"Not good, Yiming, you stay here to confuse Baili Yuechan's people. I'm going out for a bit." Baili Jun'ao didn't have time to think and instantly disappeared from the room.
"Your Highness..." Hong Yiming tried to stop him, but Baili Jun'ao was nowhere to be seen.
Feng Haiju, Bei Minghaotian, Tian Haoze, Tian Nanxing, and Nangong Yuze surrounded Nangong Ziyan, continuously channeling spiritual energy into her.
Sima Jiaorong, Nangong Ruichen, and Nangong Jingqi stood guard to the side, anxiously looking up at them from time to time.
Suddenly, there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy around them. Bei Ming Haotian noticed it instantly, but this was a critical moment. They could not afford to be distracted, otherwise Yan'er would surely die. He hoped that the barrier he had set up would not be broken by the people coming to break it.
Sima Jiaorong quickly realized something was wrong. She hadn't taken action in years, but it seemed she had no choice but to act this time. She wouldn't let anyone hurt her precious daughter.
"Qi'er, Chen'er, you must be careful."
"Don't worry, Mother! We'll be careful..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
"Bang!" The door was suddenly smashed open, and a surge of spiritual energy at the initial stage of the Spirit God realm, accompanied by a powerful golden light, attacked.
Sima Jiaorong was forced to retreat repeatedly after being struck.
Just as they steadied themselves, more than twenty masked men in black rushed in.
"Kill them all for my national teacher."
At a command, the men in black quickly engaged the Nangong Ruichen brothers in combat.
When Wuguzi saw Sima Jiaorong, he was stunned. Who was this woman? What was her cultivation level...?
"Who are you?" Sima Jiaorong roared angrily.
"Hmph! The ones who will take your lives," Wuguzi said coldly.
"How dare you! You dare to lay a finger on my daughter."
Sima Jiaorong instantly enveloped Bei Ming Haotian and the others with a beam of purple light in her hand.
"Hmph! No one can stop my master today."
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of golden light shot up from the ground and struck the purple light barrier set up by Sima Jiaorong.
"Bang!" The two beams of light collided, producing a loud crashing sound.
Wuguzi's figure instantly closed in on Nangong Ziyan.
"Yan'er..."
Sima Jiaorong moved in front of Nangong Ziyan in an instant, but it was still a step too late.
Just as Wuguzi's hand was about to grab Nangong Ziyan, Beiming Haotian suddenly opened his eyes and quickly stopped Wuguzi.
Wu Gu Zi was startled and quickly took a few steps back, looking at Bei Ming Hao Tian in disbelief. He had actually managed to achieve the state of separation of body and spirit. It seemed that he had raised a tiger that had become a threat.
Bei Ming Haotian channeled his last bit of spiritual energy into Nangong Ziyan's body.
He leaped up instantly, his long arm lashing out at Wuguzi's throat, his eyes turning even redder with rage, wanting nothing more than to take Wuguzi's life.
Just as Bei Ming Haotian was leaving, Dongfang Yifei, who was already prepared, jumped in through the window with his face covered and took Nangong Ziyan away from the three people who had not yet finished transferring their spiritual energy.
"puff……."
"puff……."
"puff……."
The spiritual energy reversed, and Tian Haoze, Tian Nanxing, and Nangong Yuze were seriously injured by the reversed spiritual energy.
"Yan'er..."
Bei Ming Haotian roared in anger, but it was too late to stop them. He had fallen for their diversionary tactic.
"Yan'er..."
"Haotian, I'll hold them off. You go and save Yan'er." Nangong Ruichen ruthlessly killed several men in black and said to Beiming Haotian back to back.
"Okay! Be careful." With that, Bei Ming Haotian leaped up and disappeared from the room.
Sima Jiaorong was furious, a sinister smile creeping across her lips as she muttered incantations. In the blink of an eye, eight half-human, half-beast figures clad in silver armor stood beside Wuguzi.
"Summoning Demon Barrier, who are you?"
Wuguzi stared at Sima Jiaorong with a stern and sinister voice, his hands trembling slightly as the image of her lovely, smiling face flashed through his mind.
All the emotions, at this moment, surged into her eyes.
"You are not worthy to know who I am. Kill him."
At Sima Jiaorong's command, eight half-human, half-beast beings began to besiege Wuguzi.
Nangong Ruichen and Nangong Jingqi were thus able to catch their breath.
"Mother, you're so amazing, how come Qi'er never knew?"
Nangong Jingqi looked at her mother with admiration. Her mother was so discreet that they hadn't even noticed.
"Qi'er, it's not time for you to learn this yet. Your mother will teach you later. Stop talking nonsense now. Your father and the others are healing themselves. You can hold them off for now. The demonic beasts in this demonic barrier are indestructible and can deplete the enemy's strength and cultivation. I hope Tian'er can bring Yan'er back soon."
Sima Jiaorong looked out the window with concern, then immediately rejoined the battle with the masked men in black.
Inside the island lord's mansion, in a secret passage, Hua Nongying and his son Hua Yubo faced off. Hua Nongying, dressed in red, had a gloomy expression that did not detract from his beauty, though he did look somewhat serious. Behind him followed Qi Zheng and hundreds of subordinates.
"You unfilial son, are you trying to defy the heavens?"
Just as his plan was about to succeed, Hua Yubo was stopped by his son. He raised his arms and roared. Behind him, hundreds of his subordinates were all in a standby position, ready to attack at any time.
"Father, stop! Your plan will not succeed."
Hua Nongying said with great distress that he would not have done such a rebellious act if he had not been forced to.
Her fate was uncertain, and he wouldn't let her get hurt on his turf. She had saved his life, and he would never forget his kindness. For the sake of that kindness, and also for the sake of that long-held affection, he wanted her to enjoy everything here in peace and safety.
