Suddenly, the surging water-attributed energy in the room began to violently pulse. Even the droplets of water that floated in the air like happy spirits lost their ability to stay afloat. They all fell from the air, shattering when they hit the ground.
The water attribute Yuan Qi that filled the secret room suddenly became very unstable.
Huang Luan, who was sitting cross-legged in the secret chamber, slowly opened her eyes. Her enchanting eyes glanced at the water droplets on her face as she frowned slightly.
"Strange. Why do I suddenly feel like I'm unable to control the water-attributed energy? And the energy within me seems to have lost control," Huang Luan murmured to herself as she pondered. Huang Luan let out a low murmur and revealed a pondering expression. Then she seemed to have thought of something and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. She said to herself, "Could it be because of the cultivation method? That old thing didn't give me the real Heavenly Scripture of the Sunflower Water."
The more Huang Luan thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Her face gradually became stern, but she soon recovered her previous coldness and calmness. She said softly, "It doesn't matter whether the cultivation method the old bastard gave me is the true Scripture of the Aquatic Sunflower or not. I've already become a Saint Ruler, so I'm countless times more powerful than a Heaven Saint Master. Once that old bastard comes, I'll immediately put my life on the line against him. Even if I have to pay with my life, I won't let him have it easy. As long as the news of what happened here spreads, the people of the clan will definitely think of a way to save great-grandfather. "
Determination filled Huang Luan's eyes. She had already made up her mind to die. She no longer wished to live as freely as she did in the past. She knew that she would probably never be able to live the same life as before.
Suddenly, a series of muffled rumbles sounded, and the heavy door of the secret room slowly opened.
Huang Luan immediately dismissed her thoughts. Her eyes became extremely sharp in a single moment as intense killing intent flickered in her eyes. She knew that the ancestor of the Huanggu clan had come. If she wanted to heavily injure the ancestor of the Huanggu clan, who was stronger than her, she needed to unleash her full strength while he was unprepared. Otherwise, she would be at an absolute disadvantage in an open battle.
Rich and pure water attribute energy boiled in the secret room. In Huang Luan's hand, a two-finger-wide blue longsword appeared. It was wrapped in a layer of intense blue light. Through the blue light, one could clearly see that there was a layer of water ripples flowing on the surface of the longsword.
At this time, the door of the secret room was already half open. It was pitch black outside. A black figure was quietly standing outside the door of the secret room. He couldn't see his face clearly.
In all these years, only a single person had come to the room, and that was the ancestor of the Huanggu clan. As a result, Huang Luan obviously treated the person who had opened the door as the ancestor of the Huanggu clan. Before the door was completely open, she directly stabbed out.
This was the most powerful attack Huang Luan could unleash after charging up. She did not hold back at all, even using the strength of a First Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler beyond her limits.
The sword tore through the air and immediately shone with blue light. It was as dazzling as the sun, dyeing the gloomy room blue. Powerful pulses of energy pulsed from the sword, causing the space there to distort. Black threads immediately appeared, creating spatial cracks.
Huang Luan discovered that the water-attributed Saint Force within her began to pulse in an extremely unstable manner as she stabbed out. She felt like she was about to lose control. However, she no longer cared about that now. She focused all of her attention on the attack.
She wanted to deal the heaviest strike while the enemy was caught off guard. She did not want to kill him, only injure him.
The black figure outside the door did not become flustered at all. He did not try to dodge or block at all. He remained where he was and did not radiate with any energy at all.
Huang Luan's attack was as fast as lightning. She arrived before the figure in a single instance and stabbed toward his chest mercilessly. The moment the sword struck the figure's chest, the sword shone with a blue light. Huang Luan discovered that the clothes and figure of the person before her were slightly different from the ancestor of the Huanggu clan. However, she no longer had the time to think about this.
Boom!
Huang Luan's all-out attack fiercely pierced into the chest of the black figure standing outside the door of the secret room. The surging and pure water attribute energy immediately burst out, producing a burst of oppressive rumbling sound. The strong energy aftermath turned into a terrifying shockwave that collided with the surrounding walls, causing the entire secret room to shake violently. If it were not for the fact that the room was tough enough, it probably would have collapsed from Huang Luan's attack.
When Huang Luan saw that her all-out attack had actually accurately pierced her opponent, her heart immediately rejoiced. However, the trace of joy in her heart quickly dissipated into thin air. This was because she had already keenly felt that her sword did not penetrate her opponent's body as she had imagined. Instead, it was as if she had stabbed a piece of incomparably hard steel. The powerful rebounding force had actually shaken her arm to the point of numbness.
Huang Luan's heart sank. She had already realized that the ancestor of the Huanggu clan had probably come prepared. Her full-powered attack had failed to harm him at all.
"Luan 'er!"
