Chapter 19: The Death of Xiao Lian, Nan Gong Qiyue is Overwhelmed with Grief!

"No! Senior Sister Qiyue, I cannot leave. Since Senior Brother Gu is here to cause me trouble, how could I abandon Senior Sister and flee alone? Even if I die today, I will never be a burden to Senior Sister!"

Ye Chen righteously declared that he would advance and retreat with Nan Gong Qiyue, but his legs were trembling, and Xiao Lian, who was beside him, cast a look of disdain at him.

Hmph! What advance and retreat with my Saintess? He clearly doesn't know where the teleportation array is and wants my Saintess to tell him.

In contrast, Nan Gong Qiyue looked moved, then instructed Xiao Lian:

"Xiao Lian, you pull Junior Brother Ye away for me. You must ensure he safely leaves the Dao Sect! Junior Brother Ye, you don't have to worry about me. Although Gu Shengge is a Daozi, I am also a Saintess; he wouldn't dare kill me!"

"Struggling in vain."

Above the Azure Nether, Gu Shengge saw Nan Gong Qiyue trying to stop him and said indifferently, while gently pressing his palm down.

The silver lightning hand, formed by the power of heaven and earth, suppressed Saintess Peak at an even faster speed, like the hand of the heavens punishing the mortal world. Everything, tangible and intangible, was crushed into nothingness under the lightning hand, and bursts of explosive sounds echoed in all directions, resounding beyond the nine heavens!

Seeing the lightning hand approaching menacingly and about to fall, Ye Chen dared not delay any longer and turned to look at Xiao Lian.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lian feigned weakness, directly falling to the ground, her face pale, looking terrified, and completely ignoring Ye Chen.

Damn it! This useless bitch, she's already scared by that guy surnamed Gu!

Seeing this, Ye Chen cursed in his heart. Why was this Xiao Lian always going against him? He should have listed her as a heart-voice transmitter too!

But it was too late now.

Boom!!

The moment the peak-protecting array touched the lightning hand, a tremendous sound, as if the heavens and earth were being split open, echoed throughout the Dao Sect, even startling the Old Ancestor who had been in seclusion for many years.

Although Saintess Peak's peak-protecting array could withstand the attacks of a Nascent Soul True Lord, the power of Gu Shengge's strike had already far exceeded that of an ordinary Nascent Soul expert.

Crack! Crack! Crack...

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and the energy shield formed by the peak-protecting array shattered like glass, producing countless cracks, and with a bang, it broke into a sky full of spiritual light!

Pfft!!

With the array broken, Nan Gong Qiyue's magical power became chaotic, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly suffering injuries.

Seeing that the array could not withstand Gu Shengge, Nan Gong Qiyue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, forced herself to stand, and flew into the sky, intending to block Gu Shengge with her body.

Xiao Lian was furious when she saw her Saintess injured, yet still trying to protect Ye Chen.

She stopped pretending, suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with rage, staring fixedly at Ye Chen, and angrily cursed in a sweet voice:

"You, surnamed Ye, it's all because of you! If it weren't for you, how could the Saintess have fallen out with Gu Daozi? What kind of bewitching potion did you give the Saintess to harm my Saintess so much!"

"Bitch, shut up! Why aren't you quickly taking me to Purple Spirit Palace and getting me out of here!" As Nan Gong Qiyue went up to fight with Gu Shengge, Ye Chen also stopped pretending.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lian felt both anger and excitement. This guy had finally revealed his true colors. She knew that someone like Ye Chen, who slandered Gu Daozi, couldn't possibly be a good person.

"You're dreaming! If you want to escape the Dao Sect, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

With that, a Magical Artifact long whip appeared in Xiao Lian's hand, which she swung to strike Ye Chen!

In Xiao Lian's view, the conflict between Gu Daozi and the Saintess was all because of this Ye Chen; he must have bewitched the Saintess, causing her to oppose the Daozi.

As long as Ye Chen was captured and handed over to Gu Daozi for disposal, it would surely ease the relationship between the Daozi and the Saintess.

Surely...

Swish!!

Just as Xiao Lian was fantasizing about her Saintess and the Daozi reconciling, she suddenly saw a brilliant sword light burst forth, its sharpness seemingly capable of cleaving heaven and earth, instantly piercing through Xiao Lian, and blood gushed out like a spring, splitting her body in two!

Ye Chen scattered the fragments of the Heavenly Sword Talisman and was about to mock the dying Xiao Lian a few words when he heard a cry of pain from above.

"No!!!"

