#387 - A must-kill situation

"Therefore, I must personally protect him during this time to ensure your and the fetus's safety.

You, Zhongli Meiying, must put aside personal grievances and prioritize the overall situation," Xue Qiankun said with unquestionable authority.

Zhongli Meiying took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger and unwillingness in her heart, and slowly said, "Sect Leader, rest assured, although I, Zhongli Meiying, am not a saint, I know what is important.

I will do my best to protect this fetus and allow the Supreme Elder to be reborn."

However, at this critical moment, a sudden and strange power suddenly broke through the air, ignoring all defenses and directly rushing into Zhongli Meiying's body.

Zhongli Meiying immediately let out a shrill scream, her body uncontrollably falling backward, blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

Immediately afterward, a thick black aura rushed out of Zhongli Meiying's stomach; it was the form of Lou Xueyun's soul after being completely destroyed by Li Chengfeng's Curse Killing Technique.

It rampaged in the hall, seemingly expressing its unwillingness and anger.

Seeing this, Xue Qiankun roared, causing the entire hall to tremble.

He couldn't accept this fact; Lou Xueyun—his best comrade, his most trusted ally—had actually died at the hands of Li Chengfeng.

Moreover, Lou Xueyun's meticulously planned resurrection plan had completely failed, which made him feel unprecedented despair.

"This is impossible! Lou Xueyun's calculations were so meticulous, how could he be found and destroyed so easily?"

Xue Qiankun's voice echoed in the hall, filled with unwillingness and anger.

But reality was cruel; Lou Xueyun had completely died, with no possibility of survival.

As Lou Xueyun's soul dissipated, the entire hall seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, fragments scattering, and smoke filling the air.

Xue Qiankun stood in place, his eyes bloodshot, like a wild beast about to lose control.

He knew that he had to adjust his mindset as soon as possible because the Blood Clan still needed him, and he also had to find a suitable explanation for Lou Xueyun's death.

That power, like a doomsday storm, raged and swept everything, carrying the might of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

Zhongli Meiying, under this violent force, was like a withered leaf in autumn, ruthlessly thrown into the sky, spitting out blood, her golden core trembling, teetering on the verge of collapse, fully showing her insignificance and powerlessness in front of a half-step God Transformation expert.

Seeing this scene, a hint of annoyance and unwillingness flashed in Xue Qiankun's eyes, and he roared out, "Waste! You can't even handle such a simple matter, and you even tried to deceive me?

Li Chengfeng, what kind of sorcery did that bastard use? Could it be the forbidden technique of a Celestial Diviner—Soul 引魂 Kill?

No, absolutely impossible, how could that kind of power be so weak?"

His words were full of doubt and anger, shrouded in a layer of haze by this sudden change.

"How did he do it?" Xue Qiankun muttered to himself, his heart surging.

Zhongli Meiying, at this moment, was already covered in wounds, blood constantly overflowing from the corner of her mouth, her eyes intertwined with regret, helplessness, and deep worries about the future.

She braced herself and said in an almost pious manner, "Princess, I suspect that Li Chengfeng may have tampered with Lou Xueyun, but not directly targeting Lou Xueyun himself, but… another identity."

"Absurd!" Xue Qiankun flatly denied, his tone revealing unquestionable confidence, "Lou Xueyun's rebirth this time is a complete abandonment of the past, like a phoenix涅槃 rebirth, the traces of the past have long disappeared.

If Li Chengfeng can capture the aura of Lou Xueyun in the past, then the current Lou Xueyun is like a newborn baby, pure and flawless, so how can he track him?"

However, Zhongli Meiying coughed and knelt down with difficulty, a resolute light flashing in her eyes: "Sect Leader, you don't know something.

In the past, there was an external avatar named Loulan, who unfortunately fell into Li Chengfeng's hands and is still under his control.

Li Chengfeng relied on Loulan's aura to find Lou Xueyun's flaw.

Although the Supreme Elder can change his aura, that is only for the main body; the external avatar, as another existence, is difficult to completely erase its aura.

If Lou Xueyun wants to be reborn, in addition to abandoning the past, he can only rely on Loulan's aura.

Li Chengfeng, that cunning thief, must have used this point."

These words, like a thunderclap, exploded in Xue Qiankun's heart, his eyes instantly dimmed, and he fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth, a resolute look flashing in his eyes: "No matter what the cost, I must eliminate Li Chengfeng!

If he can be used by me, naturally everyone will be happy; if he is stubborn, I will personally cut off this source of trouble!"

In his words, Xue Qiankun's voice was sonorous and powerful, revealing unquestionable determination and strength, as if even the air trembled for it.

Zhongli Meiying sneered inwardly, looking at this group of masters who claimed to be the pinnacle of the human world, she couldn't help but feel a burst of ridicule in her heart.

In the beginning, they were played around by a mere Foundation Establishment stage youth; Li Chengfeng used the contradictions and constraints between the major forces to force his way through a bloody path.

From the initial contempt and disdain, to the present, Zhongli Meiying only had deep admiration for Li Chengfeng.

At such a young age, he could do such earth-shattering things; he was truly extraordinary.

Recalling her sister, when Li Chengfeng was still a Qi Refining cultivator, he almost captured her alive; although her sister's death was not without luck, the tragic situation still made Zhongli Meiying's heart ache.

Not to mention the puppet Sect and Blood Clan war caused by diverting the disaster eastward, Li Chengfeng's deep layout and ruthless methods were chilling.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Li Chengfeng's rise was full of incredibility; Zhongli Meiying couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, secretly vowing that she must never be an enemy of Li Chengfeng in this life, otherwise, she might not even be able to protect herself.

She knew Li Chengfeng's cunning and power; that omnipresent figure could always give people a fatal blow at a critical moment, making it impossible to defend against.

So, Zhongli Meiying restrained all her emotions and said to the Sect Leader in a respectful manner: "Sect Leader, I think we should not have a head-on conflict with Li Chengfeng at the moment.

His escape and concealment techniques are unmatched, and his style of doing things is unpredictable.

Instead of doing so, we should concentrate on improving our own strength.

If the Sect Leader retreats to comprehend and strives to break through to the God Transformation realm, then Li Chengfeng will be easily destroyed."

Hearing this, Xue Qiankun's anger gradually subsided. He knew that even if he vented his anger on Zhongli Meiying or others at this moment, it would be of no avail.

He examined Zhongli Meiying, a trace of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "You are right; among the Blood Clan, besides Supreme Elder Lou Xueyun, your wisdom is also quite remarkable.

In that case, I will entrust you with the important task of handling this blasphemy matter; be sure to handle it beautifully.

And I will also retreat for a period of time, striving to break through. If I can really achieve something, Li Chengfeng will naturally not be a concern."

After saying that, Xue Qiankun turned and left, his back revealing a sense of determination and firmness.

Zhongli Meiying stood in place, looking at the Sect Leader's back, secretly planning her next step.
