"You know him?"
The old man in the gray robe beside Feng Youyou, with a serious face and deep eyes, stared intently at her and asked a question.
Feng Youyou was slightly taken aback, her eyes darting away, but after a moment's hesitation, she nodded slightly.
"Well... we've met a few times, but we're just nodding acquaintances, not close friends."
The wind responded softly, its tone sounding somewhat unnatural.
Back in the Outer Heavens, Qin Feng had already agreed to be her follower for a thousand years.
Later, in order to help Qin Feng find Xiao Lin, they entered the spatial passage together.
Because she was unwilling to take any risks, she separated from Qin Feng.
However, Feng Youyou did not want the three gray-robed elders to know these things.
The gray-robed elder showed no sign of doubt. His sharp gaze instantly shifted from Feng Youyou to Dao Yuan and Ning Que.
With his hands clasped behind his back and an indifferent expression, he slowly spoke: "Fellow Daoists, are you truly determined to openly oppose our Heavenly Alliance for the sake of this person who has only recently joined the Backing Mountain Sect?"
Dao Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, meeting the gray-robed old man's gaze with a half-smile, and retorted without fear: "What, do you think your Heaven Stealing Alliance can really do anything to us?"
"Hmph! Young man, don't be too arrogant." The gray-robed elder snorted coldly, then warned, "I kindly advise you two to think this matter carefully before making a decision."
"After all, if we, the Thief of Heaven Alliance, are angered, it could bring an unbearable catastrophe to the Backing Mountain Sect!"
However, Dao Yuan remained calm and composed in the face of the gray-robed elder's threat, even showing a hint of disdain.
He straightened his body, raised his head and said loudly, "Haha, how utterly ridiculous! Let alone your mere Heaven Stealing Alliance, even if you all came together with all your half-step Heavenly Dao Realm experts, what could you do?"
"Do they really think our Backing Sect is a pushover that can be easily manipulated?"
At this point, a sharp glint flashed in Dao Yuan's eyes, and an invisible pressure emanated from his body.
"If you don't believe me, then come and try! Let's see who regrets what they did today!"
Dao Yuan finished speaking his last sentence with unwavering conviction, exuding an unparalleled confidence and domineering aura.
The old man in the gray robe frowned slightly, his face so gloomy it seemed to drip water, and he uttered a cold, piercing sentence from his wrinkled mouth.
"Hmph, since you are so reckless and eager to die, then I will kindly grant your wish!"
As soon as his angry shout rang out, his words had barely fallen when, in an instant, a chilling pressure erupted from his body like a surging tide.
At the same time, the other two people standing with him were equally unyielding, releasing their own earth-shattering auras in an instant.
Just then, as if by telepathy, the three of them simultaneously unleashed their extraordinary skills.
In an instant, light shone brightly, the wind and clouds changed color, and the surrounding area seemed to be turned upside down by the terrifying energy fluctuations they caused.
Upon seeing this, Dao Yuan's expression changed slightly. He knew that the strength of these three enemies was unfathomable, and if Qin Feng, Su Liyue, and Lin Xuan were to remain in the same place, they would likely encounter misfortune.
Without hesitation, he turned around and shouted at Qin Feng and his three hundred men behind him, "What are you all standing here for? Get to a safe place right now!"
Upon hearing Dao Yuan's call, Qin Feng, Su Liyue, and Lin Xuan retreated several thousand meters away without hesitation.
Seeing that Qin Feng and the others had successfully evacuated, Dao Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, he exchanged a glance with Ning Que beside him and nodded to each other.
Then, the two simultaneously channeled their immense divine power, rapidly forming hand seals and gestures.
In the blink of an eye, a barrier of divine power, shimmering with dazzling light, condensed in front of the two of them.
In the blink of an eye, just as Dao Yuan and Ning Que finished constructing the divine power barrier, the divine powers unleashed by the gray-robed elder and the other two came crashing down like a storm.
A deafening roar suddenly rang out, and the three incredibly powerful divine abilities slammed into the divine power barrier almost simultaneously.
After being subjected to the fierce attack that surged like a tidal wave, the divine power barrier began to tremble violently!
It was as if the whole world was shaking, and the originally dazzling light on it was now flickering, giving people a sense of teetering on the verge of collapse.
Dao Yuan and Ning Que both had extremely solemn expressions. They gritted their teeth and poured all their strength into maintaining the barrier.
The veins on their foreheads bulged out, twisting and turning like dragons, and sweat poured down their faces like rain.
Nevertheless, they dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest, for they knew that once this barrier was breached, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing this, the three gray-robed elders became even more smug and arrogant.
They exchanged a glance, and understanding each other perfectly, they increased the power they channeled into their respective supernatural abilities.
In an instant, howling winds and thunder roared as all sorts of terrifying power bombarded the divine barrier.
As time went on, the cracks on the divine power barrier increased and continued to spread.
The cracks crisscrossed like a spider web, a shocking sight.
"Rumble..."
With this deafening, earth-shattering roar, the divine barrier, which was already on the verge of collapse, shattered in an instant like fragile glass!
Countless dazzling rays of light burst forth in all directions, as if to tear the entire space into pieces.
Fortunately, Dao Yuan and Ning Que were prepared. The moment the divine power barrier shattered, they moved like lightning and retreated at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, they had retreated hundreds of meters away, successfully avoiding the impact and damage caused by the terrifying energy explosion.
After regaining their footing, Dao Yuan and Ning Que exchanged a quick glance without hesitation, their eyes conveying a tacit understanding and determination.
Immediately afterwards, they took the initiative to dart towards the three gray-robed elders not far ahead, as swift as two shooting stars streaking across the sky.
Facing a formidable foe, Dao Yuan and Ning Que knew that this battle allowed no room for carelessness.
Therefore, they immediately unleashed their most powerful and fierce supernatural skills without reservation.
In an instant, the world changed color, the wind and clouds surged, and endless spiritual energy gathered wildly, forming dazzling torrents of light around them.
