A man and a woman, both clad in fiery red robes, descended from the sky, completely ignoring everyone else as they fixed their gaze on Yun Zhi Yue. "Where does your spiritual power come from?"
"Naturally, it comes from killing," Yun Zhi Yue replied coldly. "As a member of the Ming Di, do I need a reason to kill you?"
Behind Yun Zhi Yue, a massive Black Ghost Flower bloomed, a manifestation of Yin Power from the underworld that even Heaven, Earth, and Humanity could not control.
Hei Shijiu gasped, "Damn, you really are a Ming Di spy!"
The two members of the Phoenix Clan exchanged glances, their eyes filled with concern. They were not afraid of Yun Zhi Yue's strength; rather, they were worried that her killings might be connected to the Heavenly Emperor.
After the fallout between Heaven and the Phoenix Clan, the Heavenly Emperor had secluded himself. The celestial realm was in turmoil, with many claiming that the Phoenix Clan had secretly harmed the Heavenly Emperor in a bid for dominance over the heavens. Their young lady, the Heavenly Queen, felt as if she were being roasted over an open flame, never enjoying a moment of peace.
The Heavenly Emperor had already seized the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Flame. The Heavenly Queen suspected he was trying to save some grass that had not yet perished and had even descended to the mortal realm under the pretense of seclusion. It was likely he had entered the Little World. They had all been ordered to secretly descend and search for that grass.
Finding that weed and utterly crushing her spirit was their only task.
After wandering for years without any leads, they finally sensed the Heavenly Emperor's Mandala Spiritual Power today. This woman had to be captured and brought before the Heavenly Queen.
Without wasting any words, they charged directly at Yun Zhi Yue.
Hei Shijiu cursed under his breath: "You really are a harbinger of doom! These two aren't my match alone, but together we might hold out for a while. With so many Ming Di around us, you need to choose—do you want to escape or fight?"
Yun Zhi Yue had other intentions; she would not truly flee. Breaking through the water barrier, she declared, "How can we leave Jiu Ge behind? Let's fight together!"
Hei Shijiu laughed heartily: "I knew I didn't misjudge you! Together we shall fight!"
Song Huai and Xiao Shijiu remained by Yun Zhi Yue's side to assist her as all three joined forces.
On the other side, Xian Kong seemed reluctant to move but was forced into action. There weren't many Ming Di around; they didn't adhere to Shang Wu's principles. To save their lives, they too had to engage in battle.
The chaos erupted as Yun Zhi Yue continuously searched for her target.
The Reincarnation Stone sensed something was off and questioned: "What are you doing? Why does Shi Ye feel like you're up to no good?"
It’s true that after spending time together, one can understand another well; the Reincarnation Stone's instincts were spot on.
Though she wasn't familiar with the Ten Halls of Yama personnel, careful observation allowed her to distinguish them somewhat.
Ninth Hall Yama Yin Xing controlled the Evil Spirits of the underworld. His subordinates frequently interacted with those entities and inevitably bore traces of Evil Spirit energy due to their exposure to Yin Power.
Focusing on several Heibai Shizhe, Yun Zhi Yue exchanged a knowing glance with Song Huai.
They specifically targeted these individuals with fierce attacks that felt like a desperate gamble; yet each time they struck hard, there remained an element of restraint.
In the eyes of Heibai Shizhe, humans were on a completely different level, and with such disdain already inherent in him, being provoked like this only fueled his desire to eliminate them.
Anyone who could become Heibai Shizhe was no weakling. While Yun Zhi Yue might have been able to hold his own, in a situation of being surrounded, he was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
Cornered and facing imminent danger, this was a chaotic battle; the opponents had no intention of engaging in any one-on-one foolishness.
One person pushed Yun Zhi Yue back, while another seized the opportunity to thrust a Soul Flag toward him.
Reincarnation Stone hurriedly shouted, "Yun Zhi Yue, watch your back!"
The warning came just in time, but for some reason, Yun Zhi Yue's reaction was half a beat slow. Just as he was about to be pierced through, Song Huai lunged forward and took the blow for him, getting impaled instantly.
Reincarnation Stone exclaimed in shock, "Damn it! It's over! That's a Soul Flag; a mortal can't survive that! But the soul hasn't been collected yet!"
Regardless of what Reincarnation Stone was muttering, Yun Zhi Yue caught the collapsing Song Huai and cried out in despair, "Ah Huai!"
This cry drew everyone's attention.
With tears streaming down his face, Yun Zhi Yue held tightly onto the barely breathing Song Huai and coldly declared, "You all go die! How dare you!"
"Calm down! Don't lose it; we can still find a way out of this! It’s not over yet!"
The ground cracked beneath them as thunder roared.
