    For you and for me

    As he spoke, golden light suddenly appeared under Wan Qiongju’s palm. As he turned his wrist, three talismans burning with red flames came out from between his fingers. With a wave of his forearm, the three talismans flew toward Bai Chengying like fire dragons.

    Bai Chengying spun his feet, holding the Star Sword in his hand, and waved a cold sword light in the void. The three fire dragons immediately shattered into sparks, fell to the ground, and finally turned into particles of black smoke.

    “I was too stupid in the past, Wan Qiongju, I should have sent you on your way earlier.” Bai Chengying held the sword in one hand and stroked the blade, “Anyway, Yin’an will hate me in the end.”

    Qiu Yin’an looked at the murderous look in Bai Chengying’s eyebrows and unconsciously held the knife a little harder. He knew Bai Chengying’s strength better than anyone else.

    In this world of cultivation, excluding those monks who have long since retired to seclusion, Bai Chengying’s magic is top-notch. What’s more, Bai Chengying and Chen Liang have also restored their hearts. The two magic powers nourish each other. Bai Chengying’s current strength is definitely better than before. He can’t help but worry about the battle that has not yet begun.

    If I had known this, it would be better to give it a try at Qingxuan Peak. After all, there are elders who can help. Why bother to lead Chen Liang all the way here?

    But if I had known this, these four words themselves are regrets that cannot be gone back. The only way to solve them is to face the difficulties.

    “Xiao Wan, not only has Chenliang’s magic power not been suppressed, Bai Chengying and Chenliang have also recovered their hearts. The situation is much worse than I expected. As of now, we can only bite the bullet and fight.”

    Qiu Yin’an looked at Wan Qiongju with heavy and worried eyes. He opened his lips slightly and asked very softly, “Are you afraid?”

    Wan Qiongju did not answer him immediately, but covered Qiu Yin’an’s cold hand with his warm palm. There was no worry on his face, and he comforted Qiu Yin’an in a gentle voice: “Master, it is my wish in this life to fight alongside you.”

    Wan Qiongju’s words about his wish for this life sounded more powerful than any words of love in the past. The heavy stone weighing on Qiu Yin’s heart suddenly became much lighter, and an invisible force surged through his body, urging him to win this battle.

    He wants those who fight alongside him to be safe and sound.

    Bai Chengying is now even better than in his heyday, and is undoubtedly the strongest among everyone present. Chenliang is similar in strength to himself, but with the blessing of the Soul Guardian Lamp, even if he fights Bai Chengying, he has a 70% chance of winning. Haidi is on the path of medicine cultivation, and although his combat power is weak, if he seizes the opportunity to spread poison and cast a spell, the situation of the battle will be reversed in an instant.

    As for Xiao Wan, his mana has skyrocketed this time and his spiritual flow is restless. Although he can temporarily channel strong spiritual power, his foundation is unstable and it will definitely be disadvantageous for him to fight for a long time. In this competition, the two of them, the master and the apprentice, are fighting against the other three, and the chance of winning seems slim.

    Wan Qiongju looked at the anxiety in Qiu Yin’an’s eyes and reached out to offer the soul-protecting lamp, “Master, take the soul-protecting lamp and settle things with Chen Liang. I will help you hold Bai Chengying down.”

    Bai Chengying laughed contemptuously, “Wan Qiongju, you really have never seen how powerful I am.”

    Qiu Yin’an pushed the soul-protecting lamp back with the back of his hand, “No, these three people are too dangerous. I have no time to protect you. I’ll leave the soul-protecting lamp for you to defend yourself.”

    Chen Liang looked greedily at the soul-protecting lamp held in Wan Qiongju’s palm, “The soul-protecting lamp is a gift from the gods. It is a magic weapon used to seal the demon clan. You actually defend him? Qiu Yin’an, a person like you who doesn’t care about the importance, what qualifications do you have to be the leader of a sect? You’d better just die.”

    “I don’t think it’s appropriate either.” Wan Qiongju tilted his head and smiled at Chen Liang, his smile bright but chilling, “This magic weapon should be used to take your life.”

    Bai Chengying’s narrow eyes surged with anger, “Wan Qiongju, when I cramp your muscles and peel off your bones later, I hope you can smile as brightly as you do now.”

    Qiu Yin’an stepped forward and held down half of Wan Qiongju’s shoulders. He raised his knife and pointed it at Bai Chengying, “If you want to touch him, it will be impossible unless I die.”

    Bai Chengying roared with a sneer. He looked at Qiu Yin’an with a teasing look in his eyes, “Yin’an, I don’t plan to let you go this time.”

    Wan Qiongju walked around Qiu Yin’an and cast a spell to integrate the soul-protecting lamp with Qiu Yin’an. He clasped Qiu Yin’an’s wrist with both hands, “Master, I don’t need your protection now. What I want is your trust. If you believe that I can fight alongside you, I will never hold you back. If you believe in me, I can also give us a stable future, okay?”

    Wan Qiongju’s voice was extremely soft but firm, “I can’t live under your protection forever. Please let me go once and let me try.”

    However, Bai Chengying is too strong.

    However, your spiritual power has increased dramatically and is not stable.

    But, I’m so worried about you.

