The situation came to a standstill for a moment. Everyone held their breath, their eyes focused on Li Yu, waiting for her decision.

At this time, Lu Xuanxin gently tugged at Zi Huang's clothes, signaling him that it was time to go on stage. She thought to herself that if she didn't take action, Li Yu might really let the man in black go, and Murong Wanqing was so vicious, she couldn't let such a person take power.

Zihuang took advantage of the opportunity and said, "I'll do it if you kiss me." A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with a teasing light.

Lu Xuanxin was so angry that she pulled his ear and growled, "What are you doing! Don't forget that you are my servant! Get out if you don't want to!" There was a bit of anger and helplessness in her voice.

Zi Huang pretended to cry out in pain, and Lu Xuanxin had no choice but to hug his waist and jump lightly to Li Yu's side.

"Oh, it's so lively, I want to join in too." Lu Xuanxin said to everyone with a smile on her face. She waved her hand, signaling everyone to watch her performance. She looked so confident, as if everything was under control.

When Duanmu Lingfei saw Lu Xuanxin appear, his face changed drastically. He glared at her and Zihuang with gritted teeth and cursed: "Lu Xuanxin, why are you so impatient? You threw yourself into Lan's arms on the street before, and now you're finding a new love? How shameless! Fortunately, we haven't gotten married yet. A fickle woman like you is not worthy of entering our royal family!" His voice was full of anger and disdain.

Before Lu Xuanxin could say anything, Zi Huang flashed away, and Duanmu Lingfei flew out as if he was hit by a cannonball, and fell heavily to the ground, his life or death unknown.

The black-robed man was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw this. This person is even more powerful than Li Yu! He kept muttering in his heart, when did Jingjiang Country hide so many masters?

His eyes darted around, and he tightly grasped the Explosive Spirit Orb, trying to get closer to Lu Xuanxin. His intuition told him that as long as he caught this woman, he would be able to escape.

"Looking for death!" Zi Huang said coldly, and then the man in black found that he couldn't move. A gloomy and terrifying voice sounded in his mind, with a pressure like a mountain, and the air was distorted by it. He madly used his spiritual power, but he couldn't break free at all. The black robe was already wet, all covered with cold sweat.

He looked at Zihuang in horror, wondering who this person was and why he was so scary.

Duanmu Zhengqing was also surprised by Zihuang's speed. He wondered if there was someone behind Zihuang's appearance. He looked at Lu Xuanxin with a complicated look. Wasn't this woman a waste before? How come she is so beautiful now, and has such a good temperament? And judging from the way she and Zihuang are, it's obvious that they have been watching the show for a long time.

He thought of his broken engagement and couldn't help but wonder, was it because of this man? He had to admit that this man was much better than his son.

He narrowed his eyes and lowered his eyelids, feeling mixed emotions. He felt regretful and helpless, and the complex emotions intertwined into an airtight web in his heart.

Li Yu saw that although Lu Xuanxin did not feel the pressure, she knew from the look of the man in black robe that Zi Huang was not easy to mess with, so she felt relieved. She looked at Lu Xuanxin gratefully, secretly glad to have such a powerful ally.

Murong Wanqing and the others also came to their senses at this time. They looked at Zihuang in horror and ran to Duanmu Lingfei screaming, completely disregarding their own manners: "Jin'er! What's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother!" Her voice was filled with tears, which made her sound particularly desolate.

Lu Xuanxin said to Li Yu with a smile, and then heard Murong Wanqing's cry, and asked Zi Huang curiously: "Did you kill him?" There was a bit of indifference in her tone, as if she didn't care about Duanmu Lingfei's life or death.

Zihuang said unhappily, "Are you feeling sad?" There was a hint of jealousy and dissatisfaction in his voice.

Lu Xuan was puzzled. She just asked casually, why did Zi Huang react so strongly? She didn't take it seriously. She walked up to the black-robed man, ignored his cold eyes, and took the Explosive Spirit Orb. Then she used her spiritual power and kicked the black-robed man in the vitals. Her movements were clean and neat, without any hesitation.

