Ying Huanhuan looked at the Fire Crystal Ape King, who seemed completely unafraid of power, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a smile.
Although she didn't know what that guy had done, just the name alone was enough to scare the Fire Crystal Ape King into such a state. This was something even her father couldn't do.
In the sky, Su Lei was so angry at the Fire Crystal Ape King's refusal to listen to reason that he was about to explode. This damned spineless ape had knelt down without hesitation as soon as he heard the Sword Saint's name. Now, he was hinting at him with the name of Yuan Gate, but this guy had suddenly become so tough. It was truly outrageous.
But Su Lei didn't dare to act rashly now. They had been hiding in the dark, planning to let the Fire Crystal Ape King deal with the Dao Sect disciples first. If the Fire Crystal Ape King was too useless and couldn't handle them, they could secretly launch a surprise attack and directly capture these Dao Sect disciples, especially that Ying Huanhuan.
As a result, this damned spineless ape must have taken the wrong medicine today. It was simply outrageous. He betrayed them on the spot, leaving Su Lei completely dumbfounded. Now, he couldn't retreat, nor could he advance.
If he didn't retreat, those elite disciples of Dao Sect, except for that kid named Lin Dong, were all direct disciples of the three halls, which were very troublesome. And with that spineless ape and a large group of little spineless apes helping, how could they fight with just their manpower?
If he retreated, wouldn't he be torn apart alive by the boss when he returned? Even if the boss didn't tear him apart, those adults from Yuan Gate would definitely devour him alive!
The scene was deadlocked for a while, but the Dao Sect people were happy to see it continue, because as soon as they discovered the Immortal Yuan Ancestral Tree, Ying Huanhuan crushed the talisman, and Dao Sect's reinforcements would soon arrive.
As for the Fire Crystal Ape King, whether he wanted to show his loyalty to Ying Huanhuan and make up for his disrespect earlier, or was stimulated by Su Lei's words 'spineless ape', he roared angrily when he saw Su Lei standing there without any intention of leaving.
"Roar! You bastard born from a female monkey, hurry up and get out of this king's grandmother's territory! Could it be that you want to taste the feeling of being skinned alive by this king?"
The Fire Crystal Ape King roared, his eyes flashing with scarlet killing intent, vaguely carrying a hint of madness, which startled Su Lei. He didn't expect that this damned spineless ape was so afraid of that person that he was afraid to the bone.
However, who wasn't afraid of that person? Even Su Lei himself would feel a chill in his heart every time he thought of him. That was a ruthless person who could continue to draw his sword and chop people even with only bones left after his flesh disappeared. Even top Reincarnation Realm experts who had passed the Reincarnation Tribulation were scared away by that madman.
"Hmph, Fire Crystal Ape King, today's matter, my Demon Seal Crowd..."
Just as Su Lei was about to soften his tone and leave a harsh word before retreating, he suddenly sensed something, and his aura rose again. He stared at the Fire Crystal Ape King and Ying Huanhuan with a sneer, and said with a gloomy and smug expression.
"Hehe, damned spineless ape, today, I'll let you know the price of betraying us!"
The Fire Crystal Ape King, who was originally preparing to ask Ying Huanhuan for credit, suddenly had a more intense fierce aura, and Ying Huanhuan, Lin Dong and others' expressions also changed instantly.
"'Whoosh! Whoosh!'"
In the next moment, several sounds of air being torn apart rang out, and then, several figures with extraordinary auras rapidly swept towards this place from all directions, and finally, they all hovered in the sky around them.
Staring at the figures around them, Lin Dong, Yuan Fang and others' faces gradually became gloomy, and the solemn look in their eyes was about to turn into substance.
Among those figures, there were two Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm experts whose auras were not weaker than Su Lei. One of them was wearing very strange green clothes, looking about thirty years old. His rather handsome face revealed a bit of evil, and he was standing with his hands behind his back in the sky.
The other person was wearing a pale white robe, and his face was also particularly pale, looking like he was terminally ill.
"Erosion Demon Hand Xiao Tian, fifth on the Sect Wanted List, Butcher Luo Yi, sixth on the Sect Wanted List! The others are also desperadoes with considerable reputations in Blood Rock Land!"
Looking at the two figures, one in forgiveness green and the other in exhaustion white, Yuan Fang's face was extremely solemn, and at the same time, he whispered to Lin Dong and the others, who seemed to not know much about them.
After hearing Yuan Fang's words, Lin Dong's heart was also constantly sinking. Counting Su Lei and the four Seven Yuan Nirvana Realm experts he brought, there were already seven experts on the Sect Wanted List. With such a lineup, these people, I'm afraid...
