Huang Qi sneezed involuntarily as he came from the east.
He furrowed his brow slightly, feeling a vague sense of unease within.
In just three months, I have mastered the Divine Dragon Technique!
In three months, I have gathered all the Demon Immortals from the Immortal Realm, along with the forces of the Mo Li Clan Leader in Dragon Valley. The humiliation I suffered that day will surely be avenged today!
Li Xiaonan! I will personally crush your Cloud Sky Pavilion!
As for your women, I will treat them just as you did to Ling Shan back then, stripping away their cultivation one by one!
In the end, I will break your spine, leaving you unable to stand for the rest of your life like a mere insect!
I want you to be unable to live or die!
With a soft sound, Huang Qi crushed the jade cup in his hand.
A graceful figure wrapped around him, her delicate hand exploring his chest.
Zhao Lingshan smiled seductively and said, "Don't be angry. Soon enough, we will have our revenge! Just thinking about it makes my whole body ache; that brat will definitely taste this pain!"
"Mm! Shan'er, have you gained their trust?"
"They don't trust me, but Lu Ni Chang does! That's enough! The defensive formation has its tricks, but breaking through from the inside out is quite easy! I guarantee you can come in without lifting a finger!"
Huang Qi smiled as he pinched Zhao Lingshan's cheek and said, "Shan'er, you're so charming. What do you think I should do with you?"
"Just treat me well! For a lifetime!"
"Yes, I, Huang Qi, will treat you well for a lifetime! Only you! Otherwise, I will suffer the backlash of the Inner Demon and my soul will scatter!"
Zhao Lingshan looked at Huang Qi's raised right hand, playfully leaning into his embrace, her lips curling into a satisfied smile.
This Zhao Lingshan was merely a transformation of a snake scale, while the real Zhao Lingshan remained in the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
She gazed at the faint Light Barrier shimmering in the air, her lips involuntarily curling upward.
In a flash, she landed on a floating cloud and said, "Lu Ni Chang, don’t blame your mother! I'm doing this for your own good. Once that boy becomes useless, you can be with him for a lifetime, never to part!"
As she spoke, her right hand lifted, and a beam of light shot toward the Light Barrier above.
"Bang!"
The soft glow burst forth like fireworks, scattering everywhere.
"It’s you again!" Zhao Lingyue glared angrily, drawing a curved blade that she swung fiercely at Zhao Lingshan.
Zhao Lingshan snorted coldly, gripping the Spirit Serpent Sword to block the blade. "We are sisters after all; why must you force me like this?"
"Hmph? Sisters? When have you ever treated me like an older sister? How many times have you wronged me? Do you think I don’t know? Today, you’re sabotaging the defenses of Cloud Sky Pavilion—what are your intentions?"
"I don't treat you as an older sister? Then have you ever treated me as a younger sister? No matter how hard I tried growing up, everyone only liked and noticed you! I’ve always been like your shadow, destined to live in your shadow."
"You are wrong. Only where there is light can there be shadows, and you, do not deserve it!" Zhao Lingyue said as she exerted force with her hands, propelling herself backward with a counterattack.
The green curved blade flew from her hand, tracing a crescent arc before flying once more toward Zhao Lingshan.
"This is all the result of your own misdeeds; it's time to pay the price!" Zhao Lingyue formed a seal with her hands, and beneath her long skirt, her legs slowly transformed into a serpent tail, her expression growing increasingly cold.
The curved blade spun relentlessly as it pressed toward Zhao Lingshan, clashing with her Spirit Serpent Sword and producing a series of loud clangs.
Zhao Lingshan furrowed her brows tightly, feeling increasingly powerless. Inner Thoughts: So many years! She has been trapped beneath the Divine Mountain for so long; why is her cultivation still above mine?
Clearly, we came from the same spiritual egg; why does she get all the advantages?
I refuse to accept it! I refuse!
"Mother! Why are you two fighting again?" Yuan Xian'er and Lu Nishang arrived to check on the defensive formation that had collapsed without warning, only to find this chaotic scene.
A glint of cunning flashed in Zhao Lingshan's eyes as she ceased resisting and was struck by the curved blade, sending her reeling backward.
With a sorrowful gaze, she said, "It's this woman! She's the one who destroyed the Vajra Formation!"
"Hmph! The wicked always cry foul first!" Zhao Lingyue coldly regarded the woman who looked exactly like her.
Zhao Lingshan pressed her lips together and grabbed Lu Nishang's arm. "Lu Ni Chang! You must believe your mother; it's her! She did it!"
Lu Nishang frowned slightly and gently pushed Zhao Lingshan's hand away. She flew to stand beside Zhao Lingyue and Yuan Xian'er. "Mother, it's not that I don't want to believe you, but you have repeatedly tried to harm Brother Xiaonan and those around him! I absolutely cannot agree to that!"
"Good! Very good! Lu Ni Chang, you've grown up. Nothing your mother says will matter anymore! But one day, you will understand my intentions!"
Zhao Lingshan spoke, a faint mist rising around her.
Zhao Lingyue coldly said, "Don't even think about running!"
Yuan Xian'er suddenly grabbed her and said, "Mother... after all, she is Lu Ni Chang's mother... let her go..."
Zhao Lingyue frowned slightly and glanced at the downcast Lu Nishang beside her. "Is your father the Emperor of the Underworld?"
Lu Nishang looked up in surprise, gazing at Zhao Lingyue with confusion. "Aunt, do you know my father?"