"Pah!" A crisp sound, like thunder in the summer afternoon, suddenly exploded, shaking the hearts of the people around. The sound was like an egg being cracked, with a determination and strength that could not be ignored. The people around shuddered with fear, especially the men, whose faces instantly became uglier than constipation, and their legs unconsciously clamped together, as if they had been deprived of the courage to stand, and they took several steps back in fear, as if there was a flood or a beast chasing them from behind.

How could this woman still be the useless person that people said she was? She stood there, exuding an aura that could not be ignored. She was completely different! Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she exuded an inviolable majesty. She was completely different from the image that was bullied at will before.

If anyone had doubted the rumors of her bravery on the street before, they were all dispelled by the scene before their eyes. Every movement she made revealed a kind of strength and determination, making it impossible for people to associate her with the word "waste".

"Ouch!" A scream cut through the sky. The guy in the black robe struggled to break free from the restraints in pain, covering his lower body with both hands, his facial features twisted together, the scream was almost piercing the eardrum, tears and snot were all over his face, his face looked as ugly as pig liver. He rolled on the ground and wailed, his face twisted like a ghost, staring at Lu Xuanxin, cursing Murong Wanqing in his heart. If it weren't for her, how could he have ended up like this?

The anger in Lu Xuanxin's heart was like a flame poured with oil, burning fiercely. She thought of the kind face of the nanny, and the gentle eyes that were always full of love and care, but now she was killed by someone. The grief in her heart turned into anger, and she kicked the black-robed man one after another, as if she wanted to pour out all her resentment. When she wanted to kick again, she was stopped by Zihuang with a serious face. Zihuang's eyes were both reproachful and worried. She gently hugged Lu Xuanxin, trying to calm her excited emotions.

"Let me go! I want to avenge Madam!" Lu Xuanxin struggled to break free from Zihuang's hand, but she held her tighter, as if she wanted to pass all her warmth and strength to her. A trace of determination flashed in Zihuang's eyes, and she said to Old Lady Li lightly: "I leave this person to you." Then she hugged Lu Xuanxin and quickly left the scene, leaving behind a scene of chaos and astonishment.

Murong Wanqing had just resuscitated Duanmu Lingfei when she saw this scene. Her face changed drastically. She didn't understand how the good situation turned out like this? Her only support, the man in black robe, was just destroyed like this? Her heart was filled with resentment and anger, but more of it was fear. She knew she had no way out and could only bite the bullet and continue.

No, it's not over yet, she still has hostages in her hands! Thinking of this, she quickly returned to the team and shouted at Duanmu Zhengqing in a rage: "Hurry up and write the abdication edict and pass the throne to Jin'er, otherwise I will kill your child!" Her voice was full of threats and despair, as if she had walked to the edge of a cliff.

Ancestor Duanmu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He had never seen such a rebellious person. He approached Murong Wanqing and others with a menacing momentum and said coldly: "My Duanmu family has been established for more than 600 years, and I have never seen traitors like you! Today, you all must die!" His voice was like ice, revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Wrong! You are the ones who will die!" A cold voice suddenly sounded, like a call from hell. A dark figure jumped out from the crowd of the Murong family. Her voice was as hoarse as an old woman. She was thin and staggering when she walked, but her aura was very scary, comparable to that of the ancestor Duanmu. Her appearance made the already tense atmosphere even more depressing, as if even the air had solidified.

"Who are you?" Patriarch Duanmu frowned and stared at her, unconsciously taking two steps back. He had an ominous premonition in his heart, as if the appearance of this old woman indicated that something terrible was about to happen.

"You don't need to know my name, just know that I'm here to send you off." The old woman's voice was low and hoarse, making people feel creepy. Her eyes revealed a kind of madness and determination, as if she was ready to be enemies with everyone.

