The wind rose, the clouds shifted.
Several black lines, like a multitude of agile snakes, attacked.
In the blink of an eye, they had ensnared Lan Ling Nü.
Under the flash of lightning and clap of thunder, a figure in red arrived with lightning speed.
Without the Crimson Blood Saber, she now held the Cloud-Piercing Sword in her hand.
With a swing of the sword, she severed Lan Ling Nü's arm.
That arm had been clutching Duan Xifeng's arm.
Her slender, jade-like hand removed the bloody arm and tossed it aside. Turning, she supported Duan Xifeng.
Duan Xifeng collapsed into her arms, finally seeing clearly who had arrived.
"Qianying, why... why are you here?"
If I hadn't come, your old life would have been lost here.
Gu Qianying, supporting Duan Xifeng, landed steadily. Upon landing, she retracted her sword.
Turning, she used her own demonic power to heal Duan Xifeng's wounds.
Duan Xifeng chuckled at Gu Qianying's words.
"Yes, my sister is the most formidable. With you here, I won't die."
The demonic power spread throughout Duan Xifeng's body, causing him to frown, his entire being feeling as if it were burning.
"Brother, endure it, it will be over soon."
Demonic power is not spiritual energy.
Demonic power is wild and extreme, while spiritual energy is gentle.
They are two extremes.
If it weren't necessary, she wouldn't want her brothers to cultivate demonic power.
But now, she had no time to think further.
In just a moment.
The demonic power in Duan Xifeng's body adapted to his body.
His palm seemed to regain some strength, and the wound on his chest began to heal.
Seeing this, Gu Qianying knew Duan Xifeng would be alright.
She then turned and went to Gu Yefeng's side.
She used the same method to heal Gu Yefeng.
Gu Yefeng was different from Duan Xifeng.
He had no spiritual energy within him.
Not being a cultivator, he would experience great pain when accepting demonic power.
But this was a last resort.
Her brother Gu Yefeng's heart meridian was injured, and if not treated promptly, there would be danger.
Sweat streamed down his face, Gu Yefeng was in immense pain, but even so, he gritted his teeth and endured.
Fortunately, the time spent healing him was brief.
Gu Yefeng could withstand it.
After healing both Gu Yefeng and Duan Xifeng, their complexions had somewhat recovered.
Du Chun, who was tied to the jade pillar, was also rescued by Gu Qianying.
His injuries were also severe.
She also used demonic power to heal Du Chun.
After everything, Du Chun did not wake, but his body had recovered somewhat.
Placing Du Chun in front of Song Wuji.
Gu Qianying looked at Song Wuji.
"Brother, please take care of them."
Song Wuji was also her sworn elder brother, hence why she called him brother.
These words were naturally directed at Song Wuji.
Song Wuji nodded, "Don't worry."
At this moment, Lan Ling Nü, with a severed arm, was entangled by black lines and unable to move.
Blood stained her robes, but due to the black lines, the blood was not visible.
Her face was as pale as paper.
She had lost too much blood.
Gu Qianying slowly walked towards her.
With a flick of her jade sleeve, several black lines dispersed.
Lan Ling Nü fell to the ground.
Meanwhile, Nangong Mo and the old white-haired man within the barrier remained motionless.
As if isolated from the world.
When Gu Qianying approached, she glanced at Nangong Mo within the barrier.
Her own man, she naturally cared for him.
But she also knew that Nangong Mo was currently in cultivation.
Breaking the barrier and forcing him out would be harming him.
Since he was the Lotus Emperor of the Immortal Realm.
Since he wished to be the Lotus Emperor.
Then she would fulfill his wish.
She loved him deeply.
It was precisely because of this that she wished him to do what he loved.
However... this did not mean she would spare the poisonous woman who had harmed her brothers!
Her kin, she would protect. Those who harmed her kin would die!
Walking to Lan Ling Nü, Gu Qianying looked down at her.
"You are my husband's senior sister, and you have some connection with him. I originally did not want to kill you, but you sought death yourself. My two brothers were injured by you, nearly losing their lives. Since you injured them, you must be prepared to pay the price."
Her palm flipped.
The Cloud-Piercing Sword reappeared.
She grasped it in her hand.
Holding the Cloud-Piercing Sword towards Lan Ling Nü, Gu Qianying's gaze was icy.
"Kill me? Haha..."
Lan Ling Nü showed no sign of fear.
Gu Qianying looked at her coldly.
"Gu Qianying... if you kill me, your husband will not forgive you. He is my junior brother. When we cultivated under our master, my junior brother was the kindest to me. Without you, our master intended for us to marry. Your appearance made him change his mind. Your appearance took away... the happiness that originally belonged to me."
"Gu Qianying, you are the wicked woman who stole my happiness!"
Hearing this.
Gu Qianying sneered, "For you to marry, your junior brother must also be willing. If he had feelings for you, even with my appearance, it wouldn't change his heart. Clearly, he never wanted to marry you, or rather, he has no feelings for you."
"How could he marry someone he has no feelings for? Lan Ling Nü... stop your wishful thinking. He is merely your junior brother, but he is my husband, the father of my child. Guess... if I kill you, what will he do?"
"Will he kill me and avenge me, or... will he not care about me, letting me kill you without lifting a finger, hmm?"
She did not believe that the man she loved would stand by another woman.
If that were the case, she would have no reason to continue loving him.
This man would not deserve her love.
However... she knew very well that Nangong Mo was not that kind of person.
Even if she avenged her brothers today, Nangong Mo would not do anything to her.
She had such confidence.
The one she loved most, no matter what she did, support was enough.
This was love to the deepest extent.
Bringing up Nangong Mo could not change Gu Qianying's resolve to kill her.
Lan Ling Nü showed a moment of panic.
But it was only for a moment. She propped herself up on the ground and struggled to rise.
First, she used spiritual energy to stop the bleeding from her severed arm.
Then, she looked at Gu Qianying, "Fine. Let's not speak of my junior brother. Gu Qianying, you can kill me, but I must take a few people down with me."
As she spoke.
Lan Ling Nü clapped her hands in the air.
Following that, an iron cage appeared in mid-air.
The iron cage crashed heavily onto the ground, covered with black cloth.
Lan Ling Nü used her other arm to flick her sleeve.
The black cloth slowly rose and was then tossed onto the ground.
At this moment, Gu Qianying clearly saw the two people inside the iron cage.
One of them, dressed in a red robe, sat on the ground. Below his abdomen was a snake's tail.
His fair face was covered in bloodstains.
He lowered his head, as if asleep, or perhaps unconscious.
The other person, dressed in a green robe, lay in the iron cage, his body covered in bloodstains.
His hand back bore bloody, mangled wounds.
An iron chain was even bound to his foot.
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were closed, his face as pale as paper.
From the moment the two appeared, Gu Qianying recognized them.
Her jade hands clenched tightly, killing intent flared in her eyes...
