Xuanxingzi Makes an Entrance, Do Me a Favor

Half an hour later.

Eight Destiny squads simultaneously pierced into the heart of the sea tribe from various directions.

The screen for Qin Luo and his team was restored.

This brought a sigh of relief from the audience.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the massive palace ruins at the seabed were fully exposed to everyone.

The palace's glazed dome had long collapsed, replaced by countless crimson tumors clinging to it, writhing like living creatures.

On the ground, thick black mist rolled, emitting a pungent stench of decay.

"What... what kind of place is this?"

Xiao Fei exclaimed in shock, his body covered in blood, indicating that the journey had not been easy.

Su Muwan and Qin Luo arrived late.

Su Muwan smacked her lips, savoring the memory of the earlier snack feast.

Qin Luo glanced over and reached out to wipe the chip crumbs from Su Muwan's mouth.

Hey! I saw that!

Where did you two sneak off to?!

Su Bailian's eyes widened instantly.

These two really went out to play! How dare they not take me!

At the front of the crowd.

"The sea tribe's lair has turned into this?"

Lin Xiyan wielded a sword made of grass and wood, a look of disgust flashing in her eyes. "It's truly revolting."

"Don't let your guard down."

Lu Chen carried a burning giant sword, speaking in a deep voice, "Something's off about this place; everyone be careful."

The group cautiously advanced, each step squelching on the sticky ground, making a "squelch, squelch" sound.

Suddenly, Xiao Fei, who was at the front, raised his hand sharply, signaling everyone to stop.

"Look over there!"

He pointed to the center of the lair.

The group followed his gaze.

In the center of the lair floated a massive, pulsating tumor, its surface covered with bluish-purple veins, rhythmically beating like a heart.

Surrounding the tumor were countless tiny tendrils, with bleeding eyeballs hanging from their tips, emitting an eerie red glow.

"What is that thing?"

Su Jiu'er furrowed her brow, the fan in her hand trembling slightly. "It looks... like the core of some monster."

"That's right."

Qin Luo's voice came from behind as he and Su Muwan walked up to the group, their eyes locked on the pulsating tumor.

Like an NPC offering a hint, he said, "That's the culprit behind the sea tribe's mutation. Once we destroy it, the sea tribe's invasion will completely collapse."

"Master Qin!!"

Seeing Qin Luo, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Muwan tilted her head.

Excuse me, did you not see me here?

Chu Xuan stepped forward, asking in a deep voice, "Master Qin, if we destroy that thing, will this all be over?"

Qin Luo nodded, his tone calm, "That's correct."

With these words, the team erupted into discussion.

"That simple? I thought we'd have to fight a few more battles!"

"Hmph, just a mere pulsating meatball, watch me slice it with one sword!"

"Oh, finally, we can end this; this place stinks so much I could puke."

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's finish this quickly; I don't want to stay in this hellhole any longer!"

Su Jiu'er flicked her fan, a flash of anger in her eyes, clearly still upset with her teammates' incompetence.

In the shadows.

Xuan Xingzi, Yan Lie, Ming Ku, and other powerful figures from the vast world hid in the shadows, their eyes fixed intently on the pulsating tumor.

"This... this doesn't feel right."

Xuan Xingzi's brows were furrowed, his voice tinged with unease, "The aura of this mother nest doesn't seem like that of an ordinary abomination."

"Indeed."

Yan Lie nodded, a flash of apprehension in his eyes, "This level of corruption is rare even in the vast world."

"Can the one destined by fate overcome this trial?"

Ming Ku murmured softly, a hint of doubt in his tone.

Xuan Xingzi did not respond, his gaze locked on the tumor, a sense of foreboding rising within him.

He tried to divine the situation by calculating, but found the lines of fate chaotic, as if obscured by some force.

"Something's wrong... terribly wrong..."

Xuan Xingzi murmured, a flicker of anxiety in his eyes.

Returning to Qin Luo's side.

As he glanced at the massive tumor, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

[Miss, don't hold back later, just finish it quickly.]

Su Muwan was thinking about ending the battle quickly to go home.

Upon hearing Qin Luo's voice.

She snorted softly.

[Of course, I want to go home and watch some shows today!]

[Today... hmm... we can indeed go home, but we'll need to change locations.]

[What?]

In reality.

Just as everyone was readying themselves to charge at the heart, a deep rumbling suddenly echoed from the depths of the sea.

Immediately, an overwhelmingly powerful aura surged like a storm, sweeping in with endless murderous intent.

"Boom—!"

An invisible shockwave exploded, catching everyone off guard, forcibly sending them flying.

