However, before the whip could fall, Lin Qi directly unleashed the sword intent of life and death!

The black and white sword intent was like two sharp, long swords, charging towards Palace Six with a menacing aura.

The icy cold of the condensed whip shattered in an instant.

Gong Liu was caught off guard. The sword intent of life and death landed in her hands, striking her hard and leaving two distinct bloodstains on her arm.

After being thrown to the ground, Gong Liu took a long time to regain his senses.

After a moment of stunned silence, pain surged through him.

She looked at Lin Qi incredulously: "You actually..."

The voice stopped abruptly midway.

Just how long has it been?

Lin Qi's cultivation level actually went from the initial stage of Divine Transformation to the Great Accomplishment of Great Perfection?!

This cultivation speed, even in the Profound Heaven Realm, is not slow.

Gong Liu hadn't finished speaking when Lin Qi's figure stepped forward again, the Emperor Phoenix Sword in his hand gleaming with a cold light.

Thousands of sword qi swirled and condensed in the void, shattering layer upon layer of restrictions as they surged toward Palace Six's vital points.

Palace Six's long whip whirled gracefully in her hand, leaving a trail of afterimages as it shattered one sword qi after another.

Ke Lin Qi's sword qi was several times stronger than she had expected.

The whip struck the sword qi, bringing immense backlash.

After a round of attacks, Palace Six's hands trembled slightly.

She had already begun to feel hesitant.

How could Ke Lin Qi give her a chance to return?

With both hands pinching the seal, they mobilized the remaining celestial energy within their body and slowly cast a single Emperor Phoenix Seal!

Gong Liu was unwilling to show weakness, and also clasped her hands together in a seal.

Her celestial energy within had not been consumed too much, so she directly drew out the celestial energy from Yuan Ying's location and performed the Triple Emperor Phoenix Seal.

Two gigantic Imperial Phoenix Seals hovered in the void.

Boom!

A dull sound, like thunder exploding in the ear, reverberated, almost piercing the eardrum and penetrating the heart.

The ice phoenix's cries echoed endlessly.

Every howl of the Ice Phoenix is the result of two Divine Phoenix Seals colliding.

Two powerful forces suddenly collided and tore, splitting Yunhuang Tiangong into two separate spaces.

Visibly, Lin Qi's Di Huang Yin aura became stronger, gradually suppressing Gong Liu's Di Huang Yin.

This is also something that Gong Liu can't understand!

Why can Lin Qi's single Emperor Phoenix Seal suppress her own triple Emperor Phoenix Seals!

Suddenly, she widened her eyes and stared at the ice phoenix markings on Lin Qi's face, beginning to count them meticulously.

One, two, three...six!

Upon realizing that Lin Qi was burdened with six Dao Purple Phoenix Marks, Gong Liu was instantly stunned.

She finally realized that she couldn't possibly be Lin Qi's match.

Due to the suppression of the Cangwu Realm, their cultivation levels might be similar, but the Phoenix Mark directly enhances the cultivator's core body and strengthens their bloodline power, manifesting in all aspects.

Six dark purple phoenix patterns overwhelmed her four.

Palace Six's eyes flashed with panic, she suddenly turned to Palace Three who was watching the play, "Third Sister, save me!"

Gong San's lips still held a faint smile, watching the play calmly with no intention of intervening.

Lin Qi increased her strength, and the Di Huang Yin crushed a corner of Gong Liu's Di Huang Yin.

Gong Liu was backlashed and spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

One step lost, and then every step is lost.

Lin Qi's Emperor Phoenix Seal completely crushed Gong Liu's Emperor Phoenix Seal.

In a moment of panic, Gong Liu could only desperately pull out her treasure from her person to defend herself.

All these artifacts imbued with the aura of celestial immortals were restricted by the Heavenly Dao of the Cangwu Realm… without exception.

Gong Liu, from birth to now, felt the breath of death so close for the first time.

The Emperor's Seal on her head slowly descended, and immense pressure bore down upon her.

Along with the pain, there is also humiliation and torment.

Palace Six exerted every ounce of her strength to resist, yet mouthful after mouthful of fresh blood still gushed from her mouth. Her chest felt as though it had been caved in, and her whole body was contorted at an unnatural angle.

If the Empress Seal truly fell, she would be close to death.

Realizing this, Palace Six panicked.

She gritted her teeth and crushed a jade pendant, her blood-stained fingertips drawing a symbol in the air.

Far away in the Heavenly Palace, Palace Five suddenly sensed Palace Six's distress signal and was taken aback.

He glanced at the woman above him, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Gong Shaojun sat high on the throne, looking down at Gong Wu. His glazed eyes were as still as water.

"Xiaowu, you seem to be very nervous?"

"No, not at all."

Gong Wu was under immense pressure from Gong Shaojun while also trying to figure out how to save Gong Liu. His mind was overwhelmed and couldn't come up with a solution.

"If you don't have one, then answer my question."

A casual remark, like a gentle breeze and clear skies, landed on Gong Wu, yet felt like a thousand jun of pressure.

Palace Five’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat, he could only bow and say, “Reporting to Your Majesty, this incident in the prison happened because the Third Sister was a bit troubled and deliberately caused some commotion to torment us.”

This answer seems unreliable, but it fits the character of Shang San well.

After all, before Palace Third was busy, he loved doing this kind of thing.

Yes, the eighteen layers of hell were established by Guanyin to imprison those who committed sins.

"She hadn't caused a stir in three thousand years." Gong Shaojun spoke calmly, stating a fact.

Before Gong Wu could think of a way to cover it up, Gong Shaojun added, "I heard that before she made a scene, Xiao Liu visited your palace?"

Palace Wu suddenly raised his head, meeting Palace Shaojun's gaze, as if everything about him had been seen through.

Palace Five is now like an ant on a hot pot, suffering terribly.

He and Gong Liu certainly didn't have any sibling affection.

But since Palace Six sent a distress signal, she must be undergoing a life-or-death crisis.

If he didn't make a move, if something happened to Palace Six in the future, his mother would definitely be able to find clues after an investigation.

At that time, Gongwu would still be unavoidable from a severe punishment. It's possible that he would even be held responsible for half of Gongliu's death.

If the truth were told at this moment, perhaps Palace Six could still be saved.

Even if I get punished, it's no big deal.

Gong Wu yi thought of Gong San being suppressed in the dungeon for tens of thousands of years and couldn't help but shiver. He suddenly knelt down.

"Mother, I have something to tell you!"

In this Dihuang Palace, Gong Wu had never dared to call the young master of the palace "mother." This time, he was in a hurry and blurted it out.

Gong Shaojun didn't mind, his eyes still calm. "Go on."

"Liumei is in mortal danger right now!"

Gong Wu gritted his teeth and, with a heavy heart, confessed everything Gong Liu had done.

From deliberately striking the door of his palace, seeking to discuss how to deal with Lin Qi, sending Yun Huang Tian Gong to Cang Wu Realm, and even mentioning that Palace Three had become restless because of it, all were spoken out.

After all, it will be discovered sooner or later. It's better to confess early and seek leniency.

Not everyone has the courage to be like Gong San, making their own destiny.

However, Palace Five still cleverly used the charm of language to exonerate himself. Everything he did was for "sibling affection."

Gong Shaojun, after hearing this, only gave him a faint glance.

"Bring the person back."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Palace Five felt as if he had been imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years and finally released. There was a sense of ease in his bones.
