Chapter 2168 Standing Alone
Chapter 2168: Standing Alone Chapter 2168: Standing Alone Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the yellow robe extended his five fingers, and three men in black robes appeared in the hall. These black-robed men were the experts who had been lurking outside. “I do not like the feeling of being watched,” the man in yellow said calmly as he stretched his back. “Perfect Experimental, show me how you can steal their bloodline.” At that moment, Lin Juelong’s killing intent surged, and he charged toward those men with great speed. In an instant, tragic cries echoed in the hall. The night was silent. At the peak of Freezing Sky Mountain, the cold air pressed down, and snowflakes danced in the sky, creating an artistic scene. A stunningly beautiful figure stood at the peak, her hands placed behind her back. Her eyes were tightly shut, and she radiated a formidable killing intent. This person was Wei Ying, the Palace Master of Juehan Palace. “Palace Master, are you certain you want to wait for those six individuals?” Bai, who stood beside her, asked with concern. “Although these six individuals are early-stage Great Void realm experts, it is possible that they are all third-level Great Void realm experts,” she continued. “Six of them attacking you together would be difficult to deal with even if you were in peak condition. In your injured state, I am very worried.” Wei Ying’s eyes remained closed, and her fair face displayed a sense of loneliness. “Bai, do you know what my greatest weakness is?” she suddenly inquired. “The Palace Master has no flaws,” Bai replied, frowning. “Bai,” Wei Ying’s red lips curled into a smile. “Although I have received the elder’s lifetime of cultivation, and the sect has placed all of its hopes upon me it is far from sufficient for me to elevate the Juehan Palace.” “At least, not at this moment.” “My cultivation is strong, but it does not truly belong to me. My time for growth has been too short.” “Right now, what I need the most is to engage in combat with experts. Only through fighting can I transform that powerful cultivation into my own!” “On the path of cultivation, one must take it one step at a time.” “True experts are all like this.” Bai felt enlightened. She contemplated for a moment and said, “Then, Palace Master, you do not have to confront those six individuals. The families of the Divine Kingdom are not simple. What if they join forces to form a formation or have a backup plan? What should we do then?” “Then I will die, but I will accept it,” Wei Ying replied with a smile. “If I cannot even overcome this challenge, how can I restore Juehan Palace? How can I claim to make it the number one sect in history again?” Bai felt a tinge of panic. She suddenly remembered something and asked, “Palace Master, if something were to happen to you, what will happen to Ye Chen? You cannot protect him forever!” Upon hearing this name, Wei Ying suddenly opened her eyes, as if she had been transported into a memory fragment from another time. “If I perish in this battle, you will disclose the secrets of Juehan Palace to him.” “Those cultivation resources are sufficient for him to grow into an unshakable existence within a hundred years!” “When that time comes, tell him that my name is Wei Ying.” “He… He should be able to avenge me.” “In that case, my death may be worth it.” Bai felt completely helpless. Just as she was about to speak, several streaks of light suddenly appeared in the sky. The flowing light carried an overwhelming aura and flew toward Freezing Sky Mountain. The people from the Divine Kingdom’s Mu Family had arrived! “Bai, retreat!” Wei Ying commanded suddenly as an icy sword materialized in her hand. “Palace Master…” Bai expressed her reluctance, but she still retreated to the rear. The Palace Master’s words were not without reason, but in this life-and-death situation, could the Palace Master truly survive? In an instant, six elderly figures landed simultaneously. The moment these six individuals appeared, they unleashed immense pressure. Wild winds howled, and a powerful vortex formed between heaven and earth. It was as if a giant beast was roaring within the vortex. The leader of the group, an old man who appeared sage-like, fixed his gaze on the veiled girl not far away. After a long moment, he exchanged glances with the other five individuals. He stepped forward and waved his sleeve. “I am Mu Haidao from the Divine Kingdom’s Mu Family. Young girl, from your aura, you must be the one who killed members of the Mu Family in the Holy Dragon Family’s territory.” Wei Ying remained as still as a mountain. Her beautiful eyebrows were cold, and she had no desire to engage in conversation. “Young girl, what kind of power supports you? How dare you challenge the Divine Kingdom’s Mu Family?” Mu Haidao felt a twinge of fear. To reach the Great Void realm at such a young age, who would dare to believe that she had no background? He continued to release his spiritual sense, seeking confirmation of any hidden experts in the shadows. Yet, as he surveyed the area, he found no one else besides these two girls. Unfortunately, Wei Ying had no intention of speaking. She raised her sword and declared, “You need not fear the power behind me. I am the only one capable of confronting the six of you.” “As for the nature of the existence that stands behind me, what right does your Divine Kingdom’s Mu Family have to know about it?” The six elders of the Mu family were taken aback. They had encountered many proud individuals in the Divine Kingdom, but this was the first one who dared to speak to them in such a manner. In an instant, an afterimage was left behind as a figure appeared directly behind Wei Ying. That was the weakest among the six experts sent by the Mu Family, Mu Lei! However, his speed was the most astonishing among them. He required only one move to eliminate his opponents in the Lingwu Continent! Mu Lei held a scarlet sword in his hand. The red blade sliced through the air as he lunged toward Wei Ying. This sword was an attack that could not be blocked! Wei Ying’s eyes remained closed. At the moment the sword was about to land on her neck, her delicate hands stirred up gusts of cold wind as if she were picking flowers. Her two fingers actually seized the scarlet sword, and two forces collided. The sword quivered violently, and Mu Lei’s expression turned to one of sheer horror. So strong! “The Mu Family of the Divine Kingdom is nothing special it seems,” Wei Ying remarked, her red lips parting slightly. In the next moment, she unleashed a violent aura, and the world seemed to transform into a land of ice. At that moment, Wei Ying was the queen of this frozen domain. Kacha! The scarlet sword shook violently, and Mu Lei hastily released his grip. The moment he let go, the sword he wielded disintegrated into powder! Simultaneously, a wave of energy exploded from where Wei Ying stood, and Mu Lei was sent flying. His body shattered several icicles, but just as he was about to crash into the ground, Mu Haidao swiftly grabbed him. Even so, Mu Lei still coughed up blood, and his face was ghostly pale. “This woman’s strength is quite strange. Her cultivation technique possesses an aura of extreme coldness. Is there even such a sect in the Lingwu Continent?” Mu Lei muttered seriously. “I do not believe so,” Mu Haidao pondered for a moment before shaking his head. “I do not recall any such sect in the history of the Lingwu Continent.” “The only possible sect has long since vanished after countless years.” “Let us not investigate this woman’s background for now. We must capture her as swiftly as possible. Her cultivation is stronger than ours, so we must work together!”
