A Hair's Breadth Away!

Yan Family.

Grand Elder Yan Song received a letter and a recording stone tonight.

Upon opening it, he discovered the contents of the recording stone were of his three women!

The letter, meanwhile, only contained a single sentence.

"If you want to save them, come to Crescent Moon Valley alone. Otherwise, they will not see tomorrow's sun."

Bang!!

Yan Song, enraged, crushed the recording stone and the letter.

Then, without notifying anyone, he left the Yan Family alone, heading furiously towards Crescent Moon Valley.

Crescent Moon Valley.

Deep in the quiet night, within the valley, Yan Song's three kept women were still unconscious, tied to a tree.

Meng Ruoxue, dressed in blue, moved with a light grace. A veil covered her peerless face as she stood quietly, awaiting her target.

At this moment, behind a rock high above the valley.

Chu Yun and the Sky Demoness concealed their auras, not daring to get too close, observing secretly from behind the rock.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this old man really knows how to have fun."

"Three women, all young, and all beautiful as flowers. Old body, young heart, worth learning from."

Chu Yun glanced at the appearance of the three women. Their skin was moist and radiant, indicating they were well-cared for. Yan Song's physique also seemed remarkably robust.

"What? You want three wives and multiple concubines too?" The Sky Demoness looked at him strangely.

Chu Yun chuckled, "What are you saying? My heart is naturally divided into several pieces, each falling in love with a different woman."

"But the one I love the most is definitely you, Xin'er."

The Sky Demoness glared at him with a look of disdain, "Smooth talker. You know exactly what's in your heart."

Actually, the Sky Demoness possessed a great deal of tolerance towards Chu Yun.

After all, she understood that if Chu Yun were to inherit the throne in the future, it would be unrealistic for him to have only one woman by his side.

Moreover, having witnessed too much in her past life, she knew very well not to try to control a man with his own will.

To want him to succeed and yet remain eternally devoted to you—that's a fairy tale.

As long as he held her in his heart, the Sky Demoness was content.

Chu Yun smiled brightly. Suddenly, a brilliant light of Nirvana descended from afar like a shooting star. His expression turned serious, "They're here."

At the bottom of the valley, the light of Nirvana landed on the ground, transforming into a bald old man in a gray robe, his face filled with rage and an imposing aura.

Meng Ruoxue stood opposite him, her gaze fixed on him. "Grand Elder Yan Song, a pleasure to meet you."

"Stop feeding me your crap!"

"Let my women go!"

"Otherwise, I'll make sure you die without a whole body tonight!!"

Rumor had it Yan Song had a short temper, and seeing him now, it was indeed true.

He pointed directly at Meng Ruoxue, cursing her relentlessly without restraint.

Meng Ruoxue, however, was unfazed. Her voice, like heavenly music, spoke calmly, "Alright, I'll release them."

Immediately, Meng Ruoxue began to untie the three women and then used her spiritual energy to send them to Yan Song.

Yan Song stared at her vigilantly. After confirming that the three were only lightly unconscious and unharmed, the anxiety in his heart finally eased somewhat. "Who exactly are you?"

"And what do you want?"

Yan Song couldn't understand Meng Ruoxue's motive. She lured him here by capturing his women, only to release them so easily?

He was truly bewildered.

"My goal is very simple."

"I want to borrow something from you."

Yan Song frowned. "Borrow what?"

"Your life."

As soon as Meng Ruoxue finished speaking, the ground of Crescent Moon Valley lit up with array patterns, illuminating the night sky. The formation had directly trapped Yan Song.

Above, the formation's power condensed into thousands of lightning arrows, thunder raging across the sky, descending with immense force.

On the ground, the entire earth turned into a swamp, with countless muddy hands reaching out to grab Yan Song and the others.

In front of Meng Ruoxue, the final killing array activated. A thousand-meter-tall giant wielding a battle axe appeared in the sky, its body covered in array patterns, like a miniature Battle Venerable Body. It brought down an axe.

All three killing arrays were meticulously arranged by Meng Ruoxue, a gesture of respect, so to speak, for Yan Song.

Yan Song looked at the dense array attacks sealing him from all four sides. His face immediately turned grim.

"Great Annihilation Seal!!"

He brought his hands together, unleashing a cross-shaped palm print from each, imbued with dense Nirvana Power. Unyielding and indomitable, it was a powerful strike.

Bang!!

The Battle Venerable Body's battle axe was repelled by his palm prints, and the myriad lightning arrows were also crushed by the force of the seals.

But the swamp tentacles had already seized the three women, preparing to drag them to the bottom of the mire.

Yan Song, burning with rage, moved like a phantom, instantly appearing. The Nirvana Light coalescing around his limbs formed a colossal mountain, which he slammed down onto the swamp, severing the tentacles.

He caught the three women and placed them atop the mountain.

At the same moment, the killing formation shifted once more.

The lightning arrows absorbed the swamp mud, converging into massive meteorites that rained down. Meng Ruoxue, standing atop the giant's head, controlled it to confront Yan Song's Nirvana Power head-on.

"Great Sumeru Palm!!"

Yan Song unleashed his full power, his Nirvana Power contained within a single palm. He struck with a sky-shattering giant seal, its mere released aura capable of overturning mountains and seas.

He finally understood now why she had let his women go.

It was precisely to use them, to distract him.

And Meng Ruoxue's objective had indeed been achieved. To protect his three women, Yan Song was forced to divert some of his attention to them.

This move was exactly what Meng Ruoxue had hoped for.

The Great Sumeru Palm blocked the furiously crashing meteorites and the heavy impact of the giant's battle axe.

However, he had forgotten about Meng Ruoxue.

"Wheel of Destiny!"

Meng Ruoxue had been searching for an opportunity, and at this moment, Yan Song was fully focused on dealing with the powers of the killing formation, inadvertently letting his guard down against her.

The next moment, a colossal Wheel of Destiny appeared on the mountain peak like a phantom, adorned with the radiance of fate, sacred and noble, its power beyond imagination!

The Wheel of Destiny immediately descended upon Yan Song.

Yan Song had no time to react, exposing his entire back to her.

If this Wheel of Destiny struck, Yan Song's Nirvana Body would be severely wounded, and he would be completely drawn into Meng Ruoxue's controlled rhythm.

"You wish to break through to the Nirvana Realm so badly."

"Did you ask me first?"

At the critical moment, the Sky Demoness's demonic light pierced directly through the formation's barrier.

Her and Chu Yun's figures appeared openly in the arena!