    When the words came to his lips, Qiu Yin’an couldn’t say a single word. He understood that Wan Qiongju needed his trust at this moment, not his protection.

    Wan Qiongju leaned close to Qiu Yin’an’s ear and said, “Master, the most fearful person is to start a war. Trust me, I will help you lure Bai Chengying away. You will deal with Haidi and Chenliang. When you are finished, go to the Hemolytic Cave to support me. I will remember you in my heart and will not bear to die.”

    “Don’t say that unlucky word.” Qiu Yin’an was struggling crazily in his heart. He understood how much Wan Qiongju longed to be a fellow traveler walking side by side with him, instead of living under his protection all his life.

    After several struggles, Qiu Yin’an decided: “I will support you soon.”

    Qiu Yin’an raised his arms and held Wan Qiongju in his arms. The strength was obviously very determined. He turned his head and whispered in Wan Qiongju’s ear, “But you have to know how important you are in my heart. If anything happens to you, I will let you go. So, be sure to take care, for your sake and for my sake.”

    Wan Qiongju hugged Qiu Yin’an back and said, “Don’t worry, Master, I will never let you or I end up like this.”

    “That’s enough, I’ve had enough, Qiu Yin’an should be mine.” Bai Chengying’s eyes were filled with blood, and he was close to collapse, “It’s already this time, and if you still dare to hug each other and provoke me, Wan Qiongju, I will send you to hell.

    Even the Star Sword has erupted with a shrill buzz, and just like its master, it can’t wait to kill Wan Qiongju.

    Bai Chengying followed the sword and pierced Wan Qiongju’s heart. The sword was so fast that it even dragged out an afterimage in the void.

    Wan Qiongju took a step forward, leaned forward and retreated. Although the sword did not touch his body, the sharp sword energy still scratched his clothes.

    Qiu Yin’an’s heart twitched, but there was no other way.

    Instead of being afraid, Wan Qiongju raised a slightly mocking smile, “Bai Chengying, a person like you will never get my love. Even if he turns to ashes, he will deliberately avoid you and end up somewhere else.”

    Bai Chengying’s heart was stung by Wan Qiongju, and the murderous aura around him turned into the blazing spiritual power lingering on the Lianxing Sword. Veins popped up on his forehead, and he roared from the depths of his throat, “Go to hell, Wan Qiongju.””

    Bai Chengying made a move, but Wan Qiongju resisted with a magic talisman. He deliberately led Bai Chengying elsewhere. Although Qiu Yin’an was worried about Wan Qiongju, he also knew that the first thing was to kill Chen Liang. Only when Chen Liang died could the situation become favorable to their master and disciple.

    Qiu Yin’an activated the Soul Guard Lamp, and a vast force burst out from his Dantian, instantly penetrating every meridians of his body. In an instant, the two knives in his hands burst into dazzling light, “Chen Liang, your death has come.”

    Chen Liang knew that he alone could not defeat Qiu Yin’an who had the Soul Guard Lamp, so he shouted to Bai Chengying, “Chengying, come and deal with Qiu Yin’an as your master, and leave his little disciple alone.”

    Bai Chengying finally caught the opportunity and was able to deal with Wan Qiongju. In his eyes, he only had the desire to crush Wan Qiongju to ashes. He had no other thoughts and could not care about Chenliang’s life or death.

    Qiu Yin’an raised his sword and struck at Chen Liang. Every trace of the blade in the void was full of power. He slashed upwards along Chen Liang’s lower body, intending to split the man into three pieces.

    Chen Liang dodged in a spinning step, and was able to dodge the blade, but he couldn’t avoid the light shavings, and his whole body was burned with several blood marks by the light shavings.

    The violent energy of the pair of swords only increased. Qiu Yin’an continued to chop and chop. Chen Liang raised his sword and used all his strength to block it, but in the end it could not withstand the power that the god-given magic weapon brought to Qiu Yin’an.

    Chen Liang kept scolding Bai Chengying in his heart, “This evil disciple only has Qiu Yin’an in his mind. It is clear that the three generations of master and apprentice have the upper hand, but now Bai Chengying is chasing a young boy, causing him to face Qiu Yin’an’s attack alone. What’s the use of him?””

    The sharp blades continued to clash, emitting a sound that could shake the past and present. Chenliang glanced at the sea flute and said, “If you don’t help me yet, you are just like your master, who doesn’t let me worry.”

    Hai Di held three needles in his hand and replied indifferently: “Don’t worry, Lord, Hai Di will take action now.”

    The two knives in Qiu Yin’an’s hands stagnated for a moment. He stared closely at the needles in Hai Di’s hands. He saw Hai Di flicking the needles and pushing them with his inner strength. All three needles were stuck in Chen Liang’s neck.

    Chen Liang was mute for a moment as he roared, apparently unable to react. Qiu Yin’an took this opportunity and struck Chen Liang’s head with a knife. Then he turned his wrist and blood rained down around him.

    Chenliang Xianzun, who once was in charge of Qingxuan Peak, the best sect in the world, is now so dead that he can’t even put up a complete corpse.

    Qiu Yin’an didn’t understand what the three needles of the sea flute meant. Seeing that the sea flute had no intention of taking action, he immediately chased in the direction of the fight between Wan Qiongju and Bai Chengying.
