In the sea, Lin Zhuyun spared no effort to fly towards the Falling Star Eyes.
Her cold, pretty face was covered in sparkling and translucent sweat. Affected by the frigid aura, the sweat was rapidly frozen.
A current of frigid aura formed by the spiritual power she had painstakingly cultivated enveloped her body.
At this moment, she couldn't care less about consuming her spiritual power. She only wanted to get as close to the Falling Star Eyes as possible, and then get even closer.
Her originally cold eyes were now filled with fear and panic. As her unhealthily white lips moved, her teeth chattered.
Her heart was filled with fear.
The other two Frigid Yin Sect survivors who had accompanied her had been killed by trial takers from the Heavenly Evil Sect and turned into the Bone Devouring Shuttle's flesh aura and soul power.
Tang Can, who she had relied on, couldn't even take care of himself under Hou Tianzhao and Chi Yin's fierce attacks.
Lu Baichan's Mystic Dawn Pearl was slashed by the young man from the Devil's Palace, sending dazzling light in all directions. It seemed that it was about to explode.
After being taken to the Frigid Yin Sect from the Qian Xuan Continent, she had been practicing cultivation diligently every day, seeking rapid breakthroughs in her cultivation.
This was the first time she had participated in such a joint trial by all the major sects.
The trials in the Sea of Starry Ash had always been peaceful and safe. The Frigid Yin Sect knew this, so they had arranged for her to come and experience it. She hadn't expected to experience such a battle.
Mo Yan's ruthless killing, Lin Yue, Hou Tianzhao, Qi Nandou, and the others' sudden baring of their fangs and slaughtering them had deeply shocked her.
Even now, she was still confused and terrified, not understanding why the two sides, who had been living in harmony just a moment ago, had suddenly become like this.
Seeing those familiar people die one after another, and seeing the Falling Star Eyes appear, she seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and wanted to grab it with all her might.
"Yan Lu! I want you to know one thing: once you join a sect, you can't care about your country! "
Fei Yi from the Devil's Palace scolded Yan Lu through a voice transmission at the bottom of the sea. "Even though that girl came from the same country as you, you can't hold back!"
It was Yan Lu who had volunteered to work with Shi Si to kill Lin Zhuyun.
But at this critical moment, Yan Lu clearly hadn't used his full strength. The fatal strike that was aimed at Lin Zhuyun's back quietly weakened when it came into contact with her.
This also allowed Lin Zhuyun to escape from Shi Si's second round of attacks.
Yan Lu thought that he had done it very discreetly, thinking that Fei Yi could not see through it.
"Senior brother Fei, I'm sorry."
Not daring to argue, Yan Lu lowered his head and apologized, "I'm new here, so I'm still not used to such a scene. I promise, I promise that next time, I won't hold back! "
"Just this once!"
Fei Yi took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with devilish flames. He suddenly pointed at the distant Falling Star Eyes and said, "That Yu Yuan is with Liu Ying from the Star Luna Sect in the Falling Star Eyes. The Taiyuan Sect's Su Yan, the Ancient Desolate Sect's Du Huang, and the Sword Sect's Kong Banbi are by his side! "
Yan Lu was shocked.
"Always remember one thing. A faction is a faction!" Fei Yi snorted coldly. "Since you've been chosen by the Devil's Palace and entered the Devil's Palace, you have to cut off your so-called old ties! Not to mention that Yu Yuan, who used to be your best friend in the Demon Moon Empire, even if you two are blood brothers, you are not allowed to show any mercy when meeting each other! "
Yan Lu's face was filled with confusion.
He watched Lin Yue, Chi Yin, Hou Tianzhao, Qi Nandou, and the other survivors of the Blood God Sect, the Juling School, the Heavenly Evil Sect, and the Red Devil School slaughter the people from the Cloud Water Sect, the Xuantianzong Sect, the Primal Yang Sect, and the Frigid Yin Sect without any hesitation. He also noticed that some of them had sympathetic expressions on their faces.
It was as if they were familiar with those who had been killed before they had even entered their sects.
It was even possible that their relationship with those who had been killed was the same as that between him and Yu Yuan.
However, under Mo Yan's orders, under the gazes of Hou Tianzhao, Qi Nandou, and the other leaders, they ultimately killed those who had been familiar with them.
"Has the path of cultivation always been so cruel?"
This was the first time Yan Lu had witnessed the bloody battles between the disciples of the Tianyuan Continent and the Tranquil Continent when they encountered danger during their so-called trials.
Compared to the wars between empires, the open and covert struggles between the Tianyuan Continent and the Tranquil Continent were even crueler.
Yan Lu sighed inwardly.
"Yu Yuan, do you want to save her?"
Liu Ying, who had regained control of the Meteorite Eyes from the Primal Chaos Kun, asked Lin Zhuyun in a soft voice at almost the same time.
Su Yan suddenly turned her head and looked at her blankly, thinking, "What will you do?"
Du Huang, Kong Banbi, and the trial takers of the Sword Sect and the Ancient Desolate Sect also expressed their concern.
By this time, everyone knew about the relationship between Yu Yuan and Lin Zhuyun. They knew that although the two had fought on the Qian Xuan Continent, their engagement had never been annulled.
Nominally, they were still fiancé and fiancée.
Tang Can of the Primal Yang Sect, whom Lin Zhuyun regarded as her backer, couldn't even protect himself.
