Chapter 41: The Female Villain... Finally Arrives!:
In the distance, Ji Ziruo and the other twelve elders launched their attack simultaneously.
Thirteen powerful auras of Heaven Realm cultivators shot into the sky. Even the Silver-Winged Demon Dragon, at the Divine Emperor Realm, didn't dare to take this lineup lightly.
With a thunderous roar, its enormous wings spread out, creating a storm of lightning.
The dragon's massive body soared into the air, and then bolts of lightning and fire erupted across the sky, heading toward Ji Ziruo and her companions.
Facing the dragon's fierce attack, Ji Ziruo and the twelve elders unleashed their spiritual Qi to its fullest.
The battle erupted instantly, filling the heavens with powerful shockwaves.
The sky cracked, the earth trembled, and waves of destructive force swept across the Purple Moon Immortal Sect, leaving devastation in their wake.
Far from the sect, eight figures stood quietly. "It's begun, just as expected," Hua Luoshuang observed, clad in her silver-white battle armor. Her cloak billowed in the wind, and she held a red-tasseled spear, gazing into the distance.
Hua Jintian nodded. "Everything is unfolding as His Majesty predicted. I still can't fathom how he knew the demons would appear here."
"His Majesty is always foresighted." Hua Luoshuang replied proudly, firmly believing in Ling Ye's omnipotence.
"Should we act now?" someone asked from behind.
"Not yet. We wait for His Majesty's command." Hua Jintian answered. Ling Ye had foretold Ling Youyun's appearance here, so they would bide their time until his order came.
...
Within the Purple Moon Immortal Sect, lightning and fire engulfed the sky.
Shockwaves emanated from the chaos, with the Silver-Winged Demon Dragon launching frenzied attacks. Ji Ziruo and the twelve elders were fully engaged, struggling to contain the beast.
Seeing the devastation wrought upon the sect, Ji Ziruo felt a pang of sorrow. Though there were no casualties, the destruction was heart-wrenching.
"Spirit-Splitting Chains! Restrain it!"
She commanded, forming hand seals in mid-air.
Soon, a burst of spiritual Qi followed, and a purple chain shot out, binding the dragon's neck.
The other elders followed suit, each unleashing their Spirit-Splitting Chains, which flew out in various colors to entangle the dragon's wings, tail, and limbs.
With a collective effort, thirteen chains tightened around the beast, rendering it immobile.
The dragon's blood-red eyes glared at Ji Ziruo and her companions, but despite its struggles, it couldn't break free. Though their combined strength could barely hold it, killing it was beyond their capability. They could only restrain the dragon, not destroy it.
As Ji Ziruo and the others held their chains taut, she glanced toward Purple Moon Peak, wondering why Ling Ye hadn't intervened yet.
With his power, he could easily slay the dragon alone.
What was he waiting for?
...
Just then, a low hum echoed across the sky.
A black line appeared, vertically splitting the heavens as if to cut the world in half.
Dark mist seeped from the crack, drawing everyone's gaze.
"What is that?" Ji Ziruo and the others stared at the black line, a sense of unease creeping over them.
Ling Ye, observing from afar, couldn't help but smirk.
The villainess... finally arrived!
With the appearance of the black line, an eerie silence fell over the battlefield.
Even the restrained dragon ceased its struggles, its blood-red eyes fixed on the ominous crack.
Everyone watched intently as the black line suddenly tore open, like a pair of dark eyes snapping open. The darkness twisted and writhed, and a strange, indescribable aura filled the air, making many instinctively tense up.
What was this?
A sense of foreboding gripped everyone. The world seemed to hold its breath.
From the twisted darkness, a bewitching figure, with blood-red eyes and bare feet, stepped out, walking gracefully in the air...
