Chaos erupted in the Divine Continent.

After being pierced in the back by Lengyuan’s sword, Mu Yunjin’s face turned deathly pale from the pain. She wanted to counterattack but, for some inexplicable reason, all her power was suppressed. At this moment, she couldn’t execute a single move.

“Yunjin, are you alright?” Seeing this, Jiang Qingxue quickly ran to Mu Yunjin’s side and supported her.

Mu Yunjin took several deep breaths, turned around, and looked at Lengyuan with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.

Lengyuan’s lips curled into a smile, “Huan’er, didn’t sister tell you? Whether in your past life or this one, you will never be a match for me, Lengyuan.”

Imperial Tutor An watched this scene from the side. Earlier, the rest of them had been at some distance from Mu Yunjin. By the time they sensed trouble and tried to run over, it was already too late.

He hadn’t expected that Mu Yunjin would be unable to dodge.

Supported by Jiang Qingxue, Mu Yunjin tried several times to mobilize her true energy, but regardless of the method she used, she still couldn’t gather any true energy.

The wound on her back burned like fire. In just a brief moment, she felt her entire strength draining away, becoming so weak that she could barely stand.

“Take her up the snow mountain first. I’ll hold them off here for a while,” Imperial Tutor An frowned, glancing at Jiang Qingxue.

Jiang Qingxue nodded and supported Mu Yunjin, preparing to leave.

After just a few steps, a gentle breeze flashed around them, and four figures descended from the sky, blocking Mu Yunjin’s path.

Black Robe Feng Lan, Daoist Qiuye, Chu Qing, and Shen Wanning.

Seeing these four suddenly appear, Imperial Tutor An imperceptibly frowned, silently thinking this was bad.

With Mu Yunjin injured and both Chu Li and Wind Xuan absent, it would be truly difficult to confront these people.

Seeing these four arrive, Lengyuan withdrew her sword and sneered, “You lot, keep them entertained for a while. As for Fu… oh no, Mu Yunjin, just leave her alive for me to deal with!”

Although Black Robe and the others were dissatisfied with being led by the nose by Lengyuan, they had been observing from the shadows for a long time and had to admit that this woman had real skills.

At least they had never gained any advantage over Mu Yunjin, yet this woman had injured her with just one strike.

But now the opportunity was excellent. Although they were somewhat wary of Kong Shi, he was outnumbered, and the others were hardly worth worrying about.

They now had the advantage of timing, terrain, and people.

Mu Yunjin felt like she was going mad. Of all the things she had calculated, she hadn’t anticipated that her powers would disappear.

Could it be related to those red seven stars?

She had lost too much blood and was now seeing stars, feeling like she might collapse at any moment. With these additional people appearing, it was truly adding frost to snow.

“Qiqi,” Jiang Qingxue turned to look at Qiqi.

Qiqi, who was preparing for battle, froze and looked at Jiang Qingxue.

“You and Lei Yan find a way to take Yunjin out of the Divine Continent first,” Jiang Qingxue transmitted a secret message to Qiqi.

Qiqi pressed her lips together, nodded slightly, walked to Jiang Qingxue’s side, and took Mu Yunjin.

Lei Yan also came over.

Imperial Tutor An had heard the secret message Jiang Qingxue sent to Qiqi, so he also transmitted a secret message to Qiqi.

Then, he silently gripped the small wooden tube filled with explosives in his palm.

In front of them, Black Robe, Qiuye, and the others had not yet discovered anything unusual and impatiently pounced toward them.

Imperial Tutor An narrowed his eyes and quickly threw a small wooden stick.

Seeing this object, Black Robe and Qiuye’s expressions tensed, and they immediately dodged away.

“Bang bang bang…”

The sound of explosions erupted, accompanied by rolling thick smoke.

By the time the smoke gradually dispersed, Mu Yunjin was long gone.

“Brother Lan, Mu Yunjin has escaped!” Shen Wanning, seeing no one around, frowned.

Then she added, “That purple-clad lady is also gone…”

Chu Qing stood to the side, watching the scene that had just unfolded, his lips curling into a cold smile, “That purple-clad lady has probably gone after Mu Yunjin.”

Qiuye snorted. Although his face showed displeasure, in his heart, he felt somewhat elated. When had they ever seen that vixen Mu Yunjin have to flee?

“Kong Shi, you could have been content as the Imperial Tutor of South Court Nation. Why did you have to meddle with that vixen Mu Yunjin?” Qiuye turned his gaze to Imperial Tutor An, his eyes full of mockery.

Imperial Tutor An responded with a cold laugh, “And what about you? That young lady had no grudge against you before, yet you believed the words of your precious female disciple and went all out to destroy her. How dare you accuse me of meddling?”

“You…” Qiuye’s eyes widened, his expression darkening, “She possesses the Phoenix Female’s body and deserves to die!”

“Huh!” Imperial Tutor An’s eyes were full of disdain.

Black Robe, watching from the side, sized up the remaining few and narrowed his eyes, looking at Qiuye, “Stop wasting words with them. Such an excellent opportunity cannot be missed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Robe took the lead with a palm strike directly targeting Imperial Tutor An’s face.

The chaotic battle immediately erupted.

Qiqi and Lei Yan had taken advantage of the explosive chaos earlier to take Mu Yunjin toward the entrance of Wind Moon Cliff.

But they hadn’t gone far when a powerful surge of true energy came from behind. Turning around, they saw Lengyuan had caught up.

“This is bad. Qiqi, take Master away first. I’ll hold her off for a while,” Lei Yan glanced at Qiqi, then turned back toward Lengyuan.

