Lin Zhao quickly said, "Ruyan, don't blame your master's wife. She just felt that it was too unfair for you to continue being with Tianling."
Lin Jingting, who was leisurely reclining in a deck chair, hummed softly.
Lin Zhao immediately reprimanded him sternly: "What are you humming about?"
Lin Jingting rolled her eyes and said, "What they want to do is none of your business! Why do you have to meddle in other people's business!"
He was already incredibly handsome, far more so than any other male cultivator. In addition, his expression was much more adorable than his usual expressionless face. Several female cultivators on the cloud chariot, who were also at the Nascent Soul stage, couldn't help but giggle when they saw his expression.
Wen Ruyan chuckled twice and said, "It's rare to see Junior Brother Lin act like such a child!" She actually wanted to say, "It's rare to see Junior Brother Lin make such an adorable expression," but considering that Ouyang Hao was still nearby, she was afraid he would be unhappy if he heard it, so she changed her words.
Lin Jingting once again put on a blank, expressionless face: He felt that none of these female cultivators were not having designs on him, it was disgusting!
Just then, a rumbling sound came from the distant mountaintop.
"What happened?" Ouyang Hao looked in the direction of the sound and saw thick black smoke billowing and demonic energy soaring into the sky. The bright sunshine of the day was instantly turned into a dark shadow by the demonic energy, and the forest became extremely gloomy.
Lin Zhao frowned and said, "It seems something happened on the Demon Clan's side."
Wen Ruyan had already released a spirit bird that flew in that direction and instantly returned with news: "There must have been a battle over there."
Ouyang Hao sneered, "The secret realm hasn't even opened yet, and they've already started fighting among their own clans. The Demon Clan is still as despicable as ever."
The increasingly thick demonic smoke in the sky was spreading outwards, so all the cultivators were nervously looking up at the rolling dark clouds formed by the demonic smoke.
Great cultivators are naturally not afraid, but some lesser cultivators with shallow cultivation levels will find it difficult to escape this powerful demonic smoke without the protection of their elders.
The demonic smoke already exuded a powerful sense of oppression, making the cultivators on the cultivators' side feel unbearable pressure. Even great cultivators like Wen Ruyan and Ouyang Hao, who had been at the Nascent Soul stage for many years, felt their legs tremble under the pressure, and were on the verge of kneeling.
But actually, the magic smoke is still quite far from here.
The Mahayana Daoist masters, sensing the difficulties faced by their juniors, have erected protective shields to shield those around them. While this may not completely eliminate the oppressive feeling emanating from them, it at least ensures their safety and prevents them from making a complete fool of themselves.
"Jueyin, can you find out what happened over there?" Lin Zhao asked curiously, seeing the thick smoke lingering and spreading.
Li Jueyin: "It seems like several demon lords are besieging someone."
"Hmm? Who is it that requires several Demon Lords to attack?" Lin Zhao became increasingly curious.
Li Jueyin frowned as she glanced at him. In truth, Li Jueyin couldn't discern who was being attacked, but the number of individuals who could be besieged by several Demon Lords was extremely limited.
She thought of someone: back then, after Hua Nian underwent her tribulation, she absorbed the magical energy of several Nascent Soul cultivators. And the demon lords currently participating in the siege all had connections with those Nascent Soul demon cultivators who had their magical energy absorbed back then.
The sorrow that flashed in her eyes when she looked over stirred Lin Zhao's heart, and he couldn't help but think of someone else as well.
The couple is of one mind!
However, neither he nor Li Jueyin would reveal the truth about this person.
Just then, everyone heard the booming sounds of battle approaching. Even the Mahayana Dao Venerables from the major sects present all became alert and on high alert.
The demonic smoke that had been slowly spreading in this direction suddenly began to billow and surge, as if driven by immense magical power, or as if a hurricane was howling.
Countless evil spirits seemed to roar within the demonic smoke, their sounds terrifying.
The demonic smoke instantly transformed into a thick, dark black, with electric snakes constantly spewing and moving towards this side from the distant location of the demons.
Suddenly, the thick, dark, demonic smoke seemed to be cleaved open from the inside by a sharp blade, tearing apart from the middle to both sides. A huge black dragon boat emerged from the clouds, with a woman standing proudly on the bow. She wore a black Taoist robe, her black hair was only combed into a high ponytail at the back of her head, her face was as white as snow, and she held a black-handled whisk with a white beard.
In this scene, everyone felt as if they were looking at a huge ink wash landscape painting by a famous artist, which was a delight to behold.
The immense pressure released by the dragon boat that suddenly broke through the dark clouds made everyone gasp for breath, and even the many Mahayana Dao Venerables present couldn't help but gasp.
Upon closer inspection of the woman standing at the bow of the boat, Li Jueyin and Lin Zhao unconsciously locked eyes: It really was her!
Li Jueyin thought to herself, "Could it be that she's deliberately trying to attract Wen Ruyan's attention by showing herself so ostentatiously today?" Once Wen Ruyan discovers that Hua Nian is also involved in the exploration of the secret realm, the first person she will want to kill will definitely be Hua Nian, and Lin Jingting will have to wait until later.
Thinking of this, she unconsciously glanced at Wen Ruyan and saw that Wen Ruyan was looking up at the woman on the dragon boat, her eyes were uncertain, and although she tried to suppress it, her face was still twitching, and occasionally a sinister and jealous look would flash across her face.
It's really tough on this woman. With her background, status, and strength, why does she have to play the role of a gentle, virtuous, and benevolent woman?
Li Jueyin felt contempt and was about to look away when she saw that her precious son had changed his lazy and disdainful attitude. He had long since thrown aside his comfortable armchair and stood up by the cloud carriage, his face beaming and his eyes shining with an unprecedented light as he looked up at the woman standing on the dragon boat.
Fortunately, everyone was watching the dragon boat, and no one had noticed her son's unusual behavior.
On a sudden impulse, Li Jueyin reached out and touched Lin Zhao, who was standing next to her.
Lin Zhao understood immediately and conjured his natal sword, pointing it directly at Chu Nian. He shouted, "Hua Nian, so it's you, you demon! How dare you destroy my disciple! Give me your life!" As he spoke, he rode his sword and chased after Chu Nian.
"Lin Zhao!" Li Jueyin called out in feigned panic, and also followed, riding her magic weapon.
"So she's the female demon Hua Nian who crippled my senior brother!" Lin Jingting shouted, and disregarding everything, he also rode the wind away.
Seeing this, Li Yun tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Just as she was thinking of chasing after Lin Jingting, a scream of agony came from the rolling dark clouds high in the sky, and Lin Zhao was thrown into the air and fell. Fortunately, Li Jueyin was right behind him and caught him steadily, thus preventing him from falling directly to the ground in an embarrassing manner.
