"True Martial Saint Lord, please don't say such things again. These things are not what you wanted. I think if Dao Ancestor Li Er knew about this, he wouldn't want you to die. You are Dao Ancestor Li Er's disciple. When something happens, you only think about dying. Don't you think you are disgracing Dao Ancestor Li Er?" Lin Yun quickly transmitted his voice.

“My mind is made up, and you are all ready…” Zhenwu Saint Lord shook his head slightly.

In the time it took, he had already considered all the pros and cons of this matter. He was a powerful expert at the Saint King level. Once he made a decision, how could anyone easily persuade him?

Perhaps, his selfishness in the past led to these disastrous consequences...

Now, he can no longer be selfish. Otherwise, if Lin Yun is implicated, that would be fine, but if the Holy Mother is also implicated, even if he survives, he will not be able to face the Dao Ancestor!

Lin Yun and the Holy Mother must leave together. Only with Lin Yun's protection can he feel at ease about the Holy Mother's safety. He also trusts Lin Yun's character.

"Langya! Stop immediately! Otherwise, I will kill him right now!"

Just then, a sharp, scolding voice rang out from not far away.

"Um?"

Everyone looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

Suddenly, the Holy Mother had already seized Li Chu, and a golden longsword was held against Li Chu's neck. The golden longsword exuded a powerful aura, leaving no doubt that if the sword moved even slightly, it could decapitate Li Chu. At that time, Li Chu would be half-dead, if not dead.

If the Holy Mother had acted a little faster and attacked several times, she might have been able to kill Li Chu before the Saint of Langya and his group could stop her.

"Master, save me!" Li Chu cried out in terror.

"What a piece of trash!" The Sage of Langya cursed in a low voice with a gloomy expression.

Li Chu possesses power comparable to the fourth level of the Super Realm. The reason why the Holy Mother was able to suppress Li Chu before was entirely because of the God-Chasing Whip. Now that the God-Chasing Whip is in Lin Yun's hands, even if the sword in the Holy Mother's hand is not simple, Li Chu should not be so easily defeated by the Holy Mother.

In fact, the timing of the Holy Mother's move was just right. Previously, his spiritual power had been paying attention to that side. If the Holy Mother had made a move then, he could have stopped her while dealing with the True Martial Saint King.

However, just as he made up his mind to suppress Zhenwu Shengjun in one fell swoop, he naturally withdrew the energy he had been focusing on. But unexpectedly, the Holy Mother made her move, leaving him no time to defend himself.

Li Chu was the key figure in their plan to break through the thirty-fourth heaven, and he absolutely could not be harmed; otherwise, it would be difficult for them to find a suitable replacement.

Presumably, the Virgin Mary was aware of this, which is why she made such a threat.

"Um?"

The other nine sages frowned upon seeing this scene. They were unaware of Li Chu's importance to their plan to break through the thirty-fourth heaven, but they did know that Li Chu was a disciple of the Langya Sage.

Now, the Holy Mother is threatening Li Chu's life, which forces them to take it seriously.

"Kill him if you want. He's a piece of trash. He's useless if you keep him around!" The Sage of Langya said slowly, looking in the direction where the Holy Mother and Li Chu were.

"Master!" Upon hearing the words of the Sage of Langya, Li Chu was so frightened that he cried out in alarm.

The other nine saints breathed a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more things could go wrong. Now was the time to kill Lin Yun, Zhenwu Saint Lord, and the Holy Mother. If they let them go, it would truly be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

"Heh! Does the Sage of Langya really not care? Then I'll kill him!" the Holy Mother chuckled and said.

"laugh!"

As she spoke, the Holy Mother made her move, and with a flick of her golden sword, she severed Li Chu's head.

"No! I don't want to die! Master, please save me!"

Li Chu screamed in terror as his head fell off.

The power of the third level of the Super Realm is comparable to that of the fourth level of the Super Realm, which makes Li Chu's vitality extremely strong. Losing his head is not a major injury. However, the golden longsword in the hands of the Holy Mother is extraordinary. This sword strike has seriously injured Li Chu.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

After the first sword strike, the Holy Mother did not stop. With another swing of her golden sword, she struck Li Chu's body again, instantly shattering it into pieces. Li Chu was no longer able to speak, but could only emit extremely terrified mental fluctuations from every part of his body.

