Wind and water turn in mutual aid, Zhu Nantian Yin Fire is born (I)

"R-reporting... to the grand elder..."

"It wasn't the Xie Clan, but the Ye Clan... they're flying the banner of the Cloud Mist Ye Clan."

The clansman who had come to report caught his breath for a moment before breaking in with the words in a single rush.

Qing Lingyue trembled all over when she heard this. Seemingly gripped by fear from the depths of her heart, she turned to Grand Elder Luan Mi and shook her head.

"What! The Ye Clan..." Luan Mi's brows knitted tightly at the news. With no time to think about Qing Lingxi, she immediately rose and paced back and forth.

The Xie Clan came only because of Xie Qingying, but the Cloud Mist Ye Clan must have come for my entire Azure Luan Clan, and our clan's inherited supreme treasure, the Heavenly Gang Bifeng Pool...

How could we Azure Luans become slaves!

How could our clan's legacy be allowed to end!

At that thought, Luan Mi immediately issued a decisive order.

"Pass down my orders. Activate the Azure Nether Barrier at any cost and seal every entrance to the secret realm. All guards are to defend this place to the death. No one is to leave."

"I will send word to Third immediately and tell her to flee on her own. If she truly cannot escape, then for the future of the Azure Luan Clan, she must sacrifice herself for righteousness..."

As Luan Mi spoke, she sent out a talisman of light.

The clansman below was just about to pass on the orders.

Suddenly, the formation in the secret realm's dome was forcibly shattered by an outside force, and ripples spread through space.

Luan Mi hurriedly flew up to the raised platform and shielded Qing Lingyue behind her, then shouted angrily.

"Protect Her Highness!"

But those below the platform were in a panic, turning a deaf ear to the grand elder's words.

"What happened!"

"This is a grand formation reinforced by our clan's Purple Mansion. How could it be broken!"

"How could these Cangxuan cultivators know where our clan's formation was weak? There's a traitor!"

Rumble!

Rumble!

A power profound beyond reckoning tore space apart.

Purple Mansion?

All delusion.

A wisp of clear autumn, and heaven and earth stretched desolate for ten thousand miles; Qiu Yan ran deep and profound, clear and free of dust.

A tremendous sound and the fierce, killing chill of clear autumn filled the entire cavern. It then began to shake violently, and space trembled.

As the earth-shaking sound passed, a woman's fawning voice seemed faintly to draw closer.

"Young Master Ye, this way, please. Our clan has a secret passage in this secret realm.

"It was made specifically to preserve our bloodline and provide an escape in a moment of life and death."

"If we enter from here, we'll leave Luan Mi nowhere to run."

"Her Highness Lingxi is truly our clan's foremost heaven's chosen. That girl Lingyue has been spoiled rotten. Is she fit to be the Azure Luan Clan's Wang?"

"That Her Highness Lingxi has earned Young Master Ye's favor is a blessing for our clan, a blessing for the Azure Luan Clan. I apologize to Your Highness on behalf of the Azure Luan Clan's elders. From now on, we will certainly support Her Highness Lingxi with all our strength."

Ye Jinyu's figure appeared at the broken space in the secret realm's dome, with Qing Lingxi supporting him at his side.

The third elder had even assumed her demonic form, a giant divine Azure Luan bird.

She let Qing Lingxi and Ye Jinyu stand on her, a hint of pride and smugness in her bird's eyes.

The third elder looked at Luan Mi and, remembering the message she had just received, immediately launched into an angry rebuke.

"Luan Mi, you bitch! How dare you depose and install a ruler on your own authority, betray your own kin, and plot against Her Highness Qing Lingxi, our clan's heaven's chosen! What punishment do you deserve!"

"Surrender at once!"

Ye Jinyu stood atop the Azure Luan.

The strand of profound Qiu Yan left by a True Lord on the Autumn Evolution Dao Profound Robe had dimmed.

The thousand supreme-grade Spirit Stones set into it had also lost their luster and crumbled to dust.

Blood lingered at the corner of his mouth, and his breath was weak. Hardly an inch of flesh on his entire body remained unscathed, and every part was shrouded in the essence of autumn.

But the Yin-Yang Spirit Wood Heart at his heart was circulating frantically. Vast life Spiritual Qi pulsed, constantly nourishing his body. Before long, he would be healed.

He thought to himself.

Sure enough, with my current cultivation, activating the True Lord's manifestation on this Autumn Evolution Dao Profound Robe is still too much of a strain.

If I reached Foundation Establishment...

Just then.

Grand Elder Luan Mi below was furious as well and burst into a tirade.

"Third!! What are you doing! You've actually joined the evil devils of Cangxuan and even become a mount! You've brought shame on our clan. You deserve to die, deserve to die!"

"And you, Qing Lingxi, you bitch."

