The qin was Qing Lai.
Yue'er was the one who made the move.
Since obtaining the Qing Lai Qin and having it recognize her as its master, the little girl had been diligently learning how to use it these past few days.
She never expected her first move would be against someone in the Mortal Immortal Realm, truly a case of the newborn calf fearing no tiger.
The Qing Lai Qin shone with unparalleled brilliance, its runes flowing across its body. The flowers, plants, insects, and fish depicted on it seemed to come alive, and the music it produced sliced through the void, possessing astonishing power.
The Mortal Immortal Realm expert from Floating Sky Mountain felt his scalp tingle, sensing a tremendous threat. Without a word, he turned and fled, utterly disheveled.
However, he was not fast enough. He was struck by the sonic wave, a wound deep enough to expose bone appearing on his body, blood gushing out.
It was a pity that Yue'er's strength was ultimately too weak. Otherwise, a single blow might have been enough to instantly kill him.
"This is a Celestial Spirit Artifact!"
Many people from Floating Sky Mountain's eyes turned green with envy, wishing they could claim the Qing Lai Qin for themselves.
Furthermore, they sensed that the artifact's owner was not of high cultivation, and seizing it should not be a problem.
"To dare use a Celestial Artifact in front of me, you are still too young. It seems Floating Sky Mountain has a great fortune, gaining another Celestial Artifact."
The Sect Master of Floating Sky Mountain was ecstatic, his pupils filled with greedy desire.
He scanned the surroundings with his sharp eyes, his face fierce and menacing. He immediately took out five vibrant small flags and cast them out.
The flags, colorful and dazzling, grew larger in the wind.
In an instant, they formed a Five Elements formation, sealing off all directions and fixing the Qing Lai Qin in the void.
Yue'er felt her connection with the Qing Lai Qin severed by a powerful force. Her face changed drastically; being young, she immediately lost her composure.
"Haha, this celestial qin is mine."
The Sect Master of Floating Sky Mountain laughed triumphantly. His vast spiritual power invaded the Qing Lai Qin, intending to erase Yue'er's imprint.
Just then.
A sword light traversed heaven and earth. A snow-white celestial sword sliced through the void, striking at the five flags.
Boom!
Countless sword energies poured down, bombarding the flags incessantly.
The five flags flickered with runes, their divine light fluctuating. A gap was broken through by the sword energy.
Yue'er seized the opportunity to regain her connection with the Qing Lai Qin and quickly summoned it back.
The Qing Lai Qin hovered above her head, its strings vibrating, celestial spirit energy cascading down to protect her.
"Hmph, a mere Floating Sky Mountain, you dare not touch a single hair of Mr. Ji."
Song Zhenwei appeared, gripping the hilt of his celestial sword, its tip pointing at the Sect Master of Floating Sky Mountain.
Old Song's back was straight, his voice sonorous, and his face flushed with vigor.
This was the first time the celestial sword had allowed him to wield it, and the feeling was simply wonderful.
Moreover, he had heard that if not for the Tang family's interference, he would have become the Dean of the Southern Domain's Number One Academy. Hence, his posture was high, exuding an aura of looking down on all.
Another Celestial Artifact appeared, immediately drawing gasps of amazement from the crowd.
The Sect Master of Floating Sky Mountain's eyes widened. He felt incredibly lucky to encounter another Celestial Artifact, and one that had clearly not recognized a master.
This meant that as long as Song Zhenwei was eliminated, this celestial sword would belong to Floating Sky Mountain.
"It seems today is a lucky day for Floating Sky Mountain. Once we obtain these two Celestial Artifacts, Floating Sky Mountain's unification of the Western Domain will be within reach."
The Sect Master of Floating Sky Mountain laughed excitedly, his mouth splitting into a grin that reached his ears.
"Awooo..."
A wolf's howl echoed.
On the distant horizon, a line of silvery-white figures appeared – a large pack of swiftly running Moon Howling Silver Wolves.
Leading them were Yao Weiwei and Hua Tianxiang.
