Seeing that Ruan Xiyan was not leaving, Fu Chishang sighed. Given Xiao Xi's personality, this was not unexpected.
Since Xiaoxi won't leave, we have no choice but to fight to the death.
Fu Chishang unleashed his divine power, revealing that he was only a mid-level divine general, while Fu Yashan, as a talented and favored princess of the divine realm, had already reached the level of a low-level divine king.
The gap between him and her was too great; he had almost no chance of winning, but now he had no choice but to give it a try.
"An ant trying to shake a tree." Fu Yashan scoffed, meeting Fu Chishang's gaze. "Today, I will eliminate those who collude with the demons!"
Ruan Xiyan relentlessly pushed the limits of her inner strength, her eyes sharpening as she watched the Frostfall Sword grow ever larger in the air. Not enough! The power was still insufficient!
He needs to be even stronger, otherwise he won't be able to get close to Fu Yashan at all.
Ruan Xiyan desperately squeezed out her own power, and the blood-red light in her eyes intensified.
In an instant, Ruan Xiyan's strength broke through to the advanced half-immortal realm, and the power that had been depleted in her body was instantly replenished.
"He actually broke through at this moment, but what can that change?" Fu Yashan kicked Fu Chishang.
Fu Chishang crashed to the ground, causing the ground to collapse, and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
"I have to give it a try." Ruan Xiyan gripped the Frostfall Sword and slashed fiercely towards Fu Yashan.
A massive sword shadow hurtled towards Fu Yashan. She curled her lips in disdain, gathered power in her hand, and blocked the oncoming sword shadow.
The scattered energy fluctuations shattered the ground, and the oppressive force pressing down on the disciples of the Illusionary Concealment Sect disappeared.
"Let's all help the sect leader!" Jiang Lin shouted.
They poured all their spiritual power into Ruan Xiyan's body.
Ruan Xiyan then used the power transformed into demonic energy to support the enormous sword shadow.
Fu Yashan took a step back, her eyes flashing with disbelief. She was actually able to unleash such formidable power!
The chill emanating from the massive sword shadow suddenly condensed into countless ice spikes around it, each spike also bearing eerie black flames.
Fu Yashan gathered her strength in front of her to defend herself.
"Bang bang bang—"
The sound of colliding forces resounded through the sky, and an even more powerful wave of energy blasted everyone away.
Ruan Xiyan herself suffered a backlash from overexerting her power, and blood spilled from her lips.
As the aftershocks subsided, Fu Yashan's slightly disheveled figure was revealed. She looked down at the bloody hole in her shoulder where she had been stabbed.
Although it healed in the blink of an eye, Fu Yashan still felt a humiliation she had never experienced before.
She was hurt by an ant she looked down upon!
"You! Very well!" Fu Yashan gritted her teeth and said, "You have some skill to be able to hurt me, but you could have died a quick and painless death, but now you probably won't be able to!"
"Aren't you the sect leader of this sect? I'll make you watch helplessly as everything you care about comes to nothing." Fu Yashan raised her hands, and countless fireballs appeared in the sky behind her.
As her palm fell, all the fireballs hurtled towards the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
Just then, a barrier suddenly appeared in front of the Illusionary Concealment Sect, intercepting all the fireballs falling from the sky.
The fireballs vanished like smoke the instant they touched the barrier.
"Who goes there?" Fu Yashan looked around as she saw the sudden turn of events.
“Fu Yashan, as a princess of the God Clan, you have led the way in defying the rules set by the God Clan. What is your punishment?” A clear, cold, and long female voice rang out from the surroundings.
As the voice faded, a woman dressed in a flowing silver dress emerged from the void that had split open in the sky, and the void behind her slowly closed.
Upon seeing the woman who appeared, unlike the panic on Fu Yashan's face, Fu Chishang exclaimed with delight, "Sister!"
Fu Lizhi looked at Fu Chishang and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Fu Chishang shook her head, "Sister, I'm fine."
Fu Lizhi looked at Fu Yashan with a sharp gaze, "Achi is also your brother, how could you be so cruel to him?"
She heard that Fu Yashan had come to the cultivation continent. Fu Yashan and A Chi didn't get along, and Fu Yashan had always looked down on the cultivation continent.
Now, she inexplicably went to the cultivation continent, where Achi was. She sensed something was wrong and worried that Fu Yashan and Achi had gotten into a conflict, so she rushed over.
“I don’t have a younger brother with the lowly blood of the demon race. No one in the entire god race takes him seriously. Only Her Highness the Goddess treats him like a treasure,” Fu Yashan said sarcastically to herself.
The father had many children, if not a hundred, then at least several dozen.
Even those who aren't outstanding aren't as shameful as Fu Chishang.
"Leaving aside why you hurt Achi, I'm asking you, why are you here?" Fu Lizhi asked.
“If Fu Chishang can come, why can’t I? Besides, I’m not here to play around. I’m taking him back to celebrate Father’s ten-thousandth birthday.”
"Who would have thought that we would find Fu Chishang betraying his own people and colluding with the demons? Your Highness, aren't you supposed to be the most impartial and incorruptible? Shouldn't Fu Chishang receive the punishment he deserves?"
“Sister, I didn’t! Fu Yashan is clearly lying. She threatened to use her divine power to kill everyone present at the slightest disagreement. If anyone is guilty, it should be her,” Fu Chishang said angrily.
Fu Lizhi gave Fu Chishang a reassuring look.
She knew her younger brother best, whom she had raised since he was a child. Although Achi could be rebellious at times, he was a person who could distinguish right from wrong and was clear about gratitude and resentment. He would never do anything to collude with the demons.
“Words are meaningless. You’re trying to frame Achi based on this baseless accusation.” Fu Lizhi said sternly. “I know you don’t like Achi, but I’m here to protect him. I won’t allow you to slander him like this.”
"Whether it's fabricated or not, Your Highness only needs to capture that demon and torture him severely. I don't believe the demon won't confess." Fu Yashan gestured towards Ruan Xiyan's direction.
Hearing this, Fu Chishang became extremely anxious. "Sister, Xiaoxi is a good person, and she is my friend. I know her character best. She has never done anything immoral."
"Achi, don't be anxious. I have my own judgment on this matter." Fu Lizhi looked at Fu Chishang in surprise. It was the first time she had seen Achi protect someone so much.
Fu Lizhi's gaze fell on Ruan Xiyan, who was standing there.
When she looked over, Ruan Xiyan froze. Such strength! A single glance could exert such pressure.
However, what surprised her most was not her ability, but her appearance.
The woman's appearance was very similar to the portrait of the Empress Dowager hanging in the Emperor's study; their features were almost identical.
However, their overall demeanor is completely different; one is gentle and graceful, while the other is aloof and proud, giving people a completely different feeling.
If you are not familiar with someone, it is difficult to connect the two people.
