Mu Lingxi was able to become the Saintess of the Demonic Sect and infiltrate the Martial City Academy for so long. It was evident that she was very smart and strategic.

Thus, she could naturally see that Qiu Yu was purposely using “kindness” to threaten her.

If she’d really softened and freed Qiu Yu, then today would probably be the day of Zhang Ruochen and Le’s deaths.

Qiu Yu could see the worry in Mu Lingxi’s heart. “Lingxi,” he quickly said. “Don’t worry. I swear that as long as you free, I definitely won’t take revenge on Zhang Ruochen. You should know that, for top cultivators, going against their word would affect their mindset greatly.”

Holding her sword, Mu Lingxi walked over and pointed it to Qiu Yu’s forehead. “No need to speak further. Since I said I’ll ask forgiveness from Zhang Ruochen, I will definitely try my best to save you.”

Ugh, I’m already acting so low, but she still stands on Zhang Ruochen’s side. If I’d known this, I wouldn’t have saved her in the Blue Dragon Void World. If she falls into my hands, I’ll make her wish she’s dead. Menace flashed past the depths of Qiu Yu’s eyes.

A laugh came from a poisonous cloud in the distance. “I didn’t expect this. I didn’t expect to see such an incredible scene.”

Hearing the laugh, Mu Lingxi was taken aback. “Who is it?”

Zhentian Tiger walked out of the cloud with his thick arms behind his back. Looking at Zhang Ruochen sitting cross-legged, he said, “I’d come on the Heir’s orders to investigate on Zhang Ruochen’s true state. Seems like I don’t have to do anything myself.”

Yuan Hun had led the Luosha Princess away to send someone back secretly and check if Zhang Ruochen really was injured. If he was, then Zhentian Tiger could force Zhang Ruochen to use the divine weapon even if he couldn’t kill him.

Once the divine weapon lost its power, Zhang Ruochen would be defenseless.

Faced with Zhentian Tiger, Mu Lingxi felt great pressure. It was like a mountain-sized tiger walking over to her.

Each word that Zhentian Tiger spoke was like an earsplitting roar. Mu Lingxi’s delicate frame was about to fly out from the vibrations.

But Mu Lingxi was fighting hard against the pressure. She activated the Ice Phoenix blood, forming the huge projection of a phoenix. It blocked Zhang Ruochen and Le.

Zhentian Tiger eyed Mu Lingxi. “The Ice Phoenix Body isn’t bad, but you’re only in the middle of the True Saint Realm. You’re no different from an ant to me.”

Mu Lingxi’s eyes were sharp. “Not necessarily. A True Saint deactivating her saintly source might still be enough to kill me.”

“You think you can scare me by threatening with your life?”

Zhengtian Tiger scoffed. Looking at Qiu Yu on the ground, he said, “How about I undo the Saint-binding Chain and you kill Zhang Ruochen for me?”

Earlier, Qiu Yu was already in despair. Hearing Zhentian Tiger’s words, he seemed to see hope again.

He finally had a chance to turn the tides.

“I have an irrevocable rivalry with Zhang Ruochen,” Qiu Yu said quickly. “As long as you undo the Saint-binding Chain, today will be the day that he dies.”

“I want all the treasures on Zhang Ruochen,” Zhentian Tiger said.

“I only want to kill him and erase my humiliation. As for his treasures… With my cultivation, I won’t dare to compete with you.”

Actually, Qiu Yu didn’t care about Zhentian Tiger at all. If he killed Zhang Ruochen, Zhentian Tiger would be the next one.

Even a Supreme Saint would be tempted by Zhang Ruochen’s treasures. How could Qiu Yu not want them?

Plus, Zhentian Tiger had stepped on his head and spat in his face earlier. Qiu Yu had already been furious. It would be stranger if he didn’t kill Zhentian Tiger.

However, he was restricted, so he had to act weaker.

Zhentian Tiger nodded in satisfaction. He sent a crescent sword flying. It cut an arc and hit the Saint-binding Chain.

Mu Lingxi couldn’t stop that. Merely the destructive power that radiated from the sword forced her back.

With a thud, the Saint-binding Chain was broken.

Next, the restriction on Qiu Yu’s Holy Qi disappeared.

With a loud scream, Qiu Yu cut the remaining chains into dozens of pieces. Pressing on the ground, he spun and flew up, going straight for Zhang Ruochen.

Zhentian Tiger retreated into the distance. He crossed his arms as if watching a good show.

He didn’t attack because he couldn’t figure out if Zhang Ruochen was still able to activate the divine weapon. He was also a bit afraid that Mu Lingxi would really deactivate her saintly source.

It was the best that someone was willing to do it for him.

“Zhang Ruochen, I will extract your saint soul and turn you into a ghost slave. You’ll be my slave for eternity.”

Qiu Yu’s eyes were bloodshot and the murderous intent in him was extremely strong. Seeing Mu Lingxi before Zhang Ruochen, he said coldly, “Move if you don’t want to die.”
