Yaohua was at a disadvantage, her body covered in wounds. Xilan stepped forward smugly. "Scream all you want. Even if you scream your throat raw, no one will come to your rescue!"
Taking advantage of this moment, a sudden sword light appeared in Yaohua's hand. Xilan easily dodged it. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the sword light split into sixteen shadows. Amidst the clash of swords and blades, her arms, neck and other parts were all cut.
Yaohua exploded with power in this desperate situation, and the fight ended up with both of them seriously injured.
But after this sword strike, she completely ran out of strength.
"Yaohua!" Chongming wanted to fight the God - Lord, but unfortunately, he was just a wisp of spiritual soul and couldn't defeat the God - Lord at all.
He watched helplessly as Yaohua fell from the sky, while Xilan angrily and proudly whipped out her long whip.
A purple figure appeared, blocking the long whip. It was Tuyang!
Seeing this, the God - Lord's face changed drastically. "What are you doing here?"
Tuyang said calmly, "I just can't stand people using power for personal gain, bullying the weak and repaying kindness with enmity."
These three words didn't specify who they were referring to, but everyone present knew that she was talking about the God - Lord.
The God - Lord's face turned green and then white. He said angrily, "What do you mean?"
Tuyang replied indifferently, "Just what it says."
Taking this opportunity, Chongming quickly broke through the God - Lord's blockade and hugged Yaohua in his arms. "Are you okay?"
Yaohua shook her head. She took out a bottle of pills to replenish spiritual energy from her space, and her wounds instantly healed. "They're just minor injuries. It's okay. The most urgent thing now is to catch Xilan!"
At this moment, realizing that things were going badly, Xilan had quietly left the scene.
Yaohua chased in the direction she left, but she didn't know what kind of demonic skill Xilan had practiced. Her speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
Just when Yaohua was at a loss, the Dianzhu sisters suddenly appeared in front of her.
The two sisters bowed to her and then said anxiously, "Just now, a strong demonic aura headed towards the Cangling Hall. We saw that the demonic aura was very powerful, so we didn't stop it. Instead, we came to report to you immediately."
After Yaohua learned this news, she didn't waste any words and quickly rushed to the Cangling Hall. But she found that everything in the hall was normal, which made her a little strange.
The system said, "There are abnormal demonic aura fluctuations in the third room on the right. Xilan is probably hiding there."
Yaohua came to that room, pushed the door open, and saw Zhao Wu resisting Xilan's attack, being beaten back step by step.
She immediately joined the battle. With her help, the situation reversed. Xilan couldn't defeat the two of them and could only say hatefully, "Bitch, why are you everywhere?"
She dodged and fled. Yaohua chased again, but still lost her.
Not long after, she suddenly felt the jade she was wearing getting hot. The aura of Chongming's spiritual soul in the jade was extremely unstable. He quickly said, "Hurry to the Danxue Mountain. I sense that my main body is in danger."
Yaohua came to the vicinity of the Danxue Mountain. Sure enough, she saw Xilan trying to break the seal that Chongming had set on himself.
She couldn't help but angrily say, "Why are you everywhere?"
Xilan originally wanted to fight with her, but then thought that she had Chongming's help. She secretly hated in her heart. Knowing that she couldn't defeat Yaohua, she left without saying any more nonsense.
In the following days, Xilan repeated the same trick. Relying on her demonic skill that made her extremely fast, she casually shuttled through important places, making it impossible for others to defend and exhausting them.
On this day, Yaohua returned to the Henan Prefecture exhausted. She heard Lu Ran say mysteriously, "Little Princess, a big thing happened today. Guess what?"
When Yaohua saw him, the tense look on her face relaxed a little. "What's going on?"
Lu Ran said with a big smile, "The Wood Blossom Boy has been reborn and is receiving people's greetings."
"The Wood Blossom Boy? Who is that?" Yaohua asked doubtfully.
"He's the attendant of the ancient god, the Purple Ultimate Great Emperor!" Lu Ran explained.
The words "ancient god" touched some bad memories of Yaohua. "Why did he suddenly get reborn? What does he want?"
"The Wood Blossom Boy was reborn because he sensed that there would be a great catastrophe in the world. So he came to warn everyone that they must never let the Heavenly Demon Clan obtain the power of the Nine - Heavens Mysterious Demon." Lu Ran replied.
Yaohua asked him to lead the way. While walking, she learned about the situation. Soon, she saw a little boy with three braids.
The little boy had a very imposing manner all over his body, and his eyes showed a maturity that didn't match his appearance.
Yaohua didn't know his intention, so she decided to wait and see. She bowed and said, "I've come to pay my respects to the Wood Blossom Boy."
The Wood Blossom Boy made a sound from his nostrils. "Hmm, you're the current leader of the Phoenix Clan, aren't you?"
Yaohua nodded. "That's right."
The Wood Blossom Boy waved his hand. "Sit down and listen."
Now the Three Realms were in a mess because of the Heavenly Demon, and the common people were suffering because of the calamity of the Karma Fire.
The appearance of the Wood Blossom Boy temporarily alleviated people's anxiety, but Yaohua knew the conspiracy of the ancient gods. This person probably came with ill intentions.
She had to find a way to fight against him.
"Leader Yaohua, are you listening?"
At this moment, a voice sounded, and everyone's eyes turned to Yaohua.
She suddenly came back to her senses. "I'm listening, I'm listening!"
The Wood Blossom Boy showed dissatisfaction, but didn't say it out loud. Instead, he continued, "In these days, I will personally visit every inch of the land in the Divine Continent, recover the lost mountains and rivers, make the crops thrive. I hope everyone will cooperate."
Everyone naturally agreed.
The Wood Blossom Boy then looked at Yaohua. "I already know what happened a few days ago. To prevent the seal of God Chongming from being broken, I'll have to trouble you to stay by his side these days."
Yaohua nodded, indicating that she accepted this arrangement.
In the following days, the Wood Blossom Boy walked around the Divine Continent, quietly creating momentum for the rebirth of the ancient gods. Soon, all kinds of legends about the ancient gods spread among the people.
For example, if the Agricultural God returned, all crops would yield a thousand catties per mu; if the God of War was reborn, he could easily defeat the Heavenly Demons...
At the same time, statues of the ancient gods were erected in the human world, and the prestige of the God - Lord was further weakened.
Yaohua had been carefully paying attention to his situation. After collecting enough evidence, she called Rong Chu. "Take these evidences and find a way to present them to the God - Lord!"
When the God - Lord saw the statues of the ancient gods in the evidence, he flew into a rage.
"Smack!"
A spiritual bamboo slip was directly smashed to the ground by him.
Tuyang walked in slowly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone. "What's going on this time?"
The God - Lord roared, "Chongming is now sealed. It's okay that he snatched some of my incense to recover. But this Wood Blossom Boy has only been here for a few days, and he dares to blatantly snatch the power of faith. Does he think I'm an easy target?"
