System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyu rolled her eyes at Wang Ye, raised her hand, and with a sharp "smack," gave him a solid tap on the forehead: "What kind of time is this to be spouting nonsense! This place is no place to stay any longer, let's get out of here!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Jiang Linglong.

Although Jiang Linglong is the youngest junior sister among the three, she inherited her master Chen Xuan's ultimate sword technique, making her the strongest fighter among the three.

Therefore, the two of them would consult with her before making any decisions.

Jiang Linglong's phoenix eyes were fixed on the distant battle, then swept over the stunningly beautiful fairy in white robes standing with her hands behind her back in the void. Her fingertips clenched slightly, and she shook her head gently: "No." Her voice was clear and resolute, carrying an undeniable determination.

"We fought tooth and nail to reach the gates of Phoenix City. If we retreat now, wouldn't all our previous plans have been for nothing?"

“The development of the Zhengyi Sect has reached a bottleneck. If we can take over this quasi-sacred city, the sect will be able to establish itself and will surely become more and more prosperous in the future.” She raised her eyes, her eyes burning with fervent light. “This will not have failed our master’s careful cultivation of us.”

Upon hearing this, the hesitation in Wang Ye and Zhang Lingyu's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by the same firmness, and they nodded in unison.

Although the two felt an immense pressure from Han Jiuling and Xia Jiuyou, they figured that the two were not enemies, given their actions of killing You Ran Shenchao Tianxian and rescuing them. So they decided to wait and see before making any further moves.

Sure enough, in just ten breaths, the two Heavenly Immortals of the Leisurely Dynasty who fought desperately were pierced one after another by Han Jiuling's dragon spear.

His dragon spear pierced the air, its tip flashing with a cold light. Each thrust was accompanied by a spray of blood mist and a scream of unwilling despair. In the blink of an eye, the two celestial beings were annihilated.

On his way back, he made a backhand gesture, and the unclaimed immortal-grade warship transformed into a streak of light, which he then put into his sleeve.

Only then did Han Jiuling and Xia Jiuyou slowly turn their heads, their gazes locking onto Jiang Linglong, Wang Ye, and Zhang Lingyu like cold blades.

The two exuded an aura of immortality, their robes fluttering in the air, and their invisible pressure caused the surrounding air currents to stagnate.

Just as the two were pondering how to strike up a conversation with these three juniors, Chen Xuan's voice transmission suddenly rang in their minds.

After hearing the instructions, Han Jiuling and Xia Jiuyou exchanged a glance. Although a hint of confusion flashed in their eyes, they did not ask any further questions, and their expressions instantly turned cold.

Xia Jiuyou parted her lips slightly, her gaze as sharp as ice blades as she stared directly at Jiang Linglong. Her tone was icy cold, and a murderous intent was evident in her voice: "To so wantonly provoke war in the Nine Nether Realm, do you really think the Nine Nether Realm is without jurisdiction? You three juniors, why don't you surrender and await your fate!"

Han Jiuling was even more direct. With a flick of his hand, the Dragon Spear hummed and vibrated, its tip pointing directly at the three of them. He shouted sharply, "Juniors, surrender now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and bullying the weak!"

Jiang Linglong, Wang Ye, and Zhang Lingyu were completely dumbfounded.

What's happening here?

They were the ones who saved us just now, so why are they now accusing us?

Wang Ye and Zhang Lingyu were already seriously injured from being surrounded and attacked. Now, facing cultivators of this level, their blood and qi surged, and they were powerless to resist.

Jiang Linglong reacted very quickly. She knew that even if she used all her trump cards, she would still be no match for the two of them.

But she was absolutely unwilling to watch her two senior brothers be captured—she was confident that if she wanted to protect them and help them escape, few in this world could stop her.

"Hmph, you're not worthy."

Jiang Linglong flipped her hand, and the two cyan divine swords transformed into streams of light and were stored in her storage magic treasure. Then she waved her hand back.

Whoosh—

Three Daoist talismans gleaming with a purple-gold divine light appeared out of thin air, covered with intricate Daoist patterns, emanating an extremely terrifying aura.

With a flick of her finger, two Daoist talismans flew like nimble snakes into Zhang Lingyu and Wang Ye's hands.

Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them simultaneously channeled their magical power into the talisman.

boom!
