Chapter 139 Even the pale butterfly has its time to break out of the cocoon; the golden scales too have their day to become a dragon!
swish! swish! swish!nine men and women, their expressions icy, turned their gaze toward xiao yi, all of them warriors of the tao tribulation realm.
among them were even two at the peak of the tao tribulation realm.
every look they directed at xiao yi was predatory, and at a word of command from the young man in white, they would all strike, besieging xiao yi.
hiss! hiss!
little lin wriggled out from xiao yi's embrace, standing up on its hind legs, its vigilant gaze fixed on the group.
jiang tianchen and the others wore grave expressions, yet they stood resolute by xiao yi's side.
xiao yi gripped fang qingzhu's delicate hand tightly, his eyes growing increasingly solemn. this time, the opponent they faced was even more terrifying than xue mantian. this entity known as baiyu was unheard of before, but unimaginably powerful.
merely from the nine tao tribulation realm warriors, one could discern quite a bit.
what mattered more was...
that unfathomable young man in white, a being even stronger than xue mantian.
at least according to what xiao yi knew, even for the great qian dynasty's foremost sect, tianjian sect, deploying such a lineup would not be an easy feat.
in a tense standoff,
the hitherto silent fang qingzhu suddenly tore off her red wedding veil.
the moment the white jade pendant fell into her hand, her mind was flooded with everything about baiyu, including her own ancestry, leaving her in a daze. only now did she regain her senses, barricading herself in front of xiao yi, glaring angrily at the young man: "i'd like to see who dares to make a move!"
the white jade pendant had already merged into fang qingzhu's body, and at her brow, it congealed into an icy blue lotus rune.
the instant they saw this icy blue rune,
the nine warriors knelt on one knee, their faces filled with reverence: "we pay homage to her holiness the holy maiden!"
upon seeing fang qingzhu's face, the young man in white also flashed a hint of amazement in his eyes, his right hand covering his left chest as he bowed slightly and said with a deep voice, "ye qingyu has seen her holiness the holy maiden. i am here by the holy master's command to escort you back!"
"i will not return!" fang qingzhu shook her head.
that white jade pendant had already revealed to her the secrets of her birth.
baiyu.
located in the extreme north, it was one of the most powerful sacred places of the human race.
her parents were once hunted by a powerful enemy during the fight for the position of holy master of baiyu, and in the chaos, they accidentally lost her just after she was born. they had
ye qingyu's pupils slightly constricted, "impossible!"
physical body realm a year ago?
and now at the tenth layer of the golden core realm?
able to kill someone at the first layer of the tao tribulation realm with a single punch?
how could that be possible?
even baiyu didn't have such a genius!
xiao yi said indifferently, "a butterfly must break out of its cocoon, and a golden-scaled fish shall have its day as a dragon. though i may not match you now, by the time we meet next year, i shall step on you!"
"humph, then i shall see how you'll tread on me!"
ye qingyu's expression flickered between light and shadow, and with a dark laugh, as he brushed past xue mantian, he ominously said, "her highness ordered blood shadow tower not to set foot in the tianqing kingdom for three years, but she didn't restrict other forces related to blood shadow tower. understand?"
xue mantian was startled, then quickly nodded, "this subordinate understands!"
"this is the heaven's remnant elixir, it can make your severed limbs grow back. i bestow it upon you!" ye qingyu threw an elixir over, then trod the air, stepping onto the ship and soaring away.
the ecstatic xue mantian immediately swallowed the elixir.
crack, crack, crack!
amidst a surge of blood-red light, his arms began to regrow.
he clenched his fists, which emitted a snap, crackle, and pop.
xue mantian's venomous gaze skimmed over xiao yi and the others, his voice thick with malice, "xiao yi, tianqing kingdom... this is just the beginning!"
