"PFFT!"

At this moment, a trace of blood dripped from the corner of Chu Yueli's mouth. She had been seriously injured during the attack just now.

Lu Yanqi turned pale with fright. Her face was filled with anxiety. "Master, how are you?"

She was really afraid, but not for herself. She was afraid that the entire Heavenly Snow Palace would be in danger.

If the Desert Sword Sect attacked the Heavenly Snow Palace soon, would they have the strength to fight against Shi Shan?

After all, half-step Emperors were too strong.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Chu Yueli suppressed the boiling blood in her body and waved her hand.

She looked coldly at Shi Shan.

Although she looked calm, waves of shock rose in her heart. The power of a half-step Emperor was indeed terrifying. From the fight just now, she had already discovered that the gap was like a chasm.

Even hundreds of peak-stage quasi-emperors might not be a match for a half-step Emperor.

Moreover, no one in the entire Heavenly Snow Palace could find a peak-stage quasi-emperor. Although their sect had a deep foundation, it was not so easy to become a quasi-emperor.

Even if they had a strong foundation, they had only nurtured a dozen or so.

These were their core strength.

Once they lost them, the Heavenly Snow Palace would collapse in an instant. There was no doubt.

When she thought of this, a deep worry rose in her heart. It was obvious that she had already thought of what would follow. With the Desert Sword Sect's character, it would not be long before a storm of blood would erupt in the northern region.

"Hmph, Chu Yueli, today is different from the past. In the past, you were always high and mighty. Now that you've suddenly become my defeated opponent, how does it feel?"

Shi Shan's face was filled with joy.

In the past, not only did the juniors fight, but the elders had also sparred with each other when some benefits were involved.

Among them, Shi Shan had once been beaten up by Chu Yueli until he had peed his pants and fled back to the Desert Sword Sect in a sorry state. He had even been mocked by the other elders for this.

Now, he was finally able to hold his head high.

Only after becoming a half-step Emperor did he truly understand the benefits that power brought to him. He was deeply infatuated with it.

In the previous clash, he had only used 30% of his strength and was able to defeat the Heavenly Snow Palace's favourite being, Chu Yueli. In the past, he would not have even imagined that this would be a possibility.

But now, he had done it.

"If you surrender to the Desert Sword Sect, I can let you live. You'll still be an elder. After my sect exterminates all the factions and becomes the overlord of the northern region, your status will rise as well. You'll have a much brighter future compared to the Heavenly Snow Palace."

Shi Shan voiced his offer.

His expression was one of disdain, as if his sect had truly become the number one sect in the northern region.

However, Chu Yueli was clearly not interested.

"You're dreaming!"

Without any hesitation, she rejected him.

Not to mention that Shi Shan had not become an Emperor, even if he did become one, their entire sect would not give in. They would definitely fight to the end.

"Very well." Shi Shan's face darkened even more, and his eyes were filled with bloodlust. "Chu Yueli is a pure and virtuous person, and she has left a great legacy in the northern domain. Everyone wants to kiss her. I don't know if I'll have the chance."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yanqi could not help but curse at his shamelessness, and she glared at him fiercely.

In her heart, her master was a pure and holy existence. There was no man in this world who was worthy of her master.

Now, after hearing such dirty words, she could not help but feel angry and her face was filled with fury.

If looks could kill, then the current Shi Shan would probably be riddled with holes.

After hearing this, Chu Yueli's icy aura became even stronger and the icy aura from her body became even stronger. She directly used her actions to communicate with him.

At this moment.

Everyone's gaze was strange. They looked at Shi Shan and then looked at Chu Yueli who was as cold as ice. They could not help but curse in their hearts.

This old man was very evil. He already had the upper hand, and yet he was still so lecherous.

Without a doubt, Chu Yueli's appearance was famous throughout the entire northern region. Even though she was usually dead and cold, it could not stop everyone's admiration.

No one wanted to see Chu Yueli be humiliated like this.

But now, Shi Shan's aura was unstoppable. It could be said that he had already become a well-deserving expert of the northern region.

"If that's the case, then you can't blame me. I can only capture you first."

Shi Shan could no longer hold back the flames in his body. The more he thought about it, the more he could not control it. He felt as if his entire body was about to explode.

As for Ning Manman, she was just a small character. She could be destroyed easily. There was no need to be anxious.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt their chests become tight.

"Master, what should we do now?" Lu Yanqi's face was full of worry. They were definitely not Shi Shan's match.

Not to mention that Chu Yueli was already injured and half of her strength had already been lost. She could not use her full strength.

If she was at her peak, even if she was not a match for Shi Shan, it was still possible for her to escape unscathed.

But now, she was clearly in a desperate situation.

Chu Yueli also frowned and secretly transmitted her voice to the two of them, saying, "I'll hold him back later. You guys find an opportunity to escape and send the news back to the sect. Activate the sect's great array and defend against the Desert Sword Sect."

This was the only way at the moment. If not, the three of them would not be able to escape.

The ethereal voice resounded in the minds of Lu Yanqi and Ning Manman. Lu Yanqi's body trembled and she rejected it without thinking.

They had left. How could her master be a match for Shi Shan alone?

If her master was defeated in the end, with her strong character, she would definitely commit suicide at the first opportunity. Perhaps this would be the last time they would see each other.

Thinking of this, the things that Chu Yueli had taught her in the past flashed in her mind like a merry-go-round. It was so heartwarming and nostalgic.

Lu Yanqi had already decided that even if she had to die with her master, she could not escape alone.

Then, she looked at Ning Manman and said, "Sister Ning, can I ask you to do something? Can you bring this news to the Heavenly Snow Palace? I will thank you here."

There was a hint of death in her eyes. It was obvious that she wanted to advance and retreat together with her master.

Chu Yueli sighed. After many attempts to persuade her, she finally understood her disciple's intentions. She thought that if she really fell into a hopeless situation, she would use her last bit of strength to teleport her out.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely heavy. Everyone held their breaths, afraid that they would provoke Shi Shan.

Seeing the goddess in their hearts about to fall into a bottomless abyss, they were all very depressed.

And at the scene, the one who was the most excited was none other than Li Feng.

His hatred had already expanded to a great amount. To be able to see the pure and graceful Chu Yueli end up like this, he felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure in his heart.

It would be best if the entire Heavenly Snow Palace ended up like this. Only then would he be able to dispel the hatred in his heart.

Perhaps, after the nature of his master had faded, he could still follow behind and test this cold woman, to see whether she had the strength of the legends or not.
