Reaching out, Li Miaoru patted the chubby boy again. Then, looking at Yun Yun, who was trapped by the sword formation and was threatening her with fear, her disgust deepened.
"In my original plan, I would just take the Nine Netherworld Flame and then leave."
"I don't want to cause too much trouble, as that would only disrupt Your Highness's plans for the future."
At this point, Li Miaoru turned to look at the vast gray mist within the battlefield of the realm.
"But your intentions are too malicious. If you only wanted to take the Nine Netherworld Fire, that would be fine, but you have turned this place into a slaughterhouse to kill my Eastern Divine Land."
"They have deployed a million troops within a radius of a thousand miles, intending to use heavenly fire as bait, just to kill the cultivators of my Eastern Divine Land."
After speaking, Li Miaoru turned around and looked at Yun Yun again.
"His Highness said that anyone who wants to kill the people of my divine land is an enemy I must kill. Therefore, your so-called title of princess of the Celestial Empire cannot exempt you from death."
The moment Li Miaoru finished speaking, the little chubby pink body suddenly trembled.
The sword formation that imprisoned Yun Yun began to unleash devastating attacks, but it was different from before in that...
The one killed by the sword formation unique to the Yunqin royal family was Princess Yunyun of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty.
Every member of the royal family of the Yunqin Dynasty will begin to practice the Yunqin Sword Formation after enlightenment, and Yun Yun is no exception.
However, she, who previously thought she had a thorough understanding of the Yunqin Sword Formation, was shocked to discover that when she was being attacked by the sword formation, her understanding of the Yunqin Sword Formation was so superficial.
Even as a princess of the Celestial Empire, she carried countless treasures with her.
But under the relentless bombardment of the sword formation, her treasures were being rapidly depleted.
Little Fatty, as if he had found a new toy, was having a great time manipulating the sword formation.
It was originally a formation spirit. All formations in front of it fall into only two categories: those it wants to break and those it is too lazy to even break.
The Yunqin Sword Formation is incredibly profound and powerful, but it's clear that Yun Yun's skill level is still far from sufficient.
If he wanted to turn the tables and break her sword formation, Little Fatty could do it in the time it takes to grunt twice.
The incident on the mountaintop caused a large number of cultivators and soldiers from the Vermilion Bird Temple to quickly gather. If the princess of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty were to suffer any mishap on the Vermilion Bird Divine Land, the Vermilion Bird Divine Land would be unable to withstand the wrath of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty.
Within a radius of a thousand miles, a million soldiers were hidden.
These troops, originally intended to massacre the Eastern Divine Land, received orders and rushed madly towards the mountain peak.
But just as the Vermilion Bird Divine Earth army was about to react and was already close to the mountain peak, ready to launch an attack on Li Miaoru, their steps suddenly faltered.
They were immediately enveloped by a massive array, and as the runes flashed, they were instantly blasted to pieces by the array.
And such scenes are playing out everywhere within a radius of thousands of miles.
The formation was, of course, set up by Little Fatty at Li Miaoru's behest, because from that moment on, what Li Miaoru wanted was not just the Nine Netherworld Fire.
Instead, they wanted to control this slaughterhouse, but those to be slaughtered were not people from the Eastern Divine Land.
Li Miaoru stood quietly atop the mountain, the roar of the array and the mournful screams of countless people echoing in her ears.
But none of this caused her eyes to waver in the slightest. She simply watched the situation unfold quietly, as if she were waiting in silence.
Within the sword formation, Yun Yun's treasures had been completely exhausted. Just as a huge sword beam was about to strike down on her head, a roar carrying immense pressure from a powerful expert arrived at lightning speed.
"Dare to lay a hand on my Celestial Princess, you will all die!"
It was an old man dressed in a magnificent robe, and the moment he appeared, a bright light suddenly flashed in Yun Yun's eyes.
"Grandpa Yungen, please save me..."
Yun Gen is a member of the royal family of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty and also Yun Yun's protector.
Perhaps it was to make Yun Yun more independent, or perhaps it was because no one had dared to challenge the authority of the Yunqin Dynasty for so long that he had become complacent.
Therefore, he only returned at top speed when Yun Yun was about to be killed by the sword formation.
The immense pressure shattered the rocks on the mountaintop into dust. With a wave of his hands, tens of thousands of spiritual swords suddenly appeared, transforming into a massive and incomparably sharp sword array that suppressed Li Miaoru.
"Anyone who dares to provoke the dignity of the Celestial Empire..."
Just as he was halfway through his furious outburst, a giant bird's beak suddenly appeared behind him and swallowed him whole.
That's all.
The immense pressure was gone, and those domineering words were cut short halfway through.
As Grandpa Yungen passed away, a rain of swords began to fall from the sky.
Tens of thousands of spirit swords, now out of control, clattered and fell to the ground, the sound somewhat chaotic and jarring.
The phoenix landed on Li Miaoru's shoulder with a burp, and leisurely preened its ugly feathers.
This scene left Yun Yun, who was originally dressed in luxurious palace attire and who spoke of bestowing favors and exterminating nine generations of her family, completely stunned.
That's not how it is... things shouldn't be like this.
She is a princess of the Celestial Empire, the most noble person standing at the pinnacle of the entire continent, how could she possibly...?
But that was the end of her internal monologue.
The reason she was allowed to live until now instead of being instantly killed was for the sake of her protectors.
Then, the real slaughter began.
At this moment, the phoenix also revealed its true nature as an ancient ferocious beast.
The ferocious beast was never a cute little thing. It acted cute and cheeky on Li Miaoru's shoulder because it had been with Li Miaoru since birth.
Its true form, however, is a giant bird with wingspans reaching a thousand feet.
Its sharp claws can easily crush large rocks on mountain peaks, and its sharp, terrifying beak sends chills down your spine.
In the opening and closing, a large number of Vermilion Bird Divine Earth Soldiers and Armored Cultivators were devoured.
Little Fatty continued to manipulate the formation, relentlessly bombarding the Vermilion Bird Divine Earth army trapped within it.
The pig and the bird seemed to be competing, but the competition was incredibly bloody.
Sheng Lingxiao, who had been watching all this from the mountaintop, looked at the calm-faced girl standing to the side with endless admiration.
With a wave of his hand, he annihilated 100,000 soldiers and armored men, and then went to the mountain peak to kill another million enemy soldiers, all without any change in expression.
There was no ecstasy of victory, no bloodthirsty madness, and he didn't even utter a single impassioned word.
Yes, it is simply a matter of indifference.
His utter composure, his unwavering detachment from worldly changes, and his indifference to mountains of corpses and seas of blood, filled Sheng Lingxiao with utter admiration.
Although the girl beside him looked rather thin, her calm demeanor and the clean, decisive way she could slay millions of enemies with a wave of her hand filled Sheng Lingxiao with boundless admiration.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously took a step back.
He stood a step behind Li Miaoru, as if acting as a bodyguard.
After a long silence, Sheng Lingxiao slowly spoke.
"I think I know where I'm going and what I'm supposed to do?"
After saying that, he pointed to the spirit swords scattered all over the ground and continued.
"Although I can't remember it right now, I can feel a familiar aura on these swords. What I'm looking for should be there."
Then he looked at Li Miaoru with admiration in his eyes.
"After I find what I'm looking for, can I become your lackey?"