Even when he was in good health, he was no match for the Holy Mother. Now, torn to pieces, he was powerless to resist. After a few sword strikes from the Holy Mother, he was severely injured. If this continued, he would be killed by the Holy Mother in no time.

"stop!"

Finally, the Sage of Langya could not hold back any longer and shouted loudly.

Boom! Whoosh!

As he spoke, he swung the Langya Sword in his hand, unleashing a powerful attack on Zhenwu Saint Lord. Then, he used the momentum to retreat and disengage from the battle with Zhenwu Saint Lord.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The other nine saints also clearly received the telepathic message from the Langya Saint and retreated one after another.

Originally, Lin Yun could have gained the upper hand against these nine saints. However, as the formation of the Immortal Origin Realm was continuously destroyed, Lin Yun gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. Therefore, when the nine saints retreated, Lin Yun was unable to launch a further attack. Moreover, the situation seemed to have changed, and he no longer needed to fight to the death with them at this time.

“Holy Mother, you are the mother of the Dao Ancestor. I was once one of the seventy-two disciples of the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor has done me a great favor. If you release Li Chu now, I can let you leave safely!” The Sage of Langya looked at the Holy Mother not far away, took a deep breath and said.

He stopped attacking Zhenwu Saint Lord and ordered the other nine saints to stop attacking Lin Yun, not because he intended to release Zhenwu Saint Lord and Lin Yun, but because he could no longer provoke the Holy Mother.

Otherwise, if the Holy Mother continues her attack, Li Chu will die. Even if they manage to kill Zhenwu Saint Lord, Lin Yun, and the Holy Mother, it will be difficult for them to break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe.

Or, at that time, the plan might not be executed as he intended.

Using their planned methods, they will break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe. The powerful being below the level of a saint is crucial; their talent must be high, their realm should not be too high, but their strength cannot be too low.

Otherwise, even if they broke through the thirty-fourth heaven, the result would likely be different. Otherwise, he would have sought out Lin Yun to break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe earlier, and would have been more confident. Why would he have fallen out with True Martial Saint, Lin Yun, and the Holy Mother?

Therefore, if Li Chu can survive, then it's best if he doesn't die.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master, for saving your disciple..." Under the Holy Mother's care, Li Chu's body had recovered slightly. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Heh, do you think I'll believe you? Once you've killed True Martial Saint and Lin Yun, whether you kill me or torture me is just a matter of a word, isn't it?" The Holy Mother said with a cold laugh.

"Langya wouldn't dare. In fact, even without this incident, Langya wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the Holy Mother. The Dao Ancestor's great kindness is something Langya will never forget, so how could he dare..." The Holy Master Langya's expression turned serious as he spoke solemnly.

Human hearts are complex. As he said this, the Sage of Langya did indeed have this thought in his mind. He felt grateful to the Dao Ancestor, but also wary of him. After he learned the true identity of the Holy Mother, if he could, he really didn't want to deal with her.

Unfortunately, things have already progressed to this point, and he's in a bind.

However, this idea kept flashing through his mind.

Therefore, when he speaks with this expression, it's difficult to discern the credibility of his words for a moment.

It's no wonder people's hearts are fickle.

People have different mindsets depending on their environment and conditions.

Perhaps, what the Sage of Langya said at this moment was very sincere.

However, the next moment, after he killed Zhenwu Saint Lord and Lin Yun, the conditions changed drastically, and his mentality may also change immediately.

"You also know that the Dao Ancestor has done you a great favor? When you lured foreign enemies to attack the Immortal Origin Holy Land, did you ever think of this? True Martial Saint Lord is also your senior brother. When you poisoned him and attacked him, did you ever think of our friendship? How can anyone believe your words..." Unfortunately, the Holy Mother has lived on Earth for thousands of years. She has witnessed thousands of years of changes on Earth, countless dynastic changes, and all kinds of human affairs. Her mind is already clear. How could she believe the Langya Saint?

