Just as Gu Qingwan's dark power, containing the power to end everything and erase existence, was about to completely annihilate Liu Xuanyin with the final stroke of her finger.
Two urgent, anxious, and even slightly panicked shouts.
Like two sharp arrows piercing the sky, they forcefully tore apart the deathly silence and murderous intent that had solidified to the extreme in the cave without any warning.
Suddenly, the sound came from outside the passage that Gu Qingwan had opened at the cave entrance!
The voices were not produced by one person, but rather by two distinct voices intertwined and overlapping.
It was filled with urgency and a desire to stop them, its target clearly aimed at Lu Yuan!
This sudden change caused the atmosphere inside the cave to shift dramatically once again!
Gu Qingwan's finger, which was about to make a stroke, paused almost imperceptibly.
The pure darkness spinning at the fingertips also showed an extremely subtle stagnation.
The crimson double pupils, shrouded in a thin mist, seemed to pierce through the barriers of space, sweeping coldly toward the entrance of the passage.
The playful smile on the goddess's face faded slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her amber eyes.
They then turned to a curious inquiry and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, his face filled with astonishment and vigilance.
Who is it again?!
Why did he suddenly appear at this moment and call out his own name?
Judging from the voice, it's not someone I know.
Liu Xuanyin, who was "frozen" in place, whose consciousness had long since fallen into boundless silence and was just waiting for final annihilation, seemed to have the last almost extinguished glimmer of light in the depths of his gray eyes tremble slightly, almost instinctively, because of these two sudden shouts.
Could there be another variable?
Someone else came to save him?
No, it's impossible.
Liu Xuanyin's remaining consciousness immediately rejected this absurd idea.
The Ghost-Controlling Liu family's plan in this area is a closely guarded secret. Apart from him and the deceased Tiger Hu Hu, very few of the ten families outside the pass know the inside story.
It's even more impossible for anyone to break through the blockade of the "Blood Corpse Spirit Lord" and countless evil creatures outside, accurately find this place, and appear at this critical juncture.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, each with their own thoughts, stood the invisible barrier at the entrance of the passage, maintained by Gu Qingwan's power, separating the inside from the outside.
It rippled violently like waves, clearly indicating that an external force was trying to force its way in.
Perhaps—with the tacit approval of some internal force—Gu Qingwan did not reinforce the blockade.
Immediately afterwards, two figures, one after the other, hurriedly and even somewhat disheveled, "squeezed" through the undulating barrier.
The first person to enter the cave was a man who looked extremely young, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
He was quite tall and wore a well-tailored, dark blue outfit made of seemingly ordinary material, yet with subtle flowing patterns.
Wear a short jacket in the same color scheme with simple cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem.
His hair was tied back with a simple wooden hairpin, and a few stray hairs on his forehead were slightly damp with sweat from his hurried journey, sticking to his smooth forehead.
He was quite handsome, with clear eyes, a straight nose, and tightly pursed lips, but at this moment his face was filled with anxiety and a solemnity that seemed out of place for his age.
What is most striking about him is his eyes, which are not the usual black or brown.
Instead, it was an extremely rare deep purple, seemingly containing the colors of the sky before an impending thunderstorm.
At this moment, those purple eyes were urgently scanning the cave, and instantly locked onto Lu Yuan, who was covered in blood and in a sorry state.
A look of relief flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper anxiety.
His aura was restrained, yet there was a strange fluctuation that seemed to connect with heaven and earth and draw upon some kind of natural power.
His aura subtly clashed with the sinister atmosphere of this "Spirit-Locking Forbidden Land," making the air within a few feet of him appear "clearer" than elsewhere.
He had a token hanging from his waist that was neither gold nor wood, with an antique design, on which the character "Li" could be vaguely seen in a flamboyant style.
Following closely behind was an elderly man of about sixty years old with a thin build.
He was wearing a faded gray cloth robe, an old-fashioned style with wide sleeves, and ordinary black cloth shoes.
He was dressed like a simple schoolteacher you'd see anywhere in the countryside.
