Hua Qianqian's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly shouted, "Myriad Flowers Formation!"

The two elders, Hua Dongmei and Hua Rui, immediately assumed their stances, while two other elders used their movement techniques to circle around to Lan Hua's back.

Then, more than a hundred disciples moved in unison, wielding their longswords to surround Lan Hua and Zi Yue.

"A myriad of flowers are in full bloom!"

As everyone brandished their longswords, the surrounding flowers suddenly flew up and hovered above the heads of the Linghua Valley disciples.

A seven-colored barrier appeared, enveloping Lan Hua and Zi Yue.

Each flower was spinning in mid-air, with a layer of terrifying elemental energy flowing across the surface of its petals, giving each petal an astonishing destructive power.

Baxia, perched on Lan Hua's shoulder, drooped its head and snorted, "That's it?"

Lan Hua did not make a move, but simply watched quietly as the people from Linghua Valley set up their formation.

After the grand formation was set up, Lan Hua was surrounded by layers upon layers of people from Linghua Valley.

Yuan energy surged all around, creating a chilling atmosphere.

Hua Qianqian pointed her longsword, and countless flowers immediately emitted a dazzling light, slowly pressing down on Lan Hua.

"Young Master Lan, even a peak Dan Shen realm expert cannot break the Myriad Flowers Formation of my Linghua Valley."

Are you still determined to take it by force?

Lan Hua scoffed, "If the Killing Realm hadn't appeared back then, and all seven of you elders had come out together, you might have actually been able to stop a peak Dan Shen Realm expert."

But now, I'm afraid not!

After speaking, Lan Hua slowly raised her right hand, black and white Yuan energy appearing on the edge of her palm, and her whole body exuded an astonishing aura.

"Break the river!"

Lan Hua struck down with a palm, unleashing a terrifying blade aura tens of feet long.

The blade's aura pierced the air, captivating the mind and spirit.

This strike seemed capable of severing giant peaks and cutting off great rivers.

The terrifying power caused countless ripples to spread across the Myriad Flowers Array, and the longswords in everyone's hands trembled violently.

Hua Qianqian was horrified and immediately swung her longsword down.

The myriad flowers rapidly gathered together, merging with the astonishing Yuan Power of the crowd to form a giant sword of myriad flowers, which slashed towards Lan Hua's blade energy.

Lan Hua remained unfazed and did not increase the force of her attack.

The Myriad Flowers Giant Sword was completely shattered by the Heaven-Opening Palm's blade aura after only a few breaths of stalemate.

The terrifying blade energy then struck the barrier of the Myriad Flowers Array.

A loud bang.

The barrier shattered, and the disciples of Hundred Flowers Valley were blasted away by a terrifying gust of air.

The current of air contained not only the power of myriad flowers, but also the aura of sword energy, which immediately cut the skin of many disciples.

The scene was filled with wails and cries.

Hua Qianqian and the four elders were unable to withstand this powerful force and were forced back several feet, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of their mouths, indicating that they had suffered serious internal injuries.

If Lan Hua hadn't needed Linghua Valley's help and hadn't held back, many disciples would have been seriously injured.

Looking at Lan Hua's composed expression, Hua Qianqian was shocked, "You've entered the Refining Spirit Realm?"

“That’s right, no one in the Xuanhuang Continent can stop me. I advise the Valley Master to lend me Kong Menglan!” Lan Hua said solemnly.

Hua Qianqian looked disappointed.

Once upon a time, this young man in front of me was not even at the Danxia Realm.

Now, this young man's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has actually reached the Refining Spirit Realm.

This is a height they can never reach in their entire lives.

"As long as people live, the flowers will live; when people die, the flowers will die!" Hua Qianqian said in a deep voice.

"As long as the person lives, the flowers will live; when the person dies, the flowers will die!" the disciples shouted.

Lan Hua was exasperated; this woman truly had a strong sense of pride.

He glanced at Zi Yue, who remained silent, clearly indicating that everything was up to Lan Hua to decide.

"Since that's the case, then I'll bear the consequences of this killing!"

