Qingyuan Mountain Range.
The Qingyuan Sect's protective formation has been activated, and Lin Qingyin and Tianxin have already emerged from seclusion.
At this moment, they and more than thirty Qingyuan Sect disciples stood on the top of a green mountain, looking out at the sect's protective formation. Everyone had a solemn expression.
Outside the sect's protective formation, an early-stage Immortal Emperor and more than twenty Immortal Kings were preparing to attack the formation.
The only one at the early stage of the Immortal Emperor realm is Mingyuan, the sixth elder of the Lingxian Sect.
"Let's do it!"
Mingyuan shouted, and the twenty-odd Immortal Kings launched an attack on the sect's protective formation simultaneously.
Mingyuan sneered with a ferocious expression. "You cowards of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect, why don't you come out and die?"
Lin Qingyin frowned, her expression shifting between light and dark. After a moment's hesitation, she looked at Tianxin and the others and spoke.
"I'll go out and buy you some time. You guys find a chance to escape in another direction later!"
"If we all survive, we'll meet in Tianyuan City in a month!"
After saying that, Lin Qingyin flashed out of the sect's protective formation.
Mingyuan's expression changed drastically when he saw Lin Qingyin appear. "Be careful!"
Although Mingyuan's reminder was timely, two early-stage Immortal Kings who were a beat too slow to react were instantly killed by Lin Qingyin.
The other Celestial Kings immediately dispersed and surrounded Lin Qingyin, launching a fierce attack.
Faced with the fierce attack, Lin Qingyin had no choice but to take out a defensive quasi-immortal artifact that Ziyun had given her before she left to defend herself.
As expected of a defensive quasi-immortal artifact, its defensive power is terrifying.
The dense array of magical abilities of the sorcerers were completely blocked, failing to cause Lin Qingyin any harm.
Lin Qingyin was overjoyed and immediately launched a counterattack.
Her offensive was incredibly swift, and in the blink of an eye, she had taken down two more Celestial Kings.
Upon seeing this, Mingyuan's face instantly darkened, and he shouted, "Step back, all of you! I'll handle this!"
Upon hearing this, all the celestial kings decisively retreated to a distance of a hundred meters.
Mingyuan rushed to Lin Qingyin's side immediately, his gaze fixed on her with a sinister intensity. "You're actually still alive!"
"But your good luck ends here. You are going to die today!"
Lin Qingyin looked at Mingyuan indifferently and asked, "Who told you our whereabouts? A disciple of the Beiming Immortal Sect, or someone else?"
Mingyuan gave a half-smile. "Have you forgotten the Qingming Merchant Guild?"
"Because you were too arrogant, you destroyed so many sects in the Qingyuan Mountains some time ago, which aroused the investigation of the Qingming Chamber of Commerce."
"However, we also paid a great price to get information about you from the Qingming Merchant Guild."
"But as long as we can eradicate the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect, it will be worth any price to pay."
Lin Qingyin's heart sank. The Qingming Chamber of Commerce had actually gotten involved. Wouldn't that mean they could be found no matter where they fled in the future?
But now is not the time to think about that. Facing Mingyuan, the Immortal Emperor, she doesn't know if she can survive.
Mingyuan looked at Lin Qingyin with a mocking expression.
"Lin Qingyin, you are quite beautiful and talented. If you are willing to sign a blood pact with me, I will spare your life!"
"And I can assure you that I will let the other members of the Northern Underworld Immortal Sect who escaped the net go free."
"You only get one chance, so I hope you'll think it over carefully before you answer."
Lin Qingyin frowned slightly, feigning hesitation.
What she needs to do now is buy time so that Tianxin and the others can escape.
Besides that, she also had another expectation: that she could delay until Qin Feng returned.
Qin Feng possesses a celestial artifact, and if he were to strike unexpectedly, he would have a very high chance of killing Ming Yuan.
Could you give me a day to consider it?
Lin Qingyin looked at Mingyuan. Although the chances of him agreeing were extremely slim, she still wanted to give it a try.
Mingyuan sneered. "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you probably want to buy time so that those who slipped through the net can escape, while also waiting for reinforcements."
"You're so childish!"
"You really think I only brought this few people with me?"
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, the area around Qingyuan Sect has been sealed off by our people. Not even a bird can fly out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyin's expression changed drastically. Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately rushed into the sect's protective formation.
Mingyuan couldn't possibly be bluffing her, and even if he were, she wouldn't dare take the risk.
Mingyuan's face darkened, and he shouted, "Attack the sect's protective formation immediately!"
Soon, the Immortal Kings launched another attack on the sect's protective formation.
After telling Tianxin and the others not to leave the sect's protective formation for the time being, Lin Qingyin rushed out of the formation again.
They unexpectedly killed three Celestial Kings!
Mingyuan flew into a rage and, without further ado, launched an attack on Lin Qingyin.
He used all his strength from the very first move.
Lin Qingyin's strength is extremely powerful; even though she is only at the peak of the Immortal King realm, he dares not be careless in the slightest.
To avoid capsizing in a ditch.
Faced with Mingyuan's offensive, Lin Qingyin was powerless to fight back and could only defend herself.
Fortunately, she possessed a defensive quasi-immortal artifact, which Mingyuan couldn't do anything to her for the time being, thus buying her some time.
She could only pray that Qin Feng would return in time, otherwise, once her spiritual power was exhausted, she and Tianxin and the others would surely die today.
Because of the continuous activation of the quasi-immortal artifact for defense, Lin Qingyin's spiritual power was consumed by about 50% in less than ten minutes.
Mingyuan then sneered arrogantly, "Lin Qingyin, I'll give you one more chance to sign a blood pact with me!"
Lin Qingyin's face was icy as she coldly said, "Don't be arrogant. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
"Don't forget the quasi-immortal artifact I have. If I detonate it, are you sure you can survive?"
Mingyuan's face froze. The power of a quasi-immortal artifact self-destructing was terrifying. Not to mention him, even a mid-to-late stage Immortal Emperor might not be able to withstand it.
However, he would not be intimidated by Lin Qingyin. He stopped talking and his attacks became even more ferocious.
At the same time, he also called on all the Immortal Kings to join forces in attacking Lin Qingyin, not giving her a chance to detonate the quasi-immortal artifact.
In an instant, Lin Qingyin was surrounded by an energy storm formed by magical powers, which completely engulfed her figure.
Although she relied on the quasi-immortal artifact for defense, the consumption of spiritual energy was extremely terrifying.
Within a few breaths, she had consumed about ten percent of her spiritual energy.
If this continues, her spiritual power can only last for about half a minute at most.
She desperately wanted to detonate the quasi-immortal artifact and perish together with Mingyuan and the others, but unfortunately, she was powerless to do so.
She now deeply regrets saying it; wouldn't it have been better to just detonate the quasi-immortal artifact directly?
Unfortunately, there's no going back!
Just as Lin Qingyin's spiritual power was about to run out, a sharp and terrifying sword aura attacked from behind Mingyuan and the six Immortal Kings.
It moves extremely fast and is impossible to defend against.
In the end, apart from Mingyuan who managed to escape, the other six Immortal Kings were all cut in half by the sword energy.
This sudden turn of events terrified the remaining Celestial Kings, who broke out in a cold sweat and retreated dozens of meters away in a panic.