"Ye Clan brat... how dare you!"

Behind Luan Mi, Qing Lingyue saw that her older sister Qing Lingxi was still alive. She clutched the hem of the grand elder's skirt, jealousy and anger flashing in her eyes.

She said in a low voice:

"Grand Elder, you must kill her, kill her!"

Ye Jinyu found the scene secretly amusing.

His face, however, remained as calm and composed as ever as he lightly waved the Azure Nether Jade Glass Fan in his hand.

"Grand Elder Luan Mi, I've always convinced people with reason. I've also learned of the sordid affairs in your clan. How about we make a deal?"

"That little Azure Luan hiding behind you puts on a fierce front but is a coward at heart, jealous and witless. A creature like that? She can be the future Wang of the Azure Luan Clan?"

"Grand Elder, why not look at the one beside me? I hold her in particularly high regard. Make her Wang, and my Ye Clan will be your clan's backing from now on. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"You only need to hand over that little Azure Luan behind you to me, and that's all..."

"I imagine Grand Elder Luan Mi doesn't want the Azure Luan Clan to be wiped out here today, does she!?"

Hearing this, Luan Mi pretended to give it some thought.

The Dao foundation of [Bifeng Nether Abyss] within her was circulating frantically.

Watch as I feign negotiations to lure the enemy, then kill him in a single strike.

Qing Lingyue, meanwhile, was enraged. From childhood, she had been held in their hands for fear she might melt, cherished in their hearts, surrounded everywhere by praise and affection.

The darling of the Azure Luan Clan, its little princess.

Who did not treat her with the utmost respect? What clan's heaven's chosen in the Wind Abyss Ruin Realm did not have to bow before her?

They constantly indulged her, yet today these foreign evil devils from Cangxuan had actually insulted her and even compared her to her own older sister.

What right does Qing Lingxi have!! She's nothing but trash, trash with an impure bloodline who nearly killed Mother.

Otherwise, why would Mother have extracted the essence of her bloodline when we were little and placed it in my body!

Anger flashed in her eyes, though deep within them there was still a trace of panic. Forcing herself to remain calm, she said, "Evil devils of Cangxuan! You sow discord within my Azure Luan Clan! What are your intentions!"

Then Qing Lingyue seemed to notice something, her eyes sweeping over Qing Lingxi's figure pressed close to Ye Jinyu.

She looked at Ye Jinyu's appearance as well.

"Oh... could it be that my trash of a sister willingly became your slave and servant, and you, evil devil, acted this way because you lusted after her beauty?"

"Sure enough, all men under heaven are like this!"

As she spoke, Qing Lingyue seemed to reach a decision. A hint of bashfulness flashed across her face as she said coyly:

"If... you... if you kill her... whatever she can do, I can do too."

"The Azure Luan Clan can also acknowledge the Ye Clan as its master!"

"I can even do better than... this trash. I look seventy percent like her, I..."

Hearing their princess's words, the Azure Luan clanspeople present felt a chill in their hearts.

Ye Jinyu was somewhat speechless as he listened. He looked at Qing Lingxi beside him; she was trembling all over, suppressing her anger.

He still intended to tease this fool a little more.

When Luan Mi heard Qing Lingyue's outrageous comparison and outrageous words-

"Shut up!"

"You utter fool!"

Luan Mi immediately cursed.

[Bifeng Nether Abyss].

Then she raised her hand and unleashed a stream of deep, dark Law Power that she had been charging for some time, wishing she could kill Qing Lingyue, that fool, with one claw.

But she forcibly held herself back, and the claw, condensed with Bifeng, struck at Ye Jinyu!

Wherever the wind claw passed, even space faintly twisted!

"Attack with me! He certainly can't activate that magic robe a second time so soon. Attack together and kill them!"

"Yes."

"We obey the grand elder's command!"

The presences of thirty-six Azure Luan Royal Guards intertwined as they charged together.

Ye Jinyu remained calm and composed, and even Qing Lingxi beside him wore a faint, cold smile.

For behind Ye Jinyu, a graceful figure in water-blue quietly appeared.

"Grand Elder Luan Mi, why be angry?"

"That deal we made... it was you who broke your promise."

Her voice was cool and clear as a spring.

Xie Qingying wore a long water-blue dress, a blue bird chirping softly on her shoulder. She raised her jade hand and sent forth a bead shimmering with blue light.

A vast curtain of water appeared out of thin air, directly blocking the terrifying wind claw and countless wind blades.

[Bifeng Nether Abyss] and [Heavenly Luan Phoenix Cry]

Water and wind collided with a muffled roar.

At that moment, Grand Elder Luan Mi's expression turned extremely ugly. "The Xie Clan! How could you join forces with the Ye Clan?!"

Xie Qingying and Ye Jinyu exchanged a glance, deep meaning in both their eyes.
