"Five Staff Light Shackles!"
As the voices of He Xiuzhu and his four companions fell silent, five golden lights instantly flickered into existence.
Under the gaze of the crowd, they instantly formed a light prison that surged towards Qin Mingjue and Sheng Lingxiao.
The four early-stage Immortal realm powerhouses of the Sheng clan immediately moved, but were intercepted by Wang Kun, who had been prepared for this.
Wang Kun now possessed mid-stage Immortal realm strength, and it was not too difficult for him to deal with four early-stage Immortal realm opponents.
Within a few breaths, Wang Kun had gained the upper hand against the Sheng clan's four early-stage Immortal realm powerhouses.
Witnessing the sudden turn of events, the Immortal realm powerhouses of the four Yue clan factions exchanged glances and subtly shook their heads.
Whether they intervened now or not was no longer of much importance. Moreover, even with the appearance of He Xiuzhu and the other five, it was unlikely to change the outcome.
Even though Sheng Lingxiao had just broken through to the Boundless Realm, he was not someone that early-stage Immortal realm cultivators could defeat. Furthermore, besides Sheng Lingxiao, there was also Qin Mingjue who had just arrived.
How could two existences above the Immortal realm be so easily killed?
"The divine abilities and secret techniques of Shengyuan Sect indeed have their merits. If Dan Wushuang were to use them, I would indeed have to be wary. As for you, this level of power is insufficient."
Qin Mingjue glanced at the five golden light pillars surrounding them, then smiled and shook his head. With a casual wave of his hand, a giant palm formed from spiritual energy instantly shot towards the five golden light pillars.
Boom!
The giant palm collided with the five golden light pillars, erupting in an explosion and a deafening roar. The five golden light pillars directly dissipated into spiritual light.
Pfft!
Concurrently, He Xiuzhu and his four companions all spat out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, after Qin Mingjue shattered the golden light pillars, they had suffered a backlash. He Xiuzhu and his four companions looked up at Qin Mingjue, a look of desperation flashing in their eyes.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister!" Li Xuan shouted anxiously upon seeing this.
Qin Mingjue glanced at Li Xuan, smiled slightly, and then shifted his gaze to He Xiuzhu and his group, his expression turning cold. The killing intent in his eyes was exceptionally evident.
Li Xuan sensed that something was amiss and immediately moved, holding the Saint Seal and swiftly heading towards Qin Mingjue.
"Stay put obediently." Qin Mingjue's pupils constricted slightly as he looked at the Saint Seal in Li Xuan's hand, clearly surprised.
However, with a wave of his large hand, an invisible force instantly restrained Li Xuan in place. He then unleashed five palm strikes into the void, and He Xiuzhu and his companions were sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
Boom!
At the same time, Wang Kun's battle against the four early-stage Immortal realm powerhouses of the Sheng clan also concluded. All four early-stage Immortal realm powerhouses were defeated. Although Wang Kun emerged victorious, he had also expended considerable energy.
Then, Wang Kun's gaze shifted, and he saw the situation of He Xiuzhu and his group.
"I almost forgot about you." Qin Mingjue glanced at Wang Kun, and as soon as he spoke, his figure vanished. In the next instant, he lightly placed a hand on Wang Kun's chest.
A dull thud echoed, and Wang Kun was sent flying backward. Crimson blood splattered across the sky, resembling wilting roses.
"Sixth Senior Brother!" Li Xuan's eyes widened in fury, and a stream of tears slowly flowed down. His senior brothers and sisters were falling one by one, yet Li Xuan was powerless, forced to watch.
This despair caused Li Xuan to close his eyes in agony.
"Sheng Lingxiao, are you not going to make a move?" Qin Mingjue looked at Li Xuan, then shifted his gaze to Sheng Lingxiao and said.
"Yes!" Sheng Lingxiao's body trembled upon hearing this, and he immediately waved his hand. The Sheng clan's army then surged towards the various factions of the Yunling Continent.
