The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

In Shangguan Xue's palace.

"What?! Lin Yi ran away?!"

The smile on Shangguan Xue's face froze instantly.

She walked up to the subordinate, pinched his chin, and said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Ran away? All of you, and you couldn't even keep an eye on a Foundation Establishment stage brat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of black smoke emerged from his fingertips.

The subordinate didn't even have time to scream before he turned into a pool of blood.

"Useless trash, living is a waste of time."

She wiped her fingers, her eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

She rushed into the side hall and saw the miserable state of the four maids, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju. She was so angry that she trembled all over!

The four men had sallow complexions, weak auras, and their cultivation was completely destroyed!

"Ah! Lin Yi! You damned bastard!!!"

Shangguan Xue screamed, her beautiful face contorted into a grimace!

"Dare to touch my people! I'll catch you and squeeze every last drop of your vital essence out of you! I'll make you wish you were dead!"

These four maids were her trusted confidantes whom she had nurtured with countless resources, and now Lin Yi had drained them dry. This loss was driving her crazy!

The sky was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.

After staying up all night, Wei Xian finally opened his eyes.

His aura was as solid as ten-thousand-year-old ice. Just a wisp of his pressure was enough to freeze the air in the entire cave, making it impossible for spiritual energy to circulate!

Lin Yi felt a tightness in his chest as he sensed this aura.

"Damn, this old thing has recovered way too much... now it's practically a humanoid monster!"

He thought to himself, "This knife is sharp enough, but if I mess it up, I'll be the first one to suffer!"

Fortunately, he probed the wisp of primordial soul power within the illusionary space.

"Thank goodness there's this rope tying him up, otherwise I wouldn't dare sleep soundly!"

At the same time.

The Holy Glory Alliance had a rare moment of excitement.

Today is the big day for Sima Liuying and Shangguan Yun's engagement.

On the Shangguan family square.

Lanterns hung high, colorful ribbons fluttered, and the place was packed with guests.

Sima Liuying stood there, dressed in a flowing cloud-patterned dress, her figure graceful and beautiful, like someone who had stepped out of a painting.

She was as aloof as the moon in the sky, so beautiful that everything around her paled in comparison.

But her brows were slightly furrowed, and there was no joy in her eyes, only an unyielding sorrow.

It wasn't that she couldn't resist. With her mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, it wasn't impossible for her to refuse the marriage.

But she can't!

The Shangguan family is far superior to the Sima family!

I heard that there are nine Nascent Soul stage experts in the clan, and there are also many geniuses among the younger generation!

A head-on confrontation would only drag the entire family down with it.

She couldn't let her family suffer because of her.

At this moment, Lin Yi and Wei Xian used the Thousand Faces Illusion Technique to change their faces and blend into the crowd of guests.

Lin Yi's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on that lonely, aloof figure.

Seeing her furrowed brows and sensing the suppressed sorrow emanating from her, Lin Yi's anger flared up.

"Damn it! You dare force my woman to marry you?!"

Just then, something unexpected happened!

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

On the high platform, Shangguan Xiong, the head of the Shangguan family, stood up.

He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as knives. "Today is the auspicious day for the marriage between my Shangguan family and the Sima family. Thank you all for gracing us with your presence."

He said in a loud voice, "Next, I have a few words to say to my in-laws in private."

After saying that, he casually waved his hand.

hum!

A huge light curtain suddenly rose up, enveloping the entire Sima family!

Runes flashed on the light screen, radiating a powerful pressure!

"A fourth-tier spirit-suppressing array?!"

Sima Hao's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly, and his late-stage Nascent Soul spiritual power erupted, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, suppressed by the light barrier!

He was horrified to discover that seventy percent of his cultivation had been suppressed!

Sima Yan, Sima Liuying, Sima Qiuyun and others also hurriedly circulated their cultivation techniques, but they also felt their spiritual energy stagnate and they could not exert any strength!

"Shangguan Xiong! What do you mean by this?!"

Sima Hao questioned angrily, his heart sinking to the bottom.

