Chapter 290: Chapter 172: Breakthrough! Breakthrough! _2 Chapter 290: Chapter 172: Breakthrough! Breakthrough! _2 Cheng Xuanying had a smile on her face that wasn’t quite a smile.

She was well aware of the relationship between Liu Luoxin and Lu Li.

Seeing Lu Li’s cultivation rise steadily, with a Golden Core anticipated, she was also very pleased.

The Flowers Sect would soon strengthen once again.

Today, upon hearing that her disciple had come to report Lu Li seeking an audience, she immediately left seclusion, which was proof of the importance she placed on the matter.

“Please, Elder Cheng, lend your aid in rescuing my Daoist couple.”

Lu Li bowed, a look of respect on his face.

He didn’t pretend anymore, he laid his cards on the table, for the Flowers Sect had long been aware of their relationship.

“Has something happened on the Island of Tranquil Jade?”

Cheng Xuanying’s face showed surprise upon hearing this.

Lu Li shook his head with a resolute expression.

He then relayed the entire event of the battle between good and evil, including how Sage Qing Song had betrayed them at a critical moment, leaving no detail out.

“What!”

Cheng Xuanying’s face showed shock, then anger that she could no longer hide.

The atmosphere around her body surged wildly, making Lu Li feel as if a giant mountain pressed on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

“Wait for me to take the Sect Treasure, the Divine Mirror, and I will set out immediately to assist Sister Liu.”

Cheng Xuanying’s pretty face had a hint of ruthlessness.

“You can wait for me outside the Sect for a short while.”

The group of Golden Core Venerables had relied on each other for over a thousand years, supporting each other like sisters; hearing this news, murderous intent boiled within them.

After she spoke, she immediately walked towards the exit of the cave.

Lu Li followed close behind.

Exiting the cave, Cheng Xuanying rode her tunneling light towards a spiritual peak beside her, flying quickly.

She passed through layers of mountains.

Soon, she had disappeared from Lu Li’s sight.

…

Within the influence of the Flowers Sect.

Above an unfamiliar body of water.

Liu Luoxin and her companions were flying at high speed, their auras extremely disordered.

A group of Demon Cultivators consistently followed behind them.

Just as they prepared to fight to the death, suddenly there was movement up ahead.

Two white-robed women were flying towards them as fast as lightning.

Their auras soared, kicking up layers of mist.

Liu Luoxin’s expression lit up with joy upon seeing this.

“It’s Senior Sister Cheng and Senior Sister Dong; our reinforcements have arrived.”

Everyone’s faces showed relief; after a tough journey, they had finally persisted.

In a moment, Cheng Xuanying and the other arrived in front of Liu Luoxin, and upon seeing the situation, they showed killing intent towards the group of Demon Cultivators behind.

“Little Sister, how are your injuries?”

Liu Luoxin frowned, “Not very optimistic, I’ve exhausted too much Essence Blood.”

As the two conversed, the group of Demon Cultivators caught up and settled a short distance away on the sea.

Their sinister auras permeated the air, raising giant waves.

“Kill!”

Cheng Xuanying didn’t waste any words and attacked immediately, with an earth-shattering move.

She immediately brought out an extraordinary round mirror Magic Treasure, and under the full activation of her Mana, the brilliance was dazzling, making even the sun in the sky seem dim in comparison.

In an instant, a streak of pure white light, as quick as lightning and carrying a force of righteous energy, struck towards the many Demon Cultivators ahead.

“Not good, it’s the Sect Treasure of the Flowers Sect, the Divine Mirror.”

Hun Shang and the others showed fear on their faces.

This treasure was a product of pure Yang and was the most effective at restraining them, the Demon Cultivators.

The Demon Cultivators quickly raised their Defensive Magical Treasures above their heads, with light cascading down, flowing around their bodies.

“Boom, boom…”

The pure white light struck hard against a mid-aged Demon Cultivator’s Treasure Cauldron.

His Defensive Treasure Cauldron was broken instantly, its light dimming as it fell towards the bottom of the sea.

Then, without losing momentum, the light struck the man’s body as he looked on in terror.

“Ah…”

A scream rang out as the mid-aged Demon Cultivator’s body was instantly charred, emitting puffs of thick smoke that were extremely pungent.

With one blow, a Golden Core Cultivator affiliated with the Heavenly Demon Sect fell on the spot.

“Retreat.”

Seeing this, Hun Shang’s face showed fear, and he immediately turned to fly towards the sea behind him.

Pursuing would be difficult given their significant Mana depletion, and victory was uncertain if they continued to battle.

The group of Demon Cultivators quickly followed, soon disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Cheng Xuanying slowly let out a breath of relief and didn’t give chase.

Although the Spiritual Treasure in her hands was powerful, it also consumed a considerable amount of Mana. That one strike had used up about twenty percent of her own strength.

This incredible effect was possible because the opponents were not at their prime.

Chasing them recklessly could possibly lead to unwanted complications.

Just then, a streak of blue tunneling light rapidly flew towards them.

In just a few breaths, it reached Liu Luoxin, revealing a handsome young man.

It was Lu Li, who had rushed over.

“Are you okay?”

Seeing Liu Luoxin looking pale and her aura in disarray, Lu Li’s face showed tenderness.

Liu Luoxin managed a faint smile, “I’m fine, thanks to you for bringing help. Otherwise, it would’ve been hard for us to fight our way back.”

After speaking, she took out a Healing Pill and swallowed it, but then her body could no longer hold up and started to sway.

Lu Li quickly went forward to hold Liu Luoxin in his arms, feeling the warmth beside him, his heart boiling with murderous intent.

One day, when he reached the Golden Core, he would settle scores with the major Demon Sects.

His Daoist couple had already expended some of her Golden Core essence when they were creating their world, and now she had used a substantial amount of Essence Blood, which was likely to be detrimental to her future path.

“Let’s return to the Sect immediately, Sister Liu needs to heal as soon as possible…”

Cheng Xuanying and the other stood on the sea’s surface, visibly concerned.

Xue Jingshi and the others bowed, showing gratitude, “Thank you for your aid, we are deeply grateful.”

Cheng Xuanying smiled and returned the gesture, “We all belong to the righteous path, and with the Demon Sects attacking, we hope for more support from all fellow cultivators.”

After a brief exchange, Xue Jingshi and the others bid farewell and left.

Lu Li held Liu Luoxin as they quickly tunneled towards the direction of their Sect.

The two clung to each other tightly, crossing the vast sea surface, with the wind howling, stirring up layers of mist and fog.
