Yun Lintian pondered for a long time and could only come up with one solution - he must make a breakthrough first.
He quickly rummaged through his interspatial ring and made a rough calculation. With the aid of abundant Divine Stones and an exceptional environment, it would take him a minimum of ten years to reach the Divine King Realm.
Yun Lintian raised his head to look at Yue Chuntao and said. "We will stay here to practice first. As long as I become a Divine King, there shouldn't be any problem dealing with these people."
Yue Chuntao looked at Yun Lintian in surprise, and a hint of hesitation filled her heart. If they were to stay here for a long time, she didn't know what the situation outside would be like when they went out later. Perhaps the Divine Realm would be reduced to ruins by then.
Meanwhile, Nantian Fengyu was delighted. She had long wanted to stay here and practice. Without hesitation, she closed her eyes and began to absorb the surrounding fire energy.
Yun Lintian set up an isolation formation and threw a bunch of Divine Stones to Nantian Fengyu, allowing her to absorb them more efficiently.
On the outside, two men slowly emerged from the lava. When they appeared, Qin Lu and the others immediately rushed over as if they were facing a mortal enemy.
A middle-aged man dressed in black among the two looked at Qin Lu and spoke."You seem to be living well during this period."
Judging from his aura, the man was obviously on the same level as Qin Lu.
Qin Lu looked at him with a frown. "Why are you here?"
"Why?" The man laughed. "I, Lian Yancong, can go wherever I want. Do you think I have to tell you beforehand?"
Another man beside him glanced at Yun Lintian's tent and said. "Oh? Newcomers?"
A strange light flashed across Xie Zu's eyes as he spoke quickly. "They are indeed newcomers. Be careful, Senior Zhou. One of them is quite powerful."
Qin Lu glanced at Xie Zu with a hint of dissatisfaction. Obviously, Xie Zu wanted to borrow these two people's hands to deal with Yun Lintian's group.
The man, Zhou Wu, was surprised. "Powerful? How powerful is it?"
"At least it should be at the same level as Sister Qin's." Xie Zu replied. "We don't dare to do anything."
Zhou Wu and Lian Yancong exchanged glances before directing their auras towards Yun Lintian's tent.
Yue Chuntao and Yun Lintian had noticed their arrival long ago.
"Stay here." Yue Chuntao said, then reappeared outside the tent.
She glanced at the two and uttered coldly. "Get lost."
Zhou Wu and Lian Yancong were startled. This was probably their first time in many years to have someone speak to them like this.
Zhou Wu stared attentively at Yue Chuntao and said. "Your aura... Are you a member of the Moon God Realm?"
Yue Chuntao raised her hand, and a divine moon image projected behind her. Immediately, the once scorching realm transformed into an icy field, causing everyone to shiver.
The expressions of Zhou Wu and Lian Yangcong changed dramatically. They hastily unleashed their power, but it was too late. A terrifying blue light shooting out of Yue Chuntao's palm had already arrived before them.
BOOM!
Zhou Wu and Lian Yancong were sent flying and crashed heavily onto the frozen lava behind them.
Yue Chuntao appeared before them with her sword.
The world suddenly became incomparably quiet as the blue light on Yue Chuntao's sword surged, becoming several times thicker in an instant.
Yue Chuntao quickly raised her sword, and a deep blue moon projection emerged from the tip of the blade.
The moment the projection took form, Zhou Wu and Lian Yancong became motionless, mirroring the stillness of the surrounding ice field. It felt as if space had been sealed and time had come to a halt.
Qin Lu and the others stared at the scene in astonishment. Everyone felt a chill and fear that went straight into their souls. Especially Xie Zu. He was now shaking uncontrollably, and his face couldn't be any paler than this. Once Yue Chuntao learned what he had done, he would surely face death.
Within the icy world, Yue Chuntao swung her sword, slashing across the bodies of Zhou Wu and Lian Yancong.
Ding!
Time truly seemed to be frozen. There was not the slightest sound remaining. Within everyone's eyes, there was only a stream of blue light radiating from Yue Chuntao's sword.
That stream of light flew across the bodies of Zhou Wu and Lian Yancong, and the blue moon projection immediately shattered, releasing extremely blinding blue-colored rays of light.
Clang!
The moment all the light rays dispersed completely, the top and bottom parts of the bodies of Zhou Wu and Lian Yancong were separated from each other. Then, their bodies collapsed to the ground and shattered into countless ice particles.
Yue Chuntao sheathed her sword and turned to look at Qin Lu and the others. Her eyes were incredibly cold, capable of freezing anyone's soul.
"Ah..." Ji An exclaimed tremblingly. She had never seen such a horrifying scene before. Although Yue Chuntao was strong, it should be impossible for her to defeat opponents at the tenth level of the Divine Emperor Realm like Zhou Wu and Lian Yancong with just two strikes like this.
Thud!
Xie Zu fell to his knees. He clasped his hands together and cried. "Please forgive me, Senior. I was confused for a moment. Please spare my life!"
Yue Chuntao didn't say anything. She despised this type of person the most. Immediately, she pointed her sword at Xie Zu, and a terrifying blue light shot towards him.
Xie Zu's eyes widened in disbelief, but it was too late for him to react. The blue light struck his forehead directly, turning him into a statue of ice. With a loud bang, the figure exploded into countless pieces.
Ji An and the others were terrified. They fell to the ground and began begging. "Please spare us, Senior. We didn't do anything!"
Yue Chuntao turned to look at Qin Lu, who was standing tremblingly, and said. "I will spare you this time since you gave me the map."
With that, her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, the surrounding ice field began to melt, and the space returned to its original state.
Qin Lu took a few deep breaths to calm down and glanced at Ji An and the others. "I hope this serves as a good lesson for all of you."
She turned around and returned to her residence without even giving Ji An and the others a second glance...
