With Cang's blessing, Xiao Ruoli left without hesitation.
Even the mighty Qionghuang Army, and even Empress Murong Ran, could not stop her.
She fled at top speed in Chu Tianyao's direction!
Ye Linyuan did not immediately attack Chu Tianyao...
He was still immersed in that sword strike, but that peerless and magnificent sword strike was not actually delivered by him.
That sword strike was actually the sword intent left behind by Pei Yuhan.
The sword intent had always been there, but it was only triggered by Chu Tianyao's life-threatening pressure.
After Ye Linyuan unleashed that sword strike, he felt a sudden sense of clarity!
The path forward that had been severed seems to have been reopened...
He sensed the opportunity to ascend to the level of a deity!
This feeling was so mysterious and profound that he completely immersed himself in it.
They did not pursue Chu Tianyao, who had already fainted on the ground.
After a long while, Ye Linyuan slowly opened his eyes.
His demeanor became more composed...
"If nothing unexpected happens... I should be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage within a year!"
“The traces of the Great Dao can already be discerned... but the details still need to be refined.”
He gently exhaled a breath of stale air and looked at Chu Tianyao in the distance.
A hint of sadness appeared in Ye Linyuan's eyes. "Even after suffering from poison injuries, he can still exert such formidable combat power."
"Such a prodigy...what a pity..."
He carried the Wangyuan Sword and walked step by step toward Chu Tianyao.
“I have no grudge against you... but I made a promise to Murong Ran.”
"Therefore, the only solution is to kill this peerless genius right here!"
Ye Linyuan raised the Wangyuan Sword and solemnly slashed it down at Chu Tianyao.
In fact, if it weren't for Pei Yuhan's sword intent, it would be Ye Linyuan lying on the ground right now.
In any case, Chu Tianyao could force him into such a desperate situation.
Both are worthy opponents...
Ye Linyuan showed no mercy, and with this sword strike, he was about to completely extinguish Chu Tianyao's life.
But at that very moment!
A deep purple light appeared, and "Cang" blocked Wangyuan.
Xiao Ruoli stood in front of Chu Tianyao.
"Ye Linyuan, you can't touch this man."
A sword dragon radiating purple energy appeared behind her.
This is a demonstration of strength!
However, for Ye Linyuan, who was on the verge of enlightenment, this was not enough.
Xiao Ruoli is almost at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm...
However, Ye Linyuan had already sensed the opportunity to transform into a god.
He was only one step away from becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator and stepping into the Upper Realm.
Therefore, even with Cang's blessing, Xiao Ruoli is no match for Ye Linyuan at this moment!
Ye Linyuan looked at her calmly...
He thought back to many years ago when Xiao Ruoli was just a carefree little princess.
At that time, she liked to stick close to him and ask him for advice on swordsmanship.
She also really likes Murong Ran... and wants to learn his military strategies.
Time is like a knife, changing so much...
Ye Linyuan sheathed the Wangyuan Sword and said calmly, "Princess... Today, I, Ye, repay the kindness of the Xiao family."
"Next time we meet, I won't hold back."
After saying that, Ye Linyuan didn't linger for a moment.
He escaped in the light and left the place.
Xiao Ruoli bent down to check on Chu Tianyao's condition.
"Hmm? This is... the rare poison, Shattered Red."
Xiao Ruoli placed her palms against Chu Tianyao's back and channeled Azure Dragon Purple Qi into him.
After a full cycle, Xiao Ruoli forced out the "Shattered Red" from his body.
"Hmm... He's badly injured. Fortunately... his physique is top-notch; he just needs to find a quiet place to slowly recover."
"Right now... if I break through Ziqi Ridge with Chu Tianyao, we will be surrounded by the Qionghuang Army's heavy forces."
"Uncle Nangong has successfully broken through Ziqi Ridge with his old Canglong troops... Murong Ran will definitely be heavily guarding the area to prevent me from joining Uncle Nangong."
"It seems that the only option is to do the opposite... and break through towards the East China Sea."
"With Chu Tianyao's strength, once he recovers... it will be a piece of cake for him to go to Canglong Ridge and reunite with the old Canglong troops."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruoli carried Chu Tianyao on her back...
She descended towards the East China Sea in a flash of light.
Xiao Ruoli traveled eastward without encountering any large-scale encirclement or interception.
Xiao Ruoli easily dealt with any stragglers of the Qionghuang Army she encountered!
About half a day later
She carried Chu Tianyao to the East Sea.
By this time, the sky was already beginning to lighten!
The East China Sea, with its unique grandeur and magnificence, presents a breathtaking and unparalleled landscape.
As dawn breaks, a pale blue hue appears on the horizon, gradually spreading into a magnificent panorama.
Above the sea, mist swirls, like the most mysterious veil in the world, gently covering the turbulent sea, adding a touch of tranquility and profundity.
As the sunlight grew stronger and the fog gradually dissipated, the true face of the East China Sea was gradually revealed.
The sea surface shimmered, like countless dazzling gems inlaid on it, sparkling with dazzling light, reflecting the azure sky in the distance, creating a breathtaking natural beauty.
The waves crashed against the rocks, creating a deafening sound.
Looking into the distance, one can see the endless mountains stretching to the horizon, shrouded in mist, resembling legendary fairy islands, appearing and disappearing like a mirage, mysterious and unpredictable.
On the island, ancient trees reach for the sky, and mythical beasts roam among them. Occasionally, bursts of celestial music drift through the air, making one feel refreshed and as if stepping into a transcendent fairyland.
The East Sea is not only magnificent in appearance, but also a sacred place of cultivation that countless cultivators dream of.
This area was once part of the Azure Dragon Dynasty's territory...
However, after Murong Ran rebelled, it was ceded to the Sun Wheel Kingdom as a bargaining chip.
Xiao Ruoli sighed inwardly, "I will definitely take back the East Sea from the hands of the Japanese Empire!"
She led Chu Tianyao to a quiet place...
"This East Sea, with its ever-changing tides and abundant spiritual energy... is indeed a good place for dedicated cultivation."
"I will solidify my foundation here so that I can perfectly step into the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm."
"Chu Tianyao can also recover from his injuries here by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth..."
Looking at Chu Tianyao's injuries, Xiao Ruoli pondered, "The sword wounds on Chu Tianyao's body are extremely terrifying. The killing power of that sword is probably beyond what a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator can achieve."
"Ye Linyuan's cultivation level... is truly unfathomable!"
"Once I truly reach the pinnacle of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, with the blessing of 'Cang', will I be able to defeat him?"
"And Murong Ran's cultivation is also quite remarkable... Unexpectedly, in just ten years, she has already reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm."
