"Little fox! Go back now!" Long Qianling roared, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Bai Qingnian's appearance attracted everyone's attention. Leng Qing also looked at the man who had suddenly appeared on the ground, her brows furrowed.
Bai Qingnian ignored her words and flew up directly.
Seeing this, Long Qianling directly unleashed a burst of life force towards Leng Qing's face. Leng Qing had no choice but to dodge to the side, creating distance between them.
Just then, Bai Qingnian flew to Long Qianling's side.
"Great Black Dragon, I broke the seal so that I could fight alongside you! I will not leave! They came for me, and I cannot hide behind you forever! What I want is to stand by your side!" As soon as Bai Qingnian finished speaking, he gripped the Li Shui Sword tightly in his hand.
“Little fox, I will protect you, so you can always hide behind me.” Long Qianling reached out and took his hand that wasn’t holding the sword, her voice full of certainty.
Bai Qingnian shook his head upon hearing this, "Big Black Dragon, that's not what I want!"
"I said I would always be by your side, whether in battle or anything else, I would be by your side, not behind you!"
“Little fox…” Long Qianling pursed his lips, hesitating to speak.
"Great Black Dragon..." Bai Qingnian's voice carried a hint of pleading, and his beautiful blue eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at her.
Ling Chuan flew down to Leng Qing's side, and the other gods immediately appeared behind them because of Bai Qingnian's arrival.
"Let's do it!"
As he spoke, Leng Qing raised his hands and formed a hand seal, instantly turning the surrounding air cold and biting.
Long Qianling shielded Bai Qingnian behind her, her body radiating a blue light—a symbol of her immense power. Bai Qingnian, however, broke free of his grasp and stood beside him, saying, "Great Black Dragon, let's go together!"
A pure and powerful force erupted from Bai Qingnian's body.
"Little fox, wait!" Long Qianling tried to stop him, but it was too late.
The aura emanating from Bai Qingnian had already been sensed by the people opposite him, and even Yun Li on the ground was staring blankly at Bai Qingnian.
That pure power... is it the exquisite heart?!
But isn't Linglong Heart with Ming Yuyin?
Yun Li looked at Ming Yuyin, who had been helped up again by the woman in white. At this moment, Ming Yuyin had woken up, but her face was still extremely pale.
If Long Qianling hadn't used his divine power to protect her heart meridian just now, she probably would have really died.
Seeing Yun Li looking over, she understood what he was wondering about.
Bai Qingnian had already been exposed, so she no longer hid it from Yun Li. She shook him, opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Ke Yunli understood her lip movements and said—it wasn't her!
Linglong's heart wasn't with her at all! It was with that man!
So he's been protecting the wrong person all these days!?
Leng Qing and the others also looked at Bai Qingnian with a dangerous gaze.
Linglong's heart is with him?! But why is the guidance of the magic mirror directed at that woman?
"Leng Qing, what do we do now?" Ling Chuan asked.
"Our goal is to obtain the Exquisite Heart."
"Understood."
The way the group looked at Bai Qingnian was filled with determination.
Bai Qingnian felt the menacing gazes of the crowd, but showed no fear. Instead, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Do you think my heart is so easily won?"
He exuded a cold aura, and his blue eyes were filled with killing intent; he looked exactly like Long Qianling.
“Heh…” Long Qianling stood aside, his murderous aura growing even stronger.
Lingchuan snorted coldly, "Then we'll wait and see!" After saying that, he took the initiative and a beam of white light shot towards Bai Qingnian.
Bai Qingnian raised his sword and swung it, directly cleaving away the white light she was shooting at.
Lingchuan was stunned; he had actually deflected his attack!
How could this be? She is a goddess! And he is just a mere fox demon!
Long Qianling raised her hand and placed it on Bai Qingnian's shoulder. Bai Qingnian turned to look at her and saw her nod at him. Immediately afterward, a powerful force flowed from her hand into his shoulder, and then into his limbs and bones.
"Great Black Dragon, is this... your divine power?!"
“They are gods, and you need divine power to have any chance of fighting them!” Long Qianling explained.
Bai Qingnian nodded and turned his gaze back to those people. "I understand."
Long Qianling slowly withdrew his hand and looked at those people as well.
Lingchuan immediately revealed her natal magic weapon, a crystal-clear jade fan. She opened it with a whoosh, waving the fan to create a gust of wind that rushed straight towards Long Qianling and the other person.
Long Qianling raised his hand and waved, and a gust of wind swept towards Lingchuan and his group.
Instantly, the hems of the clothes of the people in mid-air fluttered wildly in the wind.
The two gusts of wind collided in mid-air, producing a loud bang.
Long Qianling and Bai Qingnian exchanged a glance, their minds in perfect unison, and their bodies shot out like arrows released from a bow.
Golden and blue light cleaved through the wind, and two figures swiftly passed through, heading straight for Lingchuan and the others.
They weren't stupid either, and soon they all used their magic to defend themselves.
Lingchuan waved his jade fan, and several ice shards shot out like arrows toward Long Qianling and Bai Qingnian. Bai Qingnian flashed and transformed into a giant fox, raising his tail to block all the ice shards.
At the same time, Long Qianling raised her hands and quickly formed a hand seal. A magic array composed of cyan and gold colors unfolded from beneath her feet and swept towards Lingchuan and the others.
Lingchuan was shocked and exclaimed, "Oh no!"
She yelled and tried to dodge, but it was too late. They were all surrounded by Long Qianling's magic array.
"Be careful," Leng Qing reminded him with a cold, expressionless face. The people behind him nodded in understanding.
This magic array is not a killing array, but rather one that Long Qianling set up to trap them and prevent them from escaping.
Since we're already here, let's stay and let her practice her teamwork with the little fox!
"Little fox master, are you ready?" Long Qianling turned his head to look at Bai Qingnian, his voice incredibly gentle.
Bai Qingnian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly at her: "My dear disciple, your master is ready!"
Great Black Dragon, I finally... no longer have to hide behind you!
Long Qianling returned his smile and touched her wrist.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Qingnian followed closely behind, and soon, within the huge magic array, countless magic spells exploded, colorful and extremely beautiful.
After a long while, as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, the sky suddenly darkened, and a dark cloud descended. From within the cloud, a powerful pressure emanated.
Everyone inside the magic circle and the three on the ground were startled and immediately stopped fighting. They looked at the sky warily and saw a figure slowly emerging from the dark clouds. The figure's face was not visible, but the powerful and mysterious aura made people feel awe.
"The Divine Realm wants the Exquisite Heart..."
