Thinking of this, the two hidden guards exchanged glances and said firmly, "Your Highness Consort, we are under the command of the Prince to protect you and will not leave!"
"Mm! Get up!"
Zilin Ling nodded.
Holding grudges was not her nature.
Qingdian had made a mistake, but these two had done nothing wrong.
Since these two were willing to stay and help her, she saw no reason to push them away.
Even if these two might not be of much help, it was Ye Lingyuan's intention.
Thinking of Ye Lingyuan, a smile curved Zilin Ling's lips.
They had only been apart for a short time, and yet she already missed him a little?
Alas, she was infatuated!
It seemed that Ghost Hand Poison Doctor would truly fall into the hands of this cold-faced prince this time.
Cough, cough, cough...
With a formidable enemy at hand, what was she thinking about?
Zilin Ling shook her head and was about to speak when she heard a rumbling thunder.
Not only she heard it, but everyone else did too.
They all looked up and, upon seeing the dark mass of thunderclouds, were shocked and also a little puzzled.
Tribulation clouds?
How was that possible?
Lightning tribulations, which had not appeared for a thousand years, had actually appeared!
Who was undergoing tribulation?
Everyone's attention was focused on the tribulation clouds in the sky, completely failing to notice that Zilin Ling and the three of Qingdian's expressions had drastically changed.
"Ye Lingyuan!"
Zilin Ling murmured and was about to rush towards the location of the lightning tribulation.
However, the path behind her had already been blocked by the mercenary group. How could she possibly break through?
The fat man's gaze lingered on the tribulation clouds for a moment before refocusing on Zilin Ling.
Therefore, the moment Zilin Ling's spiritual energy fluctuated, the fat man sneered coldly and shouted, "Stop her!"
Although the mercenary group was stunned for a moment, they quickly reacted.
The spiritual energy in their hands began to surge, rushing towards Zilin Ling.
Especially the short, stout Xu Feihu, who had long wanted to take Zilin Ling's life to avenge his severed arm.
Now that the fat man had given the order, he eagerly rushed forward.
At the same time, the fat man's cold shout also brought everyone back to their senses.
Fu Liuyun was alright; although he wanted to snatch Long'er, he did not harbor any intention to kill Zilin Ling.
But Xiong Tai, Li Luo, and Xie Shenghua were different.
They had been so thoroughly tricked by Zilin Ling last time that killing them was no longer their sole objective.
However, they disdained cooperating with these mercenaries and were even more unwilling to expose the matter of the little divine dragon to the fat man and his group.
Therefore, they kept their eyes fixed on Zilin Ling, giving her no chance to escape.
Zilin Ling, who was consumed by anxiety, was enraged!
She couldn't bear to imagine what kind of predicament Ye Lingyuan was facing at this moment!
When Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was enraged, even Yama would tremble.
Zilin Ling let out a cold snort, "Since you are seeking death, I shall grant it!"
As her voice fell, Scorching Flames Everywhere blocked her path.
The mercenaries were charging forward with great vigor and had no idea that a wall of fire would suddenly appear before them.
Therefore, reacting too late, they crashed directly into the wall of fire.
Immediately, cries of agony filled the air.
Zilin Ling had already decided to kill, so how could she merely injure them?
"Scorching Flames Engulfing the Body!"
The second spiritual skill was instantly superimposed. The flames on the wall of fire grew even more powerful. Accompanied by terrified wails, the smell of burnt flesh instantly entered everyone's nostrils.
Zilin Ling, still not satisfied, parted her rosy lips again, "Scorching Flames Tempering the Soul!"
The third move of this set of spiritual skills was immediately unleashed.
A layer of eerie blue flame appeared on the wall of fire, causing people's souls to tremble.
How could these mercenaries withstand such a powerful killing move? Instantly, several more corpses were left behind.
Zilin Ling was like a god of slaughter, her cold gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"Those who block me die!"
Her death-like voice drifted through the air, sending chills down everyone's spines.
Qingdian had also put away her animosity towards Zilin Ling and was quickly reaping the lives of her enemies.
Although she disliked Zilin Ling and wished she could kill her, it was only because she loved Ye Lingyuan too much and did not want anyone to covet him.
Now, upon discovering that Ye Lingyuan was in danger, how could she still have the heart to compete with Zilin Ling for affection?
As for the two hidden guards, they obeyed not only Ye Lingyuan's orders but also Zilin Ling's.
In their eyes, Zilin Ling was the consort acknowledged by their Prince.
Therefore, wherever the consort pointed, they would fight. They would kill anyone who dared to block the consort's path.
Under such circumstances, not only the fat man and the short, stout man, but even Fu Liuyun and the other three felt a chill run down their spines.
Especially Fu Liuyun and the other three, the shock on their faces could no longer be concealed.
Zilin Ling was too powerful at this moment, so powerful that it made them feel a sense of dread.
They could not believe that this woman before them was the same one they had been chasing and fleeing from just over ten days ago.
Such growth speed could only be described by one word – terrifying!
If they had to add one more word, it would be... monstrous!
Yes, a monstrous being! A terrifying, monstrous being! Su Dan Novel Network.
Yet, they had provoked this monstrous being, and for the second time.
The reason they provoked such a genius was simply due to their greed.
What did this imply?
It implied that they had forged an irreconcilable enmity with Zilin Ling.
It implied that their conflict with Zilin Ling was now a matter of life and death.
Therefore, Xiong Tai, Li Luo, Xie Shenghua, and Fu Liuyun, these four individuals who could manipulate the tides in the Tianqi Kingdom, could not help but feel flustered.
The four exchanged glances.
Soon, they reached a consensus – they would go all the way, kill!
Even though Fu Liuyun was unwilling to be enemies with Zilin Ling and Ye Lingyuan, he now had no turning back.
Fierce killing intent surged in their eyes, and they tacitly moved closer to Zilin Ling.
Zilin Ling frowned. She could feel the strong killing intent emanating from the four.
She sneered, "Hmph! Since you are so eager to die, I shall grant your wish!"
Then, she said to Qingdian and the two hidden guards, "You go and help your Prince! Hurry and leave!"
Qingdian was slightly stunned, a hint of surprise unintentionally flashing in her eyes.
It seemed this woman was not entirely useless.
If that were the case, then... she would stay and protect her for once.
"No! You should go first. The Prince ordered me to protect you, and if you don't leave, I can't leave either."
Although Qingdian meant well, she had forgotten that Zilin Ling had easily defeated her.
Zilin Ling looked at her with surprise, then shifted her gaze to the two hidden guards.
The two hidden guards said in unison, "If the Consort does not leave, we do not leave!"
A hint of warmth appeared in Zilin Ling's cold eyes. It seemed that Ye Lingyuan's subordinates were indeed good.
"Since that is the case..."
