333: Chapter 331: Gu Shengge: Have I become a demon?

The chaotic moment of destiny finally arrived. Above the sky, an overwhelming pressure swept down, covering the sun and the moon, and a mighty Aura stirred up a gust of wind on the ground.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh ~"

The strong wind howled. On the ground, Ling Yao and the other Cultivators from Zhao Country, caught in the gale, instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes.

Gu Shengge was among the crowd. His heavy pupils scanned the area. An Yuan had arrived, but the System was nowhere to be seen, which was very strange.

Gu Shengge did not make a sound, remaining hidden within the crowd.

After a short while, a team of over thirty people descended. Among them were five Cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Soul Transformation, and the rest were all Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators of considerable strength.

However, they seemed to be at odds with Ling Yao's group. As soon as they gathered, swords were drawn, and bows were strung, looking as if a fight could break out at any moment.

The leader of this team was a slender woman with a fair complexion and a flame mark between her eyebrows. She stood suspended in the air in front of Ling Yao, her gaze cold.

Ling Yao showed no fear and shouted, "Ling Yun, what do you want to do?"

Ling Yun landed beside the scattered remnants of the Dao of Time. The people she brought also quickly landed, enclosing the remnants within, cutting off Ling Yao and her group's path to comprehend them.

Ling Yao's eyes widened, and she angrily rebuked, "What are you doing! We discovered this Opportunity first!"

Ling Yun said with disdain, "You discovered it first, but now I, too, have seen it. You are but a concubine's princess. Are you going to contend with the legitimate eldest princess for an Opportunity?"

Ling Yao's Aura, which had intended to argue, suddenly weakened. She suppressed her anger, completely intimidated.

Beside Ling Yun, An Yuan whispered something into Ling Yun's ear, then maliciously stared at Ling Yao. Ling Yun immediately launched an attack: "I heard you colluded with an evil demon. Where is that person now?"

"Evil demon?" Ling Yao's face was filled with confusion.

The Cultivators from Zhao Country who followed Ling Yao were also puzzled. They had been here for so long, and they had never seen any evil demon.

Ma Yuansheng's status must not be low. He stepped forward to answer for Ling Yao: "Your Highness, there is no so-called evil demon here. Are you perhaps listening to the instigation of some despicable villain? If we fight amongst ourselves, the Great Wei will ultimately benefit. Please think thrice, Your Highness."

Ling Yun's brows furrowed slightly. She looked at An Yuan beside her. An Yuan was a descendant of a Great Wei noble, so it was possible she was indeed instigating trouble.

Upon hearing this, An Yuan immediately became anxious and quickly said, "You all saw how that evil demon slaughtered the Great Wei Cultivators back then! With that kind of strength and those brutal methods, isn't that person a great evil? Isn't that person an evil demon?"

Within the team, Gu Shengge was momentarily stunned. He had thought these people wouldn't even find a good reason to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that he himself would be their reason for acting.

What the hell, when did he become an evil demon?

Ling Yao subtly glanced at Gu Shengge, then angrily retorted, "An Yuan, what nonsense are you spouting! On that day, it was clearly you who overestimated yourselves and attacked Senior, leading to your demise. What great evil? You actually have the nerve to falsely accuse us! Inciting our Zhao Country Cultivators like this, you're asking for death!"

Ling Yao immediately attacked, a fiery red spiritual sword shooting from her palm. Its speed was incredibly fast, instantly piercing towards An Yuan's face.

An Yuan's eyes widened. She quickly formed hand seals, condensing a spell imprint in her palm, forming a light shield in front of her, adorned with the form of a Black Tortoise.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the two energies collided, creating ripples of energy. Ling Yun, who was nearby, was startled and quickly retreated.

Although An Yuan blocked the attack, her face was very unsightly. She said angrily, "Ling Yun, don't forget what you promised me!"

An Yuan barely managed to block the attack. After receiving it, she violently coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, looking quite disheveled.

Ling Yun had been in a state of observation, and it was unclear what she had promised An Yuan. After An Yuan's shout, Ling Yun's cultivation instantly surged: "Ling Yao, stop immediately!"

"Imperial Sister, please don't be provoked by this person again. We, the people of Zhao Country, are one!" Ling Yao shouted.

"I have my own considerations regarding this matter. You stand down."

Ling Yao had no choice but to stop, feeling quite unwilling.

Ling Yun and her people landed on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Ling Yao, you don't want to make things too ugly, do you? Turning against us for an evil demon of unknown origin is truly not worth it. Hand the person over quickly!"

Regarding this matter, Ling Yao showed no signs of backing down.

"Imperial Sister, I really don't know what this An Yuan is talking about. I've never seen any evil demon!"

An Yuan's expression grew serious. The System had clearly told her that the person was still here, and as long as she brought Ling Yun and the others, that fellow would surely die.

But now, she couldn't find him at all.

The key was that the System, for some unknown reason, had fallen into a deep sleep, leaving her in such an awkward situation!

Just as An Yuan was about to give up, the System's voice suddenly came from her ear.

"That guy might be in the crowd. Don't have any more reservations; attack everyone!"

Listening to the voice in her ear, An Yuan was momentarily lost. With so many Soul Transformation Realm powerhouses, she was actually supposed to attack in front of them. Was the System really afraid she wouldn't die fast enough?

She complained in her heart, but the System ignored her, falling silent after giving its instructions.

An Yuan's achievements today were all thanks to the System. Now, she could only force herself to complete the tasks issued by the System.

She suddenly attacked, streaks of divine light bursting from her palm, transforming into light blades that swept towards Ling Yao and the Cultivators behind her.

Ling Yao immediately became enraged, roaring, "Damn it! Is there no talking anymore? Imperial Sister, you forced my hand!"

Ling Yao attacked, the newly comprehended Dao of Time flowing. The movements of everyone else became incredibly slow in her eyes. Using this time gap, she rushed in front of An Yuan and threw a punch, aiming directly at her face.

An Yuan felt a cool breeze coming from the front and already realized the danger. She quickly dodged, but the punch still landed squarely on her face.

"Bang!"

The power of time dispersed, and An Yuan also crashed to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

Ling Yun sensed the power erupting from the person beside her, and her eyes were filled with shock: "Ling Yao, you actually comprehended the Dao of Time?"

As she spoke, her gaze immediately fell upon the remnants of time on the ground. Without a doubt, Ling Yao's Dao of Time must have been comprehended from here.

Ling Yao seized this Opportunity to attack again. She now only wanted to kill An Yuan; only if she died could Gu Shengge's identity remain hidden.

A spiritual sword condensed in her palm, incredibly sharp, emitting a buzzing sound.

"Die!"

The sword in her hand instantly stabbed down. An Yuan's face showed no fear at all; instead, she revealed a sinister, triumphant expression.

Ling Yao sensed something was wrong and wanted to stop, but it was too late. She could only forcefully continue her attack, thrusting her sword at An Yuan's throat.

As Ling Yao approached, An Yuan quickly scattered three talismans, which contained a massive amount of spiritual energy and boundless power. Even a Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator felt a tremor in their heart at this moment. (End of Chapter)
