This was the most tense moment. Lingxi knew that this was a terrifying test for her. She gritted her teeth and looked at them fearlessly. One of the elders said, "I didn't expect that you would wait for us here. Where is the Wolf Tribe? They killed so many of our Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's clansmen and devoured our ancestor's Celestial Fox Demonic Fire. It's time to pay them back."
Lingxi didn't reply. All she could do was secretly strengthen the barrier and do her best to protect Long Chen and Soyeon. She couldn't run away, nor could she move. Long Chen seemed to be going through the Samsara Tribulations and couldn't be affected at all. Otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain.
Another elder from Nine-tailed Celestial Fox said, "Judging from the movement of the flame pillar, the Wolf Tribe must have rushed into the flame pillar and tried to snatch the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus. How audacious. The Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus will take his life. Looks like we don't have to do anything."
They were extremely relaxed. The group of elders laughed.
"That's true. The Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus is so terrifying that even I don't dare to touch it. That little guy is so audacious. Even if he doesn't die and comes out, we can easily finish him off. Brothers, let's surround the flame pillar. This time, we can't let that little guy escape. Otherwise, we'll really lose face if we Nine-tailed Celestial Fox."
"I heard that fiends have several lives. That's great. We can kill him a few times. That'll be our revenge."
They hated Mo Xiaolang to the core.
Lingxi looked at them and almost suffocated. They were all experts in the Four Symbols Samsara Tribulations Realm. There was even an elder who should be in the Five Elements Samsara Tribulations Realm. He was their leader and they called him Second Brother.
At this point, they first ignored Soyeon and prepared to surround the flame pillar.
Lingxi heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like the other party did not take them seriously.
Suddenly, an old man looked at Soyeon and said, "It's you, little girl. You caused such a huge commotion. A mere half-demon dares to walk in the territory of our demon race? You're courting death. I'll deal with you first. If the wolf race is lucky enough to come out and see your corpse, he'll have a taste of despair."
The others stopped and watched the old man make his move.
Hearing this, Lingxi's heart tightened. Soyeon was even more afraid, but when she thought about how Mo Xiaolang would cry for her, and how he would go crazy, she knew that she couldn't compromise. She told herself not to be afraid, or else she would be looked down upon.
Lingxi stood in front of Soyeon and coldly said, "All of you are seniors who have cultivated for tens of thousands of years. How can you attack a weak little girl? The one who devoured your Celestial Fox Demonic Fire is someone else. She doesn't have much strength and hasn't brought any disasters to your clan. How can you attack a little girl?"
She had no chance of winning in a battle. Thus, she could only use words to stall for time.
Hearing this, the old man said, "I don't care about my reputation. I just don't like this young lady. Don't think that I don't know that the reason why the Wolf Clan has fallen into depravity is closely related to this young lady. She is the source of all evil.
He didn't want to waste words with Lingxi. Just when he was about to make his move, Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Ruo Xi suddenly stood in front of him and said, "Elder, please listen to me. Although it's related to her, she didn't do it willingly. She's a pitiful child. As a half-demon, she's being mocked by others. Can you spare her life for my sake?"
She was furious. Mo Xiaolang had brought her a calamity, but she didn't think that it had anything to do with Soyeon.
However, Ruo Xi's status was limited. The old man didn't put her in his eyes at all. He harshly said, "Ruo Xi, if you didn't bring the wolf race to Demon Immortal Domain, Nine-tailed Celestial Fox wouldn't be in trouble. If you know what's good for you, you'd better scram now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
He didn't give her any chance to talk.
Ruo Xi could only retreat helplessly. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the skinny Soyeon. This little girl had become much more haggard after fleeing for her life. Now, she was facing the threat of death.
On the other hand, Long Chen was worthy of her admiration. She still stood at the front even when facing a Four Symbols Samsara Realm expert. She was a little nervous, but she didn't take a step back. In her eyes, Ruo Xi saw the same conviction as Long Chen back then.
"Die."
Behind the old man, nine thick fox tails rushed out violently. Each tail contained a terrifying power. Under such a sweep, not only would Su Yan suffer a calamity, but Long Chen, who was in the midst of his tribulation, would also be greatly shaken. This scene was incomparably worrying.
However, the slaughter was merciless.
That fox tail was unstoppable, and it charged forward.
Soyeon's face was filled with despair and fear. She was still young and couldn't bear such a huge ordeal.
What she didn't see was that before her, Lingxi had closed her eyes and activated her Immortal Lord Realm technique.
"Eternal Regrets, Guardian Barrier."
Around her, a transparent barrier of light glowed, forming a sphere that surrounded them. The Guardian Barrier shimmered with runes. Its structure was stable. If Lingxi had enough strength, an ordinary person wouldn't be able to break it.
Rumble.