After speaking, Lan Hua summoned the Yueque Bow and unleashed the eighth form of the Invisible Arrow, the Eight Directions of Wind and Rain.

Once the arrow was released, it instantly split into hundreds of arrows.

The arrows rained down in several waves, heading straight for the people of Linghua Valley.

"stop!"

A voice came from the depths of Spirit Flower Valley, loud and clear, full of energy.

With a thought, Lan Hua controlled the hundred arrows with her mental power, causing them to suddenly change direction and shoot into the flower bushes in the distance.

boom...

Withered flowers and fallen willows filled the sky, almost obscuring the entire Spirit Flower Valley.

This was a strike from a Refining God Realm expert, and even Lan Hua herself was slightly startled.

Lan Hua exclaimed, "Oh, so Spirit Flower Valley has a Pill God Realm expert in charge!"

He could sense that this expert at the Pill God Realm had entered the later stage and was very likely at his peak.

Given the scarcity of Dan Shen realm experts in the Xuan Yu Realm, this is undoubtedly a terrifying combat force.

Hua Qianqian's expression changed drastically. She bowed towards the depths of Spirit Flower Valley and said loudly, "This disciple is incompetent and has disturbed my master's meditation!"

"It's alright. At this critical juncture for the survival of our sect, I cannot stand idly by!"

"Qianqian, I'll give the Kongmeng Orchid to this young hero!"

Hua Qianqian, her whole body trembling with power, pleaded, "Uncle-Master, this Kongmeng Orchid is a treasure of our sect!"

If we send it away, we'll be sinners against our sect!

"If our sect perishes, then we are the true sinners. Do as I say!"

He then changed the subject, "However, I would like to ask Young Hero Lan to grant me three requests!"

Lan Hua narrowed her eyes, thinking to herself that it was indeed not that simple.

"Please speak frankly, senior!"

The sound came again from the depths of Spirit Flower Valley.

"The first condition is that there is a sect in the Southern Region called Nightmare Tower, which is not far from my Spirit Flower Valley."

This Nightmare Tower is incredibly insidious, skilled in poisons, and wreaks havoc in the Southern Region. It is the mortal enemy of my Spirit Flower Valley. I implore Young Hero Lan to help us eliminate it!

"Nightmare Tower?"

Lan Hua asked curiously, "I've heard of this sect. It's extremely mysterious in the Xuanhuang Continent. I agree to this condition!"

"Very good. As for the second one, the Heavenly Origin Fruit you mentioned earlier, our sect will take it all!"

Lan Hua nodded slightly, "No problem, you can have them all!"

Upon hearing this, Baxia hurriedly spoke up, "Brother Hua, I haven't even gotten a bite of that stuff yet, and you're just giving it all away like this?"

Lan Hua smiled and said, "Brother Ba, I'll get you some even better ones than Tianyuan Fruit in the future, okay?"

Besides, I still have some good stuff from the Spirit Clan, you can have it all!

"Alright!" Baxia reluctantly agreed.

Upon seeing this, Zi Yue smiled faintly on her pale face.

"The third condition is that if Linghua Valley faces any crisis in the future, I would appreciate your help, young hero!"

Lan Hua frowned, thinking to herself, "This is your real plan, you old hag, isn't it? You want to tie me to Linghua Valley."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yue shook her head slightly.

Lan Hua snorted, "It's not that I can't take action, but there has to be a limit."

You can't keep me tied up in Spirit Flower Valley forever!

"Then make five moves!" came the aged voice.

Lan Hua shook her head. That was really asking for too much! She snorted, "Three times at most!"

There was a moment of silence deep within Linghua Valley.

"Three times is fine, young hero, please keep your promise!"

Lan Hua said loudly, "Don't worry, I always keep my promises. You can go out and ask around!"

"Very good. Once you've taken over Nightmare Tower, you can come and retrieve Kong Menglan!"

Lan Hua nodded slightly, "I'll be right back. Please send a witness from your sect!"

Hua Qianqian glanced at Hua Rui, who then loudly proclaimed, "I'll go!"

"Please lead the way!" Lan Hua said with a smile.