Su Muwan reacted the fastest, her form flickered, and cold air transformed into an ice wall in front of Qin Luo and herself.

Her eyes darkened, "Courting death."

Lu Chen stabbed his sword into the ground to stabilize himself, shouting angrily, "What the hell is this?!"

"Who?!"

Lin Xiyan gripped her long sword tightly, her gaze wary as she scanned the surroundings.

As the dust settled, a figure slowly emerged from the black mist.

It was a woman, her long hair dyed blood-red, her blue clothes tattered, her skin covered in eerie blue-purple patterns, her pupils burning with crimson light.

She held a dark purple lightning whip in her hand, and with every step she took, the stone slabs on the seabed cracked, her aura overwhelmingly oppressive.

This person was...

"Chu Yu!"

Qin Luo was startled.

Then he widened his eyes, his tone filled with three parts shock, three parts disappointment, and four parts horror, "You... how did you become like this?!"

"Heh!"

Chu Yu laughed coldly, her gaze sweeping over everyone.

Finally, she locked onto Su Bailian, who was shrinking back, the murderous intent in her eyes almost tangible, "Why did I become like this?! You still have the nerve to ask!!"

"I became this way because!!!"

She pointed at Su Bailian, screaming, "Su Bailian! You wretch! It's all because of you!"

Su Bailian shivered in fear, quickly hiding behind her teammates, her voice trembling, "Chu, Chu Senior Sister... I, I didn't do anything... don't scare me..."

Hiss!!

This is bad, this is bad, this is bad!

How did this person end up like this?

Wasn't she taken away by the Sea Clan?

"Didn't do anything?!"

Chu Yu roared, lashing out with a thunder whip that churned the sea: "The trap at Tianlei Peak, the humiliation at the sect's grand ceremony, the mechanisms in the Ice Cave, forcing me to cripple my own cultivation in front of everyone... dare you say it wasn't you?!!!"

"Woo woo woo!! I didn't know about the first few! The last one! Wasn't it you who wanted to cripple your own cultivation?!"

Su Bailian was shocked. I admit to the first few, but the last one truly has nothing to do with me!

On the other side.

Qin Luo's tone was heavy, tinged with disappointment as he cried out mournfully: "Chu Yu! Why have you allowed yourself to fall so low? You were the prodigy of the Taichu Sanctuary, why have you turned to that evil entity behind you?!"

Su Muwan watched in bewilderment from the side.

Hey, hey, hey... you're overacting, Qin Luo.

The audience will easily see through it as fake, you know.

"Fallen so low?"

Chu Yu threw her head back and laughed wildly, the sound sharp and mournful: "What do you understand? I was betrayed, framed, abandoned by everyone!"

"This power is my last hope! I will crush all of you hypocrites!"

"First Su Bailian! Then her sister! And then you!!"

"You all must die for me!!"

As her words fell, she swung the thunder whip fiercely, dark purple lightning roaring like a frenzied dragon, charging at everyone.

Crazy!!!

The word popped into everyone's mind.

What on earth did she go through to become like this?

Su Jiu'er empathized as she glanced at Su Bailian, who was trembling at the back.

I've only been teamed up with her for half an hour, and I can't take it anymore.

Let alone her senior sister.

"Who cares about all that!! I'll cut her down first!!"

Lu Chen roared, his giant sword blazing with fire as he charged forward.

"All together!"

Lin Xiyan's figure flickered, her grass and wood sword slicing a beam of light towards the thunder whip.

"Interesting."

Ye Wudao licked his lips, his dark gold dagger flashing as he slipped into the shadows, quietly circling behind Chu Yu.

"Rise..."

Xiao Fei murmured softly, black coffin chains dancing wildly, trying to entangle Chu Yu, only to be shattered by her whip, the ominous aura scattering.

"Die!"

Su Jiu'er gritted her teeth, her folding fan unleashing countless dark red blades.

They shot towards Chu Yu, carrying a bewitching aura, but were all deflected by the lightning surrounding her.

Qin Luo watched, internally grumbling.

Seriously.

All your attacks are ineffective.

You can't handle evil entities; how are we supposed to play this game?

In the shadows.

Xuan Xingzi's expression was stiff as he watched Chu Yu wildly swinging her thunder whip.

He was certain that this was his chess piece.

But... no wonder he couldn't predict his chess piece's situation.

Turns out...

This was a fall beyond redemption!

Usually, people destined by fate who get tainted by evil can eventually recover.

After all, most of them don't willingly fall.

But this... this is different.

This is clearly a voluntary fall!

Xuan Xingzi looked towards Su Bailian at the back.

What exactly did this person do to his chess piece?!

Damn it... Even Xuan Xingzi didn't know what to do in this situation.

