83: Xu Fenghua was killed in place of his brother to take the blame.

"Ah, what?"

Xu Tian's mind went blank at the sight.

The Five Experts of Qingyun were also dumbfounded. What was Fairy Xue Yue doing?

"No~" After a brief moment of panic, Xu Tian soared to dodge.

Whoosh!

A beam of yellow light enveloped him.

"Ah~"

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, indistinguishable as male or female, bloody mist rose from Xu Tian's body. Within the mist, Xu Tian's form twisted violently, sometimes changing into a man, sometimes into a woman.

Terrifying Evil Qi erupted.

"Little Brother!" Xu Fenghua was completely stunned. She had come to seek revenge and eliminate demons, but her own little brother had turned into a Devil Head.

"Yin and Yang Devil!"

"All Junior Brothers, attack and destroy the demon!" With a delicate shout, among the Seven Beauties, the smallest girl, wearing a water-green long dress, cried out. With a wave of her slender hand, a pair of ice-blue lotus flowers shot out.

Xu Fenghua: "No, all Senior Brothers, Senior Sister, please listen to me..."

The scene immediately descended into chaos. The Five Experts of Qingyun, except for Daoist Qin Ming who looked utterly bewildered, all had their swords drawn, waiting for Fairy Xue Yue's command to slay the demons.

"Thief Cao, you've harmed me again! I will never rest until one of us is dead!"

Under the illumination of the demon subduing mirror, Crown Prince Xu Tian's arms shook, transforming into a bloody afterimage, and he fled into the sky.

"Stop! This is a matter for my White Deer Academy; there's no need for you all to intervene!"

Cao Meng roared.

The next moment, the Myriad Beast Dharma Image, Kunpeng Transformation.

The kun peng dharma idol spread its wings, catching up to the fleeing blood-shadow.

Kunpeng Divine Ability, Space Lock!

Immediately, within a radius of a li, space seemed to solidify. The blood-shadow's escape technique, which could travel a thousand li in an instant, drastically slowed down, like a loach in mud, slowly wriggling its body forward.

"This, how is this possible!"

Xu Tian was dumbfounded.

What kind of Divine Ability was this?

One move had rendered his life-saving escape technique useless.

How long had it been? Had the gap already grown so wide?

"Evil creature, die!"

The kun peng dharma idol swung its sharp claws, stomping down heavily.

"No, Senior Brother Cao, spare my life..." Xu Tian cried out, "For the sake of my mother, Wu Feiyan, spare me! We are fellow Disciples!"

"What?"

On the other side, Xu Fenghua, who had secretly pulled out a jade talisman and was preparing to rescue him from danger, was stunned.

His mother, Wu Feiyan?

How could that be? Aren't we biological siblings? Father taught us that family should love each other, and as the elder sister, I should wholeheartedly assist my little brother and uphold the prestige of the Yanbei Royal Residence... But~

In that moment of hesitation.

The Kunpeng's sharp claws had already struck.

Boom!

One claw crushed Xu Tian into a pulp.

Xu Tian, destiny value -800.

destiny value +800.

The next moment, the sky-full of blood mist re-condensed, forming a malevolent Xu Tian once more.

However, even after his revival, he was still within the Kunpeng's spatial blockade.

"Senior Brother Cao, stop! I was wrong! For my mother's sake..."

Bang!

Another strike landed.

Xu Tian, destiny value -800.

destiny value +800.

The Son of Nine Lives now only had one life left.

And his destiny value had plummeted to just over a thousand points.

"Big Sister, help! Help!" Xu Tian was scared witless, looking pleadingly at Xu Fenghua in the distance.

"Stop, Thief Cao, you're looking for death!" Xu Fenghua crushed the jade talisman in her palm.

Immediately, the Incarnation of a beautiful Goddess Nun in a white robe descended, possessing Xu Fenghua.

At the same time, the Goddess Nun waved the white whisk in her hand, conjuring hundreds of silver threads that instantly tore through the kun peng dharma idol's spatial blockade, sweeping towards Cao Meng with killing intent.

"Damn it!"

Cao Meng was greatly alarmed.

