"This scoundrel, trying to scheme against me? What a beautiful dream."
Seeing Zhi Meng's message, Jiang Yu shook her head with a smile and began to make calculations.
Soon, she replied, telling Zhi Meng to wait and that she would come after she finished her business.
As for when she would finish, of course it would be after Zhi Meng had fallen.
For now, the most important thing was to first stabilize Zhi Meng and not let her abduct women for Gu Qing, affecting the progress of their relationship.
After sending the message, Jiang Yu secretly rejoiced that she had upgraded her own communication jade separately, ignoring distance and able to receive any communication.
Otherwise, with Zhi Meng's crazy streak, she would definitely find women for Gu Qing, and she didn't know when she would get to see Zhi Meng become a discarded wife.
On the other side, Gu Qing quickly found Ye Lin.
However, to his surprise, Ye Lin was actually with Zheng Jianfeng and others.
Glancing at the charming and lively Zuo Yu'er, he understood in his heart.
Zuo Yu'er was the female lead, so how could the protagonist be missing where the female lead appeared?
Even in the vast universe, Ye Lin had tracked her down by following her scent.
"Boom!"
Ye Lin saw Zhi Meng and his eyes went wide.
Her figure was tall and imposing, her pale-white skin seemed to be glowing.
A pair of auspicious phoenix eyes looked down on the world, her aura was incomparably domineering, looking down on the universe.
Zhi Meng's beauty was too impactful, breathtakingly beautiful.
However, before Ye Lin could recover from Zhi Meng's stunning divine face, he saw Zhi Meng ruthlessly slap down with a palm.
The giant palm blotted out the sky and sun, chaotic qi filled the air.
If it fell, the flying boat's defensive formation would definitely not be able to withstand it and would be smashed to powder.
Ye Lin retracted the flying boat, grinned wickedly, and with a confident and flamboyant expression, raised a finger and sent a sword energy toward the giant palm.
With a boom, the giant palm dispersed, and Ye Lin stared directly at Zhi Meng, grinning coldly: "I say beauty, even if I'm handsome to the extreme, you don't need to be so unrestrained to come and snatch a groom, right?"
Obviously, Ye Lin had mistaken Zhi Meng for a starry sky pirate who specialized in robbing cultivators.
Having finally encountered such a world-shaking goddess, Ye Lin couldn't resist teasing her with his mouth.
As for Gu Qing beside him, he was completely ignored; right now, his eyes only had Zhi Meng's peerless divine face.
"Seeking death."
Seeing Ye Lin's disgusting smile, Zhi Meng was furious, her hand opened, and the Chaos Heavenly Knife appeared in her hand, slashing down with force, the blade's momentum unstoppable.
Looking at the dazzling knife light, Ye Lin finally changed his expression; in this single strike, he felt a deadly danger.
Ye Lin didn't dare to be careless anymore, his sixth-stage Divine Fire Realm cultivation erupted completely, his long sword erupting with hundreds of millions of thunder sword energies, ravaging the void.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zhi Meng held the upper hand, pressing Ye Lin as she fought, the snow-white knife light illuminating the boundless void.
For the time being, they couldn't tell who would win or lose.
Gu Qing's gaze fell on Zheng Jianfeng and the others, asking: "You're with him?"
"Yes."
Zheng Jianfeng subconsciously replied, only realizing something was wrong after speaking, and quickly added: "I was just riding his flying boat, we have no relationship, I didn't even know him before."
All of this happened too suddenly.
Even now, he still didn't understand what was going on.
However, there must be a reason for this, and Zheng Jianfeng dared not get involved.
After all, Gu Qing had saved his fellow disciples' lives.
If it weren't for Gu Qing and Zhi Meng generously giving him nine immortal pills, his fellow disciples would not have been alive.
Zuo Yu'er looked with sparkling eyes; she had never seen such a handsome man as Gu Qing.
Especially that noble and gentle temperament like jade, which was not possessed by the sword cultivators in her sect.
Hearing Gu Qing's question, Zuo Yu'er also spoke.
"Senior Brother is right, we have nothing to do with this shameless person."
"Junior Sister, Junior Brother, this is our benefactor, Alchemist Gu." Zheng Jianfeng transmitted his voice.
Hearing this, several people's eyes lit up, looking at Gu Qing with grateful expressions.
Zuo Yu'er blurted out: "Alchemist Gu, you're the Alchemist Gu who gave Senior Brother immortal pills..."