Thinking of this, Lin Dong couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ying Huanhuan, unless Ying Huanhuan forcibly used the power belonging to the Ice Master, otherwise, let alone guarding this Immortal Yuan Ancestral Tree, whether they could live was a big problem.
However, at this moment, Yan suddenly spoke to Lin Dong.
"Lin Dong boy, if it really comes to the time when it's needed, I'll lend you a hand. Let's fight once and hold on until the Dao Sect's experts arrive. Remember, never let the Ice Master forcibly use the energy in her body!"
"What?"
Yan's words made Lin Dong stunned for a moment, and Yan, hearing Lin Dong's subconscious response, couldn't help but feel a bit apologetic, and said softly.
"Lin Dong, I know this is a bit unfair to you, but I hope you can fight for this world once. The Ice Master was awakened by the touch of the Supreme Force, which means that Ling Qingzhu's Supreme Force has a great impact on the Ice Master who is still in Reincarnation. If the Ice Master can successfully awaken her own power, maybe she can directly master the Supreme Force after successfully Reincarnating. In that case, our chances of winning will be even greater."
"But if she forcibly activates the energy within her body midway, I'm afraid it will ruin her excellent opportunity. So, I hope you can risk it for this world. Don't worry, I will help you. Although I'm not good at fighting, even if that guy hiding in the dark makes a move, I can help you hold him off for a while."
Yan's apology carried a hint of pleading. This was the first time Lin Dong had heard Yan speak in such a tone, which made Lin Dong fall silent.
In his mind, the scene of the Great Desolate Sect being destroyed, and Lin Xuan's determination to suppress the demons within the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet at the cost of burning his life, flashed through Lin Dong's mind one by one.
Then, Lin Dong smiled slightly and responded softly in his heart, his voice light but filled with determination.
"Yan, don't underestimate me. I am the second owner of the Ancestral Stone, the controller of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, and the successor of Lord Symbol Ancestor, personally chosen by you!"
Last time, he abandoned his responsibility as the controller of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol and ran away. This time, he would not abandon his responsibility again!
Lin Dong's answer brought a few smiles to Yan's face. At this moment, it seemed to overlap faintly with its earliest memories.
Yan still remembered that the old man back then didn't have good talent either, but he had a foolish stubbornness. Really, they were all equally foolish, always liking to do foolish things for the sake of so-called righteousness.
"Senior Sister, if there's a chance later, you go first. As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood!"
Lin Dong said softly to Ying Huanhuan, his tone revealing a hint of heaviness, causing Ying Huanhuan to look over slightly. Then, she smiled sweetly, her eyes sweeping over the people around her, and replied softly.
"You just try to stall for time. As for these people, they wouldn't dare to touch me!"
Lin Dong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Immediately afterward, he saw Ying Huanhuan take two steps forward, her eyes sweeping over the group of uninvited guests, and said with a smile.
"You came to my Dao Sect's territory because you knew this young lady was here, so you came specifically to welcome me?"
Looking at Ying Huanhuan's smiling face, Xiao Tian, dressed in a full set of forgiving green, narrowed his eyes slightly. After sizing up Ying Huanhuan, he said softly.
"You must be Ying Huanhuan? I owed Ying Xiaoxiao a few favors back then. I won't participate in today's matter. For Ying Xiaoxiao's sake, I can reveal something to you. If your Dao Sect's reinforcements aren't fast enough, I'm afraid..."
"Oh? I thought you chose to withdraw because you owed my Senior Brother a favor!"
Ying Huanhuan was also quite surprised to hear this. However, with Xiao Tian speaking, Ying Huanhuan simply followed his words and continued, causing the others to be slightly stunned.
"Your Senior Brother?"
"That's right, my Senior Brother specifically told me that mentioning his name would work in the Blood Rock Land. Isn't that right, Little Ape?"
Hearing Ying Huanhuan's voice, the Fire Crystal Ape King, whose aura had quietly shrunk back, seemed greatly encouraged. Its ferocious aura swept over again, and it roared.
"Yes, if anyone dares to bully the young lady, even without Sword Saint's help, I, Little Ape, will help the young lady peel off their skin!"
"Not bad, you're quite sensible. When Senior Brother marries me, this young lady will have someone send you a wedding invitation!"
Standing next to the Fire Crystal Ape King, Ying Huanhuan nodded slightly, patted the Fire Crystal Ape King's calf, which was much thicker than her entire body, and said with a smile.
As Ying Huanhuan's voice fell, Xiao Tian, Luo Yi, and the others all revealed a look of astonishment at the same time, sizing up Ying Huanhuan with suspicion. They saw Ying Huanhuan flip her hand and take out a badge, her face filled with a happy expression, and said with a smile.
"See, this is the Lin Clan's badge. This young lady will be the Lin Clan's Young Matron before long!"