Shangguan Xiong's smile vanished, replaced by icy indifference. "What do you mean? Brother Sima, things have come to this point, and you still can't see it?"

He looked down at his family like prey in a cage, "Today is not an engagement day, but the day your Sima family bows down and submits to my Shangguan family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, outside the Spirit-Suppressing Array, a series of sharp killing intents soared into the sky!

Countless elites of the Shangguan family, wielding magical weapons, formed a killing formation, completely surrounding the inner courtyard!

The guests then realized what was happening, and the whole place erupted in chaos!

"My God! The pressure from this formation is terrifying!"

"What is the Shangguan family trying to do?!"

But they couldn't believe that the Shangguan family would dare to attack the Sima family, which was also a vice-leader family, in full view of everyone!

Shangguan Xiong unleashed the terrifying pressure of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to suppress all the commotion, and then loudly addressed the guests: "The ceremony is complete. What follows are matters of family business between our two families. Please return to your posts!"

The guests felt a chill run down their spines, and no one dared to voice their doubts; they all hurriedly left.

In the blink of an eye.

The square was eerily silent, deathly still.

Inside the spirit-suppressing array, the Sima family members had ashen faces, like trapped wild beasts.

Outside the formation, Lin Yi and Wei Xian coldly watched everything, like hunters hiding in the shadows.

Within the spirit-suppressing array, the true intentions were finally revealed!

Shangguan Xiong's face was now filled with cold greed. "Sima Hao, hand over the Boundary-Breaking Pearl! I can swear an oath to my inner demons to ensure the continuation of your Sima family bloodline!"

"Otherwise, today will be the day your Sima family disappears from the world!"

Sima Hao's eyes blazed with fury as he gritted his teeth and said, "Shangguan Xiong! How many times have I told you! I have absolutely no idea about any Boundary-Breaking Pearl! Don't make false accusations!"

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Shangguan Xiong completely lost his patience, and withered hands clenched in the air, aiming at Sima Qiuyun and Sima Liuying!

"puff!"

Both women coughed up blood at the same time, their faces turning deathly pale instantly!

"Qiu Yun! Liu Ying! Shangguan, you old dog, how dare you!"

Sima Hao's eyes were bloodshot. He exchanged a glance with Sima Yan and Sima Ping, and a resolute look flashed in the eyes of all three of them at the same time!

"boom!"

Three bursts of Nascent Soul level spiritual power suddenly erupted, frantically crashing into the spirit-suppressing array!

The entire formation trembled violently!

Shangguan Xiong scoffed, "Save your energy! This is the Eight Desolations Spirit Locking Array! Even if two more late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators came, they wouldn't be able to budge it an inch!"

"Borrowed?"

Sima Hao's pupils suddenly contracted. "It's Lan Yirou?! You're the Alliance Leader's person?!"

"Lan Yirou! I've been loyal to you to the core, and I've handed over everything I obtained in the secret realm! There was no such thing as a Boundary-Breaking Pearl! Why won't you believe me?!"

Shangguan shook his head with a sneer, "What's the point of saying all this now? Hand over the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, and I might put in a good word for you with the Alliance Leader and reserve an ascension spot for your Sima family!"

"I, Sima Hao, act with integrity and uprightness! If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen!"

Sima Hao answered decisively!

"Very well! Then just watch them die right in front of you!"

Shangguan Xiong's killing intent surged, and he raised his withered palm, slamming it down hard on Sima Qiuyun's crown!

"Qiuyun! Liuying! Run!"

Sima Hao roared, trying to unleash his cultivation to forcefully tear open a path to survival!

"Bang!"

However, under the powerful suppression of the formation, the three of them couldn't even self-destruct. They were thrown back by the backlash, spitting out blood!

Sima Liuying and Sima Qiuyun were locked in place by an invisible force, unable to move even a finger, and could only watch in despair as the deadly hand fell!

In that life-or-death moment!

"Tsk, a bunch of guys ganging up on two girls, have they no shame?"

A mocking voice suddenly rang out!

