Sect Leader Li's eyes flickered, and Chu Tian felt a sense of foreboding.
Chu Tian was about to warn Ma Deju.
Sect Leader Li's gaze suddenly became resolute.
"Xuantian Palm!"
Before Chu Tian could even issue a warning, the old man let out a fierce roar.
He raised his palm high and pressed it down from above his head.
Boom...
Above Chu Tian and the others, there was a sudden surge.
A phantom of a colossal hand pierced through the clouds, descending from the heavens.
【Beep, beep, beep, beep... Danger, danger, danger!】
Everyone, within the alerts of their mechs, heard the notification.
"Old man, you... *cough*..."
Ma Deju, who had emerged from his mech.
His eyes were wide with fury.
However, that power was too immense.
Although he had the Dragon Soul behind him.
In that instant, without the protection of his mech,
He was pressed down, his body sinking.
He knelt on the ground on one knee.
The Dragon Soul behind him trembled.
Ma Deju also spat out a mouthful of blood.
As the colossal palm descended with infinite deterrence.
Except for Xiao Hei, everyone present, it seemed,
Felt immense fear.
Xiao Hei's aura remained inconspicuous, his eyes not even lifting.
He did not even attempt to resist.
Naturally, the old man, witnessing this, his gaze shifted slightly.
He increased the force of his palm.
And it was directed specifically at Xiao Hei.
The colossal palm descended rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it was above everyone's heads.
"Alas... my main purpose in coming here was to purge the sect, I wonder if she will be angry!"
This voice appeared.
Accompanied by a cracking sound...
Chu Tian, standing amidst the crowd.
Stepped out at this moment, his mech vanishing.
Bang...
Chu Tian suddenly appeared, to Sect Leader Li's astonishment.
His knees bent sharply and then straightened.
His body, like a cannonball,
Soared upwards. Just as he was about to touch the phantom of the palm,
He unleashed a powerful punch.
Pop...
Like a bubble pricked by a needle.
With a soft sound.
There was no earth-shattering might displayed.
The colossal palm was directly pierced with a hole.
The technique was broken, and the Xuantian Palm, containing a killing blow, directly dissipated.
Sect Leader Li immediately staggered.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"You..." he glared at Chu Tian.
But before he could utter another word, he was interrupted by a voice from behind.
"Sect Leader, let's flee!
I know that brat, his name is Chu Tian..."
The speaker was the one who had incited him earlier.
That person was Sect Leader Li's junior disciple.
And one of the remaining high-ranking members of the Xuantian Sect.
"Chu Tian?"
Sect Leader Li frowned upon hearing this, the name sounding familiar.
"It's him, the one who reorganized the Ninth Branch Office."
The other person added.
"What, the harbinger of doom? Isn't he with that little girl from the Luo family... then we..."
Sect Leader Li's expression changed. He had just used his most powerful move.
To have it so easily broken by this brat meant killing him to silence him was impossible.
It seemed he could not return to the Luo family's small world either.
His Xuantian Sect now had only over a hundred disciples. He had been defeated.
Even if these hundred-plus people attacked together, it would be futile.
The only remaining option was to flee...
After fleeing, there were only two paths: one was to tuck his tail between his legs and hide in some desolate place.
The other path was to seek refuge with the Shenhai Hall.
In truth, the old man named Li did not wish to take either of these paths.
He was unwilling to simply disappear into obscurity.
He was reluctant to become a lackey for those people.
"Senior Sect Leader, if we don't leave now, it will be too late! Do you want to watch the last vestiges of our Xuantian Sect be buried here?"
The other person urged him on.
Sect Leader Li's eyes gradually calmed down after hearing this.
"Don't say any more. This was my mistake, a moment of madness. I absolutely cannot become a lackey. I will go and seek the Luo clan leader..."
Sect Leader Li's eyes suddenly cleared.
Angrily flicking his sleeve, he threw off his junior disciple who was holding his arm.
Before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly streaked past in front of him.
He instantly felt a chill run down his spine. Could this brat intend to eliminate them all?
He had just said he was going to purge the sect.
However, the figure brushed past him...
"Ah..."
A scream, Chu Tian stopped beside him, standing shoulder to shoulder with Sect Leader Li.
However, in his hand, he held someone's throat.
"Don't..."
Sect Leader Li turned around and saw Chu Tian holding his junior disciple above his head.
"Don't? Then should I release him so he can finish stabbing you?"
Chu Tian turned his head and grinned at Sect Leader Li.
That smile, in Sect Leader Li's eyes, inexplicably felt like mockery mixed with chilling killing intent, like a demon baring its fangs at the world.
"Master, Junior Uncle was indeed trying to ambush you!"