Lengyuan’s face was grim as she gritted her teeth, “Fu Huan, do you think at this point I would still let you go easily?”

“In half an hour, the red seven stars will reappear. At that time, I will exchange souls with you. From then on, it will be my soul, Lengyuan’s, within your skin!”

“I want to see if Si Qing loves your body or your soul! But no matter how he chooses, I, Lengyuan, will stand between you two! Hahaha!”

Lengyuan laughed like a lunatic.

Soul exchange?

Hearing these words, Mu Yunjin’s eyes showed a momentary blankness, and her body weakened, nearly falling to the ground.

Struggling to maintain consciousness, Mu Yunjin looked at the celestial phenomenon. What exactly were these red seven stars?

Half an hour, about one hour…

Mu Yunjin’s eyes flickered as she glanced at the distance to Wind Moon Cliff’s entrance.

Lengyuan couldn’t leave the Divine Continent. She needed to find a way to leave this place within half an hour.

But now her internal power was unusable, and she was wounded by the sword energy. What could she do?

Mu Yunjin pressed her lips together and suddenly remembered something.

She had the Snow Spirit Pill with her…

The miraculous medicine of South Court Nation that could bring the dead back to life!

Thinking of this, Mu Yunjin’s eyes brightened, and she instinctively reached to cover her waist. But in the next second, she hesitated.

Not to mention that this Snow Spirit Pill was incredibly precious, with only one pill.

If she swallowed the Snow Spirit Pill and healed the wound, but her powers still didn’t recover, she would still be at a disadvantage against Lengyuan. Then she would have wasted the Snow Spirit Pill for nothing.

With this thought, Mu Yunjin gritted her teeth and continued to endure.

“Fu Huan, have you resigned yourself to your fate?” Lengyuan, seeing Mu Yunjin standing motionless with a pale face, showed mockery in her eyes.

“If I had resigned myself to fate, my soul would have scattered long ago. I wouldn’t have endured until today,” Mu Yunjin spoke softly, giving a light laugh.

Lengyuan smiled, “Even now, you’re still so stubborn.”

Qiqi and Lei Yan, watching this war of words, both had ominous feelings. They exchanged a glance, nodded in tacit understanding, and rushed in front of Lengyuan. Without a word, they both began attacking her.

“Master, run quickly!”

Mu Yunjin frowned slightly and ran toward Wind Moon Cliff.

As she ran, Mu Yunjin was using almost all of her willpower. She had to find a way to break the spell of the red seven stars within half an hour.

She absolutely could not let Lengyuan take over her body.

If she couldn’t find a method within half an hour, she would rather die!

By the time she reached the entrance of Wind Moon Cliff, the blood from Mu Yunjin’s back had soaked through her clothes and flowed down. With each step she took, she left a bloody footprint.

Mu Yunjin also felt that her strength had reached its limit. She stumbled and fell to the ground.

As she fell, the wound on her back tore open again, sending a heart-piercing, flesh-carving pain that made Mu Yunjin, who was about to lose consciousness, feel somewhat more awake from the pain.

Mu Yunjin bit her lip tightly and sat up from the ground, her fingertips trying to mobilize spiritual power…

But no matter what method she used, she couldn’t draw out even a trace of spiritual power. Unable to gather spiritual power meant she couldn’t open the sealed door of Wind Moon Cliff.

Mu Yunjin’s brow furrowed more and more tightly, and her consciousness was gradually slipping away.

She really couldn’t hold on much longer.

Just before losing consciousness, Mu Yunjin finally couldn’t resist and took out the Snow Spirit Pill from her bosom.

Before she could take out the Snow Spirit Pill, a small pearl fell out of her bosom.

Mu Yunjin looked at it—it was the pearl that Fish Grandmother had specifically given her to keep with her.

With this thought, Mu Yunjin immediately picked up the pearl. As she was about to put it back in her bosom, Lengyuan’s voice sounded again from the side, “Fu Huan, you can’t escape!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lengyuan was standing in front of Mu Yunjin.

Before Mu Yunjin could speak, Lengyuan’s eyes glanced down, her gaze falling on Mu Yunjin’s clenched hand.

“What are you holding in your hand?” Lengyuan asked urgently.

If she hadn’t seen wrong, she had seen a faint white light flash in Mu Yunjin’s palm just now.

Seeing that Lengyuan had her eyes on the pearl, Mu Yunjin’s expression tensed. She quickly raised her hand and swallowed the pearl into her stomach.

Whatever Fish Grandmother had given her, although she didn’t know its use, it must be extremely important and could not fall into Lengyuan’s hands under any circumstances.

Seeing Mu Yunjin swallow the object, Lengyuan quickly walked to her, bent down, and reached out to grip Mu Yunjin’s shoulder, “Spit it out!”

Mu Yunjin laughed lightly and ignored her.

“I said spit it out!” With that, Lengyuan was about to reach for Mu Yunjin’s chin.

As she reached out, the dagger Mu Yunjin had been hiding in her sleeve flashed out, swift as lightning, slashing toward Lengyuan’s fair hand.

“Swish…”

The dagger was so fast that Lengyuan, in her haste, was caught off guard. It pierced straight through her palm, blood splashing.

“Now, we’re even,” Mu Yunjin smiled. At this critical moment, she had to admire herself—barely alive, yet still able to deliver a strike to Lengyuan.

Lengyuan looked at her palm pierced by the dagger, her eyes instantly turning blood-red. She viciously pulled the dagger out of her palm and glared at Mu Yunjin—

“Fu Huan, you’re seeking death!”

With those words, the blood-stained dagger in her palm swung toward Mu Yunjin’s heart.

“Awooo…”

The roar of a qilin resounded.
