At this moment, Xiao Ai, no matter how Ye Yun called her, received no response.
Instead, the demon god she wanted to escape from was about to strike the prelude to slaughter.
Xiao Ai, entwined with blood-red light, moved her fingers slightly. The broken sword that was supposed to be within the formation trembled violently, then flew straight out.
Since the formation's defense here was mainly to prevent outsiders from entering, it was very easy to destroy it from within. The broken sword instantly tore through several layers of formation defenses and landed in Xiao Ai's hand.
She looked at everyone with cold eyes and began to chant in a language unknown.
"npάγuαtαπoueπαναπpoσδiopίζoνtαi…"
What was astonishing was that the broken sword in her hand, which should have been shattered, began to quickly restore itself to a pristine condition as the blood-red light wrapped around it.
As expected, this was a divine sword that looked incredibly domineering.
The moment the sword body fully solidified, the air in the entire underground plaza turned a few degrees colder, and a strong scent of blood surged like a tide, threatening to engulf everyone.
"Star Lord Ye, be careful!"
Qian Qingning, who was staring at Xiao Ai, quickly reminded him.
And at this moment, Xiao Ai, holding the broken sword, erupted with divine power, her petite figure transforming into a blood-red meteor as she rushed towards Ye Yun, enveloped by the blood-red tide.
The power of this attack far surpassed that of the Celestial God from the Qianyuan Domain they had faced before.
Moreover, her speed was incredibly fast. The distance of more than ten meters was covered in the blink of an eye. Without any hesitation, she swung her sword at him.
Ye Yun's gaze narrowed. Even for him, resisting such speed would be difficult.
In this situation, he might only be able to be killed and then resurrected using his divine spark.
Just a moment before the attack landed, a white light flashed before his eyes. It was a holy white sword of light.
In an instant, it sent the Xiao Ai in front of Ye Yun flying, and a white silhouette also landed beside him.
"Thank you."
Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Qian Qingning beside him.
He had almost forgotten that he had a Celestial God-level Qian Qingning by his side.
At this moment, Xiao Ai, who had been sent flying, had stabilized her form. The killing intent on her face remained fierce, and her blood-red aura intensified, clearly preparing to attack again.
Ye Yun frowned and said to Qian Qingning, "She's acting a bit strange. I hope Star Lord Qian will show some leniency."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Qian Qingning nodded, then looked at the demon-like Xiao Ai, a flicker of white light in her beautiful eyes as she extended her jade hand.
Immediately, white swords of light materialized behind her, unfurling like a pair of white divine wings.
"Holy Sword of Light!"
Qian Qingning moved her fingers, and the white swords of light behind her shot out, transforming into a rain of swords that poured down. However, they did not attack Xiao Ai directly but instead swirled around her, constantly constricting her range of movement.
As if sensing the threat of these white swords of light, she retreated continuously until she had nowhere left to go, then madly swung her broken sword.
Empowered by the blood-red energy, she shattered one white sword of light after another, seeming to want to break through the blockade of flying swords surrounding her.
As her aura further intensified, Xiao Ai broke through the blockade of light swords with an almost brutal force.
However, at this very moment, Qian Qingning's white figure surged forward and, before Xiao Ai could stabilize herself, slammed her palm down.
White light surged from her palm, blooming within Xiao Ai's body, and her petite frame was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and becoming motionless.
The blood-red broken sword also fell, the part that had been repaired by the blood-red light dispersed into bloody mist, and the broken fragments clinked onto the ground.
Only then did the chilling killing intent and the tidal wave of blood-red light that had enveloped the underground plaza rapidly dissipate, and everything returned to normal.
"Xiao Ai!"
Ye Yun stepped forward and picked up Xiao Ai. The strange blood-red power still lingered on her.
Fortunately, as time passed, this power was constantly fading.
Xiao Ai herself had been impacted by the divine power and had temporarily lost consciousness, but she was not physically injured.
"Your disciple is quite unusual."
At this moment, Qian Qingning walked over gracefully.
Looking at Xiao Ai in Ye Yun's arms, her expression was extremely grave.
To be honest, the divine power intensity of the other party just now was even superior to her own.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party seemed completely unable to utilize it, like a baby with immense power, it might not have been so easy to subdue her.
Ye Yun looked at the sleeping Xiao Ai, his expression equally complex.
"Yes, I can't quite understand her either..."
From her ranking on the Grand Thousand World's Talent List the last time he saw her, he felt that this disciple should have something special about her.
But this sudden change had exceeded his expectations.
Fortunately, Qian Qingning was there. Otherwise, even if he could have suppressed her, he would have been injured inevitably.
Qian Qingning looked at the broken sword on the ground, reached out to grab it, and sighed as she looked at the now silent sword.
"Alas, now I'm starting to doubt whether this thing is good or bad for our Lingluo Domain."
Judging by the blood-red power it had invoked just now, this strange broken sword was by no means an ordinary item.
Perhaps one day, it would bring an unforeseen disaster to Lingluo Domain.
"Let's leave it at that for today. I'll take her back to rest. If there's nothing else, you should return to the Celestial Domain as soon as possible."
Ye Yun carried Xiao Ai and said to Qian Qingning.
"For now, it's probably best to keep her away from this thing."
"Yes, who knows what will happen next time."
Qian Qingning couldn't help but shake her head. She had always considered her knowledge vast, but now that the Grand Thousand Worlds had merged, one unknown event after another was occurring.
Afterward, she put away the broken sword and left with Ye Yun.
Returning to the original room, just as Ye Yun was about to bid farewell and leave, a golden light suddenly flew from afar.
It looked like a talisman, and it quickly landed in Qian Qingning's hand, causing her eyebrows to twitch slightly.
These dimensional communication talismans were usually only used in situations of great urgency. Had something else happened?
As she opened the talisman and read the information within, she looked at Ye Yun, who was about to leave, and said.
"By the way, Star Lord Ye, I was thinking, there's something I'm not sure if you're interested in."
"Hmm? What is it?"
Ye Yun stopped, looking at Qian Qingning with confusion.
Honestly, his mind was currently occupied with Xiao Ai's condition, worrying if there might be any further complications.
However, what Qian Qingning said next piqued his interest.
"It's like this, beyond the edge of the star domain belonging to our Lingluo Domain, a special space has just been discovered."
"Based on the situation on-site, it seems to have been left behind by the mysterious will that initially opened the Grand Thousand Worlds rankings."
"It explicitly states that it is a secret realm containing treasures, and it encourages those with fate to explore it actively."
