Seeing someone rushing towards her, Bai Miao Miao's face turned pale; she hadn't done anything! Jiang Bai's expression darkened. Even though he knew he might die, he stepped forward, intending to protect Bai Miao Miao. But his body was suddenly yanked back, and at the same time, Yu Yue was pushed in front of Bai Miao Miao by a powerful force.
In the shadows, Yun Zhi Yue held Jiang Bai tightly. Urgently addressing Yu Yue, he said, "She's just a woman; give her to them and come over quickly. I can find you someone prettier."
Yu Yue remained unfazed. The others in the group clearly saw Yun Zhi Yue's underhanded tactics and scoffed, "Pathetic."
Just as Yun Zhi Yue thought, this person was incredibly arrogant and didn't give Yu Yue a chance to react. One of them gathered Underworld Power to use Gou Hun Suo, aiming it at Yu Yue.
Yu Yue naturally wouldn't wait to die. She met the attack with her silver chain but was swiftly overwhelmed and shattered. Not only did the attack break through, but the binding on her body also began to collapse. The crowd watched in shock; this was Yu Yue from the Top Ten List!
The black hook pierced through flesh, and the next step would be to extract or tear apart her soul, depending on the messenger's intent. This messenger seemed uninterested in the soul of a mere ant and aimed to crush it directly.
However, he turned pale when he realized that the strength of her soul was far beyond what he could handle. Yun Zhi Yue shouted desperately, "Hurry and collect Wu Lan! Do you want to die?"
But it was too late for those words. A purple light flickered in Yu Yue's eyes as she ignored the blood spilling from her mouth and grasped the Gou Hun Suo with her bare hands. The purple aura surged like countless thorns, piercing through to tear apart the man who had attacked her. His body disintegrated into countless pieces in a moment of terror, leaving not a trace behind.
Yun Zhi Yue ran over with a pale face, standing helplessly where the remnants had vanished. What should they do now? The man was dead; would the Ten Halls of Yama hold her accountable? It had nothing to do with her! She was just following orders—oh, how unlucky she felt!
Tears streamed down her face as she cried realistically. Bai's expression darkened as he glanced at Yu Yue, who was injured and bleeding on the ground, supported by the World Protagonist behind her.
He pulled Yun Zhi Yue aside into a corner and said irritably, "Stop crying for now. Is he from the Celestial Realm? What exactly did the Three Great Ones ask you to do?"
Yun Zhi Yue replied pitifully, "The Three Great Ones just said someone was looking for her Reincarnation to undergo tribulation. The person is of noble status and instructed me to guard here; I don’t know anything else!"
Bai's expression grew even grimmer. If they could mobilize Reincarnation from the Three Great Ones and wield spiritual power, they must be someone formidable from the Celestial Realm. While it might not matter if they died, he needed World Protagonist Qi Yun—were they close?
Yun Zhi Yue blinked and said, "It's just that he likes that girl, but she likes someone else. That's the situation."
"You can see he's putting himself in danger; that shows he's determined. If you force him, it might not end well. What do you want Qi Yun for? Let me see if I can help you."
"Forget it. Don't ask about our matters. The more you know, the quicker you'll die. I never expected to run into Fortune's Female Protagonist anyway. Let's stick to the old methods. Keep an eye on that Reincarnator and make sure he doesn't ruin my plans."
Yun Zhi Yue nodded repeatedly, assuring that he would not let anything go wrong.
"I really admire you, Yun Zhi Yue. With your skills, you should be a spy in the heavenly realm; it would be a waste otherwise. Even I, who knows everything, almost believed your story logic."
"Hehe, it's no big deal."
After their conversation ended, the person who had killed their teammate, Ming Di, remained silent and returned to their position on the second floor with the others, waiting for the rest without any further inquiries or threats.
Their small team of nine found a place to settle down. Bai Miao Miao noticed that Yu Yue's chest was still bleeding and took care of his wound with a simple bandage.
