515: How could you do such a thing?

"Your Killing Intent is still so heavy, huh? Like this, no one will ever want to form a Dao Companion bond with you~"

Swish!

Dong Mengyu appeared behind Liu Qingxian at some unknown moment, extended a slender finger, and gently pressed it against the back of her swan-like neck.

The finger carried a hint of scorching heat, causing Liu Qingxian to turn around abruptly.

One could see a hint of shock on that ethereal and cold face.

"You have taken that step?!"

Seeing the shock on Liu Qingxian's face, the corners of Dong Mengyu's lips curled up slightly, and she spoke with a hint of smugness: "I haven't completely taken that step yet, but it's close."

"Impossible!!!"

Liu Qingxian rebuked angrily: "How could you possibly be one step ahead of me?! If you can take that step, so can I!"

Unlike Liu Qingxian's breakdown, Dong Mengyu's expression was very relaxed.

She extended her jade hand, gently hooked Liu Qingxian's round and smooth chin, and opened her red lips slightly: "You and I are naturally different. I have my little disciple to help me overcome my Inner Demon Tribulation; what do you have? Why don't you find yourself a Dao Companion?"

"Hm?!"

Liu Qingxian's pupils constricted.

She had never dreamed that the reason Dong Mengyu was able to lead her by one step was actually because of overcoming an Inner Demon Tribulation?

No wonder! No wonder that wisp of aura on Dong Mengyu had disappeared; she had overcome her Inner Demon Tribulation!

But overcoming an Inner Demon Tribulation shouldn't be enough to allow a Great Emperor to make such progress, right? Could it be that there is something miraculous about Lin Ye?

Thinking about it, it makes sense. The top-tier Physiques on Lin Ye are endless; he cannot be judged by conventional logic.

Dong Mengyu had originally said those things to tease Liu Qingxian.

As old rivals, the two knew each other quite well. Dong Mengyu was certain that Liu Qingxian would absolutely never do something like finding a Dao Companion.

But now, it seemed like something was wrong!

Liu Qingxian's delicate brows furrowed slightly, as if she were pondering something.

A sense of crisis welled up in Dong Mengyu's heart.

Oh no, I've played too big!

Thinking of this, Dong Mengyu hurriedly spoke in a teasing tone: "What? Little Qingxian, are you tempted? Come to think of it, it's understandable, after all, you could ascend to the heavens in one step. How about I let my little disciple help you overcome your Inner Demon Tribulation?"

"..."

Unlike her previous irritability, Liu Qingxian remained silent at this moment.

She even began to size up Lin Ye with those beautiful eyes.

What's going on? Why aren't the methods I used before working?

Dong Mengyu was anxious; could this be considered shooting herself in the foot?

Liu Qingxian stared at Lin Ye for a long while, then said softly: "Dong Mengyu, I really didn't expect that in order to improve your cultivation, you would actually let your own disciple help you overcome your Inner Demon Tribulation?"

"Cut it out!"

Dong Mengyu curled her lips and spoke with a hint of mockery: "Even if you want to use moral kidnapping, you have to kidnap people who actually have morals. Unlike me, I don't have that thing at all, so I won't be kidnapped by you."

"Is that so?"

Liu Qingxian's expression became increasingly indifferent, and her tone was extremely calm: "Perhaps it is precisely because of your uninhibited personality that you were able to Breakthrough that step so quickly?"

"But I won't lose to you either."

Hearing this, Dong Mengyu's beautiful eyes widened: "You... you don't actually want my little disciple to help you, do you?!"

Liu Qingxian retorted: "Why not?"

"..."

This sentence left Dong Mengyu completely baffled; she never expected that this Liu Qingxian was actually going to play for real!

Before, it was just empty talk, meant to make her old rival break down. Now that she wasn't breaking down, she had instead set her sights on her own cabbage!

Absolutely not!

Dong Mengyu immediately shielded Lin Ye behind her, looking at Liu Qingxian vigilantly: "Let me tell you, Liu Qingxian, you're already quite old, don't think about those unnecessary things. My little disciple couldn't possibly be interested in you."

This time it was Liu Qingxian's turn to smile: "Aren't you old too? In terms of age, it seems you are older than me, right? Furthermore, if you, as a Revered Master, can do it, why can't I?!"

"You!!!"

This time, Dong Mengyu was truly at her wits' end. She turned her head and spoke to Lin Ye with great solemnity: "Little disciple, let's go. Revered Master will take you back to the Sect. This place is truly too dangerous; there are people everywhere eyeing your body!"

"If Liu Qingxian wants to make a move on you, how could your little Physique possibly withstand it!"

"..."

Lin Ye was covered in black lines.

Dong Mengyu was already unreliable enough before, but he didn't expect her to reach new heights now.

What kind of wild, brazen words are these?

At this moment, Liu Qingxian also appeared directly beside Lin Ye and grabbed his hand.

"Dong Mengyu, you are merely his Revered Master. He is now the Sword Son of my Heavenly Sword Sect. As an Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sect, I naturally will not allow you to take him away."

"Liu Qingxian, do you think you are my match now?"

Hearing this, Liu Qingxian chuckled: "If it were anywhere else, I certainly wouldn't be your match, but this is my Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Swish, swish, swish...

Just after Liu Qingxian finished speaking, one figure after another appeared in the surroundings, directly surrounding Dong Mengyu.

Previously, these Ancestors of the Heavenly Sword Sect had received news from Liu Qingxian saying that a powerful enemy was invading.

How could that be allowed?!

You must know that for the sake of Lin Ye, the hope of all Sword Cultivators in the world, they had all crawled out of their graves.

They hadn't even returned to their graves to slumber yet.

Once they received Liu Qingxian's message, they all rushed here.

It didn't matter if they didn't look, but once they did, the Ancestors' eyeballs almost popped out in shock.

Isn't this person Dong Mengyu?

An Ancestor of the Flying Feather Holy Sect, and furthermore Lin Ye's Revered Master, how could she be a powerful enemy?

If they attacked her without cause, not to mention whether they could explain it to the Flying Feather Holy Sect, they wouldn't even be able to get past Lin Ye.

One Ancestor braced himself and asked: "Immortal Ancestor, is the powerful enemy you mentioned Fairy Dong?"

"What Fairy?!"

Liu Qingxian said disdainfully: "She's just an old woman. That's right, the enemy I spoke of is her. You block her, and I will take the Sword Son away, lest she harbor any ulterior motives!"

"Liu Qingxian!"

Hearing this, Dong Mengyu was not having it. She rebuked angrily: "Who are you calling an old woman?! Also, Lin Ye is my disciple. If you dare to take him away, I guarantee I won't spare you."

"Hehe..."

Liu Qingxian smiled slightly, and a brilliant light erupted from her body, enveloping both her and Lin Ye.

Under everyone's gaze, the two disappeared directly into the sky.

Dong Mengyu saw this scene, her beautiful eyes widening: "Liu Qingxian, you are courting death!!!"

Just as she was about to chase after them, the group of Ancestors from the Heavenly Sword Sect surrounded her.

"Fairy Dong."

"Senior Dong."

"Please don't make things difficult for us! I beg you, don't chase after them!"
