Outside the round mountain.

Ye Fan and Xiao Bai dug a small tunnel at the bottom of the mountain and then placed the tNT explosives inside the tunnel.

Only in this way can the explosive power of the explosive be maximized.

After they finished planting the explosives, they crouched down and withdrew from the tunnel.

Ye Fan held the windproof lighter in his hand, looking at the mountainside with uncertain expressions.

Xiao Bai, standing to the side, asked with suspicion, "Boss, are you sure you want to detonate it?"

"The strategist controls the economic lifeline of the Dragon Emperor Palace. If she goes, it will have a huge impact on the Dragon Emperor Palace."

Ye Fan squinted and said, "She's already siding with outsiders, she deserves to die."

He gave Xiaobai a cold look: "What did you say when you called earlier?"

Xiao Bai said cautiously, "After Leng asked me where I was, she hung up the phone."

Ye Fan nodded slightly, without suspecting anything.

He then lit the fuse of tNt and quickly retreated with Xiaobai.

A few seconds later, BOOM—!

A deafening roar shook the surrounding area!

The rainforest suddenly trembled, and a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose, the air filled with the smell of sulfur.

Inside a large, enclosed chamber within the mountain.

With a snap, Qi Linglong's white ancient costume dress shattered and flew everywhere.

She advanced!

He has advanced from the late stage of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!

Upon hearing the sound, Wei Tianci looked over and saw Qi Linglong's jade-like body with skin as smooth as cream.

She was completely naked, with perfect curves, neither too fat nor too thin.

but.

Despite Qi Linglong's embarrassing state, she still didn't open her eyes or come to her senses.

She was still immersed in seclusion, striving to reach new heights.

Wei Tianci shook his head speechlessly, then found a suit in his spatial ring and draped it over her shoulders.

About half an hour later, Qi Linglong let out a muffled groan, having advanced again!

He advanced from the Great Perfection of Qi Refining to the Half-Step Foundation Establishment stage!

Qi Linglong opened her eyes in surprise!

From Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, this was a huge step forward, and only now could she be considered a proper cultivator!

He was on par with Ye Fan within the Dragon Emperor's Palace.

Qi Linglong then realized that she was actually wearing a men's suit.

She then recalled the details from before, her eyes filled with shyness.

Qi Linglong immediately stood up and walked quickly to Wei Tianci's side, looking like a devoted wife.

Wei Tianci activated his Heavenly Eye Immortal Pupil to its fullest extent, probing towards a location three hundred meters underground.

He had previously made an unwitting discovery: there was a strange box 300 meters underground, which appeared to be made of sandalwood.

To Wei Tianci's great surprise, his inner pupils malfunctioned on the box, making it impossible for him to see what was inside.

This discovery surprised Wei Tianci, but also piqued his interest even more.

Suddenly, boom—!

The earth shook violently!

A dense shower of pebbles fell from the sky, clattering and pattering as they hit the ground.

Wei Tianci's expression changed drastically, and he grabbed Qi Linglong and ran towards the exit under the starlight.

[Damn it, this place is about to collapse. It must be that bastard Ye Fan's doing.]

Qi Linglong absolutely cannot be harmed.

Wei Tianci himself has a special physique of copper skin and iron bones, so it doesn't matter to him.

But if Qi Linglong dies, then all his hard work these past few days will have been for nothing!

Thinking of this, Wei Tianci pushed the speed of his Lingbo Weibu technique to its limit, pulling Qi Linglong to break through the underground palace-like mountain.

However, he is fast.

The landslide occurred even faster.

Previously, it was just the sound of sand and gravel falling to the ground, a small noise.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into violent shaking.

A car-sized rock crashed down from the sky, landing with a loud bang right next to Wei Tianci and Qi Linglong.

Qi Linglong was moved by Wei Tianci's care for her after hearing his heartfelt words.

At the same time, she was furious at Ye Fan's ruthlessness, and her delicate body trembled with anger.

Suddenly, Wei Tianci shouted at her, "Be careful of Ye Fan after you get out!"

Qi Linglong was startled upon hearing this, and then she flew up like a cannonball, smashing towards the exit stone door.

It turned out that Wei Tianci, seeing that time was running out, kicked Qi Linglong hard in the butt.

With the immense force, Qi Linglong flew out like an arrow, crashing through the stone door and escaping to safety!

The force of the kick sent Wei Tianci staggering back into the secret room.

Just then, Boom!

The circular mountain has completely collapsed!

The secret chamber was filled in, and Wei Tianci disappeared.

Outside the circular mountain, the collapse of the mountain created a cloud of dust, resembling a super earthquake!

The birds and beasts in the rainforest fled in panic, as if the end of the world had arrived, and the entire rainforest was filled with a smoky atmosphere!

Having been kicked out by Wei Tianci, Qi Linglong, who had miraculously survived, lay on the ground, staring blankly back at the collapsed mountain!

"Wei Tianci—!"

Qi Linglong let out a desperate cry.

In an instant, she was overwhelmed with grief!

In that instant, Wei Tianci used his life to prove himself; he had done everything he could for Qi Linglong!

Qi Linglong muttered to herself.

'Whatever your reason for coming to me on this treasure hunt.'

Whether your feelings for me are feigned or genuine,

'But from this day forward, I, Qi Linglong, owe you, and I will owe you for all eternity.'

Qi Linglong got up from the ground, her eyes red as she looked at the completely collapsed mountain.

She rushed over immediately, hoping to find a way to rescue Wei Tianci or remove his body.

But suddenly, Ye Fan and Xiao Bai walked out from the side.

Ye Fan stood in front of Qi Linglong with a cold expression: "Strategist, I hope you understand that Wei Tianci is a thing of the past."

"And you, a wise bird should know when to rest and make the right choice."

"And my era, Ye Fan's era, is about to begin!"

He and Xiaobai stared intently at Qi Linglong.

They never expected Qi Linglong to be so lucky and survive such a situation.

Qi Linglong glared angrily at Ye Fan and drew her folding fan weapon.

"Ye Fan, make your move."

A resolute look appeared on her face, for Wei Tianci, and for herself!

Ye Fan sneered, "What can a mere late-stage Qi Refining cultivator like you do to me? You're overestimating yourself!"

Suddenly, a strong wind blew in.

A stunningly beautiful woman in a red dress and with white hair flew closer from afar.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Bai exclaimed with delight, "Boss, Leng Hou has come to help too!"

Qi Linglong looked up and saw an extremely cold and beautiful woman flying towards her, exuding a murderous aura.

Her heart sank. She really was the legendary Cold Empress!

She knew this person was unfathomable, knew she was ruthless in killing, and knew she had a connection with Ye Fan!

Qi Linglong's lips curled into a bitter smile.

One second she was in paradise, having discovered the man who truly loved her, and had advanced to a higher level of cultivation.

But the next second she was in hell, the man's fate unknown, and the enemy received powerful reinforcements.

Today is destined to be the day that Wei Tianci and I suffer defeat.

Qi Linglong stared blankly as Leng Ruolian landed from the sky.
