Xu Yunyi in Danger
Xu Yunyi was all alone; there was no one else beside her.
When she left with Xu Xuanyu and the others, she said she was in a bad mood and wouldn't be going to Li Feiyu's place. She also mentioned that she had a close friend in the Immortal Ruins whom she hadn't seen in a long time and wanted to meet her there.
So she simply stepped through the void, pretending to be busy.
Xu Xuanyu then led the others directly to the Zhao Household's location.
Xu Yunyi acted this way because she was afraid of being discovered by a large crowd, and also because she was afraid that her younger brother and nephew would influence her judgment!
No matter what she discovers later, as long as she's certain her sister's future will be affected, she'll eliminate the threat no matter how ruthless she has to be!
Without someone standing by, no one could stop her!
Her own sister knelt down and begged her, but she remained unmoved!
Xu Qingying quickly led Lin Qingxue in one direction and finally arrived at that cave abode.
After entering the cave abode, she carefully set Lin Qingxue down, then knelt down and exclaimed, "Your Excellency! It's urgent!!"
The light gate on the platform shone brightly, and a golden vertical pupil appeared.
"What is it...?"
The man with vertical pupils had barely opened his mouth when he stopped speaking.
"Useless! You didn't even realize you were being followed!"
He cursed loudly, his eyes narrowed.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingying was shocked and hurriedly turned around to look behind her.
At that moment, a void passage appeared behind them.
Xu Yunyi emerged from the void passage!
"Who are you?!" Xu Yunyi stared intently at the golden vertical pupil within the portal of light before her.
Perhaps, this is the real culprit that turned her sister into this!
"A mere Tribulation Heaven Emperor Realm, under the influence of the Realm Wall, is only at the Peak Profound Heaven Emperor Realm. How dare you speak to me like this?" the vertical-pupiled man said in a deep voice.
When Xu Yunyi heard this, she sneered, "So how strong are you? Are you stronger than my brother-in-law? Should I call my brother-in-law over so you two can have a chat?"
At that moment, she sensed a dangerous aura within the portal of light!
Therefore, while saying this, she concealed a Sound Transmission Jade Slip in one hand and quickly activated various defensive formations and the powerful armor within her body with the other.
If he were truly in danger, he would have no choice but to immediately send a telepathic message to Lu Qing'an.
Of course, if she can handle it, then these family matters shouldn't involve Lu Qing'an.
Upon hearing this, the vertical-pupiled man fell silent.
It seems they were fooled!
"Yunyi! You! You followed me!" Xu Qingying's expression turned even worse.
"What is it?!" Xu Yunyi stared directly at her sister and asked in a deep voice.
"This is none of your business! Leave immediately!!" Xu Qingying shouted.
If this Venerable One changes his mind because of this matter and stops helping her improve, she will forever lose the opportunity to become stronger!!
"Xu Qingying, I'm giving you three breaths to make her leave, or you'll face the consequences!" the vertical-pupiled man said in a deep voice.
It's like a general giving orders to the lowest-ranking soldier.
Xu Qingying felt as if she were suffocating, her heart clenching. She gritted her teeth and roared, "Get out!! My affairs are none of your business!!"
Seeing her sister's frantic state, Xu Yunyi clenched her fists and, with a heavy heart, ignored her sister completely.
She stared intently at the golden vertical pupils and said in a deep voice, "Today I must find out what you are! This portal should be an array, connecting to somewhere? And what are you on the other side?!"
The vertical pupils didn't reply to Xu Yunyi, but coldly counted down. "A breath has already passed!"
Xu Yunyi had lost her patience and coldly snorted, "Then I'll test your strength!"
She stretched out her hand, and Demonic Qi hand hurtled towards the portal of light.
To prevent her sister from causing trouble, she glanced at her sister, her powerful aura freezing her in place.
"You're asking for it!"
As soon as the vertical pupil's voice faded, two golden beams flashed and disappeared from the portal.
A beam shot into the sky, magically enveloping the surrounding area of Fang Yuan miles in a layer of golden light.
