If she is injured, and two Grandmasters attack her simultaneously, it is very likely that she will perish here. At that time, with the balance of power shifting, how could the evil path let go of this opportunity? They will definitely launch a major attack on the righteous path.

Once Zhongzhou falls, the other eight states will be next. Could this mysterious master's purpose be just that? Lin Xuerong felt that things were definitely not that simple.

However, seeing Mo Ningyan holding Lin Xueyi in her arms and refusing to let go, especially with her slightly larger member touching Xueyi's face, she felt even more about to explode.

She was trembling with anger, yet she was still helpless against this bitch, which made Lin Xuerong even more annoyed. But just as she was at her most annoyed, she heard a gasp.

"The person is here."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lin Xuerong rushed over, clenched her fists, and slammed them hard into the ground, landing right next to the person who had just exclaimed in surprise.

A hand as white as jade collided violently with a fist radiating a light blue aura. The intense force of the impact forced the members of the Netherworld Ghost Valley to retreat, and some disciples with lower cultivation levels even had traces of blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

Lin Xuerong stared coldly at the unfamiliar man, seemingly oblivious to the people around her. She knew all the Grandmasters, but this mysterious old man felt like a complete stranger.

Lin Xuerong's eyes fell on the human skin mask in the other person's hand, and she knew that a more mysterious force had definitely intervened this time.

"Who exactly are you, and who is behind you?"

The fact that a Grandmaster-level expert could do such a thing shows how terrifying this mysterious force is. However, his words only elicited a mocking smile from the old man.

"I'm getting old. I didn't expect these kids to not recognize me. It seems I should get out and about more often."

As if they didn't take Lin Xuerong seriously at all, they completely ignored her questions, which made Lin Xuerong, who was already extremely annoyed, even angrier.

"Since you won't answer, I'll beat you until you do."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xuerong's fist was already aimed at the other person's face. However, this punch, filled with anger, had no effect and was easily dodged by the other person.

"Is this all the righteous sect's top-tier palace master is capable of?"

Lin Xuerong, whose attack had been easily dodged, turned her attention back to her opponent. "It seems you're not someone to be trifled with either, but I don't think you have any real skills."

His hands transformed from palms into claws, and each attack was accompanied by a faint dragon's roar, which reminded everyone of Lin Xueyi's famous technique, a dragon's roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

However, Lin Xuerong's cultivation method at this time was not quite the same as the rumors. Perhaps it was because her opponent's cultivation level was very high, which caused her methods to be different from Lin Xueyi's.

The attacks, as fierce as thunder and lightning, and the barrage of blows, forced the old man to retreat continuously. However, judging from his effortless defense, he probably didn't feel threatened by Lin Xuerong's attacks.

Just when the old man thought Lin Xuerong's attack was nothing special, he failed to notice the eerie smile that appeared on Lin Xuerong's lips. The next moment, a violent surge of energy erupted from Lin Xuerong's claws.

"The phoenix spreads its wings and ignites the prairie fire."

The scorching energy kept assaulting the old man. He never expected that the Fire Phoenix Scorching the Plains technique, which had long been lost to the martial arts world, would appear in the hands of this little girl.

It caught him completely off guard, forcing him to retreat several steps and inevitably causing him some minor injuries.

"Good, very good. As expected of a renowned master in the martial arts world, you are worthy to know my name. Remember the name of the person who wants to kill you: Sea Emperor - Shuiyin Kong."

Poseidon? Lin Xueyi might not know this person, but Mo Ningyan and Lin Xuerong, as leaders of top-tier forces, naturally knew the meaning behind this name.

Fifty years ago, the Four Emperors were a legendary figure in the martial arts world, representing the four strongest masters at the time. However, didn't you disappear during a battle? Why?

"Haha, do we need to tell a little kid like you what we did back then?" The Sea Emperor laughed. Back then, the four of them fought against another person, and although they eventually sealed that person away, all four of them were seriously injured. They had only recently recovered.

However, he wouldn't reveal such a shameful thing at this moment. At this instant, Shui Yinkong's palms contained a rich, azure-blue inner energy. With each movement of his palms, ripples spread out.

Main text: Chapter 225 Deceiving and ambushing (Two chapters released together)

"The Palace Master of the Holy Dragon Palace uses the Fire Phoenix Spreads Across the Plains technique. That's really interesting."

The aquamarine ripples between her hands were not only felt by Lin Xuerong, but also by those around her, forcing Lin Xuerong to increase her output of true energy.

"Whether it's interesting or not, as long as I can kill you, that's enough." Fiery red true energy spun continuously in Lin Xuerong's hand, forming a huge fireball-like entity.

Lin Xuerong's move was not unexpected, but Shui Yinkong showed no fear in the face of such an attack. He even had time to glance at the Dragon Slaying Gang not far away while the opponent was gathering his Qi.

