331: Chapter 331 Ancestor, save me!

Ling Qinghan tried to struggle to her feet, but her body couldn't help but shudder, and she coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

The wuji sword was wreathed in several terrifying Law powers; it not only pinned Ling Qinghan's Physical Body to the ground but also pierced through her Primordial Spirit, locking it in place as well, making it impossible for her to break free!

"Cough..."

"Tribulation Transcendence Stage!!"

"You... who exactly are you!?"

Ling Qinghan's eyes were filled with horror as she stared fixedly at Ji Taichang, her beautiful Face twisting in agony!

She didn't understand.

Why was Yun Qiyao, who should have been completely destroyed in body and soul, able to return alive, and why could Yun Qiyao bring back a helper at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage!?

Why did this Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert have to disguise themselves as Ji Taichang??

"A person on the verge of death has no need to know so much."

Ji Taichang's expression was cold as he waved his hand again. Six precious swords shot out like lightning, piercing into Ling Qinghan's Meridians and acupoints, completely sealing off her cultivation!

Ji Taichang looked at Yun Qiyao: "I will leave her to you; go take your revenge."

"No... no!!"

Seeing the deep-seated hatred and Killing Intent on Yun Qiyao's Face as she walked over holding a sword, Ling Qinghan was terrified to the core, and a boundless fear surged over her like a tide.

She hurriedly shouted toward the depths of the Shuiyue Holy Land: "Old Ancestors, save me! Save me!!!"

"I am already at the half-step Tribulation Transcendence Stage; give me a few more decades, and I will be able to make a Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage. I am the future hope of the Shuiyue Holy Land!"

"I cannot die!!"

"Save me—"

As Ling Qinghan's desperate cry rang out.

The ground shook violently. Deep within the Spiritual Vein beneath the Shuiyue Holy Land, an ancient and mysterious bronze coffin slowly opened, and a weathered, complex sigh echoed from within.

Under the gaze of Ji Taichang's party and everyone in the Shuiyue Holy Land, an incredibly old and emaciated figure stepped out of the bronze coffin. Their body was hunched, their hair was falling out, and they radiated a senile Death Qi; clearly, their Lifespan was nearing its end.

"Qishi Sword Saint Old Ancestor!?"

"You... you are actually still alive, Elder!"

When the people of the Shuiyue Holy Land saw the emaciated old man appear, their hearts were shaken. They were both shocked and overjoyed, their Faces filled with disbelief!

The Qishi Sword Saint was a renowned and powerful figure in the history of the Shuiyue Holy Land. His attainments in the sword path were peerless in the Eastern Desolate Region, and he had carved out a great reputation. However, his Lifespan had dried up one hundred thousand years ago, and he had passed away.

His spirit tablet was still placed in the Holy Hall and ancestral shrine of the Shuiyue Holy Land!

Every hundred years, the people of the Shuiyue Holy Land would go to pay respects to the ancestors of the Holy Land and listen to the many glorious deeds of the Qishi Sword Saint.

Now that they saw the ancestor from the spirit tablet come back to life, everyone was incredibly shocked.

The Qishi Sword Saint's aged, cloudy gaze swept over Ling Qinghan and then toward Yun Qiyao, emitting an aged sigh: "Sigh... Yun Qiyao, could you spare Ling Qinghan's life? She is, after all, at the half-step Tribulation Transcendence Stage, and at less than two thousand years old, she is a top-tier Prodigy across the entire Qingling Realm. It would be a great pity to kill her."

"I know there is a deep blood feud between you and her, but she can compensate in other ways. She can offer her True Spirit Mark to acknowledge you as her master, or she can be imprisoned in the Shuiyue Holy Land's dungeon, never to leave, and in the future, when you encounter a strong enemy, she can be made to fight and atone for her crimes..."

The Shuiyue Holy Land had not seen a Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert in nearly a million years, and Ling Qinghan already had half a foot in that Domain; this made the Qishi Sword Saint particularly regretful, and he did not want to see such an expert fall here.

