Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Xiao Luo raised an eyebrow. "Looks like he really is your lover. You're so angry that you've even ruined someone else's house."

"What did that person say? Xue Niang seems to have gone mad." Yuan Ying frowned slightly as he looked at the emotions in Xue Niang's eyes.

He knew it all too well; it was hatred... But why would Xue Niang hate this man?

In order to avoid being discovered, Jing Shu stayed relatively close to them, so he couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

"Xue Niang's Daoist partner died at the hands of an evil cultivator," Jing Shu said in a low voice.

"This must be the person who killed her Daoist partner."

While Jing Shu and Yuan Ying were talking, Xue Niang was seriously injured and collapsed to the ground once again.

Xiao Luo had lost patience to continue teasing Xue Niang.

"I'm done playing. I have things to do. I won't carve my name on your face this time. Anyway, when you meet your lover after you die, you'll still see my name."

Xue Niang leaned against the ruins, coldly watching Xiao Luo approach her. If he took a few more steps closer, she would take him with her to die!

Three...two...

"Here you are," Jing Shu said calmly.

Before Xue Niang could unleash her cultivation, a beautiful figure instantly appeared in front of her.

Xue Niang stared wide-eyed in disbelief, hurriedly stopping the flow of spiritual energy within her body. Forcibly halting this flow caused her spiritual energy to reverse, and she involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood.

But Xue Niang didn't have time to care about all that. "Yu Rou?! What are you doing here?!"

Lin Yuru did not answer Xue Niang's question, but instead took out another talisman and threw it at Xiao Luo.

Although Xiao Luo was surprised by the sudden appearance of the woman, he didn't take the flimsy talisman seriously at all.

"It's just a spirit-storing talisman, isn't it?" Xiao Luo raised his hand to cut the talisman into pieces with his spiritual power, but the moment the talisman lit up, he realized something was wrong.

But there's no escaping it!

A tremendous spiritual power emerged from the talisman, with black and white intertwining and colliding, finally exploding on Xiao Luo's body.

Even though Xiao Luo managed to erect a spiritual energy barrier in time, it shattered in an instant. Xiao Luo was also thrown back hundreds of meters by the huge impact of the spiritual energy and finally crashed into a house.

Explosive Talisman 2.0! Originating from Jing You's idea, Jing Shu and the Nascent Soul combined two opposing spiritual energies and sealed it within a spirit-storing talisman. While not as powerful as the combination of multiple opposing spiritual energies generated by Jing You, the amount they added was significantly greater!

"Oh, so you pulled this stunt behind my back? I can understand giving her a teleportation talisman, but we only made a few of these explosive talismans, and you just gave them to her like that?" the Nascent Soul said irritably.

"This talisman is the weakest among the ones we've crafted; it shouldn't be a problem to blast that man half-injured."

This was, after all, in the city, but it was only because it was a commercial area and deserted at night that Jing Shu dared to give out this card. If it were any other card, he was afraid Lin Yuru might misuse it and blow up Huacheng.

"Also, knowing you'd come out to watch the show, isn't this just leaving you something to see?" Jing Shu said helplessly.

"Then why don't you just go and help Xue Niang kill the person directly? Why go through all this trouble? Are you bored?" The Nascent Soul wasn't dwelling on the talisman, but was quite puzzled by this.

“We’re just outsiders, and we can only help for a while. If she wants to die, we can’t stop her. We can only ask her closest relatives to stop her. After this, do you think Xue Niang will still be thinking about dying every day?” Jing Shu explained.

"You're really that kind? Not only are you helping people solve this problem, but you're also helping them with their psychological issues?" Yuan Ying asked, arms crossed.

Jing Shu coughed lightly twice, "Even if we have the recipe for Drunken Immortal Brew, it's not easy to make. Perhaps we'll have to trouble Xue Niang again in the future."

The nascent soul scoffed, but didn't refute. What Master liked was indeed very important. Xue Niang couldn't die.

On the other side, Lin Yuru was also shocked after seeing the power of the talisman.

However, she couldn't worry about that now. Lin Yuru returned to Xue Niang's side immediately, took out the pills that Jing Shu had given her, and gave them to Xue Niang. She then used her water spirit root to heal the various injuries on Xue Niang's body.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Yuru did not utter a single word.

Xue Niang's internal injuries from forcibly stopping the self-destruction were being rapidly healed. Although she was amazed by the effects of the pill, Lin Yurou's silence at this moment worried her even more.

"Yu Rou, I..."

"Sister Xue, how long are you going to keep lying to me? Are you only happy when you see me crying and searching everywhere for your long-gone body in the destroyed Drunken Immortal Pavilion?"

Lin Yuru said calmly, without stopping her hands.

"I'm not......"

"You are it!" Lin Yuru's emotions suddenly erupted, and large tears fell freely onto Xue Niang.

Xue Niang felt very sorry for Yu Rou, who was the child she had raised with great care. She had never seen her cry like this before.

"Sister Xue, your Daoist partner is gone, but you still have me, and you still have Master. Everyone is worried about you and wants you to live well. But... but how could you lie to me again..."

When the weak point in the west was breached, her mind went blank. Sister Xue was the strongest among them; how could she possibly fail to hold it?!

Suddenly, she remembered a sentence that Fellow Daoist Jingran had inexplicably said that morning.

"The West will be the first weak point to be breached."

Something's not right!

Lin Yuru flashed out of the evil cultivators' encirclement, stood on the roof, and took out the things that Jing Shu had inexplicably given her before her departure. One of them was a teleportation talisman.

Jing Shu and the others seemed to know something. Perhaps she should go and see...

Lin Yuru used the teleportation talisman, and thus, the weak point in the south was breached.

Meanwhile, the fighting continued in the mansions to the north and east.

An Eastern-style courtyard.

The evil cultivator was furious to see that the person in front of him was unharmed and even waved to them as if to continue.

They couldn't do anything about someone whose cultivation level was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage!

His eerie sword, coupled with his murderous swordplay, made him seem even more like an evil cultivator than they did! The spiritual energy hidden within his swordplay would explode from time to time, making it impossible to defend against!

More importantly! Whenever they finally managed to deplete this person's spiritual power, he would take out a pill and put it in his mouth, instantly replenishing his spiritual power!

The sharp-eyed evil cultivator noticed that they were consuming high-grade pills that were extremely rare and expensive.

The evil cultivators were furious. What kind of battle involves constantly taking pills? Especially high-grade pills that they couldn't afford even a single one of!

"Oops, my spiritual energy is depleted again. Luckily, my brother gave me plenty of pills~"

Jingyou ate it, and didn't forget to show off a bit.

"..."

"Aaaaaah! Kill him!!!"

The evil cultivators who exploited the weaknesses of the East were truly bloodthirsty.
