Ye Lingxiao's body was quickly covered by a layer of crystal-clear crystal.

The next moment, without warning, he threw a punch—

"Bang!"

Countless sharp crystal shards transformed into a rain of projectiles, piercing through the heatwave and indiscriminately attacking everyone present!

The members of the Changsheng Sect were visibly shocked, completely unprepared for Ye Lingxiao's sudden betrayal. In their haste, they could only withdraw the energy that had been suppressing Li Yang and combine their combined energy to create a defensive barrier for self-preservation.

"Ye Lingxiao! Are you crazy?!" Xu Qun roared, pushing him away with both hands:

"Iron Barrier!"

A thick metal shield wall instantly materialized, blocking the way.

"Pfft!"

However, the blasted crystal shards pierced through the metal shield as easily as cutting paper, striking Xu Qun squarely.

"Ugh—"

Xu Qun's eyes were filled with disbelief as his body was pierced by the crystal, and blood gushed out.

"Crack!" The combined defense of the elders of the Longevity Sect behind them was also shattered by the crystal, and screams of agony rose and fell.

Li Yang suddenly sprang into action, dodging the attack with his incredibly fast movements, completely unharmed. Clearly, his earlier vulnerability was all an act.

Lu Fan quickly stepped in front of Li Yu, transforming into a giant tortoise shell once again to block the attack.

The Thunder Bureau members, who were secretly observing from a distance, were equally shocked. Fortunately, they were well hidden, otherwise they would have suffered the same fate under such a large-scale attack.

Everyone knows that Ye Lingxiao, the city lord of Ningcheng, is very strong, but no one expected that Ye Lingxiao's casual strike would be so powerful.

Although its attack range is limited, its destructive power is terrifying.

Xu Qun, suddenly struck by a severe blow, struggled to raise his hand and point at Ye Lingxiao:

"You...you're ruining your future!"

"Future prospects? In my eyes, Ye Lingxiao, there are only the interests of the Ye family!"

Ye Lingxiao glanced at Xu Qun with disdain. He had only cooperated temporarily for the sake of an uncertain future, and he didn't really take the Changsheng Sect seriously.

After scanning the room, his gaze finally settled on Li Yang, who had just pretended to be captured:

"There is only one fate for anyone who tries to take anything from the Ye family: death!"

After saying that, Ye Lingxiao raised his hands, and the burning Yang Stone in the sky suddenly went out and slowly fell down from the sky.

Having obtained the Yang Stone for so long and studied it repeatedly, Ye Lingxiao naturally found another way to control it.

As the Yang Stone slowly descended, the intense heat enveloped everyone within it.

In this perpetually rainy environment, this is the first time I've felt such scorching dryness, as if I could be evaporated at any moment.

Under Ye Lingxiao's control, the enormous Yang Stone gradually shrank and eventually fell into his hand, turning into a warm stone radiating heat.

Seeing this, the people of the Longevity Sect all looked greedily at the Yang Stone. Before, the Yang Stone was too big and too conspicuous to take away, but now it was different. If it were a Yang Stone of this size, who wouldn't want it?

A stone that can be large or small and can emit heat year-round is of immeasurable value!

Seeing Xu Qun, Li Yang, Lu Fan, and everyone else staring intently at the Yang Stone, Li Yu also looked curiously at the freely changing stone.

Ye Lingxiao gripped the shrunken Yang Stone tightly. As the crystal in his body transformed, the Yang Stone actually merged with Ye Lingxiao's body.

After the high temperature inside the Yang Stone rapidly flowed throughout his body, Ye Lingxiao's aura surged again, and an even more powerful energy pressure emanated from his body.

Li Yang's gaze was cold; Ye Lingxiao had clearly used the Yang Stone to temporarily gain even greater power.

Xu Qun's eyes lit up when he saw the enhancements and effects that the Yang Stone brought to the Awakened.

Making the outside temperature comfortable and using Yang Stone to nourish the body is also a way to increase lifespan.

"This is really a good thing..." Xu Qun stood up. Although the bleeding from his previous injury had stopped, the wound was still a bloody mess.

The members of the Changsheng Sect behind them also stood up. Even though they were covered in wounds, they seemed not to feel any pain.

Ye Lingxiao glanced indifferently at the greedy Xu Qun: "What? You also want something from my Ye family?"

Xu Qun didn't waste any words and directly ordered the Changsheng Sect members: "Attack! Seize the stone!"

"Yes!" The members of the Changsheng Sect stood together, ready to unleash their combined abilities.

Since it's something the Longevity Sect wants, we should just not take it from them.

Ye Lingxiao looked at the Yang Stone integrated into the crystal, raised his hand and clenched his fist, feeling the scorching power emanating from the Yang Stone, and smiled confidently:

"You bunch of old geezers, you think you're qualified to come to Ningcheng to steal things? That's hilarious!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Lingxiao threw another punch.

Numerous reddish crystal fragments, carrying intense flames, flew rapidly toward the people of the Changsheng Sect.

"Hold on, everyone. With me here, his attacks won't be able to harm us."

At Xu Qun's command, the members of the Changsheng Sect behind him immediately channeled their energy into him alone. Then Xu Qun shouted:

"Sonic vibration!"

Dozens of metal pillars flew down from the sky, piercing the ground in front of them and causing violent tremors, emitting sonic waves to attack and block the incoming crystals.

But an unexpected situation occurred. Even though everyone in the Changsheng Sect joined forces, they were unable to stop Ye Lingxiao's attack. The metal pillar was easily shattered by the crystal.

However, under the influence of the sonic vibrations, the crystals still deviated from their original trajectory, causing only minor scratches to the members of the Changsheng Sect.

Xu Qun smiled slightly and exerted his strength again. The sonic attack emitted by the metal not only did not stop, but surged towards Ye Lingxiao with even greater momentum:

"Die!"

Ye Lingxiao remained completely calm, letting the sonic attack come at him.