Chu Tian had been in front, so he hadn't seen what was happening behind him, but his disciples behind him had seen clearly.
Sect Leader Li, looking at the person in Chu Tian's grasp, whose face was purple and unable to make a sound,
Stepped forward and snatched the dagger from his hand.
"Duantian Blade, how did you get this? Wasn't it seized by the people from Shenhai Hall?"
Sect Leader Li said this with a sudden realization, and then he pulled over the person's spatial pouch.
Upon opening it, he pulled out a token.
"Xuantian Sect Leader Token! It was you... you colluded with the people from Shenhai Hall to open the sect protection formation!
No wonder... no wonder we didn't even have a chance to retreat!"
Sect Leader Li's face turned red, his body trembling with extreme pain.
"Pfft..."
Just as he was about to reach out and grab his junior disciple, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, driven by anger.
Chu Tian flickered rapidly.
"You old fool, why are you still spitting blood and slandering people? Is that not embarrassing?"
Looking at the blood on the ground and Sect Leader Li being supported by his disciples, Chu Tian chuckled and cursed.
"Let's go, brothers!"
Chu Tian, carrying the person, turned and walked towards the chain.
The disciples of the Xuantian Sect parted to make way.
As for Sect Leader Li, Chu Tian couldn't be bothered to manage him. The old man had made his own choice in the end.
Otherwise, Chu Tian wouldn't have minded crushing him to death.
However, his ears were too soft, too easily instigated, making him incapable of great things.
Whether to stay or go, they could decide for themselves.
Lin Yu and Ma Ruolin, one on each side, helped Ma Deju up.
They followed behind everyone else into the Luo family's small world.
...
Within the small world, at the Luo family's stronghold.
"Luoluo, I've been feeling uneasy these past two days, as if something is about to happen."
"Do you feel it too? I do!"
The two women were none other than Zhang Chengcheng and Luo Yiyi.
"Something's wrong! Patriarch, something's wrong!"
Suddenly, hurried footsteps and panicked voices came from outside.
Luo Yiyi immediately rushed to the door.
"Did people from Shenhai Hall arrive?" she asked, pulling open the door to a girl in her teens standing outside.
"No, it's... it's... I just went to the forbidden area to deliver food to Sister Yu'er, and she..."
Before the girl could finish speaking, Luo Yiyi had already stepped past her and rushed out.
Zhang Chengcheng followed closely behind, the two women heading straight for the forbidden area in the back mountains.
Ever since Chen Yu'er and Luoluo arrived in this small world.
They had occupied the Luo family's forbidden area, the cold pool cave where Luoluo had been imprisoned.
What was originally a place for imprisoning serious offenders and enforcing family rules had instead become Chen Yu'er's training ground.
Here, for some unknown reason, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. She, who was the weakest among the three, was now subtly on the verge of surpassing Luoluo and Zhang Chengcheng.
Keep in mind that Zhang Chengcheng and Luoluo had been cultivating since childhood.
Chen Yu'er had only started cultivating properly after going to the undersea world a year ago.
At most, it had only been a year.
Soon, Luoluo and Zhang Chengcheng arrived at the entrance of the Cold Pool Cave.
Without any hesitation, they rushed in.
They saw Chen Yu'er lying on the ice.
A patch of blood had frozen.
Clearly, it was her blood that had been sprayed out.
The two women, in the first instance, helped Chen Yu'er up and left the cave without delay.
They did not dare to linger inside; in that brief moment, they had already felt a bone-chilling cold.
Chen Yu'er, having been disturbed by them, weakly opened her eyes as she exited the cave.
"Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Luo asked anxiously.
"It's nothing, just a qi deviation. But if you hadn't come, I might have frozen to death!"
Chen Yu'er's face was pale, her lips were purple, but she wore a smile.
Hearing her words, Luo Yiyi and Zhang Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why did you suddenly have a qi deviation? Fortunately, the Luo Water Cold Pool Cave has the effect of preventing cultivation deviations, otherwise you would be in danger." Luo Luo rubbed Chen Yu'er's hands.
"I don't know either, I just suddenly felt uneasy, and I was at a critical juncture, so I couldn't stop!" Chen Yu'er also expressed her helplessness.
"You felt uneasy too?" Zhang Chengcheng suddenly exclaimed in surprise beside her.
"You too?" Chen Yu'er turned to look at Zhang Chengcheng.
"Not me, us!" Zhang Chengcheng looked up at Luo Yiyi.
"Us?" Chen Yu'er frowned.
Luo Luo nodded.
"Could it be...?"
Suddenly, all three women's eyes widened, their brows filled with worry.
"Good people don't live long, while scoundrels live for a thousand years. Don't you two worry for nothing!"