With the suppression of the world's order and rules removed, everyone's strength was restored. Although the Sheng clan's army was far outnumbered by the forces of the Yunling Continent, their strength was overwhelmingly superior.
In less than a minute, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Yunling Continent's factions were killed.
"Open for me!" Even though Li Xuan wasn't looking, the screams were incessant. Desperate, Li Xuan felt powerless, and the flames of anger burned fiercely.
Then, Li Xuan erupted in a furious strike, punching forward.
Boom!
Perhaps due to Li Xuan's rage, the invisible power that had been restraining him was instantly shattered by this punch.
Feeling his freedom restored, Li Xuan immediately moved and headed towards the various forces of the Yunling Continent.
"World rules, be my instrument!" Li Xuan's hand seals shifted, and he slapped them towards the Sheng clan's army. The previously dispersed world order and rules instantly reappeared.
Concurrently, Li Xuan unleashed a punch towards the Sheng clan's army, repelling them instantly. The remaining Yunling Continent forces, seizing this opportunity, hastily retreated into the distance.
"As expected of the new World Lord of this Yunling Continent, you managed to break through my restraint. But even so, what significant impact can that have? Since you are the World Lord of Yunling Continent, if you die, there will be no one to resist. Therefore, perish."
Qin Mingjue glanced at Li Xuan, shook his head as if bored, and said.
He then pointed into the void towards Li Xuan, and a stream of spiritual light transformed into a sharp sword that shot towards Li Xuan's chest. Li Xuan tried to dodge, but the restraining force reappeared.
"Junior Brother!"
Shen Ziwen's voice rang out, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of Li Xuan. The stream of spiritual light pierced through Shen Ziwen's body. Seeing Shen Ziwen's face rapidly turn pale, Li Xuan became flustered.
His spiritual energy circulated rapidly, and he unleashed punch after punch towards his surroundings. However, this time, Li Xuan's attacks did not break through Qin Mingjue's restraint as before.
Shen Ziwen's gradually fading life force was imprinted clearly in Li Xuan's mind.
"Junior Brother, live well... live well..." Shen Ziwen forced a smile at Li Xuan, his eyes slowly losing focus. Then, his body transformed into a five-colored radiant glow, scattering into the heavens and earth.
"What a touching scene of brotherhood. I almost shed a tear." Qin Mingjue clapped his hands, looking at Li Xuan with a smile.
Then, a spiritual light flashed in his hand, and another stream of spiritual light condensed.
"This time, who else will die for you?"
"Junior Brother, you must live!" As Qin Mingjue's words fell, Song Qianyu's figure instantly appeared, blocking Li Xuan's body.
After giving Li Xuan a slight smile, her expression turned solemn as she turned to face Qin Mingjue. The resolute look on her face was evident.
"As expected, someone will stand up for you. Since that is the case, I will grant your wish." Qin Mingjue appeared unsurprised by this turn of events and pointed a finger, sending a stream of spiritual light directly towards Song Qianyu.
"Fourth Senior Sister, go!" Li Xuan shouted loudly, but Song Qianyu's body remained unmoving. A crimson spiritual light penetrated her, and Song Qianyu's body instantly dissipated.
"Junior Brother, live well!" As soon as Song Qianyu's body vanished, Lu Hanchi's figure reappeared.
...
"Junior Brother, you have inherited Elder Dan's Saint Seal, making you the heir of our Shengyuan Sect. You cannot die. Promise Senior Brother, you must live well."
He Xiuzhu looked at Li Xuan with a gentle smile and then, like Lu Hanchi, Song Qianyu, and Wang Kun, slowly turned to face Qin Mingjue.
"Even if I deplete my spiritual energy, what of it? You cannot save him." Qin Mingjue smiled upon seeing this. Although killing an Immortal realm existence required a considerable amount of spiritual energy, it was not a problem for Qin Mingjue.
He then attacked again, and a stream of spiritual light shot directly towards He Xiuzhu.
"No!"
