Chapter 314: The Ancient Realm Disturbed by a Single Fish

What made Long Qinghuang most unable to hold back was that Feng Ziliu of the Heavenly Jade Sacred Land and the Yan Lord of the Yanluo Hall, though seemingly on opposing sides, showed not the slightest mutual wariness; instead, their techniques and combat skills coordinated with remarkable synergy.

As if they hailed from the same school.

What the hell is there to fight about?

Especially that Yan Lord; she didn't even know how she had provoked him, yet he fought as if risking his life, every strike aimed at vital points. The other old man held back far more when attacking, at least avoiding vital points.

So is this Yan Lord insane? Do I even know you?

Don't say I'm capturing Lu Xingzhou because I'm fighting someone over a man; even if I truly were fighting the Heavenly Jade Sacred Master over a man, what does it have to do with you? What's your connection? What exactly are you jumping about for?

Feeling offended, Long Qinghuang gathered all her power before retreating toward Yuan Muyu. Golden light exploded, eclipsing the sun and moon.

With a "Boom," Yuan Muyu was blasted dozens of li backward. A golden dragon soared into the clouds, flying into the vast sky, while Long Qinghuang's slightly hoarse voice, bearing the marks of injury, echoed from the air: "Lu Xingzhou, you'd better stay hidden within the Heavenly Jade Sacred Land forever and never come out!"

Very well; originally she had only found it amusing and wanted to capture him for fun, but ended up catching a fake; this time he was truly before her, she attacked personally, yet was ambushed and ganged up on. Long Qinghuang's competitive spirit, unwilling to yield, had now turned from mere amusement into an obsession...

You just wait for me!

Sensing the implication in the Mother Tyrant Dragon's words, Lu Xingzhou shivered. Would she really launch the Demon Race's full-scale invasion of Great Qian over a single man...

Did something like this ever happen in our Huaxia history? I heard it happened in Europe...

Speaking of which, if Yuan Muyu had fully sided with the opposition this time, the Heavenly Jade Sacred Land would have suffered greatly. Originally, Lu Xingzhou had planned for Yuan Muyu not to participate, but with two dragons on the opposing side, it would have been a bitter battle. The Heavenly Jade Sacred Land harbored many Supreme-grade experts, but most secluded themselves from worldly affairs in cultivation; they couldn't even be summoned, so they could only be kept to guard the home, making them unreliable.

Instead, Yuan Muyu not only didn't stand with the opposition but also held back the Sea Dragon King and the Demon Emperor who taunted them, effectively neutralizing three Supreme-grade experts in one go.

This time, it was the people of Golden Wind Island who were utterly dumbfounded.

Once Long Qinghuang fled, even the few flood dragons the Sea Dragon King had symbolically sent to tie up the Heavenly Jade elders fled. With Feng Ziliu and the Heavenly Jade elders launching a full-scale counterattack, what snake were they supposed to fight?

The possession faction on Golden Wind Island disintegrated in an instant. The elderly leader, acting decisively, immediately withdrew with Fang Qihao and Xiang Guang, while Feng Ziliu and Yuan Muyu pincer-attacked Long Qinghuang.

Lu Xingzhou had just exhausted all his methods to seal the yin soul possessing Duan Ning into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, achieving only a temporary restriction, unable to refine it. He had no time to do anything further when he suddenly flashed forward, blocking Fang Qihao's retreat path.

Fang Qihao, who had just slapped Anuo's cake and was retreating with the momentum, heard a "Boom" as a wall of fire engulfed the space behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Lu Xingzhou had opened a wall of fire blocking the retreat path; the expression on his face, illuminated by the flames, was somewhat ferocious: "So you are the one who wanted to kill my Anuo?"

A smile curled the corners of Anuo's mouth.

Fang Qihao was stunned; that was so long ago. You hadn't shown any reaction before, yet you secretly held a grudge until now?

I haven't even come to demand the God-Slaying Whip from you yet!

"Move!" Fang Qihao threw his whole body at Lu Xingzhou. At the same time, the elderly Supreme-grade leader, while withdrawing, unleashed a torrent of wind blades to attempt a rescue.

Yet Lu Xingzhou, facing the Supreme-grade wind blade technique, neither dodged nor avoided, instead taking the blow squarely on his back. With a crisp "Crack," the Dragon-Slaying Armor he had just put on cracked and shattered.

Lu Xingzhou stumbled, then immediately whipped his leg around, kicking Fang Qihao viciously in the chest.

Fang Qihao blocked with his arm, but his path was blocked.

A sharp pain erupted behind him; Anuo's God-Slaying Whip had already struck his back.

That was no soft whip; it was a steel whip!

The single strike shattered Fang Qihao's back, causing him to spew a mouthful of fresh blood and stumble forward.

Lu Xingzhou clapped his palms wildly, unleashing the full force of the Taiji Heavenly Yang and hammering it heavily into his chest.

With a "Crack," his chest collapsed; he was dead beyond any doubt.

Another yin soul fled from the body: "Madmen! They are all madmen!"

But where could it escape to?

A slender hand reached out from beside him; it was Yuan Muyu, who had been blasted dozens of li away by Long Qinghuang but had now rushed back. She grabbed the soul, and in an instant... controlled it.

Covering dozens of li at the Supreme-grade level actually took only an instant, showing how fast events unfolded in that flash of lightning. Seeing the situation was hopeless, the elderly leader on the other side immediately fled in panic with Xiang Guang, no longer able to attend to Fang Qihao.

Fang Qihao's yin soul, held in Yuan Muyu's hand, writhed and struggled: "Yan Lord, you clearly betrayed the Heavenly Jade Sacred Land and started your own faction; why are you acting as a dog for the Heavenly Jade Sacred Land now!"

He was truly furious; if it weren't for Yuan Muyu's inexplicable performance this time, how could their operation have collapsed into a state even they couldn't understand?

So many Supreme-grade experts!

Enough to unify the universe!

How could it have turned out like this? No matter how he thought, he couldn't figure it out.

Blood from the corner of Yuan Muyu's mouth dripped out from beneath her mask, yet she didn't answer the question. She simply turned to Lu Xingzhou: "Since you have already captured one, give me this one. I also have matters regarding the Ancient Realm to ask. Rest assured, he tried to kill Anuo; I won't let him off easy. In my hands, he will find life unlivable and death unattainable."

Lu Xingzhou smiled: "I believe so. Anuo is also a child you raised from a young age."

Fang Qihao's yin soul: "???"

Yuan Muyu looked deeply at Lu Xingzhou, wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

What was there to say?

Everything that needed to be said had already been said; they had already reached a stalemate again. If they continued, they would only start arguing.

Should she ask how he planned to thank her for helping this time? But she also knew Lu Xingzhou was right before; this wasn't helping the Heavenly Jade Sacred Land. Matters of the Ancient Realm were a joint effort, holding great significance for her as well.

So what was there to say? Ask about her relationship with the Dragon Emperor?

What relationship? It has nothing to do with you... In vain, she had raged like a madman under the gaze of countless people; looking back, she was nothing but a clown.

Forget it.

Similarly, Lu Xingzhou pressed his lips together and said nothing either.
