Lord Holy Sword is unreliable again.

Four hours ago.

Lu Qingyuan was meditating with her eyes closed in her residence when the Supreme Elder suddenly rushed in with a tense expression.

She thought something had happened to Wang Hong, but before she could ask, the scenery changed and she was taken directly to the Lu family ancestral hall by the Supreme Elder.

"Qingyuan, a major upheaval has occurred in Starship City. There is an extremely powerful enemy in the Free and Unfettered Pavilion. Qingyan has already entered the Free and Unfettered Pavilion before me, and I must go in immediately to investigate the situation."

"The allied forces from all races who have come to the aid of the divine beast's descendant will soon arrive at the ancestral hall. You must remain here; a fierce battle may be brewing today!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Supreme Elder had already vanished.

Before Lu Qingyuan could react, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction of the ancestral hall.

Just as she was about to rush in to check, a series of booming sounds came from beyond the sky. The Lu family's protective formation suddenly lit up, but then quickly went out.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of powerful individuals fell like meteors in front of the ancestral hall, launching a fierce attack on the Xuanhu Guards who were guarding the place!

Lu Qingyuan scanned the area with his divine sense and sensed many familiar auras. Among these enemies, there were actually quite a few armies composed of local families from Starship City!

Were they also subdued by the Naqing tribe?

Her heart sank. The enemy outnumbered her several times over, both in number and strength!

And they were prepared!

Without a second thought, he immediately led the Xuanhu Guards to meet the enemy.

Fortunately, the reinforcements from various ethnic groups that the Supreme Elder had mentioned arrived almost simultaneously.

Dragon Clan Imperial Guard, Phoenix Feather, Qilin Guard...

Hundreds of figures descended from the sky, all of them elites at the Foundation Establishment stage or above!

Huang Yangqian's expression was solemn. Led by the clan elders, they arrived at Starship City, but before they could even discuss their plans, the elders' expressions changed drastically, and they rushed out of the city.

The elder's words still echoed in his ears: "Huang Yangqian, lead everyone to the Lu family immediately to support them in resisting the enemy's attack!"

They traveled at full speed and finally arrived at this moment.

Another powerful aura appeared, and Ji Kang led two thousand Qiongqi armored soldiers to form the "Thunder Tiger Formation" in front of the ancestral hall, forming a pincer movement with the Lu family's Xuanhu Guards.

Led by Qing Shuyan, the city lord's guards formed the "Dragon Scale Formation," with a pale golden shield stretching across the field like a giant shield.

There were also some small, weak clans who came to help under the orders of the city lord.

Lu Qingyuan's heart leaped with excitement. He quickly gathered three thousand Xuanhu Guards, relying on the ancestral temple's protective array, and fought alongside the reinforcements.

Huang Yangqian, Qing Shuyan, and Ji Kang all flew forward and came to Lu Qingyuan.

"What exactly happened? Why did the elders go outside the city?"

Lu Qingyuan shook her head, "I don't know either. Xiaoyao Pavilion is located under this ancestral hall. My family's Supreme Elder and Lord Qingcheng have already entered it."

Qing Shuyan said, "The main force of the Imperial Guard is outside Starship City; perhaps there are even more terrifying enemies there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank; this operation was far more complicated than they had imagined!

Huang Yangqian took out a fiery red token and placed it between his eyebrows. He closed his eyes tightly to sense it, and his face lit up with joy. He had finally sensed Huang Qianyu's aura!

But why isn't her presence in this Xiaoyao Pavilion?

"My name is Huang Yangqian. Fellow Daoist Lu, do you know where my Huang Qianyu is located?"

Lu Qingyuan found it difficult to speak. Huang Qianyu was currently inside Wang Hong's glass lamp, while Wang Hong was getting married to Ji Duanyi. Such matters were simply impossible to explain!

"I've already seen Huang Qianyu. Her safety isn't a concern right now. The most important thing is to repel the invading enemy!"

Huang Yangqian was full of doubts, but he also knew that this was not the time to ask more questions.

Moreover, Huang Qianyu's aura is stable. Since she is not in Xiaoyao Pavilion, she is probably not in danger for the time being!

The battlefield was now divided into two layers.

On the ground, Qi Refining stage soldiers formed battle formations and clashed. Enemy spells rained down on them, creating ripples, but they could not break the formation.

Meanwhile, in the sky, Foundation Establishment experts were fighting each other in pairs.

No Foundation Establishment cultivator dared to rush into the Qi Refining army formation.

The sheer force of that battle formation was enough to trap them in a quagmire, and a single misstep could lead to them being surrounded and killed by concentrated fire.

Therefore, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators tacitly opened up a second battlefield in the sky above the main battleground, with Qing Shuyan, the commander of the Dragon Clan's Imperial Guard, and Huang Yangqian, the commander of the Divine Beast Alliance, each facing off against the enemy Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Only the Starship City Alliance, cobbled together from smaller factions, had to gather around the main army due to fragmented command and weak strength.

Iron Fox Guard Deputy Commander Bai Yexing stood in the ancestral hall, his eyes reddening as he looked at the battlefield. The White Water Serpent Clan had suffered heavy casualties, and as the clan leader, he felt utterly ashamed before his ancestors!

In just one hour, the area outside the ancestral hall was already covered with a thick layer of corpses.

Dragons, phoenixes, unicorns...

The powerful corpses of mythical beasts lay scattered about, a truly shocking sight.

In the heat of battle, sharp screams suddenly echoed throughout Starship City:

"The Lu and Ji families are secretly imprisoning various divine beasts and absorbing their bloodlines!"

"Charge into the Leisurely Pavilion and relieve the divine beast clan's calamity!"