He now knew that his goal was probably unattainable. The moment that girl named Lin Xueyi appeared, he knew it was impossible, but he still wanted to try one last time. He hadn't expected that the Netherworld Ghost Valley would instantly lose all the ferocity expected of a demonic sect upon hearing that the other party was the Valley Master's wife. Couldn't they just swarm in and fight alongside the righteous path? And the righteous path was even more bizarre; what was wrong with those sword qi in the sky? Why were they so frightened? They had only said not to act rashly, and then they really didn't move.

What's your purpose in coming here? To see the sisters reunite, or to see the lovers finally get together? You're just here to make a joke.

No matter how much they complained in their hearts, the current situation had completely exceeded their expectations and had even reached an unbearable level.

"Phoenix fire dances wildly."

While he was still complaining, Lin Xuerong seized the opportunity of his distraction and launched her attack. The fireball-like true energy in her hand exploded into a violent airflow the moment she pushed it out.

Contrary to everyone's expectations of being pushed out to collide with the enemy, it was like an ice storm, radiating scorching heat and intense impact in all directions. It quickly rushed to Shuiyin Kong's front.

Just as everyone was stunned by the attack and thought that the battle was over, they heard an old and unhurried voice coming from the scorching heat.

"The ocean is boundless."

The massive, water-like curtain of true energy blocked Lin Xuerong's attack—or rather, it was quickly absorbed into the water curtain, leaving no further ripples.

"Young lady, it's not good to be so hot-tempered. I'm getting on in years, and such enthusiasm is really taking a toll on my old back."

The attack failed, and Lin Xuerong was mocked by the other party. Just as she was about to launch a second attack, Shuiyin Kong did not give her the chance.

"Overwhelming force".

Mo Ningyan didn't know why Lin Xueyi couldn't help but laugh after hearing the opponent's move. However, at this moment, the huge wave of true energy had already rushed in front of Lin Xuerong.

If Lin Xueyi could speak openly, she would complain right now: Is this really turn-based combat? You punch her and she kicks you.

However, no one complained about the attack at this moment, because everyone was terrified by the towering waves. This did not include Lin Xuerong, who remained calm.

She was just standing there a moment ago, but the next second she rushed in front of the shockwave, her hands flashing, and then a dragon's roar rang out.

"The Azure Dragon of the Nine Heavens Breaks Through".

The dragon's roar collided with the shockwave, followed by a tremendous roar that filled everyone's ears. Lin Xuerong and Shui Yinkong had both disappeared from everyone's sight. Amidst the intermittent explosions, the sounds of fists and feet clashing were also heard.

When the two reappeared before everyone's eyes, Lin Xuerong's face was slightly paler, and a trace of blood was clearly visible at the corner of her lips. Haihuang Shuiyinkong wasn't in much better shape either; a clear bloodstain on his face told everyone what kind of attack he had just suffered.

"Haha, little girl, not bad, not bad. Back in the day, no one could leave a 'pfft' on my face..."

Just as Shuiyin Kong was about to make a brief recovery while talking to Lin Xuerong, he didn't realize that someone was already watching his momentary lapse in concentration.

Lin Xueyi, who should have continued to rest and heal in Mo Ningyan's arms, had now appeared behind him. The sudden palm strike had caused him great damage to his heart meridian.

"You...you're not injured."

He stared in astonishment at the girl in front of him. He had clearly struck her in the back with a palm strike, and she had clearly coughed up blood in mid-air and collapsed into the arms of the Valley Master of the Netherworld Ghost Valley. Yet now she was alive and kicking, and had ambushed him with a slap.

“You were faking it just now; you weren’t hurt.”

Being an old hand at the game, he quickly found out what was going on with the other party, but he himself was in a completely different situation.

Is it appropriate for a teenage girl to ambush a man who is over a hundred years old? Moreover, she tried to deceive and ambush him. As a member of the righteous path of martial arts, where is her martial ethics?

"Hmm? I was too soft-hearted just now, I didn't slap him to death. I'm really sorry. But it's fine now, just stand there and don't move, I'll just give you one slap."

Listen to this! Is this even human language? Not only did you ambush me, but now you want to kill me. And what's most infuriating is that you're saying you'll kill me in this innocent voice, even trying to act cute. Don't you know how shameful this is?

Shuiyin Kong was so angry at Lin Xueyi that he was trembling all over. If he hadn't been seriously injured, he would have beaten this scourge to death.

"Sister, you go down first. I'll handle things here. Since he dared to hurt you, he should know that no one in this martial world has the right to hurt you."

This was what she said from the bottom of her heart. Regardless of how Lin Xueyi left the Holy Dragon Palace, what was engraved in her heart and in her bones was her affection and respect for her older sister.

