At the critical moment, Nangong Ling'er steeled her heart and thrust the Immortal Sword forward, but she watched helplessly as the sword shattered piece by piece under the white jade fist, unable to resist at all. At that moment, she seemed to see the scene of her own death.
Fortunately, Qin Yuejiao intervened in time, shouting, "Change formation! I'll occupy the central palace, give me all your spiritual power!"
At this moment, the disciples of the immortal sects around them reacted very quickly. In fact, they had already begun to restore their formation positions after their mentality had stabilized. At this moment, they were just changing the formation's core.
Qin Yuejiao's move, while altering Nangong Ling'er's arrangement, was a feasible method under duress. However, this formation also had certain flaws, especially when facing a master like Bai Yu, because once Qin Yuejiao occupied the central palace, she would become the core of the formation.
That would clearly tell the enemy that she is the core of the formation. Killing her would not only destroy the formation but also implicate all those who formed it. Of course, such a change also has its advantages. At least Qin Yuejiao was already strong enough, and with the support of this formation of thousands of people, she would become even stronger.
So when Nangong Ling'er was on the verge of death, Qin Yuejiao froze Bai Yu into an ice sculpture. Moreover, this time the method was different from before. Bai Yu struggled for a long time but was unable to break out of the ice.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Yuejiao came to Nangong Ling'er and helped her up. When Nangong Ling'er saw Bai Yu, who was frozen into an ice sculpture and unable to move, she immediately said, "Restore formation and be on alert! This enemy is not so simple!"
Qin Yuejiao shook her head and said, "Don't worry, he won't be able to break free in a short time. We'd better retreat. If we want to kill him, we'll probably have to rely on Nanmen Yihan or your sect's Liu..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Yuejiao's eyes widened, and Nangong Ling'er's eyes widened as well. A sharp claw pierced through Qin Yuejiao's heart, covered with jet-black dragon scales, and blood dripped down her arm.
"You scum! You little reptiles dare to harm me! Die!!!"
With a swift claw strike, Qin Yuejiao collapsed into Nangong Ling'er's arms. At that moment, Master Kuhai, wielding his blood-red blade, charged forward, blocking Bai Yu's path. "Run!"
Nangong Ling'er led Qin Yuejiao to a nearby room and frantically treated her, using all the life-saving pills and unusual techniques at her disposal. However, as a healer, she had a clear understanding of the injuries. She knew that Qin Yuejiao was not going to survive; her heart had been shattered, and even the best life-extending pills could not prolong her life.
But Nangong Ling'er still wanted to save her because she felt guilty; after all, if she didn't help, she would be the one to die.
Although Nangong Ling'er had little contact with Qin Yuejiao, she knew that this woman was worthy of her respect. After her husband died, she raised her son alone and supported the Kunlun Immortal Sect for so many years.
"Sect Leader Qin... hold on, I can still think of a way..."
"No...no need..." As she spoke, a faint smile seemed to appear on Qin Yuejiao's lips, her mouth full of blood. "If I...if I can return alive with the Sect Master's Token in my arms, I will give it to...my son. If I die, no one will be able to stop him anymore."
She vaguely recalled the words her rebellious son had said to her before she set off: "The love your mother gives is too heavy for me to bear. I would rather not be your son, I would rather... be a beggar on the street than be a illegitimate sect leader under your protection."
That day, she hit her son, but as memories flooded back, she realized that she had been incredibly strict with him all these years, as if she had been too eager for him to succeed, which had instead become a burden.
At this moment, she smiled calmly and said, "I...I'm leaving...only then will he understand how difficult it is to sit in this position...Elder Nangong, please help me find Han Xiong. Under my bed in the Kunlun Immortal Sect, there is a hidden compartment containing his elder brother's debt to him, and also the Kunlun Immortal Sect's debt to him...Give it to him. There is also a handwritten letter from me, hoping that he can return to the sect to take charge of the overall situation. With the emergence of the Heavenly Demon Abyss, the world is in turmoil. If the Kunlun Immortal Sect wants to survive in this chaotic world, Han Xiong is indispensable."
Nangong Ling'er agreed with a trembling voice, then gently placed the already lifeless Qin Yuejiao on the ground, stood up and performed the most solemn bow, then stood there in silence for a moment, her eyes growing colder and more stern.
The battle outside was becoming increasingly fierce, and Master Kuhai probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. But at this moment, Nangong Ling'er was already somewhat panicked. She was at a loss and was thinking about a possible opportunity to change the course of the battle.
One was Xiao Yuhan and Nanmen Yihen, who had left, but she didn't know that one of them was trapped in an illusion and the other was insane. The other was the one she had sent a letter to the Tianjian Sect for help when she came here before. She didn't know if her senior brother Liu Jiantang had arrived yet.
From then on, it seemed there was no other way. All the experts of the righteous path in the world combined could not seem to contend with the Heavenly Demon Abyss. Each of them was so terrifying. If their strengths were similar, they could fight each other, but in battles above the Dao Integration Realm, the outcome could not be determined by the level of cultivation.
With such a significant difference in strength, all schemes seemed ineffective. Suddenly, Nangong Ling'er turned to look at Qin Yuejiao's corpse beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly shook her head, saying, "Sect Leader Qin's death is somewhat related to me; I cannot humiliate her any further..."
Having abandoned the idea of using unorthodox methods, she took out a small medicine bottle and hesitated for a moment, "Even if I take it, it won't be very effective, right? This is not enough for an opponent like that."
Thinking of this, Nangong Ling'er no longer hesitated. She took out a pill that could temporarily enhance her cultivation and swallowed it. Then she applied acupuncture to the major acupoints around her body. Soon, her aura changed. She looked at the door with her brows furrowed and said, "I have been praying that some senior brother will come, but even if they come, won't they still have to fight to the death?"
