Ye Yun, unable to fully master the Starfire Guard, clutched the Star Shield and cautiously led the team into the blue teleportation portal.
Qian Ling and the others followed closely, their stances battle-ready, prepared for any incoming attacks.
If the enemy intended to ambush them, the exit of the teleportation portal would undoubtedly be the optimal location.
Therefore, exiting was the most perilous step!
As the teleportation light faded, Ye Yun’s vision cleared, and he found himself back in the Northern Light Domain.
Upon emerging, Ye Yun surveyed his surroundings vigilantly. Aside from the people from the Ling Luo Domain guarding outside, there was no one else in sight.
“Huh? No one?”
Ye Yun frowned, and Qian Ling, who had emerged behind him, also looked surprised.
Seeing the scene outside, she too was taken aback. They had been fully prepared for a fight, only to find nothing happening.
“What’s going on? Didn’t they ambush us here?”
Qian Ling also frowned and immediately turned to the guards who had been waiting outside.
“Where are Qian Kong and his people? Where are they now?”
Hearing this, the man quickly explained.
“Reporting to Your Highness, before you emerged, they had already left with their team.”
“Left?”
Qian Ling was taken aback by this outcome.
As for Ye Yun, he raised an eyebrow, finding the explanation hard to believe.
“That greedy fellow, would he really let go of so many treasures so easily and leave?”
The answer to this question was obvious: he wouldn’t!
Just as they were puzzling over this, a phenomenon appeared in the distance!
Suddenly, streaks of red light materialized on the seemingly calm ground. They transformed into a torrent of flowing light, erupting from the earth.
A vast expanse of red light coalesced on the ground into a massive formation diagram. In the sky, countless red beams of light rose from afar, enveloping a vast area and forming a colossal, blood-colored cage.
A腥 smell instantly filled everyone’s nostrils.
And a profoundly oppressive aura descended upon their hearts.
Ye Yun’s gaze narrowed, and he looked directly in a distant direction.
There, figures began to appear, none other than Qian Kong and his entourage who had departed earlier.
The people from the Qian Yuan Domain stood atop a hill, gazing towards Ye Yun and saying with a smile.
“Lord Ye, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon!”
Despite the distance, their voices seemed to be spoken right beside them, amplified by divine power.
Hearing the taunt, Ye Yun remained unfazed, smiling faintly.
“As for that, given your despicable nature, I’m not surprised at all.”
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the surroundings.
Temporarily, he only spotted the Qian Yuan Domain contingent opposite them.
This made him raise an eyebrow.
At this moment, Qian Ling, staring intently at Qian Kong in the distance, said coldly.
“What do you guys want?”
In fact, she still found it hard to believe that they would be so reckless as to openly declare war on their Ling Luo Domain.
But reality was often this crazy. Qian Kong looked at her and chuckled heartily.
“What do we want? Does that even need asking? Have you heard the term ‘robbery and murder’?”
Upon hearing this, Qian Ling’s gaze grew sharper, and her fists clenched tighter.
“Aren’t you afraid of retaliation from our Ling Luo Domain for doing this?”
“Heh, don’t worry. After we’re done with you, we’ll deal with the Ling Luo Domain as well. I guarantee many will accompany you on your journey!”
Qian Kong’s words directly revealed the immense ambition of the Qian Yuan Domain.
Qian Ling’s face turned ashen at his declaration.
At this point, she knew that no amount of words would be useful. Only fists would suffice!
Meanwhile, Ye Yun surveyed the surroundings and frowned.
“So you think you and your few people can keep all of us here?”
“Heh, I’m certainly not that arrogant…”
Qian Kong smiled but didn’t finish his sentence.
At the same moment, a cold female voice echoed in Ye Yun’s ear.
“It’s not just them. There’s us too!”
As the voice faded, a shadowy figure, as dark as night, had, at some unknown point, approached him from behind and launched a fierce attack.
The black blade instantly sliced through space, leaving a slender rift.
The speed was so great it was almost like teleportation.
Ye Yun’s gaze tightened. He didn’t even have time to dodge. Upon reacting, he chose to defend on the spot.
On the Star Shield, blue light condensed into a small area, maximizing his defense.
Immense divine power surged onto the tiny shield, and instantly, cracks began to appear.
His body was sent flying back over a hundred meters, his face pale.
“Lord Ye!”
This sudden attack startled Qian Ling.
The Heavenly God-level powerhouses beside her quickly moved to protect her.
After all, against a Heavenly God-level expert of this caliber, their princess could be instantly killed without protection.
However, after repelling Ye Yun, the black-robed woman didn't immediately attack her. She spun the short blade in her hand and looked at Ye Yun with amusement.
“Not bad. You’ve got some substance. Ordinary Star God level cultivators wouldn’t even be able to react in time to block my strike.”
As she spoke, dark figures descended one after another. Along with the arriving Qian Kong and his group, they completely surrounded them.
At this moment, Ye Yun looked at the nearly shattered defensive barrier before him, his expression extremely grim. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Qian Ling, not far away, quickly brought her people over to prevent Ye Yun from being attacked again.
Then, she looked at the black-robed woman before her and said coldly.
“You, are you from the Wind Domain?”
On the star domain map compiled by the Ling Luo Domain, in this small territory, aside from the Ling Luo Domain and the Qian Yuan Domain, it was possible to deduce who could dispatch such a powerful Heavenly God-level team through elimination.
“Tsk, tsk, so smart. I am indeed from the Wind Domain, and my name is Feng Lin.”
The black-robed woman smiled approvingly, her gaze appraising Qian Ling’s delicate figure.
“As a reward, I’ll give you a quick death later. Won’t that be nice? You won’t have to suffer the torment of these men.”
She smiled, as if her actions were noble and righteous.
Her words made Qian Ling’s face darken. If she hadn’t known she couldn’t win, she would have charged forward and taught the other woman a lesson right then and there!
