Chi Ling's lips twitched; she was starting to lose her composure.
Gu Xinglan was speechless once again!
She took a deep breath and said angrily, "Have you made enough of a scene?"
If it weren't for her cousin causing trouble today, she would have already taken action; how could she have tolerated it to this extent?
"Cousin, don't you believe me? Do I have to kiss you before you'll believe me?"
Gu Yu spoke, he took a deep breath and turned to kiss Chi Ling.
"Ah!"
Chi Ling completely lost his composure. He let out a scream in fright, shoved the Gu Yu aside, and retreated ten meters away.
Gu Yu said, "Don't run away!"
Chi Ling wiped away her cold sweat and said, "Um, brother, I... I'd rather fight Gu Xinglan than kiss me! We're not a good match!"
Gu Yu said, "I'm saving you!"
Chi Ling quickly waved her hand, "I'm sorry, I'm a demon with principles!"
Gu Yu: "..."
"Have you made enough trouble? If so, then stop."
Gu Xinglan's voice was icy.
"No..."
Gu Yu said weakly.
Enraged, Gu Xinglan lost all composure. She clenched her fist and unleashed a powerful punch. In an instant, the wind and clouds rose, and thunder roared across the heavens and earth!
Lightning enveloped the sky, transforming into a sharp sword that hurtled towards Chi Ling!
Just then!
A silver-blue Sword Qi descended from the sky, breaking through the spatial barrier and shattering the Thunder Giant Sword in a single strike!
Bang!
A sword, a silver-purple sword, is stuck in the earth!
The overwhelming aura of imperial power and destruction swept over us, its unparalleled pressure sending chills down our spines.
Gu Xinglan's expression changed drastically!
A person emerged from the void, walked over, and wore a confident smile on his face.
When Gu Xinglan saw him, she couldn't help but grit her teeth. " Lu Yinjian!"
Lu Yinjian, "It is indeed I, Lu, the Ancient Realm Master. Long time no see, how have you been?"
Seeing the arrival of the Realm Lord, Leng Hanyu and Chi Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
A powerful backer has arrived!
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinglan ignored Lu Yinjian and focused only on Cherished Wine Cup Sword in front of him.
She was familiar with this sword; she had seen it in Xie Feng's hands not long ago—it was a Origin Level sword!
How did this sword end up in your hands?
Gu Xinglan frowned and questioned.
"This seems irrelevant to you. But you only need to know one thing: whoever wields the Origin Level Sword is invincible!" Lu Yinjian said with a smile.
"You, or rather, someone at the Imperial Evil Realm, shouldn't have attacked the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race."
Gu Xinglan shook her head.
"But our Devil Race race is growing in number, and we also need land and resources to survive!" Lu Yinjian shrugged helplessly.
"Is it survival, or the pursuit of ambition?" Gu Xinglan coldly, his words hitting the nail on the head!
"Perhaps... it's a combination of both. After all, no one wants to do without making their own clan prosper, right? The Origin Realm isn't the domain of just one race. If we Devil Race don't become powerful, we'll be constantly in danger of annihilation," Lu Yinjian said.
"In order to eliminate this crisis, you choose to strike first? What a high-sounding excuse!" Gu Xinglan scoffed.
"Alright, I admit it, I'm not exactly a good demon. So what about you? Are you a good person? The battle between the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race and the Imperial Evil Realm seems to have nothing to do with your Devil Subduing Realm."
Lu Yinjian his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and struck a pose as if he were about to launch into a long speech.
Gu Xinglan said, "It was Si Ming who asked me for help."
Lu Yinjian laughed, "If there wasn't something to gain, would you have gotten involved in this? Ah, don't tell me you're doing this to maintain order and because you yearn for peace. If that were the case, you wouldn't have gradually brought the power of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race under your own control."
"Everyone knows Si Ming has been your puppet for a long time! But, based on my understanding of you after dealing with you for so many years, you're very good at assessing situations. You would never wait to die in one place, so you'll make backup plans. 'A cunning rabbit has three burrows,' that's you..."
Gu Xinglan asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Lu Yinjian said, "I guess as the battle situation gradually becomes clearer, you realize you can't help the Nine Netherworld Phoenix Race turn the tide, so you're looking for a new puppet, like Cheng Hao, right?"
Gu Xinglan fell silent!
Lu Yinjian's smile widened even more, "I was right!"
Gu Xinglan remained silent. Suddenly, she took half a step forward, raised her palm, and summoned a sky full of lightning, preparing to launch an attack!
Lu Yinjian roared, " Gu Xinglan! If you dare cross this Lightning Pool today, I dare detonate the Origin Level sword! Do you know its explosive power? Let's perish together, burn to the ground!!!"
Gu Xinglan stopped moving!
Leng Hanyu and the others looked over with a death-defying resolve!
She hesitated!
Lu Yinjian strode over, grabbed the Little Sword, and poured his surging Origin Power into it, causing the heavens and earth to tremble violently!
The atmosphere was extremely tense!
Go forward, for life and death are uncertain!
At that moment, time seemed to stand still...
Gu Yu suddenly spoke up, "Cousin, today I'm firmly on their side!"
These words became the final blow. Gu Xinglan's lips twitched slightly. After a long silence and careful consideration, she angrily withdrew the power of thunder.
When dealing with demons, the most frightening thing is dealing with madmen.
But a demon is a madman!
She had no doubt about the truth of Lu Yinjian's words, and coupled with the fact that High Antiquity was also on the other side, she felt somewhat angry and disheartened.
There's plenty of time in the future, so why not take this one?
"You are testing my endurance... This is the last time!"
Gu Xinglan raised her hand, pointing at Lu Yinjian, Gu Yu, Leng Hanyu, and Chi Ling in turn. Her chest heaved with anger, and with a wave of her hand, brilliant lightning struck down. When the lightning disappeared, she vanished without a trace.
A crisis has been averted.
Leng Hanyu cupped his hands to Gu Yu and said, "Thank you for your timely rescue, young brother!"
Chi Ling also cupped his hands and said, "May I ask your honorable name, brother?"
Gu Yu waved his hand. "Heh! It was nothing! My name is Gu Yu, a disciple of the Xuanji Sect, and the prized student of Sect Master Xie Feng!"
In his last sentence, he shamelessly patted himself on the back, since no one else knew.
Leng Hanyu and Chi Ling thanked them again.
Lu Yinjian sheathed his Little Sword and sighed inwardly. Origin Level sword is not something just anyone can use. Even someone as powerful as him felt that one-fifth of his energy was instantly consumed when he used the Little Sword to unleash Sword Qi.
He felt even more admiration for Xie Feng.
Lu Yinjian said, "To resolve this crisis, we still need to rely on Brother Gu Yu and Old Xie's swords!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu quickly added, "The credit belongs entirely to the sect leader. He's the one who sent me to help you. If you want to thank someone, you should thank him!"
Lu Yinjian asked, "Strange, you're at the Thousand Autumns Realm, how did you get here so quickly?"
Gu Yu smiled and said, "Elder Sushang opened a spatial passage for me."
Chi Ling shook her head in amazement. "I had long heard of Brother Xie's connections, and seeing them today, I can confirm they are indeed well-deserved."
