The Tianyun Sect is, after all, a major sect. No matter how ugly their appearance is, it cannot be denied that their martial arts are indeed slightly superior.

One of them tried to kill Lin Qingyu, but was blocked by a long sword.

Zhou Kui, with a face full of fierce features and an aura of menace, said: "If you want to touch the young master, you'll have to get past me first!"

Enraged, the man attacked Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui was immediately surrounded and attacked by several people, and for a moment he was unable to spare any attention.

The willow catkins hid in the shadows, silently watching all of this.

She quickly analyzed the situation.

The Tree Spirit is in the hands of the Tianyun Sect, and the two sides are currently locked in a fierce battle.

However, others discovered the Tree Spirit's secret and wanted to take it back.

What the master desires should not fall into the hands of others.

Now that you know what you shouldn't know, then go die!

While they were locked in a fierce battle, Liu Xu secretly slipped behind Lin Qingyu.

They wanted to kill him with a single blow!

However, Zhao Heng, who was not far away, noticed something and rescued Lin Qingyu immediately.

They saw that the other party was a woman, and her clothes were different from those of the Tianyun Sect.

Zhao Ze asked, "And who are you? Why did you ambush him?"

Liu Xu retorted sarcastically, "That's exactly who we're going to kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a handful of poison powder was thrown into the air, heading straight for Lin Qingyu and Zhao Ze.

Zhao Ze pulled Lin Qingyu back instinctively, but in the blink of an eye, he had already inhaled the poison powder into his mouth and nose, and into his lungs.

Then came excruciating pain, and in no time, the poison spread throughout the body.

The two lost their balance and fell to the ground.

The poison powder containing willow catkins was made by Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng is a vicious and treacherous person, so anything he makes must be extremely poisonous.

Lin Qingyu and Zhao Ze both coughed up a mouthful of foul-smelling blood.

Lin Qingyu forced herself to speak and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

Zhao Ze smiled and said, "Kid, I underestimated you. If you can get back alive, I will give you my heart in marriage!"

Lin Qingyu smiled brightly: "If I can get back alive, I will definitely live up to her expectations!"

Lin Qingyu's eyes were lifeless, and the towering flames reflected on his expressionless face.

Qinglan has not yet been found, and Xin'er has not married him.

More importantly, his ambition, which originated under the sacred tree, now seems to be ending under the sacred tree as well.

There were still many things he was unwilling to accept, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it anymore.

In a daze, he seemed to see Ning Yao's face.

She rescued the brother and sister and asked Lord Wen to take them in.

Tell him where his heart leads and just keep going.

He slowly closed his eyes. It was so noisy around him, except for the sound of weapons clashing.

He also heard other sounds.

"Lin Qingyu! Lin Qingyu! Don't die! Open your eyes! We've found Qinglan!"

"Miss Ning, please save him!"

"Ah! Let me go! Who are you?!"

All he heard was the scream of that arrogant woman from before.

He actually heard Hua Yan's voice, and he asked Miss Ning to save him?

Is Ning Yao here?

On his deathbed, he felt his mouth being pried open and something being stuffed into it.

A cool sensation flowed down my throat into my internal organs, and the pain from before was greatly relieved.

He moved his fingers and was surprised to find that he had strength again.

A sharp pain shot through my face.

"Lin Qingyu? Lin Qingyu? How are you?"

Hua Yan slapped him twice on the face, trying to bring him back to his senses quickly.

Ning Yao stopped him, saying, "Can you stop being so stupid? He was poisoned, and I just pulled him back from the brink of death!"

Hua Yan awkwardly withdrew her hand: "Aren't you a highly skilled doctor? I thought you could cure anything..."

Ning Yao couldn't take it anymore: "I'm too lazy to talk to you, just keep an eye on him!"

Meanwhile, Xiao Yuanhuai also fed Zhao Ze the antidote, and Zhao Ze's symptoms gradually subsided.

Ning Yao looked at the person Xiao Yang had grabbed and reached out to lift her chin.

"Liu Yingying's maid? You're here too?"

Liu Xu shivered instantly when touched by her icy fingertips.

She couldn't help but feel afraid. The master of Pinglan Tower was an elder of Tianyun Sect, and it would be as easy for him to crush an ant.

Now that I'm in her hands, what way can I possibly survive?

"Chen Jingrong colluded with Chen Sheng, so it seems your Liu family is too?"

"I never imagined that a mere Chen Sheng could possess such great abilities. Should I admire him?"

Suppressing her fear, Liu Xu asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I've crippled Chen Sheng; he's barely clinging to life. What do you think I should do?"

Liu Xu was shocked: "What have you done to the master? Don't hurt him!"

Ning Yao laughed out loud: "You are quite loyal. Chen Jingrong is just as loyal as you, but she was still completely betrayed by Chen Sheng."

"Tianyun Sect, Chen Sheng, you, and your entire Liu family—I will not let any of you go!"

"You destroyed the Netherworld Tree? Today you will all be sacrificed to the tree!"

Ning Yao's eyes held a storm within them, as if they were about to devour Liu Xu at any moment.

"Miss Ning... save the Divine Tree! They stole the Tree Spirit. Without the Tree Spirit, even if you were here, the Divine Tree would be beyond saving!"

The first thing Lin Qingyu did upon waking up was to tell the tree spirit about it.

Ning Yao felt a chill run down her spine and looked up at the fighting crowd.

The flames from the burning giant tree illuminated them clearly.

She flipped her palm, and a leaf appeared—the two rain-soaked leaves that had fallen from the little sacred tree earlier.

One piece was used in Licheng, and the remaining piece was tossed into the air by Ning Yao.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared, dark clouds gathered, and torrential rain poured down, catching everyone off guard.

Ning Yao used her spiritual power to shield Lin Qingyu, Hua Yan, and the others, preventing them from getting wet.

Immediately afterwards, she poured all her spiritual power into attacking Tianyun Sect and the others from all directions.

The passage of spiritual energy caused gusts of wind.

The wind and rain were so strong that everyone couldn't open their eyes.

Within a few breaths, all the people from the Tianyun Sect were bound.

Ning Yao directly crippled their meridians and martial arts.

The once-powerful figure of the Tianyun Sect was instantly rendered useless, lying on the ground screaming in agony.

Zhou Kui and the others stared in disbelief at the scene before them, momentarily forgetting to do anything.

Ning Yao's move left Lin Qingyu and the others stunned.

"She can also summon wind and rain?" Xiao Yuanhuai asked with a complicated expression.

Hua Yan and Lin Qingyu, on the other hand, saw the leaf that Ning Yao had thrown out.

Although the colors and shapes are different, you can still tell that they are leaves of the sacred tree.

On the other side, Zhao Heng and the others were also drenched to the bone by the sudden downpour.

Even Chen Sheng, who was lying there like a dead dog, looked up at the sky in disbelief.

Not only did the Kunlun Mountains experience a sudden downpour, but the sheer size of the area covered by this thunderstorm was astonishing.

Starting from Xuancheng in the north, passing through Songyang City and Nanjiang City, and ending at Lin'an City, it covers a total of four cities.

It covered an area even larger than the heavy rain that hit Licheng!

Of course, Ning Yao was unaware of all this at the time. At this moment, Ning Yao retrieved the tree spirit from the people of Tianyun Sect.

She held the tree spirit in her hands and stood beneath the sacred tree, nurturing it with her spiritual energy in an attempt to connect with the sacred tree.
