Chapter 261 - 260: Don’t Even Think of Passing the Buck to Me

Chapter 261: Chapter 260: Don’t Even Think of Passing the Buck to Me

Everyone looked towards Xie Jiuniang with a gaze filled with awe.

Without shedding any blood, she had dealt with an old Divinity Transformation, something they might not have been able to achieve against Kongyu.

Xie Jiuniang had an innocent face, "It wasn’t me, really, it wasn’t!"

"It has nothing to do with me."

"Don’t even think about pinning this on me!"

Three consecutive denials, clear and resonant.

Silence fell upon the surroundings in an instant.

The ones who most wanted to see Xie Jiuniang dead were the Divinity Transformations from the aristocratic families; nobody knew the torment they were feeling inside at the moment.

Kill!

She must be killed!

The Child of Destiny!

The variable of this world.

If she does not die, it means the extinction of the seven major families!

It was the ancestor of the Ao Family who had calculated this great calamity, at the cost of a thousand years of their lifespan, suffering severe backlash, with not much longer to live.

The current situation...

Was Xie Jiuniang the kind of person who would just stand there and take hits?

She collected the sweet dew into a Small Jade Bottle and then swiftly ran towards Lord Guangcheng.

However.

The moment she moved!

The stalemate was directly broken, with a large hand of Spiritual Power suddenly reaching towards Xie Jiuniang.

"Fuck, bullying with superior strength, lacking in martial virtue! The seven major families have no shame!" Xie Jiuniang’s delicate cry carried very far.

Lord Guangcheng roared angrily, "Nangong, you old ghost! Hundreds of years have passed, and you’re still as insidious as ever."

He moved instantly to shield Xie Jiuniang from the large hand.

However, where one person made a move, a second would follow.

Another person made a move against Xie Jiuniang.

Amongst the Divinity Transformations, Xie Jiuniang, a newly advanced Minor Golden Core, was evidently an easy target for everyone. She also felt very helpless.

The Child of Destiny was a double-edged sword.

Opportunity and crisis coexisted.

Lord Guangcheng was too occupied to lend a hand, and Lord Ziyang also made a move!

Not counting the half-crippled ancestor of the Wu Family, Kongyu, there were four Divinity Transformations!

Two had taken action!

The other two looked towards Lord Xiaoyuan.

Lord Xiaoyuan’s thoughts shifted, and a Heavy Sword appeared in his right hand, "Do you two want to join me in stretching my muscles and bones together?"

"This matter has nothing to do with the Sword Sect; why bother getting involved?" one of the Divinity Transformations asked.

Lord Xiaoyuan spoke with profound meaning, "I am intervening on a personal basis, but the Ao Family from the Southeast Sea really surprised me."

"It is surprising!"

Xie Jiuniang had somehow slipped behind him, "One of the key supporters behind Tianji Building, a fish that escaped the net in the past."

Lord Xiaoyuan, "..."

Why are you everywhere?

Xie Jiuniang then cheerfully said, "Lord Xiaoyuan, Yuanxi, your disciple, and your other disciple, Song Baobao, are good friends. Last time in the Lu Yuan Secret Realm, I roasted beast eggs with her."

Hearing about the last Lu Yuan Secret Realm did not improve Lord Xiaoyuan’s expression much.

Guangcheng was right, she really was a headache!

Lord Xiaoyuan told her to get lost and keep her distance to avoid accidental injury if a fight broke out.

Xie Jiuniang was indifferent to Lord Xiaoyuan’s aloofness. Once again, she felt lucky to have the backing of her Sect, otherwise, she would have been at someone’s mercy in this situation all on her own.

These two Divinity Transformations hadn’t made a move!

Lord Xiaoyuan was a Sword Cultivator!

A Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator, at that, which showed his strength; facing two at once, was no big deal.

Xie Jiuniang looked towards the onlookers who were watching the show with a sly glint in her eyes and transmitted her voice, "Lord Xiaoyuan, do you think we can ask for their help?"

"They have a grudge with your grandmaster, Qiansha," Lord Xiaoyuan replied succinctly.

Xie Jiuniang, "..."

That meant she had to worry about being kicked while down.

Lord Xiaoyuan saw through her thoughts but paid her no attention.

At that moment, an Ao Family Divinity Transformation said, "Xiaoyuan, we are here today out of sheer necessity."

"To kill a junior, mobilizing five Divinity Transformations at once, what kind of necessity is this? Spin me a tale I can listen to," Lord Xiaoyuan’s response was intriguing.