His hair was gray, neatly tied on top of his head with an ordinary wooden hairpin.
His face was thin and his wrinkles were deep. In particular, his eyebrows were long and white, slanting upwards into his temples, which added to his stern and weathered appearance.
The old man's face was even worse than the young man's, with an unnatural paleness.
It was as if they had just experienced a great deal of exertion or fright.
He held a seemingly ordinary ebony cane with a glossy sheen in his hand.
But upon closer inspection, the top of the cane is neither the usual animal head nor a sphere.
Instead, it is carved with an extremely complex yin-yang fish pattern that seems to be constantly rotating slowly, with a faint, obscure spiritual light flowing through it.
His eyes were not large, but they were exceptionally deep and bright, as if they could see through people's hearts.
At this moment, those eyes were also staring intently at Lu Yuan, then quickly swept over the broken "Nine Nether Soul Refining Chain" on the ground and the "frozen" Liu Xuanyin.
And those two soul-chilling figures in mid-air, Gu Qingwan and the Goddess of Beauty.
His eyes were filled with indescribable shock, lingering fear, and a trace of deep apprehension.
The two men's intrusion was clearly not without its price.
The young man was slightly out of breath, sweat beaded on his forehead, and a flash of lightning flickered in his deep purple eyes.
It seems that some kind of extremely energy-consuming secret technique has just been used.
The gray-robed old man had to use his ebony cane to steady himself, his chest heaving slightly, and his face paled even more.
"Master Lu!"
"Hold your hand!"
"Liu Xuanyin must not be killed!"
"We mustn't kill them, at least not now!"
As soon as the young man with purple eyes regained his footing, he immediately stepped forward and shouted urgently at Lu Yuan, his voice clear and melodious but filled with undeniable anxiety.
"Young friend!"
"Absolutely not!"
"The life of Patriarch Liu is of paramount importance!"
"Don't act impulsively!"
The old man in the gray robe spoke next, his voice hoarse but unusually steady, carrying a solemnity born from the experience of life.
After the two finished speaking, Lu Yuan did not say anything, but frowned as he looked at the two completely unfamiliar people in front of him, wondering who they were and whether he had seen them somewhere before.
Upon seeing this, the young man with purple eyes quickly waved his hand and explained, "Master Lu, I am Li Guanqi, the current head of the Du'e Li family!"
"This is Elder Fu Yuanshan, the current head of the Fu family in Beiyin!"
"We are neither Liu Xuanyin's allies nor your enemies!"
"On the contrary, we have come to save you, and to save countless lives beyond the pass!"
The Li family of Du'e?
Is the house in the shade of Fu Jia?
Lu Yuan was taken aback.
The old man's little notebook said that the ten families outside the pass were not all evil; it all depended on whether the current head of the family was good or bad.
However, after this incident with Hu Huhu of the Xudenghu family, Lu Yuan had absolutely no goodwill towards these ten families outside the pass.
Ten families from beyond the Great Wall, all of us are of the same blood and lineage!
The old man who called himself Fu Yuanshan caught his breath and took over the conversation, saying in a heavy tone, "Young friend Lu, are you aware that Liu Xuanyin is connected to the Nine Netherworld Refining God Array and the most fundamental lifeline of this Soul-Locking Forbidden Land?"
"If you kill him now, the formation will lose its only controllable 'key' and will completely go berserk!"
"At that time, the evil spirits and monsters that the Liu family has nurtured for countless generations will all emerge!!"
"Even more terrifying is that the three super evil gods who still have a final connection with his soul will completely lose their last restraints and become wandering calamities that know only destruction!"
"A catastrophe is about to befall the land beyond the Great Wall!"
Li Guanqi's purple eyes flashed with lightning as he added, "Liu Xuanyin used his own blood and soul as a catalyst to deeply bind himself to the evil god of the formation. If he were to instantly perish, the chain reaction it would trigger would be enough to turn this forbidden land, which has been cultivated for countless generations, into the most terrifying bomb!"
