Qin Yun felt reverberations through his heart. He blamed himself for being too late. He hugged Yi Xiao as he cast a Drought Rainfall Spell on her. Quintessential Essence began to enter Yi Xiao's body, shredding through the seals within her body.
Hua!
The Drought Rainfall Spell gathered vital powers and tore into Yi Xiao's face, fusing into her skin. It slowly caused the bloody wounds on her face to heal and shrink. The blood stains were cleaned up by Qin Yun but the wounds remained very hideous. Princess Martial Maple had been cruel with her knife! Yi Xiao watched Qin Yun do everything silently. Seeing the anxiety and pain in his eyes, Yi Xiao felt her heart grow warm.
"Am I very ugly?" Yi Xiao asked Qin Yun as she looked at him.
"Not at all. I'll cast the Drought Rainfall Spell every day. You'll be fine in a few days." Qin Yun said softly. "Yi Xiao, wait here for a moment. I'll avenge you right now!"
On the other side.
The white-haired elder had grabbed Princess Martial Maple and retreated a great distance away. The golden rope had also thrown Yi Caishi to Princess Martial Maple's side.
"Junior Sister Martial Maple, he is the best cultivator in Grand Dominance County, the Azure-token Inspector Heavenly Ambassador, Qin Yun!" The white-haired elder's expression was especially solemn.
"Third Madam, Xiao'er is innocent. Why don't you forget it?" Yi Caishi said immediately.
"Forget it?" Princess Martial Maple scoffed.
And at that moment, Qin Yun whispered to Yi Xiao, "Yi Xiao, wait here for a moment. I'll avenge you right now!"
"He's going to take action."
"Be careful!"
The guards under Princess Martial Maple immediately turned tense.
Qin Yun turned, sweeping his gaze at the group before landing his gaze on the purple-dressed woman standing behind the white-haired elder that was standing far away. She was still holding a knife that was dripping blood. The signs of blood on the knife infuriated Qin Yun even more. If he had been a little later, what would they do to Yi Xiao? It was a horrifying thought!
"Qin Yun, that is the Zhongli family's Princess Martial Maple. She is the daughter of the Zhongli patriarch." Yi Xiao said worriedly. "You have to be calm." She did not want Qin Yun to get into trouble because of her.
"Fellow Daoist Qin!"
The white-haired elder beamed and said immediately, "Shall we forget this matter? Miss Yi Xiao might have suffered some physical pain but she will recover very quickly. Besides, this is a matter between the Yi family and the Zhongli family. Fellow Daoist Qin, there is no need for you to get involved in this matter."
"Where were you bringing Yi Xiao to? If I had not arrived, the atrocities she would face would probably be a lot worse than this," said Qin Yun coldly.
"Can't you stand down?" The white-haired elder knitted his brows. "Qin Yun, are you going to oppose the Zhongli family?"
"Stand down? Hahaha… You want to leave after doing such deeds? Dream on!" Qin Yun's eyes flared with killing intent. "I don't care about any Zhongli family. Today, none of you will leave!"
"Boom!"
The silver flying sword floating in front of him rumbled and instantly transformed into a dazzling beam and brought with it sonorous thunder as it shot forward for the kill.
"Protect the princess!" The five Connate False Core realm guardians mustered the array formation as the golden ropes came flailing over. Qin Yun's Intrinsic Flying Sword completely ignored the golden ropes, allowing for them to reach in front of Qin Yun. Peng! Peng! Peng! A black flying sword immediately used Cyclic Sword Flash in front of Qin Yun, forming a curtain of light that blocked everything.
As for the Intrinsic Flying Sword, it bolted ahead with ease. It repelled the golden ropes that attempted to obstruct it as the array formation was ripped through directly.
"Five Revolutions Seal, ensnare him!"
The five guardians anxiously changed their array formation. The temporary manor that Princess Martial Maple lived in had many array formations. There was a variety of offensive, defensive, concealment, and other arrays.
Instantly, five light streams of different colors swirled around the white-haired elder, Princess Martial Maple, Yi Caishi and the five formation casters.
"This Five Revolutions Seal's defensive strength is extremely powerful. It's absolutely capable of protecting us…" Just as the white-haired elder spoke…
"Boom!!!"
The Intrinsic Flying Sword struck the array as the five-colored streams produced crunching sounds with cracks appearing.
"Princess, the enemy is too strong! We can't last much longer!" The five guardians were panicking in horror.
"What? This is an array formation given to me by Father." Princess Martial Maple said immediately.
"Boom!"
The Intrinsic Flying Sword brought with it formidable might as it struck the five-colored streams once again, causing them to produce another round of crunching sounds. The number of cracks increased several times as the array formation that had long been set up in the manor began to tremble.