The only reason she had been able to get close to the Meteorite Eyes alive was because Yan Lu, who had experienced such a battle for the first time, had been compassionate and hadn't dealt her a fatal blow.
Her only hope now was to get close to the Meteorfall Star Eyes. That is, to enter the Meteorfall Star Eyes.
As long as she was allowed to enter, her chances of survival would greatly increase.
"Yu Yuan?" Su Yan exclaimed softly.
Even the Primal Chaos Kun, which was blinking its crimson and white eyes, was staring at him.
"Don't activate the star energy barrier. Don't let her in." Yu Yuan's tone was calm and his expression indifferent as he said to Liu Ying, "She has always wanted to annul the engagement. She has treated it as a disgrace since she was a child. According to the matriarch's dying wish, after she came to the Yu Clan, she condoned the evil slave's poisoning of me, almost causing me to die before I could truly awaken from my slumber … "
His lips parted, and he suddenly laughed.
His smile was cold and heartless. "Since she wanted to annul the engagement so badly, I will fulfill her wish. Now that she is dead, the engagement will be annulled as well."
Inside the Falling Star Eyes, everyone was silent after hearing his words.
The inside of the Meteorite Eyes artifact was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Kong Banbi stared blankly at Qin Lie with a face full of shock.
Du Huang nodded slightly, but didn't comment.
Su Yan was stunned. Her heart was filled with complex emotions, and she didn't know what to do.
Liu Ying, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment before she softly said, "Oh."
Outside the Meteorite Eyes, brilliant star energy spread out and formed a barrier of light. There wasn't a single gap, nor was there any path of star energy that would lead Lin Zhuyun in.
The group of people was separated by a transparent barrier of star energy, and they all had different expressions as they watched Lin Zhuyun approach.
"Step!"
Yu Yuan, who had been at the center of the Meteorite Eyes, slowly stepped forward and arrived at the front of the meteorite.
He had his back to everyone, and he faced Lin Zhuyun directly through a thin barrier of star energy.
The barrier was sparkling and translucent, so he and Lin Zhuyun could see the slightest change in each other's expressions.
His eyes were bright and full of vigor, and he had a faint smile on his face. His lips moved through the barrier as he softly said, "Now that you are dead, the engagement will be annulled as you wished. As for me, I am free and unfettered, so I won't be restricted by the engagement. I will be even more free in the future. "
Lin Zhuyun's face was instantly filled with sadness and despair.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but she couldn't say a single word.
She wanted to scream, she wanted to live, she wanted to beg Yu Yuan to let her in, but she couldn't.
Her heart was filled with helplessness and loss. Scenes suddenly appeared in her mind. She remembered her high and mighty attitude in Dark Moon City and the Yu Family Town. She had never given Yu Yuan a second glance, and she had looked down on the Yu Family clansmen.
That was because she had looked down on the Yu Family from the bottom of her heart, and she had looked down on her muddle-headed fiancé even more.
Did she really not know what Yin Jue had done in the Yu Clan under her father's orders?
Had she really punished Yin Jue and made that evil slave stop?
As she thought of this and looked at her fiancé, who seemed to have advanced in his cultivation, behind the transparent barrier of star energy, Lin Zhuyun's heart was filled with bitterness and regret.
A thin layer of barrier separated life and death, isolated all gratitude and grudges.
"Yu Yuan! I beg you, let her in! Let her live! "
Suddenly, Tang Can, who was surrounded by Hou Tianzhao and Chi Yin and was covered in blood, let out a resounding roar that echoed from the bottom of the sea.
Tang Can, who was like a trapped beast, was bleeding from his eyes as the balls of flame that surrounded him exploded one after another.
Even though they were separated by a great distance, he actually pleaded for Lin Zhuyun. "It's all because of me that the Frigid Yin Sect harmed you and the Yu Clan. It has nothing to do with her! She's your fiancée in name, so please give her a way out! "
Lin Zhuyun's delicate body trembled slightly as she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Tang Can.
Perhaps she had never thought that this chosen one of the Primal Yang Sect would actually plead with Yu Yuan and take all the responsibility for her sake.
Hou Tianzhao and Chi Yin had strange expressions on their faces as they slowed down their fierce attacks.
The young man from the Crimson Devil Sect, who was waving the fan with both hands, came to a stop. With an intrigued expression, he gazed at Yu Yuan, who was shrouded in starry eyes, and clicked his tongue. "How touching. That old dog Tang Zheng is full of schemes and ruthlessness. Who would have thought that his grandson would actually be such a sentimental person? "
Chi Yin chimed in. "I heard that the Frigid Yin Sect only chose that woman as a human cauldron for him. A human cauldron can be sacrificed at any time to help him practice his flame incantations. I can't believe that Tang Can would risk his life to plead for leniency for a woman from a small clan with mediocre cultivation talent. "
Hou Tianzhao shook his head and said, "I'm so touched that I can't bear to kill him right now."
Yu Yuan couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't expect that you would have such a deep affection for her. Since that's the case, I guess I'll just let the two of you die together. Lin Zhuyun, you can't bear to let a man who's been so good to you die alone, right? Well, I won't see you off. I hope you can continue your love in the netherworld. "
With these words, he turned around and walked towards Liu Ying, ignoring Lin Zhuyun.
"Stay away from her!"
