The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

"What should we do, brother? Father has been in a coma for almost half a month. Let's go find our benefactor."

"No." Yu Junlin's expression darkened. "We still don't know what the Hua family will do next, so how can we let her come here? Her safety is the most important thing."

Yu Lanyue paused, "But father... forget it, the Hua family's motives are not pure. Not letting our benefactor come here can be considered as protecting him."

Suddenly, Yu Junlin thought of something, and his eyes flashed with a strange color and determination, "Lanyue, you stay by your father's side every step of the way, I will be back soon."

"Hey, brother!" Before Yu Lanyue finished speaking, she only saw Yu Junlin leaving.

……

"Master, your guess is correct! The Hua Clan just ordered a halt to mineral mining and told us all to wait. They say they're going to have a duel among the major factions to decide the winner. Each faction has sent a large number of people, and even us 'miners' are going to participate."

Ye Wanqing's expression remained unchanged, as if she had already heard the news. "According to your estimate, what is the maximum number of people?"

"It is said that one faction takes the first, middle, and last place players, each with 15 people. Excluding the Yu family who abstained, there are nine factions in total, which means 135 people."

"Huh, what a big deal."

Ye Wanqing lowered her eyes and stirred the tea in the celadon cup on the table. Her jade-colored fingertips turned slightly white. Although she didn't look up, she gave people a sense of coldness for no reason.

Using the vitality and blood of one hundred and thirty-five people as the guide, the great formation of summoning demons from outside the sky domain was activated.

The Hua family's move this time is to make everyone a stepping stone for them to become the overlord.

Jiang Xu raised his eyes slightly, obviously thinking of that point, "Master, what do you mean?"

"Of course, the formation was destroyed."

She was not interested in the lives of these 135 people, nor was it enough for her to spend more of her attention.

But this matter happened to involve the demons from outside the celestial realm. Whether she was fulfilling her master's orders or following her own destiny, the dragon girl's luck and power would destroy her.

Furthermore, her spiritual practice has been stagnant for a long time. If she can stop the demon from the celestial realm this time, her spiritual practice luck will also be greatly improved.

Hearing Ye Wanqing's answer without hesitation, Jiang Xu's peach blossom eyes, which were originally full of warmth, flashed with a strange look.

"Master, are you really going to destroy this formation? Logically speaking, the lives and safety of everyone in this secretive force, except the Yu family, have nothing to do with us. Do we really want to get involved in this mess? Didn't you always teach me not to worry about things that don't concern us?"

Ye Wanqing raised her eyes, narrowing them slightly as she looked at Jiang Xu with a strange glint in her eyes. Her fingertips tightly gripped the teacup, her knuckles gleaming with the luster of cold porcelain. "That's true, but Jiang Xu, you should understand why I'm doing this."

"Master, if... well, I mean if, if the demons from the outer realm of the sky really come to the Three Realms one day, will you really go to war with them? Do you really have no other choice?"

Jiang Xu raised his eyes and looked at Ye Wanqing. There was a hint of hope hidden deep in his eyes, but he hid it well.

Ye Wanqing gently put down the hand holding the teacup and looked up. The dragon mark belonging to the Destined Dragon Girl on her forehead was faintly visible in front of Jiang Xu. The crimson mark seemed to burn a sharp edge on her cold jade-like face.

She stared at Jiang Xu with a cold gaze, but her last words were like a blade tempered with ice, "Only one of you, the outer demon of the Heaven Realm or me, can survive."

Jiang Xu's eyes froze for a moment, then he quickly lowered his head, "Okay, Master, I understand. I will definitely follow you unconditionally."

And just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by several cautious voices.

"Xiangyang, Xiangchi, are you asleep?"

Jiang Xu came back to his senses, met Ye Wanqing's gaze, nodded slightly, opened the door, and a figure slipped in.

"Huh...so scary."

Looking at Li Hua, who seemed to have not yet recovered from the shock, Jiang Xu's eyes flickered slightly, "So it's the eldest brother of the Li family. What's the matter with us brothers so late at night?"

"It's because you didn't complete your mission in the evening, so your food was withheld by that group. We are not like those high-level spiritual practitioners who can fast. I was worried that you were hungry, so I came to give you some steamed buns."

Looking at the steamed buns being carefully taken out in front of him, Jiang Xu was speechless for a moment, "Well, we two brothers really thank you."

"Thank you, Brother Li."

"No, no, in that case, I'll leave first."

Jiang Xu felt the steamed bun in his hand was a little heavy. When he looked at Ye Wanqing, he heard her say softly, "Please keep this bun."

At the same time, the Wen family was also discussing the outcome of this competition.

Wen Xun, who was sitting in the main seat, listened to what Wen Yuanzhou said, and his expression gradually became heavy.

"If that's the case, then we have to take winning or losing in this arena seriously."
