The black figure flashed, moving forward like a breeze. Strength surged into his hands, and a long whip suddenly appeared, coiling like a dragon as it lashed toward the two small figures standing ahead!
The person standing there made no move—only a slight tilt of the body, as if trying to restrain the figure in front, but ultimately did not advance.
The long whip sliced through the air with a fierce howl, striking toward the two children. If it landed, they would have no chance of survival!
Even Luo Mingyu’s heart trembled, instinctively wanting to step forward—but a wave of martial energy locked him in place, forcibly preventing any movement.
Swish! At the very moment the whip was about to strike, a white figure on the ground shot upward. Both hands struck the whip like lightning, twisting it and, using circular momentum, swung the whip violently against the ground.
Boom! The figure being flung had not expected such resistance, crashing into the ice mountain. Baili Wushuang spat a mouthful of blood and quickly retreated to dodge.
The standing person had not yet opened their eyes, as if still asleep, yet life force flowed through their veins. Acting on instinct, the person in the Tai Chi stance slowly opened their eyes.
Cold, colorless eyes stared out. From the depths of the black pupils, a strange purple aura emanated. A bizarre totem reappeared between the brows, displayed in the style of a poison scripture, leaving even Ling Feng momentarily stunned.
A long finger touched the brow, examining the familiar pattern. Ling Feng’s expression darkened as he glanced at the figure in green across from him, then shifted to Yizhui and Yimeng.
“Before cultivating the Poison Scripture, she was already pregnant, which broke its rules,” Luo Mingyu said softly, quickly kneeling and clasping his fists. “Master, your disciple begs you… let Ruoxi—”
“Isn’t that obvious? You’ve already had two children. How could I marry Ruoxi to someone else?” Ling Feng smiled faintly, lifting Luo Mingyu with one hand. With a wave of his right hand, he snapped gently near Ling Ruoxi’s ear. “Awake now, Xiao Xi’er.”
A familiar voice echoed in her ears, as if someone were calling her. The black pupils focused, seeing the familiar figure and face—still young and handsome, smiling kindly, even warmer than in the portraits.
Shivering, Ling Ruoxi quickly stood upright, hardly believing her eyes. She reached out, touching the familiar face—no cold aura, just warmth. “Father!”
“Ah, daughter!” Ling Feng’s voice stretched affectionately. Scanning the area, he casually waved, and a milky-white aura formed before him, directly blocking the Nine-Yin Nether Qi. “Wushuang, you know I won’t harm women. While you still have your senses, don’t let yourself sink too deep—I don’t want to kill you!”
“Since I can’t have you, dying in your embrace is worth it! Hahaha…” A cold voice echoed. The figure suddenly twisted; the black body expanded grotesquely, the once elegant form fattening, almost demonized. Flesh twisted unnaturally.
The face was rapidly consumed by the Nine-Yin Nether Qi, sinking inward toward the belly. The small figure was completely engulfed, replaced by a massive black silhouette.
Like a demon beast or a ghost, it was terrifying.
“Demonized!!!” Luo Mingyu gasped, staring at the figure.
Silver Wolf felt the overwhelming aura but had no idea what had happened. Hands raised defensively, he asked, “What do you mean, demonized? What’s wrong with her? What is that thing?!”
“Do you think entering the forbidden area of Qiongyu Immortal Island is easy?” Baili Yan frowned, quickly directing people to retreat from the ice cave while explaining: “Qiongyu Immortal Island borders a Sha ground. The forbidden area contains the densest evil energy. Once inside, Nine-Yin Nether Qi invades. Those who can control it survive; those who can’t are consumed and demonized.”
“I once mistakenly entered the forbidden area, inhaled Nine-Yin Nether Qi, and nearly died. Master saved me and taught me to control it. Baili Wushuang entered to escape and has been trapped so long. The Nine-Yin Nether Qi already consumed her. Her mind is now breaking—demonization naturally occurs!” Luo Mingyu’s eyes narrowed. Holding Yizhui in one arm and Yimeng in the other, he quickly moved aside.
