Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi immediately set off back to the Illusionary Sea Continent. Dragon Abyss Valley, where the Golden Dragon Clan resided, was their destination. Dragon Emperor Xuan Ye was their only hope.

Dragon Abyss Valley is shrouded in mist and clouds all year round, and is rich in spiritual energy. Golden dragons weave through the clouds, emitting bursts of dragon roars.

Inside the magnificent palace, Emperor Xuan Ye sat high on his throne. He looked at Lu Lingxi Yao and Nalan Rong Zhi who had entered, nodded slightly, and said in a steady tone, "You have arrived."

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor." Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi bowed respectfully.

"No need for formalities." Emperor Xuan Ye raised his hand, gesturing for them to rise. His gaze fell on the Purifying Lotus in Lu Lingxi Yao's hand. "This is the Purifying Lotus?"

“Exactly.” Lu Lingxi presented the Pure Lotus.

Emperor Xuan Ye took the Purifying Lotus, examined it carefully, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes. "It truly is a divine object." He handed the Purifying Lotus to the dragon elder beside him. "Let's begin."

The dragon elder took the Purifying Lotus and placed it in the center of a specially made array. The array was activated, and golden light enveloped the entire hall, causing the Purifying Lotus to emit a dazzling light.

Lan Yuan, who had been devoured by the power of darkness, was currently imprisoned in a crystal coffin. His face was as pale as paper, and black mist swirled around him, making him appear to be on the verge of death.

As the light of the Purifying Lotus grew brighter, the black aura on Lan Yuan's body began to dissipate. However, at that moment, a powerful dark force suddenly erupted from Lan Yuan's body, instantly suppressing the light of the Purifying Lotus. The crystal coffin trembled violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"Oh no! The dark power has backfired!" The dragon elder's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in alarm.

A look of seriousness flashed in Emperor Xuan Ye's eyes. He immediately took action, injecting a golden dragon aura into the formation in an attempt to suppress the dark power. However, the dark power was extremely stubborn, and no matter how hard Emperor Xuan Ye tried, he could not eliminate it.

"Yao Yao, use your spiritual power!" Nalan Rongzhi said to Lu Lingxi Yao immediately upon seeing this.

Without hesitation, Lu Lingxi Yao immediately mobilized all her spiritual power and poured it into the formation. She possessed all types of spiritual power and was a rare all-elemental spiritual master in the world. Her spiritual power was pure and powerful, enough to purify all the filth in the world.

As Lu Lingxi Yao infused her spiritual power, the light of the Purifying Lotus intensified once more, engaging in a fierce battle with the dark power. Inside the crystal coffin, Lan Yuan's body began to tremble violently, as if he were undergoing a painful transformation.

The atmosphere inside the hall was extremely tense. Everyone held their breath and dared not make a sound, for fear of disturbing this life-or-death purification ritual.

"Click——"

Just then, the crystal coffin suddenly emitted a crisp sound, and a thin crack appeared on the coffin lid. This sudden change made everyone present tense.

Lu Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them. She quickly withdrew her hand and watched the changes in the crystal coffin warily.

The cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire coffin lid like a spider web. The next moment, the coffin lid exploded, scattering fragments everywhere. A powerful dark force erupted instantly, sweeping across the entire hall.

"Be careful!" Nalan Rongzhi shouted, shielding Lu Lingxi Yao behind him while releasing powerful demonic energy to resist the impact of the dark power.

Dragon Emperor Xuan Ye reacted quickly, mobilizing all his spiritual power to form a shield that enveloped everyone.

However, this dark power was exceptionally strong, and it even showed a faint tendency to break through the defense. Lu Lingxi's eyes narrowed, and she quickly formed hand seals. Golden runes flew from her fingertips and merged into the Dragon Emperor Xuan Ye's shield, reinforcing the defense.

"Roar--"

A deafening roar came from the crystal coffin, followed by a black figure soaring into the sky and hovering in the center of the hall.

