The women looked at me, and I at them, their eyes filled with incredulity. If these words had come from anyone elseâs mouth, the women would likely have taken it as a cruel joke, a mere prank.
But when Luo Ji spoke, no one thought it was a joke!
Luo Ji rarely spoke, but when she did, her words were not to be taken lightly by anyone, and no one ever doubted them.
"Luo Ji little sister, are you telling the truth? Who would dare to attack us?"
Zi Yun asked Luo Ji, her own strength was not weak, and as the Saintess of the Purple Cloud Palace, she had many powerful people under her command. It could be said that if someone really wanted to trouble Zi Yun, most forces simply couldnât do it.
However, from the implication in Luo Jiâs words, it was clear that even if she, Zi Yun, were to leave this villa, she would be doomed!
What kind of strength could be so formidable?
Zi Yunâs brow furrowed slightly as she quickly pondered in her heart.
Ye Luo had many enemies; this, the women were acutely aware of, but at least up until now, they had not heard of any force that could truly threaten Ye Luo or all the women around her.
Suddenly, Luo Ji violently turned around, looking toward the door.
"Theyâre here, Zi Yun sisterâs guards are going to be sacrificed!"
What!
Zi Yun stood up abruptly. The ones guarding the villa were two of Zi Yunâs six formidable Guards, each possessing immense strength. They had followed Zi Yun from a young age and were like sisters to her. Now, Luo Ji was saying these two were going to be sacrificed!
How could Zi Yun not be anxious?
But as Zi Yun made it to the doorway, she was stopped by Luo Ji.
"Luo Ji, let me go! Theyâre like sisters to me; I canât just watch them be in trouble!"
"No, you canât go out. If you go, youâll die too, and Ye Luo will be heartbroken."
"Luo Ji, I know you mean well, but I canât just stand by and do nothing..."
However, while they were speaking, a battle had already erupted outside.
"Who is it!"
Everyone could hear that it was Feng Tian who called out.
Feng Tian had been sitting outside the villa in meditation, silently protecting all the women inside, but a sudden terrifying sensation jolted him awake. Without a momentâs hesitation, he flew into the air, ready for combat.
At the same time, with Feng Tianâs voice, dozens of figures converged from all directions, obviously all those secretly protecting the villa.
"Eh, so many people guarding here, haha. Ants, roll aside. Today, this lord has been commanded by the master to kill someone as a lesson to that youngster. So, this lord wonât bother slaying you all."
A disturbance rippled through the air, followed by a figure emerging outside the villa. This scene was clearly witnessed by all the women standing by the window.
"Boom!"
With a casual wave of his hand, the assailant knocked more than a dozen powerful individuals, including Feng Tian, to the ground.
The person was shrouded in a black cloak, but the strength displayed was immensely formidable.
He did not kill anyone; perhaps, these individuals were simply not worth his blade.
This person took steps toward the villa, his mission to kill a random woman inside and then use her to threaten Ye Luo.
To the cloaked figure, this task seemed simple.
But shortly after receiving the order, he had discovered that all of Ye Luoâs women had gathered inside this very villa, and thus, the cloaked figure had no choice but to come here.
"Stay in the house and do not come out, I will face them!"
"No, Luo Ji, come back! That person is too strong; youâre no match for him!"
At this moment, how could the women still doubt Luo Jiâs words? They all knew just how formidable Feng Tian was.
But to think that even Feng Tian had been defeated by that man in the black robe in a single move, wasnât Luo Ji walking to her death by going out?
Thatâs why Ling Qingya tried to stop Luo Ji.
But Luo Ji didnât respond at all and had already stepped out of the villa.
"Oh, finally someone comes out? Little girl, are you that kidâs woman too? Youâre quite pretty, but itâs a shame. The master has given orders, so you must die!"
The man in the black robe looked at Luo Ji with nothing but disdain in his eyes.
"There is a smell on you that I hate."
Luo Ji continued walking steadily forward, looking at the man in the black robe, but her face remained utterly indifferent, without a hint of emotional change.
"Ha ha, little girl, it doesnât matter. In a moment, you wonât hate me anymore. Such a fine body, Iâll definitely turn you into my most cherished puppet!"
The man in the black robe didnât care at all and, while talking, his figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared less than two meters away from Luo Ji!
In the blink of an eye, he had crossed several hundred meters, and no one could even see how he had moved.
"Little girl, die!"
The man in the black robe reached out with his left hand, in which there seemed to be a black vortex. Just looking at it made one feel as if their spirit was being sucked away.
But Luo Ji showed no change at all, and with a wave, a milky white light screen appeared.
"Boom!"
A violent wind kicked up, sand and stones flew, and all the ornamental vegetation planted outside the villa was swept into mid-air, then withered instantly.
However, the milky white light screen around Luo Ji remained completely unaffected.
"What is this power? Why do I feel so uncomfortable? Who are you, little girl? Who are you exactly?"
At this moment, the man in the black robe actually showed a terrified expression, as if the power emanating from Luo Ji was severely restraining him.
"There is a smell on you that I hate, so I will purify you!"
Luo Ji said indifferently, and as she spoke, a beam of milky white light wrapped directly toward the man in the black robe.
Strangely enough, in the face of this milky white light, the man in the black robe seemed to have no power to resist and was simply enveloped.
From the body of the man in black, billows of black smoke burst forth, attempting to resist the milky white light screen, but it was futile!
The milky white light emitted by Luo Ji continued to press relentlessly toward the man in the black robe.
"Elder!"
Suddenly, two more men in black robes appeared in the sky.
Just like the previous one, these figures appeared very eerily and very abruptly.
"Stop right there!"
Two figures rushed over at the same time; they were the two guards from the Purple Cloud Palace, and the positions where these two men in black robes appeared were very close to Purple Cloudâs two guards!
"Those who block the way die!"
Both men in black emitted black mist from their bodies, and in an instant, they enveloped Purple Cloudâs two guards.
