"Let...let me go! I know...I know I was wrong!" Han Qianning's face was deathly pale, her expression filled with terror.
"No, don't kill me!"
Those members of the Garan royal family accused Ji Jiuying of being heartless and even incited the masses to put pressure on her.
Ji Jiuying's lips curled into a half-smile as she looked at Han Qianning, "It seems the Jialan royal family doesn't care about you that much after all~ That's why they're so eager to kill you~"
The members of the Garan royal family immediately fell silent. "Stop talking nonsense! Release the Third Princess at once! Aren't you afraid of starting a war between our two countries?"
As if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, Ji Jiuying scoffed, "Let her go? She just tried to kill me! If she's not afraid of causing a war between the two countries, why should I be afraid?"
"Second Prince of Cangyue Kingdom, are you just going to stand by and watch this woman make a grave mistake?" The members of the Jialan royal family suddenly turned their attention to Jun Lintian.
Upon hearing this, Han Qianning immediately wanted to curse those old fools, wondering if they were trying to kill her.
"Han Qianning has committed a grave error, and I will report this matter to my father in detail when the time comes."
Jun Lintian didn't even glance at Han Qianning. In his eyes, she deserved to die. If Xiao Jiu were to get into trouble because of her, not only would Cangyue Kingdom not let Han Qianning and Jialan Kingdom off the hook, but even the people around him now would not let her go.
"As for Han Qianning, all of this is her own fault." Jun Lintian's words were like a merciless sword piercing Han Qianning's heart.
Han Qianning stared intently at Ji Jiuying, her eyes filled with deep-seated resentment and hatred that almost overwhelmed her. Since Ji Jiuying couldn't live, then neither could she. She would make Jun Lintian regret it! Make everyone regret it!
Han Qianning's eyes flashed with murderous intent. If it weren't for this woman, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state! Her spiritual power exploded.
"Oh no, Han Qianning is about to self-destruct!"
Everyone stared wide-eyed. Was she going to take them all down with her? The Garan royal family never expected that their usually cowardly third princess would actually self-destruct!
Han Qianning grinned menacingly, her eyes flashing with malice, her long black hair disheveled and disordered. "Die!"
Seeing this, Feng Che swiftly unleashed a protective shield, enveloping Han Qianning within it. Han Qianning's eyes widened. No! She was unwilling to accept this! "Ji Jiuying, I will haunt you even as a ghost..."
Thud—
With a deafening roar, Han Qianning exploded inside the protective shield set up by Feng Che, leaving no trace of her body.
At this moment, no one sympathized with her anymore, after all, she had just tried to drag them all down with her!
"What a vicious girl!" Xue Ling'er said with a smile.
"Xue Ling'er, are you blind?"
On the dragon, a girl in a black robe and long dress casually turned her head, her black hair fluttering. Her eyes were as cold as a frozen pool, as if she had everything in the world under her control.
"You only know that I killed her, but didn't you see that she tried to kill me?"
Hehe! A light laugh rang out as Xue Ling'er twisted her body. "Little girl, such insolence on my turf will come at a price!"
"Showing off in front of me comes at a price!" Ji Jiuying said arrogantly. She never had a good attitude towards her enemies.
Feng Che raised an eyebrow. He had always thought his niece wasn't the type to use vulgar language, but seeing how she treated that snake demon, he was quite pleased.
After all, that snake demon had designs on him.
Xue Ling'er unleashed a burst of blue spiritual power, her gaze towards Ji Jiuying as if laced with poison, and she brandished her staff, attacking Ji Jiuying directly.
"Xiao Jiu!" Feng Che said worriedly, wanting to step forward to help.
"Second Uncle, you don't need to help me. I can manage on my own."
After speaking, her eyes sharpened, and with a graceful step, she swung the Crimson Fire Phoenix Fan in her hand, dispersing her spiritual technique.
Xue Ling'er was shocked for a moment, then used her magic staff to gather demonic power, "Snowflakes Everywhere!" The falling snowflakes instantly turned into sharp arrows and flew towards Ji Jiuying.
Ji Jiuying sneered and used the Crimson Fire Phoenix Fan combined with the Nine Heavens Profound Fire to unleash a raging inferno. Fire dragons filled the sky, devouring the ice arrows. Ji Jiuying leaped into the air and, with a spin, kicked Xue Ling'er in the abdomen. Xue Ling'er was sent flying and crashed into the ice wall, rolling onto the throne and vomiting blood.
Xue Ling'er stared at Ji Jiuying in disbelief. How could a human in her teens have managed to injure a demon who had cultivated for seven hundred years?
Isn't it said that spiritual energy is scarce on the Cangming Continent? None of the many spiritual cultivators she's killed could withstand three of her moves. Why is this little girl so strong at just over ten years old? And yet, I can't see through her strength. Could she be a Spirit Venerable like that man?
"No, how could this be? How old is she? Could it be that she hasn't been out for too long and the world has changed?" Xue Ling'er shook her head, not believing it was true. She must have some kind of secret weapon.
Ji Jiuying stared coldly at her. Xue Ling'er quickly stood up, channeling her demonic power into the blue gem on her staff, and said with a sneer, "Although I don't know what kind of magic weapon you're using, let's see if you can withstand my extreme cold power!"
As he spoke, a wisp of smoke emerged from the staff and slowly spread, blurring the surrounding environment and causing people to lose their way.
Feng Che quickly activated the defensive array and protective shield.
The extremely cold demonic mist instantly froze those spiritual cultivators who hadn't yet activated their protective shields, and some shields were too low-level to withstand the smoke.
Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes slightly, surrounded by the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, which dissipated before the smoke even got close.
"Hehehe~ So it's the Nine Heavens Mystic Fire. No wonder you're so confident."
Two ice snakes opened their blood-red mouths and attacked Ji Jiuying from the smoke, their massive bodies swinging straight at her.
Ji Jiuying put the little boy away, fearing that if he fought with the two ice snakes, the ice cave would definitely collapse. She summoned the Xuanming Mirror and glanced at the blue gem that was still concentrating on casting a spell on the staff.
Hehe~ I see!
The two snakes' attacks grew increasingly ferocious, and Ji Jiuying's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. The two snakes, under Xue Ling'er's orders, relentlessly pursued Ji Jiuying, who was dodging in all directions.
"Should we go and help Miss?" Qingling looked at Ji Jiuying, holding the Qinglian Qin tightly in her hands, and said worriedly.
"No need, I will take action if necessary," Feng Che said. This fight was beneficial to Ji Jiuying; only through constant challenges could she grow.
Ji Jiuying seized the opportunity, clasped her hands together, and slowly pulled them apart. She recited the Divine Art of Heavenly Control, "In the beginning of chaos, at the beginning of primordial order, all things originate from me..." An invisible force formed a halo from her palms, and a strong current of energy spread outwards.
Thud—
The two ice snakes turned to ashes in an instant, and the entire snow mountain trembled.
"What's going on?"
Was it an earthquake or an avalanche?
Those practicing spiritual cultivation outside the snow-capped mountain peak and those picking snow lotus flowers were inwardly panicked.
