Mu Yunjin had originally kicked open the stone door without restraint, but at the moment she did so, a flash of green light suddenly appeared in the secret dungeon, and her body was pulled forcefully to a corner.
When Qin Muyue and the others saw the stone door kicked open, they instinctively looked toward the entrance, but saw no one there.
At this moment, Jiang Qingxue in the dungeon suddenly emitted a green light all over her body.
Yang Qingning, seeing Jiang Qingxue’s reaction, frowned. When her dagger fell again and just touched the green light, her entire arm was pushed back.
“Clang—”
The dagger fell to the ground.
Yang Qingning clutched her arm in pain and looked toward Qin Muyue. “Miss Qin, what’s happening?”
How could Jiang Qingxue, who looked so weak, still have the power to counter-attack?
Qin Muyue narrowed her eyes, looking at the green light dispersing around them, clenched her fists tightly, and secretly sighed—this was no ordinary light; it was spiritual energy.
…
…
Damn it!
Outside the stone door, Mu Yunjin was pulled into a corner, wrapped in a warm embrace. Smelling the familiar fragrance from the embrace, Mu Yunjin knew without looking back who had pulled her away.
At this moment, Mu Yunjin huddled in Chu Li’s arms, listening to the dialogue from the stone door, frowned, and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li lowered his voice, leaned close to Mu Yunjin’s ear, and whispered, “Let’s take a look.”
Mu Yunjin nodded, and the two quietly walked forward, watching the situation inside when those in the stone room weren’t paying attention.
…
Qin Muyue slowly walked toward Jiang Qingxue, her fingertips gradually gathering dark purple light, gritting her teeth as she looked at Jiang Qingxue, who was staring at her.
“Anyone related to Mu Yunjin deserves to die!” Qin Muyue coldly looked at Jiang Qingxue.
Jiang Qingxue sat slumped on the ground, the green light around her passing over Qin Muyue’s body.
Outside the door, when the green spiritual energy crossed Qin Muyue’s body, Mu Yunjin’s eyes suddenly widened, her body trembling uncontrollably as she stared at Qin Muyue’s face…
Leng Yuan…
What’s going on…
Why did Leng Yuan’s face suddenly flash across Qin Muyue’s scarred face just now…
Mu Yunjin bit her lower lip, staring carefully at Qin Muyue, and once again saw Leng Yuan’s face flash by.
Could it be…
Was Qin Muyue the reincarnation of Leng Yuan?
Thinking of this possibility, Mu Yunjin’s eyes immediately reddened, murderous intent overflowing in her pupils as the unbearable memories resurfaced in her mind—
“Leng Yuan, was it you who slandered me before the Heavenly Emperor, causing him to order my arrest along with Si Qing to be tried in the celestial prison?” Fu Huan, covered in wounds, slumped on the ground, looking angrily at the high and mighty Leng Yuan before her.
The previous incident at the hot springs—she could only console herself that Leng Yuan was joking with her, that she was too foolish to enter the hot springs.
But this time, she truly couldn’t trust her sister anymore.
Leng Yuan sat by the lotus pond. Hearing Fu Huan’s words, she merely chuckled, “That’s right, I went to the Heavenly Emperor, I asked the Heavenly Emperor to execute you both!”
“You…” Fu Huan was so angry she didn’t know what to say. The person before her was her sister, the person she trusted most!
“Fu Huan, although you’re my little sister, you’ve stolen too much of my limelight. I, Leng Yuan, have never tolerated anyone riding above me. Be good, listen to your sister, stay obediently in the celestial prison, and your sister will visit you often.” Leng Yuan smiled at Fu Huan, reaching out her hand to touch Fu Huan’s face.
Hearing this, Fu Huan turned her face away. “Leng Yuan, do you love Si Qing?”
“Yes, I do!” Leng Yuan didn’t deny it. “However, he was blind enough to fall in love with you, so I might as well destroy you both!”
As Leng Yuan finished speaking, her smile grew increasingly intense.
After laughing, Leng Yuan summoned several shadow guards and looked at Fu Huan, narrowing her eyes. “Cut her tendons, destroy her spiritual root, and throw her into the celestial prison!”
…
As Mu Yunjin recalled Leng Yuan’s cruel face from the past, she clenched her fists tightly, bit her lip hard, and stared at Qin Muyue’s face inside the stone door.
Qin Muyue, Leng Yuan…
Finally, Mu Yunjin could no longer contain her suppressed emotions. She broke free from Chu Li’s embrace and rushed into the stone door, her phoenix-tail whip striking directly at Qin Muyue.
Qin Muyue knew Mu Yunjin had come to Fengyue Cliff, but hadn’t expected her to find their location so quickly.
Seeing Mu Yunjin attack immediately, Qin Muyue instinctively dodged.
Mu Yunjin truly treated Qin Muyue as Leng Yuan, her attacks fierce, her eyes wanting to tear Qin Muyue into pieces.
Qin Muyue thought Mu Yunjin was seeking revenge for Jiang Qingxue. Plus, the last time they had agreed to a fight to the death, they were interrupted midway. Now, Qin Muyue also hardened her heart and used all her strength.
“Clang clang…”
During the battle, the Red Phoenix flew out from Mu Yunjin’s back.
The blazing red light illuminated the room.
Seeing this, Qin Muyue also noticed the Ink Qilin sitting to the side, watching the battle. Sensing trouble, she stared directly at Mu Yunjin. “Today is a good opportunity; we can finally determine a winner between us!”
