140: I am your Emperor

Pah!

Chi Lin spat out the blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

At the same time, she suppressed the worsening injuries in her body.

Her ice-blue twin tails now drooped listlessly.

She looked up at the motionless figure ahead and let out a cold snort.

It seemed she still wasn't strong enough; her fists hadn't reached their limit yet.

"Chi Lin, Master has arrived. We just need to wait."

Feng Wu clutched her shoulder and spoke softly.

Facing that extraordinary heavenly dao incarnation, she had also sustained heavy injuries.

If Master hadn't come, she might have tasted death for the first time.

Hearing Feng Wu's words, Chi Lin bit her lip, her pretty face clouding with a hint of awkwardness.

As the Cult Master of the Jin Mie Cult, and the Lord Sovereign's very own Cult Master...

How... how could she let the Lord Sovereign see her in such a pathetic state?

If she did, how could she face him as his Cult Master?

Thinking of this, Chi Lin forced herself to stand up.

She clenched her fists, and endless Fist Intent began to gather once more.

No matter what, as the Cult Master of the Jin Mie Cult, how could she just wait for death with her hands tied?

"Chi Lin, don't push yourself. Master won't think much of it!"

Feng Wu, standing nearby, naturally understood Chi Lin's thoughts.

After all, they had worked together for a long time.

Seeing Chi Lin trying to prove herself regardless of the cost, she couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.

One must know that to Master, he didn't care at all whether Chi Lin was strong or not.

What he cared about was only the safety of those around him.

"A deathbed struggle. In the name of the Heavenly Dao, I sentence you, the heaven-forsaken one, to death!"

The towering figure spoke indifferently.

At the same time, a giant golden hand pressed down directly toward Chi Lin.

It actually intended to suppress Chi Lin on the spot with this single strike!

Seeing this, a fire of rage ignited in Chi Lin's beautiful eyes.

"Suppress me? In your dreams!"

Just as she was about to burn her essence blood for a desperate struggle...

A warm, large hand gently pressed onto her shoulder.

Then, a gentle voice sounded in Chi Lin's ear:

"Alright, don't push yourself, Little Chi Lin. For now, just hide obediently behind me."

Gu Yuan looked at the encroaching giant golden hand and chuckled.

"After all... I am your Lord Sovereign."

As Gu Yuan's voice fell, the immortal slaying sword instantly shot out of its scabbard.

Then, a brilliant Sword Qi slashed directly at the giant golden hand.

In the next moment, the giant golden hand dissipated directly into the air.

Chi Lin stared blankly at Gu Yuan, who stood before her.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with a dazed expression.

Lord Sovereign... only you can make me feel safe... "Lord Sovereign, I'm sorry..."

Chi Lin gently hugged Gu Yuan from behind and murmured.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan turned around and tweaked her little nose, saying with a chuckle:

"Alright, you can always rely on me, Little Chi Lin, you know?"

Mhm... Chi Lin nodded vigorously upon hearing this, then buried her head in Gu Yuan's chest.

"Whoa! Cult Master, are you okay? Wuu wuu, you really scared me to death."

Little Meng said with lingering fear as she saw Chi Lin's injuries.

"I'm fine, just minor injuries. You... hmm...? You are...?"

Hearing Little Meng's words, Chi Lin left Gu Yuan's embrace.

She was about to comfort Little Meng when she suddenly saw several other women on the other side.

She asked with a hint of confusion.

Uh... Hearing Chi Lin's words and looking at the women, Gu Yuan suddenly had a bad premonition.

If he stayed any longer, he might get caught in the middle... "Cough, Feng Wu, Little Noodle, you guys introduce them. I'll go deal with that fellow in front first."

Gu Yuan's thoughts raced, and after dropping those words, he flew toward the front.

He was thankful for the presence of whatever that thing across from them was.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't have a valid reason to leave.

Eh... The women hadn't even reacted before Gu Yuan ran off.

Now, they looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat subtle for a moment.

"Cough, since Master said so, we'll leave it to him. I am Feng Wu, Master's subordinate."

Feng Wu pursed her lips and spoke first.

As Master's most loyal subordinate, she naturally couldn't let Master fall into a dilemma, so she took the initiative to speak.

As a character born from the Destiny System, Feng Wu was naturally very familiar with the women around Gu Yuan.

It was just that some of them hadn't met her yet.

Hearing Feng Wu's words, the women all looked at each other.

"I am Little Dai—cough, bah, I am Yun Qingci. She is Xi Nian, and this is Tian Mei. Hmm, so you are the Cult Master of the Jin Mie Cult, Chi Lin?"

Yun Qingci almost blurted out 'Little Noodle', but fortunately, she reacted in time.

It was all Gu Yuan's fault for calling her 'Little Noodle' every day, making her almost say it herself.

But to be fair, this Jin Mie Cult Master is so moe and cute... Yun Qingci blinked, looking at Chi Lin's ice-blue twin tails and her pretty, cute face, thinking to herself.

Xi Nian and Tian Mei were also secretly sizing up this legendary Cult Master.

As for Chi Lin, she didn't feel unnatural at all when facing the gazes of these three.

Humph, I am the Lord Sovereign's Cult Master. How can they compare?

"This Cult Master understands. Since everyone is on the Lord Sovereign's side, let us see the Lord Sovereign's performance."

Chi Lin said softly.

If this weren't such an inappropriate place to talk, Chi Lin would have definitely had a showdown with these women.

The others felt the same way after hearing this, so they all looked ahead.

Meanwhile, Tian Mei's heart sank when she saw that figure.

It really is a captain-level heavenly dao incarnation.

Since Gu Yuan appeared, that towering figure had fallen into a strange state.

In its golden eyes, there was a series of expressions: surprise, wariness, and even fear.

Therefore, it hadn't interrupted them while they were talking.

"Who are you to dare offend the heavenly might? Could it be that you are also a heaven-forsaken one!?"

The Strange Old Man shouted rebukingly.

Now that his master had personally descended, protected by his master's supreme power, the Strange Old Man's heart was overflowing with confidence.

Thus, he had no fear or wariness toward Gu Yuan's sudden appearance, instead taking the initiative to provoke him.

Heaven-forsaken one...?

Gu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly noted this information in his heart.

Then, he looked at the Strange Old Man with a cold smile.

"How noisy. Your master hasn't even spoken yet; what is an old dog like you barking for?"

Gu Yuan said disdainfully, pointing a finger into the Void Realm.

In the next moment, the immortal slaying sword instantly locked onto the Strange Old Man, ready to kill him at any time.

"Isn't that right, you so-called... captain-level heavenly dao incarnation?"
