She Blew Herself Up

"The Demise of the Qionghua Sect"

The Saint's Remnant Soul murmured something, then gently shook his head.

Now is not the time to talk about that. Although the destruction of the Qionghua Sect is intriguing, resolving the crisis brought about by Tianyan and that madwoman is the most important thing right now.

After a pause, the Saint's Remnant Soul spoke softly:

"Judging by the time, Ran should be close to succeeding."

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

I hope everything goes well.

As he spoke, Xu Yuan slowly raised his eyes and looked up at the dome of the enormous palace.

The array formations in the main hall for transmitting skills remain intact, with the Chaos Lineage Array and other defensive arrays still operating smoothly.

With the help of the Saintess Soul Key and the enhancement of the Saint's Remnant Soul soul's power, Xu Yuan was able to unilaterally sense the heart-pounding energy clash in the sky.

After the sneak attack from the Saint's Remnant Soul, the pink mist pressing down in mid-air has noticeably thinned out.

Unfortunately, Xu Yuan didn't have time to examine it closely.

"Boom!!!!!"

A deafening roar, like thunder, suddenly exploded above their heads.

The massive Transmission Hall shook violently, and the array patterns inside the palace flickered on and off. The intact palace structure cracked instantly, and cracks spread across the inner walls like a spider web.

Xu Yuan steadied himself amidst the trembling, his pupils slightly contracting.

It's that crazy woman.

She can see him!

"This woman should be able to sense the mark between your eyebrows!" the Saint's Remnant Soul suddenly uttered in a low voice.

Xu Yuan's heart sank.

That's just how reality is; you never know whether an accident or tomorrow will come first.

Their original plan was to hide below, using the Chaos Lineage Array within the palace to conceal themselves and wait for an opportunity to strike, but now it seems the plan needs to be changed.

Without any prompting, Xu Yuan's figure had already transformed into a blur as he rushed towards the array platform at the back of the hall.

The defensive formations engraved on the palace were not breached immediately, but judging from the current situation, they were not far from being broken through. Staying here would be suicide.

Without a sneak attack, he and the Saint's Remnant Soul combined might not be enough to defeat Tianyan with one hand, let alone the madwoman who had already entered a hostile state.

As they sped along, a constant roar echoed overhead, and fragments of gravel and sand rained down from the dome of the main hall.

In a battle of this caliber between Tianyan and the Red-Clothed Madwoman, the old antique simply couldn't sustain it for long. In the blink of an eye, the defensive array of the Transmission Hall nearly collapsed.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan had already escaped to the vicinity of the array platform and could reach it in just a few breaths.

The madwoman continued her attacks downwards, and Tianyan seemed to realize that Xu Yuan hadn't left immediately; his voice came from above:

"Xu Changtian, didn't you say you had a way to break this madwoman's dojo?!"

It wasn't a sound transmission, but a righteous and open shout, a shout that spread out with the Source Qi.

Under the onslaught of the enraged, madwoman, Tianyan seemed to have no time left for precise telepathic communication.

Of course, it's also possible that the Chaos Lineage Array within the Transmission Hall interfered with the discovery of Xu Yuan's exact location.

Xu Yuan ignored her.

Just kidding.

That sneak attack just now completely drew that crazy woman's hatred onto him. If he hadn't used the Void-Stepping Slash to escape quickly, he would probably be dead by now.

Now that the formation is about to break, speaking out in response would be tantamount to telling that crazy woman to fire at me.

Tianyan was actually trying to trick him.

Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.

No one knows how to betray their teammates better than him.

And just as Tianyan finished speaking...

A piercing, shrill scream suddenly rang out in mid-air:

"Ah!!!!!!"

That voice belongs to that madwoman.

Xu Yuan frowned slightly, thinking to himself:

"Old Man Luo"

Before he could finish asking, the Saint's Remnant Soul replied with a smile:

"It's most likely that Ran girl killed that madwoman's true form. Let's hurry up and leave the rest to Tianyan. He can come back and reap the rewards later!"

"Mm." Xu Yuan nodded.

In just two breaths Xu Yuan arrived at the array platform built inside the Transmission Hall.

At this critical moment of life and death, without Xu Yuan's prompting, the Saint's Remnant Soul immediately activated the formation.