Just at this moment, a gentle voice entered Huang Luan's ears. Hearing this voice, Huang Luan's delicate body violently trembled because she was too familiar with this voice. It had even appeared frequently in her memory.
Huang Luan stared at the figure standing outside the room in shock. Afterwards, with the blue light from the sword, she finally saw the figure's appearance.
This was such a familiar face. Although there were some slight changes compared to a few years ago, this face had been deeply imprinted in the depths of Huang Luan's mind. Even after thousands of years, she would not be able to forget it.
Huang Luan became stunned. She stared blankly at the figure that she had missed so much. She was unable to react for quite some time. At this moment, her heart was trembling, and her delicate body couldn't help but slightly tremble. Two lines of sparkling and translucent tears even flowed out of her pair of bright and beautiful eyes, slowly sliding down her long cheeks.
"J- Jianchen." Huang Luan's voice trembled slightly. At this moment, she struggled to believe that the person before her was not the ancestor of the Huanggu clan, but the person she had missed so much, Jianchen.
At this moment, she felt like everything before her was a dream. It was not real.
"Luan 'er, you've suffered all these years." Jianchen softly said from outside the room. His voice was extremely gentle, but his heart throbbed with pain.
The sword was still pressed against Jianchen's chest. Huang Luan's full-powered attack earlier had only managed to pierce through Jianchen's clothes. It had failed to injure Jianchen at all.
"Jianchen, is it really you?" Huang Luan asked with a trembling voice. Large droplets of tears rolled down her cheeks, becoming more and more turbulent. The sword in her hand also began to tremble as it drooped down.
"Luan 'er, it's me. I've come to save you. You're safe now. No one will be able to hurt you in the future." Jianchen took a step forward and hugged Huang Luan tightly. His heart felt like it was being stabbed.
He did not dare to imagine just how much Huang Luan had suffered, just how much pressure she had endured, and just how much suffering she had endured.
There were countless people with tragic fates on the Tian Yuan Continent. There were even many people whose fates were thousands of times more painful than Huang Luan's. However, Huang Luan held an extremely important position in Jianchen's heart. He would never allow any harm to befall her.
The sword in Huang Luan's hand slowly disappeared. The coldness on her face gradually vanished, replaced by a gentleness that had not appeared on her face for many years. Even her cold gaze rapidly softened. She then loudly called out Jianchen's name and threw herself into Jianchen's arms. She began to sob loudly, as if she wanted to vent all the pressure and suffering she had endured over the years.
Jianchen hugged Huang Luan tightly. He could clearly feel that his clothes had been soaked by Huang Luan's tears. While he felt heartache for what Huang Luan had gone through, he also felt a sliver of joy. He was happy that Huang Luan had become a Saint Ruler now.
Suddenly, Jianchen's eyes narrowed and he frowned slightly. He could feel the energy within Huang Luan violently surging, as if it was completely out of her control. It surged wildly in her body, rampaging about. In the end, it actually charged out of her body with a bright blue light and arrived in the secret room.
As the energy leaked out, Huang Luan's entire body began to shine with a bright blue light. It was extremely dazzling.
"Luan 'er, what's going on?" Jianchen worriedly asked. He already sensed that something was wrong with what was happening.
Huang Luan slowly calmed down. She raised her head from Jianchen's chest and no longer looked coldly at Jianchen. Instead, her gaze was filled with gentleness. She said, "Jianchen, there's probably something wrong with the Scripture of the Sunflower Aqua that old bastard gave me. It's very difficult for me to control the energy in my body right now. I feel like all the energy in my body is about to break free and escape my control." With that, Huang Luan gently rested her head on Jianchen's chest again. Her face was filled with satisfaction and happiness. She did not care about the situation of her energy going out of control at all.
She had already made up her mind to die long ago. Aside from Jianchen and Huang Tianba, she no longer cared about anything else. Since her great-grandfather had been saved and the person she missed the most was by her side, Huang Luan was very satisfied.
She did not care whether she was a Saint Ruler or not. As long as Jianchen was by her side, she possessed the entire world. She did not care about anything else.
"That old bastard, how dare he treat you like this! I'll definitely make him suffer a fate worse than death!" Jianchen's face paled. He was filled with anxiety. He was unable to stop the energy from leaking out of Huang Luan's body at all.
Suddenly, a streak of golden light shot out from between Jianchen's eyebrows. The saint artifact had already flown out from his sea of consciousness. It turned into a fist-sized, golden tower that slowly revolved in the room.
"Luan 'er, let's go to the artifact space. Don't worry, I'll definitely get the solution from that bastard," Jianchen comforted her before wanting to take Huang Luan into the artifact space.
"Jianchen!"
Just when Jianchen was about to enter the artifact space, a female voice rang out in the empty room. Her voice was beautiful, and it seemed to be filled with endless charm. It could steal souls.