"I didn't expect Alchemist Gu to be so handsome and talented, it's really not noticeable."
In her impression, alchemy masters should all be old men with white beards, how could there be such a handsome alchemy master like Gu Qing!
"..."
Was this praise or sarcasm?
"I apologize, Alchemist Gu, my junior sister is simple-minded and may have offended you, please forgive her."
Zheng Jianfeng's expression changed, and he quickly cupped his fists and bowed to apologize.
"It's fine."
Gu Qing shook his head; he could see that Zuo Yu'er was a naive and innocent female lead.
"Since you have nothing to do with Ye Lin, then you can go kill him."
"What?" Several people were stunned.
"Unwilling?"
If these people were unwilling, he wouldn't mind killing them all together.
Zheng Jianfeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Although he didn't want to make a move, Gu Qing had saved their lives, and this favor had to be repaid no matter what.
"Junior Brother, come with me to kill Ye Lin."
"Alright!"
With Zheng Jianfeng's order, two Junior Brothers at the seventh level of the Divine Fire Realm attacked without hesitation.
They had disliked Ye Lin for a long time; he stared at their Junior Sister with lecherous eyes all day, simply hateful.
"Strange." Gu Qing muttered to himself, these people were clearly from the protagonist's camp, so why did they act as if they were killing their father's enemy?
"Thank you, Alchemist Gu, for saving our lives."
Arriving in front of Gu Qing, Zuo Yu'er's delicate face flushed red, her watery almond eyes blinking.
Her snow-white skin had a charming luster, delicate and charming.
"Saved your lives?" Gu Qing was somewhat confused.
When had he saved these people?
He himself didn't know.
"I was poisoned..." Seeing this, Zuo Yu'er briefly explained the cause and effect.
After hearing this, Gu Qing fell silent.
When had saving lives become so cheap?
Perhaps, this was the fate of a supporting character.
The protagonist helps a little, and it becomes a life-saving grace, only to be repaid with their life, possibly even implicating their sect and family.
Shaking his head, Gu Qing couldn't be bothered to think more, and said: "You should go too."
When besieging the protagonist, how could the female lead be missing?
"Ah? Oh."
Zuo Yu'er muddledly raised her sword and charged forward.
"Rumble!"
Endless sword qi and jade blade light shattered Ye Lin's body into ten thousand pieces. After reconstructing his physical body, his energy was depleted, and he stared at Zheng Jianfeng and the others with fire in his eyes.
"Zheng Jianfeng, I kindly saved you all. Instead of being grateful, you betrayed me. Could it be that you are with her?"
"Are you Star Thieves?"
"No."
Zheng Jianfeng was ruthless and said little, attacking directly.
All of them were true disciples of the Tai Xuan Sword Sect, prodigies famous in their respective domains, their combat strength far exceeding their peers.
Therefore, with several of them joining forces, Ye Lin had no chance to fight back, his physical body being blown apart time and again.
He didn't even have the opportunity to use escape techniques to flee.
"Stop! Since you're not Star Thieves, I kindly gave you passage. You can't repay kindness with enmity, can you?"
Ye Lin's divine soul twisted, his physical body completely destroyed, as he cried out in terror.
He was still confused at this point.
He couldn't understand what Zhi Meng's background was or what grudge she had with him.
And what about Zheng Jianfeng and the others? Why would they help Zhi Meng?
He had been triumphantly flirting with the innocent and lovely Zuo Yu'er just moments ago, how could he be facing death and dissolution in an instant?
"Pah, you shameless scoundrel, how dare you say that."
Speaking of this, Zuo Yu'er's face was filled with anger.
Ye Lin was too greedy. The price for others to ride his flying boat was at most several to ten thousand immortal crystals.
Ye Lin, on the other hand, directly demanded a Tribulation Pill, an Immortal Origin Pill, and an additional ten thousand immortal crystals from each person.
These were life-saving immortal pills that were difficult to obtain even with immortal crystals.
Ye Lin was simply treating them like fat sheep to be slaughtered.
Zuo Yu'er's heart was bleeding.
If it were before, she definitely wouldn't have cared about a mere few tens of thousands of immortal crystals and two immortal pills.
But now, after experiencing life and death trials, she deeply understood that these were life-saving treasures.
Moreover, these immortal crystals were all earned at the cost of Senior Brothers' lives, accumulated bit by bit through life-and-death battles with demonic beasts and conflicts with fellow cultivators.
