Everyone was shocked, never expecting that this little girl who came to cause trouble could actually contend with an Emperor-level ancestor.
Just as the Meng family was nearly destroyed by Dongfang Mian, the head of the Meng family appeared. He was seen speaking respectfully to an old man in front of him.
The old man seemed unable to control his aura, and a trace of it inadvertently leaked out, immediately setting off alarm bells in Dongfang Mian's mind.
As a sharp gaze swept over him, the old man lunged at Dongfang Mian without hesitation, his heart filled with resentment. He was an Emperor Ancestor, and now that he had broken through the barrier ahead of schedule, he might never be able to advance any further.
Although Dongfang Mian could withstand the Emperor's attacks and even counterattack, she was powerless against the Emperor and immediately decided to flee.
He casually tossed out a teleportation array, grabbed Yan Lin, and everything proceeded according to Dongfang Mian's plan. As long as they escaped, he would shamelessly pester Feng Qianxun to get Aju and the other two out.
But before Dongfang Mian could even take a step inside, she was attacked from behind and sent flying.
"Second Elder," Dongfang Mian spat out a mouthful of blood as she looked at the person who had sent her flying; it was none other than the Second Elder of the Ren family.
At this moment, the second elder of the Ren family was no longer as enthusiastic as before, and looked at Dongfang Mian with a look of disgust.
"It seems your two families have made peace," Dongfang Mian thought for a moment and understood.
“You’re not stupid. We went back and searched for what you needed for a long time without finding anything. If it weren’t for the young master of the Meng family reminding us that you might have been deliberately sent to cause trouble, we would probably still be being fooled by you,” the second elder said.
"So I should have just strangled her," Dongfang Mian said self-deprecatingly.
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you. As long as you hand over the techniques for alchemy and weapon crafting, we guarantee you'll leave the Immortal Realm unharmed," the Second Elder said.
Originally, the Ren family intended to protect Dongfang Mian, but after receiving news from the Meng family, many people changed their minds. "Yes, Dongfang Mian is just an ordinary person, and she doesn't come from any of the hidden families they know. Why should we be so polite to her? We should just arrest her."
That's why we're in this situation now.
Soon, amidst the whispers of the crowd, many who were previously unaware of the inside story understood why the Ren and Meng families would simultaneously target a young girl.
"This is absolutely shameless!"
"You can argue with that, so never show off your abilities carelessly, or you might get targeted."
Everyone looked at Dongfang Mian with pity, as if her fate was already sealed.
Whether out of jealousy of Dongfang Mian's talent for weapon crafting or because the Ren family was using Ren Qingyun to win over Dongfang Mian, just as the group of elders were preparing to capture Dongfang Mian alive, Meng Nianxi suddenly rushed out, holding a high-level divine artifact that the Meng family had been locking in a secret vault, and delivered a fatal blow to Dongfang Mian.
Normally, Dongfang Mian could easily withstand it, but she had used all her spiritual energy to block the Emperor's attack, leaving her with insufficient spiritual energy to support a Supreme Water Shield. She could only watch helplessly as Meng Nianxi attacked her.
In a flash, Yan Lin, who had been ignored all along, suddenly moved and pounced on Dongfang Mian without hesitation. The divine weapon shot out from his body and tore through Dongfang Mian's clothes.
"No!" Dongfang Mian cried out in despair.
Yan Lin smiled slightly at him, and then transformed into a sky full of golden starlight.
Upon seeing Dongfang Mian, he remembered that he had said before that once the clone was killed, it would return to the main body, and he was relieved.
