Her body immediately transformed into a long rainbow, racing to the side of the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul was startled.

He hadn’t expected Gu Xiaoxi to possess such terrifying explosive power, nor that she would fearlessly rush over.

Moreover, the sword in her hand gave him a very unpleasant feeling.

The Nascent Soul instinctively raised his longsword to block, but didn’t expect the sword, glittering with golden light, to release an unrivaled sword qi. Wherever the sword qi passed, it cut through everything with unstoppable force.

The Nascent Soul was pierced by the sword qi, sustaining wounds on his arms, limbs, and face.

Luckily, he was incredibly fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Otherwise, the strike from Gu Xiaoxi just now would have been enough to seriously injure him.

The Nascent Soul didn’t understand why Gu Xiaoxi had suddenly become stronger.

But with that, she thought she could deal with him.

He couldn’t help but sneer, "Gu Xiaoxi, anyone who challenges me dies! And you, I will make you watch as everyone around you dies. In the end, I will kill you slowly, bit by bit. Young Master Quan likes you so much, you should go to Hell and accompany him."

After her strike, Gu Xiaoxi had indeed injured the Nascent Soul, but he had escaped too quickly.

When she heard the Nascent Soul’s words, she instinctively looked towards Jing Haoran.

As she turned her head, her pupils constricted, and she shouted in shock, "Run!"

But it was obviously too late.

Jing Haoran was trembling with fear; his mouth agape, unable to articulate a word.

In the end, he felt no pain as his heart was pierced and he collapsed to the ground.

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of her sockets.

For a moment, her world went silent.

Everything she had,

All the people she was proud of, had died.

What was this feeling...

It was like a dull knife repeatedly gouging her heart, ceaselessly, without respite.

She felt like she was being fried in a pan. Each moment was torturously lethal.

She felt as though she had plummeted into an ice cave, coldness engulfing her, unable to feel a trace of warmth. Not even the whisper of the wind.

The world had come to a standstill, time lost its rhythm, and she was alone...

"No!" Gu Xiaoxi suddenly screamed skyward.

She swung her longsword like a madwoman enraged. Once again, she charged at the Nascent Soul.

Just then, Ya suddenly let go of Young Master Quan and turned to rush towards Gu Xiaoxi, shouting, "Xiao Xi, don’t be reckless."

But Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t hear him.

How could she not be reckless at this moment?

She was irreconcilably opposed to the Nascent Soul.

Even though she was injured, her previous expenditure of spiritual energy was massive.

But it did not affect her desire for revenge in the least.

The Nascent Soul had already taken the magic wand in hand.

By the time Gu Xiaoxi rushed over, he had already quickly dodged.

At the same time, he activated the magic wand, unleashing the immense power of thunder and lightning.

He knew Gu Xiaoxi wasn’t as fast as him, so after striking, he quickly moved away.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t catch up to him, nor could she do anything to him.

However, when he struck out,

Gu Xiaoxi felt an imminent danger.

She tried desperately to evade but couldn’t keep up and failed to dodge.

Just as she was about to use her inner strength to resist, Ya suddenly appeared beside her, grabbing her shoulder and quickly moving away from the danger zone.

Only then did she narrowly avoid the attack.

And got away from the hazardous area.

Gu Xiaoxi, looking at the people lying around her, turned to Ya again with eyes red from crying, her vision blurred by tears, "Please help me save them. You can save them, can’t you? I’m begging you. If you save them, I’ll do anything you ask of me in the future."

As she spoke, her tears fell like pearls off a string.

Ya, seeing her cry, felt as if his heart was breaking.

He reached out and gently wiped away her tears, comforting, "Don’t worry, I will do my utmost to save everyone."

Gu Xiaoxi bit her lip, her gaze shifting towards Young Master Quan not far away.

He hadn’t woken up and lay on the ground, showing no signs of life.

At that moment, Gu Xiaoxi felt as though she were in a dream.

How she wished she could wake up,

And that all of this was just her wild imagination, none of it real.

"Don’t worry, he’s okay. Although the Nascent Soul’s sword pierced through his chest, his heart remains intact. He’s just passed out due to excessive blood loss," Ya hurriedly explained.

As for why this was the case,

Ya felt it might be related to the Love-Forbidding Curse within him.

The Love-Forbidding Curse shrouded his heart entirely, almost corroding it. Even the strength of the Nascent Soul couldn’t touch the Love-Forbidding Curse at all.

So, Quan Shaoqing had only fainted due to blood loss, as he helped him heal the wound and stop the bleeding afterward.

There were no serious issues left.

However, he could not wake up now.

