"Xuan di, something feels wrong."
As the cloud ship drew closer, Luo Xuan suddenly frowned and spoke.
Li Xuan was startled and looked at Luo Xuan. "What's unusual?"
Luo Xuan replied, "In my senses, the barrier of the Cangmang Continent seems to have been forcibly broken. And below, there appear to be three small fry whose strength has reached the peak of the Qiankun Realm."
Hearing Luo Xuan's words, Li Xuan was speechless.
Peak Qiankun Realm, and small fry?
However, Li Xuan didn't pay attention to this for now. What mattered was that Luo Xuan said the barrier of the Cangmang Continent had been broken. In Li Xuan's memory, there were no experts at the Qiankun Realm level on the Cangmang Continent. Even Xuan Ye and the others were only at the peak of the Saint Realm when Li Xuan left.
"Lian Qiao, speed up." Li Xuan thought for a moment and said. Lian Qiao nodded, and with a flick of her hand, the cloud ship lit up with a spiritual glow. In the next moment, its speed doubled.
It wasn't that Lian Qiao was unwilling to unleash the full speed of the cloud ship earlier. It was because the consumption was enormous. In one day, it would consume tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones.
After leaving the Xingyun Continent, they had been traversing the starry sky for more than three months. If they had driven the cloud ship at full speed, even the Xingyao Merchant Guild would have found it difficult to bear. But now, it was clear that the Cangmang Continent seemed to be in trouble, and they were so close. Lian Qiao naturally wouldn't begrudge the speed.
At this moment, Li Xuan's expression was solemn. He knew how strong a Qiankun Realm expert was. If it were just one person, perhaps Xuan Ye and the others could handle it. But Luo Xuan had just said there were three peak Qiankun Realm existences, and Li Xuan couldn't help but worry.
Yue Fuyao, Jian Chi, Yue Caixuan, Liu Jiaqi, Zhou Wenjin, Mo Ningxiang, Feng Hao... and so on, all the people Li Xuan knew were on the Cangmang Continent.
Cangmang Continent, Wuyue City.
"Miss Fuyao, you have only one stick of incense left." A man with an arrogant expression floated in mid-air, looking down at Wuyue City below, and said slowly.
"What should we do?" Zi Ru Lai asked, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, then looked at Xuan Ye and the others.
Xuan Ye remained silent, looking helplessly at Yue Fuyao, who was surrounded by Jian Chi and Yue Caixuan and others behind him.
Originally, Xuan Ye thought that with their firm stance, the Candle Dragon Clan might still be wary. And with Liu Jiaqi and Zhou Wenjing leading the reinforcement of Saint Land powerhouses, Xuan Ye and the others were full of confidence. But they had never expected that everyone had underestimated the Candle Dragon Clan.
After Xuan Ye and the others made their stance clear, an elder from the Candle Dragon Clan directly struck out with his palm. Everyone present was severely injured by this palm strike. If Yue Fuyao hadn't stepped forward, Xuan Ye and the others would have been killed on the spot.
"We did our best." Xuan Ye sighed helplessly. The situation was beyond their control, and Xuan Ye could see that the strength of that elder alone was not something they could resist. Not to mention, there were two other elders standing beside him.
Clearly, these three elders were all powerhouses of the Candle Dragon Clan.
"I'll go." Yue Fuyao glanced at Yue Caixuan and the others, her expression gradually firming. Yue Fuyao said, and then withdrew her hand from Yue Caixuan's. At this point, Yue Fuyao understood that they had no chance of winning.
"Junior sister, don't go!" Yue Caixuan quickly grabbed Yue Fuyao. Jian Chi, standing beside them, also sighed with a hesitant expression and turned his head away.
"Senior sister, please take care of our master for me and let her old age pass her final years in peace." Yue Fuyao smiled slightly and then pulled her hand away again.
"Fuyao is here, and I thank all seniors. Fuyao will forever remember this kindness!" Yue Fuyao said, bowed respectfully to Xuan Ye and the others, and then got up and walked out.
"It is our incompetence that we could not protect Miss." Xuan Ye and the others said with shame on their faces. Yue Fuyao's footsteps slowed slightly, and then she stepped out.
"Miss Fuyao, have you made up your mind?" Seeing Yue Fuyao walk out, Zhu Li, who was in mid-air, his eyes lit up and he landed in front of Yue Fuyao and asked. Although there were powerhouses from the Cangmang Continent all around, Zhu Li didn't seem to be worried at all. His eyes showed a fervent gaze.
Yue Fuyao dodged Zhu Li's gaze with some disgust and looked into the distance. "Your target is me. Spare them. And afterwards, you must not do anything detrimental to the Cangmang Continent. If you can agree, I will leave with you."
"Miss Fuyao, rest assured, I, Zhu Li, agree!" Zhu Li said with great joy and nodded.
Yue Fuyao nodded slightly, then walked slowly forward. Seeing this, Zhu Li waved his hand, and a cloud ship appeared.
"If Li Xuan returns, how will we explain this to him?" As Yue Fuyao was about to board the cloud ship, Liu Jiaqi suddenly looked at Zhou Wenjing and asked.
Zhou Wenjing frowned and then her eyes suddenly firmed.
"If he knew that we didn't fight to protect her, he probably wouldn't have any contact with us anymore. Besides, we can't leave a bad impression on the child." Zhou Wenjing said, and then moved her steps.
Liu Jiaqi fell silent, but quickly followed.
"You should stay. Someone has to tell him that we are having his child." Zhou Wenjing stopped and turned to block Liu Jiaqi.
Liu Jiaqi smiled and said, "Whether he acknowledges it or not, the child is already born. Let's go. On the road to the Yellow Springs, there should be someone to keep us company, shouldn't there?"
Zhou Wenjing shook her head, but didn't stop her any further. Soon, both women moved and shot directly towards Zhu Li.
"Mere Saint Realm, daring to attack me." Zhu Li seemed to sense something and waved his hand. In the next moment, Zhou Wenjing and Liu Jiaqi were sent flying backward.
Pfft!
Both women spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces instantly turning extremely pale.
"Stop!"
Yue Fuyao shouted urgently, looking at Zhou Wenjing and Liu Jiaqi with anxiety.
Zhu Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill them. But I think we should leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if anyone else who doesn't know their place comes out, I can't guarantee that my next move will be so measured."
Yue Fuyao glanced at Zhu Li, then turned and boarded the cloud ship.
Buzz!
Just then, a buzzing sound echoed. The three elders in mid-air all frowned, and then they all looked towards the sky.
"What a huge cloud ship, what force is this?"
Xuan Ye frowned, seeing this. The cloud ship was over twenty zhang in size. To this day, Xuan Ye had never seen such a massive cloud ship. Moreover, this cloud ship was emitting terrifying profound light. In the high sky, even space seemed unable to bear it, and cracks appeared.
But in the next moment, Xuan Ye and the others, as well as Yue Fuyao, showed expressions of extreme joy.
A figure was walking through the air.
"You, want to take her away?"