The teleportation array is rapidly recharging.

"Wait, cough cough cough."

Tianyan's somewhat exasperated voice came from the sky again:

"Why can this woman awaken the Charm God Flower within me? Wow!"

Before she could finish speaking, all that remained was the sound of the girl coughing up blood.

"."

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Yuan's pupils constricted sharply.

But then he realized that this might be another of Tianyan's tricks.

After all, a first-grade demon soul without a physical body could hardly be a match for Tianyan.

The thought flashed through my mind.

A deafening roar erupted from the palace dome.

Looking up,

The scene before him made Xu Yuan suddenly realize that Tianyan didn't seem to be lying to him this time.

Cherry Leech Lake.

Ran Qingmo silently retreated, carrying her Black Sword. The previous strike had already depleted her Source Qi.

The hundred-meter-long tree trunk was now completely covered by ice crystals, and there was even a sword mark in the middle of the trunk that almost cut it in half.

The level of damage from these cuts would have been enough to kill any plant, but instead, the Charm God Cherry Tree began to grow.

Inside the ice crystals, many tender buds and branches have sprouted from the tree trunk. The continuously growing branches gradually push the surface ice crystals, creating cracks, and then they break apart.

However, due to the residual chill from the sword technique's power, these shattered ice crystals quickly covered the newly grown branches again.

This process repeated itself, as if the growth of the Charm God Cherry Tree had been accelerated.

In a short while,

The cherry blossoms are blooming again, just as they were before.

However, at this moment, the surface of the Charm God Cherry Tree was still frozen with a thin layer of fine ice.

Ran Qingmo's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The state of the Charm God Cherry Tree before us is somewhat strange.

It simply blossomed.

The sword marks she had made on the tree trunk, along with the huge holes pierced by the eight ice spikes, showed no signs of healing and continued to exude a chilling aura.

The situation before her was somewhat beyond Ran Qingmo's comprehension.

While pondering,

"Buzz--"

Under the sunlight,

Suddenly, the giant tree bursting with beautiful cherry blossoms emitted a tremendous buzzing sound, and the pale blue ice crystals covering the cherry blossoms instantly turned into countless sparkling dust!

At the same time, accompanied by a buzzing sound, a pink halo emanated from the Charm God Cherry Tree and shot out into the distance!

This unexpected turn of events caused Ran Qingmo to instinctively raise her Black Sword to parry, but the pink aura that spread out seemed to have no power whatsoever, only causing a slight breeze to flutter the hem of her black dress.

"What's this?"

Ran Qingmo frowned and turned around.

The Charm God Cherry Tree, after emitting a halo of light, seemed to have exhausted its last bit of life force, and its massive trunk began to tilt and collapse along the point of impact.

Transmission Hall

"Boom--"

The shockwaves from the damaged defensive array inside the hall temporarily halted the charging of the teleportation array.

A large hole was immediately opened in the palace's dome, allowing sunlight to stream in instantly.

Xu Yuan was on high alert, immediately looked up.

Then,

He saw a palace-dressed girl falling from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

"Boom!"

Tianyan's petite figure crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of smoke!

Then the Red-Clothed Madwoman appeared inside the palace in an instant, and the aura that had surrounded her disappeared.

The madwoman did not continue to attack Tianyan, but instead glanced at Xu Yuan.

For some reason,

Her empty, lifeless eyes were gradually becoming clear.

They looked at each other for two seconds.

"Thanks."

She said that.

She paused, then whispered:

"Feel sorry."

After saying that,

Yuchu smiled slightly, a smile of relief.

With a pink halo spreading out, her soul body "banged" and transformed into countless fluttering, dazzling cherry blossoms that scattered and swirled in the sunlight.

"."

Xu Yuan stared in astonishment at the scene before him.

What's going on?

Did he self-destruct?

While Xu Yuan was in a daze,

A roar from the Saint's Remnant Soul echoed in Xu Yuan's mind:

"The Qionghua Sect was destroyed by this Charm God Cherry Tree! Run! Don't get caught in its petals!"

Old Man Luo hadn't finished speaking when

Amidst the falling petals,

The scene before Xu Yuan's eyes had become unfamiliar.

The temperature suddenly dropped and I have a slight fever, so this is a single update. I'll try to make up for it tomorrow.