Zhang Chengcheng said with a smile, but there was still a hint of worry in her eyes, which she concealed well, not letting Luo Luo and Yu'er discover it.
"I hope..." Chen Yu'er sighed, having only uttered these two words.
Suddenly, a sky-shattering voice echoed through the Luo family's small world.
"Luoluo, Chengcheng, Yu'er, I'm back! Aren't you coming out to welcome your husband!"
The voice carried a rogue tone, with a hint of excitement.
As this shout rang out, the Luo family's small world immediately fell silent.
The training ground, which had been like a bustling marketplace moments before, seemed frozen.
The previous moment, many people were laughing and even sparring, felt their jaws about to drop.
Who were the three people mentioned in that voice? How could they not know?
They were the protective deities in their hearts.
Luo Yiyi, Zhang Chengcheng, Chen Yu'er.
If they hadn't appeared half a year ago.
The three of them had used an amalgamation technique that no one had ever seen, merging into one.
With a single strike, they had severely injured an expert from Shenhai Hall.
Without them, Shenhai Hall would have already dealt a fatal blow to the Dragon Country.
Since then, Shenhai Hall had only dared to dispatch less powerful individuals to operate within the Dragon Country.
In fact, most of them were their defecting lackeys.
This had given the martial arts world of the Dragon Country a sliver of breathing room.
Although, due to supply issues, life was tough, but perhaps... it was better than nothing.
However, at this moment, someone actually appeared, calling out the names of the three women, and so intimately.
And then telling them to come out and welcome their husband...
How audacious was that.
Instantly, many of the younger generation, after a brief moment of stunned silence, showed anger on their faces.
Just as these people looked towards the entrance, wanting to see who this audacious person was.
Suddenly, three streams of light streaked across the sky and stopped in the air.
"It's the Luo family heads! Now there's a good show to watch, that guy will be crippled if not dead!"
"Heh heh, let's go... go watch the fun, damn it, how dare he desecrate my goddesses!"
"What goddesses? Say that again?" Dafeng Novel Network
"Uh... our goddesses!"
The person who misspoke quickly retracted his neck and corrected himself.
"Look quickly..."
Suddenly, someone pointed, and everyone's gaze converged.
They were instantly stunned, and many of them heard cracking sounds.
That was... the sound of hearts breaking.
...
Luo Yiyi, Zhang Chengcheng, and Chen Yu'er, the moment they heard the voice.
Were stunned for a second, then both of their eyes were simultaneously filled with tears.
This voice was too familiar; if it wasn't Chu Tian, who else could it be.
After a year and a half, he had finally returned.
Chen Yu'er, who had been extremely weak, somehow found the strength to stand up abruptly.
Luoluo and Zhang Chengcheng supported her, and the three of them nodded.
They took to the air, streaking like a beam of light towards the mountain.
Along the way, the tears of excitement and joy of the three women continuously fell.
Like crystal clear gems, scattering with the wind.
From afar, they saw a person standing on a Qilin beast.
Still carrying someone in his hand, as if holding a chick, his throat clasped.
The Qilin beast was entirely ink-black.
It walked slowly through the air, step by step.
With a swagger that recognized no one, it was as majestic as could be.
When Chen Yu'er saw this scene, her aura suddenly faltered, and her body stumbled in the air.
Luo Luo and Zhang Chengcheng quickly supported her, and they stopped at the edge of the training ground in the sky.
Chu Tian's gaze paused; he naturally observed this scene. His previously smirking face suddenly froze.
"Xiao Hei, hurry up!" he urged.
However, Xiao Hei, lacking foresight, snorted and exhaled a smoke ring of flames from his nostrils, saying faintly.
"This is how you make an entrance, it's cool, isn't it? Look at the silly people below, the way they're looking at us!"
Xiao Hei's gaze was entirely on those below, and he hadn't noticed Chen Yu'er's abnormality.
Chu Tian's face immediately darkened. This foolish creature was truly unreliable.
He stomped his foot.
Bang...
A sound erupted on Xiao Hei's head.
Chu Tian stomped on Xiao Hei's entire body, causing him to stagger, nearly falling headfirst.
Chu Tian's body then emitted a sonic boom, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the three women.
With a flick of his hand, he threw the person he was holding hundreds of meters down.
"Yu'er, you..." Chu Tian's gaze was filled with worry.
"Oh dear, if I had known, I would have also had a qi deviation! Humph..." Zhang Chengcheng muttered grumpily beside him.
Chen Yu'er's face immediately turned red.
"I... I'm fine!"
Chu Tian naturally heard Zhang Chengcheng's words and understood what was happening.
He also knew that he might have done something wrong.
He looked at Luo Luo, whose eyes were filled with suppressed tears, biting her lips.