The space rippled like water, and two figures appeared out of thin air.

It pierced straight through the supposedly indestructible Eight Desolations Spirit Locking Array and landed steadily in front of Sima Liuying and Sima Qiuyun!

The young man at the head of the group wore a black robe and had a mocking smile on his lips.

The old man beside him exuded a deep and unfathomable aura, his lifeless eyes coldly sweeping over everyone present.

Time seemed to stand still.

Shangguan Xiong's hand was suspended in mid-air, unable to fall down no matter what he did.

The sinister smiles on everyone's faces froze.

Sima Liuying felt that the voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.

The young man in black robes grinned at her, revealing a set of white teeth. "Hey, Little Firefly, don't you recognize me?"

He stepped forward, reached out to support her, and at the same time gave the old man next to him a look.

Shangguan Xiong's face was so dark it could drip water. "Who are you two? Why are you interfering in the internal affairs of my Holy Glory Alliance?"

He stared intently at the old man, whose aura was so powerful that even he, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, felt a chill run down his spine!

Even more outrageous, these two people actually treated the Eight Desolate Spirit Locking Array as a decoration and walked right through it!

Wei Xian quickly sent a telepathic message to Lin Yi, "Kid, this is bad! This formation is too strange, I can't hold out for much longer."

"There's another killing formation outside!"

"The Shangguan family has a lot of experts; I can only take these two girls with me. I can't handle even one more!"

After listening, Lin Yi rolled his eyes. "Damn! I thought you'd be able to wreak havoc once you regained your strength, but all you're capable of? I only managed to show off halfway!"

Wei Xian also felt wronged, "This demonic corpse's body is too fragile. If we force it, it will definitely fall apart, and then none of us will be able to escape."

Lin Yi was at his wit's end. "Alright, alright! Save the beauty first! The fathers-in-law will have to make do for now!"

Wei Xian's spirits lifted. "Alright! Watch my skills!"

The next instant, the demonic corpse unleashed a terrifying aura that filled the sky!

The withered hand, like a ghostly claw, grabbed directly at the binding force!

"Snap!"

The restraints shattered instantly!

"Stop them!"

Shangguan Xiong roared and struck with his palm!

Several Nascent Soul elders launched a simultaneous attack!

"snort!"

Wei Xian gave a hoarse laugh, and a burst of black light shone forth.

He withstood the combined attack of several Nascent Soul cultivators, and slammed his other hand hard onto the light screen!

"boom!"

The great formation trembled violently, and a crack was torn open!

"Walk!"

Wei Xian swept up the three of them, transforming them into a streak of black light that shot into the sky!

Shangguan Xiong's palm print fell along the tail of the black light, blasting out a huge crater!

Amidst the roar of the Shangguan family, the black light vanished on the horizon!

Inside the formation, Sima Hao and his two companions breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the person being rescued, their eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you so much, benefactor!"

Wei Xian could only rescue two people; they remained trapped in the formation.

Shangguan Xiong flew into a rage, yelling, "Seize them! Dig three feet into the ground and bring those two girls back!"

In the mountains and forests thousands of miles away.

Sima Liuying grabbed Lin Yi's arm, her eyes brimming with tears, and pleaded, "Senior! Please save my grandfather and the others!"

Lin Yi hardened his heart and said in a hoarse voice, "Miss, the Shangguan family is too powerful. It's already a miracle that we were able to rescue you."

"The matter of saving lives... needs to be considered carefully."

The light in Sima Liuying's eyes dimmed instantly. She lowered her head, tears silently streaming down her face. "It was...it was Liuying who was presumptuous. Thank you for saving my life, senior."

The helplessness in that voice was heartbreaking.

Lin Yi could no longer harden his heart.

She sighed, reached up and wiped her face, revealing a face that Sima Liuying knew all too well.

Sima Qiuyun's beautiful eyes widened. "It's...it's you? My dear disciple?!"

"Alright, Firefly, don't cry."

Lin Yi said softly, "It's me! Don't worry, I'll find another way to help your grandfather and the others."
