Just as the Nether Sword Beast was on guard, the young man grinned and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you all alright?"
As he spoke, the young man's gaze paused on Bei Lingxue for a moment before he looked away reluctantly.
Bei Lingxue gripped the long sword in her hand and walked angrily to the side of the Nether Sword Beast with Hua Yunshu, avoiding the young man's gaze.
"I'm Lu Nan and I'm just passing by!" The young man laughed and cupped his fists awkwardly.
"An Eight Stars Holy Court Guard. You're quite strong!" The Nether Sword Beast glanced at the token on Lu Nan's waist and murmured, ignoring Lu Nan.
Hua Yunzhan took a few steps forward and cupped his fists, "Senior, if there's nothing else, please feel free to leave!"
The group did not have a good impression of Lu Nan and even Hua Yunzhan did not hold back.
Suddenly, another figure flew over. It was a peerlessly beautiful woman whose appearance wasn't inferior to Hua Yunshu and Bei Lingxue. Her luxurious dress fluttered in the wind, and her cold grunt resounded before she even arrived. "Hmph! Brother Lu Nan saved you. It's fine if you're not grateful, but how dare you speak to him like that? "
Hua Yunzhan frowned, "Senior, do you think we need someone to save us?"
The lady landed beside Lu Nan and looked at him with admiration. Then, she said to Hua Yunzhan, "Who do you think you are? You've just entered the Martial Sage Realm. Do you know who I am? "
"That's enough, Kong Qin. I've said it before. Don't follow me!" Lu Nan said coldly. Then, he cupped his fists towards Hua Yunzhan and the rest, "Little brother, the Great Barren Prefecture has not been peaceful recently. It seems that you're heading to the prefecture city. Since we're going the same way, why don't we go together?"
Kong Qin angrily glared at Lu Nan. She was about to speak when she suddenly saw Hua Yunshu and Bei Lingxue beside the Netherworld Sword Beast. She couldn't help but frown and clench her fists tightly.
She finally understood why Lu Nan was being so cold towards her. It must be because of those two ladies!
She had hinted her feelings to Lu Nan many times, but he was still cold towards her. Now, he was being so warm towards the people in front of her.
The Netherworld Sword Beast glanced at Lu Nan and Kong Qin, then said with a smile, "We have enough strength to protect ourselves, so let's go our separate ways."
Lu Nan smiled and nodded slightly. He did not insist any further and said with a smile, "Then I'll take my leave. There will be many bandits along the way. Please be careful!"
After speaking, Lu Nan teleported away. However, Kong Qin coldly snorted. A hint of playfulness appeared in her eyes as she fled in another direction.
In an instant, the scene quieted down. Bei Lingxue stared at the place where Kong Qin had left. "This person is very hostile to us. I'm afraid she will do something to us."
The Netherworld Sword Beast smiled playfully. "She's just an Eighth Order Spirit Emperor. Don't worry about her tricks. Let's set off at dawn!"
Bei Lingxue nodded. She sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes to rest. She was very clear that with the Netherworld Sword Beast around, she was very safe.
At dawn, the sun rose from the east and dyed the lake golden red. However, the originally peaceful and quiet atmosphere was disrupted by a discordant aura.
A tyrannical aura surged from all directions and surrounded the Netherworld Sword Beast and the three people. The Netherworld Sword Beast's eyes were filled with disdain. "Little Xue, you guessed right. It seems like these people were called by that stinky woman!"
"Haha, there is indeed a Netherworld Sword Beast and two peerless beauties. Brothers, we're in luck!" A burly man stepped on the air and did not hide his powerful aura.
"One Ninth Order Spirit Emperor and more than forty Spirit Emperor Realm cultivators. You're underestimating me!" The Netherworld Sword Beast said as it spread its wings and ten sword feathers whistled out!
Suddenly, the burly man took out a disk array and threw it into the sky. "My Whistling Cloud Gang never fails. Netherworld Sword Beast, do you think you can do anything to me just because you're a natural sword cultivator?"
"Sect Leader is mighty!" Everyone firmly surrounded the area within a radius of several miles and shouted loudly.
"Haha, I'm here to capture the Netherworld Sword Beast. I must capture it. You guys kill that brat and capture the two beauties!" As the burly man laughed, a mysterious array surged out from the disk array and enveloped the area.
Under the array, the Netherworld Sword Beast was shocked to find that it could not control the sword!
Tensei had encountered this situation a few times. Now, the Netherworld Sword Beast encountered it too!
Without the ability to control the sword, it was equivalent to a tiger without claws and teeth. It was not much stronger than the burly man in the same realm!
"Bei Lingxue, protect them. Watch me capture the leader first!" The Netherworld Sword Beast said as it stepped on the air. Its wings were like huge battle blades that cut through the air with a destructive aura.
Bei Lingxue held her soft sword tightly and a cold aura seeped out of her body. At this moment, snowflakes began to appear under the sun. What was strange was that once these snowflakes appeared, they turned into terrifying attacks and flew in all directions.
"Oh? This little girl is not weak. Be careful! " Everyone laughed playfully. Vast amounts of spiritual energy surged and poured into the array. Immediately, Bei Lingxue's attacks were suppressed.
At the same time, more than ten people rushed into the array and rushed towards Bei Lingxue.
Bei Lingxue stabbed out with her soft sword and a shocking attack turned into streaks of sword radiance. More than ten people were shocked and retreated hurriedly. However, in the next moment, greed appeared on their faces. "That sword is a divine artifact?"
"Even if it isn't, it's close. This time, we're rich! Listen to the Gang Leader and attack together! "
In an instant, more than thirty masters of the Spirit Monarch Realm rushed over. Their domineering aura suppressed Bei Lingxue and made her look serious. "Don't force me to kill!"
"Haha, brothers, did you hear that? This little girl … "
Suddenly, a cold aura surged from the long sword in Bei Lingxue's hand. The air around the long sword was frozen, and everyone was stunned. Bei Lingxue waved her long sword. Immediately, the sky full of ice appeared again and swept towards the crowd.
In an instant, the ice whistled and froze everything in its path. More than thirty Spirit Monarchs were all turned into ice sculptures without exception!
In the ice sculptures, everyone's eyes were filled with fear. Their auras were getting weaker and weaker!
"Damn it, she's a master of the Snow Spirit Clan!" The Gang Leader, who was fighting with the Netherworld Sword Beast, was shocked. He did not even bother to keep the array disc and escaped without hesitation.
Poof …
A series of poof sounds was heard. More than thirty Spirit Monarchs broke the ice and escaped hurriedly. They knew very well that if Bei Lingxue really wanted to kill them, she could have done it the moment they were frozen!
"Little girl, you're soft-hearted again?" The Netherworld Sword Beast flew over and shook his head.
Bei Lingxue's eyes were filled with bitterness. "They were only ordered by Kong Qin. Forget it!"
"Sigh, you really need to gain experience. These people, just kill them. What's there to be soft-hearted about!" The Netherworld Sword Beast shook his head and sighed.
However, Bei Lingxue had always been like this, and the Netherworld Sword Beast could not do anything about it. After all, everyone's personality was different. With Bei Lingxue's personality, she would not kill unless she was forced into a corner. In the Netherworld Sword Beast's opinion, she was too kind.
Back then, Tensei thought so too!
"Let's go, it's time to go!" The Netherworld Sword Beast said as he collected the scattered array discs.
Suddenly, more powerful auras appeared from afar. This time, even the Netherworld Sword Beast's eyes narrowed. "Oh no!"
