Chapter 260: The Great Calamity Approaches

"Daoist Friend, no need to rush. It would be such a pity to kill such beauties directly. Could you grant this Ji three days?"

Hearing Ye Lingyun's words, Ji Ruan gave a sly chuckle.

As he spoke, the greed on his face was not concealed in the slightest.

How could Ye Lingyun not understand what he meant?

He could not help but knit his brows.

To tell the truth, he was actually somewhat tempted himself.

With such a good thing, how could he let Ji Ruan take advantage of it?

However, he endured it in the end.

In front of the ethereal woman, he had to maintain his composure and could not let his inner thoughts show.

Otherwise, the good impression he had just established in the ethereal woman's heart would be completely ruined.

Seeing Ye Lingyun frown,

Ji Ruan thought Ye Lingyun was worried about him, so he smiled and continued, "Is Daoist Friend worried?"

"There is no need for that."

"This Ji can swear a Dao Heart Vow; in three days, I will definitely execute the three of them."

"Otherwise, may my, Ji Ruan's, Inner Demon erupt and cause my death."

Hearing Ji Ruan's words, Ye Lingyun looked at Mu Lingxi and the other three women, a flash of regret passing through his eyes, and then he nodded to Ji Ruan without a change in expression.

Seeing that Ye Lingyun had agreed, the smile on Ji Ruan's face instantly grew richer.

He then looked toward the Great Star Envoy.

"This Daoist Friend, isn't it your goal to have these four women die?"

"Now that this Ji has sworn a Dao Heart Vow, do you have anything else to say?"

Hearing Ji Ruan's words, the Great Star Envoy's gaze flickered.

Just as she was about to say something,

her heart suddenly gave a wild leap.

A sense of unease surged like a flood, drowning her entire being and leaving her with an intense feeling of suffocation.

In an instant, she was soaked in cold sweat.

Her heart was filled with terror.

At this moment, she actually sensed a death aura that was intense to the extreme.

She had once practiced a technique that strengthened her sixth sense.

This premonition was by no means groundless.

Moreover, she could feel it.

As time passed, this death aura was becoming intense at an astonishing speed.

This feeling was as if...

While their group of small fry was confronting each other here, a ferocious great shark was approaching at an astonishing speed from an area they could not perceive.

That suffocating, terrifying sensation caused the face beneath her mask to turn deathly pale in an instant.

Faced with this life-and-death crisis, she could no longer care about killing Mu Lingxi and the other three.

Escaping was the priority!

Thinking of this, she took a step out.

Amidst the fluctuation of Space Power, she vanished in an instant.

Seeing this scene,

Ji Ruan was stunned, then immediately began to laugh.

The Great Star Envoy had a mask covering her head, and her body was shrouded in a unique power, making it difficult to pry into her.

Therefore, her series of changes were not noticed by the others.

Seeing her leave without a word,

not only did Ji Ruan think the other party had accepted his arrangement,

but even Ye Lingyun and the ethereal woman thought the same.

"Hahaha, since a consensus has been reached, then this Ji will not be polite."

Ji Ruan looked at Ye Lingyun and the ethereal woman.

He then turned his head to look at Mu Lingxi and the other three, a flash of intense possessiveness appearing in his eyes.

"The four of you, will you obediently surrender, or will you struggle a bit and be captured after I severely injure you?"

Hearing his words,

a pitiful look appeared on Mu Lingxi's face, "Aren't you a bit too impatient? Can't you be a little gentler?"

"Want gentleness?"

"I can do that."

Ji Ruan sneered, "Bind your own cultivation right now and come back with this Ji, and I will be gentler."

"Forget it, she already said it, she doesn't like a sissy like you." Mu Lingxi shook her head.

Hearing the familiar words "sissy" again, the veins on Ji Ruan's forehead twitched.

"You wretch who refuses a toast only to drink a forfeit."

He let out a cold snort, and the aura on his body instantly became powerful.

"You all step back."

Mu Lingxi sent a sound transmission to Wang Yu Yao, Su Yutong, and Xing Li without changing her expression, then stepped forward lightly, staring at Ji Ruan and the others with a grave expression as her Spiritual Power began to surge.

"I feel that a chance of survival is coming."

Amidst the tense standoff, Xing Li's voice, filled with pleasant surprise, reached the ears of Mu Lingxi, Wang Yu Yao, and Su Yutong.

The Spiritual Power on Mu Lingxi's body paused, and suddenly, as if she had sensed something, she gently touched the Sound Transmission Talisman at her waist with her finger.

Immediately, a captivating smile appeared on her face.

She looked up at Ji Ruan, who had already raised her palm in an attacking stance, and said indifferently, "I advise you to dig a hole in the ground immediately."

"Otherwise..."

"You might end up with your corpse exposed in the wilderness later."

Hearing Mu Lingxi's words, Ji Ruan stared at Mu Lingxi's small, full red lips and sneered, "Still trying to scare me at this point?"

"Your mouth is truly tough enough."

"I would like to see if it can still be as tough as it is now after I capture you!"

At the same time.

On the ground.

A feeling of palpitation arose in Ye Lingyun's heart for no reason.

He frowned.

His gaze swept continuously over the four people, Mu Lingxi and the others.

He immediately discovered that something was wrong.

Their expressions were too calm.

It would be one thing if it were just that little demoness Mu Lingxi and Xing Li.

But Wang Yu Yao and Su Yutong did not have the deep schemes of those two.

Although the two had looked calm before, he could clearly perceive a sense of unease and caution in their expressions.

However, now.

Their expressions had truly become calm, without the slightest bit of unease or caution left.

This was a display of having full confidence.

What had suddenly given them this confidence?

Could it be...

Wang Jianqiang is arriving soon!

Thinking of this, Ye Lingyun's heart jumped violently.

It must be so.

Aside from Wang Jianqiang, these four had no other backing!

At this moment.

Ye Lingyun finally understood why he had felt that palpitation earlier.

After figuring everything out, his complexion changed instantly.

He knew very well how strong Wang Jianqiang's strength was.

He did not believe that now that his cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage, he would be able to rival Wang Jianqiang.

Once Wang Jianqiang arrived, he feared that even self-preservation would be difficult.

Thinking of this.

The fear of Wang Jianqiang instantly overwhelmed the desire to kill Mu Lingxi and the others.

He hurriedly called out to the ethereal woman beside him.

"Qingcheng Fairy, let's leave quickly."

The ethereal woman was stunned upon hearing this.

From Ye Lingyun's tone, she clearly sensed a feeling of urgency.

Ye Lingyun was no ordinary person.

She had watched the entire process of him undergoing his Nascent Soul Tribulation.

The methods and courage Ye Lingyun displayed at that time had made even her admire him endlessly.

What reason could possibly make him suddenly become so flustered?

She looked at Ye Lingyun, her expression somewhat stunned, "Daoist Friend Ye, what is wrong? Has something happened?"

"I will explain this to the Fairy later; as for now, we must leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Ye Lingyun could feel that the sense of palpitation in his heart was rapidly intensifying.

After speaking, he did not even have time to wait for the ethereal woman's response before taking a step and leaving via Instant Movement.

The ethereal woman frowned.

Ye Lingyun's actions were no longer as simple as just being flustered.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as fear!

Thinking of this, she could not help but feel even more curious.

What on earth had happened?

It had actually caused the courageous Ye Lingyun to feel fear!

However, hindered by Ye Lingyun's warning, she ultimately suppressed the curiosity in her heart.

Sensing the spatial fluctuations left behind after Ye Lingyun's departure, she used Instant Movement to follow him.
