Granny An gently stroked Qin Zixuan's head, "Grandma, as the ancestor of the Guanghan Palace, cannot run away. I will fight to the very last moment."
Qin Zixuan cried bitterly, "No, I don't want to..."
She kept saying no, her voice trembling, filled with pain and sorrow.
"Well."
Granny An sighed softly, her expression complicated. Just as she was about to speak, the entire palace suddenly shook violently, as if it were a major earthquake.
"Oh no, how did they get here so fast?" Granny An's expression changed drastically, and then she and Qin Zixuan disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, dozens of figures stood in the sky above the Guanghan Palace. These were all elders of the Guanghan Palace, and the woman in the lead was An Chuxin, the Palace Master of the Guanghan Palace.
They all stared solemnly at the sky. Granny An and Qin Zixuan appeared beside them, and the elders quickly bowed, "Ancestor, Holy Maiden!"
An Chuxin looked at her Granny An, "Mother."
She then looked at Qin Zixuan, " Zixuan."
Qin Zixuan nodded, then looked up at the sky. She heard a series of cracking sounds as space shattered and countless powerful figures emerged from it. The wind and clouds changed drastically, and a gale arose.
"They're from the Star-Shattering Sect!"
The disciples of the Guanghan Palace were startled, and a trace of apprehension and fear appeared on their faces.
"Hahaha."
Laughter echoed through the air, and dozens of people appeared in the arena. Standing at the very front were three people: a middle-aged man, a young man, and an old man.
The middle-aged man was burly, with thick eyebrows and deep, dark eyes that resembled a still pool, occasionally flashing with a cold glint.
Zhou Shuo, Sect Master of the Star-Shattering Sect!
He smiled as he looked down at An Chuxin, "Palace Master An, have you considered this carefully? Do you wish to become an affiliated force of my Star Shattering Sect?"
"Dream on!" An Chuxin said coldly, her terrifying aura spreading outwards.
"Father, why waste your breath talking to them? Just wipe them out. Oh, and leave that little wench with me," the young man beside Zhou Shuo said.
The young man's face was cold and stern, his eyes filled with arrogance. He looked at Qin Zixuan, a smirk playing on his lips, his heart pounding with restlessness.
He is Zhou Peng, a disciple of the sect leader of the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect!
"You're courting death!" Qin Zixuan said expressionlessly, her killing intent surging, ready to make a move, but was stopped by Granny An.
Zhou Peng sneered, "You must be the Holy Maiden of the Guanghan Palace, right? You're quite beautiful. Behave yourself as my maid, and I might spare your life."
Qin Zixuan's face turned slightly ugly. Her hands clenched tightly, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent. She wished she could take action immediately and kill Zhou Peng.
"Snort!"
Zhou Peng sneered, "You're asking for it! Since that's how it is, I'll let you witness firsthand how the Guanghan Palace is destroyed! Attack! Leave the women here, but kill everyone else!"
"Kill!"
Terrifying forces erupted, and the experts of the Star-Shattering Sect instantly charged towards the Guanghan Palace. The world changed drastically, countless lights shone, and their momentum soared to the sky, unstoppable!
"Charge!"
An Chuxi angrily, his hands Hand Seals and striking the ground. Dozens of the Guanghan Palace elders did the same. In an instant, a purple light shot into the sky, dazzling and shaking the heavens and earth. Then, the purple light began to spread, enveloping the entire Guanghan Palace, isolating the Star-Shattering Sect experts outside.
They all unleashed their strongest attacks, attempting to shatter the formation. However, the formation only trembled slightly and showed no signs of breaking.
The expressions of the group of the Star-Shattering Sect experts immediately turned ugly.
"Hmph, a mere formation, you dare to try and stop me?" Zhou Shuo sneered, raising his right hand, clenching his fist, and then throwing a punch.
The moment the fist was thrown, it swelled to a hundred feet in size, carrying terrifying power, and struck the formation hard. A cracking sound rang out, and several cracks appeared on the surface of the formation.
"Interesting, but how many punches can it withstand?" Zhou Shuo's expression was surprised, but it vanished in an instant. Then, he threw several more punches, which made a rumbling sound. The cracks in the formation increased, and it probably wouldn't last long.
An Chuxin's lips were bleeding and her face was pale, but she persisted in maintaining the formation. The elders did the same. They knew all too well what the Guanghan Palace would face if the formation were to break.
"What do we do? Are we all going to die here today?"
The atmosphere in the Guanghan Palace was incredibly somber, with every disciple displaying fear and dread on their faces.
Granny An looked at Qin Zixuan, "Take this opportunity and escape!"
"Escape? Do you think she can escape?" Zhou Shuo roared, concentrating his power into his right fist and slamming it hard into the formation.
Bang!
The formation finally gave way and shattered completely. The purple light dissipated, and An Chuxi and the elders coughed up blood, their faces turning pale instantly.
"Kill!" Zhou Shuo coldly ordered, and the experts of the Star-Shattering Sect immediately charged downwards, unleashing terrifying attacks that trembled space and time, shattered the heavens and earth, and were utterly horrifying.
" The Guanghan Palace nurtured us, and now that we are in calamity, it is time for us to step up! All Guanghan Palace disciples, follow me and kill!" Qin Zixuan took a step forward, holding a long sword, her whole body flashing with light, and thousands of Sword Intent surged out. Then she went straight for the Star-Shattering Sect expert.
Her words instantly ignited a fierce fighting spirit in all the disciples of the Guanghan Palace. They shouted, their eyes bloodshot, drew their weapons, and charged towards the sky.
In an instant, the sounds of fighting continued, blades clashed, and Divine Ability were displayed. Every disciple of the Guanghan Palace was fighting desperately to kill the enemy.
"Buzz!"
A sword light flashed across the arena as Qin Zixuan arrived, directly beheading a Star Shattering Sect expert. She was enveloped in divine light, her Sword Intent surging.
At this moment, a disciple of the Star-Shattering Sect attacked. Qin Zixuan dodged the attack and appeared behind the man. She thrust out her sword, piercing his heart, and the man fell.
Without any hesitation, Qin Zixuan charged towards another Star-Shattering Sect expert. At this moment, she was like a female sword immortal, killing one with each strike, terrifying beyond belief.
Looking at Qin Zixuan, Granny An sighed softly, "Girl, it's my fault for letting you down."
Her eyes flashed with ferocity, and the terrifying aura of Immortal Venerable Realm Seventh Stage spread out, surging and shattering space and time. She took a step forward and charged into the void.
An Chuxin and the elders followed closely behind, each with a resolute expression on their face, as if they were prepared to fight to the death.
Zhou Shuo's expression changed slightly as he watched Granny An charging towards him. He then looked at the old man and said, "I beg you, Ancestor, to make a move."
The old man's face was covered with wrinkles, and his white hair was almost gone. He nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Granny An, his killing intent filling the air. He charged forward and instantly engaged Granny An in fierce combat. The two were evenly matched, and it was difficult to determine a winner for a time.
Zhou Shuo didn't hesitate either. He led dozens of elders from the Star-Shattering Sect and attacked An Chuxin and the others.
Zhou Peng watched quietly, his gaze fixed on Qin Zixuan. A smirk played on his lips as he licked them, his eyes filled with lewdness. "Woman, you're mine!"
