Forcibly Justified
The White-robed person was determined to awaken the War Abyss God King, perhaps hoping to use the power of the Eternal Opportunity. Since Lucius didn't have what they wanted, he naturally wouldn't attack him without reason.
Yun Xi asked this question indirectly, questioning the White-robed Leader why he had to be with her.
As expected, a hint of embarrassment flashed across the White-robed Leader's face. His expression faltered slightly, and his previously confident demeanor instantly turned somewhat flustered.
His gaze darted away, not daring to look Yun Xi in the eye, and his hands unconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes.
After a moment, he cleared his throat, trying to cover up his lapse in composure. "Your Yun Xi, you are unaware of the truth. Although you are the Soul Fragment Reincarnation Son of the God of Light, you are fundamentally different from the main soul. The aura and power fluctuations on your body are more in line with the descriptions in the ancient prophecy of our War Abyss Clan. Only you have the hope of awakening the God King."
Yun Xi listened to the White-robed Leader's far-fetched explanation, her annoyance surged like an uncontrollable tide.
She had been patiently listening to the other person's words, trying to find flaws and the truth, but the other person's fickle words and evasive attitude made her feel that it was all just a meaningless game.
At that moment, she felt that her time had been wasted and her anger was burning fiercely.
She ignored the White-robed Leader's incessant chatter and turned to leave. Her long hair danced wildly in the wind, and her skirt fluttered, leaving behind lingering shadows.
The White-robed Leader's face darkened instantly as he watched Yun Xi's resolute departure. His eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of ferocity and resentment flashing in them.
He originally thought that with his words and persuasion, he could change Yun Xi's mind and obediently go with them to the place where the War Abyss Light God King was sleeping.
After all, he believed that what he said was convincing enough. Whether it was the importance of awakening the God King for the entire Temple of Light, or the various promises he made to Yun Xi, he believed they should be able to move the young girl.
But he never expected Yun Xi to be so stubborn and decisive. She didn't buy into his act at all, and without even the slightest hesitation, she chose to leave.
This made the White-robed Leader feel that his authority had been greatly challenged, and the anger in his heart was about to erupt like a volcano.
His hands clenched into fists unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force. His body trembled slightly, clearly as he desperately suppressed his anger.
The White-robed person around him shuddered at the sight of their leader's expression and lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Chase her! No matter what, bring her here!" the White-robed Leader said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger and determination.
At his command, the White-robed person men immediately sprang into action, transforming into streaks of white light and shadow as they chased after the departing Yun Xi Bi.
Yun Xi was speeding ahead, and she could feel the urgent atmosphere coming from behind her.
Although Yun Xi wasn't afraid of them, she still had some concerns. She didn't want to make a fatal enemy of the War Abyss God King who would awaken in the future. After thinking about it, she stopped.
In her view, although these White-robed person were descendants of the War Abyss God King and possessed a profound foundation that others could hardly match, so what? They had not yet reached the Lord God Tier, and in Yun Xi's eyes, they were not enough to make her feel fear.
Those White-robed person transformed into streaks of white light and shadow, standing before Yun Xi like ghosts.
They began to outline the Sorcery Patterns, and streaks of white light shot out from their fingertips, swiftly attacking Yun Xi.
This white light seemed to possess a life of its own, drawing eerie arcs in the air with a strong sense of oppression, precisely locking onto Yun Xi.
Yun Xi frowned slightly. Just like before, no matter how fast she moved, she couldn't avoid these lock-on white light attacks.
White streaks of light rained down on her Light Control Technique, producing a series of crisp, clear sounds.
However, to the astonishment of the White-robed person, these attacks struck Yun Xi's Light Control Technique without even causing a splash. The light barrier trembled slightly before quickly returning to its calm state, steadily protecting Yun Xi.
It's important to understand that this time, it wasn't just that reckless subordinate who made the move; it was one of their best, several of the strongest high-level Light Gods of the War Abyss Clan...
Yun Xi's annoyance had reached its peak. She stopped dodging and defending. A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she quickly outlined the Sorcery Patterns the Light Arrow Technique. A dazzling light arrow condensed at her fingertips.
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, accurately calculating the position and health of the White-robed Leader. The moment she made her move, she had already planned the attack energy and angle in her mind.
With a flick of Yun Xi's finger, the light arrow streaked across the sky like a meteor, shooting towards the White-robed Leader with a sharp whistling sound.
The White-robed Leader was completely focused on directing his men to attack Yun Xi, unaware of this sudden counterattack. By the time he felt a powerful force rushing towards him, it was too late to dodge.
The arrow of light struck the White-robed Leader squarely in the chest. His body was sent flying several meters backward as if struck by a heavy hammer. Blood gushed from his mouth as his body crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
His face instantly turned deathly pale, and his breathing became weak and erratic. Fortunately, Yun Xi's calculations were precise; although she severely injured him, she did not kill him.
The White-robed Leader struggled to stand, but his body slumped to the ground against his will. He looked at Yun Xi with a mixture of fear and anger, feeling both shocked by Yun Xi's strength and regretful for underestimating her.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Yun Xi stopped, turned around, and coldly looked at the group of White-robed person. Her clear and firm voice echoed in the silent air, "Alright, stop chasing me. To tell you the truth, I already have the protection of a God-King."
"Don't say I don't need the help of War Abyss God King. Even if I did need War Abyss God King, I wouldn't rashly go to the sleeping place of a God King. Don't think I don't know what you're up to."
Yun Xi didn't lie to them, after all, the Water God King of Lin Yuan was indeed her protector.
Regardless of whether the War Abyss God King's strength has weakened due to his slumber, Yun Xi does not want to get involved at this stage.
As for what the White-robed Leader said—that the God King Fiend Gui had already set his sights on her—she believed that with her current strength, she wouldn't be easily killed by the God King Fiend, and at worst, she could summon Lin Yuan.