Everyone in the ancestral hall was startled. Qing Shuyan and Huang Yangqian reacted quickly and immediately clarified the situation loudly.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Lifeng suddenly slashed at Qing Shuyan beside him!

Of the three thousand Xuanhu Guards, nearly a thousand defected at the same time, pointing their blades at their comrades!

More than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Wolf Clan, Foundation Establishment retainers from the Tian Family, Foundation Establishment guest elders from the Wang Family, and Foundation Establishment experts from more than a dozen small and medium-sized families all launched an attack at the same time!

Even among the Dragon Clan's Imperial Guards, figures suddenly attacked their comrades beside them!

With the combined efforts of inside and outside forces, the protective formation of the ancestral hall shattered, and the unsuspecting powerful figures from various races were instantly severely injured.

Seeing this tragic scene, Lu Qingyuan felt a surge of anger.

There are so many traitors!

Her nine-tailed bloodline boiled, burning her essence blood at any cost to unleash the Nine-Tailed Divine Power—Sacred Fox Burning the Heavens!

A colossal nine-tailed soul appeared, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was swallowed up as if by a vortex, flowing into its mouth in an instant.

The spirit fox opened its mouth and unleashed a sea of ​​blazing white flames that swept across the surrounding area, forcing both sides of the battle back ten miles away from the ancestral temple.

Everyone present gasped in surprise!

Qing Shuyan exclaimed, "Her strength is truly astounding! The Spirit Fox Clan is indeed full of hidden talents!"

Ji Kang muttered, "Her divine power almost reached the level of a half-step Golden Core cultivator, but it's still a bit inferior to my White Emperor brother!"

Enraged by the traitorous actions of the wolf clan, Huang Yangqian frantically gathered his peak Foundation Establishment spiritual power into his hand.

He roared, and a huge fire phoenix spread its wings and soared into the sky, unleashing a torrent of purple true fire that instantly reduced more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators and several military formations to ashes.

After half an hour of bloody fighting, the allied forces finally wiped out all the enemies inside.

The surviving defenders retreated to the main hall of the ancestral temple, all of them wounded, their spiritual energy nearly depleted.

Lu Qingyuan glanced around and saw that only one thousand Xuanhu Guards remained, more than half of the one thousand Imperial Guards had been lost, and the Phoenix and Qilin Guards had also suffered casualties.

Her heart sank.

She even had a premonition that the enemy's attack had not truly begun...

Ten miles away, in front of the enemy's formation.

A group of powerful Foundation Establishment stage demons surrounded a black-robed man—Mo Fa—like stars surrounding the moon.

Lu Lifei, covered in blood, stood beside him with a cold smile on his lips.

"Your Highness, the enemy has retreated to the ancestral temple. We can rest briefly and then continue our attack!"

Mo Fa, however, looked displeased, his tone tinged with anger: "We've been fighting all afternoon, when are you going to take down the ancestral hall?"

He was furious.

When his younger brother Mo Jie's soul lamp went out, his father was furious and demanded to see his body!

He personally entered Xiaoyao Pavilion yesterday and has not emerged since. He must capture the ancestral hall and lead his troops into the pavilion to provide support.

The Xiaoyao Pavilion is crucial to the Holy Race's launch plan!

The elders in the clan were all idiots. They were caught in the ambush by the experts of Starship City and had no choice but to fight outside the city!

Fortunately, his ink magic is still hidden here, and today we will rely on him to turn the tide!

However, Lu Qingyuan actually appeared at the ancestral hall. Did that good-for-nothing Ji family not even manage to deal with Ji Duanyi?

What exactly happened to this ancestral hall? Why did such a flawless plan keep going wrong?

Mo Fa vaguely sensed the tremors coming from deep within the Lu family's land, and his unease grew. Since the plan had already begun, there was no need to hide it anymore!

After fighting for so long, there should be no one in the city who can threaten Mofa now!

Thinking of this, Mo Fa suddenly roared to the sky, unleashing his surging Golden Core stage magic power, and a powerful pressure descended as if the sky were collapsing.

He suddenly activated the core of the Netherworld within his body, unleashing a massive bolt of energy towards the sky. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly became incredibly violent, and the tide of spiritual energy swept across all directions!

At the same time, shouts and cries rose and fell throughout Starship City, and spirit boats took off one after another, their black shadows flashing as they sped toward the Lu family, the Ji family, and the city lord's mansion.

Lu Qingyuan's expression changed drastically; they had actually been hiding so much power!

Mo Fa flashed and pounced straight at Lu Qingyuan.

The pressure from the early Golden Core stage was like a mountain pressing down, and the demons in the ancestral hall could hardly lift their heads. Even the Foundation Establishment demons were pale-faced. Faced with the Golden Core, they could not even stand up!

With her spiritual energy nearly depleted, Lu Qingyuan swallowed an eighth-grade Spirit Recovery Pill. Her Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline surged, and the gilded black blade in her hand met the attack head-on!

"Heavenly Fox Burns the Sky!"

boom!

The moment the two forces collided, Lu Qingyuan's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, carving a deep trench in the ground and smashing through the ancestral hall wall, sending bricks and stones flying everywhere.

Lu Lingfeng exclaimed, "Young Clan Leader!" His face was ashen; a Golden Core cultivator was simply beyond their ability to fight!

Meanwhile, outside the ancestral hall.

Wang Hong charged forward like a madman, and at that moment he could already sense that familiar aura.

The pressure from the Golden Core stage made his heart sink, and he could even feel Lu Qingyuan's aura weakening!

He just wanted to slap himself hard!

Damn it, why did I waste so much time on the road!

The Holy Sword spun wildly, and Emperor Knight's Silent Core was activated without regard for cost. He rushed towards the ancestral hall like an arrow released from a bow!

Damn!

Why can't I fly?!
