"This is impossible!!"

Seeing her killing move easily countered by Qinghe, Yu Lingying's face turned deathly pale.

Looking at Qinghe slowly approaching him, he asked in disbelief.

"Only the sect leader can activate the sect's protective formation, which is common knowledge in the Jade Spirit Palace, but this is ineffective against me."

"Because this is my trump card."

The Jade Spirit Palace's protective array is incredibly powerful, ranking among the top three in the entire Imperial Land, because this array was created by the two emperors.

However, Qinghe had already perfectly inherited the legacy of the two emperors, so this terrifying protective formation posed no threat to her.

With that, he waved his hands again, and after a loud bang, the great formation that sealed the gates of Jade Spirit Palace was opened.

“You sealed the mountain gate because you were afraid I would escape, and even more afraid that I had reinforcements outside.”

As Qinghe spoke, she took another step forward.

The moment Qinghe took a step, the fear on Yu Lingying's face vanished, replaced by a strange smile.

Just as she revealed a strange smile, an even stranger mist enveloped Qinghe.

"I told you, if I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time."

"You think you understand me? You think my trump card to kill you is the sect's protective formation? As the former Holy Maiden, you could freely enter and leave the secret realm. Of course, I know that the sect's protective formation cannot kill you."

"Because my real trump card for killing you is the illusion array that trapped you back then."

As she spoke, Yu Lingying laughed and stood up, landing in the air above the mist that enveloped Qinghe.

"Since you know that I have a foreign master behind me, yet you are still so arrogant, I must say, you are really foolish."

Yu Lingying is no longer the Yu Lingying of a thousand years ago; her cultivation is far stronger than it was a thousand years ago.

It was quite difficult to kill Qinghe using the illusion array back then, but now she has absolute confidence that she can kill Qinghe in the shortest amount of time.

boom!

Yu Lingying gripped her spirit sword, and a massive sword beam slashed down into the thick fog.

She could easily pinpoint Qinghe's location, but Qinghe, trapped in the illusion array, had no way of knowing her presence.

Qinghe's situation was precarious; she not only had to guard against Yu Lingying's attacks but also had to contend with the soul-shaking impact of the illusion array.

Seeing Qinghe forced back by her sword, Yu Lingying looked up and let out a hearty laugh of extreme joy.

Qinglan, this name has always been a heavy burden on her heart.

Even though she had been in charge of the Jade Spirit Palace for a thousand years, and even though she had personally witnessed Qinglan's self-destruction, the suffocating feeling of having a boulder pressing down on her heart had never disappeared.

Qinghe is right; she hasn't taken action because of her concerns.

They were wary of what tricks Qinghe might have up her sleeve, and whether she had any helpers outside the sect.

She was even more afraid that Qinghe might have some secret technique that connected her to the sealed secret realm, and all these factors combined made her hesitate to move forward.

But now, looking at Qinghe trapped inside the illusion array, the frustration in his heart vanished.

In the end, I have won. Today, I must annihilate Qinghe's soul and erase her from the world.

"Don't worry, even if you die, I will still keep the name of Saintess Qinglan, but the name Qinglan will no longer be the pride of Yuling Palace, because I will make you the biggest traitor in the history of Yuling Palace, a promiscuous woman who would do anything for profit and even kill her master."

"A shameless scoundrel despised and cursed by everyone, haha, it's all over."

"Die!"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Lingying unleashed the terrifying sword intent of the Jade Spirit Supreme Heaven, slashing swiftly down at the head of Qinghe, who was struggling within the illusion array.

A massive, terrifying sword intent cleaved down, distorting even the void beneath it.

This sword strike, this day, this scene—Yu Lingying had longed for this moment for far too long.

She fantasized countless times about killing Qinglan with her sword and tearing her nightmare to shreds with her own hands.

Looking at Qinghe, who was already shrouded in terrifying sword intent, Yu Lingying's eyes shone with extreme excitement and ecstasy.

I did it. I did it.

In just a moment, the sword intent will shatter his greatest nightmare, and Qinglan will cease to exist in this world.

You yourself are the real, biggest winner.

But at that moment, a discordant voice appeared in Yu Lingying's ears.

"I told you I'd only give you one chance, but it seems you don't appreciate it at all."

It was a young man's voice; Yu Lingying had never heard a man's voice before.

But the moment that voice appeared, Yu Lingying's expression changed drastically, and the excitement in her eyes was replaced by extreme fear.

Because at the very moment that voice appeared, a figure hidden in the void was violently yanked out and thrown to the ground.

And this figure hidden in the void is his greatest trump card, the adult from another race.

The moment the alien was pulled out of the void, Yu Lingying could hardly believe that what she was seeing was real.

A young man exuding a chilling murderous aura stood with one foot on the chest of the alien adult, speaking with extreme disgust and annoyance.

"I let you go last time because my princess said she would let you off the hook."

As he spoke, he stomped hard on the alien leader's chest, and a cracking sound of bones breaking accompanied a mouthful of blood gushing out of the alien leader's mouth.

"But didn't I also tell you that it was best not to let me see you again? If I do see you, you won't have another chance like last time."

As soon as the sound faded, another stomp landed, and the cracking sounds of bones breaking and blood spurting echoed once more.

Yu Lingying suspected that she must be hallucinating and that what she was seeing was not real.

She knew better than anyone how powerful the alien lord was, and no one had ever been able to escape the illusion array he had created alive.

It was this alien lord who had arrived not long ago that gave her the confidence to kill Qinglan.

But now, the alien lord, whom she regarded as a god, is being brutally abused.

The sound of bones breaking was like a toddler stomping on a fish bubble, the cracking sounds even carrying a certain rhythm.

Before each step is taken, there is a corresponding remark.

For example, when you last appeared, you were called Yun Sha, right? You were one of the four marshals of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty, a commoner marshal, right? Then can you tell me what your name is now and what your position is?

Last time I didn't quite understand why the princess asked me to spare your life, but now I understand. With you, this good-for-nothing, here, our operation will go extremely smoothly.

Otherwise, if we get someone who isn't so incompetent, it'll be quite a struggle to fight them.

My princess is truly a master strategist!

Yu Lingying was stunned when she saw the suddenly appearing boy and the alien adult frantically breaking his bones on the ground.

Stunned, she didn't even notice that the terrifying sword intent she had unleashed had no response.

They also failed to notice that Qinghe was originally trapped in the illusion array.

He had already appeared behind her with a calm expression.
