Many images flooded my mind, but they were all fragments of memory...
The protagonist of these memories is an infant? Jun Liuyue was full of doubts, not knowing what Qinglong's purpose was, but when she saw the jade pendant, she seemed to understand something.
Liu Yue stared incredulously into the Azure Dragon's eyes. The dragon's scales shimmered under the sunlight. After a long while, she seemed to understand what the Azure Dragon meant.
With a gentle gaze, Qinglong's tears streamed down his face.
"You are... Mother?"
The girl's voice trailed off as her fair hand touched the dragon's skin.
Hearing this long-awaited sound, Long Li's heart surged with a storm of emotions. She had longed for this sound for so many years—
But now, her heart is filled with guilt. It's all her mother's fault. She wasn't strong enough to protect her!
Long Li couldn't imagine how this child had gotten to this point. At the age of seventeen, he possessed a maturity and composure that even a twenty-seven-year-old couldn't have.
"Don't move," Jun Liuyue said softly. Her attack was swift and decisive. The spiritual energy that had entered the Azure Dragon's body instantly transformed into a sharp weapon, stabbing straight at the life contract.
If it were her past life, breaking the life contract wouldn't be difficult; at most, it would just deplete some of her spiritual energy.
This body is still too weak; the price to pay for breaking the contract is far greater than she imagined.
Long Li sensed that Liu Yue's aura was disordered and wanted to stop Jun Liu Yue, but then he heard a cold voice: "Don't resist me, otherwise, you will waste even more mental energy."
The girl's face was pale, and a powerful spiritual force surged from her palms.
At this moment, Yan Qi also sensed something was wrong; the soul rope connecting him to the Azure Dragon was gradually weakening.
"Ha, what an overconfident fool."
Under the blue sky and sea, the dozen or so elders of Tianjing Island formed an array, trapping the Demon King firmly within it. They actually blocked the Demon King's path, but it wouldn't be long before the array broke, and these ten old men would also explode and die.
The elders of Tianjing Island, who usually antagonized each other, reached an unprecedented consensus at this moment—they absolutely could not let this monster leave Tianjing Island!
"You're determined to oppose me, aren't you?" Yan Qi said dismissively. The Demon King was his trump card, and he was very confident in it.
These old things could temporarily stop the Demon King, but they couldn't trap him on Heavenly Realm Island.
"Venerable One, it's not too late to stop now!"
"Once the Demon King goes to the Canglan Continent, the entire Canglan will become a hell on earth! Venerable One, is this what you want to see?"
With a slight furrow in his brows, Yan Qi laughed heartily: "What do the people of Canglan have to do with me?"
At that time, he only needs to open the passage to the upper realm, take all of Canglan's resources and ascend to the upper realm, and everything in Canglan will be irrelevant to him.
These dozen or so elders were all at least at the Spirit Emperor Realm, but even with such cultivation, they were unable to firmly control the Demon King.
Cracking and popping sounds echoed from the barrier, and the elder standing at the front was the first to be hit. Blood gushed from his seven orifices, and soon, his entire face was covered in blood.
They were on the verge of collapse, at this critical moment.
A powerful force pushed it back up, forcibly pushing the cracks back into place.
Elder Jingxuan was worried when he learned that his disciple had come to Tianjing Island alone, so he and Gu Yuan rushed over.
"So it really was you who did this." Gu Yuan looked at Yan Qi. "You bastard, the demons that have ravaged the Canglan Continent for so many years have killed so many people. Yan Qi, you are a real scoundrel!"
"Old acquaintances, huh?" Yan Qi laughed heartily. "You can't stop me!"
"Yanqi, what exactly do you want to do? Do you think the people of the entire continent are like ants that you can crush at will?!"
Elder Jingxuan said angrily, "Because of the demons, the people of the continent have lived in fear for years."
"The common people? What do they have to do with me?"
Yan Qi chuckled repeatedly, activating the power of the contract, "Break!"
In an instant, a powerful force erupted from the Demon King, and the barrier that Jing Xuan and Gu Yuan had painstakingly repaired shattered once again.
Crash!
puff.
At that moment, Yan Qi's expression changed, and he quickly placed his hand on his right pulse.
The shackles controlling the Azure Dragon within the Sea of Souls were completely empty! How could this be!
Yan Qi widened his eyes, spread his divine sense, and probed the place where the Azure Dragon's last breath disappeared.
It actually severed the contractual shackles between him and the Azure Dragon.
how so!
This far exceeded Yan Qi's understanding.
Before he was banished from the Azure Dragon Realm to the mortal realm, he had never heard of anyone who could sever the shackles between a beast's soul and its master! Who could it be...?
A name suddenly popped into Yan Qi's mind: Jun Liuyue! He suddenly remembered what Qingyue had said before she died.
Jun Liuyue is not the soul of this continent.
"That little brat deserves to die." Yan Qi sneered, activating his soul power—
At the same moment the shackles were broken, blood seeped from the corner of Jun Liuyue's mouth.
She had considered the worst-case scenario, but thankfully, it hadn't come to that yet.
Long Li dared not look at the empty sea of souls.
Looking at the little girl in front of him in disbelief, he realized that she had actually severed the shackles between him and Yan Qi!
A storm raged within Long Li's heart, and a thought popped into her mind, but she quickly suppressed it.
Her eyes were full of heartache as she looked at Jun Liuyue.
Just as Liu Yue stood up, a gust of wind swept in from behind, and a ferocious killing intent flew wildly around, like a sharp sword that was about to stab fiercely into Jun Liu Yue's back!
The blood-red flesh was ferocious. Jun Liuyue grabbed the spirit whip, but the next second... a muffled groan came from behind her.
Without a second thought, Long Li used his own body to block the fatal blow. Boom! Long Li's body crashed heavily to the ground.
Her claws were firmly arched above Jun Liuyue, carefully protecting the girl in her arms.
Yan Qi's secret guards appeared; these guards were all fleshless, walking corpses.
They charged forward with swords drawn, followed by five or six menacing demons.
"Mother!"
Seeing Long Li fall behind her, Jun Liuyue tightened her grip on the Wentian Sword.
With a light tap of her toes, she blocked Long Li's path, and only then could Jun Liuyue see who it was.
They soared into the air, and in Jun Liuyue's eyes, their speed seemed to have been slowed down countless times, as if they were about to be torn apart in an instant.
Jun Liuyue coldly stared at the few black figures. Her delicate yet upright figure exuded an extraordinary determination and composure.
Even as they got closer, the girl didn't move. If others saw this, they would just think she was terrified.
But the puppet guards had no thoughts; they only had one command in their minds—kill!
The master's order was to kill this little girl.