“Heh, enough talk, die!” Mu Yunjin’s eyes were blood-red, every move and technique from the Xuanling True Scripture imprinted in her mind.
On the other side, Qiqi finally found the entrance. When she stepped in, she saw Mu Yunjin and Qin Muyue already fighting. Looking around, those suspended in the secret dungeon were none other than Hua Ying and the others!
Seeing this, Qiqi reached out without hesitation to cut those iron chains, but Shen Wanning darted out from the side and struck at Qiqi.
“Awooo…”
“Clang clang…”
The Ink Qilin and Red Phoenix instantly flew in front of Qiqi, helping her block Shen Wanning.
“Thanks, you little darlings. Still, we beasts know how to care for each other…” Qiqi winked at the Ink Qilin and Red Phoenix, then flew up.
Shen Wanning, being stared at by the Ink Qilin and Red Phoenix, stepped back slightly, feeling somewhat terrified.
On the other side, Yang Qingning, watching these scenes, collapsed to the ground in fear, having no idea what kind of monsters the Ink Qilin and Red Phoenix were.
And that woman from earlier—she was in human form, so why did she have cat ears and cat paws…
Suddenly, she felt she had made a mistake.
How could she have been so rash as to step into such a terrifying circle?
“Bang…”
Just as she finished thinking, a palm wind came from beside her, suddenly shattering a rock face.
Shen Wanning’s heart trembled as she cautiously looked at the people around her and slowly moved her body toward the direction of the door.
Chu Li didn’t take Shen Wanning seriously at all, his gaze constantly fixed on Mu Yunjin, afraid that she might falter and allow Qin Muyue to gain the upper hand.
Earlier, outside the stone door, when he held her, he felt the suppressed emotions within her body and her slight trembling.
Although he didn’t know what emotions she was suppressing, he didn’t interfere, allowing her to do what she wanted.
…
After Hua Ying and the others were lowered by Qiqi, she immediately transferred some true energy to them.
“How are you all? Are you okay?” Qiqi gently patted Hua Ying’s face and looked at Lei Yan and the others.
Hua Ying slowly opened her eyes, feeling dizzy. After looking at her surroundings for a while, she finally remembered what had happened.
Involuntarily, she grabbed Qiqi’s wrist. “Qin Muyue sealed our internal energy and trapped us here. Also, the Emperor of Bei Ming is in trouble…”
“It’s all right now, we’ve taken care of it.” Qiqi frowned, not expecting that the people on the Bei Ming mission would encounter such major trouble.
To the side, Jiang Qingxue sat on the ground, the green light around her gradually weakening as she watched Mu Yunjin fighting with Qin Muyue, her emotions complex.
…
Both Mu Yunjin and Qin Muyue possessed dual cultivation powers, so for a time, neither gained the upper hand in their battle.
However, Qin Muyue felt her body gradually weakening.
After a long while, wanting to recover some strength, Qin Muyue began to dodge everywhere, constantly moving around the dungeon.
Mu Yunjin narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to block Qin Muyue’s retreat.
Suddenly, without an escape route, Qin Muyue’s face darkened. She took several breaths, her eyes narrowing dangerously, her expression becoming even more grave.
Mu Yunjin looked at Qin Muyue, her mind filled with the image of Fu Huan’s tendons being cut. That bone-deep, blood-melting pain she could never forget.
With that thought, murderous energy surged around Mu Yunjin. Her whip swung, tinged with red light, striking directly toward Qin Muyue’s abdomen.
“Ah…”
The whip suddenly penetrated Qin Muyue’s abdomen.
Qin Muyue screamed, unable to dodge in time, her face contorted with pain as she clutched her abdomen tightly.
When Mu Yunjin was about to deliver a second strike, Qin Muyue could no longer bear it and began to dodge…
Mu Yunjin would not let Qin Muyue escape again. Her wrist flicked, the phoenix-tail whip flying out to form a huge circle in the air, surrounding Qin Muyue.
“Tighten!”
At Mu Yunjin’s command, the phoenix-tail whip gradually constricted.
Seeing the whip getting smaller and smaller, looking as if it would break her waist, Qin Muyue panicked. She immediately gathered all her true energy and flew upward.
Seeing this, Mu Yunjin confronted her directly, raising a palm aimed at Qin Muyue…
“Bang…”
“Bang bang…”
Several huge explosive sounds rang out, accompanied by tremors in the ground.
With a “boom,” almost everyone in the stone room felt darkness before their eyes, followed by their bodies plummeting into an endless dark abyss.
…
“Ah…”
“Ahh…”
Accompanied by several screams, everyone only felt a dazzling light flash before their eyes, followed by their bodies landing on flat ground with a thud.
“Ouch…” Qiqi wailed, feeling as if every bone in her body had been shattered.
Nearby, Mu Yunjin also fell to the ground. When falling to the flat ground, she instinctively rolled once to reduce the impact of the fall.
After regaining her senses, Mu Yunjin sat up and looked around, her eyes showing some shock.
Where was this?
Weren’t they just in the stone cave of Fengyue Cliff?
Why did everything suddenly go dark, accompanied by a feeling of falling?
And now, the sun was shining brightly all around them, birds were singing, and flowers were fragrant. There were mountains, waters, and waterfalls. Had they left the cave of Fengyue Cliff?