Their gazes fell on the badge, and Luo Yi and the others, including Su Lei and the other experts from the Demon Seal Crowd, couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes filled with a hint of inquiry. Then, they all put away the dazed look in their eyes.
Seeing that Luo Yi and the others seemed somewhat hesitant, and even wanted to retreat, Su Lei quickly stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, don't think you can fool me by just taking out a badge. That's not the Lin Clan's badge at all!"
"Our Lin Clan is just a small family in a small dynasty. It's normal that you don't recognize it. If you don't believe it, you can try to attack."
Faced with Su Lei's questioning, Ying Huanhuan nonchalantly put away the badge in her hand, showing no intention of arguing with Su Lei. Her eyes even carried a hint of indifference as she spoke.
"However, when that time comes, if my Senior Brother is enraged, don't even mention whether you Demon Seal Crowd are backed by Yuan Gate or not. Even if you were Yuan Gate disciples, you'd have to see if they can protect you. Don't forget, back then, your Yuan Gate's three Sect Leaders were all defeated by my Senior Brother. If it weren't for a Reincarnation Realm expert intervening, I'm afraid your Yuan Gate would have been flattened by my Senior Brother!"
Ying Huanhuan's calm tone, laced with a hint of casual arrogance, made Su Lei and the others' hearts tighten, and beads of cold sweat began to appear on their foreheads.
It wasn't just Ying Huanhuan's calm tone, but also the Dao Sect disciples' gazes, filled with shock and a hint of melancholy, that made Su Lei and the others believe Ying Huanhuan's words.
After all, recently, the Sword Saint had been the headline news throughout the Eastern Xuan Region.
First, the Sword Saint defeated the three Yuan Gate Sect Leaders and the Space Ancestor Symbol wielder Zhou Tong in the Ancient Battlefield, and forced back a Reincarnation Realm expert, astonishing everyone.
Then, news spread that the Dao Sect Sect Leader's daughter, Ying Huanhuan, and the Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace's Young Palace Master, Ling Qingzhu, had fought fiercely for the Sword Saint during a competition between the Dao Sect and Nine Heavens Great Purity Palace disciples, resulting in a real battle.
Finally, the Sword Saint intervened at a crucial moment to help his junior sister Ying Huanhuan, and once again forcefully defeated Ling Qingzhu, avenging his junior sister's defeat on the spot, a shocking and eye-popping piece of news.
Adding to this scene, no matter how one looked at it, it seemed that the Sword Saint and the girl in front of them were about to have something good happen.
Thinking about the Sword Saint's almost crazy personality, some of the experts who had been lured by the Demon Seal Crowd couldn't help but swallow their saliva. If they accidentally injured Ying Huanhuan in the slightest, they feared that there would be nowhere for them to hide in the entire Tianxuan Continent, the four regions and one sea.
Thinking of this, Luo Yi couldn't help but glance at the Fire Crystal Ape King, who had surrendered early on, and a rather polite smile slowly appeared on his face as he cupped his fist and said to Ying Huanhuan.
"Hehe, I heard that Lin Matron has come to this place, so I came to pay a visit. However, it seems that Lin Matron has some matters to attend to, so Luo will not disturb you. Farewell!"
The title of 'Lin Matron' made the smile on the girl's face even more intense, and she even nodded in response to Luo Yi.
"By the way, after Lin Matron returns, please send Luo's regards to the Sword Saint. Luo has long admired the Sword Saint's name!"
Flattered, Luo Yi remembered something else and quickly cupped his fist towards Ying Huanhuan again. After saying that, he ignored Su Lei's somewhat unsightly expression and flew away without hesitation.
Xiao Tian, seeing this, also smiled and cupped his fist politely towards Ying Huanhuan.
"Lin Matron, please also send Xiao's regards to the Sword Saint. Farewell!"
In the blink of an eye, those uninvited guests who had originally rushed from all directions turned around and left, without any hesitation, making Su Lei's face turn green with anger.
It wasn't just Su Lei whose face turned green, but also Yao Ling, who had been hiding in the dark and hadn't shown himself yet. Originally, Yao Ling had been thinking of using others' hands to eliminate this group of Dao Sect disciples, but now he had no choice but to show himself. If he didn't show himself, Su Lei would also retreat, and when that time came, if the Dao Sect disciples found a place to hide, it would be much more troublesome to find them again.
"Hehe, to think that the Sword Saint's fiancée has also personally come to this place. It seems that today is destined for Yao Ling to make a great contribution!"
A faint laughter suddenly rang out at this moment, and an aura of the Nine Yuan Nirvana Realm instantly swept over, causing the faces of Lin Dong and the others, who had just relaxed, to tense up again.
