Just when Yan Qi was convinced that Mei Niang would behave as he had predicted...

"Master, could you please spare Jun Liuyue and Ouyang Chen, considering the great contributions Mei Niang has made?"

Mei Niang seemed to have suddenly made up her mind, "Although Jun Liuyue hindered Master, it didn't have any impact on Master! Without Jun Liuyue, it would have been impossible to gather the Divine Beast Jade so quickly, so..."

Mei Niang spoke expectantly, but before she could finish her sentence, she felt a heavy aura pressing down on her.

Yan Qi frowned, then suddenly bent down and grabbed Mei Niang by the neck.

His large hand grasped Mei Niang's delicate neck.

"Master, my master."

Mei Niang was forced to look Yan Qi in the eye, and the oppressive feeling built up in her heart, making her tremble with fear.

"You've fallen for that brat?"

"Master, Mei Niang doesn't have it."

Mei Niang denied it, saying, "I just... cough cough cough."

Yan Qi shook her off, "Get off."

"Yes, Master." Mei Niang dared not linger any longer, staggered to her feet, and fled the main hall.

"Heh, it seems this little girl knows how to use witchcraft! She's even won over my pet." Yan Qi sneered.

"It's a pity. If you hadn't opposed me, I might have spared your life. But you chose to oppose me. Since that's the case, I have no choice but to... turn you into a puppet."

Jun Liuyue is the most perfect body he has ever seen in all these years, both in terms of talent and cultivation. If he could refine her into a demon!

It will become one of his major weapons.

At that moment, the gate to Heavenly Island collapsed with a crash.

Of the twelve barriers, Jun Liuyue shattered eleven with a single sword strike, and kicked over the last barrier.

"Meiniang, you get the hell out here!"

Ouyang Chen shouted, "Coward! You dare to do it but not admit it! Get out here!"

Ouyang Chen was furious; how could he have felt sorry for Mei Niang?

Treat each other as close friends and have a heart-to-heart talk.

So—he's just a clown?

Ouyang Chen was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

"How dare you! How dare you!"

The one who spoke was the Ninth Elder. In a short period of time, he had already witnessed the barrier being broken twice!

This time, the gate to Heavenly Realm Island was kicked down by this brat!

etc!

Their eyes met, and the Ninth Elder felt an extremely familiar aura emanating from Jun Liuyue, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't recall seeing this little girl anywhere.

"Ninth Elder, it's been a long time," Liu Yue said with a smile. "Tell Yan Qi to come out here."

"Who...who are you?!"

Even the voice sounds so familiar.

The Ninth Elder was filled with terror when suddenly—a thought popped into his mind.

No, impossible!

The Ninth Elder dismissed the idea, saying, "Impossible! That brat has entered the temple; either she's vanished without a trace, or she's already ascended to the upper realm."

"I never expected the Ninth Elder to be so ruthless, not even sparing his own granddaughter. Tsk tsk tsk."

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

The Ninth Elder's expression changed drastically. How could Jun Liuyue know about this?

He suddenly looked at Bei Mo beside him.

Bei Mo was puzzled, but he kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

"It's you." The Ninth Elder turned to Jun Liuyue, forced to admit the truth: this little girl was actually the vixen who had impersonated his granddaughter!

But if she entered the temple, how could she possibly be here?

"You all don't know this yet, do you? The so-called Demon King is the one your Venerable One worships!"

Jun Liuyue said in a loud voice.

Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged bewildered glances, then immediately shouted, "Where did this wild girl come from? Has she lost her mind, spouting nonsense like this!"

"You don't believe me?" Jun Liuyue had anticipated their reaction long ago. With a tap of her toes, she summoned the Heaven-Asking Sword.

"Stop her!"

An elder blocked Jun Liuyue's path, but under the powerful aura, he was directly blasted away! Such a strong aura, even he, with his Spirit Venerable cultivation, felt the pressure.

Could it be a Xuan-rank?!

By the time everyone reacted, Jun Liuyue had already passed the elders, stepped onto the ruins, and her Heaven-Asking Sword drew sparks across the ground.

With one hand forming a hand seal, a barrier was set up, isolating all the elders outside.

"Such a powerful aura, what kind of monster is she?"

"Could it be a Xuan-rank cultivator? No, impossible! How could there be a Xuan-rank cultivator on our Canglan Continent?"

However, the aura emanating from Jun Liuyue was at the Xuan level!

Even their strength at the Spirit Venerable Realm was no match for her.

Liu Yue had no interest in the lives of these old men and went straight to the temple.

Clang! Just as she was about to strike with her sword, Yan Qi appeared.

Liu Yue leaped backward, standing in mid-air, where Taotie appeared behind her.

"You've been fighting with me for so long, and now you're finally qualified to face me head-on. Aren't you happy?" Yan Qi's tone was full of pride, as if meeting him was such an honor.

"Heh." Jun Liuyue chuckled: "Yes, you should feel honored to die by my hand."

At this moment, the elders broke through the seal and rushed over, only to be stunned by this incredibly arrogant statement.

Does this brat even know who she's dealing with? The supreme ruler of Tianjing Island!

How dare they be so arrogant and presumptuous! They won't even know how they died later.

But--

Yan Qi was not angry as expected. Instead, he laughed loudly, "Very good, as expected of a little girl who dares to be my opponent! However, you are not enough to make me take action personally."

Yan Qi raised his hand and made a hand seal. "Come out."

Rumble—! A streak of blue light flashed past everyone's eyes, and a giant blue dragon burst forth from the earth.

The dragon scales shimmered and glowed with divine light under the sun.

Azure Dragon —

The Azure Dragon coiled behind Yan Qi, obediently lowering its head beside Yan Qi's hand.

Yan Qi placed his hand on the Azure Dragon's head.

Qinglong raised his head and met Jun Liuyue's gaze. The moment their eyes met...

Jun Liuyue felt as if something had struck her heart.

The Azure Dragon suddenly charged towards Jun Liuyue.

"Asking the Heavens."

Jun Liuyue lightly touched the ground with her toes, summoned the Heaven-Asking Sword, and went to meet the attack.

The closer you get to what is reliable, the more pronounced that feeling of familiarity becomes.

Qinglong's eyes were full of reluctance, but she was not under her own control.

After a few moves, Jun Liuyue realized that Qinglong didn't seem to want to hurt her, but he had no choice but to attack her.