"Not just know him, how are you doing now?"
"Um."
Zhao Lingyue nodded and said no more. With a wave of her right hand, a mass of Azure Mist rose into the air, forming a barrier.
Meanwhile, outside the Cloud Sky Pavilion, Li Xiaonan had also arrived.
As the pinnacle of beasts, the Dragon Clan was unmatched in terms of physical strength and speed.
Thus, the dragon army led by Li Xiaonan arrived even earlier than Huang Qi's Demon Immortal army.
Standing atop the signboard of Cloud Sky Pavilion, Spirit Weapon exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here? Why has the Dragon Clan mobilized?"
"Father-in-law, I'll explain later. Huang Qi is here!" Li Xiaonan waved his hands to signal the dragons to take their positions, lining up in front of Cloud Sky Pavilion for protection.
Spirit Weapon growled fiercely, "Hmph! I'm not afraid that old fool won't come! Today I will make sure he has no way back! I'll crush him!"
"Father-in-law, rest assured, I will spare Huang Qi's life for you!" Li Xiaonan's expression turned cold as his consciousness spread out once more.
He could clearly see Huang Qi approaching from the east, followed by various Demon Immortals—wolves, tigers, and all sorts of creatures.
He thought to himself: No matter how you look at it, they are just a ragtag bunch! I wonder where Huang Qi found these oddballs! Although I only have a hundred Dragon Immortals behind me, in terms of strength, I can definitely take on five. Moreover, with the newly developed Power Pill, taking on eight is not a problem at all.
The biggest issue at hand was the group coming from the south. Wherever they went, thick fog billowed around them; upon closer inspection, it was actually dense Celestial Aura!
At this moment, Li Xiaonan still couldn't make out the appearance of that group, let alone their leader. The only thing he could tell was that there were quite a few of them; judging by the numerous red dots, there were at least several thousand.
Clearly, Huang Qi's vanguard was nothing more than cannon fodder; the real elite troops were behind!
No! I can't let the two armies meet! I must strike first!
Li Xiaonan stood atop Black High, his expression icy as he declared loudly, "Brothers, this is my home! Here are my family, brothers, and friends! Now that someone dares to invade, what do you think I should do?"
"Kill!" The thunderous roar sent a shiver through everyone in Cloud Sky Pavilion.
Even Ling Kui, who hovered at the highest point, was taken aback!
In an instant, her surprise transformed into boundless tenderness.
"That's right! Anyone who dares to touch my people will only find death!" Li Xiaonan's gaze was frigid.
He glanced back at the dragons and continued, "Brothers, this is my personal matter, and our opponents are no ordinary foes. If anyone wishes to leave now, I, Li Xiaonan, will not utter a single complaint! But if you choose to stay, I won't say thank you either. However, from now on, if you need me for anything, I will gladly risk my life for you!"
"I swear to protect my brother! I swear to defend Cloud Sky Pavilion!" Someone shouted out suddenly, and those words spread like a command throughout the crowd.
The voice reached Huang Qi's ears before he even saw the person, and Zhao Lingshan's true form had returned to his side.
He couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Zhao Lingshan shook her head and replied, "It seems something has happened to Mo Li. Otherwise, that kid wouldn't have brought back so many dragons!"
"Hmph! The Dragon Clan is already at the end of its strength. Can my thousands of Demon Immortals not defeat him? Let's go!" Huang Qi was not acting out of anger; he knew that only by stepping over Li Xiaonan's corpse could he truly unify the Immortal Realm!
Now, he was in a situation where retreat was not an option—he could only fight!
Li Xiaonan silently watched as Huang Qi and the others approached, quietly calculating the distance: one kilometer, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters.
He slightly curled his lips into a cold smile and said, "Oh! Isn't this Lord Yellow Emperor? Long time no see! You still look as spirited as ever. But I wonder, what brings you here with so many people?"
"Hmph! Kid, stop wasting time..." Before Huang Qi could finish his sentence, Li Xiaonan narrowed his eyes and already held the Carefree Fan, shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow.
Behind Li Xiaonan, Mo Youmozi exchanged glances but had yet to rally the dragons to action.
The black dragons led by Heiming had already charged out.
When it came to loyalty and action, perhaps no one could match the Black Dragon Clan.
They had long been oppressed, and now that they were saved by Li Xiaonan, he was their benefactor for rebirth.
Even though the two leading black dragons from the other villages had never met Li Xiaonan in person, his deeds had long been spread far and wide; every dragon knew of him.
In their eyes, this was the perfect opportunity to repay their debt of gratitude, and they naturally surged forward.
The army of Demon Immortals behind Huang Qi stirred restlessly.
Even though they had become immortals, how could they withstand the overwhelming might of the dragon?
But what if they didn’t fight?
The Demon Immortals all turned to look at Huang Qi and his lovely wife, feeling a chill run down their spines.
With a collective wail, they charged forward.
In their hearts, they held only one thought: they would rather be torn to shreds by the dragon clan than be tormented by the couple!
Li Xiaonan observed the surroundings with his divine sense, furrowing his brow as he lamented inwardly: how many lives would be lost in this brawl?
Initially planning to capture the leader first, he found himself at a disadvantage due to Huang Qi's improved cultivation. With his status as an Immortal Emperor, Huang Qi had already grasped the power of a Demigod.
Moreover, Li Xiaonan's True Essence had yet to recover, and he worried for his people. What was supposed to be a sure victory now felt precarious as he sensed the tide turning against him.
