Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

The goddess almost rolled her eyes in an unseemly manner, but upon hearing this, she took a deep breath and said...

"Don't tell me that no other measures were taken."

"I do not believe."

If the boy had been so careless and arrogant, I would never have lost to him back then.

And they lost so miserably.

"Ugh."

The boy sighed dramatically and spoke slowly.

"Since you trust me, then just wait and see."

what?

What time is it?! What are you waiting for?!

How long can we wait?!

Su Qing ignored her.

Instead, he looked at Ji Lanxue and finally asked a question.

"To me, this sounds like a good thing."

"If you can refine the Black Stream, it will benefit all the people in the world."

"You will be remembered for all time. If that's the case, why are you being so hesitant and sneaky?"

"Pfft, hahahaha!"

Her Highness burst into laughter.

She even supported her slender waist, seemingly amused by the boy's question.

For a long time.

She calmed down and couldn't help but chuckle as she spoke.

"I never expected you to have such a naive idea."

“Refining the Black Stream is not the same as destroying it. That’s a catastrophe for heaven and earth, how can it be destroyed so easily?”

"Even after being refined, the black current will still retain a portion of its power and will randomly appear in areas protected by dragon veins. However, you can rest assured that once I have the time, I will naturally resolve this great calamity."

She spoke somewhat vaguely.

but.

Su Qing and Gu Beihan were both intelligent people, and they both understood the implication behind her words.

After refining the black stream.

Her Highness will need a considerable amount of time to control and absorb that power.

During this period.

The Black Current will wreak havoc everywhere.

now.

The Black Stream's offensive was somewhat traceable, wave after wave.

But by then...

It's like all the Black Current Calamity was poured down at once.

A great calamity befell heaven and earth.

Even if some of its power is absorbed, what remains is enough to raze dozens of cities like Yunzhou to the ground.

One person attains enlightenment.

Ten thousand people were buried alive with the dead.

Ah.

This deal.

It's not a bad deal at all.

Gu Beihan gave a cold laugh.

"That's it."

"You dare to call yourself a holy maiden of the holy land? Even witches have more conscience than you."

Ji Lanxue, however, didn't care at all.

He nodded slightly and said calmly.

"Say what you will."

"The time is almost up. The formation is almost completely completed."

She slowly raised her hands.

suddenly.

As if he had thought of something, he glanced at Su Qing from afar and gave a sly smile.

"I know what you want to do."

"The restriction left on me will not disappear. As soon as this barrier disappears, you will activate the restriction immediately."

"However, when that power truly arrives, do you think the restrictions you've cast will still have any effect on me?"

The boy calmly nodded his chin.

"Who knows."

"Or, why don't you open the barrier now and let me try it out first?"

Ji Lanxue: "..."

Ah.

Even in this situation, he can still maintain such composure.

Does he really have a trump card up his sleeve, or is he just bluffing?

That's it.

Whichever it is.

Anyway.

Ji Lanxue no longer intended to take his life.

This little guy is so interesting, I should keep him with me forever!

She smiled slightly.

The formation above Yunzhou was rapidly being drawn.

at last.

The formation is now complete!

Ji Lanxue suddenly looked up.

A dazzling golden light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Holy Maiden of Taiqing.

It was like an unparalleled coronation, so grand that no one could bear to look at it for more than a second.

Even Gu Beihan couldn't help but slightly avert his gaze.

Inside that beam of light.

It contains extremely powerful energy!

If left unchecked, something bad is very likely to happen.

Her Highness bit her lip.

Watching.

The sword has already been thrust out.

Whatever this saintess wants to do, we must stop her!

The chilling sword light, like the moonlight in the dark night, condensed into a single line and was unleashed.

Oh?

Ji Lanxue also noticed this sword strike.

Suddenly.

A hint of surprise appeared on his face.

The Holy Land naturally conducted extensive investigations and intelligence gathering on such an important place as the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect.

Except for that Daoist Lord.

The focus was mostly on this Holy Maiden—although she still didn't understand why a goddess of the dignified Cloud Sea Immortal Sect would voluntarily follow Su Qing as a guard.

Well.

wrong.

Considering the losses I suffered at the hands of this brat before, the more likely explanation is that this brat has gotten hold of something against me!

hiss.

Is that really how it is?

It seems so.

Her Highness the Holy Maiden has developed a bit of interest in this Gu Beihan.

But more importantly: the intelligence report made no mention whatsoever that this goddess of the immortal sect could actually use swordsmanship!

Moreover, such power clearly indicates that it has reached a state of perfection.

He didn't become a professional halfway through his career.

But the Holy Land's intelligence is almost never wrong, so where exactly did the problem go wrong?

Or.

Did she begin learning from the moment this goddess left the immortal sect?

hiss.

If that's really the case, then this talent is rather terrifying.

If given more time, she might actually be able to threaten my plans.

It's just a pity——

She now.

That's impossible.

"what?"

Gu Beihan suddenly opened his cold eyes wide.

An expression of disbelief crossed his eyes.

How can it be! ?

His all-out attack failed to shake the pillar of light in the slightest.

Not even a crack could be seen.

how come.

She had already investigated the strength of this Holy Maiden, and it was not much higher than her own.

Is the difference really that big?

"Do not be discouraged."

suddenly.
