When Yue Lishan uttered these words, Qin Luo suddenly stopped and gently pushed Nuantang towards Yue Lishan.
Then he looked ahead with a somber expression.
In an instant, the previously deathly quiet surroundings were suddenly filled with a strange fluctuation, and the space began to ripple in layers.
The first thing to emerge from the ripples was a woman with a graceful figure.
She wore a long red gauze dress, which fluttered with her movements, and her narrow eyes held a hint of coldness.
With each step she took, her slender waist swayed rhythmically, drawing the eye involuntarily, yet a chill ran through one's heart the moment their gaze fell upon her cold face.
Immediately afterwards, a huge, five-colored butterfly fluttered down from not far from the woman in red.
It flaps its dazzling wings, each flap scattering a brilliant light.
Amidst the shimmering interplay of light, the divine butterfly transformed into a woman dressed in colorful robes, her lively eyes concealing countless enchanting dreams, and her entire being radiating a dreamlike aura.
However, beneath that seemingly beautiful atmosphere lies an unpredictable danger; a beautiful dream often hides a deadly trap!
Then, a massive ancient centipede, its body radiating a chilling black light, crawled out from the churning ripples.
Each of its feet left a dark trail of blood on the ground, accompanied by a sickening, corrosive sound.
In the blink of an eye, the ancient centipede completed its transformation, becoming a burly and robust man. His face was covered in thick, fleshy muscles, like a rough boulder, and he gripped a spiked club made of countless intertwined centipede legs.
The spiked club reeked of a nauseating stench, telling the story of the countless tragedies and killings it had been stained with.
Finally, a towering wave surged up, and on its crest stood a man in a green robe with his hands behind his back.
He stood tall and straight, his clothes fluttering in the waves, and his eyes revealed an innate arrogance, as if he didn't care about anything in the world.
Behind him stood a woman of exceptional beauty, her eyes filled with awe and obedience. She stood quietly behind the man in the green robe, yet unintentionally revealed a chilling aura belonging to the deep sea.
The moment the man in the green robe appeared, he looked at the three people beside him. What he saw made his expression turn somewhat grave.
These three were none other than the other three overlords who, like him, had recently established themselves in the ancestral lands:
The descendants of the exquisite ancient snake, the snake charmer; the descendants of the sweeping cloud butterfly, the butterfly dream; and the descendants of the ancient centipede who saves from peril, the sharp-toothed.
This made Lin Shuo feel somewhat heavy-hearted. Originally, with his and Jiao Mengyan's strength, they could be considered top-notch in the Ancestral Pool, if not the most powerful.
The appearance of these three individuals has undoubtedly complicated the situation, making a fierce battle between them seem inevitable.
Meanwhile, Butterfly Dream Shadow, Snake Charm, and Gritting Fang were all sizing each other up, each aware of the other's presence.
But the next moment, the ripples around them began to gradually disappear, and their vision returned to normal. The figures of Qin Luo and the other two were clearly visible in their eyes.
When the five people saw Qin Luo and his group appear, all of them except for She Meirou glanced over them quickly. When they realized that none of the three people in front of them were even saints, a hint of contempt rose in their hearts. Naturally, they had no interest in them and would never have imagined that they would be their opponents. At that moment, they were all focused on being wary of their opponents.
Lin Shuo's expression was cold and stern, with spiritual energy flowing around him. His seemingly calm eyes concealed vigilance as he kept a close eye on Die Mengying, She Meirou, and Liya's every move in order to seize the initiative.
Meanwhile, Die Mengying's lively gaze darted back and forth between Lin Shuo and the other two, a faint smile playing on her lips. She appeared relaxed and at ease, but in reality, she was secretly scheming how to gain the greatest benefit in the impending conflict.
Liya stood there nonchalantly, gripping the rotten spiked club tightly in his hand, occasionally swinging it around to make a whooshing sound, his fierce gaze sweeping across the faces of the crowd.
Jiao Mengyan stood quietly behind Lin Shuo, her eyes full of devotion. She appeared docile, but in reality, she was always paying attention to the battlefield situation and ready to plan for Lin Shuo's best interests.
Unlike the others, when She Meirou saw Qin Luo, her clear, cold pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of barely concealed fear flashed across her face.
Her breathing suddenly quickened, and her previously healed injuries began to throb again. She instinctively took a step back, a storm raging within her.
How could it be him?!
Although she managed to escape in time during her previous encounter with Qin Luo, the unforgettable and devastating defeat haunted her like a nightmare.
She still remembers Qin Luo's unfathomable strength and the calm yet indifferent look in his eyes when he held her life and death in his hands. The despair of being powerless to resist still makes her shudder.
However, before these influential figures could speak, Yue Lishan, standing behind Qin Luo, stared intently at Jiao Mengyan, who was standing behind Lin Shuo, her gaze filled with hatred as if she wanted to tear her to pieces.
His eyes were instantly filled with hatred, and his aura became disordered due to the violent fluctuations of his emotions.
At this moment, Yue Lishan bit her lower lip tightly, her teeth almost digging into her flesh, and bright red blood slid down the corner of her mouth. Only the word "revenge" remained in her mind.
Suddenly, Yue Lishan flashed to Qin Luo's side.
He knelt down, his knees slamming onto the blood-stained ground, splattering blood everywhere.
Her voice trembled with sobs, each word brimming with sorrow and pleading:
"My lord, I have endured humiliation and hardship for this day. Jiao Mengyan wiped out my entire family and slaughtered my relatives! Li Shan dares not hope to take her life with her own hands, but only hopes that my lord can take action and let this villain receive the punishment she deserves, so that her death can comfort my parents and relatives who died unjustly."
As she spoke, she disregarded the mud and blood on the ground and began to bang her head against the ground with great force. Her forehead struck the ground with a dull thud, and soon her forehead was torn open, and blood slid down her cheeks, mixing with the blood on the ground.
Yue Lishan knew this move was a calculated scheme, betting that Qin Luo would have no choice but to take action.
But she had no other choice. Now that the opportunity was before her, she was willing to risk being punished by Qin Luo afterward. She had only one thought in her mind: to make Jiao Mengyan pay for her crimes in blood.
As expected, this sudden turn of events instantly shattered the tense atmosphere.
The five people in the distance were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes all fell on Qin Luo.