Should he let this group kill his chess piece?

But now it seems implausible...

This group seems unable to defeat Chu Yu.

Just as he was thinking.

A figure moved.

"Noisy."

Su Muwan snorted coldly, raised her hand, and a chill transformed into an ice dragon to meet the attack.

Seeing this, Chu Yu swung her thunder whip directly.

Boom!!

The two forces collided violently, exploding into a shockwave, causing a massive wave under the sea.

Everyone was knocked over by the momentum, rolling in all directions.

They looked up in shock: "Is this the true strength of Miss Su?"

"Truly deserving of her reputation!"

"This kind of battle is beyond our reach?"

Ye Wudao sighed: "Our strength is still not enough to participate in battles of this level..."

In fact, they had already learned quite a bit about Su Muwan's strength from various media reports.

But they were still a bit skeptical.

After all...

Is there really someone so exaggeratedly strong?

Now, seeing it firsthand, the Chu Yu they couldn't handle together, Su Muwan managed to suppress alone?

Su Jiu'er thought of Su Bailian again and glanced at her.

It seemed that since Su Muwan had taken action, Su Bailian was no longer afraid.

She even seemed relieved.

Are these two really sisters...

"Why, why, why!!"

Chu Yu, battered and bloodied, screamed: "Why did you obstruct me in the past life!"

"And in this life too!!"

Past life?

What past life?

Miss Su didn't remember meeting you in a past life?

There was no way, in the past life, Su Muwan had killed too many people by the end.

Even more than half of the Martial Arts Alliance had been slaughtered by her.

She really didn't remember these small roles who didn't survive till the end.

Su Muwan sneered, clenched her hand, and an ice spear formed: "What nonsense are you talking about."

Her figure flashed, and the ice spear shot out like a meteor, aiming straight for Chu Yu's chest.

Fear finally appeared in Chu Yu's eyes. She desperately swung her thunder whip in Su Muwan's direction.

Then she abandoned all defenses, roaring towards Su Bailian: "Even if I die!! I'll drag you down with me!!"

"Su Bailian! Die with me!!!"

Chu Yu was enveloped in lightning.

Her right hand swung out, and the flying hand gradually transformed into a giant serpent, lunging towards Su Bailian.

"Eek!!!"

Su Bailian trembled in fear: "Sister, save me!!"

Seeing this, Su Muwan pursed her lips, moved her right hand, and another ice spear shot towards the serpent charging at Su Bailian.

At the same time.

The ice spear aimed at Chu Yu was about to pierce her body.

Her vision gradually blurred, the world before her seemed shrouded in a thin mist, and the sounds around her became distant and indistinct.

Ah...

So warm...

Am I dying...

She saw herself standing on the mountaintop of the Sacred Land of Primordial Beginning, the sunset's afterglow bathing her.

The voice of her adoptive father echoed in her ears.

[Chu Yu, you're slacking off again!]

[Who's slacking off? I'm training.]

[Training? I think you're daydreaming?]

"Hehe, Master found me. I was just wondering what my senior brothers are up to today."

"Hmph, you little rascal. Come on, I'll take you to see what your senior brothers are doing!"

"Master, why are you so good to me?"

"You silly child, you're my daughter. How could I not be good to you?"

Life back then... was truly wonderful...

But...

"Chu Yu, why did you do this!!"

"Master, I did nothing wrong. It was Su Bailian who..."

"Enough!!"

"Chu Yu, you have deeply disappointed me!!"

Chu Yu's vision gradually cleared, and the icy spear was already close to her chest.

She looked at Su Muwan's cold gaze, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

"Why... why does nobody believe me..."

Her voice carried a hint of despair, and a tear slid down her cheek.

"Perhaps... I should never have trusted anyone from the start..."

Chu Yu closed her eyes, ready to embrace the impending death.

But in the next moment.

Crack!!!!

The icy spear shattered instantly, scattering into countless ice crystals on the ground, cold air permeating everywhere.

What... just happened?

Chu Yu froze, instinctively looking up at the sky.

A figure slowly descended.

It was an elder draped in a starry robe, his hair and beard white, his expression exuding authority and depth.

Countless starry illusions surrounded him, as if he had the entire universe under his command.

Everyone present was stunned.

Including those watching the live broadcast.

Who is this?

He actually shattered Miss Su's icy spear??

This person.

Was Xuan Xingzi.

He had intervened after all, for he couldn't let his chess piece be extinguished in this small world.

With Xuan Xingzi's appearance, everyone felt an unparalleled sense of pressure.

This was... absolute power suppression!!!

"My young friend, grant me this favor."

"Spare her life for now."
