"Retreat!"

Chen Daotian shouted, right now the only option was to flee... Ye Wenjun was the Holy Daughter, she would be fine, but if they continued to persist, death was certain!

Only by living is there hope.

"I'm not leaving! I want to be with Sister Wenjun!" Shangguan Linghui made an incomprehensible move.

Since Shangguan Linghui became Ye Wenjun's Sword Slave, the two had been together day and night, forging a deep friendship long ago.

She was even more saddened than Ye Wenjun when the Water Cold Sword broke, although she never showed it.

When she first vowed to become the Sword Slave, Fang Yu had laid down an Array that couldn't be severed...

This destined that Shangguan Linghui couldn't bear to leave Ye Wenjun.

Neither could she watch Ye Wenjun be taken away by the True Phoenix Clan, even knowing she wouldn't be in mortal danger, who could say what the future might bring? Who could guarantee there wouldn't be accidents? Who could ensure every member of the True Phoenix Clan would submit to the Holy Daughter? It's impossible! And you can't guarantee it!

"Seeking death!"

At the door of the Tiandu Palace, the other seven protectors stepped into the threshold, lining up word by word!

A mighty aura erupted, surging through the whole palace.

The mere words "seeking death" carried immense energy, cracking the surrounding tables and chairs.

Ye Zhou struck a palm.

The air seemed shaken!

A crystal-like substance wrapped around his palm.

This was the ultimate expression of Inner Essence, condensable into near-bodied attacks!

"Shangguan girl, what are you doing?!!" Chen Daotian was dumbfounded.

Shangguan Linghui froze in place.

If this palm hit fully, she was surely dead.

Even Chen Daotian, a Constant Sand Level peak expert, could not withstand this move, let alone her?

In that flash of lightning.

Ye Wenjun, in front of the mural, awakened like from a dream, with her beautiful eyes wide open...

The surrounding firefly lights instantly coalesced.

Whoosh—

A phantom flickered.

Ye Wenjun appeared in front of Ye Zhou in the next second, her jade palm flashed past like lightning.

Puff!

Ye Zhou only felt a cold sensation rushing from his chest, spreading throughout his body.

Squeak, squeak…

"Ye Zhou!"

"Ye Protector!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Completely unable to react, Ye Zhou turned into a frozen person and was sent flying.

The other seven waved their arms simultaneously, a huge heavenly veil appeared, soft as water, catching Ye Zhou.

Mighty energy unfroze the ice on Ye Zhou…

All eight retreated in unison, staring at Ye Wenjun in shock!

All of this happened within a single move, without even a single breath's time.

The hall fell silent.

A pin dropped would be heard.

The True Phoenix Clan dared not continue the fight!

Chen Daotian and the others also looked unbelievably at Ye Wenjun… This move, although it didn't kill Ye Zhou, had truly defeated him!

A single move defeated the Heavenly Mechanism Realm!

Ye Wenjun's power was overwhelmingly strong.

"Holy Daughter!"

"Holy Daughter!"

The somewhat recovered Ye Zhou shivered all over, forced to drive Inner Essence to dispel the cold qi, and then bowed in salute.

The air thickened.

So quiet it was suffocating.

Everything seemed frozen.

Moments later.

Ye Wenjun slowly spoke, coldly: "Leave—"

Only one word, yet it startled them all.

Ye Ziqi nervously said: "Holy Daughter… You, you… We are the eight protectors of the True Phoenix Clan, here to specially welcome the Holy Daughter back! Please follow us back to the True Phoenix Clan!"

"Please follow us back to the True Phoenix Clan!"

"Please follow us back to the True Phoenix Clan!"

"Please follow us back to the True Phoenix Clan!"

…

Voices like mountain shouts.

Echoing throughout the palace.

Ye Wenjun's expression remained calm, her heart was as still as water, unmoved.

But the murderous intent surrounding her was even stronger than before.

"What… don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Ye Ziqi's eyes momentarily sharpened, pondering before deciding, said: "Holy Daughter, we have said what should be said… You must return with us to the True Phoenix Clan, you have no choice! Before your return, we can only disobey your command!"

Upon hearing.

Ye Wenjun glanced at Ye Ziqi with a complicated expression, said: "Who said, I commanded you with my Holy Daughter status? Who said, I forbade you from disobeying me? Who said, what I said was a command earlier?"

"Hmm?"

"Listen carefully…"

Ye Wenjun stepped forward, one step at a time.

Tap.

Tap.

Somehow, Ye Ziqi flinched, involuntarily taking a step back.

With his retreat, the other seven also stepped back, especially Ye Zhou, who had tasted that icy sting, and almost stumbled while retreating... where was the demeanor of a Heavenly Mechanism Realm?

Tap.

Ye Wenjun halted, continued lightly:

"Leave, get, out!"

Three words, very light, very faint, lacking any force.

The eight were stunned simultaneously.

They looked at Ye Wenjun with puzzled faces.

Ye Ziqi showed a suspicious look, once a decision was made, no need for hesitation. If they could not contribute to the clan, even if she was the Holy Daughter, it held no significance, regardless of their respect.

With such thoughts.

Ye Ziqi straightened, said:

"Forgive our disobedience!"

Upon those four words spoken.

Before they could act.

Ye Wenjun stretched her jade hand, index and middle fingers joined.

A terrifying scene unfolded.

At the tips of her joined fingers, an ice cone emerged.

"Heavenly Wisdom Buddha Step!"

Swoosh.

Ye Wenjun's figure instantly transformed into a shadow!

Ye Ziqi's eyes widened, immediately shouted: "Not good! Defend!"

The eight simultaneously unleashed a heaven magic shield!

At that moment of Inner Essence release.

Ye Wenjun's figure appeared.

Swoosh.

Swoosh swoosh!

Bang!

Massive energy collided.

The eight flew backward simultaneously!

A door already in ruins was completely shattered as they collided, accompanied by a crashing sound, landing on the square outside the palace.

"Protectors!"

"Protectors!"

Everyone was stunned!

This…

How could it be?

They clearly remembered, the Holy Daughter was a Constant Sand Peak cultivator, how could she suddenly become so formidable? Cultivation unfathomable!

The eight's expressions transformed, staring unbelievingly at the palace's entrance.

Tap.

Tap.

Ye Wenjun stepped out in a white robe, stood at the door, with a serene expression as calm as water, facing the wind.

Ye Ziqi's lips trembled, continually sizing up Ye Wenjun.

"I can't see through the Holy Daughter's cultivation! I can't see through… I can't see through…" words becoming jumbled.

Ye Zhou was even more incredulous: "How… is this possible?! Holy Daughter, how could her cultivation be this high?"

"Last time I saw her, she was clearly at the Constant Sand Realm… could it be… the Holy Daughter has been deliberately hiding her strength?!"

"No, I just heard the Holy Daughter mention a Heavenly Wisdom Buddha Step…"

Heavenly Wisdom Buddha Step?
