When the illusion dissipated, Jin Lin happened to lower his head.
It was under these circumstances that he witnessed with his own eyes the large stone beneath his feet—just as he was about to step over it—transform at a visible speed into the form of Daise.
Daise lay on the ground, covered in wounds and blood.
“Qingxue!!!”
Before Jin Lin could even process what was happening, he heard Mo Changxing’s heart-wrenching scream.
Instinctively, he looked around and saw Yun Sisi standing behind Yun Qingxue, delivering a palm strike that sent her tumbling into the cliff!
“Qingxue!”
“Qingxue!”
“Master!” Multiple cries of alarm rang out simultaneously.
Seeing the situation unfold, Jin Lin immediately followed Mo Changxing as he lunged toward Yun Qingxue.
At the same time, a dazzling white light shot out from the cave where Yun Qingxue resided, also heading straight for her as she fell.
Yun Qingxue’s body plummeted uncontrollably down the cliff.
In her panic, she reached out and grabbed something, but it failed to halt her descent.
As she fell, she saw Daise—whom she had shielded—transform into Yun Sisi’s form.
She caught sight of Jin Lin, Mo Changxing, and the blinding white light at the cliff’s edge—all rushing toward her.
She turned her head and saw only an unfathomable abyss behind her, like a gaping black maw ready to swallow everything whole.
“Qingxue…!”
“Qingxue…!” Mo Changxing and Jin Lin leaped after her without hesitation.
“Changxing-gege!” Yun Sisi stood frozen, staring in disbelief as Mo Changxing recklessly threw himself into the abyss.
Her beloved Changxing-gege would go to such lengths for that wretched woman?!
What was he doing? Did he intend to jump after her?
Was his love for her truly that deep?
And what about her? Yun Sisi had grown up with him—what did their lifelong bond mean to him?
“Mo Changxing, come back!!!” Yun Sisi screamed, her eyes red with fury.
She lashed out with a long whip—Changxing-gege was hers! She would drag him back!
As the whip snaked into the abyss, Yun Sisi suddenly felt an immense weight pulling at it, as if it had been caught by something as heavy as a boulder.
Startled, she channeled her magic into the whip, but the resistance only grew stronger.
The force dragged her toward the cliff’s edge.
Meanwhile, Adai, his eyes burning with hatred, lunged at Yun Sisi.
This vile woman had dared to scheme against their master—she deserved death!
Sensing the attack, Yun Sisi had no choice but to release the whip and dodge Adai’s pounce.
Missing his target, Adai skidded to the cliff’s edge.
Staring into the pitch-black void where his master had fallen, his fury turned entirely toward Yun Sisi.
He twisted midair, preparing to strike again—he would kill this wicked woman today!
But before he could reposition himself, a tremendous force yanked him downward.
“Hmph! Foolish attempt. Serves you right!” Yun Sisi laughed triumphantly as Adai disappeared into the abyss.
She then turned her gaze to Daise and Liuli, both injured by her earlier attack in the illusion.
“You two were so loyal to that bitch Yun Qingxue, weren’t you?
Now that she’s dead, you can join her!”
Her laughter turned maniacal as black smoke swirled in her palm, aimed directly at Daise and Liuli.
Liuli and Daise glared at her with hatred.
Suddenly, Yun Sisi paused, her eyes narrowing viciously at Liuli, who had reverted to her fox form.
This little fox had scarred her face—how could she forget?
Kneeling, Yun Sisi stroked Liuli’s snow-white fur and smirked.
“Such beautiful fur. It would make a lovely scarf.”
“Disgusting! No adornment can hide your ugliness!” Liuli spat, her white fur streaked with blood.
With a swift motion, Yun Sisi tore a patch of fur from Liuli’s face.
“Ah!” Liuli cried out in pain as Yun Sisi sneered,
“I’ve heard that skinning an animal alive keeps the fur bright and fresh.”
“Don’t you dare touch Liuli!” Daise struggled to rise but collapsed again, weakened.
Yun Sisi struck her with another palm, sending her crashing back down, blood spilling from her lips.
Stepping forward, Yun Sisi pressed her foot onto Daise’s face and sneered,
“Worthless servant! Today, you’ll watch as I skin this fox alive!
What a pity…
Yun Qingxue isn’t here to see this. Her expression would have been priceless!
Hahaha…
Your master was nothing but trash! Hahaha…!”
“Don’t you insult her!” Liuli’s round eyes blazed with fury. Summoning her last strength, she lunged at Yun Sisi.
“Pathetic!” Yun Sisi scoffed, her right hand wreathed in dark energy as she reached for Liuli’s throat.
“Stop!”
A thunderous voice boomed, followed by a streak of purple lightning striking Yun Sisi.
“Ah!” She recoiled in pain, her eyes widening as three figures appeared at the cliff’s edge—all familiar faces.
Two were Jin Lin and Mo Changxing, who had jumped after Yun Qingxue.
The third was none other than Yun Qingxue’s master—Zi Qu Shengjun.
And in his hands was Adai, the snake who had fallen into the abyss!
Yun Sisi was stunned.
She didn’t know what to feel.
Her Changxing-gege had returned—she should be overjoyed!
But why were Jin Lin and that wretched snake still alive? Why hadn’t they died?!
And Zi Qu Shengjun—wasn’t he supposed to be in the Xuanling Continent? How had he entered the Yunhuang Illusion?
Had he saved Changxing-gege?
Then what about Yun Qingxue? Had that bitch been rescued too?
Her eyes darted around in search, but Yun Qingxe was nowhere among those Zi Qu Shengjun had brought back.
A dark satisfaction curled inside her.
Zi Qu Shengjun hadn’t saved her!
Hah! Even if he came, it was too late! Yun Qingxue was dead—no one could bring her back now!
Hehehe…!
