Within the barrier constructed by the cosmic wall, the atmosphere grew incredibly tense.
Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan dared not act rashly, only able to watch helplessly as Qing Bukong reassembled his body and recovered from his injuries.
Tai Yuan transmitted his voice to Yue Qingning, "Fairy Ying, this cannot continue. Once Qing Bukong's injuries are fully healed, not only will Emperor Ancestor die, but we will also be in peril!"
"I know, but Ye Ling, he..."
How could Yue Qingning not understand this logic? But they had fought this hard for Ye Ling. Now that Ye Ling had fallen into Qing Bukong's hands, how could she bear to let Ye Ling and Qing Bukong perish together?
Yue Qingning's elder sister also understood how serious the situation was and said to Yue Qingning, "Sister, Qing Bukong is unaware of my existence. Divide my consciousness and let me launch a surprise attack on Qing Bukong from behind. You seize the opportunity to save Ye Ling!"
Upon hearing her sister's words, Yue Qingning's expression changed slightly. "But if you do this, Sister, won't you..."
Her sister quickly said, "This is the only way. Otherwise, Ye Ling will surely die. Don't you want to save the Tianqing Dao Palace? You must sacrifice me!"
Yue Qingning then said, "I'll do it, Sister, you control my body!"
Her sister refused decisively, "No! Qing Bukong's attention is entirely on you and Tai Yuan. If you make the slightest move, he will detect it, so only I can do this!"
"No, no... I cannot accept this..." Yue Qingning's eyes reddened; she could not bear to sacrifice her sister.
Her sister smiled, "Alright... I should have died at birth. It was you, little sister, who lent me your body, allowing me to live until today. I have lived enough all these years. Let me do this one thing for you..."
"That brat Ye Ling is a promising talent. He will become your support in the future. With him, I can depart from you with peace of mind."
"No..."
Tears welled up in Yue Qingning's eyes. She wanted to refuse again, but she suddenly found the black and white lotus on her forehead activating on its own, and her sister's consciousness began to fade.
She had no control over her sister's departure!
Seeing Yue Qingning's strange expression, Qing Bukong quickly threatened, "Yue Qingning! I advise you not to play any tricks. Ye Ling's life is in my hands now. If you dare to move, Ye Ling will surely die!"
Yue Qingning's eyes were red with tears. She couldn't even hear Qing Bukong's threat; she only wanted to save her sister!
Her sister had been with her since her birth. Apart from her, no one in the world knew of her sister's existence!
Her sister had always protected her as her shadow, without even a name. Once her sister left her body this time, nothing in the world except her memories would be able to prove her sister's existence!
"No!!!"
Yue Qingning cried out, her mournful cries echoing through space. At this moment, the space behind Qing Bukong suddenly cracked open, and a sword light shot out from it!
Chii!
Qing Bukong's head was pierced again. Although Tai Yuan didn't know what had happened, he was quick-witted and immediately teleported in front of Ye Ling, seizing the opportunity to rescue Ye Ling from Qing Bukong's mouth!
"Die!!!"
Yue Qingning, now channeling all her grief into rage, unleashed all her power towards Qing Bukong!
Having lost Ye Ling as a bargaining chip, Qing Bukong had no power to resist. He could only watch as the overwhelming Chaos Qi source surged towards him.
"No!!!"
Qing Bukong's unwilling roar echoed through the starry sky. He was engulfed by the massive amount of Chaos Qi source, his soul completely annihilated!
The barrier constructed by the cosmic wall slowly dissipated, and the starry sky returned to peace.
Tai Yuan put Ye Ling down and, seeing Qing Bukong's soul scattered, sighed in relief. "Phew... finally got rid of that guy... Who helped?"
However, Yue Qingning was filled with sorrow. She stared blankly at the spatial rift from which the sword light had emerged, her eyes utterly vacant.
"Sister..."
Yue Qingning's heart was bleeding. She truly couldn't imagine a future without her sister, living alone.
That...
Was simply too lonely.
Large streams of tears flowed down Yue Qingning's cheeks, filling the starry sky with sadness.
Tai Yuan, who had been planning to celebrate with Yue Qingning, was stunned when he saw the atmosphere was wrong. He looked at Yue Qingning in confusion, not understanding why she was sad?
Yue Qingning's pain was something only she could understand at this moment.
"Silly sister, I haven't gone out yet, why are you crying?"
Suddenly, her sister's voice echoed in Yue Qingning's mind, making Yue Qingning freeze.
"Sister?" Yue Qingning thought she heard a hallucination and called out cautiously.
Her sister laughed, "That sword light wasn't me. I didn't have time to come out yet!"
"This..."
Upon hearing her sister's words, Yue Qingning looked incredulous, and soon, infinite joy surged in her heart!
This was the greatest surprise for her!
"Then who exactly made the move?" Yue Qingning looked at the spatial rift with excitement, her eyes full of gratitude.
It could be said that the person who made the move had saved her life!
"Heh... thankfully I made it in time."
At this moment, a voice more melodious than silver bells came from the spatial rift, and then Xuan Yu walked out.
Xuan Yu was no longer at the peak cultivation. The Chaos Qi source swirling around her at all times indicated that she was the Master of Chaos!
"Xuan Yu!"
Seeing that it was Xuan Yu who emerged, Yue Qingning's pupils contracted, and she was utterly shocked!
When Tai Yuan saw Xuan Yu appear, he also became as if facing a great enemy, guarding against her.
After all, when they first invaded the domain universe, it was Xuan Yu who had pursued and killed nine of them, forcing them to use illusions to hide and scatter.
Now that Xuan Yu had appeared, Tai Yuan thought she was another formidable enemy!
Seeing Yue Qingning and Tai Yuan's tense expressions, Xuan Yu smiled, "No need to be nervous. Ye Ling and I are allies. Since you have become Ye Ling's companion, I naturally will not attack you."
As she spoke, Xuan Yu summoned the unconscious Ye Ling to her side, gently covered his forehead with her hand, and chuckled, "This kid exerted too much force and consumed too much energy. He probably won't wake up for a while."
Seeing Xuan Yu holding Ye Ling, Yue Qingning's mood suddenly soured, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Yue Qingning's sister said, "Little sister... that woman is a formidable enemy. Don't let your guard down."
"Mm."
Yue Qingning nodded seriously, then asked Xuan Yu, "How long until he wakes up?"
Xuan Yu replied, "Probably ten days to half a month. It will take some time. I'll open the cosmic barrier for you two first and send you back outside the domain..."
"No, I want to wait for Ye Ling to wake up."
Yue Qingning suddenly interrupted Xuan Yu, saying decisively, which made Xuan Yu freeze.
Yue Qingning and Xuan Yu met each other's gaze, and the atmosphere in the air instantly became strange.
The auras of the two powerful individuals intertwined in the starry sky, causing space to distort.
Tai Yuan, realizing something was wrong, couldn't help but swallow and take two steps back.
This... seemed like a love triangle.