"Master Lu, revenge cannot be rushed, but if a moment of gratification leads to an irreparable disaster, it is not the act of a wise person, nor is it what your master, Abbot Li, would want to see!"
Their words were like thunderclaps, exploding in Lu Yuan's ears once again!
He suddenly turned his head, looking at the broken "Nine Nether Soul Refining Chains" on the ground, and then at Liu Xuanyin who was "frozen".
Finally, he looked up at the two figures in mid-air that seemed to be above everything.
The goddess of beauty slightly furrowed her perfect brows, as if sensing and deducing something.
And Gu Qingwan—the darkness at her fingertips continued to slowly rotate.
Behind the thin mist, the blood-red double pupils calmly "looked" at the two newly appeared below, and then "looked" at Lu Yuan.
That look seemed to ask, "To kill, or not to kill?"
After listening to their words, Lu Yuan didn't hesitate at all. He looked directly at Gu Qingwan and said seriously, "Kill!"
Lu Yuan's answer was resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
His gaze was icy, revealing a deep-seated disgust and distrust of the ten families outside the pass.
What catastrophe, what devastation, after experiencing Hu Huhu's betrayal and Liu Xuanyin's scheming.
And the old man's near-death experience filled him with suspicion about every word uttered by these so-called "patriarchs".
In his view, this was just another way for Liu Xuanyin to make a last-ditch effort.
Like birds of a feather flock together; snakes and rats are all in the same den!
The old man's notebook may have recorded some possible "good" things.
But Lu Yuan's personal experience told him that when faced with absolute interests, these long-established families had a much lower bottom line than he had imagined.
not to mention----
What does that old man know about the ten schools of thought?!
If we were to really compare the old man to Lu Yuan now, Lu Yuan would dare say that the old man definitely doesn't have as many families as the ten families he knows!
The old man was wrong!
That little notebook that says there are ten good families is absolutely wrong!
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's resolute and murderous "kill," Li Guanqi and Fu Yuanshan's expressions turned extremely ugly.
Lightning flashed in Li Guanqi's deep purple eyes, filled with disbelief and alarm.
Fu Yuanshan frowned deeply, his wrinkles seemed to deepen, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the ebony cane were visible.
"Master Lu! Think it over!!"
Li Guanqi said urgently.
"The Liu family has managed this place for countless generations; the depth of their connection between the formations and the evil gods is beyond your imagination!"
"With Liu Xuanyin dead, this place has instantly become a desolate wasteland. Those three evil gods, having lost their final restraints, will surely become the source of chaos!"
"The first to suffer will be all living beings within a hundred miles, and Zhenlong Temple will certainly not escape unscathed!"
However, to Lu Yuan, who had already made up his mind, their advice was nothing but noise.
Lu Yuan didn't even bother to look at them again.
Gu Qingwan's blood-red double pupils, shrouded in a thin mist, blinked very slightly.
It was as if confirming Lu Yuan's final decision.
Then, she no longer hesitated at all.
That index finger, imbued with pure darkness, seemed capable of ending everything.
Looking down at Liu Xuanyin, who was "frozen" like a lamb to the slaughter.
It descends downwards in an undeniable, slow, and steady trajectory.
"Buzz—!"
""
The dark origin at the fingertip suddenly expanded and stretched, transforming into an extremely thin, yet seemingly capable of cutting through space and annihilating existence itself, pure black line.
Silent and still, yet carrying a deathly aura that could freeze the soul, it precisely slashed towards Liu Xuanyin's brow!
"No-!!!"
"stop!!!"
Li Guanqi and Fu Yuanshan simultaneously let out a roar of shock and anger!
They never expected that Lu Yuan would be so resolute and unmoved.
The terrifying female ghost attacked without warning, giving them no chance to persuade her further!
Seeing that the black line of death was about to touch Liu Xuanyin, the two of them couldn't care less about anything else!
"Thunderclap Seal! Suppress Evil!"
Li Guanqi's purple eyes flashed with lightning as he rapidly formed hand seals in front of his chest.
The token with the character "Li" engraved on his waist suddenly burst forth with dazzling purple lightning!
