Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

We need to deal with Situ Kong first.

This deputy general, who was at the mid-stage of the Wuji realm, was still a troublesome figure, even though he had been completely outmaneuvered by him.

Even if it's just a small problem.

and.

According to the memories of Tian Kui and others, behind Situ Kong stands the Situ family, which possesses an old monster at the Other Shore Realm.

There's no reason to let such a high-quality piece, delivered right to our doorstep, slip through our fingers.

hum.

In the depths of the true spirit.

The Seed of the Heavenly Demon flickered slightly.

Not far away.

Shen Qingci, who was originally preparing to leave with the other star lords, suddenly stopped.

She turned around.

Her cold gaze fell on Su Yu's blood-stained clothes.

Subconsciously, an overwhelming feeling of heartache and guilt surged forth like a tide.

"He was targeted by Tiankui and Tianji because of me."

"If it weren't for protecting me, how could he have gotten zero points, and how could he have been so badly injured?"

Shen Qingci ignored the surprised looks around her.

She walked straight up to Su Yu.

She stretched out her fair and slender hand.

She naturally took Su Yu's arm.

She even leaned most of Su Yu's body against her soft shoulder.

"Walk."

Although Shen Qingci's voice remained cold, it revealed a hint of tenderness that she herself was unaware of.

"I'll take you to heal your wounds."

Su Yu lowered his head slightly.

His deep gaze was fixed on the stunning profile so close to his face.

He did not refuse.

They moved closer to it.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together.

Shen Qingci's body stiffened slightly.

But she quickly relaxed.

Even deep within her heart, an indescribable ripple stirred.

This man, who was always so calm and unfathomable, finally leaned on her shoulder without any guard up.

This subtle feeling of acceptance and trust caused the corners of her mouth to curve upwards in a tiny arc.

This scene.

This was seen by Situ Kong on the distant high platform.

Click.

The white jade floor tiles beneath Situ Kong's feet instantly turned to dust.

His teeth were almost ground to powder.

Hey.

Insane jealousy.

He thought that Su Yu's zero score would make him a laughing stock in the entire Dao Court, and Shen Qingci would see through this good-for-nothing's true colors.

They would discard it like worn-out shoes.

But now.

Shen Qingci not only did not show any disgust, but also helped him up in public!

Even Situ Kong's keen divine sense, at the mid-stage of the Boundless Realm, clearly caught the barely perceptible smile on Shen Qingci's lips!

"You bitch!"

Situ Kong roared inwardly.

He took a deep breath.

He forcibly suppressed the rampaging Wuji Origin within his body.

on the surface.

He snorted coldly.

He flung his purple-gold python robe aside, turned around, and strode away from Taixu Square.

His back view exuded an air of superiority and disdain.

but.

Actually.

The moment I left the square.

Situ Kong's body then transformed into an invisible and intangible shadow.

The Method of Concealing Formless Void.

This is the Situ family's top secret technique.

He silently lurked within the void fault line.

Like a venomous snake, it relentlessly followed behind Su Yu and Shen Qingci.

……

Falling Star Cliff.

Lanyue Pavilion.

This is Shen Qingci's cultivation cave in the main domain of the Dao Court.

Suspended above a vast sea of ​​clouds.

The surrounding area was surrounded by numerous peak-level star formations.

Extremely secretive.

Normally, let alone men, even other female star lords wouldn't dare to step into this place.

But today.

Shen Qingci personally deciphered the formation.

Helping Su Yu into the boudoir that exuded a faint fragrance.

Inside the attic.

The decorations were extremely simple and elegant.

Shen Qingci helped Su Yu onto a cloud bed carved from ten-thousand-year-old warm jade.

"Lie down first."

Shen Qingci turned around and took out an exquisite jade bottle from her storage ring.

"This is the Daoist court's sacred healing medicine, the Nine-Turn Star Pill."

She poured out a pill that emitted a rich starlight and held it to Su Yu's lips.

The movements are gentle.

There was even a hint of caution in it.

Su Yu looked at her.

He didn't open his mouth.

His deep eyes calmly gazed at the tightly closed wooden door of the attic.

"Star Lord".

Su Yu spoke calmly.

"No need for medicine."

"A guest has arrived."

Shen Qingci was slightly taken aback.

Before she could react...

boom----!!!

Outside the Moon-Gazing Pavilion, there was a Starry Sky Killing Array, powerful enough to withstand attacks from peak-level Hunyuan cultivators.

It's as if it were made of paper.

It was instantly torn apart by an extremely terrifying rule of destruction.

The entire attic shook violently.

The wooden door shattered into pieces with a crash.

A powerful pressure from the mid-stage of the Limitless Realm, transcending the underlying rules.

Like a burst dam, the water poured directly into this secluded boudoir.

space.

It was completely blocked.

Situ Kong.

A figure clad in a purple-gold python robe slowly emerged from the swirling fragments of void.

His face was extremely gloomy.

But a cruel and arrogant sneer lingered at the corner of his mouth.

"A hidden cave."

"A lone man and a lone woman."

Situ Kong's gaze swept back and forth between Su Yu and Shen Qingci.

The jealousy and murderous intent in his eyes were almost tangible.

"Qingci, you have really disappointed me."

Situ Kong approached step by step.

The oppressive aura of the mid-stage Wuji cultivator crushed the furnishings in the pavilion to dust.

"I've been pursuing you for so long, and you won't even let me touch your hand."

"Now, she actually brought a piece of trash from the early stages of the Primordial Chaos realm back to her boudoir?"

Shen Qingci's face was pale.

But she did not back down.

She forced herself to maintain the suppressed primordial energy within her body and took a step forward.

They stood firmly in front of Su Yu's bed.

"Situ Kong!"

Shen Qingci gritted her teeth.

"This is my cave dwelling!"

"You dare to forcibly enter the Star Lord's residence? Aren't you afraid of being investigated by the Dao Court's Enforcement Hall?!"

"The Hall of Law Enforcement?"

Situ Kong seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

He tilted his head back and laughed unrestrainedly.

"Shen Qingci, aren't you being too naive?"

"Don't you know the status of my Situ family within the Daoist Court?"

"Even if I kill both of you right here today."

"The Enforcement Hall doesn't dare utter a single word!"

Situ Kong stopped laughing.

His gaze, sharp as a venomous snake, fixed on Su Yu behind Shen Qingci.

"Don't rush, little beauty."

Situ Kong licked his lips, his tone revealing a perverse excitement.

"Neither of you are getting away today!"

"I will do it in front of you."

"Crush this piece of trash's bones, inch by inch."

"Then, I'll cherish you properly."

Situ Kong raised his hand.

At his fingertips, a mass of pitch-black, boundless destructive essence coalesced.

It reached straight for Shen Qingci.

He wanted to subdue Shen Qingci first, and then slowly torture Su Yu.

A flicker of despair flashed in Shen Qingci's eyes.

The power of someone in the mid-stage of the Limitless Realm is something she simply cannot contend with.

But she still did not back down.

Prepare to burn your very essence and fight to the death.

however.

Just as Situ Kong's palm was only half an inch away from Shen Qingci's shoulder.

One hand.

A hand with distinct joints, seemingly ordinary.

It emerged from behind Shen Qingci.

He walked over her shoulder.

Just like that, so casually.

He grabbed Situ Kong's wrist.

Snapped.

A soft sound.

It was exceptionally clear in the deathly silent attic.

Situ Kong's hand froze in mid-air.

The boundless primordial energy at the fingertips, powerful enough to destroy stars, was extinguished the moment it touched that hand, like a flame doused with ice water.
