an abuse of power. On this point alone, I can dismiss him.""Dong Lina's work is not rigorous, and I have removed her from her position.""You don't have that right either."Wang Xue凝, with a sudden chan...Yu Hualing's sword in her hand became increasingly sharp, the sword glow splitting Gong Yazao's long knife in half and subsequently slicing him into a cloud of blood mist, even his primordial spirit couldn't escape.

A powerful immortal was thus completely slain, his body and spirit destroyed.

But this came at a price. At that moment, the three men in black struck Rainflower Spirit with their three swords from three different directions.

Blood splattered, and the entire person flew out dozens of meters again.

"Little Spirit!"

Ye Bufan didn't expect this little girl to be so tough, even risking her own injury to kill the duck-voiced one.

He hurried over and hugged Yu Hualing in his arms. He was just about to check her injuries when suddenly, a tingling sensation ran through his scalp, and the hairs on his body stood on end. A huge sense of crisis arose from within him.

This feeling is so familiar, it's just like when I was targeted by that archer at Liuguang Jianzong before.

"Damn it, this guy ran here too!"

Ye Bufan cursed inwardly, but he was helpless. The opponent was at least a celestial immortal in cultivation, and the feather arrows they shot were incredibly powerful.

What's most crucial is that this guy was so insidious, always lurking quietly in the shadows until now.

Now Yuhua Ling's spirit body is grievously wounded, wanting to save herself is impossible, she can only rely on the Thunder God Forging Body Art to endure this arrow.

That overwhelming sense of crisis told him that with his current strength, he couldn't hold back at all.

As quick as a flash, a black feather arrow tore through the air, reaching Ye Bufan's nape in the blink of an eye.

The other party was indeed cunning. According to his plan, he wanted to kill Ye Bufan in one fell swoop, destroying the Mudan Palace and obliterating his primordial spirit together.

"Young Master, be careful!"

With a roar, Rain Flower Spirit, who was originally mortally wounded, suddenly sprang to life like she had been injected with chicken blood. She flipped over and stood behind Ye Bufan, taking the arrow meant for him with her own body.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered.

Yu Hualing was already severely injured, her protective immortal energy scattered. This arrow shot directly through her left chest.

"Xiaoling'er!"

Ye Bufan's eyes were bloodshot, he never expected this little girl to have taken the fatal arrow for him.

"Dare to kill my young master, die!"

Yu Hua Ling suddenly flicked her wrist, launching the slender sword in her hand towards the distance.

Hundreds of meters away, a giant tree exploded under the sword glow, and then the thin sword shot straight through a black shadow.

The man snorted coldly. Although he was seriously injured, he was not in immediate danger. With a flash of his figure, he darted away towards the distance at high speed.

Damn it, let him get away!

Yu Hua Ling cursed, unwilling to accept it, but she was powerless.

Before, she had already been wounded, but it was nowhere near as severe as this arrow. The previous strike had almost depleted all of her remaining Xian Yuan.

What's most crucial is that things aren't over yet, the three men in black are still here, watching us with hostile intent.

"Little Ling'er, are you alright"

Ye Bufan reached out and shoved a pill into Yuhua Ling's mouth.

"Young Master, this is no use to me anymore."

Yuhua Ling panted heavily, her face pale and her eyes glazed over, devoid of the former spirit she possessed.

Ye Bufan's eyes were filled with tears, his voice choked with emotion: "Xiao Ling'er, don't worry, I will definitely save you!"

"It's too late."

Yu Hualing said, "Young master, you once said that if I was in danger, you would also do your best to save me, right"

"Mmm!"

Ye Bufan nodded vigorously.

Yu Hualing's pale face blossomed with a brilliant smile: "That's it, I will also do my best to protect you. With me here, no one can hurt you!"

"Kill them quickly!"

Before he could finish his words, the three men in black roared and charged towards him.

The purpose of the three people was to kill Ye Bufan. At the same time, the fall of the hoarse voice also filled them with hatred for Yuhualing.

"Young Master, hurry and leave!"

Before Ye Bufan could even turn around, he was enveloped by a powerful force and instantly transported thousands of meters away.

"Little Spirit!"

He had experienced this feeling countless times before, it was a revelation from his primordial spirit.

"No!"

A heart-wrenching roar tore from his throat, but it was all too late.

The three men in black also realized something was wrong and turned around to run away, but it was too late.

Only a deafening roar could be heard. From Yuhualing as the center, a colossal energy erupted with a thunderous boom.

A raging gale whipped up a cloud of blood and dust, along with unstoppable tears, blurring Ye Bufan's vision.

"Xiao Ling'er!"

He slumped to the ground, his heart filled with endless sorrow.

"As long as the veil is lifted, you are my beloved, a fact that will never change."

"Young master, I'm very powerful, very powerful! I can protect you!"

"I will protect you with all my might, no one can hurt you as long as I am here..."

At this moment, Yuhua Ling's sweet smile and playful words exploded in his mind one after another.

As the smoke cleared, Ye Bufan rushed forward immediately. However, besides the pungent smell of blood, there was nothing around him, not even a single figure.

Ye Bufan knelt down with a thud. At this moment, his heart was filled with a complex mix of sadness, self-blame, and emotion.

If it weren't for himself, Yuhualing would still be that beautiful and happy little sprite. If it weren't for himself, the other party wouldn't have to face such a powerful enemy. If it weren't for protecting himself, he wouldn't have been forced to detonate his primordial spirit.

Just as he was at his most sorrowful, half of a white veil fell from the sky, it was none other than the veil from Rainflower Spirit's face.

Ye Bufan grabbed it, clutching it tightly in his palm. This was the only memento the little girl had left for him.

Composing himself, he knew now was not the time for sadness. He had to leave quickly, lest others arrive and they would be overwhelmed. He couldn't let the little girl die for him.

Thinking of this, he sacrificed the Nine Heavens to escape quickly. He flew for a full hour and chose a secluded valley where he entered the Dragon King's Palace.

"Woooo..."

As soon as he returned to the Dragon King's Palace, a gigantic head nuzzled up against him affectionately. It was Xiaoqing.

Having consumed so many healing pills from Ye Bufan and with his powerful physique, the injuries on his body have now recovered seven or eight out of ten.

Ye Bufan's heart felt a little comforted. He reached out and patted Xiaoqing's head. After being separated for so long, it was truly heartwarming to reunite again.

"Woooooo..."

It seemed to sense his inner sadness, Xiaoqing's big eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry.

"Okay, I'll tell you later."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he took out a black pill. "Eat this."

This is a celestial version of the Illusory Form Pill that he refined after obtaining the Xianying Blood藤. Xiaoqing can transform into human form after consuming this, and it will be much more convenient for them to communicate with each other.

Moreover, even a fifth-order monster transformed into a human wouldn't arouse suspicion from others, let alone be hunted by the Zhexing Tower.

Xia Qing opened her mouth wide and swallowed the pill without hesitation.

Then drowsiness came over him, and he fell asleep heavily on Dragon King Island.

This is normal. For Xian, Yao, and Shou to transform into humans, especially those with low levels, it takes time. How long they need to sleep for is unpredictable.

(I wonder if anyone will feel sad for the little girl's death. I don't really, because I know what happens next, hahaha.)
