Chapter 76
Chapter 76: Fortunately, I Didn’t Fight Him in the First Place
Sun Yaibai knew very well in his heart.
Indeed, as Lan Yuer said, you can dodge for a while, but not forever!
But… how could it be so fast?
How could Ling Xue come straight to their doorstep as soon as he turned around?
It’s only been a few days, right?
How did Ling Xue know they were here?
If no one had told Ling Xue where they were, even if he had used all of the Demon Sect’s people to search, it would have taken a lot of time, right?
How could Ling Xue arrive so quickly?
Sun Yaibai even suspected that Ling Xue hadn’t searched for them but had known they were here all along!
What is going on?
Could there be a spy in the Thirty-Six Immortal Palaces?
No, ever since entering this place, no one had gone out. Even if there was a spy, they couldn’t have sent the information out.
So… how did Ling Xue know?
Why?
For a moment, Sun Yaibai’s mind was buzzing.
What should they do?
What should they do now?
“Barrier…”
The last thing he could rely on was, of course, the natural barrier of the Flaming Sun Canyon.
This was their final protection!
“Everyone… move out immediately! Reinforce the barrier!”
Sun Yaibai hurriedly shouted.
If the barrier was breached, if Ling Xue stormed in, none of them would survive.
“Yes!”
The guards quickly nodded.
Then, Sun Yaibai hastily gathered all the people of the Thirty-Six Immortal Palaces, and together they flew out.
Everyone would defend the barrier to the death!
This was their only path to survival!

Meanwhile, outside, Ling Xue had already arrived.
Above the vast canyon, Ling Xue stood in mid-air.
Behind him was a massive spatial rift.
The Demon Sect’s army continuously poured out like a tidal wave.
“There’s a barrier here?”
Qing’er’s figure appeared beside Ling Xue, her beautiful eyes gazing down at the canyon below. “It looks like a primeval canyon overgrown with vegetation, but in reality… it’s all an illusion created by the barrier!”
She had some sharp insight, able to see through the surface illusions.
Ling Xue nodded lightly. The people of the Thirty-Six Immortal Palaces were hiding within this barrier.
“I just can’t figure it out, how did Lord Demon Master know all this?”
Yu Yaoyao also appeared beside Ling Xue. “How are you so sure that the people of the Thirty-Six Immortal Palaces are here?”
Ling Xue didn’t even bother to go to the original location of the Thirty-Six Immortal Palaces.
He came straight here.
How could he be so sure?
And how did he know the people of the Thirty-Six Immortal Palaces were here?
Could it be that he had planted a spy inside the Thirty-Six Immortal Palaces?
Ling Xue merely smiled faintly and didn’t explain much.
These things were, of course, part of the original story.
The people of the Thirty-Six Immortal Palaces, like Sun Yaibai, were nothing more than a bunch of cowards.
Whenever they encountered trouble, they would hide here!
Now that he was here, none of the people in the Thirty-Six Immortal Palaces would survive.
He would crack open this turtle shell!
“This barrier doesn’t seem weak! Even with my cultivation, I probably wouldn’t be able to break it!”
Yan Kui’s old voice followed.
He could see that this barrier, formed by gathering the world’s spiritual energy, was incredibly strong.
Even as someone at the Extreme Martial First Realm, he couldn’t break it.
But… could Ling Xue do it?
“Let me try!”
Qing’er stepped forward.
Then, black demonic energy surged wildly around her body.
Everyone was surprised to see that the Demon Sect had a foreign demon among them.
But she seemed loyal to Ling Xue, so naturally, no one cared.
After all, back then, Ling Xue’s father had also had some strange beings by his side.
Under everyone’s gaze, the immense demonic energy within Qing’er surged into the sky.
Finally, it condensed into a giant black fox in mid-air.
Then, the black fox, carrying the overwhelming black energy, shot down toward the canyon below!
However, just as the black fox was about to enter the canyon, it was stopped by an invisible barrier…
At that moment, everyone saw the shape of the barrier.
The entire barrier enveloped the vast canyon.
Next, under everyone’s gaze, after the black fox crashed into the barrier, it only caused a slight tremor before it slowly dissipated!
“Heh! It’s pretty sturdy!”
Qing’er frowned slightly, seemingly not satisfied with her performance.
To think that someone at the Extreme Martial Second Realm couldn’t shake a barrier?
“This barrier is connected to the heavens and earth. It’s indeed difficult for ordinary people to break through!”
Ling Xue’s voice slowly sounded, “But if we sever the connection to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the barrier will lose its supply, gradually weaken, and eventually disappear!”
As he spoke, the blood-red sword energy around his body began to flow gently.
Then, four beams of sword energy shot out!
Heaven and Earth Sword Technique, Ninth Form: Sword Burial!
However, after Ling Xue’s four beams of sword energy shot out, they didn’t head for the barrier.
Instead, they flew in four different directions—north, south, east, and west!
Finally, they plunged into the ground!
Boom!!!
The next moment, those four beams of sword energy exploded from the four directions.
A series of explosions swallowed the horizon as far as the eye could see.
Ling Xue’s four beams of sword energy had pulverized all the surrounding land.
In an instant, all that was left of the surrounding land was a bloody mist.
The Flaming Sun Canyon, now sitting in the middle of this blood mist, looked like a giant, solitary island!
Qing’er stood beside Ling Xue, watching his side profile.
She looked at his peerlessly handsome face beneath the slightly fluttering white hair.
A casual wave of his hand, and it had this much power?
Was this just the Extreme Martial First Realm?
Even as someone at the Extreme Martial Second Realm, she couldn’t possibly be a match for him!
This guy… thankfully I didn’t fight him back then just because he was handsome.
Otherwise, she would have been in trouble!
If she had fought him, she might not have become Ling Xue’s woman.
She might have ended up as his slave!
The kind of slave Ling Xue would use just to vent…
