From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

As time passed, the battle in the sky became increasingly fierce, with a steady stream of armies incessantly joining the fray, piling on the pressure for Jiang Ling.

The lowest realm of these soldiers was the Azure Sky Realm, and there were a total of twenty-one experts in the middle phase of the Xuan Yang Realm! Each one a veteran of a hundred battles! Coupled with various large formations' enhancement and the assistance of elixirs, even two ninth-order Void Beasts would probably not last more than a few minutes.

At this moment, the ground was littered with piles of corpses, and Jiang Ling regretfully had not exerted her full strength against the weaker soldiers because she had not forgotten her original intention to kill those in the Central Area and change the current marriage rules for cultivators.

These soldiers were the main fighting force of humanity against the Void, so she naturally couldn't kill too many of them, but rather focused her attacks on certain stubborn clan heads.

During the battle, Jiang Ling also tried to avoid harming the female soldiers of the Nine Heavens Corps; after all, they were under Mu Huanqing's command. At most, Jiang Ling would inflict serious injuries on them without taking their lives.

And precisely because there were so many, she didn't unleash her full power, making it seem as if she was at a disadvantage as the situation progressed.

"She's starting to weaken! Increase the offensive! Exhaust her to death!"

Seeing this, a group of Xuan Yang Realm experts intensified their attacks even more, each seeming to see the dawn of victory.

"Jiang Ling! Today you killed the younger generation of my Fang Family! I will make you pay with blood for blood!"

Seeing this, Fang Ye no longer hid behind a group of experts; he ran to the front and lashed out at Jiang Ling with a palm. Although the strike was futile, it at least showed his rage over Fang Ren's death.

Whiz—

A streak of black light struck, and Fang Ye, who had just advanced to attack, felt a chill in his arm followed by an immediate retreat, clutching his severed limb, full of regret.

This damn moment of showing off had disastrously backfired on him!

Seeing his severed limb, Fang Ye immediately started shouting as he flew to a far spot on the ground, fell there, clenched his teeth, and closed his eyes in struggle, as if his entire being was about to perish.

In reality, Jiang Ling's slash wasn't aimed at him at all; it was merely the energy fluctuations that had severed his arm. Moreover, such a wound was nothing for an expert at the pinnacle of the Yingyue Realm; at most, it caused momentary pain.

The reason Fang Ye's expression was so exaggerated was simply that he had embarked on another path of pretense—since he couldn't pretend to be a strong warrior, why not feign complete uselessness?

After all, that Jiang Ling would ultimately die, and Fang Ren's death at Jiang Ling's hands exhilarated Fang Ye.

What thrilled him even more was that today, Jiang Ling had to die, as he had finally confirmed that the breakthrough to the Xuanyang realm a few days ago had not been Mu Huanqing but this Jiang Ling.

As long as Jiang Ling died, the greatest threat to the Patriarch of the Fang family in this world would vanish—a boon to his plans that was better than any assistance.

"In about five more minutes, the main force from the second area will arrive! Everyone, hold on! We absolutely cannot let this criminal, a hazard to our kin, escape!"

A general roared, desperately attacking Jiang Ling, disregarding his own wounds, retreating only when he had sustained enough injuries to swallow an elixir and then turning back to continue the fight.

Suddenly, all the generals and warriors followed suit, no longer caring how precious their pills were, just recklessly consuming them.

As the morale of the generals and soldiers around her surged, Jiang Ling's heart grew increasingly tense—what kind of child had Mu Huanqing actually borne, taking so long? Was she giving birth to Nezha?

Just when her anxiety peaked, suddenly, a white light burst forth from the black barrier below, piercing through the barrier and shooting straight into the night sky, instantly turning the thousands of miles around as bright as day.

The group of soldiers was stunned by this sight; they all recognized that white aura—it was Mu Huanqing's creation Immortal Essence!

"Is Madame Xuan inside?"

"I saw Madame Xuan land here just now; it's true! This Jiang Ling actually sealed Madame Xuan away!"

"Protect Madame Xuan! Don't let the enemy get close!"

...

Boom boom boom——

The black barrier shattered instantaneously, and the scene unfolding before everyone's eyes was that of Mu Huanqing, clad in armor, holding Fang Ren in her arms with his body covered in blood and his eyes closed; no one knew if Fang Ren was dead or alive.

"Jiang Ling! You've harmed the future of the human race! You shall pay the price today!"

With a roar of fury, Mu Huanqing's True Qi of fate and fortune burst forth, and she hurled her Silver Long Spear at Jiang Ling without hesitation.

Jiang Ling immediately sidestepped Mu Huanqing's attack, glanced at her below, and felt baffled. What kind of act were these two putting on? Turning gratitude into revenge the moment they arrived? And where was the child? Had it not been born?

Ping ping ping——

While Jiang Ling was confused, a series of shattering sounds like glass breaking suddenly came from behind her. She turned to look, only to see that Mu Huanqing's Silver Long Spear had pierced through the three suppression Arrays behind her.

Only then did Jiang Ling come to her senses. It turned out that Mu Huanqing had gone along with everyone's misunderstanding to hide the true reason for her appearance here, pretending that Jiang Ling wanted to kill Fang Ren, and that Mu Huanqing had arrived just in time to save him.

Thus, Mu Huanqing's frantic descent to this place, creating such a commotion, also had a very reasonable explanation.

Although it was uncertain whether the child had been born or not, one thing was clear: Mu Huanqing wasn't truly trying to kill her, but was finding a way to help her out of the predicament.

Jiang Ling felt helpless and could only keep playing along with Mu Huanqing's script.

"Mu Huanqing! I never expected you to be able to save him from my curse!" Jiang Ling spouted nonsense. She didn't know what curse she was talking about.

A surge of energy welled up in her, pushing back the group of generals around her, and with True Qi swirling around her Black Knife, she launched an attack towards Mu Huanqing.

With a face full of rage, Mu Huanqing tossed Fang Ren to a female warrior of the Nine Heavens Corps and charged towards Jiang Ling.

Boom boom boom——

In an instant, the two top-tier combatants clashed, leaving the surrounding soldiers with no chance to intervene, only able to maintain the Arrays suppressing Jiang Ling from the periphery.

In the midst of the fight, Jiang Ling did not use her full strength, and Mu Huanqing didn't employ her most powerful formations. They fought chaotically while moving about.

They advanced from the sky above the guesthouse directly into an Array, and without a word, Mu Huanqing broke through the Array suppressing Jiang Ling. The onlookers, thinking that Madame Xuan had lost her advantage against Jiang Ling of the Yingyue Realm, did not think too much of it.

However, after a short while of fighting, Mu Huanqing and Jiang Ling had already broken half of the camp's Arrays meant for suppression. Jiang Ling could have easily escaped unobstructed.

Yet, to make the act seem more real, Jiang Ling deliberately allowed Mu Huanqing to slash her arm and then feigned shock, looking at Mu Huanqing, "You... how can you possess the strength of the Yingyue Realm!"

"Enough talk!"

Not being one for acting, Mu Huanqing could only roar angrily and continue attacking Jiang Ling with her Silver Long Spear.

The surrounding generals, seeing Madame Xuan gaining the upper hand, immediately formed a stronger suppression ring.

A hint of fear appeared on Jiang Ling's face. She then slapped Mu Huanqing and turned to rush towards the weakest part of the Formation.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Mu Huanqing's True Qi surged throughout her body as she chased after her.

Their power levels being so high, they easily smashed through the weakest part of the camp, turning into two streaks of light that vanished into the sky.
