"Did the demons all escape?"
"It was Fairy Luâs flying sword that drove the demons away!"
"Fairy Lu is invincible!"
"We survived!"
...
Upon witnessing the four demons being chased and forced to flee in panic by that peerlessly sharp flying sword, dragging their injured bodies away.
All the citizens in the Holy City were extremely excited.
Especially those young cultivators who already admired Little Yan, now they revered her even more.
A similar situation occurred on the Holy Mountain.
In fact, the disciples of the Holy Mountain were even more ecstatic.
After all, over the years, Little Yan had long been the most revered goddess in the hearts of all the young disciples.
Now seeing her unleash her great power, slashing demons, saving countless people from life-and-death crises.
The excitement in the hearts of countless disciples was almost uncontrollable, and the entire Holy Mountain was immersed in cheers.
In stark contrast, however, was the quietness at the top of the Holy Mountain.
"Fairy Lu, stop, those demons have already fled, you should first halt the Big Array," the First Holy Master cautiously said.
"Yes, Little Yan, forcing the Big Array to continue operating like this will deplete your essence," Han Lingshuang also expressed concern.
At this moment, Little Yan was filled with an unparalleled array fluctuation, her expression cold and stern.
The reason her flying swordâs power increased significantly, making it difficult for even the four Golden Core demons to resist.
Was because the First Holy Master had transferred control of the Big Array laid by Lu Qing to Little Yan.
It was precisely with the support of the Array Power that Little Yanâs flying sword could reach its limit, nearly slaying the Eagle Demon from such a great distance.
However, the array power of the Holy Mountainâs Big Array was not so easy to activate, and the pressure to endure was incredibly intense.
The three Holy Masters, having been recognized by the Mountain Soul, could barely manage to activate it.
Therefore, the First Holy Master was very concerned about Little Yanâs condition.
Upon hearing Han Lingshuangâs words, Little Yanâs cold expression slowly softened.
Finally, she gently nodded and stopped urging the Big Array.
Once the array fluctuations calmed down, Little Yanâs aura declined significantly, and her complexion turned pale.
Her figure flickered, and she disappeared from the spot.
"I will first return to cultivate, leave the rest to you."
Watching Little Yan fly towards the Cave Mansion, the First Holy Master felt a surge of helplessness.
He could sense that after this battle, Little Yanâs demeanor seemed to have grown even colder.
"Holy Master, is Little Yan going to be alright?" Han Lingshuang asked worriedly.
"With Fairy Luâs cultivation, this level of injury shouldnât be a significant problem for her," the First Holy Master sighed, "But over the years, Fairy Lu has honed her cultivation through killing, wandering the world slaying demons, her cultivation has indeed advanced rapidly, but likewise, it has left behind potential risks.
Now her temperament has been influenced by the killing intent, becoming increasingly cold.
Iâm worried that if this continues, it will cause irreparable consequences."
Han Lingshuang was silent for a moment and said, "Iâve tried to persuade Little Yan over the years, but the effect has been minimal, if only Iâd been by her side earlier."
"Indeed, itâs too late, now the only one who can guide Fairy Lu back from this path might be Lu Qing. I think even the elder doctor may find it difficult to deter Fairy Lu from this path of slaughter."
Thinking of that figure, Han Lingshuang felt a bit dazed before asking, "Holy Master, when will Mr. Lu Qing return?"
"I donât know," the First Holy Master shook his head, "Fairy Lu mentioned that when Mr. Lu Qing left years ago, he said he would return within fifty years at the latest, but now fifty years have long passed, and yet Mr. Lu Qing hasnât returned. Perhaps thatâs why Fairy Luâs temperament has grown increasingly cold over the past few years."
"Fifty years, huh?" Han Lingshuang shuddered, "Mr. Lu Qing isnât one to break promises. Now that the fifty-year deadline has passed, and he hasnât returned, could it be..."
Han Lingshuang dared not continue, but her eyes revealed fear, as she didnât dare imagine that outcome.
"Lord Han, thereâs no need to worry, although Mr. Lu Qing hasnât returned, Fairy Luâs behavior seems not to be overly concerned about Mr. Lu Qingâs situation.
Perhaps Mr. Lu Qing left some miraculous means when he left, by which Fairy Lu could know his safety at all times."
The First Holy Master comforted.
"Is that so, thatâs good."
Han Lingshuang breathed a sigh of relief, but then she seemed to suddenly think of something and blurted out:
"Isnât Little Yan eagerly improving her cultivation because she wants to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm soon and then head to the stars to find Mr. Lu Qing?"
"This..."
The First Holy Masterâs heart shook, if it were anyone else, he might have responded that it was impossible.
But with Little Yan, he truly couldnât guarantee.
No, it should be said that Han Lingshuangâs words enlightened him, making him feel that Little Yan might indeed have such intentions.
"Perhaps Lord Hanâs guess is correct, Fairy Lu likely has this idea."
"But the cosmos is vast and unknown, potentially full of dangers, even with Mr. Lu Qing not returning timely, how much more difficult would it be for Little Yan alone?"
"If Fairy Lu truly intends this, thereâs nothing we can say to dissuade her, we can only hope that Mr. Lu Qing returns soon before Fairy Lu reaches the Primordial Spirit Realm."
The First Holy Master sighed, looking towards Little Yanâs secluded Cave Mansion, filled with worry.
