"Yes, Ancestral Master!" Luo Li's sensual red lips puckered, and her arched eyebrows rose sharply. Holding her sword, she stood with an earthshattering aura.
At this moment, her heart was brimming with killing intent. Her petite frame seemed like a heaven-shakingly sharp sword, standing straight and tall, releasing an endless killing intent. Although her face was cold, Luo Li was extremely excited inside! Her graceful body couldn't stop trembling slightly.
The Ancestral Master is a True God Realm cultivator, after all! In the nearly one hundred thousand years of the Cangnan Continent's history, no Supreme powerhouse of the True God Realm had ever appeared! It could be said that the Ancestral Master was an invincible existence! A single thought from him could make an Eternal Level Super Sect be reduced to ashes! With the Ancestral Master by her side, Luo Li was full of confidence. Even if she couldn't win, wasn't the Ancestral Master still there? In the eyes of the Ancestral Master, any cultivator was like an insignificant ant.
Moreover... she was no longer the young monk of the Gathering Qi Realm she once was. Now, Luo Li was also a grand cultivator at the tenth layer of the Origin Sea Realm!
Looking at this young girl, Luo Li, radiating such a vigorous spirit, Ye Yun couldn't help but nod inwardly, a soundless praise forming in his heart.
Luo Li's master certainly has good judgment.
This Luo Li is decisive and astute in her actions, possessing both a gentle nature and an unyielding spirit; truly a rare prodigy. In the future, the Dragon God Sect could definitely regain its glory under Luo Li's leadership.
As a Supreme being of the True God Realm, if Ye Yun were to act as Luo Li's Protector, then naturally no one in this world could harm her. Of course, Ye Yun didn't possess the heart of a saint. For Luo Li's growth, he would let her go, allowing her to grow through trials and tribulations. He didn't want her to become a flower coddled in a greenhouse.
Under their watchful eyes, a group of people appeared at the foot of the mountain where the Dragon God Sect ruins lay.
There were seven or eight men in total. Two were at the Mysterious Pill Realm, and five were at the Origin Sea Realm. There was also one young man at the Gathering Qi Realm.
"It's right here," that young man said, trembling as he pointed at the ruins ahead.
"Alright, you can get lost now." An Origin Sea Realm cultivator waved his hand impatiently and sent the Gathering Qi Realm young man flying with a slap. The young man landed heavily on a giant stone, coughed up blood, and died.
"HAHAHA..." Everyone laughed heartily, none of them caring in the slightest about the life or death of the Gathering Qi Realm youth. He was just a guide; killing him was of no consequence.
After their laughter subsided, they quickly flew towards the Dragon God Sect ruins at the mountain's summit.
"Eldest Senior Brother, only one fish slipped the net from the Dragon God Sect. That little girl is merely at the Gathering Qi Realm. Is it really worth so many of us coming to capture her?" a young man at the fourth layer of the Origin Sea Realm asked with a laugh.
"That sole surviving disciple of the Dragon God Sect is its final Sect Leader. If we capture her, the rewards we'll receive will be extremely generous..." The middle-aged man leading the group turned back, a greedy smile playing on his lips. Thinking about the massive rewards, he was unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Little Junior Brother, you just don't understand. Although that little girl from the Gathering Qi Realm doesn't have a high cultivation base, she's very alert and possesses an uncanny movement technique. All our previous attempts to capture her failed. This time, we absolutely cannot let her escape. Once we catch this big fish and hand her over, we'll receive rewards more bountiful than you can possibly imagine," the second-in-command, a younger man, said with a laugh.
"Let's hope the little brat doesn't escape this time!" the Little Junior Brother said with a shrug and a laugh.
The others also chuckled dryly and quickly ascended to the mountaintop.
When they reached the summit, they found two strangers standing opposite them.
One was a young man in white. His face was handsome as if carved from jade, his features distinct and sharp. His eyes were as deep as star-filled skies, and his every movement exuded an indescribable Immortal Aura. Strangely, however, they couldn't sense any cultivation base from him at all. This person seemed like an ordinary mortal, without the slightest hint of cultivation.
Beside the man stood an exquisitely beautiful woman in a goose-yellow Daoist Robe. Her skin was like snow, her features delicate and picturesque, her beauty unparalleled, and she exuded the potent Super Divine Dragon Breath of a tenth-layer Origin Sea Realm cultivator.
What astonishing Sword Intent! The Eldest Senior Brother glanced at the stunning woman, a horrified look involuntarily appearing in his eyes. He too was at the tenth layer of the Origin Sea Realm, yet before this beautiful woman, he felt immense pressure. It felt as if, in the next instant, her astonishing Sword Intent could slit his throat.
This Sword Cultivator is truly formidable! The Eldest Senior Brother felt a chill creep into his heart.
He clasped his fists together and asked with a face full of smiles, "Miss, might I ask if you've seen a little dark-skinned girl pass this way?"
A dark-skinned little girl? Luo Li grew annoyed. With a cold expression, she slowly unsheathed her sword.
Ye Yun, however, was smiling. These fools were truly blind. Luo Li was right in front of them, yet they didn't recognize her.
But it wasn't entirely surprising. After all, Luo Li had previously been dressed in ragged clothes, her face all dark, like a little piece of charcoal. How could that compare with her current, unparalleled elegance?
"Eldest Senior Brother, this woman is not to be trifled with! Perhaps she's the help that wretched girl from the Dragon God Sect called for!" the Second Senior Brother, his expression wary, leaned in and whispered.
"HEHE... is that so?" The Eldest Senior Brother's face suddenly turned cold and grim. He drew his sword and pointed it at Luo Li.
The Second Senior Brother's eyes glinted with greed as he chuckled in a low voice, "That Robe she's wearing looks quite fine; it seems to be an extraordinary treasure!"
Eldest Senior Brother's pupils contracted slightly, his gaze falling upon the goose-yellow Daoist Robe Luo Li wore. His eyes widened dramatically, and he gasped in astonishment, "It's an Emperor Level Robe!"
What? An Emperor Level Robe? Everyone was dumbstruck. They had rarely even seen King Level items, let alone Emperor Level ones. In an instant, everyone's eyes turned red with greed. If they killed this woman and obtained the Emperor Level Robe she wore, they would strike it rich beyond their wildest dreams!
Let's risk it! A ruthless glint appeared in the Eldest Senior Brother's gloomy eyes. As the saying goes, fortune is sought in danger. Should he obtain this Emperor Level Robe, he would acquire unimaginable resources and advance much further on his cultivation path.
Although there were two of them, the man was just an ordinary mortal, unworthy of concern. This stunningly beautiful woman at the tenth layer of the Origin Sea Realm was their true adversary!
He too was at the tenth layer of the Origin Sea Realm, and he had four Origin Sea Realm junior brothers to assist him. If they executed their Five Element Combination Attack swordsmanship, killing a tenth-layer Origin Sea Realm cultivator would be no problem at all.
The five men exchanged a look, then, holding their longswords, advanced towards Luo Li, surrounding her and Ye Yun.
Ye Yun stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a faint, indifferent smile on his face. These ants are far too weak. How could they possibly be Luo Li's match?
"Kill!" Luo Li cried, her sword slashing out.
At the same instant, the five men's combined attack Formation activated. Unending torrents of sword light poured down like quicksilver from five directions.
A single sword's cold light illuminated the Nine Provinces.
The sword in Luo Li's hand, like a Divine Dragon emerging into the world, met the five men's sword light.
CRASH!
The five swords shattered abruptly.
The razor-sharp Sword Qi pierced their bodies, shredding their hearts.
