Fairy, please don't do this!

It instantly sliced ​​through the air, cut through the airflow, and also sliced ​​through the sky full of azure sword light.

The sword intent, still lingering, instantly swept towards the girl.

The girl's forward momentum suddenly froze, and she could only channel her spiritual power to unleash another sword strike.

But in the next instant, the cyan sword light was once again obliterated, and the wooden sword in his hand broke in two.

He staggered back several steps before barely managing to stand, his face deathly pale and his hand gripping the sword trembling.

The girl clutched her chest, feeling her blood and qi churning within her body, her spiritual energy restless and uncontrollable.

She looked at the girl opposite her, and although she was somewhat unwilling, she finally lowered her head: "I lost!"

Luo Ling'er remained expressionless, slightly turned her wrist, sheathed the wooden sword, and turned to leave.

The elder overseeing the battle gave Luo Ling'er a deep look and announced loudly, "Luo Ling'er wins this battle and advances to the top ten!"

The sound spread, causing an uproar around the training ground!

The many members of the Luo family watched her departing figure, each with a different expression.

There was shock, fear, and confusion, but more than anything, there was a complex sense of lament.

Almost everyone in the Luo family knows about Luo Ling'er.

Her birth mother was of low status, and because the mistress Liu Yunhong disliked her, the mother and daughter were driven to the most remote servants' courtyard, where they suffered a lot of hardship!

Because of the birthmark on her face, Luo Ling'er was often ridiculed by her peers and was even called "Ugly Luo".

Therefore, he was timid and had low self-esteem from a young age. Even when he was bullied, he would only silently endure it and never dare to fight back.

But now, this ugly girl who once dared not even lift her head has been completely transformed!

Not only did he embark on cultivation, but he also possessed an astonishing level of skill.

Since the start of the Luo family competition, no matter who her opponent was or what moves they used, she always only used one sword strike.

Beside the training ground, inside an exquisite pavilion.

A woman dressed in a magnificent brocade dress and adorned with pearls and jade stood by the railing, her gaze fixed on the petite figure gradually leaving the martial arts arena. Her face instantly turned as cold as frost.

Liu Yunhong called softly, "Tian'er."

"What do you need, Mother?"

Luo Tian bowed slightly, his posture respectful.

Liu Yunhong turned to stare at him, her voice icy cold: "When you fight that little bastard tomorrow, destroy her spiritual palace."

Although Luo Tian didn't understand why his mother wanted him to do this, he still nodded and replied, "I understand."

"Go and prepare well!"

Liu Yunhong then revealed a satisfied smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes; instead, it appeared even more sinister.

"Yes!"

Luo Tian responded and turned to leave the pavilion.

After watching her son leave, Liu Yunhong narrowed her eyes slightly.

She truly hadn't expected that Luo Ling'er, that little bastard, would actually survive without the [Crimson Fire Pill] to suppress the cold poison.

Later, he embarked on the path of cultivation, became an eighth-grade cultivator, and shone brightly in the Luo family competition!

But if she really thinks that with this little skill she can turn the tables and avenge her mother, she is just being delusional!

Liu Yunhong knew very well that Luo Ling'er hated her to the core.

I hate her for killing her mother, I hate her for the mistreatment she has caused over the years, I wish I could skin her alive and tear her apart.

Faced with such a potential threat, Liu Yunhong never hesitated and naturally sought ways to eliminate it.

However, the Luo family competition strictly forbids taking lives, and even as the matriarch, she cannot openly violate this rule.

Therefore, destroying Luo Ling'er's spiritual palace and cutting off her path of cultivation became the best option.

There are many ways to make a cripple whose cultivation has been completely destroyed "accidentally" disappear...

Chapter 486, The Underworld Cult's Ambushes, Shi Youming's Suspicion (3K)

Early morning, inside the cabin of the Dharma Boat.

