As soon as the words were spoken, Lii Huan Zhenren formed a hand seal, and a ring-shaped magical artifact rose from behind her.

As it continued to spin, it emitted a bright light and shot toward the distant loose cultivators intent on killing them.

Meanwhile, in a hidden palace nearby, several pairs of bright eyes were watching the battle outside.

Leading them were none other than Princess Yaoshi and Princess Langhuan.

Apart from the two of them, there were several figures as well, namely Zheng Yi’s children with spirit roots.

"Elder sister, let’s act quickly! This is an excellent opportunity!"

Princess Langhuan exclaimed excitedly, "Father always said he would take us out to train, but he never found the opportunity. Now is the best opportunity!"

"This..."

Princess Yaoshi was somewhat hesitant. Looking back at her sisters, she said, "The cultivation of these loose cultivators outside isn’t high, but in terms of combat experience and mindset, they far surpass us."

"I think we should wait for father..."

"Elder sister!"

Princess Langhuan was anxious. After finally finding an opportunity, how could she let it slip away?

Besides, Xu Fengxiong and Zheng Chengwen were surely engaging in battle with these loose cultivators right now.

If they kept hiding in the bedchamber, how would they not be ridiculed later?

"Elder sister, we have so many top-grade magical artifacts that father bestowed upon us, and even top-grade ones. As long as we’re careful, how can we fear this group of loose cultivators?"

"Father once said that as cultivators, we should challenge the heavens. If we don’t even dare to act against mere loose cultivators now, how can we continue progressing on the path of cultivation?"

"Elder sister, you’re not afraid, are you?"

Faced with her sister’s provocation technique, Princess Yaoshi remained unmoved.

However, recalling father’s face and eyes, Princess Yaoshi immediately made up her mind.

"We can act, but you must agree to a few terms."

Langhuan’s expression lit up with joy, and she hurriedly said, "I agree, I agree!"

"First, only Langhuan and I will take action this time. The others must stay here!"

"Why, elder sister!"

Princess Xiuyuan was anxious. She was ten years old too, and her cultivation had reached the middle-stage Qi Cultivation. Why couldn’t she take action?

Princess Lingxiao, standing by, also puzzled, said, "Elder sister, we also have the top-grade magical artifacts father gave us. If we could act together..."

Princess Yaoshi shook her head, "No, both of your cultivation levels are only at the fifth-layer Qi Cultivation, unlike Langhuan who has reached the sixth layer."

"Besides, she is equipped with a top-grade defensive magical artifact, making her stronger than you two."

"Moreover, if you leave, who will protect Chengqian and the others?"

Behind the girls were seven young figures, namely Zheng Chengqian, Zheng Chengzhao, and Zheng Chengyue.

They had only embarked on cultivation for about a year, with their cultivation still in the early-stage Qi Cultivation.

In case of an attack from loose cultivators, going out would be tantamount to seeking death.

"This..."

Princess Xiuyuan hesitated, while Princess Langhuan quickly smirked, "Okay okay, stop arguing. Let’s settle it like this!"

"Xiuyuan and Lingxiao stay here to protect the brothers, while elder sister and I go out to slay the enemy!"

"Quick quick quick..."

"There’s a second condition!"

Yaoshi interrupted Langhuan, continuing, "Secondly, you must activate the defensive magical artifacts at all times, watch out for sneak attacks!"

"Keeping the defensive magical artifacts activated? But it drains so much magical power, if..."

"Hmm?"

"Okay okay, I agree, I agree, will that suffice elder sister."

Princess Yaoshi paused in silence for a moment. Since father had not specifically assigned anyone to protect them, he probably intended for this to be a training experience for them.

As long as they were careful enough...

Thinking of this, she nodded, "All right, let’s move."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Princess Langhuan opened the door and rushed out.

Midway, she formed hand seals with both hands, and her colorful robe fluttered with no wind, instantly flashing with light.

Princess Yaoshi saw this and quickly followed.

With one hand forming a seal, a gold phoenix-shaped hair ornament on her hairband suddenly shone, enveloping her in protection.

With another grab of her hand, a cyan banner appeared in her grasp.

It was the Taiyi Cyan Dragon Banner.

It was a top-grade magical artifact her father bestowed upon her after she reached the late-stage Qi Cultivation!

"Langhuan, wait a moment!"

The two women, one after the other, rushed out of the palace.

A silhouette emerged from the darkness abruptly, less than a hundred meters away.