In terms of understanding human nature, the Holy Mother far surpasses the Sage of Langya. For thousands of years on Earth, her faith kept her constantly interacting with the human world. The Sage of Langya, on the other hand, has stood at the pinnacle of this universe for thousands of years without encountering any power struggles. For most of these thousands of years, he has been cultivating in the high heavens of the Immortal Origin Realm, which is only a few thousand days plus a few years.

Neither time nor experience can compare to hers.

"Enough with the nonsense! If you leave the Immortal Origin Realm now, I will release Li Chu immediately. If you don't leave, I will kill him right now!" Then, before the Saintess of Langya could say anything more, the Holy Mother shouted.

"You—" Upon hearing the Holy Mother's words, a murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Langya Saint. After a moment, he said in a sinister tone, "If we leave the Immortal Origin Realm, how can we break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe? It's impossible! Even without Li Chu, I can still find Ma Chu or Wang Chu to do this! But Holy Mother, you should think carefully: can you kill Li Chu before we kill you?"

Upon hearing Langya Saint's words, Lin Yun became wary. He and Zhenwu Saint exchanged a glance and immediately flew towards the location of the Holy Mother.

"kill!"

However, just as Lin Yun and Zhenwu Saint King set off, Langya Saint suddenly shouted.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As he spoke, he and the other nine saints rushed toward the Virgin Mary.

"Die!" A cold glint flashed in the Holy Mother's eyes as she whispered.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

With a wave of her hands, Li Chu's body instantly turned to dust, and his life force was continuously weakened by the power of the golden longsword in her hands. It was almost visible to the naked eye that Li Chu's "body" life force was rapidly declining.

"Everyone, prioritize dealing with the Holy Mother. Don't let a single one of them escape today!" the Sage of Langya shouted sternly.

He had only heard Dao Ancestor talk about the effects of the Netherworld Water, but he had never used it. Because the quantity was limited, he couldn't test it on other people. Moreover, since Dao Ancestor left with his other fellow disciples, he couldn't find another Saint-level expert in this universe to test it on.

Therefore, he dared not delay for too long.

If Zhenwu Shengjun's strength were to recover, the balance of power between the two sides might change.

To prevent any unforeseen complications, he thought it over and decided to launch another strong attack.

As for Li Chu, it was his luck that he survived. If he hadn't survived, he would have had to find someone else. But this matter could not be delayed any longer.

"yes!"

The nine saints who were walking forward responded.

"Lin Yun, take the Holy Mother and leave!"

Zhenwu Saint Lord shouted and transmitted his voice.

"boom!"

The next moment, Zhenwu Saint Lord suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Langya Saint and the other nine Saints. At the same time, a terrifying aura rose from his body.

At this moment, the aura and power that Zhenwu Saint Lord released far exceeded those he had displayed when he fought against Langya Saint.

Arriving first despite being late, Zhenwu Saint Lord blocked the path of Langya Saint and the other nine saints in an instant.

"What!"

"not good!"

The Sage of Langya and the other nine sages were about to charge towards the Holy Mother in one go when they suddenly saw the powerful True Martial Saint King flashing towards them, and they were all shocked.

Some sages even felt a pang of panic. Could it be that the True Martial Saint King's strength was beginning to recover?

If that's the case, it's probably very bad news. How could they possibly be a match for the True Martial Saint King, whose strength is so formidable?

"Don't panic, everyone. Zhenwu Saint Lord has only burned his life force. This state cannot last long. Let's deal with Zhenwu Saint Lord with all our might!" Langya Saint was the first to see the problem. He breathed a sigh of relief and said.

At this moment, he no longer cared about going to the Holy Mother's side to rescue Li Chu from her grasp.

"Master, save me..." Li Chu's panicked voice kept coming from the other side, but it was quickly silenced by the Holy Mother's sword.

"You don't even care about your disciple's life, Saint Langya, you are indeed extremely selfish..." The Holy Mother said with a grim face, her hand constantly slashing at Li Chu, but she could not make Saint Langya waver in the slightest.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The battle between Zhenwu Saint Lord, Langya Saint, and nine other saints unfolded instantly, and earth-shattering changes occurred once again in the thirty-third heaven of the Immortal Origin Realm.

