Originally, Zuo Linglan, as the Saintess of the Nine Netherworlds, was as famous as Shao Yunqing, Han Lingxuan, and Lin Xiaoran in Dongzhou, and was also the goddess in the eyes of countless people. She also had someone she liked, and that was Qin Feng, a new disciple her father had accepted a few years ago.

Although the two had very different statuses, they were in love with each other. And Qin Feng was a man of outstanding luck. Not only did his strength increase greatly within a few years of entering the sect, he had already become one of the top geniuses. When he traveled outside, he also obtained a lot of natural treasures. The seed of the Enlightenment Tree was one of them.

Through their own efforts and luck, the two were optimistic about the future, and Qin Feng even vowed to become the first of the younger generation. And judging from his talent and luck, it seemed that it was not impossible to achieve this goal.

But at this time, something unexpected happened in Jiuyou Holy Land, and this unexpected change happened to the Holy Son Chi Xuan.

Chi Xuan had been worshipped in the Nine Nether Holy Land since he was young, and with his extraordinary talent, he was undisputedly the Holy Son of the present generation. However, Chi Xuan was usually taciturn, obsessed with cultivation, and almost unconcerned with external things. Although there were often rumors in the Nine Nether Holy Land that Chi Xuan and Zuo Linglan were a natural match and that they would become husband and wife sooner or later, Chi Xuan seemed to have no idea of ​​love at all, and he had always been lukewarm towards Zuo Linglan.

Originally, Zuo Linglan had admired Chi Xuan and had thought about marrying him. But after years of getting along, she realized that Chi Xuan had no romantic feelings at all, and her love would eventually go to waste.

As her request became hopeless, Zuo Linglan's feelings for Chi Xuan gradually faded, and she eventually fell in love with her junior fellow apprentice.

But what no one expected was that Chi Xuan's temperament suddenly changed three years ago.

After his personality changed drastically, Chi Xuan changed his previous habit of staying at home and indulging in cultivation, and began to become fierce, cruel, violent and bloodthirsty. He first made frequent moves, causing Qin Feng, who had gradually emerged, to be deserted by his friends and relatives under a series of schemes, and finally died tragically at the hands of Chi Xuan.

Not long afterward, Zuo Linglan was also forcibly taken over by Chi Xuan. Her father wanted to seek justice for his daughter, but Chi Xuan killed him on trumped-up charges. Chi Xuan also eliminated the power of Zuo Linglan's father's lineage.

Since then, many people in Jiuyou Holy Land felt that Chi Xuan had become very strange, and many people speculated that Chi Xuan might have been possessed by someone else, and the real Chi Xuan had been killed long ago. However, Chi Xuan's reputation was already at its peak, and Jiuyou Holy Lord not only did not try to figure out what had happened to Chi Xuan, but instead felt that the current Chi Xuan was more suitable for Jiuyou Holy Land, so he protected Chi Xuan. Chi Xuan relied on Jiuyou Holy Lord's preference and became more arrogant and domineering.

Zuo Linglan grew up with Chi Xuan. Even though they didn't have a deep friendship, they had no grudges against each other. Being treated like this by the man she had loved since childhood, Zuo Linglan was sure that Chi Xuan was definitely not the same Chi Xuan as before. So she secretly made up her mind to kill the current Chi Xuan, not only to avenge her father and Qin Feng, but also to avenge Chi Xuan whom she had loved before.

Before his death, Qin Feng suddenly realized his mistake and handed his treasured Enlightenment Tree Seed to Zuo Linglan. He hoped that this Enlightenment Tree Seed could help Zuo Linglan survive. It was also with the spiritual power provided by this seed that Zuo Linglan was able to survive Chi Xuan's frequent replenishment.

However, her cultivation came to a standstill and she could not make any progress.

Therefore, Zuo Linglan knew that if she wanted to deal with that guy who was neither human nor ghost, she could only seek help from external forces.

Over the past three years, she has tried every possible way to contact and cooperate with outsiders, but in the end, nothing worked except that her partners, along with the forces and families behind them, were all eliminated by Chi Xuan.

Just when Zuo Linglan was almost in despair, Feng Shao suddenly appeared.

Feng Shao is different from everyone she has worked with before.

First of all, Feng Shao is more low-key than others, neither ostentatious nor arrogant.

Secondly, he relied on the Yunjian Pavilion, and although the strength of the Yunjian Pavilion was slightly inferior to that of the Jiuyou Holy Land, it was not much different. At least on the surface, the Yunjian Pavilion was not afraid of the Jiuyou Holy Land.

The last and most important point is that Feng Shao's fiancée Lin Xiaoran has long been coveted by Chi Xuan. With Chi Xuan's overbearing and arrogant personality, he naturally cannot tolerate the woman he likes getting engaged to another man, so Feng Shao and Chi Xuan are naturally on opposite sides.

Regardless of whether Zuo Linglan took the initiative to ask for help or not, the conflict between Feng Shao and Chi Xuan was irreconcilable, which meant that Zuo Linglan and Feng Shao could easily reach a cooperative relationship without much communication.

But in order to gain Feng Shao's trust, she still decided to hand over the last bargaining chip in her hand. Because she also knew that after killing Chi Xuan, she would not be able to escape death after returning. In this case, why not give away the seeds of the Enlightenment Tree!