Si Ruoyu had just finished administering the last acupuncture to Gu Jinzhao when she finally let out a long breath: "Chao'er's soul injury has been fully recovered. His physical injuries will need a few more days of recuperation, but they are no longer a big problem."

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days, Aunt Ruo."

Gu Jinchao sat up, stretched his limbs, and felt his spiritual energy and true essence flowing smoothly within him, his mind clear.

Si Ruoyu said softly, "It's not just me, but also Yiren and Qingci!"

Boom—

Before the words were finished, a loud thud was heard.

The entire magic boat suddenly trembled, as if it had crashed into an invisible barrier. The objects inside the cabin rattled, and the spiritual energy shield flickered!

"what happened?"

Si Ruoyu and Gu Jinzhao steadied themselves, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with both doubt and astonishment.

At that moment, the cabin door was suddenly pushed open, and a graceful figure dressed in a soft turquoise dress flashed in.

It was Lin Qingci!

Her expression was extremely grave, and she quickly explained the current situation: "Senior brother, Aunt Ruo, something has happened outside."

"The Dharma Ark was ambushed, and it was done by Shi Youming, the leader of the Underworld God Cult, who personally led his troops!"

"Master has already engaged Shi Youming, and Palace Master is currently fighting fiercely with two second-grade Dao Seeking Realm cultivators."

Gu Jinchao's brows furrowed suddenly: "Where is Sister Yiren?"

He knew the Church of the Underworld was making a move, but he didn't expect them to arrive so quickly, and even their leader, Shi Youming, had come.

Lin Qingci explained, "She is steering the magic boat to change course, turning towards the western border, hoping to reunite with the Empress Dowager!"

After the negotiations between the Cangyue Dynasty and the Demon Court concluded, Xiao Qingyi set off for the Western Territory to meet her younger brother, Marquis Pingxi, Xiao Yuan.

Those who participated in the Cangmo Hunting Ceremony returned to Yujing one after another.

"The Empress's departure was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a carefully planned one!"

"go!"

Gu Jinzhao quickly put on his robes and, together with Si Ruoyu and Lin Qingci, rushed towards the core of the Dharma Boat.

After the Empress Dowager left, the Underworld Cult made its move.

This was clearly not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a meticulously planned one.

The purpose, of course, is to obtain the fortune within his body!

When Gu Jinzhao and his two companions arrived at the core of the Dharma Boat.

Then they saw that aloof figure dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, making hand seals, with spiritual energy surging around him, trying his best to stabilize the magic boat.

Gu Jinchao asked, "Why did the Dharma Boat stop?"

Mu Yiren's gaze turned solemn: "The space within a thousand miles is imprisoned by a great divine power, and the magic boat cannot move forward."

"Only by defeating the spellcaster can we escape!"

Gu Jinzhao glanced around the control room and outside, but did not find Luo Yirao, so he asked, "Has Lord Luo gone?"

On their return to Yujing, besides him and Aunt Ruo and the other women, Luo Yirao was also on the Dharma boat.

Mu Yiren gave a soft "hmm," her expression extremely serious: "I have already sent out a message on a paper crane to ask for help, but it was intercepted and wiped out by the powerful members of the Underworld God Cult before it even reached a thousand miles away."

"I had no choice but to ask my master to tear open the void so I could escape, but I was attacked by two second-grade Dao-seeking realm cultivators..."

The leader of the Underworld God Cult, Shi Youming, was a first-grade perfect master with unparalleled strength. If it weren't for Tantai Xuanji's presence, everyone would probably have met their demise.

Besides Shi Youming, there were two other second-grade Dao Seeking Realm cultivators, as well as many powerful members of the Underworld God Sect.

Mu Yiren was also unclear about what the Underworld God Sect intended to achieve by making such a big show of things!

Although they made a name for themselves in the Cangmo Hunting Ceremony, they are still immature juniors in the end. How could they possibly threaten the Underworld God Cult?

