The spiritual arts thrown by the men in black were instantly blocked by this water curtain, unable to advance an inch.
However, the energy of the water curtain was limited. After several rounds of attacks from the men in black, the water curtain was directly scattered by those spiritual arts.
"Finally, it's getting interesting!"
Zi Linling's fighting spirit surged in her eyes.
"Sword of Fire!"
She let out a soft cry, and her fire spiritual power instantly condensed into short swords, slashing towards those spiritual arts.
The collision of spiritual arts and spiritual arts generated energy fluctuations that made people's ears ring constantly.
Zi Linling's current strength was already equivalent to that of a Saint King realm powerhouse, and her divine consciousness was even more immense, surpassing that of an Emperor realm powerhouse.
Therefore, although she was distracted by controlling "Wildfire," she still held her ground in the spiritual arts' clash.
Not only that, but she also took the opportunity to kill several more men in black.
The men in black grew more fearful with each passing moment.
Although they were prepared to die, they felt as if they were facing an insurmountable mountain.
Even with all their might, they couldn't find a glimmer of hope.
But Zi Linling grew braver with each battle.
Although her white robes were stained, it did not affect her state of mind.
Images flashed through her mind.
At the same time, her aura continued to solidify.
By the time only one man in black remained, her previously unstable aura had completely stabilized.
The remaining man in black trembled, looking at Zi Linling as if she were a demon from the abyss.
He fell to his knees with a thud, begging, "Please, don't kill me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die..."
Zi Linling looked at the sprawled corpses on the ground, her eyes hardening with a chilling intensity.
In this world, the strong preyed on the weak.
Therefore, those who kill will be killed.
Thus, she would not regret, nor feel guilty.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it, so you might as well die!"
As Zi Linling spoke, her surgical knife severed the man's throat.
She was not a saint, so she naturally wouldn't be soft-hearted.
The moment these people came to ambush Ye Lingyuan, their deaths were sealed.
When these people harbored murderous intent towards Mu Qingyan and others, and yet refused to submit to her, they had already forfeited their chance to live.
That's right! She was fiercely protective, and her protection was extremely overbearing! Overbearing to the point that she wouldn't tolerate anyone bullying those she cared about!
She turned and walked towards Ye Lingyuan, and the wall of fire automatically parted to make way for her.
After she walked out, the corpses on the ground were burned to ashes, and were blown away by the wind, leaving no trace.
Only the pockmarked ground and the turbulent spiritual energy in the air hinted that a battle had taken place here.
Ye Lingyuan watched her approach him, the corners of his lips curling upwards.
Zi Linling looked at Ye Lingyuan, whose smile was charming, and the cold intensity in her eyes instantly vanished without a trace.
A smile as beautiful as a flower bloomed on her face, more radiant than the sun.
At this moment, who could associate her with the cold, merciless killing god from moments ago?
"Lin'er, you've worked hard!"
Ye Lingyuan extended his hand, his voice seductive and gentle.
Zi Linling understood and placed her slender fingers in his palm, saying, "Then how will you reward me?"
Ye Lingyuan clasped her soft hand and smiled, "A single night of spring, how about it?"
Zi Linling lightly lifted his chin with her slender fingers and chuckled, "The three-month deadline hasn't arrived yet, you still need to put in more effort!"
"Cough cough!"
Mu Qingyan awkwardly cleared his throat and said, "Thank you, Consort!"
"Thank you, Consort!"
Qingfeng, Qingyu, Qinglei, Qingdian, and the Shuba secret guards all bowed.
Because, while Zi Linling was battling the men in black, their prince had already told them that Zi Linling was helping them vent their anger.
Zi Linling blinked and looked at Ye Lingyuan.
Ye Lingyuan smiled and nodded.
He did this naturally to win hearts for his Lin'er.
After all, Zi Linling would eventually marry into the冥王府 (Ming Wang Fu - Prince of Hell's Mansion).
Zi Linling helplessly shook her head and said, "Everyone, please rise, there's no need for this!"
Everyone thanked her and rose.
"Let's go! We've already wasted so much time!"
Zi Linling said with a smile.
Ye Lingyuan shook his head and said, "Let Qingyan escort you back first. I still have some matters to attend to."
"Oh?"
Zi Linling's dark eyes fixed on Ye Lingyuan, asking, "Is it very important?"
Ye Lingyuan nodded, "Very important!"
"Then alright! I'll leave first. There's no need to trouble General Mu to escort me, I can go by myself!"
Zi Linling smiled charmingly.
With her current strength, there was no one within the Tianqi Kingdom who could threaten her.
Since Ye Lingyuan didn't explain, she didn't ask.
"Are you sure?" Ye Lingyuan asked, staring into her dark eyes.
Zi Linling nodded, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you at the Zi Manor!"
"Then alright! I'll come back to find you after I'm done."
Ye Lingyuan thought for a moment and agreed.
"Yes, I'm leaving now!"
Zi Linling smiled, withdrew her hand, and turned to leave.
She had been out for more than twenty days, and it was time to quickly resolve matters at the Zi Manor.
Ye Lingyuan watched her walk away until she was far in the distance, then he said to Qingdian, "Qingdian, take two people and follow her. Protect her well."
Although Qingdian was reluctant, he dared not disobey Ye Lingyuan's orders.
"Yes, Your Highness, your subordinate will go now!"
He responded and then led two secret guards, chasing in the direction Zi Linling had left.
Ye Lingyuan finally withdrew his gaze and said to the remaining people, "Retreat thirty feet back!"
Everyone complied.
Ye Lingyuan sneered at the sky and said, "Come on!"
Then, he unleashed his cultivation.
Earlier, when Ye Lingyuan had used his domain power, he had sensed a hint of heavenly might.
Then, two words appeared in his mind – "Thunder Tribulation!"
The Tianyuan Continent no longer had chaotic purple energy, so the Saint King realm was the limit.
Now that Ye Lingyuan had broken this limit, he naturally attracted a thunder tribulation.
It was only because the Ghostly Altar had isolated the Heavenly Dao's aura that he had not detected anything unusual.
After coming out, Ye Lingyuan had also deliberately hidden his cultivation, so he had not been locked onto by the Heavenly Dao's aura.
It wasn't until he used his domain power that the Heavenly Dao's aura locked onto him.
In other words, without passing the thunder tribulation, his power could not be used.
Therefore, he decided to face the tribulation!
As he unleashed his full aura, a tribulation cloud instantly appeared in the sky.
"Master, you're crazy! The probability of failure when facing the tribulation without any preparation is very high."
The冥王印 (Ming Wang Yin - Prince of Hell's Seal) felt the aura of the heavenly lightning and became anxious.
"It's fine! This small thunder tribulation can't stop this King!"
The smile on Ye Lingyuan's lips carried a hint of coldness.
"Master, do you know that you are about to face a double thunder tribulation today!"
