Wangquan Qihuan’s expression darkened. “You’re courting death!”
He tried to block Wen Li, but Wangquan Sheng swallowed the blood in his throat and obstructed him with all his might. “Don’t go. I am your opponent.”
“...” She actually...!
Yuepo stared at Wen Li in a daze. Wasn’t Wangquan Gusui the array eye? She had actually found the real array eye. The eye of the array that even she, a Nascent Soul equivalent, could not see, had actually been found by a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection?!
How was that possible?
During the three seconds Wen Li shook the array eye, the seven people in the array—including Wangquan Gusui and Luo Yuntian—instantly regained their mobility.
“What are you standing there for? Save them!” Wen Li shouted at the many Foundation Establishment disciples who were frozen in shock.
They were also at the Foundation Establishment realm, so how could she be so incredibly powerful?
“Ah, oh!” Gong Xu led the Danfeng Valley disciples and immediately rushed toward Luo Yuntian.
The other disciples also rushed toward their respective elders to rescue them.
Zongzheng Huangyue seized the opportunity during the chaos and immediately flew toward the Moon Soul Arrow resting on the sarcophagus.
Wangquan Qihuan glared at the heavily injured Wangquan Sheng and took a step back. “I won’t kill you if you leave immediately.”
With Wangquan Sheng stalling him, it would be difficult for him to deal with those small fry. His grand plan absolutely could not fail!
Wangquan Sheng raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and let out a cold sneer. “I might have believed that before I stepped onto the path of cultivation.”
With that, he continued to pour out a bottle of pills and swallow them as if they cost nothing. “Come on, let’s continue!”
Tossing the bottle aside, he gripped his sword and continued his attack.
It wasn’t that he cared much for protecting others; it was simply that he could only stall for time for Wen Li.
This was the only time he had trusted someone so much. If he were wrong, he would drag her to her death even if it meant exhausting all his cultivation.
“Since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
Wangquan Qihuan’s attacks became increasingly ruthless. He could tell that although this person had the spiritual energy of an Early-Stage Nascent Soul, the energy fluctuations during their duel were too unstable, even showing traces of the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul. If this person wasn’t killed, he would definitely become a major threat in the future.
On Wen Li’s side, she focused her mind on the array on the ground, preparing to break through from the array eye. No, to be precise, it was a restriction; she hadn’t expected Wangquan Qihuan to actually understand such things.
The seven people in the array regained the strength to move because the array eye was being shaken, and the Foundation Establishment disciples immediately stepped forward to support and protect them as they left.
Helian Zhou, who was in the crowd, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Wen Li’s figure. Could it be that he had misidentified her? There should have been a youth by her side.
Luo Yuntian, who had always been calculating, now had to admit that Helian Zhou was deeper than he was. He looked at him. “What should we do?”
Helian Zhou looked at Wangquan Sheng, who was struggling against Wangquan Qihuan, and his gaze darkened. “We must help them. Wangquan Qihuan won’t let us go.”
The vessel Wangquan Qihuan had chosen for Wangquan Wuho was...
Helian Zhou and Luo Yuntian exchanged a look and simultaneously struck toward Wangquan Gusui in the center of the array with a silent understanding.
Boom!
“You!”
Wangquan Gusui, who had just regained control of his body, hadn’t even recovered from the grief of being abandoned by his father when he was caught off guard by their sneak attack. He was instantly sent flying by two full-power attacks, soaring right out of the array.
Splurt!
He crashed heavily against the wall and spat out a large mouthful of blood. But the two of them weren’t finished; they continued to fly toward him to take his life, and even ordered the other elders.
Luo Yuntian’s eyes were ruthless. “Elders, if Wangquan Gusui dies, there will be no suitable vessel for possession. Wangquan Qihuan’s plan will end in total failure!”
Hearing this, the other four reacted and quickly joined forces to strike at Wangquan Gusui.
“Father, save me!” Wangquan Gusui, who had just felt resentment toward Wangquan Qihuan for abandoning him, immediately called out for help at the top of his lungs.
But in the next second...
Whoosh!
A sharp, ear-piercing sound tore through the air.
The arrow point rode the wind, instantly igniting a plume of toxic blue flames that burned wherever the tail of the arrow passed. It carved a trail of spiritual energy through the air, shooting straight toward its target.