Even if the other side were truly afraid that they would grow stronger in the future and wanted to nip them in the bud, Shi Youming shouldn't have personally taken action.

After all, a first-grade Dao Integration Realm expert is already one of the strongest in the world. Once they make a move, it will surely cause a huge uproar, or even destroy the world.

Just like outside, the battlefield between Shi Youming and Tantai Xuanji almost made the world change color.

Si Ruoyu looked around but couldn't find the two little ones: "Where are Hongdou and Xiaoli?"

While helping to inject spiritual power and stabilize the magic boat, Lin Qingci replied, "When the Palace Master tore apart the spatial barrier just now, I used the Heavenly Sect's secret technique to cover the aura of Xiaoli and Hongdou."

"Then, we used a spatial artifact to silently teleport them thousands of miles away, so they could go to the Dao Realm and the Western Realm respectively to seek help!"

The current predicament can only be resolved by those at the First Grade Dao Integration Realm.

Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager went to the Western Region, and the Daoist Master also returned to the Central Plains Dao Realm.

Otherwise, why would they be afraid of the Church of the Underworld?

Hearing this, Gu Jinzhao felt somewhat relieved.

Lin Qingci's move was certainly correct.

The two little ones were not highly skilled, and their auras were extremely difficult to detect once concealed.

Moreover, Red Bean's true form is a demon sparrow, which can fly even without using demonic power, allowing her to quickly leave with the calico cat.

Moreover, the Church of the Underworld's target is him, and they don't care much about others, so there is naturally no danger.

But at that moment, An Wanxi's voice suddenly echoed in Gu Jinzhao's mind:

"My dear husband, a terrifying spatial force is enveloping the magic boat. It must originate from a spatial magic treasure of semi-immortal level!"

A spatial magic treasure of semi-divine quality?

And it belongs to the Church of the Underworld?

Gu Jinzhao instantly realized what was happening, his expression changing slightly: "It's the [Boundary Void Flag]!"

"From beginning to end, their intention was not to ambush and kill us here, but to create an opportunity to teleport us to a pre-planned location using the Boundary Flag!"

Shi Youming did not intend to kill him, but to capture him alive, otherwise he would not be able to extract the luck from his body.

Given the opponent's cultivation level, if Xiao Qingyi and Dao Zun were not present, naturally no one could stop them.

Unexpectedly, Tantai Xuanji also reached the first rank.

The two second-grade Dao Seeking Realm cultivators were also stopped by Gong Lingyun. If the matter dragged on, it would be impossible to succeed once the powerful sects or court officials from the nearby northern border arrived.

Therefore, the only option is to use the semi-divine artifact, the [Boundary Void Flag], to teleport the person away.

As for the location of the teleportation, it is very likely to be the headquarters of the Underworld Cult.

"Leave the Dharma Ark! Quickly!"

Thinking of this, Gu Jinzhao shouted and tried to pull Si Ruoyu, Mu Yiren and Lin Qingci out.

However, it was too late!

The scene before my eyes suddenly distorted, the space like a scroll being crumpled by an invisible hand, with light and objects spinning and twisting wildly.

An irresistible and terrifying suction force came from the depths of the void, instantly engulfing the entire magic ship!

A dizzying sensation swept over me, and the surrounding turbulent spacetime felt like it was being cut by a knife!

Like a small boat on a raging sea, the Dharma Boat was swept up by the violent spatial forces and plummeted rapidly into the unknown depths of the void!

"Wife, lend me the power of your soul!"

At the critical moment, Gu Jinzhao called out in his sea of ​​consciousness.

hum-

As he finished speaking, the veins in his chest began to throb, instantly transforming into a wisteria branch.

As the patterns flowed, a vast and boundless divine soul power surged forth, instantly pouring into the spiritual platform.

Gu Jinchao dared not delay for the slightest. He flipped his right hand, and the [Earthly Branches Mirror] appeared in his palm.
