After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

There must be something wrong here.

Either there's something special about this kid that makes the other party have ulterior motives.

Or... this kid is their weakness.

Regardless, this is a pawn that can be used.

Xiao Qingtian was making plans in his mind.

Perfect timing, we can use this kid to test this old man's bottom line.

He then spoke to the two Core Formation cultivators beside him, his voice calm:

"Go, take this kid down."

Upon hearing this, the two Core Formation cultivators exchanged a glance, then looked at their own ancestor, and immediately felt more confident.

"yes!"

The two bowed and accepted the order, then flashed towards Lin Fengmian!

But how fast is a Core Formation cultivator?

Almost instantly, the two appeared in front of Lin Fengmian!

Spiritual energy surged, and the oppressive force was as heavy as a mountain!

Lin Fengmian felt a terrifying pressure coming towards him, as if a mountain was pressing down on his chest, making it difficult to even breathe!

Xiao Sheng, seeing that he had his ancestor backing him up, was overjoyed!

He scrambled to his feet, pointing at Lin Fengmian, his voice hoarse:

"Quickly! Take down this good-for-nothing who only knows how to hide behind women!"

"I'll make him wish he were dead!"

All he wanted to do at that moment was to get rid of Lin Fengmian completely!

The thought that the three women he considered the best candidates for Daoist partners—Chu Qingyi, Nangong Li, and Xiao Xiyue—had all been taken by a useless furnace cauldron filled Xiao Sheng with rage and insane jealousy!

He is the Holy Son of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, a direct descendant of the Xiao family, and a genius that appears only once in a century!

Why is he inferior to a piece of trash with five spiritual roots?!

Why should I?!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Xiao Sheng laughed loudly, his laughter filled with madness:

"Lin Fengmian, aren't you supposed to be a great fighter? Don't you have a woman protecting you?"

"Come, come, let this holy son see if you can leave here alive today!"

"Once I bring you back, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

His laughter echoed across the square.

however--

next moment.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound suddenly rang out!

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, leaving everyone stunned.

Xiao Sheng's laughter abruptly stopped.

He was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer and sent flying backward!

"Bang--!"

He fell heavily to the ground and slid more than ten feet before coming to a stop!

His left cheek was swollen high, blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he had lost two teeth!

"Who...who hit me?!"

Xiao Sheng covered his face, his eyes filled with terror.

The Supreme Elder slowly withdrew her hand, her beautiful eyes beneath the veil filled with coldness.

"Xiao Sheng, you are truly insolent!"

Her voice was cold, yet it contained anger:

"How dare you be so arrogant before me?"

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"

Xiao Sheng covered his face, not daring to speak again, but looked at the Supreme Elder with resentment.

Xiao Qingtian's face darkened completely.

"Fellow Daoist Chu!"

He spoke, his voice icy, tinged with suppressed rage:

"You really think I don't exist?!"

As soon as the words fell—

He made a hand seal!

A series of streaks of light suddenly appeared around him!

Those streams of light were dazzling, radiating starlight, surrounding him densely, like a small patch of starry sky!

Each streak of light contained terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy!

"Starfall!"

Xiao Qingtian gave a low shout and waved his hand!

Countless streaks of starlight, like a torrential rain, poured down upon the Supreme Elder!

The speed is astonishing!

The oppressive aura was as imposing as a mountain!

Upon seeing this, the Supreme Elder's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly raised his hand to defend himself!

She gently raised her slender hand, her jade-like fingers forming a hand seal—

A light blue screen of light condensed and took shape in front of her!

"Water Curtain Sky Splendor!"

This is her most proficient defensive technique: using softness to overcome hardness and water to control force!

however--

"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"

Countless streaks of starlight crashed onto the water curtain, creating terrifying shockwaves!

The water curtain trembled violently, and the light flickered erratically!

The Supreme Elder gritted his teeth and desperately circulated his spiritual power, trying to stabilize his defense.

But her old wound was aggravated at this moment!

The long-dormant wound inside my body was suddenly torn open, and excruciating pain shot through me!

"puff--!"

A mouthful of blood spurted directly from her mouth!

Blood mist filled the air, splattering onto the moon-white skirt—a horrifying sight!

The azure light screen shattered with a crash as her spiritual energy became disordered!

"Ha ha!"

"He was indeed injured!"

Xiao Qingtian was overjoyed upon seeing this!

His guess was correct!

The old man's old injury really hasn't healed!

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he is seriously injured!

He withdrew his spiritual power, stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the Supreme Elder with a smug smile on his lips:

"Elder Chu, it seems you can't protect that kid today."

His tone was full of confidence and composure.

The Supreme Elder clutched his chest; beneath his veil, his exquisitely beautiful face was as pale as paper.

She tried to speak, but found that she couldn't even make a sound.

The internal injuries were more serious than I had imagined.

Xiao Qingtian sneered and winked at the two Core Formation cultivators.

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Take them away!"

The two Core Formation cultivators exchanged a glance and then pounced on Lin Fengmian again!

"Kid, come with us!"

One of them reached out and grabbed at Lin Fengmian's shoulder!

How fast is a Core Formation cultivator?

Before Lin Fengmian could even react, the hand was already in front of him!

At the critical moment—

Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth, his spiritual power surging wildly within him!

Nine Yang Seal!

He made a hand seal, and a dazzling golden light condensed in his palm, radiating an extremely hot aura!

He's going to give it his all!

Even if we can't win, we must never sit idly by and wait to die!

however--

The Core Formation cultivator's hand was only three feet away from him.

The oppressive aura was like a mountain, causing his bones to creak and groan.

Lin Fengmian could sense that his Nine Yang Seal was utterly insignificant in front of his opponent.

The gap between Core Formation and Foundation Establishment is like an insurmountable chasm.

But he did not back down.

We cannot return it.

He took a deep breath, preparing to unleash the Nine Yang Seal in his hand—

Suddenly, a hand pressed down on his shoulder.

That hand was slender and fair, yet it possessed an undeniable strength.

"Husband, step back."

Her voice was cool, yet carried a hint of gentleness.

Lin Fengmian was taken aback and looked up.

Nangong Li was already standing in front of him without him noticing.

Those beautiful eyes, which usually carried a hint of languor, were now icy cold, flickering with golden flames.

The ancient crimson mark between her brows flashed with light once more!

It's even more dazzling and eye-catching than before!

An even more terrifying aura than before erupted from her body!

The aura was so tangible that it transformed into a visible wave of air that swept outwards!
