A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother

The six Mount Shushan Elders in the Tribulation Stage who appeared together looked at each other.

All the brothers are here!?

Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go together, shoulder to shoulder!

"Honored Lord, run!!"

"This is a trap! Mount Shushan had set up an ambush long ago."

Faced with the Mount Shushan Sword Formation jointly cast by six Mount Shushan Elders.

Asura Hall's Left Guardian stood alone in the middle of the battlefield, unfolding a Forbidden Ground around himself.

At this moment, the Left Guardian’s blood and qi surged like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

Every drop of blood seemed to burn with roaring flames, radiating an intense and violent aura.

The clouds in the sky were pulled down slowly by the force of this overwhelming power.

Yet, even so, it was difficult to completely hide the signs of decline that gradually appeared in his aura.

But even in such adversity, the Left Guardian didn’t back down in the slightest. His eyes shone with unyielding determination, vowing to clash with this Mount Shushan Sword Formation.

"Honored Lord, run!!"

Liu Qiushui clenched her silver teeth tightly.

“Demoness, you’re not going anywhere!”

“This Honored One wants to leave. Who dares stop me?”

The Right Guardian closed his eyes tightly, chanting incantations as his hands rapidly formed seals.

As he continuously activated his spiritual power, a powerful wave of energy spread out from him as the center.

Next, a dazzling light shot into the sky from behind the Right Guardian.

An enormous manifestation slowly emerged.

This manifestation towered into the heavens, like a majestic mountain standing between heaven and earth.

Its whole body radiated dazzling brilliance, like a golden sun hanging high in the sky.

Its face was solemn and dignified, exuding an awe-inspiring presence without needing anger. Its giant eyes shimmered like stars, overlooking the entire Capital City.

The citizens in the city all turned pale, fear unconcealed in their eyes.

They couldn’t help but look up, eyes locked on that colossal manifestation in the sky.

A Tribulation Stage cultivator’s Manifestation Golden Body, a sight seen only after hundreds of years of cultivation.

Countless Qi Refining cultivators felt as though an invisible giant hand was gripping their hearts, beating faster and faster, almost leaping out of their throats.

"Honored Lord, run!"

"My brother and I will cover your retreat."

"..........."

“Senior Sister Su Wan, stay away from that manifestation, it’s a Tribulation Stage Manifestation Golden Body!”

Qin Wenke reminded.

After speaking, he glanced back at Li Xuanxiao.

“Junior Brother Xuanxiao, you can get a little closer and take a good look.”

Li Xuanxiao: You’re openly acting now?

As soon as Qin Wenke finished speaking, a red flash streaked past his eyes.

Qin Wenke froze.

What a powerful aura!!

Qin Wenke spat out a treasured sword.

"Bang!"

It shattered on contact.

As if his flying sword was made of porcelain.

The corner of Qin Wenke’s mouth lifted slightly—interesting.

Then he dropped into a kneeling slide, spun 360 degrees, and kowtowed.

Look at me now—can you still bear to hurt me?

Mount Shushan disciples know when to yield and when to strike!

Only Liu Qiushui didn’t even glance at him.

"Li Xuanxiao!!"

Liu Qiushui slammed her palm down on Li Xuanxiao’s head.

"Hm? A fake! External Body Technique."

The moment her hand touched, Liu Qiushui immediately judged it was a clone.

And almost instantly, she pinpointed where Li Xuanxiao’s real body was.

Li Xuanxiao’s heart jolted—crap!!

This little trick of his wasn’t worth anything in the eyes of a Tribulation Stage powerhouse.

No time to activate the Windrider Cart either.

As Liu Qiushui rushed forward with great force, the ground was forcefully gouged out, leaving behind a deep and narrow trench.

The trench looked like a ferocious wound torn across the earth—shocking to the eye.

"Die!"

Liu Qiushui roared.

Li Xuanxiao swung his Master’s horsetail whisk.

Centered around the two of them, the surrounding space suddenly distorted, forming an independent domain.

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared from their original location and reappeared in an entirely different space. freёweɓnovel.com

Upon entering this new space, Liu Qiushui felt as though she and Li Xuanxiao were in two completely separate worlds.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t touch him at all.

Only then did she realize the whisk in Li Xuanxiao’s hand was actually a rare spatial-type magical artifact.

This artifact could open up a unique spatial domain, placing anyone within it under special restrictions.

Liu Qiushui scowled, “Li Xuanxiao, you think this one artifact is enough to stop me?”

“It can’t hold you for long, but soon my Elder will catch up.” Li Xuanxiao said, “I don’t believe the great Red-Robed Demoness is willing to die together with a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator!”

“If I kill you, I can still get out.”

“I don’t get it—why do you want to kill me?”

“You dared to deceive This Honored One!”

“What happened last time was because my Master forcibly searched that Mount Shushan traitor’s memories and learned about our connection.

He then impersonated me, deliberately got taken to your Asura Hall. When I heard, I was devastated!”

“And what about today!?”

“Today? What does today have to do with me?

I came to participate in the Demon Elimination Tournament. I have no idea why those Mount Shushan Elders suddenly showed up.

Do you really think I, a nobody disciple of Mount Shushan, have the power to summon them here to kill you?

You’re giving me way too much credit!”

Li Xuanxiao spoke with certainty.

Liu Qiushui calmed slightly, starting to realize.

True, he was just an insignificant disciple of Mount Shushan—how could he possibly plot against her?

Besides, he really did save her back in the Wuwang Mountains.

With that thought, Liu Qiushui gradually cooled down.

Li Xuanxiao pressed the advantage, “I don’t know the full details of today’s incident, but my Master mentioned there was some secret deal with the Emperor of Daxia. Maybe that has something to do with it!”

That old emperor... Mount Shushan!!

Li Xuanxiao’s words snapped her out of it.

Why would six Tribulation Stage powerhouses from Mount Shushan show up here? On a group outing?

No—this was premeditated.

The only person who knew her whereabouts... was the old emperor.

If that emperor sold her out—trading her head for Mount Shushan’s trust!!

Then everything made sense.........

"This place is too dangerous. You should go now!" Li Xuanxiao reminded.

Even if he hadn’t said it, Liu Qiushui knew she had to leave.

Though she now suspected the old emperor had betrayed her, she'd have to settle that score later.

“Wait!”

Li Xuanxiao suddenly called out to Liu Qiushui.