They shouted loudly, "Tianxiang Wolf Cavalry Legion, we swear to protect Mr. Ji to the death!"
Over a thousand Moon Howling Silver Wolves roared in unison, their vast demonic energy surging towards the heavens, their might awe-inspiring!
Compared to before, the Tianxiang Wolf Cavalry Legion had become countless times stronger. Previously, they didn't even have a single Demon Emperor, but now they had over twenty Demon Emperors, and Yao Weiwei had one foot already in the Mortal Immortal Realm.
"Heh, another group coming to their deaths. It just so happens I need a wolf fur cloak. Today, the Moon Howling Silver Wolf tribe will be completely exterminated."
The Sect Master of Floating Sky Mountain snorted coldly, not taking the Tianxiang Wolf Cavalry Legion seriously.
The fur of the Moon Howling Silver Wolves was extremely precious, and he could make a fortune from it.
Many people were filled with doubt. The Tianxiang Wolf Cavalry Legion was a name everyone had heard of, but wasn't it part of the Great Qin Dynasty? Why were they here to protect Ji Mo?
Then, many recalled the legendary life of Emperor Ying Tianbao of Great Qin, who also had a high-ranking expert surnamed Ji standing behind him.
Could that person be Ji Mo?
"Ah..."
Screams suddenly erupted.
In the sky, blood splattered. Several Demon Emperors from Floating Sky Mountain let out deathly cries, crashing heavily onto the ground.
In the void, a black rose quietly bloomed.
"Hunting time."
Black Rose was still clad in a form-fitting black leather suit, her figure flawless.
She held azure daggers in both hands, like a beautiful goddess of death walking the mortal realm.
The daggers were swift as the wind, effortlessly reaping the lives of Floating Sky Mountain disciples. Black Rose's figure transformed into a ball of starlight, flickering erratically, her speed astonishing.
Very few could even see how she attacked; it was almost traceless as she easily slit the throats of Floating Sky Mountain disciples.
Having awakened the Star Radiance Sacred Body, Black Rose's combat power was truly astonishing. She moved as if no one were present, reaping several lives from the periphery.
Two elders from Floating Sky Mountain reacted swiftly, pouncing together, intending to kill this audacious assassin leader on the spot.
Black Rose's figure flickered continuously, like the stars in the sky, beginning to withdraw.
However, a hint of meaningful coldness flowed in her eyes.
"Still trying to escape? Die."
The two elders blocked Black Rose's path, one in front and one behind, about to strike.
Suddenly.
An astonishing fist intent surged, tearing a terrifying rift in the void, as if the sky had been broken open.
Wu Xiaoxiao, hidden in the shadows, decisively launched a long-range attack, unleashing the Wu Clan's strongest boxing ultimate skill: One Fist Breaks the Heavens!
The destructive power of this punch was terrifying, emitting a deafening sonic boom. It accurately struck one of the Floating Sky Mountain elders.
That elder was heavily wounded, half of his chest caved in, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
Black Rose was about to deliver a finishing blow, but another Floating Sky Mountain elder reacted quickly, shielding his companion and rapidly retreating into the Floating Sky Mountain formation.
"A pity, we were just a little short of killing a Mortal Immortal Realm expert!"
Black Rose sighed and returned to Wu Xiaoxiao's side.
They had intended to cooperate to kill a Floating Sky Mountain elder, but their luck was slightly off.
Many from Floating Sky Mountain were shocked. The real battle hadn't even truly begun, and their side had already lost several Spirit Emperors, with a first-level Mortal Immortal Realm elder heavily injured!
Behind Black Rose, dozens of dark figures appeared.
These were the most formidable assassins of the Asura Hall, now glaring menacingly at the great demons of Floating Sky Mountain, their killing intent palpable.
Immediately, these dark figures slowly disappeared, clearly concealing themselves, waiting for opportunities for assassination.
"A mere Asura Hall dares to oppose my Floating Sky Mountain. I swear, after today, I will uproot the entire Asura Hall."
The Sect Master of Floating Sky Mountain gritted his teeth.
Then, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked towards the distance with extreme vigilance.