A condensed, tangible purple lightning bolt, radiating a majestic divine power, emerged like an angry dragon from the abyss, striking first despite being delayed, attempting to intercept.
Or rather, it deviates from the trajectory of that thin black line!
Wherever the lightning struck, the remaining malevolent energy in the cave seemed to have met its nemesis, and it all retreated and vanished.
"Yin and Yang reversed, Heaven and Earth borrowed their power!"
"Certainly!"
Fu Yuanshan slammed his ebony cane heavily onto the ground!
The yin-yang symbol at the top of the cane suddenly began to spin wildly, bursting forth with chaotic light that intertwined black and white!
An invisible and intangible field, yet possessing a powerful force of confinement and reversal, instantly expanded outward from him.
They attempted to interfere with and delay the space and rules surrounding Gu Qingwan's thin black line, causing its trajectory to deviate!
When the two of them made their move, they used their most treasured life-saving or even desperate techniques!
Li Guanqi's purple lightning contained the true meaning of the "Crossing Calamity Divine Lightning," a technique passed down by the Li family of the Crossing Calamity Sect, which is said to be able to suppress all evil spirits. Its power should not be underestimated.
Fu Yuanshan's method of reversing Yin and Yang is an extremely mysterious and closely guarded secret of the Fu family.
However, their opponent is Gu Qingwan.
He was that terrifying being who could severely injure a super evil god with a casual strike, freeze Liu Xuanyin with ease, and render the "Spirit Locking Forbidden Land" ineffective.
Faced with the purple divine lightning that made ordinary evil gods retreat, and the Yin-Yang reversal field that could make experts of the same level hold their own, Gu Qingwan didn't even lift her eyelids.
The thin, pure black line of death continued its trajectory without changing in the slightest, without even a ripple.
The purple divine lightning struck the thin black line, but there was no explosion, no annihilation; the violent lightning power vanished as if it had been thrown into the sea.
Silently swallowed and assimilated by that pure darkness, it vanished without a trace, without even a spark of electricity.
The field of yin and yang reversal touched the area around the black lines, and the power that was enough to distort space seemed to have hit an unshakable, absolutely smooth barrier.
It couldn't even create the slightest ripple in the air around the thin black line before it dissipated and vanished on its own.
Absolute overwhelming power! Absolute supremacy over the rules!
Li Guanqi and Fu Yuanshan's faces turned deathly pale instantly, their eyes filled with disbelief, horror, and despair!
They knew Gu Qingwan was strong, but they didn't expect her to be this strong!
Their all-out attack was probably nothing more than a tickle in the eyes of their opponent!
The thin black line ignored all obstacles and continued its undiminished speed, cutting down towards Liu Xuanyin's brow!
Death is already within reach!
"Lu Yuan! Tell her to stop!!"
Li Guanqi's eyes were bloodshot as he roared at Lu Yuan, his voice filled with desperate pleas.
"With Liu Xuanyin dead, the countless evil spirits and ghosts accumulated by the Ghost-Controlling Liu family over hundreds of years, and even those three super evil gods, will be completely out of control!"
"At that time, they will surely transform into untamed swarms, emerging to wreak havoc on the world!"
"The first to be affected is the mountain region where your True Dragon Temple is located!"
"Are you really going to just stand by and watch your master, who just escaped danger, fall into the same perilous situation of being surrounded by ten thousand ghosts again?!"
Fu Yuanshan added urgently, his old face twitching slightly from anxiety and exhaustion: "Young friend!"
"Within the Liu family's forbidden area, countless evil creatures are sealed and imprisoned!"
"Liu Xuanyin is the only key and the reins!"
"The key is broken, the reins are gone, and those ferocious beasts, suppressed for countless years, will unleash their pent-up resentment and destructive desires a thousandfold!"
"At that time, the devastation will be immense, and rivers of blood will flow—this is no exaggeration!!!"
Their cries were filled with urgency and fear, and did not seem feigned.
Lu Yuan merely sneered at these words.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he would die today!
