588: Lu Hao's thundering rage!

Lingxi struggled to hold on, feeling her internal organs being crushed and her Divine Soul about to leave her body.

She endured the intense pain in her body and launched an attack, but it was struck down before it could even reach the Grand Elder.

Compared to her mother, Lingxi’s Cultivation was still too weak.

Of course, this was also because her Revered Master had not allowed her to Cultivate in this life; all of her Cultivation came from her Revered Master's sacrifice, and being able to receive it to this extent was already extremely terrifying.

To be honest, in such a short time, Lingxi hadn't even fully mastered this power.

But she couldn't fall. She couldn't let Yaochi Holy Land fall into the hands of these villains!

However, the Grand Elder's pressure had already exceeded her limit.

“Cough cough…”

Lingxi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her body like a kite with a broken string, falling backward.

Despair, like a tide, engulfed her.

She remembered her Revered Master's dying wishes and her responsibility to Yaochi Holy Land.

But now, she couldn't even protect herself.

She could only rely on him… Her hand trembled as she reached inside her lapel, touching the warm jade pendant.

Crush it.

This thought, like a life-saving straw, yet also like a knife, plunged fiercely into her heart.

In her heart, she actually didn't want to ask for help. She didn't want Lu Hao to see her in such a sorry state, and even less did she want the world to know that she, Lingxi, needed a man's power to preserve her foundation!

But if she didn't crush it, Yaochi Holy Land would be completely lost today.

Responsibility triumphed over self-respect.

A hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound, under the Grand Elder's terrifying pressure, seemed so faint, yet so clear.

The jade pendant turned to dust, and a wisp of silver light instantly shot into the sky, then disappeared… Wuji Pavilion, Pill Room.

Lu Hao was focused on refining Medicinal Pills. The flames in the Pill Furnace were steady, and the aroma of medicine permeated the air.

Suddenly, his mind was greatly shaken.

The personal jade pendant he gave to Lingxi had shattered.

Lu Hao's face instantly darkened to the extreme.

The jade pendant he gave Lingxi was not an ordinary communication talisman, but a supreme treasure containing a trace of his Origin Divine Thought. Unless she encountered a true life-and-death crisis, Lingxi would never use it!

Someone, in Yaochi Holy Land, was forcing his woman?!

What immense audacity!!!

Boom!

The flames in the Pill Furnace instantly extinguished, and the Medicinal Pills were destroyed, but Lu Hao didn't care.

His figure stepped into a Void Realm crack, and in the next second, he disappeared without a trace… Yaochi Holy Land, Plaza.

The Grand Elder was preparing to deliver a fatal blow, completely crippling Lingxi's Cultivation.

At this moment, he suddenly felt an extreme unease.

The Void Realm, without any warning, was torn open like cloth.

A tall, upright figure stepped out of the rift.

He wore a blue robe, his face handsome, but at this moment, there was no expression on his face, only boundless coldness, like the ice of the Nine Nether, so cold it seemed to freeze the entire world.

As soon as he appeared, the Grand Elder's all-suppressing pressure, as if ice meeting a blazing fire, instantly dissipated completely.

Everyone, including the Grand Elder, felt their bodies lighten, but what followed was a suffocating sensation even more terrifying than the pressure.

Because the newcomer was… Lu Hao.

Sage Lu!

“Sage… Sage Lu!”

The moment he saw Lu Hao, the Second Elder's legs began to tremble, his voice tearful.

He instantly understood that the wild man Lingxi had hooked up with, as he had called him, was none other than… Sage Lu!

Liu Yue's face instantly turned incredibly pale, losing her previous arrogance, and she knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

Everyone who had pressured Lingxi earlier did the same.

Their hearts were now filled with regret, and some anger towards Lingxi!

Your man is Sage Lu?!

Why the hell didn't you say so earlier!!!

If you had said so earlier, would we have pressured you like this? A mere Saintess position, you can have it, would we dare to have any other opinions?!

You deliberately harmed us!!!

In the plaza, hundreds of Yaochi Holy Land Disciples and Elders knelt in unison, their heads pressed tightly to the ground, not daring to look up.

“Greetings, Sage Lu!”

Their voices carried extreme fear and reverence.

Lu Hao's name had long spread throughout the continent, and his strength was recognized as an existence transcending the mundane.

Lu Hao ignored everyone. In his eyes, there was only Lingxi, kneeling on one knee in a pool of blood, her face pale.

Lu Hao felt a pang of heartache.

Lingxi was his woman, and he hadn't protected her well, allowing her to suffer such severe injuries. If he hadn't gone to refine that Medicinal Pill, would he have been able to detect everything that happened here earlier?

He took a step, instantly arriving beside Lingxi, and gently helped her up.

“Lingxi, what happened? I'm sorry, I came late.”

His voice was light, and faint, yet it exploded like thunder in everyone's hearts.

Everyone stammered, no one daring to speak.

The Grand Elder was even more rigid, he could feel that the aura emanating from this young man was a terror he had never encountered in his life.

The moment Lingxi saw Lu Hao, an indescribable sense of grievance and security immediately surged within her.

“Lu Hao…”

She threw her arms around Lu Hao's neck, then began to sob softly.

Hearing Lingxi's sobs, Lu Hao's anger intensified, and he looked at the people around him, saying faintly:

“What happened?”

His tone seemed very calm, but it seemed to contain anger like a volcanic eruption!

The Grand Elder quickly got up, he knew this was his only chance.

He ignored his own injuries, quickly walked to Lu Hao, bowed, and then, at an extremely fast pace, recounted the entire story, including the ancestral teachings, Liu Yue's frame-up, the coercion by the Second Elder and others, and the Grand Elder's intervention, explaining everything in detail.

As the Grand Elder narrated, all the Elders and Disciples who had taken action began to tremble all over, like sieves.

Lu Hao fell silent after listening to the Grand Elder's narration.

He hadn't expected that Yaochi Holy Land, one of the Five Great Powers that seemed the most transcendent and refined, had already decayed to this extent internally!

He lowered his head, looking at the weak Lingxi in his arms, then raised his head again, his calm eyes now containing monstrous rage.

Someone, in front of him, bullied his woman.

“Good, very good.”

Lu Hao spoke slowly, his voice terribly low.

He carefully handed Lingxi to a Disciple nearby to look after, then he turned and faced the Second Elder, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, Liu Yue, and that Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder was the first to kneel on the ground, continuously begging for mercy:

“Mercy, Sage Lu, mercy!!! I truly didn't know Lingxi was your woman. If I had known, even if you gave me ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to scheme against her! Sage Lu, mercy!”