A loose cultivator clad in black, with disheveled hair!

"Hahaha... Two little girls?"

He quickly noticed Princess Yaoshi and Princess Langhuan, and was immediately drawn to their stunning faces, his eyes filled with lust and greed.

"Two exquisite furnaces, if only I could..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the girl in the golden palace dress closest to him pointed with a single hand, and a black and purple wheel suddenly appeared.

As it spun wildly, the friction noise assaulted the air, speeding towards him with lethal intent.

Midway, the black and purple wheel suddenly enlarged, transforming into a size taller than a person in an instant.

The cutting sound from its rotation caused the surrounding air to compress.

In almost no time, it had reached him.

The man in black was terrified, instinctively throwing out a boulder-shaped magical artifact while biting his tongue sharply and spewing a mouthful of essence blood.

With the aid of his essence blood, the boulder-shaped magical artifact suddenly expanded, shielding the black-clad cultivator.

"Zzz...!"

He was slightly relieved, ready to employ another means, when the piercing friction sound suddenly erupted.

The defensive magical artifact he had placed high hopes on started shuddering violently, his pupils instantly filled with despair and terror.

"Boom!"

The next instant, the entire defensive magical artifact collapsed, split in two.

And the gigantic wheel-like magical artifact cleaved right through him, slicing him entirely in half!

"Hmm~!"

A soft snort sounded, and Princess Langhuan descended from the air, the wheel-like magical artifact whistling back to her front.

"What loose cultivator, isn’t he just slain instantly? The Dark Moon Wheel Father gifted me is indeed formidable!"

Princess Langhuan said proudly, but her complexion turned pale upon seeing the loose cultivator’s corpse on the ground.

Her throat convulsed, almost causing her to vomit.

"Langhuan, are you alright?"

Princess Yaoshi hurriedly followed, concerned.

Upon witnessing the corpse, her face also turned somewhat unsightly.

Though both were cultivators, it was the first time they encountered the corpse of someone they had slain themselves, leaving them quite unsettled.

"Elder sister, Father once said, we cultivators inherently defy destiny, facing many pitfalls along the way."

Surprisingly, Princess Langhuan was the first to regain composure, gritting her teeth, she said, "It’s just a corpse, how can it disturb my Dao heart!"

"Elder sister, let’s continue!"

Princess Yaoshi also took a deep breath, newfound admiration for her usually somewhat willful and spoiled sister, nodding, "Alright!"

She then raised the Taiyi Cyan Dragon Banner in her hand, instantly causing lightning to flash around, and a giant serpent composed entirely of lightning, with a single horn on its head, crawled out from the Taiyi Cyan Dragon Banner.

This banner was a top-grade magical artifact obtained by Zheng Yi from Bai Cangmu’s storage bag, wherein the spirit of a late-stage Foundation Establishment Thunder Flood Dragon had been specially sealed with restrictions.

Under command, it could unleash a substantial amount of thunder, its killing power extremely formidable, bestowed upon Princess Yaoshi.

Under Princess Yaoshi’s control, it transformed into a dense array of thunder, striking towards the distant loose cultivators.

"Rumble...!"

Soon, more than half of Linxiao Palace was under the onslaught of thundering fury.

Many loose cultivators fled in chaos upon being hit by the thunder, suffering heavy casualties.

With the inclusion of Lii Huan Zhenren, Princess Yaoshi, and Princess Langhuan, the loose cultivators could no longer withstand, scattering in retreat.

"Damn it! How come there’s so many cultivators from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty!"

"Old me cannot hold on any longer, let’s withdraw first!"

"I feel the same! Dammit, lost out big time!"

"Dead people are great, their storage bags belong to me, hahaha..."

The entire Celestial Longevity Mountain descended into chaos instantly.

Some cultivators wanted to flee, others wanted to continue fighting, and some seeing corpses everywhere, disregarded the presence of those from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty and started scavenging spoils from the bodies.

Some cultivators even engaged in internal conflict over the spoils during this turmoil.

In such chaos, Youlinzi couldn’t withstand Cui Xiabing’s onslaught any longer, immediately roaring.

"Snake-Toad Brothers! Act now! If we all die, you will certainly perish too!"

Almost simultaneously, Du Qingxuan shouted, "Ancestor! Save me!"

A frowning Nanfeng Zhenren amidst the skirmish lifted his hand, shooting a firelight into the sky, which exploded, transforming into fireworks.

"Senior, please assist!"
