You Are More Important Than the Stone Clan!

Under a clear sky, without a single cloud, only a gentle breeze was blowing.

Ling Miao looked up at the sky, as if she were looking at her deceased clansmen.

On her ethereal face was a look of relief, as if she had released her inner turmoil.

It's clear that she's in a very good mood after brutally killing the Hun Xie.

"Boom"

Just as Xiao Lin was about to say something, suddenly the energy in the surrounding world surged and rushed directly towards Ling Miao!

Upon seeing this, Xiao Lin instantly realized something, his gaze sharpened, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Indeed, letting Ling Miao release her suppressed emotions has its benefits!"

Xiao Lin muttered to himself softly.

At this moment, Ling Miao, who had triggered the turbulent energy of the surrounding world, naturally realized something.

Without any hesitation, she sat cross-legged in the Void and began to circulate the Cultivation Method she was practicing, the "Spirit Emperor Codex"!

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth roared, and the endless energy of heaven and earth was absorbed into Ling Miao's body.

That's right, after brutally killing the Hun Xie and releasing the long-suppressed emotions within her, Ling Miao actually broke through to the next level!

In fact, Ling Miao should have broken through long ago.

Don't forget, when Ling Miao escaped from the Ling Clan, she was already at the Mid-to-Late-Stage One-Star Dou Saint.

Afterwards, she cultivated in the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace for so many years, during which time she also consumed Ninth-Grade Treasure Pills. In addition, with Xiao Lin as a pioneer who provided guidance from time to time, how could her cultivation have been stuck at the Late-Stage Two-Star Dou Sheng for so many years?

The reason for this is her own inner conflict!

Having unresolved issues and feeling suppressed makes it impossible to break through them.

The recent massacre of the Hun Xie became the opportunity for Ling Miao to break through to the Three-Star Dou Sheng level!

As a friend and ally, Xiao Lin was naturally happy for Ling Miao.

As for Ling Miao now, she naturally trusts Xiao Lin completely.

Therefore, after sensing the opportunity for a breakthrough, she did not hesitate at all and immediately began the breakthrough process.

Because her own Palace Master was right beside her, she didn't feel that her breakthrough would be in any danger.

It's clear that Ling Miao has completely trusted Xiao Lin.

In fact, this is very difficult for someone whose entire family has been wiped out.

But who could blame him when Xiao Lin had saved the other person's life at a critical moment?

It can be said that, in the entire Dou Qi Continent, apart from Xiao Lin, even her four clansmen cannot be trusted unconditionally by Ling Miao!

Yes, that's Xiao Lin's position in Ling Miao's heart.

This status is comparable to that of her former clan leader!

Ling Miao broke through to the next level, and Xiao Lin had to protect her. No matter how anxious the three members of the Stone Clan were, they had no say at this moment.

Therefore, all they could do was wait with Xiao Lin.

However, since it is a breakthrough to the Dou Sheng Realm, the amount of energy from heaven and earth required is quite large.

Seeing that the spiritual energy within a radius of several kilometers had been Ling Miao devoured by Xiao Lin, and that she still showed no sign of breaking through her cultivation level, Xiao Lin casually tossed out a large pile of Medicinal Pills from his Storage Ring.

"Buzz~"

Xiao Lin Void his right hand in the air, and all the Medicinal Pills he had thrown out of his Storage Ring, ranging from sixth to Eighth-Tier, transformed into the purest energy, enveloping Ling Miao's body.

Ling Miao, who was in the process of breaking through, felt the energy of heaven and earth suddenly became dozens of times stronger all around, and immediately realized that it was his palace master who was helping him break through.

Therefore, without any hesitation, she directly activated the "Spirit Emperor Codex" at full power, absorbing all the rich and pure energy surrounding her into her body.

Time flows by slowly.

Several hours later, Ling Miao, who had been sitting cross-legged in the Void, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Boom"

At the same time, a terrifying pressure emanated from Ling Miao's body.

Sensing the aura emanating from Ling Miao, the three members of the Stone Clan instantly held their breath.

Just now, they felt their hearts skip a beat.

Fortunately, Ling Miao quickly withdrew her aura; otherwise, the three members of the Stone Clan would have made a fool of themselves.

Congratulations!

At this moment, seeing that Ling Miao had consolidated her cultivation, Xiao Lin smiled and spoke.

"Palace Master, thank you for letting me be willful this time!"

Ling Miao bowed slightly to Xiao Lin with unusual solemnity.

What she was referring to was, of course, the fact that she could have killed the Hun Xie quickly, but instead deliberately tormented it for a period of time.

In fact, according to their original plan, they should have quickly killed Hun Xie and then headed to the Stone Clan.

However, Ling Miao, upon seeing Hun Xie, Dou Sheng of the Hun Clan, could no longer contain her long-suppressed anger.

Therefore, she spent a considerable amount of time torturing the Hun Xie before finally killing it.

In addition, there are further breakthroughs to come.

A lot of time wasted in the process!

Ling Miao wondered if wasting her time like this would ruin her Palace Master's plans.

Therefore, after the breakthrough, Ling Miao calmed down, her face showing both gratitude and guilt.

Now that she's a member of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, this is indeed a bit too willful...

For the first time, Ling Miao revealed a somewhat girlish side of herself in front of others.

But would Xiao Lin care about this?

The answer is naturally no!

"Why bother saying these things between us? Besides, I am the Palace Master of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, and you are a member of the sect. Even if the sky were to fall, nothing would be more important than your affairs!"

Xiao Lin said this as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

His words didn't mean anything by anything else.

After all, in Xiao Lin's view, he only wanted to use the Stone Clan to take the opportunity to expose the Hun Clan's conspiracy.

So even if he arrived at the Stone Clan late, causing Stone Clan some losses, what did that have to do with him?

Are we going to make him take the blame?

It can be said that Xiao Lin is a very protective person!

In his heart, the Stone Clan was less important than the Ling Miao!

This can actually be seen from the earlier trip to the Gu Realm.

Back then, even if it wasn't Xiao Yan, but any student from the Jia Nan Academy who was being harassed, Xiao Lin would have stepped in!

Xiao Lin has always been very clear about the distinctions between close and distant relationships!

Hearing Xiao Lin's protective words, Ling Miao was deeply moved, and her face flushed slightly.

Although she knew that her Palace Master had no other intentions.

Anyone who hears such words would feel comfortable, wouldn't they?

Ling Miao was no exception!

"How are you feeling now? Any better?"

Xiao Lin then asked another question.

"Yes, I'm fine now, and I'm in a much better mood! So, Palace Master, what's next..."

Ling Miao nodded, then composed herself, gave the three members of the Stone Clan a meaningful look, and spoke.

Now, let's get down to business!
