NOVPUBEven if the Xia Yan family could be notified, facing such a situation, only the dispatch of a Martial Saint or someone who has reincarnated as a Martial Saint would be likely to resolve the matter, but figures of such caliber are not inclined to leave their lairs lightly.
With internal strife and external threats abounding in the Great Flame Empire, leaving the homeland would pose a substantial risk; a fall as a result of a trap could be a devastating blow to the Xia Yan family.
Therefore, Su Changkong thought of Ji Xuexiao, an unfathomably powerful figure! It’s difficult to say what level exactly she’s at!
Several days before setting out, Su Changkong had already crushed the Ice Snow Leaf.
However, Su Changkong was not certain that Ji Xuexiao would come, and even if she truly did, whether she could make a difference. He only tried in hope, without much expectation, planning to rely on himself.
But to Su Changkong’s surprise, Ji Xuexiao did show up, and from the looks of it, she had been there for a while, secretly observing the situation.
It wasn’t until now, faced with the threat from Wei Shengxin, that Ji Xuexiao revealed herself!
"Dao Wufeng... returning your favor is really not easy!"
The voice of Ji Xuexiao, cold as an icy spring, rang in Su Changkong’s ears.
Ji Xuexiao was somewhat helpless; she had arrived at Heavenly Dragon Mountain two days prior, and although she did not find Su Changkong, she felt the presence of powerful beings there likely targeting Su Changkong.
Indeed, this proved to be the case. Others might have been one thing, but Wei Shengxin was no ordinary opponent!
But owing a debt to Su Changkong, Ji Xuexiao still chose to appear.
"The aura of the Divine Seed... are you here for the Dragon Transformation Gate as well?"
Upon seeing the emerging Ji Xuexiao, Wei Shengxin’s face showed a hint of solemnity for the first time.
By sensing other Divine Seeds and opposing them, Wei Shengxin could tell that the woman before him, like him, possessed a Divine Seed and was likely also a reincarnated Martial Saint.
Ji Xuexiao calmly stated, "I did not come for the Transforming Dragon Gate. I owe him a favor, and I hope you won’t make it difficult for him. Let him go."
Su Changkong was also deeply grateful within his heart. Even though Ji Xuexiao owed him a favor, she was confronting this unfathomable Alliance Hierarch Wei Shengxin for his sake!
With a laugh, Wei Shengxin responded, "You talk pretty, but are you planning to seize the Dragon Transformation Gate on him all by yourself?"
Wei Shengxin did not believe the Dragon Transformation Gate held no appeal for this woman, and that she would convince him to give up with just a few words?
"Think what you wish," replied Ji Xuexiao, too impatient to engage in further conversation with Wei Shengxin.
At the same time, Ji Xuexiao transmitted her voice to Su Changkong, "You go first; I’ll hold him back."
"Be careful," Su Changkong hesitated for a moment, but he nodded. Since Ji Xuexiao dared to show herself, it meant she was confident in dealing with Wei Shengxin.
Whoosh!
Su Changkong’s figure flashed towards the outskirts of Heavenly Dragon Mountain.
Wei Shengxin’s face darkened, "Did I say you could leave?"
With a sudden reach of his hand, the space before him dipped and twisted, pressing down towards Su Changkong, like a serpent slithering through the void.
Ji Xuexiao stood her ground, as winds and cold swept around her. The twisting, dipping space halted abruptly, as if frozen in place, and gusts of icy wind roared, like ice dragons roaring. Ice crystals spread over Wei Shengxin’s skin, and in the blink of an eye, he was transformed into an ice sculpture.
"Is this... the Divine Skill of the Divine Seed from Chi Dragon Hall? Was she the one who obtained the Divine Seed that day?"
Su Changkong felt the situation behind him and was startled.
Back then, in Chi Dragon Hall, Wind Sun Moon and the martial artists of East Cloud Sect fought over the Divine Seed there, but in the end, it did not fall into anyone’s hands; instead, it was said that a woman riding a giant eagle had easily taken it away.
The Divine Seed had a will of its own and seemed to recognize that woman as the only one qualified to master it!
At that time, Su Changkong was trapped in the Underworld Ice Palace and had not witnessed it firsthand, but had heard from others. When they had met previously, Su Changkong had vaguely sensed a familiar aura on Ji Xuexiao; it was the aura of a Divine Seed!
Ji Xuexiao possessed a Divine Seed, no wonder she was confident facing Wei Shengxin! 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Don’t let him escape!"
Into the ears of the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl and Mo Junling came the ice-cold, piercing voice of Wei Shengxin, and at the same time, the ice crystals that had frozen Wei Shengxin crackled as they shattered to pieces.
"Yes!"
The Mysterious Yin Demon Girl and Mo Junling stiffened, and in fact, they had already blocked Su Changkong’s path without waiting for Wei Shengxin’s instruction. The two sides were mortal enemies; it was a matter of life and death!
Far from the battlefield where Wei Shengxin and Ji Xuexiao were confronting each other, Mo Junling’s body was wrapped in battle runes, intercepting Su Changkong’s path, while the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl’s figure was elusive, vanished into the void.
"Dao Wufeng, today you shall not escape!"
The eyes of Mo Junling blazed with killing intent, and a blood-red eye on his forehead stared intently at him.
"Divine General Gulie! It might be best to give up now; that man is the reincarnation of a Martial Saint, and that woman possesses a Divine Seed..."
At this moment, the Thirteenth Prince and his retinue of over a hundred guards formed a battle array to hold off the Heavenly Corpse Old Man while expressing his thoughts to Gu Lie through voice transmission.
Arrogant and yet no fool, the Thirteenth Prince saw that there was still a chance for Gu Lie to seize the Dragon Transformation Gate given Gu Lie’s strength.
But the strength Su Changkong displayed exceeded all expectations, not to mention wei Shengxin who was suspected to be the reincarnation of a Martial Saint, along with a woman with a Divine Seed entering the fray, both capable of wielding true Divine Skills. Even with Gu Lie’s formidable power, it was difficult to contend with them for the Dragon Transformation Gate.
In the eyes of the Thirteenth Prince, when the situation was futile, it would be better to retreat.
But Gu Lie replied, "Having offended Dao Wufeng, we must resolve him to eliminate future troubles! Otherwise, it will be an endless threat!"
A fierce determination to kill flashed in Gu Lie’s eyes. With things having reached this point, Gu Lie had no intention of backing down. He had fought his way to this day, never one to be soft-hearted.
Having already offended Dao Wufeng in today’s siege, given the latter’s terrifying talent, he was likely to become a Martial Saint in the future and would certainly come to settle today’s grudge. Only by cutting him down now could Gu Lie have peace of mind!
Gu Lie was enveloped in a layer of golden light, with golden flames dancing in his eyes as if he were a god incarnate!
