<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, Hong Yu felt a sense of relief in her heart.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If it weren't for her having alliance with Chen Lang, and if Chen Lang didn't have the means to track Lin Ying, Lin Ying might have truly succeeded this time.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then, Hong Yu might never have had the chance to pull Lin Ying down from her position as the Holy Maiden in her lifetime.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Have you been following us all this time?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying's expression was extremely dark.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She had been very careful this time, constantly scanning a wide range with her divine consciousness, yet she had never detected Hong Yu and the others.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Hearing this, Chen Lang, who was holding a folding fan with Lin Ying's enchanting figure painted on it, smiled and said, "Ying'er, you didn't think that the beauty on my Qiankun Fan was just for show, did you?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When I painted you, I went to great lengths to imbue it with your aura.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When we reached this place, I could easily track your position using the portrait of you on the fan."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After a pause, he continued, "The reason I didn't reveal myself immediately was because I wanted to see what your goal was this time.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I never expected that you could actually awaken the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body of the Shadow Sword Immortal.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But since you possess this attribute, I am even more attracted to you."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, Chen Lang's eyes grew increasingly fervent, but when he glanced at the black mist above the Shadow Sword Immortal's tomb, he couldn't help but feel a sense of danger.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang was determined to possess Lin Ying. If he failed to achieve this goal, his Dao Heart might suffer damage.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If Lin Ying were to successfully inherit the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body, she would surpass him in both status and strength.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But now, the situation was just right for them!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Fellow Daoist Zou! Fellow Daoist Qiu!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As Chen Lang's words fell, Lin Ying's expression became even more serious.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She subtly took a step back, positioning herself closer to Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao, and closer to the Shadow Sword Immortal's tomb.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Just as Lin Ying made her move, Chen Lang's expression suddenly changed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In an instant, the Qiankun Fan in his hand flew out, rapidly enlarging to form a towering wall between Lin Ying and the Shadow Sword Immortal's tomb.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Ying'er, I don't think now is the right time for you to claim this Shadow Immortal's spirit body.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">On the day of our wedding, let my grandfather personally oversee the process. With his help, the fusion between you and the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body will surely proceed without a hitch.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Attempting to merge with it now is far too risky,"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although his intentions were clear, his words sounded as if he was genuinely concerned for Lin Ying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His serious tone even made it seem like there was some logic to his argument.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying ignored him, her aura becoming increasingly elusive and sharp.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A green long sword had already appeared in her hand.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She knew that if Hong Yu and Chen Lang were determined to stop her, it would be impossible for her to enter the Shadow Sword Immortal's tomb smoothly.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If Chen Lang and the others attacked the tomb or its formations while she was attempting to enter, she had no idea what might happen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A battle was now inevitable.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, Su Jingzhen and the other two exchanged glances, feeling somewhat resigned.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It seemed like they had work to do.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I knew that Chen Lang wouldn't be easy to deal with.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But if we kill him here, his grandfather, the Third Elder, shouldn't be able to take me directly from the Sword Qi Corridor, right?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A murderous intent began to condense around him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen knew that he had already earned Chen Lang's enmity back at the Super Teleportation Array.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Facing an opponent with such formidable strength, cunning, and history, the best course of action was to eliminate him once and for all.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Otherwise, he would face an endless and powerful retaliation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Oh? You want to kill me?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang immediately sensed Su Jingzhen's murderous intent.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He looked somewhat surprised, and then found it amusing.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"In Sword Land, you're the first person to openly show such a murderous intent towards me.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zou Zeyu, right? You're really something. I admire you."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang's tone remained light and mocking.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then he glanced at the eight others behind him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His voice suddenly turned cold, "Apart from Ying'er and this Zou Zeyu, kill the rest!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As soon as these words were spoken, the auras of the eight members of Hong Yu's team surged.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">All of them were at the late stage of the Mystic Immortal Realm!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Hong Yu's face was filled with excitement. She had waited for this moment for far too long.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After today, she would become the tenth Holy Maiden of the Sword Land!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">And once she became the Holy Maiden, her position would be far more secure than Lin Ying's.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, she seemed to see the boundless glory of her future.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sensing the strength of Hong Yu's team, Lin Ying's expression changed again.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She knew that such a lineup wasn't just cannon fodder; these were probably the true elites of the Chen Clan.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although the Chen Clan was also a first-rate force, they were much stronger than the Lin Clan.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, the fact that they were willing to deploy their core disciples to target her showed just how determined Chen Lang was to possess her.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This... this has nothing to do with us.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Young Master Chen, spare us! We were also forced by Lin Ying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In truth, we never wanted to assist her. We were forced by the Lin clan in Tiansnow City."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"That's right, that's right. We only followed her here because we had no choice."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Please, Young Master Chen, Holy Maiden Hong Yu, spare our lives.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Just let us go and fend for ourselves in the Sword Qi Corridor."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The three helpers Lin Ying had recruited were only at the mid-stage of the Mystic Immortal Realm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When they sensed the strength of the other side, they had already given up any thought of resisting.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The gap in power was not just a little bit; it was overwhelming.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They knew that once the battle began, they would be completely crushed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There was no chance of victory.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Begging for mercy might be their only hope for survival.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this, Chen Lang and the others sneered: "Heh, you're quite reasonable and self-aware, but your realization is coming a bit too late."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang chuckled, even though his words clearly went over the heads of the three of them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But it didn't matter.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Just as they finished pleading for mercy, Lin Ying's killing intent reached its peak.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without a word, she made a subtle hand gesture, and the auras of the three of them suddenly fluctuated. A sharp, lethal energy flashed through them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The next moment, all three of them had mysteriously lost their vitality. Their faces were still filled with fear, but they had already become lifeless corpses.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before the battle had even begun, three more had been lost.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now, only Su Jingzhen, and the other two remained on her side.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen narrowed his eyes. At the moment the three of them had died, he had clearly sensed a familiar fluctuation in energy.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was the same energy that Lin Ying had used on them earlier to help them resist the sharp sword qi within the Sword Qi Corridor.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The same technique had also been used on Su Jingzhen and the other two.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even though Su Jingzhen and his companions were special and Lin Ying couldn't kill them instantly, if she activated the technique, it would still cause them significant trouble.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It seemed that they had underestimated Lin Ying's methods.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Little Green!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Su Jingzhen's consciousness called out to Little Green.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With Little Green's current abilities, it naturally understood Su Jingzhen's situation and what he needed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A huge yet gentle wave of world energy surged out, enveloping Su Jingzhen, Qiu Yaoyao, and Shengana.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Little Green didn't directly remove the energy that Lin Ying had placed on them. Instead, she layered a higher level of energy over it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This allowed Lin Ying to still sense the energy's presence, but prevented her from activating it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Once this was done, Su Jingzhen relaxed slightly.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He then borrowed Little Green's energy for himself.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">All of this was done quickly and discreetly.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even Qiu Yaoyao, who was closest to Su Jingzhen, didn't notice anything.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, both Qiu Yaoyao and Shengana looked grim, their anger toward Lin Ying growing.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Young master..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shengana looked at Su Jingzhen, hoping that he would come up with a plan.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I can handle this."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ying's voice rang out again.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Traitors and cowards deserve to die.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Fellow Daoist Zou, Fellow Daoist Qiu, Fellow Daoist Shen, this time I really need your help."
