The chaotic moment of destiny finally arrived. Above the sky, an overwhelming pressure swept in, and its mighty force stirred up a whirlwind on the ground.

"Huhuhu~"

A fierce wind howled, and on the ground, Ling Yao and the other cultivators from the Zhao Kingdom involuntarily raised their hands to shield their eyes from the wind.

Gu Shenge stood in the crowd, her double pupils scanning the area. An Yuan had arrived, but the system was nowhere to be seen, which was very strange.

Gu Shenge remained silent and stayed in the crowd.

A short while later, a group of more than thirty people landed, including five cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and the rest were all Nascent Soul stage cultivators with considerable strength.

However, they seemed to be at odds with Lingyao and her group. As soon as they gathered, tensions rose, and they looked ready to fight at any moment.

The leader of the group was a tall, slender woman with fair skin and a flame between her brows. She stood in mid-air in front of Ling Yao, her eyes cold and sharp.

Lingyao was not afraid and angrily retorted, "Lingyun, what do you want to do?"

Lingyun landed beside the scattered remnants of the Great Path of Time, and the people he brought also quickly landed, sealing the remnants inside and cutting off the passage for Lingyao and the others to comprehend it.

Lingyao's eyes widened, and she angrily retorted, "What are you doing! We discovered this opportunity first!"

Lingyun scoffed, "You discovered it first, but now I've seen it too. You're just a concubine's princess; do you think you can compete with the legitimate eldest princess for this opportunity?"

Lingyao's initial determination to argue her case weakened instantly, and she remained silent, completely intimidated.

Beside Lingyun, Anyuan whispered something in Lingyun's ear, then stared at Lingyao with ill intent. Lingyun immediately retorted, "I heard you seem to have colluded with a demon. Where is that person now?"

"A demon?" Lingyao asked, her face full of confusion.

The Zhao Kingdom cultivators who followed Ling Yao behind were also puzzled. They had been here for so long, and had never seen any evil spirits before.

Ma Yuansheng, whose status must be quite high, stepped forward to answer on Lingyao's behalf: "Princess, there are no so-called evil spirits here. Have you been instigated by some villains? If we fight amongst ourselves, Wei Jin will be the one to benefit in the end. I urge Your Highness to reconsider."

Lingyun frowned slightly and looked at An Yuan beside her. An Yuan was a descendant of a noble of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it was possible that he was instigating her.

Upon hearing this, An Yuan immediately became anxious and hurriedly said, "You all saw how that demon slaughtered the cultivators of the Great Wei! With that kind of strength and those brutal methods, isn't he a truly wicked person? Isn't he a demon?"

Gu Shenge was stunned for a moment. She had thought that these people couldn't come up with a better reason for causing trouble, but she didn't expect that she would be the reason for their attack.

Damn it, when did I become a demon?
Ling Yao glanced at Gu Shengge subtly, then angrily rebuked, "An Yuan, what nonsense are you spouting! It was clearly your overconfidence in fighting the senior that led to your deaths. What 'fierce and heinous'? You really have the nerve to turn the tables! You're courting death for trying to sow discord among the cultivators of Zhao!"

Lingyao immediately took action, unleashing a fiery red spirit sword from her palm at incredible speed, instantly piercing in front of Anyuan.

An Yuan's eyes widened, and he quickly formed hand seals, condensing a spell mark in his palm to create a light shield in front of him, with the shape of a Xuanwu (Black Tortoise) attached to it.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the two energies collided, creating ripples of energy. Even the nearby spirits were startled and quickly retreated.

Although An Yuan blocked the attack, her face was extremely ugly. She said irritably, "Ling Yun, don't forget what you promised me!"

An Yuan managed to block the attack, albeit with some difficulty. After receiving it, she suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, looking quite disheveled.

Lingyun had been observing and didn't know what she had promised Anyuan, but after Anyuan shouted, Lingyun's cultivation level instantly surged: "Lingyao, stop immediately!"

"Your Majesty, please don't let this person provoke you any further! We, the people of Zhao, are one family!" Lingyao cried out. "I have my own plans for this matter. You should stop."

Lingyao had no choice but to give up, feeling quite unwilling.

Lingyun landed on the ground with her people and said in a deep voice, "Lingyao, you don't want things to get too ugly, do you? It's not worth turning against us for a demon of unknown origin. Hand over the person quickly!"

Lingyao did not back down at all regarding this matter.

"Royal sister, I really don't know what this Anyuan is talking about, and I've never seen any evil spirits!"

An Yuan's expression turned serious. The system had clearly told her that the person was still alive, and that as long as she brought Ling Yun and the others over, that guy would surely die.

But now, it's impossible to find.

The key issue is that the system, for some unknown reason, has fallen into a deep sleep, leaving itself in such an awkward situation!

Just when An Yuan herself was about to give up, she suddenly heard the system's voice in her ear.

"That guy might be in the crowd. Let's stop holding back and attack everyone!"

Hearing the sounds coming from beside him, An Yuan was momentarily stunned. So many Nascent Soul Realm experts, and he was actually going to make a move in front of them? Was the system really afraid that he wouldn't die fast enough?
She mentally complained, but the system ignored her and remained silent after giving the instructions.

Anyuan's achievements today are all thanks to the system, and now it can only forcibly complete the tasks issued by the system.

She suddenly made a move, her palm emitting beams of divine light that transformed into blades of light, sweeping towards Ling Yao and the cultivators behind her.

Lingyao immediately flew into a rage, roaring, "Damn it! Is there no room for negotiation? Royal sister, you forced me into this!"

Lingyao made her move. The Time Dao she had just comprehended flowed, and everyone's movements became incredibly slow in her eyes. Taking advantage of this time gap, she rushed in front of Anyuan and threw a punch straight at her face.

An Yuan felt the cool breeze coming from ahead and realized the danger. She quickly dodged, but the fist still landed solidly on her face.

"Oh!"

The power of time collapsed, and Anyuan crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Lingyun sensed the power unleashed by the person beside her, her eyes filled with astonishment: "Lingyao, you actually comprehended the Great Dao of Time?"

As she said this, her gaze immediately fell on the remnants of the Time Crystal on the ground. Without a doubt, Lingyao's understanding of the Great Dao of Time must have originated from this.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lingyao struck again. She now only wanted to kill An Yuan. Only if An Yuan died could Gu Shenge's identity remain hidden.

A spiritual sword materialized in her palm, incredibly sharp, emitting a series of buzzing sounds.

"Suffer to death!"

Her sword pierced down in an instant, but An Yuan showed no fear whatsoever; instead, she revealed a sinister and smug expression.

Lingyao sensed something was wrong and tried to stop, but it was too late. She could only press on and thrust her sword toward Anyuan's throat.

As Ling Yao approached, An Yuan swiftly unleashed three talismans, each containing a massive amount of spiritual energy, their power boundless. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator felt a tremor in their heart. (End of Chapter)