The other beam shot towards Xu Yunyi at an incredibly terrifying speed!
Boom!
Xu Yunyi's body suddenly flew backward, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared five thousand miles away in the sky!
At this moment, the defensive formations on her body had already shattered!
Even the powerful armor he was wearing had a crack!
"The power of the Early Heaven Tribulation Emperor Realm cultivator! What on earth is this?!"
At this moment, the cave abode had collapsed, leaving only the light gate and Xu Qingying standing in the open space.
Above the portal, a humanoid figure of fire appeared!
This humanoid flame was engulfed in blazing golden flames, its outline resembling a woman's figure. Golden fire flowed like long hair, and every wisp of flame exuded a sharp, metallic aura.
The core of the flame shimmered with a liquid gold-like luster, and the space where it stood was scorched with fine cracks.
Its eyes were like two blazing suns, and the rocks beneath its feet instantly crystallized.
The oppressive force of the flames caused the clouds to evaporate and dissipate, like a Heavenly Dao fire blade unsheathed.
Wrong!
The aura is that of the Middle Tribulation Heaven Emperor Realm!
After Xu Yunyi investigated the situation thoroughly, she made a decision.
This is a metal-attribute Divergent Flame among the Five Elements Divergent Flame!
The Flame of the Golden Palace!!
To possess such power, one must have fused with a very large piece of Divine Crystal!
And this Flame of the Golden Palace was actually controlled by those golden vertical pupils!!
If she hadn't equipped herself with a defensive formation beforehand, and if her younger brother hadn't known she was going to fight Lin Qingxue after killing Huangfu Qi and hadn't put on the armor forged from the Red Fire Divine Metal in advance, she probably would have been killed in one blow!
Now, facing this Flame of the Golden Palace, she knew very well that she could not withstand many more attacks.
"Brother-in-law!" Left with no other option, she could only send a telepathic message to Lu Qing'an.
However, the next moment her eyes widened, she quickly looked around, and her gaze quickly focused on the golden light that covered thousands of miles!
This thing can block sound transmission?!
Oh no!!!
Xu Qingying was startled when she saw the Flame of the Golden Palace.
The strength of the Middle Tribulation Heaven Emperor Realm?!
"Your Excellency! Don't hurt my sister! I'll make sure she leaves!!" Xu Qingying said hurriedly.
"Your Majesty! Kill her!!!" Lin Qingxue roared ferociously.
The man with the golden vertical pupils said in a deep voice, "She cannot be allowed to live!"
If she lets Xu Yunyi go now that these methods have been exposed, things will not go well.
As soon as she finished speaking, the Flame of the Golden Palace vanished from its spot and reappeared in front of Xu Yunyi in the blink of an eye.
Boom!!!
A terrifying power swept across the land!
Xu Yunyi, whose skill level was so far inferior, was completely powerless to fight back.
Even if Xue Tianfei and the others were here, something bad would probably happen to them.
However, when the Flame of the Golden Palace attacked, she activated a new defensive formation again. The Heavenly Regret Emperor Position was brought to its fullest potential, unleashing a powerful attack. She also used her Divine Ability and the Red Fire Divine Metal for defense, barely managing to withstand the attack once more.
Only!
Even though the armor forged from Red Fire Divine Metal blocked the attack, the terrifying power of the flames still invaded her body.
This caused her internal injuries, and she couldn't help but bleed from her mouth!
Another blow, and she'll likely be severely injured, if not killed!
"Continue!" the golden vertical pupils spoke again.
"No!!!" Xu Qingying flew quickly in that direction, trying to stop the Flame of the Golden Palace.
The Flame of the Golden Palace, however, acted like an emotionless robot, attacking Xu Yunyi once more.
Xu Yunyi gritted her teeth and defended with all her might.
However, she no longer had enough confidence to withstand this attack!
"Am I going to die here...?"
Just as the Flame of the Golden Palace magnified infinitely in her pupils, and the even stronger attack was about to arrive, suddenly, the sky fell silent.
Time slowed down, as if someone had pressed the slow-motion button!
