The four figures were fighting, but the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in the sky continued to form fireballs that attacked Ji Jiuying and the others.

Gradually, Xin Yao was unable to withstand the attack. Hei Xiangling slapped Xin Yao hard on the back, and Xin Yao fell from the sky instantly. "I'll teach you to bully a girl!"

However, the loud noise she had predicted did not come. Instead, several powerful figures appeared in the void and caught Xin Yao. A powerful pressure followed, and the battle on the field stopped. Everyone was overwhelmed by the powerful pressure and could hardly breathe. They had no strength left to fight.

"Dad, who are those people? They're so strong!"

Shen Qingqiu narrowed his eyes, "These people are very likely not from this continent..."

"Not from this continent?"

Wen Chuyu frowned, which reminded him of their Wen family's ancestor. The ancestor had disappeared after breaking through to the Spirit Venerable realm. Had he gone to another continent? But why hadn't he returned?

"Yao'er".

"Uncle Jing, Uncle Yuan, what brings you here?" Xin Yao straightened up, feigning a wronged expression.

Before the middle-aged men could speak, Feng Luo, Feng Yan, and Hei Xiangling fixed their unfriendly gazes on them, causing the middle-aged men to furrow their brows slightly.

"Yao'er, were you bullied?"

Xin Yao lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at Hei Xiangling and the others, and shook her head, "No...no, Uncle Jing and Uncle Yuan, they didn't want to kill Yao'er."

Upon hearing this, several middle-aged men glared at Hei Xiangling and the others with hostility.

Hei Xiangling rolled her eyes. What the hell?

"Hey, you self-proclaimed fairy, can you at least show that murderous aura you were just displaying? What are you doing, talking like a hypocrite with your throat choked up?!"

"So it was you who bullied our Yao'er?"

One of the men narrowed his eyes and fiercely unleashed his oppressive aura upon Hei Xiangling, but Hei Xiangling merely frowned, scratched her temple with her left hand, and looked at the man as if he were an idiot.

The man was stunned when he saw that Hei Xiangling was unharmed. Could it be that this woman was stronger than them?

"General Jing, I advise you not to get involved in this matter."

Feng Luo said sternly.

Jingyuan's gaze fell on Feng Luo, who was also from the Tianyu Continent.

Who are you?

“We are from the Feng family of Sifang City. My name is Feng Luo, and this is my fourth brother, Feng Yan.”

"So it's Master Feng the Third or Master Feng the Fourth. I've heard so much about you."

"Hmph, I've heard so much about you, but I dare not accept such praise."

"But you people from the Nine Heavens Divine Palace are untrustworthy, daring to try to kill our Feng family members. We will not let you off easily." Feng Yan was not buying it, and stared at Xin Yao with unfriendly eyes as he spoke.

"Yao'er, what's going on?" Jingyuan asked, frowning.

"Hmph, we only saw the three of you trying to kill Yao'er. Our Yao'er is the future mistress of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace. Aren't you afraid of angering the Nine Heavens Divine Palace?" another man named Yuanhou said sternly.

"Hehe, since you want to protect her, then there's nothing more to say," Feng Luo said.

"You dare bully my girl? I don't care if you're the Queen Mother of the West, I'll beat you into a pig's head!" Hei Xiangling launched a fierce attack on Xin Yao, and the battle between the two was about to break out. Shen Qingqiu and the others, as well as the spiritual cultivators, all stopped fighting to watch this duel between powerful figures.

Bang!

A deafening sound rang out, and the aftershock of the power was enough to make a spirit general cough up blood. Everyone activated their defensive shields.

Ji Jiuying continuously regulated her own injuries, and the aftershocks of the power made her brows furrow slightly.

He opened his eyes with a whoosh, and looking at the sky filled with red lotus karmic fire and the people burned to death by the red lotus karmic fire, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Yan Ye, are you confident you can devour that Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame?"

“Master, no, it’s at the same level as me. It can only be tamed, not devoured.” Yan Ye shook his head and said. The Netherworld Ghost Fire in his body was not on the Divine Fire Ranking, which is why he was able to devour it and turn it into his own power.

"Then let's go stop it first."

"Yes, Master."

After saying that, the two flew towards the red lotus karmic fire in mid-air.

Zi Yu gritted her teeth and cursed Xin Yao countless times in her heart.

Then, there was a click.

Zi Yu's heart sank. Before she could react, the Purple Flower Shield shattered, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire rushed towards her. Zi Yu dodged, and Xiao Zi transformed into her true form to protect Qing Ling.

roar!

A scream rang out.

Qingling watched helplessly as the Red Lotus Karmic Fire slammed into Xiao Zi's body. "No, Xiao Zi."

The pain from the depths of his soul caused the Purple Lightning Leopard to collapse to the side.

Seeing this, Ji Jiuying ordered Yan Ye to extinguish the Red Lotus Karmic Flames on Xiao Zi's body. Then, she summoned the Crimson Fire Divine Phoenix Fan. After extinguishing the Red Lotus Karmic Flames, Yan Ye flashed behind Ji Jiuying and launched a fierce attack on the Red Lotus Karmic Flames.

However, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, now in its true form, was incredibly agile, managing to dodge Ji Jiuying's spiritual techniques each time, while fireballs continuously shot out from its body in all directions.

With a surge of resentment, Ji Jiuying used the Binding Immortal Rope on her wrist to trap the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Xin Yao was trapped by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and was distracted when Hei Xiangling slapped her in the mouth, causing blood to gush out.

"ah!"

"You bitch, how dare you slap me!"

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire was stopped, but the fireballs released earlier struck the ground as fast as lightning. Zi Yu's heart sank, and she used Concentration to create a barrier in her palm to block the fireballs.

puff!

The barrier shattered, and she collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

With a scream, Ji Jiuying turned around abruptly, "No."

He flashed to Qingling's side, his voice trembling as he cried out, "Yanye, come quick!"

Yan Ye came to Qing Ling's side and extinguished the red lotus fire on her face. The physical pain and the burning sensation in her soul caused her to fall into a coma.

Seeing the gruesome, bleeding wound on her cheek, Ji Jiuying quickly took out a pill from her spatial storage and fed it to Qingling. Her hands trembling, she hugged her tightly, saying, "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Ji Jiuying was now consumed by self-reproach. Why had she hesitated...? Why was she afraid? Why couldn't she have taken out the Immortal-Binding Rope sooner...?

Zi Yu wiped her mouth and went to Ji Jiuying's side. "Mistress, it's all my fault. I didn't protect her well. I..."

"Ziyu, it's not your fault, it's my fault..."

Ji Jiuying's eyes were bloodshot as she stared fiercely at Honglian Yehuo and Xin Yao. Qingling in her arms vanished instantly. Ji Jiuying charged towards Honglian Yehuo with endless killing intent, leaving Ziyu and Zidianbao completely bewildered.

Light and agile?

"You have hurt my people, and I will make you pay the price!" Ji Jiuying was filled with rage, and she summoned Netherworld Ghost Fire from her Crimson Phoenix Fan.

The eerie aura made the Red Lotus Karmic Fire tremble. It wanted to escape but couldn't move an inch. At the same time, Yan Ye released pressure on the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Xin Yao sensed something and tried to use her consciousness to pull the Red Lotus Karmic Fire back into her spiritual sea, but to no avail.

"If we can't devour it, then let's destroy it!"

Ji Jiuying's icy voice was like a demon coming to claim a life, sinister and terrifying, making one's heart tremble involuntarily.