“Sui’er!!!” Wangquan Qihuan’s pupils shrank as his eyes nearly split with rage.
Wangquan Gusui looked down blankly. His heart had been pierced through by a long arrow. Blood gushed from the corners of his mouth. In a daze, he looked up and saw someone on the high platform beside the sarcophagus.
There stood Zongzheng Huangyue, holding the Moon Soul Arrow and pointing it directly at him. Her expression was as cold and imposing as a deity, yet she looked like a god of death.
“You...”
How could she have taken his Moon Soul Arrow? He refused to accept this!
The toxic blue flames from the Moon Soul Arrow began to spread from his heart, gradually consuming his entire body. He reached out toward his father, his expression filled with terror and sorrow.
“Father...”
Why? Why did you abandon me?
“Sui’er!!”
Wangquan Qihuan let out a cry of grief and fury. He struck a heavy palm toward Wangquan Sheng, knocking him against the wall, and immediately flew toward Wangquan Gusui.
But he was too late to touch his son’s raised hand. Three seconds later, Wangquan Gusui’s entire body was incinerated by the toxic blue flames, turning into a pile of ash that fell to the ground.
“Argh!!! Sui’er, my Sui’er!”
When Wangquan Qihuan rushed over, he could only kneel frantically on the ground and scoop up the pile of ashes. His pupils dilated as he let out an upward roar.
Zongzheng Huangyue narrowed her long, cold eyes. A hint of languid satisfaction lingered at the corner of her eyes after the kill. She slowly relaxed her grip on the Moon Soul Arrow. The feeling of power flooding her entire body was magnificent.
Unfortunately, the Moon Soul Arrow immediately broke free from her hand. Yuepo, the artifact soul, transformed into a woman and looked at her.
“Fine, I lent you my hand to kill Wangquan Gusui. This counts as eliminating the hidden threat of Wangquan Wuho’s possession for you all. Don’t even think about claiming me.” She had been imprisoned in the Moon Soul Arrow by Wangquan Wuho and had a restriction placed on her that prevented her from killing anyone with Wangquan blood. However, if someone else used her to do it, that was another matter.
She was being polite, mostly because Zongzheng Huangyue was more pleasing to her eyes than the others. Otherwise, she would have been mocking even the Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Wangquan Qihuan for being unworthy.
“Perhaps...” Zongzheng Huangyue pursed her lips and turned to look at her. “If you follow me, I can take you out of this tomb.”
“You?” Disdain flashed in Yuepo’s eyes. She thought a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection was simply daydreaming.
Wen Li was still observing the restriction. She saw what Zongzheng Huangyue had done. Not bad; the movements were clean, sharp, and beautiful.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t over yet.
“Argh!!! I want you all to die! Every single one of you will die here!”
Wangquan Qihuan wrapped his son’s ashes in spiritual energy and stored them in a storage bag. He roared at the sky, his hair crown exploding as his black hair instantly turned white. He began to attack everyone indiscriminately in a frenzied rage.
The first to suffer were the Foundation Establishment disciples and the six elders. Without Wangquan Sheng to pin him down, they could only resist with all their might.
In a corner, Wangquan Sheng clutched his chest, his pupils trembling. His body was covered in shocking, blood-red wounds. 【Master, I can’t stand against Wangquan Qihuan in this state of rage with the Nascent Soul power you gave me.】
The old man in the bone ring sighed. 【I have already given all my spiritual energy to you, so now we can only leave it to fate. It is also my fault for being too confident that you would surely obtain the Moon Soul Arrow.】
Wangquan Sheng’s heart sank. He could hear the weakness in the old man’s soul and knew he couldn’t blame him alone; he himself had been greedy for the Moon Soul Arrow.
Was this the end? No, it couldn’t be.
He hadn’t reached the final step yet!
Wangquan Sheng forced himself to stand, using his sword for support. Seeing Wangquan Qihuan kill more than half of the Foundation Establishment disciples and three Golden Core elders, leaving only Luo Yuntian, Helian Zhou, and Bai Jinshui, he immediately turned his gaze toward Wen Li.
She was still studying that damned restriction!
He had never been able to see through this person. Since she still dared to be so composed, she must have a trump card. He forced himself up and flew toward Wen Li; he was going to force her to act.
