Shi Po was furious.
Below, everyone was eager for action.
They were just waiting for Yan Ruyu's order to rush into the sky and fight this evil star to the death.
If Shi Po didn't regain the initiative soon,
judging by this little one's temperament, she would surely court death.
The plan he had been plotting for thousands of years
couldn't be ruined because of this little thing.
"Then what do you want? Tell this god, and this god can fulfill all your wishes."
Zhao Shuning smiled.
What did she want?
Actually, what she wanted
had always been very simple.
She wanted to be a happy and care - free young lady of the Zhao family.
She wanted to stay by Bu Ran's side all her life, making him laugh and smile, watching his ice - cold face break into a smile.
If possible,
she wanted even more.
She wanted to be with Bu Ran forever.
She wanted to have a small family with him in the future, a child of their own, to be surrounded by relatives, and to live a worry - free life.
However,
none of these things she wanted
could be given to her by anyone.
So,
she could only work hard
to give such a life to those she cared about.
Below, the people had started to form a formation.
When Zhao Shuning looked at Yan Ruyu,
Yan Ruyu's body stiffened.
Her pupils suddenly contracted.
That look just now?
It was wrong.
This was Ning'er.
The consciousness currently in control of this body was Ning'er.
As the crowd formed the formation, the group behind Yan Ruyu exchanged glances.
It was as if they had a telepathic connection.
They looked at each other,
and then,
they formed a line.
They blocked in front of everyone.
Somehow, Ye Xingchen and his group were all holding magical artifacts summoned by powerful spiritual energy in their hands.
However,
it was different from what everyone had expected.
These strange people respected in the Nine Provinces Continent all had quite a reputation on the continent.
They
should have stood on the side of justice
to eliminate this evil star together.
But at this moment,
they actually
pointed the tips of their magical artifacts at everyone.
Tens of thousands of cultivators
were all stunned by this unexpected turn of events.
"Leader Xie, what are you doing?"
"Senior Chu, you?"
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
"—"
Countless questions
came pouring in.
The few of them had no intention of moving.
Xie An said, "All my brothers of Shuiyunsheng, listen up. Today's matter may be unjust, but this poisonous snake will protect the person behind me even if I lose my life."
Shuiyunsheng
was the number one great gang in the world.
They had no idea how much effort Xie An and Ye Xingchen had put in to reach this point.
But today?
"Today, what Xiao An and I are doing is out of our own selfishness. It has nothing to do with Shuiyunsheng. From now on, we are willing to shed our identities as the leader and the military advisor of Shuiyunsheng. The ones who are against you are not Shuiyunsheng, but Xie An and Ye Xingchen."
The members of Shuiyunsheng looked at each other in dismay.
They were all righteous people.
Facing this situation now,
what should they do?
After exchanging glances, the members of Shuiyunsheng all put down their weapons.
The others quickly tried to stop them.
The members of Shuiyunsheng said, "We joined Shuiyunsheng back then because of the leader's righteousness and the military advisor's magnanimity."
"The leader has given us a lot. He saved us from dire straits. They are our benefactors. Now, we don't know what made the leader and the military advisor make such a decision."
"But as long as we are members of Shuiyunsheng, our weapons will never be pointed at our own people."
"Yes, this was the first rule we had to memorize when we joined Shuiyunsheng."
"Among the members, we are like family. We must never draw our swords against each other."
So,
the members of Shuiyunsheng took a few steps back.
They all bowed to everyone in unison.
"Sorry, Shuiyunsheng will not participate in the crusade against the evil star."
Xie An and Ye Xingchen exchanged a smile.
This rule
dated back a long time ago.
When they were still students in Yanyulou, Zhao Shuning founded the earliest Shuiyunsheng. At that time, she had said such words to everyone.
Among the members,
they should trust each other.
They shouldn't, for the so - called righteousness,
point their swords
at their own people.
Now,
this rule was giving Zhao Shuning in the sky quite a headache.
What she wanted
was not this.
The next few people
also stated their positions.
"All in all, if you want to hurt the person behind us, you have to step over our corpses first."
Such a grand display
made Zhao Shuning's heart
uneasy.
At this moment, Shi Po in Zhao Shuning's body,
changed from being nervous to relaxed.
It could feel the little one's nervousness.
"Little one, you're right. Emotions are something no one can control. You probably didn't expect this change before, did you?"
Zhao Shuning angrily said, "Shut up."
"This god really didn't expect that even after you've hurt people, these idiots are still willing to stand by your side. They're all well - known figures on this Nine Provinces Continent. For you, they're even willing to lose the trust of the common people."
Zhao Shuning narrowed her eyes.
It couldn't go on like this.
Sorry.
She stretched out her hands and mobilized her spiritual energy.
Shi Po was greatly shocked.
"What are you doing?"
"Are you still planning to deal with this group of people?"
"Little one, you're crazy!"
"They're all the people you care about!"
However,
these words
were now useless to Zhao Shuning.
If she let them continue like this, her body would sooner or later be occupied by Shi Po. By then, it wouldn't be just a few people dying.
The Nine Provinces Continent would completely turn into a purgatory on earth.
"These are all the children you've raised. Do you really want to kill them?"
Shi Po's voice
was harsh and unpleasant.
Zhao Shuning closed her eyes tightly.
In her hands, a big red flame ignited.
On the flame,
a seal technique was quietly activated.
Her move
was seen by Yan Ruyu,
Zhao Huai,
and everyone else.
Only the few people with their backs to Zhao Shuning didn't know what was going on.
Yan Ruyu looked at Zhao Shuning.
She shook her head.
"Ning'er, don't."
Zhao Shuning slightly parted her red lips.
She looked at Zhao Huai and Yan Ruyu.
Save them.
Although she didn't make a sound,
the two of them could clearly see the shape of her lips.
Before they could react,
the spiritual energy in Zhao Shuning's hands turned into a huge fire dragon and suddenly attacked Ye Xingchen and his group.
The fire dragon swooped down to the ground.
Wherever it passed,
it left a trail of scorched earth.
And its target
was Ye Xingchen and his group.
You should know that
even if the fire dragon didn't hit Ye Xingchen and his group, the powerful spiritual energy would still cause them great trauma.
"Be careful."
Ye Xingchen, Xie An and their group
only felt a heat on their backs.
Immediately afterwards, a searing pain spread through their hearts.
"Zi zi zi zi—"
The sound of their skin being roasted by the fire.
Even their own spiritual energy began to go haywire, emitting a buzzing and chaotic sound.
In just a moment,
their group
all fell to the ground.
Their expressions were full of pain.
They covered their heads with both hands.
Their eyes were bloodshot.
Blood flowed from five of their seven orifices.
