As Luo Xiu spoke, the air in the secret room suddenly beca silent.
In an instant, even the black-clad man who had co to catch the thief was puzzled by Luo Xiu.
In the midst of the silence.
The black-clad man suddenly laughed, looking at Luo Xiu with a contemptuous gaze, and asked, "You thieving dog that trespassed into the forbidden area, did you sleep your brain away?"
At this mont, Ma Yanran also felt utterly speechless towards Luo Xiu.
She used Divine Sense Communication to tell Luo Xiu, "Brother Bai, he's not one of us. He's an elite assassin from the Shadow Tower."
Luo Xiu replied via Divine Sense, "I know, it's obvious he's not with us."
"Then why did you..."
Ma Yanran was speechless once again.
She truly couldn't understand from where her brother had found such a bizarre big brother.
But the situation was already like this and thinking too much was of no help.
"No matter what, even if I risk my life... tonight we must ensure Xiaoyang escapes safely!"
Ma Yanran swore silently in her heart, and suddenly her figure flashed, turning into a shadow, leaping towards the black-clad man.
In just a mont, she pushed her own Profound Emperor-level aura to the extre!
Her first move was a killing blow!
"Xiaoyang, you two go first, I'll hold him off!"
"Boom!"
However, the next mont, Ma Yanran was struck flying, like a kite with its string cut in a gale.
At the sa ti, the secret room was filled with intense crimson light. The black-clad man's entire aura surged, and he struck a palm-strike pose, the slight curve of his lips exuding utmost disdain.
Just in that split second, it was he who casually struck Ma Yanran away with a palm.
"Ha, just a re Profound Emperor, and you dare to boast shalessly."
"You think you can hold off? You must know you're not even qualified to fight !"
In mid-air, Ma Yanran gritted her teeth and decisively began to activate her life-burning secret technique.
The gap between a Profound Emperor and Red Emperor was hard to bridge, only by risking her life could there be a chance for survival!
One way or another, she had to protect her brother and ensure his safe escape tonight!
But just as she was about to risk it all with her secret technique, a hand suddenly reached out to her back, its broad palm gentle but steady, absorbing the powerful impact in an instant, allowing her to land steadily.
Simultaneously, a strange force infiltrated her body, forcibly interrupting the life-burning secret technique she had activated.
Before she realized it, Luo Xiu, who had sohow appeared behind Ma Yanran, withdrew his hand, secretly amazed at the strength of this secret technique, having felt her aura multiply in that instant.
That temporarily boosted aura, even against the White Emperor, might hold up for a short ti in a fight.
Luo Xiu said calmly, "What's the rush?"
Ma Muyang quickly ran to support Ma Yanran, "Exactly, why are you in such a hurry? My big brother hasn't even acted yet. It's so hard to co by a laborer, if you kill him, then who's going to carry our coffin?"
Ma Yanran: "..."
Her current feelings could only be described as speechless.
Given the situation, these two youngsters were actually thinking about having soone carry the coffin!
Didn't they see that the person was a Red Emperor?!
At this mont, Luo Xiu spoke again, "Xiao Ma, take your sister and check if the corpse in the coffin is correct. I'll ta this black mule."
"Sure thing, big brother!"
"Brother Bai, you..."
Ma Yanran glared, looking at Luo Xiu with utter disbelief.
The opponent was a Red Emperor, and you, a re Dao Jade Realm, were charging to your death?
Luo Xiu ignored her, raising his eyes to the black-clad man ahead, intending to strike, but hesitated due to his physical condition, ultimately instructing Lao Ba, "I'm too lazy to act. Leave it to you."
Lao Ba fluttered his wings and flew toward the black-clad man, "Such a small fry, with a flap of my wings, I, Lao Ba, can handle it. Crown Prince, have a rest!"
"You damn little runt, dare to act up in front of your Eighth Master. Today, I won't let you shit clean!"
On the side, Ma Yanran seeing Luo Xiu dispatch a pet parrot, widened her eyes, about to intervene but froze the next mont, falling onto the ground with a jolt.
The overwhelming divine might suddenly filling the secret room, as if a deity had arrived, struck her with an instinctive fear from her soul.
Vaguely, she saw a colossal bird-shaped shadow in The Void.
"Is that... the Divine Beast Golden Crow?"
A mont later.
The now human-sized Lao Ba folded his wings, stepping on the head of the black-clad man, sneering, "A blunt knife, a skinny horse, what do you have to fight ?"
"What a dog-necked thing, and you dare wear black in front of your Eighth Master?"
Ma Muyang, full of admiration, gave a thumbs-up, "Eighth Master, you're aweso!"
At this mont.
The black-clad man's clothes were all burned off by Lao Ba, leaving only his shorts.
His face, swollen like a pig's head, bore clear bird claw marks.
Lao Ba suddenly shrank and flew to Luo Xiu's shoulder, chuckling, "Crown Prince, my strength was just right, dumb but not hurting the brain! Hurry up and put Divine Consciousness Forbidden on him to get him to work."
Luo Xiu nodded, stepping toward the black-clad man.
Ma Yanran glanced at Lao Ba on Luo Xiu's shoulder, then at Luo Xiu, wanting to say sothing, but stopped herself.
"No wonder this little guy was so confident, with such a Divine Beast guarding him."
"I just heard this Divine Beast senior call him Crown Prince... could he belong to a royal lineage from another world?"
"..."
...
Outside the Heavenly Azure Imperial Capital.
In a quiet courtyard nestled deep in the dense forest.
Lin Xiyue sat cross-legged, gazing at the bright moon in the night sky, strands of barely visible extre yin Spiritual Energy converging from all directions toward her.
"Dong dong dong."
Suddenly, there was a knock at the courtyard gate.
Lin Xiyue stopped channeling Qi, instantly flashing to the gate, and only after confirming the person outside was a friend did she open the gate embedded with a prohibition.
Seeing Jiang Hongyu standing outside drenched in blood, Lin Xiyue furrowed her brows, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Hongyu weakly waved his hand and walked through the gate, saying, "Fairy Xi Yue, I knew you'd be hiding here, not leaving the Lingtian Plateau just like that."
At his words, Lin Xiyue fell silent.
She certainly wouldn't abandon her dear sisters.
Even if that secret treasure was crucial, to her, it wasn't more important than her good sisters' safety.
After contemplating for a mont, Lin Xiyue said, "Young Master Jiang, I plan to devise a plan to rescue Stunning Phoenix..."
However, before she could finish speaking, she froze suddenly.
It was because Jiang Hongyu had stepped behind her and suddenly clasped his hand around her neck.
Dozens of slender chains flew out from Jiang Hongyu's sleeve, instantly wrapping around Lin Xiyue.
Lin Xiyue struggled with all her might, but to no avail.
"Young Master Jiang, what are you doing?!"
"This is the Immortal Phoenix Bone Chain, Fairy Xi Yue. If you don't want your body shattered, you'd best not try to resist."
Jiang Hongyu stepped in front of her, a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"Fairy Xi Yue, I'm sorry... I was useless, couldn't withstand Liu Shang's torture."
"And Liu Shang has promised , as long as I bring you to him, he will release Stunning Phoenix Immortal."
"For the sake of Stunning Phoenix Immortal, I could only betray you."
"Rest assured, Liu Shang admires you deeply, he won't harm you, and won't hand you over to the State Preceptor."
"..."
