"Sister Lingyue, don't worry. I'm just a little sad."
Just as Lingyue tried to use her own power to stop Xu Taiping, she suddenly heard his voice.
"Let this strike be my final farewell to Grandpa."
Though Xu Taiping's voice was still weak, it had regained its former resolve.
Fairy Lingyue froze for a moment, then said gently:
"Follow your heart."
Although she could sense the Lotus Eye trying to guide Xu Taiping, magnifying his anger and granting him the power to vent it, she ultimately chose to trust him, responding with only those gentle words.

After murmuring those words in her heart, she stopped using her mind to control Xu Taiping's body.
Boom!
With Xu Taiping no longer restrained, his reddened Lotus Eye devoured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth even faster, as though it meant to suck every last drop of spiritual power from Cloud Cottage Mountain.
"Keep raging helplessly, Xu Taiping!"
Seeing Xu Taiping lose control of his emotions only made Jin Hezhi more excited.
"Let's go. The Qingxuan Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is about to activate. In consideration of your Nine Nether Bone-Shattering Curse, I can have the Cloud-Swallowing Python take you along."
Wumei, whose Primordial Spirit possessed the Flying Sword beside him, reminded him.
"Many thanks, Old Ancestor Wumei."
Hearing this, Jin Hezhi also attached his Divine Soul to the Flying Sword.
Clang!
But just then, a blade cry rang throughout heaven and earth, followed by a fierce surge of blade qi shooting into the sky from Dragon Gate Hall.
Boom!
The Cloud Sea Demon Capital created by the Cloud-Swallowing Python was pierced straight through by this blade qi, leaving a huge hole.
"Old Ancestor, this brat looks like he's going mad. Can the Cloud-Swallowing Python hold him off?"
Jin Hezhi,