Old Mrs. Li also felt something was wrong. She frowned, twitched her nose slightly, and suddenly shouted, "Hold your breath! It's poisonous!" There was a hint of anxiety and tension in her voice, as if she had already sensed the impending disaster.

Everyone panicked when they heard this, and quickly released their spiritual power to build a barrier to resist the poison gas. But soon someone exclaimed: "My spiritual power!" It turned out that the barrier was eroded by the poison and disappeared without a trace in an instant, and they also became weak and powerless. The feeling of powerlessness surged like a tide, making them feel unprecedented fear and despair.

"This poison can restrain spiritual power!" Xie Wanchun was horrified to find that even if she was a Nine Star Spiritual Sect cultivator, she could not resist the attack of this poison. Her face turned as pale as paper, and her eyes revealed a deep sense of powerlessness. She knew that she was in a desperate situation.

The old woman laughed triumphantly when she saw this scene: "Haha... It's too late! How much spiritual power do you have left after being poisoned by the Soul Devouring Powder? Just wait for death!" Her laughter was like the devil's voice from hell, chilling people's hearts. She knew that she had the power of life and death over everyone, and the feeling of being in control of everything made her feel extremely excited and satisfied.

Soon, everyone present fell to the ground. Losing all spiritual power was more painful than death for a cultivator. They lay on the ground, watching their lives slip away bit by bit, but they were powerless. Only a few people were still struggling, but their eyes also revealed a deep despair and helplessness.

Seeing this, Murong Wanqing and others quickly dispersed and surrounded Duanmu Zhengqing and the generals who were poisoned and unable to resist. But only Old Lady Li was safe and sound. Her cultivation in the Spiritual Pill Realm made this poison powerless against her. She stood there, like an unshakable mountain, guarding the last hope and dignity.

But she did not act immediately, but watched the old woman coldly. Her eyes revealed a deep indifference and disdain, as if she had already put life and death aside. The old woman also noticed the gaze of Old Lady Li, and she let out a soft "eh", secretly surprised in her heart. She was only at the Spiritual Realm. The poison made by the three-star poison refiner could only be effective against the Spiritual Sect at most. People at the Spiritual Realm were immune to it, not to mention that Old Lady Li was at the Spiritual Pill Realm?

"You are a newcomer to the Spiritual Pill Realm, right? Your spiritual power is still unstable, and I wonder how much strength you can exert? Let me give it a try." After the old woman said this, she kicked her feet, and a large net appeared on the ground. She rushed towards Old Lady Li like an arrow from a bow, and a poisonous whip covered with thorns appeared in her hand. Her movements were swift and agile, as if she was ready to fight Old Lady Li to the death.

Although poison is ineffective against Old Lady Li, if she were to injure him, the poison would enter his blood and cause big trouble. However, Old Lady Li calmly drew out a green long sword and looked coldly at the old woman rushing towards her. In her eyes, the old woman's movements were like slow motion. It took her several breaths to rush in front of her, and her long sword was already unsheathed.

"Buzz!" The sword flashed like lightning, going straight to the old woman's vitals. The old woman was terrified and tried to dodge, but the sword light followed her like a shadow, chasing her closely. An unprecedented fear and despair surged in her heart, as if she had seen her own end.

"Ah!" The old woman screamed wildly, exerting all her spiritual power and barely dodged the fatal blow. But the sword still cut off her poison whip, chopped off her right arm, and finally pierced deeply into the ground, leaving a deep gully. If she hadn't tried her best to dodge, I'm afraid she would have been beheaded by now. The old woman looked at Old Lady Li in shock and vigilance, and she realized how ridiculous her previous thoughts were. The Lingdan realm, even if it was a newcomer, was not something she could contend with.

After missing the target, the old woman made a prompt decision and turned around to flee outside the palace. Old Lady Li did not chase after her. Although others wanted to chase after her, they did not dare to act rashly. They knew that the situation today had changed dramatically and everything had become unpredictable.
