He could have avoided the limelight and left, but by sheer coincidence, he uttered those four words at this critical juncture. Lu Li was struck dumb, as if his Achilles' heel had been instantly pierced.
He's been working so hard for so long, isn't it all to find Lu Ling?
The clues had been lost for a long time, but they finally reappeared.
"Wait, explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by 'Heartless Protector'? What mission?"
"This is a task given to me by Protector Xinwu. I need to get her a Ghost Face Flower. Right now, the high-ranking members of the two outer sects are fighting on the outskirts of the Boundless Realm. You are a rogue cultivator. If you sneak away, they shouldn't make things difficult for you."
"It's not my fault, I am..."
"Is your elder still coming? If she is a cultivator at the Spirit Pivot Realm, even if she suppresses her cultivation, she shouldn't be able to enter this area."
"hiss……"
"It's alright, don't blame yourself. It was my oversight this time. If you can pass on the information, please tell the sect that Xie Lingyin probably won't be coming back, and we can start preparing to select a new Holy Maiden."
As Xie Lingyin said this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, carrying three parts self-mockery and seven parts helplessness. To make matters worse, Old Duan jumped in at this moment to add insult to injury:
"Hahaha, my good disciple, you're dumbfounded now, aren't you? If you use the uranium pill here, your thing is really going to burst."
"Speak, speak again!"
"I told you long ago that your thing would explode sooner or later, but it doesn't matter. Just leave like this and nothing will happen. Anyway, once she dies, the position of Holy Maiden will be vacant. Maybe you can even run for it, hahaha... I would be happy to see you ascend to the throne of Holy Maiden."
Lu Li remained expressionless, but his chest heaved violently and uncontrollably.
“You, you should be able to hold out for a while longer. As long as you release the puppet, break through the encirclement, and go another fifty miles, no, thirty miles, my elders will arrive.”
"Hmm... She's not a puppet, she's my sister. If you had a sister, you'd understand. I'm the older sister. She's the one who protects me during our little squabbles. Without her, I wouldn't have become a saintess. Now that there's real danger, it's my turn to protect her."
"I'll distract them later and use the Rift Bell to tear a rift. You take the Rift Bell; my sister is inside. Take her and escape."
【Sky-Splitting Bell】A third-stage cosmic artifact that can contain living things and teleport objects within a radius of 100 feet. Its only drawback is that it requires someone to activate it from the outside.
"Thank you for coming along and giving me a chance to struggle. It's a pity you don't have a sister, so you might think what I did was stupid... I hope you don't find it ridiculous."
As Xie Lingyin spoke, she struggled and choked up slightly as she unleashed a barrage of divine powers upon the protective barrier surrounding her, which was already on the verge of collapse.
The bell at her waist swayed gently, and a halting, hoarse female voice came from it.
"Sister, let me out, I can fight again."
"Shut up and go with her."
Seeing this, Lu Li roared inwardly.
I have a younger sister, who said I don't?
We met by chance. If I didn't have that sister, I would have left by now and didn't care about anything. It's because I have her that I stayed!
Why did you say such things? Why did you have to mention those four words? If only you were as beastly as the others in the White Moon Palace.
That way I can leave this place of trouble with a clear conscience, turn around and spit on you, call you a second-generation immortal, want to gloat, and try to recite a poem but can't.
At this moment, Old Duan said happily:
"What sister do you have? Your sister died a long time ago and was turned into a puppet. Just run away. Anyway, the clues about your sister are not as important as your dick."
"Still trying to provoke me! You think I'll fall for that?"
"You're wrong. When you realize it's a conspiracy, but find yourself having to do it, then it's no longer a provocation, it's an open conspiracy."
Chapter 123 is simple, I'll just reach the Creation Realm, won't I?
The girl held a mechanical umbrella in one hand and made a hand seal behind her back with the other, trying to activate the Sky-Splitting Bell. What she had to face was the siege of six Open Source Realm cultivators and the three-turn mechanical artifact under Meng Zhang's feet.
After several struggles, Xie Lingyin quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. She was beaten black and blue, with blood streaming from her head, but she still struggled to hold on. Strands of her cherry-pink hair were already stained red and stuck to her face, adding a touch of tragic beauty to her delicate face.