If the Shuiyue Holy Land could produce a Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert, it would leap to become the strongest Holy Land in the Eastern Desolate Region!!

At that time, the strength of the entire Holy Land would be greatly improved!

"Impossible!!"

Yun Qiyao refused without a second thought!

Her icy eyes were filled with monstrous hatred: "Back then, I treated Ling Qinghan as family. Not only did I guide her in her Cultivation without reservation and share Cultivation resources with her, but I also trusted her immensely!"

"Yet, she took advantage of the time I was in seclusion to Cultivate, tricked me out of the control of many of the Shuiyue Holy Land's foundational means, poisoned my wine, sabotaged the Formation of my Cultivation room... and even turned around to use the Holy Land's foundations to sneak attack me!"

"This bitch killed me, and I was only left with a faint remnant soul that fell into the chaotic Void Realm, which is how I luckily escaped with my life!"

"Such a deep blood feud must be repaid with her life!!"

Yun Qiyao raised her sword and strode toward Ling Qinghan!

These words caused an uproar within the Shuiyue Holy Land!

"Hiss!! Back then, when Holy Lord Yun suddenly disappeared, such a tragedy had actually happened behind the scenes!"

"Holy Lord Ling... no, Ling Qinghan actually did such a shocking and ugly thing; she truly deserves to die!"

"For the sake of a Holy Lord position, she actually went so far as to harm her own Senior Sister; is it worth it?"

"I didn't expect her to be this kind of person..."

Everyone looked at Ling Qinghan in unison, causing an uproar and heated discussion!

Nan Yin, Lu Qingmeng, and the others were also shocked; only now did they know the truth of what happened back then!

Seeing Yun Qiyao walking over with her sword, filled with Killing Intent, Ling Qinghan's eyes were full of fear and regret, and she said tremblingly: "Senior Sister, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"

"Please don't kill me! Give me a chance to turn over a new leaf!"

"As long as you spare me, I am willing to do anything. I, I can offer my True Spirit Mark to you, I will be your beast of burden..."

"Don't come over here!!!"

"Grandmaster! Qishi Sword Saint Grandmaster, please save me—"

Facing a strong sense of impending death and panic, Ling Qinghan completely collapsed, letting out a hysterical scream!

The Qishi Sword Saint opened his mouth, cast a wary glance at Ji Taichang, and finally just let out a faint sigh, not daring to intervene.

Even if he risked his old bones, he could not be a match for a Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert.

Furthermore, forcibly sticking his neck out for Ling Qinghan, who had already committed a grave mistake, and offending Yun Qiyao and Ji Taichang would be a total loss; the Shuiyue Holy Land could not afford such trouble.

The Qishi Sword Saint had only come out to trade on his seniority; if Yun Qiyao and Ji Taichang did not give him Face, there was nothing he could do.

Pfft!!

Yun Qiyao slashed down with her sword, directly piercing Ling Qinghan's Dantian, crippling her Physical Body, and then immediately locked onto Ling Qinghan's Primordial Spirit!

Boom—

Just when everyone's attention was focused on them.

The middle-aged man and the Evil Emperor Xuanjin had already quietly retreated to the edge of the Barrier. The middle-aged man suddenly swung the heaven-slaying war spear, and a blazing golden light erupted, violently stabbing into the Barrier formed by the Peacock Clan's supreme treasure, emitting an earth-shattering roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

This incomparably sturdy Barrier, which was enough to block an ordinary Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert, was actually pierced through by the heaven-slaying war spear, creating a gap!

This was the power of the strongest weapon of slaughter in the Qingling Realm!!

Whoosh!!

The moment the Barrier was breached, the Evil Emperor Xuanjin and the middle-aged man instantly turned into two streaks of rainbow light, directly tearing through the Void Realm and attempting to escape.