That was something difficult to respond to!

Could it be that the sins committed by their ancestors were affecting their descendants? Was the Child of Destiny of this generation the one they were fated to face in calamity? Or were they attempting to eradicate the source of the disaster before it fully emerged?

Once one reaches a certain realm in Divinity Transformation, they can perceive a sliver of the divine premonition.

If they didn’t take action today, it would become even more difficult in the future.

The Ao Family’s Divinity Transformation practitioner said helplessly, "I came here just to secure a lifeline for my clan members. Xiaoyuan, my apologies."

This person’s attacks were lethal from the start.

He didn’t want to give Lord Xiaoyuan a chance to free his hands to face two opponents at once.

Another person made a move at almost the same time, not targeting Lord Xiaoyuan but with a clear goal, to kill Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang’s expression was grave.

These people had moved from hiding in the shadows to open confrontation, not bothering to conceal their murderous intent anymore!

This put her at an even greater disadvantage!

If they had any sense of shame, they might have shown some restraint. But if they became shameless, then there would be no holding back.

In Xie Jiuniang’s right hand was a mysterious Broken Sword.

Sword Drawing Technique!

A barely successful block!

However, the residual force from the Divinity Transformation blasted her dozens of feet back, causing her to stagger a few times before she could steady herself.

Before Xie Jiuniang could catch her breath, the Divinity Transformation assailant’s second strike aimed directly for her brow!

The speed of Divinity Transformation was too fast!

So fast that Xie Jiuniang couldn’t even hide inside the Small Tortoise Shell or enter the Fusang Secret Realm, let alone when the opponent intended to kill her without fail. The oppressive aura of Divinity Transformation pressed down on her like a heavy mountain, all of it bearing down upon her!

"Pu..."

A metallic taste rose in Xie Jiuniang’s throat.

At that moment, Lord Guangcheng roared in anger, "Su Buhui! If she dies, Tianxu Sect will massacre the entire Su Family of the Northern Region!"

The heart of the Su Family’s Divinity Transformation practitioner was struck with terror.

And thus, his movements hesitated!

Just in that split second, Xie Jiuniang before his eyes had disappeared.

She was swept away by a tall man.

Xie Jiuniang hadn’t seen who had saved her. The man held her in his embrace, and in just the time it takes to snap one’s fingers, he exchanged several moves with the Su Family’s Divinity Transformation practitioner, leaving her ears ringing and deaf for a good while.

Being held in someone’s arms like a child, with only his breath in her nostrils, the scent was alluring.

Not any kind of fragrance she had smelled before, it was an indescribable aroma, slightly resembling the long-lasting scent of sandalwood...

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Jian Lingyan was going crazy, "Dog master, you’re going to be doomed!"

Xie Jiuniang, "..."

What had this creature noticed?

"Heh!"

A light, mocking laugh came from above her head.

The voice was incredibly attractive, easily touching the deepest chord in one’s heart.

Thumping rapidly.

"Demon Emperor! Are you trying to oppose us?"

The Su Family’s Divinity Transformation practitioner asked with a heavy voice.

Another laugh answered him. It was the laugh of dominance and willfulness, lasting until the laughter ceased, "This Emperor does as he pleases. What can you do to me?"

Xie Jiuniang was shocked.

Damn, her rescuer was the Demon Emperor?!

No wonder Jian Lingyan said she was doomed. Falling into the hands of the Demon Emperor was no different from falling into the hands of an enemy, was it?

The Demon Tribe did not hold the Human race in regard.

Suddenly, there was a loud boom.

The Demon Emperor made his move, single-handedly smashing the Su Family’s Divinity Transformation practitioner toward the ground, forcefully creating a huge crater. The dust that was thrown up buried the Su Family’s practitioner in the blink of an eye.

It was extremely simple and brutal!

The commotion here was too great, causing the others high in the sky to simultaneously stop their battles.

Guangcheng and Ziyang abandoned their opponents.

In an instant, they arrived a few dozen feet to the left and right of the Demon Emperor and stood firm.

Ziyang said, "Demon Emperor, our previous deal is done."

"What are you trying to say?" the Demon Emperor asked.

"The person in your arms is a disciple of our Sect. Can you let her go?"

"No, she was saved by this Emperor." His tone as if to say, the person I saved is my toy, and from now on, she’s mine.

Everyone: "..."

Xie Jiuniang, "..."
