The Jieling shifted its gaze away from Lord Qin and spoke, "Is there anyone else who wants to leave? If not..."
"Just a moment!"
At that moment, Lord Qin suddenly interrupted, squinting and smiling as he asked, "You are the Jieling of the Observation Realm, aren't you?"
The others looked at Lord Qin in astonishment. What was he up to?
They noticed that Lord Qin's expression seemed off, his eyes gleaming mischievously like a cat eyeing a mouse.
Yang Jian hoisted the Trident of the War God onto his shoulder, clearly indicating his readiness for battle.
"Yes!" The Jieling's tone remained indifferent, as if devoid of emotions or intelligence.
"Yang Jian, destroy it!" Lord Qin commanded coldly, causing an uproar among the onlookers.
Destroy the Jieling of the Observation Realm? Wasn't Lord Qin afraid of offending the Temple?
The Temple was a transcendent existence that reigned over dozens of realms. Offending the Temple could lead to the destruction of the Southern Domain.
With a cold sneer, Yang Jian lunged towards the Jieling at an incredible speed, catching the attendees off guard. The gust of wind he stirred up on the steps resembled a dust storm.
Whoosh!
Yang Jian pierced the Jieling with his spear, but it quickly reverted to its original form as if it were made of gas.
The Jieling's massive face contorted into a menacing expression, and it emitted a piercing scream that seemed to penetrate the soul:
"Ahhhh!"
Lord Qin's eardrums felt like they were about to burst. He quickly covered his ears, and in that instant, the entire world seemed to spin. Not only him, but all the attendees, over two hundred people, collapsed to the ground, clutching their heads and wailing.
Jin Chanzi swiftly shielded Lord Qin, emitting a radiant and sacred light that instantly alleviated his discomfort. As he lowered his hands, blood trickled from his palms.
Infuriated, Lord Qin exclaimed, "Yang Jian, end this quickly!"
Yang Jian opened his Divine Eye of Exorcism, preparing to vanquish the Jieling.
At that moment, the Jieling suddenly twisted and transformed into a shadowy figure, shrouded in black mist, its true form indiscernible.
"I have informed the Lord, you will all await your doom!" The Jieling's voice turned shrill and petulant, like that of a vengeful child, sending shivers down everyone's spine.
Yang Jian furrowed his brow and immediately unleashed his power, transforming into a golden light and confronting the Jieling. His Divine Eye of Exorcism emitted a blinding light, forcing the Jieling to scream in agony, its voice chilling and haunting.
Lord Qin felt a chill run down his spine. How could the Jieling be so enigmatic? Although it possessed mysterious abilities, its combat prowess seemed lacking, especially in the face of Yang Jian.
Soon, the Jieling was overwhelmed by the power of Yang Jian's Divine Eye of Exorcism.
Silence!
All the attendees, including the geniuses from the Southern Domain, were stunned. Lord Qin's men had killed the Jieling?
Had they gone mad?
An Ran wore a mournful expression, lamenting, "It's over, it's over..."
Through the Observation Assembly, they had learned of the terror of the Temple, an entity they dared not provoke. Was Lord Qin intending to become mortal enemies with the Temple?
"Yang Jian, can you send them away!" Lord Qin pointed at the geniuses from the Southern Domain and asked. Upon hearing this, Yang Jian nodded and, with a wave of his hand, created a spatial rift, dragging the geniuses and tossing them into it amid their cries of astonishment.
This scene left the geniuses from other realms dumbfounded.
Could it be that Lord Qin had come to the Observation Assembly to cause trouble? He had brought a superpower capable of tearing through the fabric of space and time.
Lord Qin and Jin Chanzi quickly took flight, preparing to escape.
At that moment, a vast and terrifying pressure, akin to a divine might, descended from the heavens, causing everyone to prostrate themselves. Lord Qin nearly stumbled, but Jin Chanzi caught him in time.
Yang Jian's expression changed, and he looked up with trepidation, witnessing a majestic figure descending like a purple streak. The speed was so fast that it caused Yang Jian's pupils to contract.
Without hesitation, Yang Jian raised his sword to strike upwards.
Countless sword energies surged forth, but they were forcibly dispersed by the figure.
Lord Qin watched in horror. Had the mighty one disregarded Yang Jian's attack?
Damn it!
Had a powerful being intervened?
Yang Jian transformed into a golden light and swiftly arrived in front of Lord Qin, tearing open a spatial rift and hastily pulling Lord Qin and Jin Chanzi inside.
"Trying to escape? Dream on!"
As Lord Qin plunged into the rift, a voice, as imposing as a deity's, resounded in his ears. In that instant, he felt a terrifying pressure from all directions, causing him to slip into a state of confusion and pain.
The figure in purple streaked across the sky and, looking down at the spatial rift, revealed a disdainful expression.
Dressed in a robust dragon-patterned purple robe, with white hair tied up under a jade crown, the figure exuded a unique charm despite not having a handsome appearance. His entire being exuded an aura of disdain for all living beings.
"Let you all perish in the fabric of time and space!" The man in purple sneered, about to raise his hand, when suddenly, the Black Butterfly Fairy appeared in front of the spatial rift.
"Stop!" The Black Butterfly Fairy frowned and coldly commanded, her voice carrying a hint of anger.
Upon seeing the Black Butterfly Fairy, the man in purple instantly softened his expression. He spoke in a deep voice, "Black Butterfly, why do you obstruct me?"
Upon receiving the Jieling's message, he had rushed over, but even with his divine powers, he was too late. With the death of the Jieling, all the restrictions of the Observation Realm would be lifted.
Once those prisoners escaped, it would be a disaster.
As the lord of the temple, how could he not be angry?
That's right, he is the lord of the temple, with the title of God Wujī.
"Let them go!" The Black Butterfly Fairy said in a deep voice. She knew she couldn't stop God Wujī, but if she could delay him for a while, Qin Jun could escape.
Once Qin Jun fell into the hands of God Wujī, the wheel of fate would inevitably be exposed, and the outcome for Qin Jun would be tragic.
"Impossible!" God Wujī exclaimed. Even though he was infatuated with the Black Butterfly Fairy, he would not allow her to interfere in important matters.
"Are you challenging me to a battle?" The Black Butterfly Fairy narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice.
This made God Wujī tremble with anger.
The Black Butterfly Fairy continued, "God Wujī, don't forget, who helped you establish the temple in the first place. You still owe me a favor, and I'm calling it in now!"
The attendees lying on the ground were stunned to hear this. Establish the temple?
Suddenly, God Wujī waved his hand, causing everyone to fall into a deep slumber.
He gritted his teeth, "It's been twenty thousand years, why are you using this favor now? Who are they, after all?"
God Wujī's mood was terrible because he couldn't sense the presence of the seventeen star officials. Could it be that they had already met with misfortune?
At the thought of this, God Wujī's heart sank, especially with the attitude of the Black Butterfly Fairy, which drove him crazy.
"I want you to let them go and not investigate this matter!" The Black Butterfly Fairy said softly, her eyes fixed on God Wujī.
As their eyes met, both of them fell silent.
