The blade's edge came from the one who protected her while she cast the spell.
He was also someone who came to seek refuge with her, but this person was someone arranged by the Xuanwu Temple to deliberately get close to her.
The purpose was to kill her at this very moment.
Lu Ling focused all her energy on battlefield illusions, and the sheer scale of the illusions she was using had already left her at her limit.
Faced with this sudden and deadly attack from beside her, she was powerless to dodge it.
The others who were guarding her were furious.
"You wicked scoundrel!"
But the person was too well hidden, and suddenly made a move while they were completely focused on the battlefield situation.
The blade of light was already inches away from Lu Ling's head, ready to come to her rescue.
It's too late.
As the blade's edge drew closer to Lu Ling's head, the light in everyone's eyes vanished in an instant.
They relied on Lu Ling's remaining life and depended on her in their hearts.
If Lu Ling were to die now, they would surely perish.
And all living beings in the entire Xuanwu Divine Land could not escape the calamity.
That's all.
it's all over.
But just when their hearts had sunk to the bottom and they could no longer see any hope.
A hand suddenly appeared, and the rapidly descending blade stopped at the same moment the hand appeared.
Yi Boqi.
With a slight twitch of the two fingers holding the long sword, the tip of the sword was broken off.
puff!
The knife tip pierced the attacker's neck and throat, and then he fell backward with a thud.
He instantly killed the attacker, without even glancing at the corpse.
Instead, he looked at Lu Ling, whose face was pale and whose eyes were filled with shock mixed with surprise, with great interest and smiled.
"I remember you didn't have a name back then, and I just randomly named you Bai Qian."
"So, is Lu Ling your real name or an alias?"
This was a period of time that wasn't too long, but it was very short.
When Yi Boqi left the Horn Constellation Realm and went to the Winnowing Basket Realm, he encountered a furry little creature.
On his way to the Sagittarius Realm, the first person he encountered was Youli, which was a pleasant surprise.
It was precisely because of Youli's presence that his actions in the Jixiu Divine Realm went much more smoothly.
Therefore, after devising a plan to dismantle the beastman army, Xiao Boqi and Youli split up and acted separately.
Youli killed the Crimson Emperor and became the new Empress, while she herself went to the Jisu Temple to kill that lump of dragon dung, the Great God of Jisu.
But just as he was about to reach the temple of Ji Su, a small white fox appeared.
The original body, with a young pear in its mouth, appeared within the secret realm.
It was originally a creature born in the same secret realm as Youli, so it protected Youli's original body and used it to exchange for its opportunity with Xiaoboqi.
At the time, Yi Boqi didn't think too much about it. He just thought that this little thing was very smart and had a trace of the bloodline of the ancient divine beast Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.
Although Yuri has separated from her original body, her original body is still one of her weaknesses.
So after receiving the original body from the little white fox, Qi Boqi allowed the little white fox to stay by his side.
I once asked it, "Do you have a name?"
Seeing the little white fox's bewildered look, Yi Boqi smiled and said.
Let's call her Bai Qian then.
The reason it was given this feminine name is because when Huang Boqi lifted its tiny tail, he realized it was a small female fox.
The little white fox was right beside him when he killed that lump of dragon dung.
Then, it witnessed firsthand the entire process of how it subdued the constellation Ji.
This is its destiny.
When Yi Boqi left Ji Su Xingchen, the little white fox continued to cultivate under the starlight.
Ye Boqi neither woke it up nor stopped it from absorbing the power of the stars.
As I said before, encountering itself is its destiny.
He stopped paying attention to the little white fox and never saw it again.
In his mind, the little white fox should still be in the Jisu Divine Realm, which is now the Daqi Jisu Prefecture.
But to his utter surprise, it actually appeared in the Xuanwu Divine Land.
He transforms into a human named Lu Ling and confronts the Xuanwu Temple led by the Xuanwu True Spirit.
You can't buy foresight.
If I had known back then that this little thing would turn into a beautiful woman, I would never have impulsively lifted her little tail.
I saw that... Eek!
"My...my benefactor?!"
After her initial astonishment, Lu Ling said something to Yi Boqi with delight and then prepared to bow.
He Boqi waved his hand to stop them, then pointed to the battlefield below.
"Let's resolve this first, and then we can discuss the details."
As dusk fell, the falling snowflakes covered the crimson stains left by the daytime battle.
The drifting snowflakes transformed the entire world into one hue.
The Qingmeng Mountains achieved a great victory, thanks to the enhancement of Qi Boqi's elixirs, making Lu Ling's illusionary magic even more terrifying.
The fear was transformed into even greater slaughter, and those who relied on Lu Ling harvested the temple's guards even faster.
As darkness fell, the battle ended with the complete annihilation of the temple's forces.
Extreme slaughter inevitably leads to extreme ecstasy.
The Qingmeng Mountains are now filled with the joy of victory.
Inside the pavilion atop the highest peak of the Qingmeng Mountains, Lu Ling was brewing tea for Xiao Boqi.
Standing inside the pavilion, Ye Boqi gazed absently at the snowflakes falling in the night.
The scene was beautiful; it was a view he had never seen before.
So he thought that if he were thirty years old, he would definitely be very happy.
"Please have some tea, my benefactor."