From the moment her father was killed, she no longer considered herself a member of the Jiuyou Holy Land!

Seeing Zuo Linglan's insistence, Feng Shao hesitated for a moment, then carefully collected the seeds. He said to Zuo Linglan in a deep voice: "Since the young lady is so insistent, I will not refuse."

Zuo Linglan finally smiled. She said, "Thank you, Master Feng! I also have two important pieces of information to share with you, Master Feng."

Feng Shao asked curiously: "What information?"

Zuo Linglan said sternly: "Chi Xuan is going to take action against Leng Lingyue and Lin Xiaoran tonight!"

——————————

Leng Lingyue also booked a room upstairs in the inn where Lin Xiaoran and Feng Shao lived. If she was far away from Lin Xiaoran, she would inevitably feel a little worried.

In the past two days, Leng Lingyue killed two masters of Jiuyou Holy Land. After killing the two masters, Leng Lingyue did not care about it anymore. The disposal of the corpses was naturally the responsibility of the Yunjian Pavilion’s base in Qingdi City.

That night, Leng Lingyue was meditating and practicing in her room as usual. But as the night deepened, Leng Lingyue suddenly heard a voice: "Leng Yue Dao Huang, do you dare to come out and see me?"

Leng Lingyue frowned slightly but ignored it.

Seeing that Leng Lingyue didn't move, the voice continued, "Tsk tsk, you are the dignified Lengyue Sword Emperor, but you don't even dare to see a junior like me? You are really unworthy of your famous nickname!"

Leng Lingyue closed her eyes and responded calmly, "He is a man who hides his head but shows his tail. There is no need for me to pay attention to him at all."

The voice sneered, "Don't you care about Lin Xiaoran's safety?"

Leng Lingyue's face darkened, and she said coldly: "If you dare to touch her, I will skin you alive."

"Haha, no matter how powerful you are, you are just one person. Do you really think you can protect a living person like Lin Xiaoran by yourself?"

Leng Lingyue just kept silent and stopped talking.

"Alas, I never thought that the dignified Lengyue Sword Emperor would be a coward who fears battle. How disappointing. In that case, I will accept this little beauty Lin Xiaoran without hesitation!"

Leng Lingyue suddenly opened her eyes, with murderous intent in her eyes: "Since you want to die so much, then I will grant your wish!"

Having said that, Leng Lingyue sat up from the bed and jumped out of the window.

As for Lin Xiaoran, Leng Lingyue had made arrangements in advance. If Lin Xiaoran was in danger, she would be able to sense it immediately. And with her strength, she would definitely be able to come back in a short time.

As soon as Leng Lingyue landed, she saw a figure quickly rushing into a dark alley, and Leng Lingyue immediately chased after it.

The two chased each other and ran for seven or eight hundred meters in an instant. After turning a street, the figure finally stopped. Leng Lingyue was behind him, silently drawing out the Lengyue double swords.

"Aren't you going to run away anymore?" Leng Lingyue asked indifferently.

The man turned around, revealing Chi Xuan's strange and evil face. He looked at Leng Lingyue and said with a sinister smile: "Lengyue Sword Emperor, you showed your skills today and killed the elder of my Jiuyou Holy Land. Do you really think that my Jiuyou Holy Land is afraid of your Yunjian Pavilion?"

Leng Lingyue said disdainfully: "If you are not convinced, you can just ask Tao Yan to come find me."

Tao Yan was the Lord of Jiuyou Holy Land, a strong man in the Tribulation Realm, and one of the top figures in Dongzhou. But in Leng Lingyue's eyes, killing Tao Yan was just a matter of one knife.

Chi Xuan did not take it as an offense and said with a smile: "Fairy Leng, you are so rash to chase me, aren't you afraid that I will set a trap for you?"

Leng Lingyue said calmly: "I can guess what means you can use. It's nothing more than traps and poison. You can't touch me with these things alone."

"Really?" Chi Xuan said with a smile, "Then I wonder if Fairy Leng is confident in dealing with 'Yun Yu He Huan San'?"

Leng Lingyue was startled, then her face turned gloomy: "It seems that I underestimated you a little."

"Yes! And the price you paid for underestimating me is a bit serious!" Chi Xuan's smile gradually became vulgar, totally unlike the temperament of a peerless genius. "I have already sprinkled the air around us with the Cloud and Rain Powder. I believe Fairy Leng must be feeling hot all over and confused at this moment, right? But it doesn't matter. I can be your antidote here!"

Leng Lingyue suddenly sneered: "You don't think you can control me with such a despicable method?"

"Of course not. To deal with a peerless master like Fairy Leng, I have certainly made two preparations." As he spoke, Chi Xuan took out his long sword and said, "Next, let me help Fairy Leng to promote blood circulation!"

Leng Lingyue lowered her head slightly, so Chi Xuan couldn't see her eyes for a moment. However, he didn't know that a trace of disdain flashed in Leng Lingyue's eyes.

Is this the ability of the Holy Son of Jiuyou?

But this is a good opportunity to see what Feng Shao is capable of.

So she raised her head and said calmly: "In this case, please let the Saint of Jiuyou take action!"