"Qin Yun." When Yi Xiao saw this, she was worried that Qin Yun would make a hotheaded act. She said immediately, "She's Princess Martial Maple, after all, the daughter of the Zhongli family's patriarch."
"Did she show you any mercy?" Qin Yun's voice continued reverberating.
Boom!
The Intrinsic Flying Sword pummeled the five-colored streams a third time and finally, they collapsed under the relentless assault. The array artifacts within the manor began to tremble and some were even flung to the side. The array cracked as the golden ropes were immediately retracted one after another. The Connate False Core realm guardians turned pale as they began to feel horrific unease.
They were utterly crushed with the aid of the array formation. Without it? They were only waiting to be slaughtered!
The difference was too great!
"Qin Yun, you are going too far!" The white-haired elder bellowed as he waved his hand. A golden hoop flew out, forming circular binding ripples that wrapped around Qin Yun's flying sword.
With another wave of his hand, shields made up of fish scales flew out.
The white-haired elder held a Dao talisman in hand and instantly it burned by itself.
"Lightning Fire Descent!" As the saying goes, it never rains but it pours. It perfectly described the white-haired elder's actions for he naturally used all his strength. Against an Azure-token Inspect Heavenly Token, how could he dare hold back? After all, he might be at the Connate True Core realm but he had never been invited by the Inspector Heavenly Alliance to be an Inspector Heavenly Ambassador. As for Qin Yun, he was already one.
Boom!
The lightning flames descended from the sky as the Cyclic Sword Flash beneath expanded in size. It warded off the lightning flames and not a single tongue managed to penetrate the Cyclic Sword Flash's interior.
"Just this?" Qin Yun's voice was still resounding.
Boom!
The golden hoop was sent flying!
Layers of fish-scaled shields began peeling off as it was struck by the Intrinsic Flying Sword.
"Quickly leave. Once you are in County Governor Manor, you will be safe. He would not dare to attack County Governor Manor. I'll hold him back for a while." The white-haired elder's expression changed as he urged.
Princess Martial Maple could tell that her senior brother was not Qin Yun's match. She began to panic as she grabbed Yi Caishi's wrist and was about to escape. The five Connate False Core realm guardians also planned on leaving while protecting her.
"Swoosh."
Upon seeing this, Qin Yun waved his hand as the purple flying sword rushed instantly into the sky and hovered above the manor.
"Since I'm not letting any of you leave, none of you will escape!" said Qin Yun.
Princess Martial Maple and the five guardians watched the purple flying sword in midair and did not dare proceed.
"Senior Brother, can't you hold him off? You, you have already entered the Connate True Core realm for decades." Princess Martial Maple whispered.
"Cultivation is not about age. He is an Inspector Heavenly Ambassador while I'm not," replied the elder immediately. If he were an Inspector Heavenly Ambassador, how could he have been a mere guardian of a princess all this while?
"I'm not asking you to defeat him. Can't you protect us while we escape?" Princess Martial Maple turned flustered.
"Boom!"
The shield was finally sent flying after failing to withstand the attacks. With a whisk in hand, the white-haired elder brandished it as large amounts of threads expanded to protect the surroundings. He shouted immediately, "Junior Sister Martial Maple, quickly seek Reverend Immense Sea's help! Of the people in a few hundred miles, only he can hold Qin Yun back."
"Alright!" Princess Martial Maple sought Reverend Immense Sea's help through her communication treasure as she yelled loudly, "Qin Yun, are you really going to make my Zhongli family an enemy?"
"Have you thought of the repercussions of being the Zhongli family's enemy? By involving yourself in this, even your family would be implicated." Princess Martial Maple had no other choice. As she requested for help, she began to make threats.
A fierce glint flashed in Qin Yun's eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Intrinsic Flying Sword struck the whisk's threads thrice in a short amount of time, and the third time was when the threads were completely ripped apart!
"I can't hold him back any longer!" The elder shouted as his expression changed drastically. The threads broke one after another, stressing the remainder threads in his bid to withstand the flying sword, but all he could do was last a little longer.
"You can't touch the princess! You can't touch the princess!" Elder Sun, the hunchbacked elder roared by the side where the five guardians were.
"Who is to save me? Who is to save me?" Princess Martial Maple truly panicked. She thought that her senior brother and guardians would have no problems facilitating an escape against a mere Azure-token Inspector Heavenly Ambassador. However, Qin Yun was too powerful! Her senior brother was unable to withstand him for long and could not even escape.
"He doesn't dare to touch me! He wouldn't dare!" Princess Martial Maple silently consoled herself.
However, when she saw the coldness in the eyes of the youth standing in front of Yi Xiao a distance away, she could not help but lose her confidence.