Meng Zhang stood on the crossbow cart, rubbing his chin, occasionally urging the Azure Jade Void Crossbow to fire a bolt.
"The rumors are indeed true. You can only rely on your sister who was turned into a puppet. Without that third-stage puppet, you are not qualified to become a saintess at all, hahaha."
"If I kill you, extract your soul, and process it, what kind of weapon spirit can I forge?"
As he spoke, Meng Zhang formed hand seals, and the Azure Jade Void Crossbow beneath his feet completed its charging, firing another turquoise crossbow bolt.
boom!
The crossbow bolt exploded, and Xie Lingyin's last defensive artifact shattered in response. However, she showed no fear, but instead revealed a relieved expression.
The Void-Splitting Bell hanging at her waist had vanished. She had finally completed the Yu Dao Divine Power and teleported Xie Xiao away. Now she only hoped that the random cultivator she had just met could escape with her sister.
"Xie Lingyin, Xie Lingyin, now that you are about to die, do you have anything to say?"
"No need for further explanation."
"That won't do. If a person doesn't have any obsessions, even if they become a spirit of a weapon, they can be easily obliterated."
hum!
Meng Zhang's face was full of mockery, and the Qingyuan Jade Void Crossbow began to charge again, with turquoise light flashing at its muzzle.
Above her head was an unbreakable barrier. Purple raindrops pattered against the barrier, making a tinkling sound. Xie Lingyin closed her eyes, her delicate body trembling slightly.
Not afraid at all?
Ultimately, it's impossible.
She had simply fulfilled her duty and had no regrets. Her sister would escape, and she might be captured and turned into a weapon spirit. Perhaps, a few months later, she would reappear on the battlefield as a weapon spirit.
Boom!
A faint sound of something breaking through the air reached her ears, followed by the sound of something shattering. Xie Lingyin subconsciously looked up and saw a girl standing above the barrier, her left foot raised above her head at an extremely exaggerated angle before stomping down heavily!
boom!
With this kick, even the barrier that she couldn't break free from before actually developed tiny cracks.
Wait a minute, Lu Li's Golden Dao Divine Power had left a very deep impression on her earlier. Why does it seem like he actually wants to use his physical strength to forcibly tear apart this barrier?
Could it be that she actually specializes in physical strength?
Lost in thought, Lu Li raised his foot again and stomped down hard on the barrier.
"What are you doing here? Get out of here! Take my sister with you and get out of here!"
Lu Li paused briefly, then stepped down again. He didn't reveal the real reason for his return, but simply pouted and casually replied:
"Your sister sent me, and I couldn't refuse her."
"Ah, I finally managed to give you a chance to escape, why did you come back? Why?"
Upon seeing this, Meng Zhang's face immediately lit up with a smile:
"I knew it. You looked so calm as to face your death. But your companion doesn't seem to be very bright. He's not even at the Open Source Realm yet, but he dared to come to the depths of this Boundless Realm."
Lu Li touched the bell at his waist, and a puppet suddenly appeared. This puppet was severely damaged, riddled with holes, with large areas of array plates and wires exposed, sparking, and it was almost on the verge of being scrapped.
A raging fire seemed to be raging in her single, scarlet eye. She raised her fists high and slammed them down fiercely at the barrier below.
boom!
The barrier shattered completely, and Lu Li and Xie Xiao landed steadily. Xie Lingyin was utterly despondent, her eyes rolled back, and she almost fainted from anger at the actions of these two.
Why did you come back?
"elder sister……"
“I don’t have a sister like you. Don’t call me sister. You don’t even listen to me. And you, my sister is immature, but aren’t you immature too? She told you to come, so you came.”
"Don't panic."
"Could it be that your elders have come?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Zhang and the others immediately became alert. They scanned their surroundings with their divine senses and discovered that apart from them, there was no one else there.
"He didn't come."
"Then why did you come back? I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, waaaaah..."
The little saintess could no longer maintain her strong image, burst into tears, and started punching and kicking Lu Li.
When the crisis came, her former companions abandoned her, and only this rogue cultivator sister came. Unfortunately, this girl was not very bright. She had clearly fought desperately to hold off these people, but she brought her sister back to die.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault! I'll haunt you even as a ghost, waaaaah!"