The moment Lin Xueyi saw Lin Xuerong injured, she could feel the rage within her, probably the last bit of obsession of the little girl still inside her making a plea to her.

Since it was the child's request, she naturally had to fulfill it. So Lin Xueyi decided not to pretend any longer and directly killed the lewd old man who had just attacked her and was now attacking Lin Xuerong with a single palm strike.

Of course, this also backfired. Because she was worried that the scene was too bloody and would cause discomfort, Lin Xueyi held back a bit. As a result, she didn't kill him with one blow and left him alive.

After learning why her younger sister had suddenly rushed out, Lin Xuerong felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She subconsciously glared at Mo Ningyan, who had been staring at them from mid-air. Look, this is her good sister. As soon as she was injured, she couldn't help but rush out. This is her good sister. Could you do it?

Mo Ningyan didn't know if she was capable or not, but she knew that it was best not to have any conflict with Lin Xuerong at this time. After all, if Lin Xuerong suffered a loss at her hands, and she pretended to be weak and injured, wouldn't Lin Xueyi end up running back to the Holy Dragon Palace with her? She wouldn't do something so foolish.

"Little girl, don't think you can do whatever you want just because I'm injured. You had the advantage of a sneak attack just now, but now you're right in front of me. So what if you're the youngest grandmaster? In my eyes, you're nothing but a bunch of immature kids."

Despite his injury, Shuiyin Kong took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, carefully poured out a pill, and swallowed it right in front of Lin Xueyi.

Lin Xueyi, who paid no attention to the other party's behavior, was now focused on the Dragon Slayer Gang not far away.

"I say, Chief Meng Chuanying, aren't you leaving a little too soon? I think it would be better if you stayed, since we still have some things to settle down."

"I still have some things to resolve with you all. Do you even need to ask what those things are?" Meng Chuanying could already guess what the other party wanted to discuss with him, but what could he do at this point?

The original hope was that this Sea Emperor, one of the Four Emperors of yesteryear, would be as powerful as his name suggested, able to kill Lin Xueyi with a single slap, or at least severely injure her and render her temporarily unable to speak.

As long as she cannot speak, it is impossible for the Netherworld Ghost Valley to join forces with the Holy Dragon Palace to attack her. On the contrary, since the two sides cannot engage in battle at this time, he has a good reason to withdraw with his people.

As for what happens next, once they get out, they can go find that mysterious force. If they can get their help, it's not impossible to save the Dragon Slayer Gang.

At worst, we can find those who did it and hand them over to her. Sacrificing the pawn to save the king is a viable option, but the premise is that this matter cannot be made public.

They could only do it secretly, but now they're caught between good and evil, under the watchful eyes of everyone. How could he possibly hand over his people to Lin Xueyi in exchange for her forgiveness?

Just as Meng Chuanying was struggling with his decision, a terrifying aura was rising steadily, even surpassing Lin Xuerong's and Mo Ningyan, the master of the Netherworld Ghost Valley, and it was still rising without stopping.

I initially thought it was Lin Xueyi's aura, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was clearly the aura emanating from Haihuang Shuiyinkong.

"Little girl, you really don't know what's good for you. You just watched me take my medicine without stopping me, and you watched me get more and more aggressive without intervening. Hmph, your courage will only make you die faster."

With her head tilted to the side, Lin Xueyi listened to the other person barking wildly, but she just pouted, showing her disdain for the other person's words.

The little hand swung around a few times, as if Shuiyin Kong's words were just a passing breeze, gone after a while. How could Shuiyin Kong, who was originally determined to avenge his humiliation, bear this?

As a veteran who had already made a name for himself in the martial arts world before Lin Xueyi was born, when faced with such rudeness from a junior who even lied to him, ambushed him, and injured him, he could only use his fists to advise her to behave herself.

"You stubborn little brat, let's see how I teach you a lesson."

Then, to everyone's horror, he was slapped lightly, without any force, and without even using any internal energy.

It was just a simple slap, but Lin Xueyi looked somewhat innocent, touching her palm with tears in her eyes, "Ouch, my hand hurts so much."

The physical damage wasn't high, but the humiliation was immense. Shuiyin Kong had never experienced such disgrace before, never. Back in the day, as one of the Four Emperors, he was a legendary figure in the martial world. And now, he'd been publicly slapped in the face by a mere child. How could he possibly tolerate that?

"That wretched woman, I've had enough!"

"Snapped"

"You just wait..."

"Clap clap."

"I won't let you get away with this..."

"Clap clap clap."

"Why do you always slap people in the face?"

Covering his face, Shuiyin Kong, who had nowhere to vent his anger, roared in frustration, only to receive an innocent reply from Lin Xueyi.
