CHAPTER 1547: CHAPTER 1506 SAVE ME

The battle continues.

Kong Yuanliang wielded the Wordless Book to confront the Integration Realm experts from the Small World alongside Nalan Xuan and others. Although Situ Qinghuan and Xiu Niang’s combat capabilities were only at the Nascent Soul Realm, with the support of Nalan Xuan and Kong Yuanliang fighting two at once, they could barely entangle one person.

Old Master Situ faced off against the Bull-nosed Taoist. Even though he had the advantage from the start, a battle of the Integration Realm could not be resolved quickly. Furthermore, the Taoist held numerous Magic Artifacts, making it difficult for Old Master Situ to divert attention to assist the Tower Spirit.

Although the Immortal Domain Ancestor’s strength was slightly weaker than Old Master Situ’s, he managed to hold his ground against Han Qian, even if he couldn’t win, he could keep him occupied.

Thousand Faces and the monk were locked in a seesaw battle.

The monk, with his Immovable Ming King Dharma Form, rendered Thousand Faces’ attacks almost ineffective, but similarly, the monk had no time to counterattack Thousand Faces.

The only duel able to quickly determine a winner was likely between Yun Yan and Huo Ling’er.

Yun Yan felt guilty, and her Soul Capturing and Snatching technique posed little threat to Huo Ling’er, whose Sea of Consciousness was protected by Samadhi True Fire. On the contrary, the Samadhi True Fire was Yun Yan’s nemesis, capable of burning her flesh and even harming her proud Divine Soul.

"This is sheer madness. You and I are both from the Demon Tribe; how can we kill each other for a human!"

"Lu Chuan helped me, rescuing the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan from a cage with no future. I promised him I would stop you!"

"But Lu Chuan doesn’t stand a chance! He and that broken tower could never be a match for Empress Wu Zong!"

"So what? Who says I have to side with the winner?"

"If we lose, what meaning is left in all this?"

Yun Yan launched a palm strike, forcing Huo Ling’er back, hysterically shouting, "I’ve been imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Pagoda for over a millennium; I’ve had enough of that sunless place. I must win. I absolutely cannot lose!"

"Is that the reason you chose betrayal? You see the outcome now, don’t you? If you hadn’t betrayed, sided against Lu Chuan, he would have had a chance to win. You had a choice; you were just afraid to make one."

If Yun Yan had stayed, with two more Integration Realm powers emerging from nowhere, it would have provided a decisive advantage on any battlefield, quickly resolving the Small World Integration Realm experts and freeing up high-level combat power to confront Empress Wu Zong.

Yet Lu Chuan, despite all his calculations, never anticipated Yun Yan’s choice of betrayal.

"Shut up!"

"Yun Yan, it’s not too late! Together, we can change the entire battle!"

"No... it’s too late. You have no idea how terrifying she truly is."

Yun Yan shook her head with a bitter smile, a trace of desolation in her eyes.

Just yesterday, Empress Wu Zong had already left a Seal in her Divine Soul. If she dared to betray, Empress Wu Zong could immediately make her wish for death!

"Seems like I can’t persuade you to change your mind. But no matter, I will dispatch you as quickly as possible, traitor!"

Huo Ling’er gave a coquettish shout, and the Samadhi True Fire blazed fiercely on her Fire Feather Sword. Huo Ling’er thrust the sword straight towards Yun Yan’s heart!

Facing this deadly strike, Yun Yan’s eyes flickered with hesitation.

"To give up... just like this?"

This thought lasted only a moment before Yun Yan dismissed it.

She had escaped the Tower Spirit, forced to join Empress Wu Zong, all just to survive.

Is survival a sin?

Yun Yan always believed that from the moment one was born, human or demon, their life’s trajectory was already predestined.

She believed in fate but refused to surrender to it.

Even if just this once, she had to win!

"Soul Stealing!"

Yun Yan groaned, her eyes flashing coldly, facing the Samadhi True Fire head-on!

The pure and intense Samadhi True Fire burned Yun Yan’s Divine Sense in an instant. Despite this, Yun Yan had no thought of retreat, enduring the sharp pain, and finally, in that moment, forcibly seized control of Huo Ling’er’s consciousness!

"I... am not a traitor!"

Hearing Yun Yan’s sudden voice in her ear, Huo Ling’er was momentarily dazed.

"What... what did you say?"

"I’m not a traitor! I’ll find a way to create a chance for you to escape. Empress Wu Zong has already grasped my lifeline; she can make me wish for death at a whim. I... I have no choice!"

With that, Yun Yan released the restriction on Huo Ling’er, her eyes glistening.

Seeing this, Huo Ling’er fell silent.

She didn’t know whether to trust Yun Yan. If it was just a ruse, she might miss the chance to seriously injure Yun Yan!

But if Yun Yan wasn’t lying...

For a moment, Huo Ling’er was caught in a dilemma.

But the next instant, her doubts were completely dispelled.

Yun Yan took the initiative to step forward. Huo Ling’er instinctively raised her sword to block, but Yun Yan collided with it willingly, and the Fire Feather Sword pierced through Yun Yan’s abdomen instantly, shattering her internal organs!

The excruciating pain hit, causing Yun Yan to scream in anguish, shouting, "Wuzhong, save me!"

In the Sky-reaching Giant Tower, Empress Wu Zong heard the voice and glanced at Yun Yan subconsciously. Seeing her pinned to the ground by Huo Ling’er, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"Trash is trash!"

Though Empress Wu Zong never expected much of Yun Yan, such a quick defeat still caused her vexation.

"I’ve erased your soul seal; find your own way to escape!"

"Empress Wu Zong! How can you be so heartless!"

"You are utterly useless, how can you blame me for being heartless? Yun Yan, you’ve utterly disappointed me!"

The Empress sent a palm strike, instantly forcing Huo Ling’er to retreat.

"Get lost now!"

"Traitor, don’t go!"

"Huo Ling’er, next time we meet, I promise to cut you down!"

Yun Yan gritted her teeth, enduring the severe pain as she transformed into a stream of light and fled. Seeing this, Huo Ling’er feigned anger and stomped her foot, then hurriedly turned her gaze to the Taoist and Old Master Situ above the clouds, immediately rushing forward!

"Senior Situ, I’ll hold him off! You head to the Heaven-reaching Tower!"

"What a girl! Seems this old man is truly getting old, not even as nimble as a young girl. So be it, I’ll leave the Bull-nosed fellow to you!"

Old Master Situ laughed heartily, cradled Yin Yang in his arms, crushed the Bull-nosed Taoist’s Magic Artifacts into powder, then swiftly disappeared, crashing into the Heaven-reaching Tower!

"Senior, let me assist you!"

"Thank you."

The Tower Spirit broke the Order Chains entwining him and immediately returned to the Demon Suppression Pagoda, floating beside Old Master Situ, saying solemnly, "Her power has recovered somewhat and shouldn’t be underestimated. Exercise extreme caution."

"No worries, I defeated her once, and I can defeat her a second time!"