Lu Li let Xie Lingyin punch and kick him. He was currently in a steel-like state with his Azure Netherworld Skin, so the small punches from her were like cat scratches rather than pain or tickle.
He merely coughed lightly, secretly activating the Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument to its maximum, a scorching heat emanating from his chest.
“It’s not proper for an older sister to cry and make a scene in front of her younger sister.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyin immediately fell silent.
"At least you could have escaped before, but now that you're back, how are you going to escape with us?"
“It’s simple, I’ll kill them all.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyin was stunned, while Meng Zhang and the others burst into unrestrained laughter.
"Haha, this girl is really not very bright."
"That's right. If she were even slightly smart, she wouldn't have barged in here. Could it be that her brain has been corrupted by the immeasurable tribulations?"
"That's possible. The effects of the Immeasurable Calamity vary from person to person. Maybe it just happened to affect this girl."
Meng Zhang snorted coldly and said:
"I have no time to argue with you. Since you insist on coming here to die, then you might as well go on your way."
Having said that, the Azure Jade Void Crossbow completed its charging, and a burst of azure spiritual energy shot out. In the blink of an eye, Xie Lingyin stepped forward and blocked Lu Li and Xie Xiao.
But before the divine power could land, Lu Li flashed in front of her at an even faster speed.
"and many more……"
boom!
The arrow exploded, a dazzling blue light flashed, and dust billowed up, completely engulfing their vision. Xie Lingyin's heart sank; she could fully imagine Lu Li's miserable state.
Knowing they are no match, they still act recklessly. How can there be such innocent and foolish rogue cultivators in this world?
As the smoke and dust engulfed her vision, Xie Lingyin gradually realized something was wrong. She knew the power of the Qingyuan Jade Void Crossbow best. Even if Lu Li stood in front of her, it would be impossible to completely block it. So why hadn't she felt anything at all?
Before the smoke and dust had completely dissipated, a female voice, even more melodious and ethereal than before, suddenly rang out:
"Don't die here, I have more questions for you later."
Chapter 124 [The previous chapter was free, notice at the end] Solitary, but only a little bit of solitude remains [4k4]
"How could such a thing be possible?"
Meng Zhang and the others were shocked. Lu Li no longer concealed his aura and it rose steadily, from the Puppeteer Realm to the Source Realm, from the Source Realm to the Spirit Pivot Realm, and then from the Spirit Pivot Realm all the way to the peak of the Creation Realm!
Standing before them was actually a powerful and powerful old monster!
Moreover, this was no ordinary old monster at the Creation Realm; this was a ruthless individual who dared to venture alone into the deepest part of the Boundless Realm, disregarding the erosion of the immeasurable calamity.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a petite figure gradually appeared. Her pale hair danced freely in the wind, and her porcelain doll-like face was exquisitely beautiful, almost inanimate. Her icy blue eyes were devoid of any superfluous emotion.
Just one glance was enough to make everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, with a chill spreading from the soles of their feet all the way to the top of their heads.
"My God, what kind of being have we provoked?"
"Croak! It's the Creation Monster! Retreat!"
"My feet! I can't move my feet! Ugh!"
Suddenly, frost rose from beneath the feet of several Qingyang Palace disciples, climbing upwards at an incredible speed, freezing their flesh and bones, chilling them to the bone. In the blink of an eye, these six Qingyang Palace disciples were transformed into six ice sculptures.
Meng Zhang had long lost his initial arrogance. He no longer cared about his crossbow cart, staggered to the ground, and tried to escape by rolling and crawling.
With a flick of her finger, Lu Li sent out an ice lotus the size of a thumbnail, which quietly flew toward Meng Zhang's back.
Snap snap snap~
With a series of soft sounds, Meng Zhang summoned eight second-tier defensive artifacts, wrapping himself up tightly in layers. As a holy son of a sect, he never lacked such life-saving artifacts.
The reason why the group had been able to defeat Xie Lingyin so quickly was because she possessed nine second-tier defensive artifacts.
However, these defensive measures are meaningless at this moment.
The ice lotus floated out and gently touched the first line of defense. There was neither the intense collision nor the thunderous roar that had been expected. Only a thin layer of frost climbed onto the spiritual energy barrier.
