556: Chapter 556: It’s so cool to get the wool

Chapter 556: This is a satisfying haul!

Within the space.

At the center of the collision, the light was dazzling!

It only lasted for an instant!

"Pfft—!"

Ye Mu was struck as if by lightning, his face instantly turning ashen!

He felt as if he had been directly hit by a burning star.

The immense, irresistible, and sacred power transmitted through the Immortal Emperor Seal, carrying a tyrannical force that purified all things, instantly destroyed his protective immortal essence and heavily slammed into his internal organs!

He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs, and his entire body, like a kite with a broken string, was violently sent flying!

The dark-gold seal in his hand let out a mournful cry, its light dimming, as it flew out of his grasp and heavily smashed into the cracking mountain in the distance!

"Bang!"

Ye Mu's body also heavily crashed onto the ruined ground of the valley, his aura extremely weak.

He struggled to stand up but spat out another mouthful of blood, only able to half-kneel on the ground, looking up in utter horror at the beautiful figure standing in the air, holding a sword.

The dust and energy turbulence slowly dissipated.

Ling Yun floated in the air, her moon-white long dress fluttering in the energy storm, the Sacred Emperor Sword pointed diagonally towards the ground, its tip flowing with a cold radiance.

A layer of frost covered her peerless face, and her clear eyes were now as cold as knives, looking down coldly at the disheveled Ye Mu below.

"You…who exactly are you?!"

Ye Mu's voice was hoarse, filled with unbelievable shock and dread.

He never expected that within this demonic creature, such a terrifying existence was hidden!

She wielded an Immortal Emperor Weapon, and her cultivation was unfathomable!

Just one sword strike completely crippled him!

If not for the Immortal Emperor Weapon protecting him, he would probably have been annihilated!

And at this moment, seeing Ling Yun's breathtaking beauty and unparalleled sacred aura up close, Ye Mu, in addition to his fear, involuntarily felt a strong sense of admiration and… an inexplicable stir.

This feeling came so suddenly that he himself was astonished.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu's spiritual phantom floated nearby, looking at Ye Mu, who was spitting blood below, and Ling Yun, who was like a goddess of war in the air, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

"This little white rabbit… she's really fierce when she gets angry! As expected of the female lead!"

At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that his previous strategy had worked; establishing this "sincere" persona was truly worth it!

Of course, what excited him the most was that the plot of the male and female leads meeting… seemed to have been twisted by him again.

What should have originally sparked a love story had now become a scene of standing in opposition.

"Hmph, you don't need to know who I am. Either get lost, or… die!"

Ling Yun's eyes were cold, devoid of any emotion.

At this moment, she was in her normal state, a serene and aloof beauty.

Not everyone could make her state of mind change like Lin Yu did.

"You… Hehe, you can let me go, but return my brother to me, otherwise…"

Ye Mu stumbled to his feet.

He was so choked by Ling Yun's words that he almost spat blood again.

But then, as if he suddenly thought of something, his expression became confident.

At the same time, he pointed at Ye Feng, who was beside Lin Yu.

"What will you do?"

Ling Yun frowned, looking at Ye Mu's smile, she felt increasingly disgusted.

"Your strength is greater than mine, but this demonic whale outside is suppressed by my Ye Family! If you don't hand over my brother, I have a way to make this demonic whale directly self-detonate!"

Ye Mu stated his threat.

He could tell that this beautiful woman, who even amazed him, probably lived here for a long time.

So, he thought of this idea.

The self-detonation of an Immortal King Great Perfection, and one with spatial attributes at that.

Even if this woman had strength comparable to a half-step Immortal Emperor, she definitely couldn't withstand it.

Serious injury was inevitable, and she might even perish directly.

Facing such a threat, he didn't believe this woman could remain so calm.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun's delicate brows furrowed even tighter.

She looked at the crack above the valley.

That was this person's reliance for his confidence.

If he wanted to retreat, she couldn't stop him.

As for the demonic whale's self-detonation, it actually didn't threaten her.

She had her own way to leave here unharmed, as she had lived here for a long time.

However…

Her gaze involuntarily fell on Lin Yu.

She could leave, but Lin Yu couldn't.

Not only could this spiritual consciousness not leave, but his main body outside was also the same.

For some reason, she hesitated.

"Fairy sister, I'm fine. I can't beat this guy whose face is thicker than a city wall, but I can still leave here safely. You don't have to worry about me!"

Lin Yu saw Ling Yun's gaze and understood almost instantly.

So, he immediately gave a reply.

As he spoke, he winked at Ling Yun, looking somewhat carefree.

"Pfft~~"

Ling Yun was amused by Lin Yu and instantly couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In such a serious situation, this guy was still so mischievous!

And that "Fairy sister"... how could he say it? Wasn't he embarrassed at all? His skin wasn't just thick; it was exceptionally so.

However, she felt no aversion in her heart; instead, her cheeks flushed slightly, after all, these were Lin Yu's heartfelt words.

How could she blame him!

Of course, her worry also lessened considerably at this moment.

As long as Lin Yu had the ability to protect himself, she could let go.

So, when she turned her gaze back to Ye Mu, the hesitation in her eyes had vanished, replaced by coldness and sharpness!

Although she didn't speak, her meaning was already very clear.

Seeing this, Ye Mu felt a surge of anger with nowhere to vent.

Not only because he couldn't rescue his brother Ye Feng, but also because of Lin Yu's indifferent attitude.

One must know, this was his home ground, this was the forbidden area of the Ye Family.

How dared this guy be so arrogant?

Most importantly, this woman actually trusted that scoundrel's words so much.

Also, how could this woman be so hypocritical?

One second she was smiling at Lin Yu, the next she became an ice queen when facing him.

To be honest, when he saw this woman, he actually didn't have many hostile thoughts.

Her aura was too ethereal.

It even made his heart feel… a liking.

She was the first woman in so many years who made his heart stir.

But this woman's smile was not for him, but for his enemy—Lin Yu.

This added an inexplicable sense of frustration to his already angry mood from not being able to rescue Ye Feng.
