My carefree life in space

Chapter 229 Arriving in Time

"I'm sorry!" Yuan Qing apologized to her husband and daughter in her heart. "If you are still alive, you must be safe and happy. If... never mind, let's not meet again in the next life. You deserve a better life."

Yuan Qing was lost in her own thoughts and didn't realize that she was floating, but everyone present could see it clearly.

Just as Xuancang Daoist's hand was about to touch Yuan Qing's head, she suddenly disappeared. Everyone looked around and saw that her body was floating in mid-air.

"What's going on?" This was the question on everyone's mind.

"Who dares to interfere with my good deed?" Daoist Xuancang roared in anger. His first suspects were the three, including True Person Yanhua, but they were still lying on the ground and unable to get up, so it was unlikely that they could snatch someone from his grasp. As for the others, they didn't have the strength to do so.

No one who wanted to kill Xuancang Daoist had ever escaped. He flew towards Yuan Qing again to grab him.

Before he even reached Yuan Qing, a massive surge of spiritual energy rushed straight towards him with unstoppable force. He was startled; where did such a powerful spiritual energy come from? Without time to think, he quickly flipped over and landed on the ground.

After regaining his footing, he looked in the direction from which the spiritual energy had come, and it was actually the entrance to the temple. Who has come again? Could it be those old fogies from the sects? Xuan Cang Daoist felt a sense of unease.

At that moment, two people slowly walked into the temple gate.

"Shushu, my little sister!" Fang Siya, who was quietly healing her wounds, recognized Lin Shushu and the other girl at a glance and exclaimed in surprise.

Some people in the main hall had seen the two before, but now they wore expressions of disbelief. This girl, if they remembered correctly, was only at the Nascent Soul stage before entering the ruins, but now…

Yan Hua Zhenren sensed a familiar aura. He quickly recalled in his mind where he had felt this aura before. Suddenly, his pupils widened in shock. This... this was the aura left behind by the person who broke through to the Nascent Soul stage that day!

So young? And a little girl at that!

After Lin Shushu entered the main hall, she heard Fang Siya's voice, but she had no mind to respond at the moment. Her attention was entirely on Yuan Qing in mid-air.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, she consolidated her cultivation in the space while comprehending the power of rules. Only after achieving some minor success did she bring Mo Ze out.

As soon as she came out, she sensed something was wrong. Why was this ruin so quiet and desolate? Had everyone left?

At this moment, she was no longer affected by the ruins as before, and even her divine sense could not penetrate them.

Having grasped the power of rules, the restrictions here no longer have any effect on her, especially with the added benefit of the Star Mirror. It's no exaggeration to say that if she wanted to know, she could know anything that happened anywhere in the ruins.

After a brief investigation, she discovered the existence of the temple and the people inside engaged in a fierce battle, so she and Mo Ze rushed over.

While outside the hall, she had already grasped the basic situation inside through her divine sense, and upon seeing Yuan Qing, she immediately recognized her identity.

At that moment, Yuan Qing was thinking of her husband and daughter, and felt guilty towards them. The Star Mirror immediately conveyed Yuan Qing's feelings to her, which was the Star Mirror's unique ability—to see into people's hearts.

So when Xuancang Daoist's hand was about to land on Yuan Qing's crown, she immediately intervened and pulled her out of Xuancang Daoist's attack range.

What happened next was witnessed by everyone in the hall, and she was recognized.

Yuan Qing was the only one who was completely out of it, but after all these changes, even if she was slow to react, she knew that something unexpected had happened, especially after hearing those two words from that girl.

Lin Shushu hooked her hand, and Yuan Qing's body flew towards them. She caught her steadily, let Yuan Qing sit down against the wall, took out some healing medicine and fed it to her. "Mo Ze, please take good care of her for me!"

"Okay, Shushu, be careful!"

Yuan Qing had been somewhat stunned ever since a young woman caught her, and she had been staring at the woman intently. Now, hearing the name "Shushu" again, she was even more reluctant to look away.

Xuan Cang Daoist thought that one of those old guys would come, but when he saw a young woman, he couldn't help but feel fooled, especially since she had saved the person he was going to kill right in front of him, which made him even angrier.

"Who are you?" he demanded sharply. He could tell that this woman had also reached the Nascent Soul stage. Could it be that she had been in seclusion for too long and was therefore unaware of the current situation on the Flame Sun Continent? Otherwise, how could there be such a young Nascent Soul cultivator?

To possess such cultivation at such a young age, one must either have an extremely powerful family or be blessed with extraordinary fortune, even favored by the Heavenly Dao. In either case, there is something about him that he should be wary of.

That's why he didn't rashly stop Lin Shushu's actions after she appeared. Now, seeing her walking towards him, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"You don't need to know who I am. You only need to know that if you do too many evil deeds, even God will take you down!"

Lin Shushu's words drew arrogant laughter from Daoist Xuancang.

After laughing, he looked at Lin Shushu with disdain, "A mere woman, how dare she speak for the heavens?" Although he was somewhat wary of her, it didn't mean she could be so presumptuous in front of him.

Xuan Cang Daoist's face was gloomy, and a hint of ruthlessness was revealed in his eyes as he stared intently at Lin Shushu in front of him. "Little girl, didn't anyone teach you to respect your elders?"

After saying that, he took the initiative and quickly formed hand seals. Streams of black energy surged from his body and instantly condensed into a huge black demonic hand, which, with a whooshing sound, grabbed fiercely at Lin Shushu.

Seeing this, Lin Shushu frowned slightly, but remained calm. With a gentle wave of her hand, a longsword radiating blue light instantly appeared in her grasp. The sword hummed, as if it possessed a spirit.

Immediately afterward, she lightly touched the ground with her toes, her figure soaring backward like a swallow, easily dodging the demonic hand's attack. At the same time, her longsword drew a dazzling arc, and a blue sword aura shot towards the demonic hand like lightning.

"Boom!" The sword energy collided with the demonic hand, producing a loud bang, and the powerful impact distorted the surrounding air.

The demonic hand vanished instantly under the impact of the sword energy, but the sword energy, undiminished in its momentum, continued to fly towards Xuan Cang Daoist.

Seeing the situation was dire, Daoist Xuancang quickly dodged the sword energy. He was secretly shocked; this girl had only just entered the Nascent Soul stage, yet she could easily withstand half of his peak Nascent Soul stage cultivation?

"Hmph, you've got some skill! No wonder you dare to be so arrogant. But this is just the beginning." Xuan Cang Daoist snorted coldly, and a huge black vortex suddenly appeared behind him. Countless vengeful spirits surged out of the vortex, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Lin Shushu.

This scene shocked everyone present.

"It's a vengeful spirit! And it even practiced such an evil technique!" Master Lingxu exclaimed in shock.

The expressions of Master Yan Hua and the others were also very ugly. They thought that Daoist Xuan Cang's act of absorbing people's cultivation was already extremely heinous, but they did not expect that he would have an even more evil technique.

If they're not mistaken, these vengeful spirits are innocent souls manipulated by him through evil means.

They couldn't help but worry about Lin Shushu. Could she manage? They would wait and see. If she couldn't, they would risk their lives to keep Xuan Cang Daoist here, otherwise more people would fall victim to his cruelty.
