So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

The killers scattered like stray dogs, causing Jiuan to look around, trying to find the mysterious savior.

She cupped her hands and spoke loudly.

"Thank you for your help, would you please show yourself?"

There was a hint of urgency and anticipation in her voice.

However, the voice simply sounded again, with a barely perceptible smile.

"Miss Ling Wu, I am here on a mission and cannot show up. You and your friends can go forward without any worries. If you encounter a life-threatening situation, I will help you."

Ling Jiuan frowned, his heart full of doubts.

"Entrusted by someone? Who is that person? Why would he help me?"

She looked around, but saw nothing.

She turned to look at Chen Yan, her brows furrowed.

"Are they from the Chen family? Have they discovered our whereabouts?"

Chen Yan shook his head, denying her guess.

"Impossible. If they were from the Chen family, they would definitely show up to meet us instead of hiding in the dark."

Ling Jiuan thought about it again and proposed another possibility.

"Could it be your eldest brother? He might have known about our situation, so he sent people to help."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes and analyzed it carefully.

"That's unlikely. If it was my eldest brother, he would probably show up instead of hiding like this."

The two looked at each other and both felt the complexity of the matter.

At this time, Chen Yan suddenly made a bold guess.

"Could it be the Lei Xiao Sect? Didn't Lei Tingyi go back? Didn't he always protect you before? Now..."

This made Jiuan thoughtful.

Is it Lei Tingyi who has always protected her?

But at this point, she couldn't waste too much time on this kind of thing.

She waved her hand, interrupting Chen Yan's speculation.

"Forget it. No matter who it is, we'll talk about it later. The most important thing now is to hurry on. We have to leave this place as soon as possible."

Having said that, she turned around and set out on the road ahead, with Chen Yan following closely behind her.

In the distance, Lei Shi and Remi stood side by side, their eyes both looking in the direction where Ling Jiuan left.

Lei Shi glanced at Remi beside him, a hint of curiosity and emotion flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but speak.

"Is this the person Junior Brother likes? He is really different."

Remi's expression was complicated, he felt both emotional and regretful.

"She has no spiritual roots and is in the foundation-building stage, but she dares to fight against a Yuanying master. She is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. Her courage and determination are truly admirable."

Lei Shi shook his head disapprovingly.

"Didn't you notice? In fact, her strength is enough to fight against the peak of the Golden Core. Her swordsmanship, body movements and combat wisdom all show her extraordinary talent. It's a pity that she has no spiritual roots, which limits her development. Otherwise, she will definitely become a genius of her generation."

Remi couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.

They all knew that not having spiritual roots meant being unable to cultivate to a higher level. This was an iron rule in the cultivation world.

"He is a natural talent, but unfortunately he has no spiritual roots."

Remi sighed again.

But such a person, no matter what, is not worthy of being the young master of Lei Xiao Sect.

I'm afraid that my junior brother's love will never be fulfilled.

After Heijin and his men fled the scene, his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

He was filled with confusion and resentment, not understanding why he was interrupted at the critical moment.

"Go check, is he from the Chen family?"

He gave the order coldly, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty.

However, one of his men soon came back to report.

"They are not from the Chen family. The Chen family only sent a few cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Moreover, they still haven't found Ling Jiuan and Chen Yan."

Heijin's expression became even uglier when he heard this.

He frowned tightly, his heart full of confusion and anxiety.

If it wasn't someone from the Chen family, then who would come to help Ling Jiuan at the critical moment?

The opponent's strength is far superior to his own.

He thought for a moment and gave the order again.

"Keep investigating. We must find out the identity of this person. I want to see who dares to go against me, Black Gold!"

Heijin knew that the appearance of this mysterious man would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of his mission.

Unexpectedly, he, a mere Nascent Soul stage, couldn’t even kill him.

Damn!

Ling Jiuan originally thought that after yesterday's setback, Heijin and others would stop, or at least temporarily give up hunting her down.

However, what she didn't expect was that she met Hei Jin and his group again early the next morning.

This time, Heijin seemed even more arrogant and domineering, and he sneered.

"This time, let's see who can save you! I had people check everything yesterday, and neither the Ling family nor the Chen family sent any experts. So the person we met yesterday must have been an accident. Humph, today, I, Hei Jin, will take your life!"

As he spoke, he moved and pounced towards Ling Jiuan like a ghost, the long sword in his hand carrying a sharp sword energy, aiming straight at her vital points.

Seeing this, Ling Jiuan was startled, but she did not retreat. Instead, she tightly gripped the Chiyu sword in her hand, ready to fight.

Both of them are experts in using swords, and their swords are flashing and full of sword energy.

Ling Jiuan swung out with his sword, barely blocking Heijin's attack. However, Heijin attacked him even more aggressively, with each of his swords carrying fierce murderous intent and powerful fluctuations of spiritual power.

Ling Jiuan did not dare to be negligent at all. She concentrated on dealing with Heijin's attack. The Chiyu sword in her hand was like her lifeline, protecting her closely.

She knew that she had to persevere, otherwise she would die at the hands of Hei Jin.

However, despite her best efforts, she still found it difficult to withstand the overwhelming attack from Kurokin.

Her physical strength was gradually depleting and her spiritual power was also rapidly draining away, but Hei Jin seemed to be getting braver and braver, and each sword was more ferocious than the previous one.

She gritted her teeth, used up her last bit of strength, and swung her sword at the black gold.

However, Hei Jin just smiled contemptuously, easily defused her attack, and slashed at her with a sword.

Ling Jiuan was unable to dodge and was cut by the sword energy, with blood staining her clothes red.

Heijin's eyes were full of coldness, and he raised his sword and slashed towards Ling Jiuan.

Of course

However, Ling Jiuan gritted his teeth, moved his body, and dodged Heijin's fierce attack like a ghost.

At this moment, a rusty iron sword suddenly flew out from the darkness, drew a strange arc in the air, and went straight into Heijin's chest.

Hei Jin's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

He looked down at the rusty iron sword on his chest. Blood slowly flowed down the sword, staining his clothes red.

"Who...who is this?"

Hei Jin spoke with difficulty, his voice filled with fear and unwillingness.

He didn't expect that at this critical moment, someone would come to rescue Ling Jiuan.
