Chapter 1253 - 1252: One-Stop Dragon Service for Killing and Saving
Saintess Qingxin’s pupils contracted suddenly.
Although rationally she knew she couldn’t possibly escape, emotionally she felt there was still a chance to save herself.
The only path to survival was Du Yueyao.
She had already tried Lu Zheng; although his cultivation wasn’t as high as hers, his foundation of Innate Cloud Qi was unfathomable. In a normal magical combat, she might not even win.
As for Du Yueyao, she had only been cultivating for a few years; how deep could her cultivation be?
As long as she could capture her and take her as a hostage, she could leave with her, and then force out from her mouth the most complete version of "Su Nu’s Prayer Method." Combined with her own "Holy Goddess Descent Technique," she might be able to break through the limit on the number of Divine Descents and hence become immortal, living as long as the heavens!
Seeing the Fire Phoenix forming above her head, Saintess Qingxin didn’t dodge but rather carried it behind her, charging directly at Du Yueyao.
However, just as she was halfway there, another phoenix burning with fierce flames appeared before her.
Saintess Qingxin, "..."
"Chirp!"
"Chirp!"
After two sharp and resonant Phoenix cries, the two Fire Phoenixes, one in front and one behind, enclosed Saintess Qingxin, forming a cage of flames.
"Ah!!!"
Saintess Qingxin screamed miserably, remarkably enduring the pain of the divine fire burning her body, struggling to fly, still intending to drag Du Yueyao with her to die together.
However, Saintess Qingxin couldn’t fly beyond three zhang before she lost sight of the path ahead, fully defending herself, barely resisting the God Destruction pain of the Phoenix Divine Fire scorching her body.
Even the high monks of the Great Brahma Heaven Temple couldn’t withstand it for a moment; on what virtue or ability did Saintess Qingxin have, thinking she could pull Du Yueyao down in front of Si Lingxi?
"Boom!"
The Phoenix Divine Fire erupted, the crimson-gold flames suddenly flourishing, Saintess Qingxin’s screams came to an abrupt halt, while Lu Zheng sensed streams of Light of Fortune rushing directly into the Jade Seal in his mind.
Saintess Qingxin, dead!
The disciples of the Primordial Saint Sect stood dumbfounded, looking up at the sky.
Who would have thought that the three Saintesses who had just taken over the sect’s power had perished in the blink of an eye?
Trapped within the Innate Cloud Qi by Lu Zheng, Saintess Yue Zhen and the nine sacrificial priests, although constantly seeking to cast and break through, weren’t completely obscured from Lu Zheng’s view.
The Innate Cloud Qi appeared dense but faintly allowed them to see outside, even sensing the external situation.
Hence, they witnessed the full display of Si Lingxi’s power, slaughtering Saintess Ming Ling, Master Yanxia, and Saintess Qingxin.
The nine sacrificial priests, who were just in action, had all ceased their efforts.
Only Saintess Yue Zhen continued casting randomly like a madwoman, but without any structure.
Lu Zheng shook his head, stretched out a finger, and three Silver Feather Cyan Mist Swords flew out from the gourd at his waist, transforming into three silver meteors, instantly piercing into the Innate Cloud Qi.
...
"Buzz!"
Another thread of Light of Fortune flowed into the Jade Seal, and Lu Zheng finally waved his hand, dispersing the cage-like Innate Cloud Qi.
There was no trace of Saintess Yue Zhen within the cloud mass, only nine sacrificial priests suspended mid-air, surrendered without resistance.
"Done, work’s finished!"
Lu Zheng clapped his hands; the three Silver Feather Cyan Mist Swords gradually shrank, flying back into the gourd one by one.
Then, facing the nine sacrificial priests at a loss for words, it was Fan Boyu who stepped forward, "What are you waiting for? Quickly pay respects to Saintess Yue Yao!"
"Greetings to Saintess Yue Yao!"
The nine sacrificial priests descended a little from mid-air, bowing in courtesy.
"Greetings to Saintess Yue Yao!"
Both inside and outside the Primordial Saint Sect’s gates, all the sect disciples knelt, respectfully kowtowing.
Du Yueyao couldn’t help but lick her lips, glancing at Lu Zheng, then at Si Lingxi, and finally at the people behind her, eyes filled with hope.
She then stepped forward and said indifferently, "Everyone, rise."
At this moment, Lu Zheng waved his hand, causing several individuals hidden in the mountains, silently attempting to slip to the back mountain, to shudder and fall over.
"They are people from White Smoke Valley," a priest said urgently, "They all followed Master Yanxia from White Smoke Valley, intending to..."
At this point, he couldn’t continue.
Du Yueyao’s eyes flashed, and she immediately ordered the sacrificial priests, "Go and release Saintess Zhilan and the others first."
"Yes!"
"We shall go at once!"
Two sacrificial priests responded quickly and flew towards a cave in the back mountain.
The remaining seven priests wore conflicted expressions of constipation, but nine couldn’t all leave together.
"Saintess... Yueyao..."
Among the sacrificial priests, Gu Qianli stood relatively at the forefront, looking at Du Yueyao, then Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi, swallowing hard.
"Phoenix Palace Master, White Cloud Temple True Man, and several seniors, please follow me to the sect’s main hall...?"
Du Yueyao looked towards Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi again.
Lu Zheng shrugged, "The Primordial Saint Sect is under your command now."
Liu Qingquan jumped out, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Lady Saint!"
Du Yueyao couldn’t help but laugh, then unconsciously mimicked Liu Qingyan’s manner.
"Bang!"
"Ouch!"
Liu Qingquan rubbed their head, grimacing at Du Yueyao, "Sister Yueyao, did you hit me too?"
Du Yueyao rubbed Liu Qingquan’s head, then said to everyone, "Let’s all go down together then."
Everyone exchanged smiles and, guided by the sacrificial priests, descended the cloud, heading to the main hall of the Primordial Saint Sect.
As they entered the hall, they saw three chairs arranged at the front, where the three Saintesses of the New Sect had previously sat.
Yet scarcely half an hour later, the owners of these seats were gone entirely.
"Saintess, please take your seat!" Gu Qianli hastily gestured courteously.
Du Yueyao waved repeatedly, there was no way she could take that main seat.
Si Lingxi shook her head with a smile, waving her hand, and Du Yueyao involuntarily found herself seated in the central position of the main seat.
Lu Zheng chuckled, "Isn’t it a coincidence, that now the Primordial Saint Sect just has three Saintesses left."
At this moment, a group arrived at the hall’s entrance, two people in front being supported, notably the weakened and injured Saintess Yuanlu and Saintess Zhilan, whose cultivations had been sealed.
"Senior Sister Zhilan!"
Du Yueyao hurriedly flew forward, supporting Saintess Zhilan’s hand, sending True Qi into her body for an examination.
At the same time, she activated and performed "Su Nu’s Prayer Method," breaking the seal on Saintess Zhilan.
Simultaneously, Lu Zheng waved his hand, using Innate Cloud Qi to lift the seal off Saintess Yuanlu.
Liu Qingyan brushed her wrist, making two elixirs appear in her hand, gently pushing them into their mouths.
"Thank you, Miss Liu."
Saintess Yuanlu and Saintess Zhilan swallowed without hesitation, their breath invigorated as they broke free from the two sacrificial priests holding them, bowing to Lu Zheng and his group.
"Thank you, Young Master Lu!"
"Thank you, Phoenix Palace Master!"
"Buzz!"
The Jade Seal trembled, receiving another large influx of Light of Fortune.