The figure was Lan Yuan, but at this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was ferocious, and his body was shrouded in even denser dark power, like a demon that had walked out of hell.

"Lanyuan!"

Lu Lingxi exclaimed in surprise, her heart filled with worry and fear. She never expected that the Purifying Lotus would not only fail to purify the dark power in Lan Yuan's body, but would instead plunge him into an even deeper state of demonic transformation.

"Hahaha..." Lan Yuan let out a sinister laugh, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, "Lu Lingxi Yao, Nalan Rongzhi, thank you for helping me break the seal. Now, I will become the ruler of this continent!"

Before he finished speaking, Lan Yuan launched a fierce attack on Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi. He waved his hands, and black demonic energy, like sharp blades, rushed towards the two of them.

Nalan Rongzhi snorted coldly and fearlessly went to meet them. The two instantly clashed, and the two demonic energies collided, creating a deafening sound.

Lu Lingxi was protected behind the Dragon Emperor Xuan Ye, but she did not stand idly by. She knew that Lan Yuan's strength had far surpassed theirs, and Nalan Rongzhi alone could not withstand him.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her worries and anxieties, and began preparing her strongest attack spell. Now was not the time to hesitate; she had to awaken Lan Yuan, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just then, Lan Yuan suddenly stopped attacking. He clutched his chest in pain and let out a shrill scream. His body began to tremble violently, and the black demonic energy became chaotic, as if something was struggling inside his body.

"What's going on?" Lu Lingxi was startled, not understanding what had happened.

Emperor Xuan Ye frowned and said in a deep voice, "It seems that what controls Lan Yuan is not just the power of darkness, but something else is at play."

Nalan Rongzhi's eyes flashed as they fell on Lan Yuan's pained and contorted face. He said coldly, "Perhaps it is Lan Yuan's remnant soul that is rebelling."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao felt a tremor in her heart. Lan Yuan, the sea monster prince who was so loyal to her, could he still retain a trace of consciousness?

Lan Yuan struggled in agony, his body seemingly torn in two, black demonic energy and faint blue light flashing alternately, as if two forces were engaged in a life-or-death struggle.

"Lan Yuan, is that you?" Lu Lingxi Yao couldn't help but ask, her voice trembling slightly.

Lan Yuan seemed to hear her call, and a slight softening appeared in his pained expression. A hint of confusion flashed in his crimson eyes, and he uttered a muffled whisper: "Master......"

Lu Lingxi was overjoyed. It seemed that Lan Yuan's consciousness was still intact. "Lan Yuan, hold on!" Her voice was like a clear spring, flowing into Lan Yuan's chaotic consciousness.

Lan Yuan's body trembled even more violently, the black demonic energy began to gradually recede, and the blue light grew stronger and stronger.

Upon seeing this, Nalan Rongzhi immediately stepped forward, his demonic energy transforming into a sharp blade that pierced straight into Lan Yuan's chest. He had to completely eliminate that evil power before Lan Yuan's remnant soul was completely devoured by the dark power.

"What are you doing!" Dragon Emperor Xuan Ye was shocked to see this and tried to stop Nalan Rongzhi, but it was too late.

Nalan Rongzhi's demonic blade pierced Lan Yuan's chest with precision. The black demonic energy surged out wildly like an enraged beast, trying to devour Nalan Rongzhi.

Just then, Lu Lingxiyao's slender fingers quickly formed hand seals. Spiritual energy surged around her, and multicolored light intertwined and shimmered around her. "Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Technique!" As Lu Lingxiyao finished chanting the incantation, a dazzling bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck Lan Yuan hard.

Lan Yuan's body slowly collapsed, and the black demonic energy completely dissipated, leaving only a faint blue light, like a firefly, floating in the air.