In mid-air, Nan Gong Qiyue caught sight of Xiao Lian being cut diagonally, and she shrieked in despair, an indescribable grief welling up in her heart. Her already severely injured body spat out another mouthful of blood, and like a bird with broken wings, she plummeted from the sky.

Ye Chen hadn't expected Nan Gong Qiyue to notice him there, or to see him attack Xiao Lian, and he immediately panicked.

Because the heart-voice transmission System was not omnipotent; once a heart-voice transmitter was greatly stimulated, they might be able to break free from the heart-voice Gu.

Although Ye Chen was unsure if Nan Gong Qiyue would break free, it was better to be safe than sorry; he dared not gamble.

He also regretted why he had been so impulsive and shouldn't have used the Heavenly Sword Talisman.

Without time to think further, Ye Chen took out a Senri Teleportation Talisman, intending to crush it and escape Saintess Peak.

Whoosh~~

Suddenly, a sharp cold wind blew, giving Ye Chen no chance to crush the Talisman, and in an instant, it froze him into an ice block.

A voluptuous figure appeared; it was Tantai Qingxuan.

Before coming to Saintess Peak, Gu Shengge had already called Tantai Qingxuan and instructed her to capture Ye Chen if she saw him trying to escape.

Tantai Qingxuan looked at the ice-sealed Ye Chen, her expression cold, unmoved no matter how Ye Chen transmitted his heart-voice.

"Xiao Lian! Xiao Lian!"

On the other side, Nan Gong Qiyue struggled to get up from the ground, covered in dust and looking disheveled.

She limped towards the dying Xiao Lian, ignoring the blood staining her spiritual robe, and embraced half of Xiao Lian's body, overcome with profound grief, tears streaming uncontrollably, dripping onto Xiao Lian's pale face.

"Xiao Lian, don't be afraid, Big Sister will save you! Big Sister will definitely be able to revive you!"

Nan Gong Qiyue, with disheveled hair, carefully fed Xiao Lian a Medicinal Pill for healing while sobbing and repeating that she would definitely revive her.

Perhaps the healing Medicinal Pill was effective, as Xiao Lian, upon hearing Nan Gong Qiyue's voice, slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at Nan Gong Qiyue, whose face was tear-stained like a pear blossom in the rain, with some dust still clinging to it. The tears mixed with the dust, making her face dirty and no longer pretty.

Young Miss loves beauty the most; she's been like this since she was little. She can't get dirty.

This thought popped into Xiao Lian's mind, and she subconsciously tried to raise her right hand, but found it had no sensation.

Only then did she notice the other half of her body not far away.

So, I was cut in half.

Xiao Lian thought, and could only clumsily lift her left hand to wipe away the dust and tears from Nan Gong Qiyue's face.

She tugged at the corner of her mouth and smiled, "Young Miss, don't cry. You won't be pretty if you keep crying..."

"Wuwuwu! Xiao Lian, hold on! Big Sister will take you to Ten Thousand Medicine Peak! Big Sister will have them get you Medicinal Pills to repair your body! Big Sister..."

Nan Gong Qiyue heard this, grabbed Xiao Lian's hand, and begged her to hold on, just a little longer, just a little longer!

"Young Miss, it's alright. I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want Young... Young Miss to be deceived by Ye Chen again. He... he is not a good person..."

Xiao Lian smiled and shook her head. The effect of the medicine was gradually wearing off, and her speech became intermittent.

She wasn't afraid of death; she just worried that after she was gone, Young Miss would have no one by her side to guard against that Ye Chen...

"Young... Young Miss, take good care of yourself from now on. Don't... don't be deceived again. Xiao Lian doesn't blame you..."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Lian's hand dropped heavily, and there was no more movement.

"Xiao Lian, don't die! I won't believe Ye Chen anymore! I won't believe his heart-voice anymore! I won't believe the Heavenly Book! Please don't die!"

Nan Gong Qiyue sensed Xiao Lian's aura growing weaker and weaker, and she sobbed uncontrollably, begging Xiao Lian not to die.

They had clearly promised to be good sisters for life, never leaving each other!

It was her fault; she shouldn't have believed Ye Chen's heart-voice, shouldn't have brought Ye Chen to Saintess Peak, shouldn't have believed Xiao Lian would betray her, and definitely shouldn't have given Ye Chen the Heavenly Sword Talisman!

She was the one who killed Xiao Lian! She was the one who killed her only younger sister!

"Sister!!"

Nan Gong Qiyue embraced the lifeless Xiao Lian, her heart aching to the core, and she spat out another mouthful of blood, staining her clothes.

She regretted it so much!!