What kind of treasure was this? Just as he was about to retaliate, he heard the Guardian Sacred Spirit's hoarse voice.

"Withered Grass, how dare a mere Incarnation act wildly on my territory?"

Whoosh~

The dark green gourd vine transformed into a long whip, tearing through space, and lashed down.

Boom~

The countless silver threads dissipated, but the gourd vine whip's momentum did not diminish, striking heavily upon the Goddess Nun's Incarnation.

Bang~

The Incarnation shattered, reverting to a cracked jade talisman that fell back into Xu Fenghua's hand.

"You dog, you escaped quite quickly! How unlucky~"

With Xu Fenghua's obstruction, Cao Meng's spatial blockade failed, and Xu Tian, having used some unknown escape technique, vanished in that flash of lightning.

However, after losing two lives, Xu Tian's destiny value had fallen to the level of an ordinary Genius, posing little threat to him.

Moreover, the monk may run away, but his sister cannot.

Hadn't this guy's convenient older sister delivered herself to his doorstep?

As Thief Cao, how could he not help take care of his family?

"Guardian Sacred Spirit?"

Looking at the Incarnation talisman in her hand, which had lost its spiritual essence, a trace of resentment appeared on Xu Fenghua's delicate face.

She had intended to use the Sect's Divine Talisman to eliminate this Thief Cao in one go.

Who would have thought that the White Deer Academy's Guardian Sacred Spirit would be so powerful, breaking the Sect's protective Divine Talisman with a single whip?

After giving Cao Meng a look full of hatred:

"What a White Deer Academy, calling a deer a horse! This Young Miss has truly seen it today!"

Having said that, she turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Cao Meng called out lazily.

"What, do you still want to kill this Young Miss?" Xu Fenghua looked at Cao Meng with a flushed and angry face.

"Heh heh, killing you is not necessary."

Cao Meng shook his head, "However, Young Miss Xu, you let that little devil get away, and this incident happened in my White Deer Academy. As the Lord of White Deer, This Cao cannot pretend that nothing happened."

"Lord of White Deer?"

Xu Fenghua's beautiful eyes narrowed, "Then what do you want?"

"Simple," Cao Meng waved his hand, "You let the little devil escape from my grasp, so you shall stay here. When Xu Tian turns himself in, that's when I'll release you!"

"Thief Cao, how dare you!"

Xu Fenghua was furious: "I am a Putuo Disciple! Does your White Deer Academy intend to wage war with Putuo Immortal Island?"

"Cao Meng!" Daoist Qin Ming, one of the Seven Beauties of Qingyun, flashed and blocked Xu Fenghua, "If you dare to harm Junior Sister Fenghua, my Qingyun will never rest until we have our revenge!"

"Oh, Putuo Immortal Island, Qingyun Immortal Sect, how impressive..." Cao Meng sneered, then looked at Fairy Xue Yue of Qingyun, "Fairy Xue Yue, what do you say? Shall we have a fight!"

Fairy Xue Yue glared at Thief Cao, then said to Qin Ming, "Junior Brother Qin Ming, step back!"

"Senior Sister~" Daoist Qin Ming looked at Fairy Xue Yue with great reluctance.

Fairy Xue Yue: "I said, step back!"

"Yes~" Daoist Qin Ming put away his weapon with a look of unwillingness.

Xu Fenghua looked at the Qingyun people, who were acting as mere spectators, and gritted her silver teeth: "Thief Cao, you betrayed my Junior Brother, causing my entire Yanbei Royal Residence to be massacred! I will kill you..."

Saying this, the Qinghong Sword in her palm unsheathed, bringing with it waves of sword Qi as it slashed towards Cao Meng.

"Sword Sixteen? Not up to par anymore..."

Myriad Beast Dharma Image, Kunpeng Transformation.

One claw came down, the sword waves shattered, and her slender, full body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the hard bluestone slabs of the City Lord's Mansion, spitting out two mouthfuls of fresh blood.

"She needs some discipline~"

"This guy..." Cao Meng's ruthless strike sent a chill down Fairy Xue Yue's spine. How could such a beautiful exterior harbor such a fierce inner self.
