129: Explanation

"Liu Ruyan!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone present was startled.

Because Liu Ruyan's reputation in the Lower Realm was too great!

The most beautiful woman in Northern Desolation in a hundred thousand years!

A peerless Martial Saint who survived after failing to break through to the Emperor Realm!

The bosom friend of Ji Ru Qianlong, the only Great Completion Holy Body in the world after the Ancient Era!

Each identity, taken alone, was enough to make various forces take her seriously.

What's more, Liu Ruyan, who possessed all three identities, made it so that no one in the Lower Realm dared to underestimate her!

However, what surprised everyone was that Liu Ruyan would appear here?

"Strange! Rumor has it that several years ago, after Liu Ruyan failed to break through to the Emperor Realm, her body suffered a major problem and she could die at any time. Why does she look completely fine now?"

A Saint whispered, feeling incredibly unbelievable.

The Emperor Road was a path of nine deaths and one life; very few Peak Martial Saints had the chance to survive after failing to break through to the Emperor Realm.

And even if they were lucky enough to keep their lives, those Martial Saints who failed would suffer indelible Dao injuries, basically leaving them half-dead.

In the past, Liu Ruyan's desperate attempt to break through to the Emperor Realm and her subsequent failure was a well-known fact.

Since then, Liu Ruyan had vanished from the Northern Desolation as if she had evaporated from the Mortal World.

After so many years, many people in the outside world thought she had died from her severe injuries and had passed away in some secret place.

Who would have thought she would appear again today!

It was truly like seeing a ghost!

At the same time, Lin Yang's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the suddenly appearing Liu Ruyan.

Her brilliant golden hair cascaded like waves to her slender waist, and her full, graceful body was enveloped in a purple brocade robe, her curves elegant, exuding an indescribable charm.

This innate captivating aura made Lin Yang suddenly think of that Saintess, Ji Ru Qianlong, who was as beautiful and ethereal as a moonlight goddess.

They both possessed a sparkle that made men unforgettable at first sight.

Their extraordinary temperaments, though vastly different, also shared a subtle similarity of reaching the same destination by different paths.

Ji Ru Qianlong was like a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, only to be admired from afar, untouchable.

Liu Ruyan, on the other hand, was like a Mortal World Fairy, a born enchantress, approachable, yet equally untouchable.

Just then, Liu Ruyan seemed to sense the gaze cast from behind her, and her deep green eyes also looked back at Lin Yang.

Her gaze exuded a natural charm, along with a faint hint of resentment.

This glance made Lin Yang's heart inexplicably skip a beat.

He always felt that the Liu Ruyan in front of him had a sense of déjà vu.

As if he had seen her somewhere not long ago.

But Lin Yang quickly shook his head inwardly; such a stunningly beautiful woman would be unforgettable at first sight.

If he had truly seen her, he wouldn't have forgotten.

"Pavilion Master Ruyan, what is the meaning of this?"

Just then, another Saint from the opposite side spoke, interrupting their gaze and questioning Liu Ruyan with dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, can't you tell?"

Liu Ruyan gently brushed her beautiful hair from her shoulder with her jade-like hand, then moved a few steps closer to Lin Yang, her beautiful eyes smiling as she looked at the Saints opposite, her red lips curling into a faint, provocative smile.

"I'm protecting this little brother Lin Yang! Today, whoever wants to touch him, dies!"

At these words, all the Saints looked at Liu Ruyan with strange expressions.

The vast space instantly fell silent, plunged into an eerie stillness.

"Little brother Lin Yang...?"

As Liu Ruyan spoke, a strong sense of familiarity washed over Lin Yang, and he couldn't help but show a strange look in his eyes, muttering to himself.

Liu Ruyan's tone of voice, how was it somewhat similar to Xin Ru Yin's...

"Liu Ruyan, I know your relationship with Ji Ru Qianlong of the Holy Emperor Sect is not shallow."

"But this Lin Yang has wantonly killed too many Prodigies from various forces, accumulating deep karma. If he doesn't give an explanation to all Fellow Daoists today, I'm afraid it won't end well!"

The quiet didn't last long before Xuanwu Great Saint spoke in a deep voice.

"That's right! Today, this Saint of the Holy Emperor Sect must give us an explanation!"

"Must give an explanation!"

After Xuanwu Great Saint spoke, the Saints seemed to find their backbone and responded one after another, putting pressure on Liu Ruyan to make her concede.

"Hmph! Explanation? What explanation do you want?"

Liu Ruyan snorted, facing the pressure from the Saints with no intention of backing down.

Not to mention that Lin Yang was someone her good friend Ji Ru Qianlong valued, she herself had already become husband and wife with Lin Yang.

How could she allow others to bully her man, Liu Ruyan's man?

"In the land of immortal destiny, each relies on their own ability!"

"Your own Prodigies were killed because they were inferior, and now you still have the nerve to come asking for an explanation? I think the skin on your faces has all gone to the dogs."

Hearing Liu Ruyan's unreserved mocking words, the Martial Saints from all sides present turned pale and then flushed, their eyes extremely gloomy.

At the same time, behind a large tree not far from here.

Nangong Xueli looked at Liu Ruyan, who stepped forward to shield Lin Yang behind her, and an inexplicable hint of sour jealousy welled up in her heart.

Not long ago, she had also sensed intense battle fluctuations here and found Lin Yang's Qi among them.

So, she immediately turned back.

Just now, when Si Guoyi attacked Lin Yang, she had also planned to let Yao Mu possess her and go to save Lin Yang.

But she didn't expect that this Liu Ruyan would appear first.

"What she said, those were all my lines!"

Nangong Xueli's eyes showed a hint of resentment; if Liu Ruyan hadn't appeared, then it should have been her standing in front of Lin Yang.

However, in that case, it would undoubtedly expose Yao Mu's existence.

Nangong Xueli was unwilling to do so unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, since Pavilion Master Ruyan of the Myriad Flower Pavilion had now appeared and stood with Lin Yang, she could only be patient and continue to observe from the sidelines.

If Liu Ruyan could persuade the various forces to retreat, then she naturally wouldn't need to ask Yao Mu to act.

But if Liu Ruyan failed to repel the relentless pressure from all sides, and Lin Yang's life was still in danger, then she would have no choice but to ask Yao Mu to possess her and fight!

"No matter what, it's a fact that Lin Yang killed people, and he must give an explanation to everyone today!"

The Saints were enraged, and someone spoke thus.

Although they said so, everyone present actually knew very well that they just wanted to find an excuse to make trouble, forcing Lin Yang to hand over the Demon Immortal Legacy he obtained in the Demon Immortal Tomb.

"You want an explanation, do you? Then I'll give you one!"

Just as both sides were at loggerheads, Lin Yang sneered and stepped forward, taking the initiative to stand out.

He waved his palm, and immediately the corpses of the Prodigies, secretly refined into killing puppets by Si Guoyi, appeared together.

Lin Yang pointed at the control seals still remaining on those corpses and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone, open your eyes and see, were these people killed by me!"