The blue eyes in the ice cave glared intensely, trembling violently. The aura inside seemed to surge outward like a raging river, fully suppressing martial energy. Just a glimpse made hearts tremble—it was unbearable!
Too terrifying!!!
“Baby, take Yizhui and Yimeng and leave. Leave this to me. Mingyu and Xiao Xi’er stay. Everyone else return to the capital and eliminate the Blood Guards—hurry!” Ling Feng commanded, stepping to shield Luo Mingyu. The figure across had demonized; the only way to handle her was to use the Nine-Yin Nether Qi—something only Luo Mingyu could do. Ling Ruoxi had to remain; her Poison Scripture power could instantly heal.
Baili Yan’s face darkened. She shouted angrily, “Trying to send me away again? I won’t leave this time!”
“Baby, don’t be stubborn. Trust me, I won’t leave again!” Ling Feng clasped Baili Yan’s shoulders. With a thought, the martial energy in his hands erupted, sweeping outward. Everyone standing there was almost immediately carried away.
Five Purple Bamboo Divine Needles shot into his hands. Ling Feng stood outside the cave, serious: “After demonization, Wushuang is extremely dangerous. Wherever Nine-Yin Nether Qi reaches, nothing survives. Set up a barrier to trap her—she cannot escape!”
“Understood!” Ling Ruoxi nodded. Her right hand pressed down; martial energy surged from her Dantian, extending toward Ling Feng.
Luo Mingyu wasted no time, extending his hands as Nine-Yin Nether Qi rapidly flowed into Ling Feng.
Feeling the twin surges, Ling Feng rotated his hands. Milky-white energy mixed with purple-black energy, rising like a massive net, enveloping the surroundings. The black aura and milky-white aura intertwined, forming dazzling patterns. The standing figure shuddered, swinging hands toward another direction.
Hum! The barrier sensed this. External winds were blocked; a sealed space formed. Outside sounds vanished. Only heartbeats and low growls echoed inside.
Like a beast, the deep voice reverberated sharply, piercing the ears.
“You two be careful. After demonization, her power increases several times. Avoid direct contact!” Ling Feng whispered. One was his disciple, one his daughter. Not favoritism—he trusted both would not disappoint him.
Nodding, Ling Ruoxi and Luo Mingyu exchanged a glance. The situation was extremely dangerous; they had to be extremely careful.
Boom! The entire mountain shook violently; a peak nearly collapsed. Ice blocks in the cave were flung about. The massive figure stepped out like a phantom.
Before Ling Ruoxi could react, a burst of murderous energy exploded, a torrent of fierce aura shooting forward like lightning.
So fast!
Her heart skipped a beat. There was no time to think. The agile figure brushed past the black aura like lightning. Yet, the sidestepped figure seemed frozen—pupils constricted!
Unable to move! The overwhelming Nine-Yin Nether Qi could dominate the surrounding aura entirely. She was like a stake, unable to move. Though not directly harmed, the powerful gust swept her over ten meters, slamming her into a tree.
Damn it!
At that moment, Ling Ruoxi cursed inwardly. As she fell, her hands gained strength, forcefully pushing off the ground and dodging. Like ancient bark, her energy rolled out, enveloping the barrier and surroundings—a nauseating sight.
“Use the Poison Scripture to shield yourself; it prevents Nine-Yin Nether Qi from corroding the body,” Ling Feng reminded, spinning his greatsword. He moved like a gust of wind, each strike forcibly splitting the incoming Nine-Yin Nether Qi.
Immediately focusing, Ling Ruoxi’s body was shielded by the purple aura. The Nine-Yin Nether Qi recoiled, then attacked Ling Feng and Luo Mingyu.
Luo Mingyu swung the bloodthirsty black scythe at the bark, unafraid of the aura. Yet the Nine-Yin Nether Qi summoned energy within his body, threatening to explode. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead as he inhaled sharply.
“Finish quickly. The Nine-Yin Nether Qi inside Mingyu is being reflected!” Thinking of something, Ling Feng backflipped, his right hand pressing down. The five Purple Bamboo Divine Needles shot outward simultaneously.
