golden energies surged forth like a flood bursting its banks.

"If the laws of Heaven collapse, what harm is there in defying them?"

Tang Xixue watched as the points of light paused in the air for a moment before scattering and surging towards the fallen beasts.

A blue-scaled eagle huddled among the rubble, its wings dull and lifeless, its once sharp feathers drooping at its sides.

The rise and fall of its chest was so faint as to be almost invisible, and golden specks of light drifted down and landed on its wings.

The dull feather suddenly shimmered with a faint golden light.

Its chest began to rise and fall more powerfully.

A leopard with cloud patterns lies on its side in the ruins.

Its eyes were half-closed, and its pupils had begun to dilate, like two dusty glass beads.

Golden light surged forth, like an invisible hand carefully lifting it from the edge of the abyss.

Its ears twitched slightly.

One after another.

The beasts that fell in the formation, the creatures whose life force had been drained, were now being pulled back little by little in the golden rain of light.

The vitality within the heart of the sun and moon is itself a cycle.

When living beings perish, they give birth to new life, just as the tides rise and fall, just as plants wither and flourish.

At this moment, the beasts have not yet completely died; their vitality is merely temporarily placed here and has not yet entered the next cycle of reincarnation.

So, they can come back.

The breathing of all the beasts rang out one after another.

At first, it was sporadic and faint, like the first bird song at the end of a winter night.

Gradually, they merged into one, rising and falling in waves.

It was as if after a long, harsh winter, the ice and snow had melted and everything was coming back to life.

The Azure-Scaled Eagle slowly opened its eyes.

A sharp light rekindled in its eagle eyes, and it flapped its wings, raising a cloud of fine golden dust.

The clouded leopard struggled to its feet, its limbs still trembling slightly.

It raised its head and let out a low roar towards the sky.

Countless birds and beasts raised their heads one after another from among the ruins and rubble.

They looked up at the snow-white figure standing atop the silver dragon in the sky, and then, almost simultaneously, bent their forelimbs, lowered their heads, and knelt down in reverence to thank her.

They can't speak.

But in those eyes that lit up again, there was the same light.

They never expected to survive.

The beasts had previously been ordered to evacuate.

He did not issue a new order, and after a brief stay, they retreated like the tide into the depths of the mountains and forests.

The sounds of wings cutting through the air, hooves, and rustling leaves gradually faded into the distance, eventually returning to silence.

"Thank you, sister."

As Kong Sangyu looked at those eyes that had lit up again, her nose suddenly stung, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

He recognized his sister Zhi at a glance.

He raised his head and looked up at the figure on the silver dragon, as if gazing upon a god.

"You guys are so annoying."

The white jade flute spun at his fingertips, and as the flute body flipped, light blades poured down like moonlight, accurately striking the Guixu Palace experts who were trying to kill him from all sides, forcing back the surging black shadows one by one.

"Reinforcements have arrived, retreat!"

The Yunlin Guards dared not delay in the slightest.

They couldn't see the figure half-hidden by the clouds high in the sky, but they recognized the dragon.

That is Yun Chuan's guardian beast, the Snow Dragon, and the contracted partner of War King Qi Wang.

"Hurry up!"

With a low shout from the leader of the Cloud Scale Guards, the group immediately protected Mei Ruohuan, Pei Ningran, and the seriously injured Pei Zhao, and retreated rapidly to the outer perimeter.

This is the stronghold of Guixu Palace. The enemy has a large number of people and a powerful force. Although the great formation has been broken, its residual power still remains.

If you don't go now, when will you wait?

Pei Zhao was supported by two Yunlin Guards, and he staggered.

His prison clothes were already soaked in blood, and with each step he took, drops of blood dripped from the corner of his clothes, blooming into dark red flowers on the gravel.

But he still turned around and glanced at the sky.

"Who...is that person?"

"We are so grateful to this benefactor for saving us this time; otherwise, we would all be..."

Mei Ruohuan held Pei Ningran tightly in her arms, the little girl's face buried in her shoulder, her little hands still clutching her clothes.

She also raised her head.

"That must be a deity!"

The snow-white figure standing on the back of the silver dragon was shrouded in golden light, appearing extremely sacred.

"This is no ordinary person."

Pei Zhao withdrew his gaze, his lips twitching slightly.

That scene was silently etched into my mind.

A waiting car was already prepared outside.

The Yunlin Guards' excellent training was on full display at this moment. In just a short while, everyone had withdrawn from the area of ​​the Guixu Palace ruins and sped towards the depths of the mountains and forests.

"The Palace Master of Guixu Palace".

Tang Xixue stood atop the snow-covered silver dragon, her gaze finally settling on the figure shrouded in golden light.

"We've finally met."

Her voice pierced through the wind and dust, like a thin blade, precisely striking the silence.

The moment she finished speaking, the Longevity Sword in her hand was already swung out.

The sword strike was delivered cleanly and decisively, without any preparatory force, aimed directly at the golden mask on the face of the Guixu Palace Master.

The sword light tore through the lingering smoke and dust, shattering the silence between the two.

"Click."

The sound of the mask shattering was crisp and short.