Lu Lingxi Yao flashed and instantly appeared beside Lan Yuan, supporting him. She looked down at the person in her arms and saw that his face was as pale as paper, his breath was weak, and his chest was heaving violently, obviously his injuries were very serious.

"Lan Yuan..." Lu Lingxi's voice trembled slightly as she called out softly. A surge of spiritual energy gathered at her fingertips and gently probed into Lan Yuan's body to carefully examine his injuries. As the spiritual energy flowed, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although Lan Yuan's injuries were serious, his life was not in danger.

Just then, Lan Yuan's fingers trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his tightly closed eyes. The black demonic energy in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a clear blue.

“Master…” Lan Yuan’s chapped lips parted slightly, uttering a sound as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, each word seemingly requiring all his strength.

"Lan Yuan, you're back!" A surge of joy instantly welled up in Lu Lingxi Yao's eyes. She tightly grasped Lan Yuan's hand, her voice filled with excitement and relief.

"Where...where am I?" Lan Yuan's gaze slowly swept over his surroundings, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

"We were in the Golden Dragon Clan, and it was His Majesty the Dragon Emperor who saved you with the Purifying Lotus!" Lu Lingxi explained, her tone filled with gratitude.

The Pure Lotus? The Dragon Emperor? Lan Yuan struggled to sort out his chaotic thoughts. Fragments of memory, like scattered puzzle pieces, were gradually pieced together. He remembered the pain of being devoured by dark power, the despair of his gradually fading consciousness, and Lu Lingxi's anxious calls...

He struggled to get up, but found himself weak and powerless. "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor..." he managed to utter a few words.

"Lan Yuan, how are you feeling?" Upon hearing this, Xuan Ye came to Lan Yuan's side and asked with concern, his tone tinged with relief.

Lan Yuan struggled to his feet and bowed deeply to Xuan Ye, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, for saving my life. I am deeply grateful!"

Xuan Ye reached out to help him up. "No need for formalities. You are Xi Yao's friend, so it is only right that I save you." He paused, his expression becoming somewhat solemn. "The sea monster clan and the merman clan are currently at war, and your father has also fallen ill. You should go back and see him as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this news, Lan Yuan's heart sank, and a strong sense of unease surged into his heart. He disregarded the fact that his body had not yet fully recovered and was eager to return to the Sea Demon Clan.

"Lan Yuan, you haven't fully recovered yet, you should rest for a few more days," Lu Lingxi Yao advised.

“Yes, Lan Yuan, the journey is long, and your current physical condition is not suitable for long-distance travel,” Nalan Rongzhi said, his tone tinged with worry.

Lan Yuan shook his head, his eyes resolute. "I must go back! My father is seriously ill, and the two clans are at war. I cannot stand idly by!" He took a deep breath, forcing himself to endure his weakness. "Thank you for your concern, Master and Young Master Nalan, but I must face all of this myself. It is my responsibility."

“In that case, we will go with you.” Looking at Lan Yuan’s determined eyes, Lu Lingxi said.

“Yes!” Nalan Rongzhi said briefly, a complex emotion flashing in his deep eyes.

Lan Yuan smiled slightly, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes, but then firmly shook his head: "Master, this is an internal matter of the Sea Demon Clan. I cannot let you get involved. Besides, you and Young Master Nalan have already helped me too much. If you hadn't found the Pure World Lotus, I'm afraid I would have already..."

“But your injuries haven’t fully healed yet.” Lu Lingxi frowned.

“I know my limits,” Lan Yuan said solemnly. “This is my mission and my responsibility, Master. Please let me face all of this alone.”

Nalan Rongzhi glanced at Lu Lingxi Yao and said softly, "Let him go."

Lu Lingxi Yao was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "In that case, be careful. If you need anything, send a message anytime."

"Thank you for your understanding, Master." Lan Yuan bowed deeply to everyone. "I will remember your life-saving grace! Farewell!" After saying that, he turned around and transformed into a blue light, disappearing into the horizon.