"puff!"

Perhaps unaccustomed to such a powerful attack, the moment the two clashed, Zhenwu Shengjun spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning completely red. But just a moment later, the intensity of his attack increased to another level.

On the other side, the nine saints of Huoshiyun's eyes lit up when they saw this scene.

They were afraid that Zhenwu Saint Lord's strength had recovered. Now it seems that what Langya Saint said was true. Zhenwu Saint Lord's current strength is just a result of burning his life force to hold on. If the fight continues, they will definitely win.

"True Martial Saint King!"

Lin Yun had just flashed to the vicinity of the Holy Mother when he saw this scene. He was both shocked and furious, and shouted loudly.

call!

His body flashed, and he rushed towards Zhenwu Shengjun and his group.

"Don't come any closer! Quickly take the Holy Mother away!"

However, as soon as Lin Yun moved, he received a furious shout from the True Martial Saint Lord.

He can't hold on much longer in his current state. If Lin Yun doesn't take the Holy Mother away, he might not be able to leave when he can't hold on any longer. All he's doing now is wasting his life force to increase his strength.

"True Martial Saint Lord..."

Lin Yun said emotionally.

How could he let others cover their retreat while he led his men to escape?

Ultimately, Lin Yun was too young, and had never done anything like this before.

Given his personality, this is something he would find very difficult to do.

He would rather die in battle together.

"Run! What will happen to the living beings on Earth if you die? What will happen to the people around you? Do you really think that the Sage of Langya will let them go? Do you think those sages will let them go?" Zhenwu Saint Lord roared and transmitted his voice.

Throughout his life, True Martial Saint King rarely regretted anything, but at this moment, he truly regretted it. He regretted not killing the other nine saints earlier, otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

"True Martial Saint Lord..."

Lin Yun was about to continue transmitting his voice when he was interrupted again by Zhenwu Saint Lord.

"Do you think I saved you? I saved the Holy Mother! The Dao Ancestor has done me a great favor, and I cannot let anything happen to the Holy Mother! If you have even a shred of gratitude for me saving your life earlier, then take the Holy Mother away immediately. That would be the greatest way to repay me! Otherwise, even if I die, I will not rest in peace!" Zhenwu Saint Lord roared.

At this moment, Lin Yun's resolve finally wavered.

However, he had already reached the edge of the battlefield.

"Hehe, very good, Lin Yun, you didn't make me look down on you..." Just then, the Langya Saint, who was fighting with the True Martial Saint, looked up at Lin Yun, sneered, and said.

As he spoke, the Holy Lord of Langya breathed a slight sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was genuinely afraid that Lin Yun would leave with the Holy Mother.

With the powerful obstruction of the True Martial Saint King, they might not have a chance to stop it.

Compared to the departure of the Holy Mother, he was more afraid of Lin Yun leaving. The Holy Mother was a divine being with limited divine aptitude. Even if the Holy Mother were to cultivate, she might not be able to reach a very high level.

Once they successfully break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, his strength will increase significantly again. At that time, he estimates that reaching the Saint King realm will be a piece of cake.

With the addition of other saints who have enhanced their strength, he is confident that he can find the Holy Mother no matter where she escapes to in this universe.

Conversely, Lin Yun was very wary of the other party's talent and strength. He worried that if they wasted too much time breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, Lin Yun would grow stronger.

At that time, whether Lin Yun sought revenge on them was one thing, but if Lin Yun broke through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe ahead of time, then everything would be over. Their time in this universe afterwards would probably be filled with fear and uncertainty, as they could be found and killed by Lin Yun at any moment.

Fortunately, Lin Yun did not leave.

Ultimately, they're too young; they can't see things clearly.

The Sage of Langya sneered inwardly.

"boom!"

Fearing that Lin Yun might leave at any moment, the Sage of Langya seized an opportunity, his body flashing to Lin Yun's vicinity, and launched a powerful attack towards Lin Yun, intending to use some attacks to entangle Lin Yun.