There was an explosion, and the air vibrated. To everyone's surprise, the attack from the Four Symbols Samsara Realm expert actually bounced off the Guardian Barrier. Of course, the Guardian Barrier also exploded, its power dissipating. Fortunately, Long Chen and Soyeon weren't hurt at all.
As for Lingxi, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth due to the shock of the power.
"Big Sister Lingxi, you're hurt...."
Soyeon was devastated. She shielded Lingxi. She thought she was going to die, but Lingxi had saved her.
"Eh?"
The elders were curious. They naturally knew that Lingxi was only at the 1-Yuan Reincarnation Realm.
"A puny 1-Yuan Reincarnation Realm cultivator can actually block one of my attacks. That's amazing."
The old man laughed curiously and said, "However, your technique has already been broken and your body is injured. Can you block my attack a second time? Those who deserve to die will die eventually. There is no chance for you to live."
He said no more, and the second attack came.
At this point, the Guardian Barrier was no longer helping.
At this point, the elders thought that the two girls were dead for sure. Although Ruo Xi wanted to help, she knew that she would be punished, and so she had to hold back....
At this critical moment, Ling Xi clenched her teeth and stood up straight. She gently pushed Su Yan away and formed a seal with her hands. In an instant, the starlight in the sky flickered, and the power of the boundless stars suddenly gathered and descended upon her body.
"Revolving Star Shift Design."
This was a variation of the Revolving Star Shift Design among the Immortal Lord Realm techniques. It was the newest Immortal Lord Realm technique that Lingxi had learned. She used it with all her strength. Starlight flashed, and she flew at breakneck speed. A Stellar Design gathered under their feet, and the starlight shone brightly, drowning their vision. When Soyeon opened her eyes, she realized that the people in front of her had disappeared.
This move was similar to Nian's technique, but it was too profound. Lingxi almost fell to the ground after using it.
Soyeon looked around at the lava. She hurriedly asked: "Big Sister Lingxi, where did they go? Did you take them away? That's great."
Ling Xi struggled to stand, her face filled with bitterness as she said, "My abilities are limited, I can only move them to a place very close to me. With their abilities, they should be able to return in less than seven minutes. I know that this method is completely useless, but this is the only method I have left, and … I can't use it again …"
These words were spoken in despair.
Lingxi could clearly feel the elder's determination to kill Soyeon. He even wanted to kill Long Chen and Lingxi to prevent future trouble. They knew the relationship between Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang.
Hearing this, Soyeon paled, and took two steps back.
If Long Chen had not met the Tai Su God, then Lingxi could have used the Revolving Star Shift Design to move them away temporarily. But now they could only sit and wait.
"What should we do? What should we do?"
Soyeon was panicking.
Lingxi wiped the blood from her lips, and her eyes dimmed: "We can only hope that Long Chen succeeds, or Xiao Lang... succeeds, and is awake..."
This extravagant hope was simply too difficult, because Long Chen was still in an extremely dangerous state. Ling Xi discovered that his skin had actually dried up, and his flesh had decreased a bit, becoming thinner and thinner. If this continued, it was very likely that he would become a dried corpse.
The Tai Su God was actually so terrifying.
Countless heavy blows had caused the two girls to be at a complete loss.
Soyeon experienced the feeling of despair.
"I can't give up, I can't give up."
She clenched her fists, and although tears were flowing, her eyes suddenly became firm. She said: "I want to find Big Brother Xiao Lang. He listens to me, and I want to wake him up."
As soon as she finished speaking, she broke away from Lingxi and rushed towards the flame pillar. This scared Lingxi. She quickly chased after her, but Long Chen was still here. How could she be at ease?
"Big Sister Lingxi."
Soyeon turned her head and shouted: "I also want to fight, I also want to have the power to save everyone. I will prove that I am not weak, and I also want to become strong. Don't worry, I will definitely cherish my life, because it doesn't belong to me, it belongs to you, and also to my father and big sister. They are all waiting for me to return. I can't die, I want to live."
Her young body actually let out such a cry, and it made Lingxi feel her transformation. From her eyes, Lingxi saw a belief that was even more terrifying than her own. Maybe she was not lucky, so Soyeon suffered more than Lingxi. Therefore, although Soyeon was still weak, she was stronger.
"Wait for me to return."
She gritted her teeth and said such a sentence. Then, without looking back, she resolutely rushed in the direction of the flame pillar. Lingxi looked at the small figure gradually disappearing in front of her. This moved her. Soyeon's performance had also injected a strong force into her heart.
I can't give up.
As long as I don't die, no one can give up, not even a girl.
She took a deep breath and stood firmly beside Long Chen. There was movement in the distance. That group of people was coming again.
"This time, let me protect you."
She had to divert their attention, so that they would not look for Soyeon, but she had to protect Long Chen at the same time.
… …