"Really?" Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t believe it. She had clearly seen the Nascent Soul’s sword pierce through his heart.

He could still be alive...

Gu Xiaoxi just felt the heart that was hanging by a thread relax a little.

Just that, Yun Xiao, Jing Rui...

Ya quickly made a reassuring gesture to Gu Xiaoxi, saying, "Don’t act rashly against the Nascent Soul. Try to hold her off, I’ll go see about the others."

Having said that, Ya went to rescue the others.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately wiped away her tears and reignited a glimmer of hope and combativeness.

As long as there was hope for everyone!

She would definitely make herself stronger and wouldn’t let anyone get hurt again.

Seeing Ya leaving to rescue others, the Nascent Soul targeted Gu Xiaoxi once more.

He definitely would not give Gu Xiaoxi any more opportunities. Today, he intended to make sure everyone died.

This time, Gu Xiaoxi was no longer reckless, defending while attacking at the same time.

The Nascent Soul failed again and again in his attempts.

And Gu Xiaoxi kept changing her position, holding off the Nascent Soul, giving Ya the chance to rescue the others.

Gradually, the physical strength of Gu Xiaoxi also began to drain increasingly.

It was apparent that Ya’s rescue wasn’t going to be swift.

Just as she felt a surge of anxiety, five immortal cranes flew over from a distance in the sky.

On the backs of the cranes stood five people.

Dressed in white, draped in white cloaks, with longswords on their backs, they looked like heroes emerging from mountains, each with an aura of immortal qi and enchanting elegance.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately recognized that the leader was Bai Tian. They were from Yaobi Mountain.

That was great.

Gu Xiaoxi was overjoyed in her heart, with the help of these five people.

Today, this Nascent Soul would at least shed some skin if he didn’t die.

"Sorry we’re late," Bai Tian said apologetically as he looked over the chaotic scene.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t possibly blame them—they were already doing her a favor by showing up.

Moreover, Yaobi Mountain was so far away, it must have taken time to get here.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly explained the situation to everyone succinctly.

As the people from Bai Tian arrived, the Nascent Soul immediately hid himself.

After hearing Gu Xiaoxi’s explanation, Bai Tian furrowed his brows. "A grey Nine-Tailed Fox? Does it have a Thousand-Year Cultivation? Can the magic wand it uses release thunder and lightning?"

"Right!" Gu Xiaoxi nodded.

"Half a year ago, my Yaobi Mountain lost a magic artifact and ten elixirs. It seems they were stolen by this thief," Bai Tian said coldly.

"But big brother, he can create his own barrier. This indicates that his cultivation is certainly strong; the five of us can’t beat him either," said Bai Le, the youngest.

And their ages, they had a mere two hundred years of cultivation.

Compared to the Nascent Soul with a thousand years of cultivation, they were not much stronger.

Upon hearing this, Bai Tian also lowered his head in thought and said, "Thank you, Miss Gu, for assisting with our master’s affair.

Since we’re here, we’ll help resolve this matter before leaving, regardless of the outcome.

We cannot guarantee victory, but we can reclaim what belongs to Yaobi Mountain. "

"That’s good!" Gu Xiaoxi felt that as long as she had help, it was enough. Once the magic wand was reclaimed, taking on the Nascent Soul would be much easier.

Moreover, with the addition of five more people’s strength.

Together, they were determined to find a way.

She certainly did not want everyone to die inside.

After Ya’s treatment, Yun Xiao and Willy had woken up with not too severe injuries but were still very weak.

As for the rest, there was almost no hope for them. Especially those pierced through the heart by the Nascent Soul’s sword were undoubtedly going to die.

Jing Rui, who had his throat pierced and lost a lot of blood, had his wounds repaired and blood clots cleared by Ya’s full effort, but his life still teetered on the edge.

Whether he could wake up depended on his destiny.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately turned her gaze towards the depths of the palace, chasing after the fleeing Nascent Soul with Bai Tian and the others.

Bai Tian stood on the back of the immortal crane, forming seals with his hands and chanting incantations resolutely!

Shortly after, a glow of twilight lit up inside the palace.

The magic wand used by the Nascent Soul earlier flew out from there.

Bai Tian immediately summoned it over, examining it for a moment, then said to Gu Xiaoxi, "This is from Yaobi Mountain. He hasn’t gone far; he is nearby."

Gu Xiaoxi and the others quickly surrounded the Nascent Soul’s palace.

The Nascent Soul clenched his teeth with a cold expression.

He hadn’t expected Gu Xiaoxi to have support.

And not just any support but disciples from Yaobi Mountain.

Even though five of them had arrived, their cultivation was not very profound.

How could he fear them?
