Chapter 741: Stop pretending
The body of the second elder of Xingyao Sect was involuntarily pushed back because of this powerful impact, and he took several steps back before he could barely stabilize his body.
His hair was flying in disarray and his robe was rustling in the strong wind, making him look very disheveled.
At this moment, his face turned very ugly. His originally confident expression had long disappeared, replaced by a look of fear.
He was secretly shocked in his heart that this seemingly weak little girl actually hid such terrifying strength. This was completely beyond his expectations.
However, this panic only lasted for a moment and was soon overwhelmed by endless anger.
He widened his eyes, glared at Su Chenyin who was not far ahead, and shouted with gnashed teeth:
"Humph, little girl, I didn't expect you to be so capable! But no matter what happens today, you will never leave here alive!"
After saying that, he took a deep breath, and the divine power in his body surged wildly. Then he swung his staff violently, and suddenly countless sharp purple lights shot towards Su Chenyin.
Su Chenyin seemed unusually calm and composed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a look of disdain.
She jumped lightly, and her whole body danced in the air like a beautiful butterfly, light and graceful.
At the same time, the sword in her hand began to dance rapidly, and the sword shadows flickered, dazzling people.
Strands of black and white sword energy whizzed out, intertwining and entangled with each other, eventually forming an impenetrable and powerful defense network.
Once the rushing purple light touches this defense net, it will be bounced back immediately and will not be able to break through it at all.
Where the sword energy collided with the purple light, a dazzling light burst out, and the surrounding air began to twist violently as if it could not withstand such a huge collision of spiritual power.
The ground could not bear the weight, and the shock wave of spiritual power created deep cracks on the ground, which looked like scars on the earth and were shocking to the eye.
The originally calm sand and rocks on the battlefield were also affected at this moment and were swept into the air.
They spun rapidly with the air flow and soon gathered into a dusty fog that covered the sky.
The dust and fog spread, covering the entire battlefield, making it difficult for people to see the specific situation inside.
Ling Ji, who had been closely following the development of the battle, saw this and her beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she instantly had an idea in her mind.
She made an unnoticeable gesture to her subordinates behind her, and while everyone's attention was focused on the fierce battle between Su Chenyin and the second elder of Xingyao Sect, she led them to retreat slowly and silently.
Ling Ji and her group carefully avoided the crowd and tried not to attract other people's attention.
Their goal is clear - to find the legendary center of the Cang Ming Realm and the location of the forces of good and evil in the Qianluoluo Palace.
However, as the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, Ling Ji's little action, which she thought was unnoticed by anyone, did not escape Xuan Boqing's sharp hawk-like eyes.
Xuan Boqing's figure flashed like a ghost, and in an instant he appeared across the road in front of Ling Ji and others, blocking their way.
He folded his hands across his chest, standing there calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a sarcastic arc.
He said leisurely, "Goddess Lingji, you are in such a hurry, where are you going? Are you planning to secretly look for the heart of the Cangming Realm and the forces of good and evil while everyone is not paying attention?"
The voice was like a huge bell, echoing in the air with a hint of teasing.
Ling Ji obviously did not expect Xuan Boqing to suddenly appear and intercept her at this moment. She was shocked and her heart seemed to skip a beat.
Her steps paused abruptly because of this sudden change, and her body trembled slightly, like a frightened deer.
Her originally pretty face was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and her expression became extremely ugly, as if a storm was about to come.
Ling Ji's eyes widened with anger, and she glared fiercely at Cheng Yaojin who had suddenly appeared before her. She gritted her teeth and responded, "Why? Xuan Boqing, do I have to report everything I do to you?"
"Hmph!" Ling Ji snorted disdainfully, "Stop pretending to be so hypocritical here. Don't think that this goddess doesn't know that we have secretly sent a lot of people to Qianluo Palace to search for the core of the Cangming Realm and the so-called forces of good and evil!"
"If you have the time to worry about me, you might as well worry more about yourself!" Ling Ji was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her originally fair and delicate hands were clenched into fists.
After hearing Ling Ji's angry rebuke, Xuan Boqing was not afraid at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth raised higher, revealing a smile full of sarcasm.
He raised his head slightly and chuckled obnoxiously: "Hahahaha... Goddess Lingji, why are you so angry?"
"We are all smart people. How can everyone present not see your little trick?"
After saying this, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain swept across the followers behind Ling Ji quickly and ruthlessly like a sharp arrow.
He looked like he regarded them as a bunch of ridiculous clowns.
When Ling Ji heard Xuan Boqing's sarcastic laughter, she instantly felt a nameless fire rushing from the bottom of her heart to her forehead. She was so angry that her chest heaved violently, as if her chest was about to explode.
Her originally beautiful eyes seemed to be on fire at this moment, burning with rage, and she gnashed her teeth as if she wished to tear the person in front of her into pieces immediately.
Ling Ji roared in anger: "Xuan Boqing, don't be so presumptuous! It is not your turn to speak nonsense and make decisions about what my Lingxiao Palace does!"
"The core of the Cangming Realm and the forces of good and evil originally belong to my Lingxiao Palace. No one can dare to snatch them from me, the goddess!" Ling Ji stared at Xuan Boqing who blocked her way and gritted her teeth in anger.
Her body was trembling slightly, and the anger in her heart had made her lose her usual calmness.
At this moment, she was like an enraged lioness, ready to pounce on the enemy at any time.
However, facing Ling Ji who was so furious, Xuan Boqing remained calm and did not show any fear at all.
He slowly stretched out his hands, gently straightened his slightly wrinkled sleeves, then raised his head, his eyes as sharp as torches, shooting straight at Ling Ji.
Those eyes were cold and sharp, like the flickering stars in the night sky, revealing endless chillness that made people dare not look directly at them.
"Goddess Lingji, I have to say, you are too naive. The core of the Cangming Realm and the forces of good and evil, with so many powerful people present, are not something you, Lingxiao Palace, can easily get involved in? Do you think you have that ability?"
Xuan Boqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer, and continued to sneer in that cold tone.
