Chapter 99 Master's Strength?
After saying that, he gripped the precious sword in his hand and charged fiercely towards Ye Luo.
Just then, a sharp sword light slashed out, blocking his attack.
"who?!"
Ling Qing arrived with several people. Seeing Ye Luo's injuries, she couldn't help but feel a pang of fear. She ordered, "You two stay here to protect the young master. The other three, come with me to fight the enemy!"
The two men in black instantly engaged in combat, and the battle became deadlocked.
The loud explosion caught the attention of Nan Muyin and Yu Qianling, and the two quickly flew towards the location of the explosion.
As Nan Muyin flew on her sword, she asked, "Is his magic weapon still not responding?"
Yu Qianling looked at the magic artifact on her wrist and shook her head: "No, we've been calling for a long time, but there's been no response from Junior Brother."
Nan Muyin: "Fourth Junior Brother, Fifth Junior Brother, have you found Junior Brother over there?"
Cen Feng: "No, we just heard an explosion. Is he over there?!"
Nan Muyin: "We're heading over there to take a look. You guys keep spreading out and searching!"
"good!"
No sooner had Nan Muyin finished speaking than Yu Qianling exclaimed, "There are people fighting magic up ahead!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Muyin quickened her pace on her sword. When she approached the battle zone, she indeed saw Ye Luo's figure and felt her heart pound with fear.
Ye Luo's face was covered in blood, and he was leaning against a rock with his eyes closed, his life hanging in the balance.
"Junior Brother!" Nan Muyin's handsome face flashed with killing intent as he slashed his sword at the two people beside him. "I'll kill you both!"
The two guards were taken aback for a moment, then immediately dodged his fierce attack and said urgently, "We're here to protect the young master!"
"Take this shot!"
At this moment, Yu Qianling also lost her temper and suddenly attacked with a powerful spear, shouting, "Dare to hurt my junior brother? I'll kill you all!"
The two guards tried to explain, but they both seemed to be blinded by rage and wouldn't listen to anything they said.
Seeing the situation, Ling Qing almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "Hey, you guys have made a mistake!"
"Cough cough..."
"Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister...you...you've got the wrong number."
At this moment, Ye Luo slightly opened her eyes, pointed weakly at the group of people opposite her, and said, "Those people in black over there are..."
Nan Muyin and Yu Qianling stopped fighting when they heard his words, but they were puzzled when they looked at the battle in the distance.
Man in black?
Both sides are masked men in black. Which one should I fight?
After observing carefully for a while, Nan Muyin and Yu Qianling finally managed to distinguish friend from foe and rejoined the battle.
The lead assassin in black looked grim. He hadn't expected Nan Muyin and Yu Qianling to be so ruthless and vicious, completely on par with them, these assassins who lived on the edge of a knife.
Watching his men fall one by one, he was unwilling to kill Ye Luo, but the matter had dragged on for too long, so he could only say, "Forget about them, let's get out of here!"
But before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, before he could react.
With a cracking sound, the sound of bones breaking rang out, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest as his body slammed violently to the ground.
"You dare to harm my disciple? I'll skin you alive!"
Ming Cang's eyes were bloodshot, and his body was filled with a surge of red spiritual energy. He then unleashed a flurry of punches at the man, almost turning him into a bloody pulp before stopping.
Looking at the 'person' on the ground, which was no longer human, Ling Qing felt a chill run down her spine and developed a sense of awe for the leader of Peach Blossom Valley.
Ming Cang snorted coldly, grabbed the man's nascent soul, and threw him into the Soul-Locking Bottle.
The bottle was made of a special material and contained the Nine Nether Flames, which burned the nascent soul body with excruciating pain, and within moments a pitiful howl could be heard.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the remaining assassins scattered and fled in all directions.
"A bunch of scoundrels, do you think my Immortal Alliance is just for show!"
At this moment, Mu Tai arrived with a group of men and angrily shouted at the escaped men, "Go, capture them!"
"yes!"
Ye Luo, leaning against the rock, witnessed the entire scene of Ming Cang brutally beating the man in black.
He had always thought that his cheap master was just a weak alchemist, never expecting that he was actually a body cultivator.
When Ming Cang saw that Ye Luo's clothes were tattered and her face was covered in blood, he felt a pang of heartache and said apologetically, "Little Luo, your master is late."
"Master... I'm fine..." But as soon as Ye Luo finished speaking, she suddenly coughed up blood and then closed her eyes and fainted completely.

Due to the unexpected events last night, all the council members and elders of the Immortal Alliance were urgently summoned for a meeting, resulting in the postponement of all competitions.
No one expected that such a thing would happen in Tiankun City, which has always been prosperous and peaceful.
Immediately, the streets and alleys were abuzz with discussion, everyone curious about what exactly happened in last night's battle.
“Last night, more than ten people chased and killed a child. I saw it with my own eyes!” an old woman said while pouring tea.
Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around. "Oh, you saw it?"
"Absolutely! That scene almost scared me to death!"
"Did you see who it was?"
"Anyway, he's a young man, fair-skinned and handsome! He seems to be some kind of little immortal master from Peach Blossom Valley."
"Is her name Ye Luo?"
"Oh, right, right, it seems to be him, the kid who often comes to buy candy figurines."
"Oh dear, every time he comes to buy my candied hawthorns, he gives me extra spirit stones. How could those people have the heart to take advantage of such a kind child!"
"Exactly! They're utterly heartless!"
...
Bai Ruoqian listened to the discussions in the teahouse below the window, then slammed the window shut. She had been so nervous since last night that she hadn't slept a wink.
She never expected that Ye Luo was still alive.
How is this possible?!
Moreover, those assassins from Wanzui City are either dead or captured; it's uncertain whether they'll implicate her.
"If I'm exposed... I'm finished in the Immortal Alliance!"
What should I do? What should I do?!
"Knock knock knock—!"
The sudden knocking startled Bai Ruoqian, who asked in a trembling voice, "Who...who is it?"
Yang Shen: "Junior Sister, it's me."
"Senior Brother, is something the matter?"
"Master just returned from a meeting in the alliance and asked me to call you over there immediately."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoqian's mind went blank, and she slumped onto the bed, asking in a trembling voice, "Do you...do you know what exactly happened?"
"I don't know." Yang Shen sensed something was wrong with her and asked worriedly, "Junior Sister, are you alright?"
"N-nothing..."
"Since there's nothing else, let's hurry over there. Don't keep Master waiting."
"good."
After a long while, Bai Ruoqian finally made her way to the study. As soon as she entered, she saw that the elders were also there, which made her even more uneasy.
