2466 Dead End
Although he didn’t know what the Divine Master wanted to do with this Purple Gold Divine Armor, there must be a reason why he was so persistent. It was very likely… that it would involve Big Baby’s life and death!

Chu Liuyue clenched the Purple Gold Divine Armor in her hand tightly.

The sharp edge stung her palm.

If I return this thing, Tuan Zi can be saved. However, Big Baby might fall into an even more dangerous situation because of it. If I don’t return it, it will be the other way around.

On one side was Tuan Zi, and on the other was Big Baby.

How could she choose?! These two were too important to her!

At this moment, Dugu Mobao opened his eyes. He looked straight at Chu Liuyue and shook his head gently.

In an instant, Chu Liuyue’s heart trembled. What Big Baby means is…

“Have you made your choice?” That low and hoarse voice came again.

Countless gazes swept over. Clearly, they were also very curious about how Chu Liuyue would choose.

Chu Liuyue held her breath and said coldly, “I won’t choose either option! If you want the Purple Gold Divine Armor, feel free to come and get it yourself! It’s impossible for me to return it voluntarily!”

The Divine Master paused. “So you choose the High Priest and give up the red-gold heavenly phoenix?”

Chu Liuyue sneered. “Divine Master, don’t you think your question is ridiculous? Even if I return the thing to you, will you really let Tuan Zi off?”

After what had happened earlier, she would never be so naive.

What they wanted was Tuan Zi’s bloodline power, and it was very likely the power after opening the ninth meridian! Otherwise, they wouldn’t have done so many things for no reason previously and kept urging Tuan Zi to open her meridians.

Everything they did was actually for a reason.

At first, she didn’t quite understand, but ever since Tuan Zi flew out of the Fantasy Divine Hall, went to above the Holy Jade of Chaos, and began to devour the flames on the white jade pillars, she knew their goal.

The flames on those white jade pillars were supported by the bloodline power of red-gold heavenly phoenixes!

Previously, Xiao Ran had mentioned that the Holy Jade of Chaos was closely related to the Divine Master. The flames on the white jade pillars were even transformed by the Divine Master’s holy force and wouldn’t be extinguished for 10,000 years.

But in reality, that wasn’t the case at all!

She still remembered seeing Yi Zhao in the depths of the lightning pool. At that time, a lot of his bloodline power had been extracted.

But at that time, Chu Liuyue was only thinking about how to save him, so she didn’t pay much attention to this matter and only treated it as a form of torture from the Fantasy Divine Hall. However, she understood now: What they wanted was the bloodline power of the red-gold heavenly phoenix race.
The flames used the bloodline power to let the Holy Jade of Chaos burn! The purer the bloodline power, the better it was for them.

Although Yi Zhao was the clan leader, he had only opened the seventh meridian. It was probably not enough.

Hence, they targeted Tuan Zi since she had the purest bloodline!

It was obvious how important Tuan Zi was to them. Under such circumstances, how could they let Tuan Zi off so easily?

“Are you questioning me?” The Divine Master’s voice turned colder.

Chu Liuyue snorted lightly. “So what if I am?”

No one expected Chu Liuyue to be so stubborn, and they all fell silent.

“You—” The Divine Master seemed to be a little angry.

At this moment, Rong Xiu suddenly said, “Shangguan Yue hasn’t completed the test. Continue.”

His voice was cold and heavy, making people unconsciously revere him and not dare to disobey.

The meaning was clear—everything else was pushed back!

Even if the Divine Master really wanted to snatch the Purple Gold Divine Armor, he had to wait for these things to end.

After a moment, the Divine Master said, “Yes, Emperor.”

Chu Liuyue turned around and walked toward the warriors. At this moment, she was facing the door of the Fantasy Divine Hall.

A sorrowful and painful scream sounded again!

Screech!

Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked up subconsciously.

Outside the door, she saw the scene.

Mu Qinghe hovered in midair. A longsword flew out of his hand and went straight ahead.

Swoosh!

The flames that were surging toward Tuan Zi from the top of the white jade pillars dragged out a reddish-gold line of fire in midair.

This sword directly cut it off!

Three lines of fire had already been cut off in front. This was the fourth line.

The sword didn’t stop. Instead, it continued to fly toward Tuan Zi.

The sword aura was awe-inspiring! The next moment, an extremely sharp blade quickly cut past Tuan Zi’s left wing!

Whoosh—

A large area of scorched feathers was cut off with skin and flesh!

The huge reddish-gold figure trembled.

The cry was hoarse and mournful, like a whimper. It lingered in the sky for a long time.

A part of Chu Liuyue’s heart seemed to have been cut off, and it hurt.

Her chest seemed to be pressed down by a huge rock, and she could only pant with all her might. But every time she breathed, a large amount of cold air poured into her chest crazily, as if it was sharp and scraping!

She covered her heart—it was so painful that it was about to split open.

She subconsciously walked forward, but as soon as she raised her leg, her leg went limp, and her body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

“Master!” Qi Han immediately went forward to support her.

Chu Liuyue held her heart tightly with one hand and held Qi Han’s arm with the other. Her fingertips exerted strength and turned green and white.

It was as if someone was holding a huge ax and slashing down crazily in her mind!

A double image appeared in front of her again.

Countless images overlapped, making it difficult to distinguish!

There seemed to be countless mournful cries echoing in her ears!
