Wang Tao exclaimed in surprise, and Li Mu and Mu Xin looked at Lin Xuan and Situ Jing at the same time.
As expected, Lin Xuan and Situ Jing remained calm and showed no change in expression. Upon seeing this, the three of them were immediately unsettled.
"How could this be, Situ? Why haven't you changed? Did you already know about the strangeness of this place and take precautions in advance?"
Mu Xin looked at Situ Jing, her expression growing increasingly grim.
Wang Tao and Li Mu both looked at Situ Jing with resentment in their eyes.
They're not stupid; they'd figure out what was going on.
Situ Jing must have been prepared in advance, but she never mentioned it to them. Her intentions are despicable.
"Hehe... Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore. That's right... I was indeed prepared."
Situ Jing chuckled, looked at Wang Tao and the other two, and said, "There are records of this in the handwritten notes of my Situ family ancestors."
Therefore, my Situ family has been planning for many years, searching for a rare treasure that can restrain this power.
Finally, after generations of effort, we have achieved some success.
Saying that!
Situ Jing looked at Lin Xuan and said in a deep voice, "I originally planned to take care of all four of you at this last moment."
But what I never expected was that you were actually alright…
"Situ Jing, you bitch, I'll fight you to the death."
Li Mu roared with a ferocious expression, gritting his teeth as he charged towards Situ Jing, wanting to fight her to the death.
"court death!"
Situ Jing snorted coldly and pointed a finger, instantly unleashing a wisp of sword energy.
It easily pierced through Li Mu's brow.
Instantly, it took away Li Mu's last bit of life.
This immediately stunned Wang Tao and Mu Xin, who froze in place, not daring to make the slightest move.
That eerie power not only devoured their life force, but also caused their strength to decline as their life force dissipated.
His cultivation level remains, but his actual combat strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be.
He was no match for Situ Jing at all.
Li Mu had already tested this for them, so they dared not act rashly.
Situ Jing did not continue to attack Wang Tao and Mu Xin, but instead squinted at Lin Xuan: "I am protected by a rare treasure, which is why my life force is not eroded by that mysterious power."
And you?
And why?
"Because I was prepared! I noticed something was wrong immediately, so I used my strong qi and blood to tough it out."
Lin Xuan chuckled, not hiding anything.
He squinted at Situ Jing and chuckled, "Indeed, the ancients were right: a beautiful woman is the most venomous of all."
These words couldn't be more fitting for you.
Situ Jing's face immediately darkened. Being insulted like this in public would make anyone feel bad.
However, despite being very unhappy, Situ Jing did not make a scene because of it.
The most important point is that he simply cannot handle Lin Xuan.
Her original plan was to use the strange power within the formation to devour Lin Xuanru and Wang Tao, among others, and cause them to lose their life force.
But to her utter surprise, Lin Xuan actually had a way to resist the erosion of this strange power.
This thwarted her plan.
"Lin Xuan, you have proven your strength. Let's cooperate from now on! A true cooperation, to open that great hall together. As for the opportunities within, we'll each rely on our own abilities, shall we?"
Situ Jing said in a deep voice.
"Not good!"
Lin Xuan shook his head, unconvinced.
He didn't trust Situ Jing, that venomous woman, at all; who knew what other tricks she might play?
He then chuckled and said, "Since we're already here, why should I cooperate with you? Kill you, and everything will be mine."
Situ Jing's expression froze, and her face turned extremely ugly.
"Hahaha……"
At this moment, Wang Tao burst into laughter. He looked at Situ Jing with resentment and sarcasm: "Situ Jing, you didn't expect this, did you!"
You schemed and plotted, but in the end, an outsider benefited.
How pathetic…
"Shut up! Do you really think I can't kill you?" Situ Jing said angrily.
He pointed at Wang Tao and angrily rebuked him.
His eyes held murderous intent.
"Heh, kill her! I'm already in this state anyway, I never thought I'd leave alive." Wang Tao sneered, ignoring Situ Jing's threat, and looked at Lin Xuan, saying, "Lin Xuan, if you help me kill this bitch, I can have my Wang family give you a reward."
We guarantee you satisfactory compensation.
“That’s right, and there’s also my Mu family. I can give you a token now. Take it and go to my Mu family. You will definitely not be treated unfairly.”
Mu Xin nodded in agreement.
"You're courting death, so I'll grant your wish now."
Situ Jing shouted angrily, her killing intent rising. With a wave of her hand, two sword energies shot straight towards Wang Tao and Mu Xin.
She had originally intended to keep the two of them, as they might be useful later.
But Wang Tao and Mu Xin actually instigated Lin Xuan to kill her, which made her extremely angry, and she decided to kill the two of them right now.
boom……
Just then, Lin Xuan moved. With a wave of his hand, two beams of divine light burst forth, forcefully blocking the sword energy that Situ Jing was about to unleash on Wang Tao and the other man.
Upon seeing this, Wang Tao and his companion were overjoyed.
Situ Jing's expression changed drastically, and she immediately said to Lin Xuan, "Lin Xuan, don't listen to their nonsense. What they can give you, I can give you too."
and!
You know nothing about what's going on here, killing me will do you no good.
"The palace gates ahead won't be easy to open. You absolutely cannot open them without my help..."
"Lin Xuan, this bitch is lying. Nobody knows what's going on in the palace ahead. She's just trying to trick you."
Wang Tao immediately replied.
"Hmph, you idiot... Just because you don't know doesn't mean I don't know either."
Situ Jing sneered: "My Situ family ancestors' understanding of Tongtian Peak is far beyond what your useless ancestors could ever match."
Otherwise, why would you have become like this?
Holy crap!
As soon as Situ Jing said this, Wang Tao and Mu Xin gritted their teeth, wishing they could tear Situ Jing to pieces.
That bitch, she killed someone and exposed their shortcomings, she's a real scoundrel.
Lin Xuan's expression tightened slightly. After a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, he finally nodded and said in a deep voice, "Let's leave this matter here for now!"
Let's go together, we'll talk once we're inside the palace..."
"good!"
Situ Jing immediately nodded in agreement.
Wang Tao and Mu Xin were unwilling, but neither of them said much.
They're not stupid; they know that at this point, saying anything more won't make a difference.
They can't control Lin Xuan, and saying more will only make Lin Xuan more unhappy, which won't do them any good.
At least for now, their lives are safe.
In fact, no one wants to die if they can live.
Despite their current state and severe loss of vitality, given their identities and backgrounds, it's not impossible for them to find a remedy to restore their life force and recover once they leave the Star Sea.
After all, as long as you're alive, anything is possible.
