“She’ll come.”

With the great battle imminent, Liuli felt the gunpowder scent gradually permeating the air, while also lifting the corners of her lips into a sickly yet coldly beautiful arc.

Her devastatingly beautiful face no longer resembled that of a sickly girl, but rather approached the nature an evil holy maiden should have—three parts seductive, seven parts evil.

“How did you suddenly get so fired up?”

Beside the red-dressed girl, Mei also raised her eyebrows, blinking her charming eyes with some curiosity.

She turned around and followed Liuli’s gaze toward Yuyan pursuing them from afar.

For a moment, Mei suddenly felt that although Yuyan and Liuli didn’t talk much, the eye contact between them seemed to contain the resentment of mutual blood feuds.

Although Mei didn’t know what specific grievances existed between Liuli and Yuyan, since the timing was right, she also simply swept away the bandages on her body, no longer planning to pretend—

“In that case, I won’t pretend either!”

“Hehe, I’ve been holding back for so long—finally there’s a durable opponent to properly cultivate some plum blossoms with!”

…

…

…

[Something’s not right…]

[These two evil cult demonesses are definitely pretending…]

Only 1 mile away from the demonic abyss frontline cliff, Yuyan flying on her sword made the above judgment in her heart.

Yuyan was naturally not a fool.

Back when that white-dressed twin-tailed demoness was beaten down, Yuyan already felt something was very wrong. She knew exactly how much substance this so-called “Jianlan Sect holy son” Zichen actually had.

With Zichen’s strength, just fighting a Nascent Soul stage red-dressed holy maiden would probably be difficult enough—how could he easily defeat that white-dressed holy maiden beside her who clearly had higher cultivation and was more flamboyant?

Yuyan came from the Western Region’s Wuji Sect, so she actually always had rich experience dealing with evil cults.

She could tell at a glance that these two Full Moon Sect holy maidens were not simple.

So… Just fighting that red-dressed holy maiden called Liuli, Yuyan was as careful as could be. Because the opponent had been maintaining a defensive posture, Yuyan also adopted the most steady approach of continuously compressing the opponent’s defensive space.

Yuyan was worried the opponent might appear weak on the surface while secretly hiding some underhanded tricks.

But now, all of Yuyan’s tactics had been disrupted by Zichen.

He directly created a scenario of great victory and hot pursuit…

In this situation, both Yuyan and Zichen held the advantage. If Zichen pursued while Yuyan didn’t follow, that would obviously be equivalent to Yuyan betraying her teammate and abandoning the best opportunity to eliminate the enemy.

Moreover, both evil cult holy maidens had fled—if Yuyan didn’t pursue, what could she accomplish by staying in Western Province City besides cleaning up a few small fry?

But if Yuyan followed Zichen’s pursuit pace, she was truly worried there must be some scheme among these two evil cult holy maidens!

“Ji Zichen, slow down first!”

Seeing that the two evil cult holy maidens at the cliff edge had prepared for battle, Yuyan hurriedly called out to scold the hothead Ji Zichen beside her.

However, her words were clearly falling on deaf ears.

“What’s there to be afraid of at this point? Can’t you see they have nowhere to escape?”

“If we don’t pursue them now, are we just going to stand here three li away and have a standoff with them?”

Zichen spoke with considerable disdain and coldness, while also accelerating the speed of his sword flight even more. Like someone who had been injected with stimulants, the Jianlan Sect holy son who had originally been lackadaisical about the evil cult crusade now seemed bursting with righteousness, directly charging to the front lines with such hatred of evil that he was even more aggressive than Yuyan.

“Tch… this idiot…”

Seeing that Zichen showed no signs of backing down, Yuyan also furrowed her brows and bit her red lips with her pearly teeth.

But every second counted on the battlefield, and urgently, she seemed to have no other options.

After all… Zichen wasn’t wrong either.

They had come to Western Province City precisely to fight the demonic abyss and crusade against evil cults.

Now, the evil cult demonesses were right there at the demonic abyss cliff at the desert’s end. Even if Yuyan worried about schemes and stood in place, what meaning would there be in both sides staring at each other across the distance? Could Yuyan kill them with long-range attacks from a mile away?

Moreover… Before this, Yuyan had already cornered Liuli.

Now, with the enemy who had plotted against Yino in the Azure Forest right before her eyes, how could Yuyan possibly stand timidly in place and watch her escape!

Forget it. With my Divine Transformation stage, even if there really is a scheme, fighting one against two shouldn’t be a problem.

And with Ji Zichen’s weak fancy moves, even if he’s the evil cult insider that Yunmei mentioned, I should be able to hold on for a while using my trump cards in a one-against-three situation.

Moreover, Yunmei has already sent victory signals from Western Province City. Surely it won’t be long before the reinforcements arrive here.

When the reinforcements arrive, no one present will be able to escape!

Having analyzed all possibilities, Yuyan’s cold eyes finally firmed with resolve.

She rode her Frost Chant sword, charging into pursuit of the battlefield.

However, the moment Yuyan confidently leaped down from high altitude on her sword, she suddenly felt the desert wasteland beneath her feet growing roots and sprouting at an extremely bizarre speed—

[Azure Source Secret Art: All Things Grow!]

“?”

Yuyan widened her eyes and couldn’t help but step back two paces, but the ground beneath her feet was still continuously growing lush branches and green leaves.

She looked up again in confusion, only to see behind the red-dressed holy maiden, there was actually a gentle girl with emerald green natural curls, her hands clasped together at her chest as she chanted softly.

“Lily, seal off this land—!”
