Chapter 93: with translation of chapter title

"Stop!"

"Quickly stop her!"

Before Shen Qingli could activate the Nine Li battle form, the demon sect's strong cultivators panicked.

At their level, they naturally know even more than the Unmoving Demon.

Iron-eating Beast:

Under normal circumstances, it is actually not frightening, and its temperament is rather gentle, like a big cat.

But once it enters the berserk battle mode, heaven and earth! Only a demon god can control it!

"It's over."

Upon seeing the Nine Li suddenly swell to giant size, the two demon sect strong cultivators felt their hearts nearly stop.

"Sect Master Su Nv, quickly activate the sect-protecting grand formation and kill it!"

For now, they can only hope that the Su Nv Sect's ancient inherited sect-protecting killing formation can slay the iron-eating beast.

Su Yuan didn't hesitate, immediately ordering, "Convey my sect master's command, open the sect-protecting grand formation!"

At the same moment, "Roar——"

The Nine Li in battle form had already stepped onto the Su Nv Sect's mountain gate, towering into the clouds and letting out a roar.

The roar spread throughout the Su Nv Sect's territory, and even the neighboring Azure Cloud Realm, Divine Pasture Lin, and Sealed Dust Jiang heard the commotion.

Among them, the Divine Pasture Lin were the most sensitive, "What sound?"

"The sound is deep and violent, battle spirit soaring to the heavens, like, an iron-eating beast!"

The Divine Pasture Lin are famed for beast taming in Sheng Long Tian; they know all kinds of strange beasts inside out.

Even though the iron-eating beast has long vanished, they can still immediately identify the opponent's true form through the sound and the distant battle aura they sense.

Lin Musheng, head of the Divine Pasture Lin, also immediately recalled what the juniors had reported to him: that in the Ten Directions Forest, the young master of the Shen clan and disciples of the three sects had once fought and killed, with a black-and-white little beast assisting.

At that time, he hadn't thought much of it.

Shen Qingli's beastmaster ability is something he knows.

After all, she is the young master of the Shen clan, and moreover the only female phoenix in three generations of the Shen clan; all major powers actually pay close attention to Shen Qingli in secret, understanding her background, cultivation path, and abilities.

Being a beastmaster with a few spirit beasts assisting is nothing particularly noteworthy.

But now——

"Go!"

"Huh?"

"Pass the order, immediately head to the Su Nv Sect."

Lin Musheng couldn't sit still; if it really is an iron-eating beast, Sheng Long Tian will be overturned.

Coincidentally, in the Azure Cloud Realm, just returned home, Pei Heng also instantly appeared above the Pei ancestral manor.

Accompanying him was Pei Jianshu, who also sensed it, "It's the aura of the iron-eating beast; she actually brought it out."

Pei Heng gazed strangely, "You've always refused to change your address, insisting on marrying her—is it because of these peculiar traits?"

Pei Jianshu could have gone along with this line of talk; he knows very well that as long as he says yes and tells his father more of Shen Qingli's peculiar traits that he knows, his father will surely give strong support.

But when the words reached his lips, he said instead, "No, it's just because I like her."

Pei Heng fell silent.

Pei Jianshu offered no further explanation.

Even though he clearly knows that, given the habit of great aristocratic families to weigh pros and cons, the more useful Shen Qingli is, the more support the Azure Cloud Realm will give him.

From this perspective, the Azure Jade Sect is actually no different from most powers; it's just that the Azure Jade Sect's conduct is uglier, while ancient aristocratic houses and major powers use gentler means, yet they devour people without spitting bones.

The Long Water Shen clan is an oddity.

Yet Pei Jianshu has already realized that Shen Qingli likes such oddities.

Because the Azure Jade Sect hurt her deeply……

"I like her."

In youth, he would be delighted because of the glances she often cast upon him;

Growing up together, he would feel elated because people subtly regarded them as a pair;

When his cultivation advanced, he would feel satisfied because of her sincere congratulations;

When injured, he would soften because of her tears.

……

From childhood sweethearts, they have countless little moments, silently nourishing everyday life.

He once took these little heart-flutters for granted, not putting them in his heart, only treating them as ordinary emotions.

He thought, even if it were someone else, not her, it would be the same.

Until she no longer had only him in her eyes, no longer did the things he had long taken for granted, did he realize, it was different.

"But she no longer likes you." Pei Heng suddenly said.

Pei Jianshu lowered his eyes; he naturally also knows this fact, in fact! He has thought of countless solutions and even tried them.

For example, forcibly establishing a marriage contract between the two;

For example, repeatedly showing goodwill toward her;

For example, tying the two together on the same boat;

……

But he found the effect minimal; he many times wanted to throw caution to the wind, directly lock her up! Tie her up! Even destroy her, erase her memory, and then keep her by his side, letting her treat him as before.

"It seems you've truly fallen for her." Pei Heng sighed.

From the standpoint of family succession, an overseer who is too emotional is unsuitable.

But his son is truly extraordinarily gifted; at only twenty‑five, he has already awakened the ancestral legacy.

For thousands of years the Pei family has waited for such a talent; they will surely fulfill the child's wish and let his mind open up.

"Let's go, to the Su Nv Sect." Pei Heng made the decision.

Pei Jianshu raised an eyebrow, "You…?"

"I must personally give a meeting gift to my future daughter‑in‑law."

"The Su Nv Sect's sect‑protecting grand formation isn't that easy to deal with."

The Pei clan, versed in divine script, naturally excels at formations based on that script.

Pei Heng — he is the sole Nine-grade Peak Formation Master of Sheng Long Tian!

At that moment, above the Su Nv Sect…

Jiuli let out a roar, making the entire Su Nv Sect tremble three times!

Su Yuan, the target of its attack, bled from all seven orifices in this wave of violent sonic assault, her five viscera and six bowels shaken and injured!

She hastily retreated, trying to shield herself with the activated sect‑protecting grand formation.

However——

The sect‑protecting grand formation, half‑opened, jammed.

"Divine seal."

Shen Qingli's voice emerged like a low chant, its tone ancient and rough.

But with her cry of "Order down," the mysterious vines on her body writhed out and linked into the Su Nv Sect's sect‑protecting grand formation.

At that moment Shen Qingli's eyes turned from white to black, then from black to purple.

She is not a formation master.

But her Supreme Unity Dark Pupil can see through everything!

Thus, the Su Nv Sect's sect‑protecting grand formation, before her eyes, is merely a sealing formation weaker than the divine prohibition.

Thus she can easily breach the so‑called sect‑protecting formation's flaw, inserting dark matter to destroy it!

Thus——

"Die!"

Jiuli's violent roar arrives.

Its huge, sharp claws instantly shred Su Yuan's protective amulet.

"Pfft!"

Su Yuan spat blood instantly.

"Save me!"

She screamed hoarsely!

The four great experts of the Demonic Sect and the Grand Origin Sect immediately rushed over.

The four peak Profound Sages attacked together, their tyrannical profound‑power fluctuations directly warping this space.

Many could no longer see the battle clearly, hearing only the roars of the gigantic beast.

"Get lost!"

Jiuli, facing the four experts' attack, not only did not dodge but burst forth an even more tyrannical battle aura from its whole body.

"Boom!"

The tyrannical battle aura slammed the four experts, so that their rushing attack motions seemed paused, frozen mid‑air.

And then, there was no afterwards.
