Because she knew she had succeeded!
Everyone was overjoyed; the blood sacrifice formation had been broken! Ye Qingchen, who was about to step forward, stopped, his hands clenched tightly under his sleeves.
"You brat..."
Hei Xiangling watched the falling blood shadow, her heart sank, but she did not go up to it, because she knew that the person would not give her a chance.
The old Phoenix Clan looked at the people in mid-air with resentment. He was so close, so very close, to succeed. He had truly underestimated these people.
They actually managed to break the formation without the White Tiger present.
He never imagined that, although he lacked the power of the White Tiger, there were two Kunpeng and Qilin outside who were a level higher than the White Tiger.
Through her blurred vision, a black figure rushed toward her, its blood-red eyes captivating and filled with cruelty and savagery.
But she saw the panic, worry, and unease in his eyes.
That was her God—
"Jiu'er—I'm sorry, I'm late."
Gong Mingyue's voice trembled, as if he had found something he had lost. He held her tightly, but when his hand covered her back, he froze on the spot. With a muffled groan, a blood-stained needle appeared in his hand and vanished instantly.
His gaze fell on Old Ancestor Feng not far away, and his voice was as cold as ice in the dead of winter.
"You're asking for it!"
In an instant, a fierce wind arose, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and killing intent erupted from all around him. He held Ji Jiuying in one arm, healing her wounds, while gathering spiritual power in the other.
As soon as Old Ancestor Feng stood up, he met Gong Mingyue's blood-red eyes and a strange fear ignited in his heart.
Gong Mingyue's figure appeared behind the man like a ghost, and he struck the back of Old Ancestor Feng with a palm. Old Ancestor Feng's body formed an arc in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.
Old Ancestor Feng frowned as he felt a faint pain in his heart, but before he could think further, the cold voice came again.
"I have also planted a Soul-Destroying Needle in your heart. As long as I activate the restraint, no matter where you escape to, your heart and soul will explode and you will die instantly."
A hint of shock and fear flashed in Old Ancestor Feng's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, especially when he realized that the man in front of him had reached the limit of the Heavenly Domain.
Ji Ying, who was in her arms, had almost recovered by now. She looked up at the white-haired man in front of her and felt a mix of heartache and complicated emotions welling up inside her.
"Ah Yue, be careful of him. He has two bodies, sharing one consciousness but different souls."
Ji Jiuying reminded him, and Gong Mingyue frowned slightly. Sharing the same consciousness but not the same soul was something he had never heard of before.
"Heh, you've reached the limit of the Heavenly Realm. You can kill me once, so the next time, it's my turn to kill her..."
Old Ancestor Feng deliberately provoked Gong Mingyue. If he were to kill him at this crucial moment, the Heavenly Dao would surely take him away at all costs…
However, he still underestimated Gong Mingyue. He only heard the word 'death' fall like the judge of fate.
Old Ancestor Feng stared at Gong Mingyue in disbelief. Before he could say anything, Gong Mingyue's body exploded in mid-air, splattering blood everywhere.
The bloody scene changed everyone's perception of Gong Mingyue once again.
Just then, the power of Heaven reappeared. When he stopped suppressing his power, he was about to ascend, but in order to save Ji Jiuying, he withstood the power of Heaven. Later, he broke the formation and challenged Heaven again.
For some reason, they always felt that the Heavenly Dao was being lenient. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao and forcibly taken away long ago.
However, this time the power of Heaven's Dao was clearly several times stronger than the previous two times.
"Ah Yue...you!"
"You've reached the peak of the Celestial Venerable Realm!"
Ji Jiuying's breath hitched. How could she not understand the power of the Heavenly Dao? Were they going to be separated again?
"Jiu'er, don't worry. Even if I have to leave, I will help you sort everything out!"
Gong Mingyue lowered his bloodshot eyes and looked at the person in front of him gently, and said.
"Ah Yue, has defying the Heavenly Dao affected you?"
"No."
Ji Jiuying was skeptical when she heard this, and looked up at the thunderclouds that were brewing.
When the Feng family members saw Feng Yu and Ji Jiuying come out together, their hearts finally settled down. Since they were quite far away, they didn't know what they were talking about, nor did they know that the Feng Ancestor had two bodies.
At this moment, they exchanged a glance, sighed softly, and were about to say something when Feng Yu spoke up.
"Ancestors, grandfathers, fathers, be careful, the progenitor had two bodies..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than, boom! The ancestor who had just been killed by the explosion instantly reappeared in everyone's sight.
To prevent him from being instantly killed by Gong Mingyue again, they quickly flew forward and surrounded the Feng family patriarch. It wasn't to protect him, but to ask him why.
"Ancestor, why did you do this? For your own selfish gain, you could even harm your own descendants, deceiving us for so long..."
"You have such a cruel heart!"
Self-blame, anger, and guilt welled up in his heart. Because of the ancestor's lie, he had lived for over a thousand years and had personally sent nearly a hundred women into the harem. The thought that the rules that had been maintained for thousands of years were actually a bloody lie tore at his heart.
"Every man for himself, and heaven and earth will punish him. No matter what, I am your ancestor. It is their honor to sacrifice their lives for me."
The Feng family patriarch looked at the Feng family members with a half-smile, and said, "I've raised you all for so long, it's time for you to repay me..."
