"True Martial Saint Lord, please stop speaking such words. These matters are beyond your control. I believe if Grand Master Taoist Ancestor Er Lee knew about this, he would not wish for your death either.

You are a disciple of Grand Master Taoist Ancestor Er Lee—faced with adversity, contemplating death alone, do you not feel that it would also disgrace Grand Master Taoist Ancestor Er Lee?" Lin Yun urgently transmitted his voice.

"I have made up my mind, you should prepare yourself as well..." True Martial Saint Lord shook his head slightly.

In the brief moment earlier, he had thought through all the pros and cons of this matter. As a powerhouse of the Saint Lord Realm, once he made a decision, how could others easily sway him?

Maybe, previously, he was too selfish, which resulted in these terrible consequences...

Now, he could no longer afford to be selfish; if he brought trouble to Lin Yun, that would still be manageable, but if the Virgin Mother were to be implicated, he wouldn't be able to face Grand Master Taoist Ancestor even if he survived!

Lin Yun and the Virgin Mother must leave together. Only with Lin Yun's protection would he feel assured of the Virgin Mother's safety, and he also had more trust in Lin Yun's character!

"Langya! Stop immediately! Otherwise, I'll kill him right now!"

Just then, a sharp reprimand rang out from not too far away.

"Hmm?"

Everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction of the voice.

They saw that, at some point, the Virgin Mother had captured Chu Lee, with a golden longsword pressed against his neck. The golden longsword emitted a powerful aura that left no doubt that even the slightest movement could decapitate Chu Lee, leaving him either dead or half-dead.

If the Virgin Mother had acted just a bit faster, and attacked several more times, she might have been able to kill Chu Lee before Langya Saint Lord and his group could intervene.

"Master, save me!" Chu Lee yelled in terror.

"What a waste!" Langya Saint Lord said darkly, cursing under his breath.

Chu Lee had strength comparable to the fourth level of the Super Realm; the Virgin Mother had only been able to overpower Chu Lee previously because of the Chasing God Whip. Now that the Chasing God Whip was in Lin Yun's hands, even if the sword in the Virgin Mother's hand was extraordinary, Chu Lee should not have been so easily defeated.

Speaking of which, the timing the Virgin Mother had chosen was perfect. He had been monitoring the situation with his Mental Strength the entire time. If the Virgin Mother had made a move then, while he was dealing with True Martial Saint Lord, he also could have intervened.

However, the moment he resolved to suppress True Martial Saint Lord in one fell swoop, naturally, he retracted the attention he had spread around and failed to anticipate the Virgin Mother's move, leaving him unable to block in time.

Chu Lee was a key figure in his plan to break through the thirty-fourth heaven, and nothing could go wrong with him. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for them to find another suitable candidate.

Presumably, the Virgin Mother also understood this point, which is why she used such a threat.

"Hmm?"

The other nine Saint Lords frowned upon seeing this situation, as they were not aware of the importance of Chu Lee to their upcoming plan to breach the thirty-fourth heaven. However, they did know that Chu Lee was a disciple of Langya Saint Lord.

Now, with the Virgin Mother threatening their lives with Chu Lee's, they could not afford to take it lightly.

"If you want to kill him, then kill him. Such a loser is of no use to keep around!" Langya Saint Lord said, looking in the direction of the Virgin Mother and Chu Lee, speaking calmly.

"Master!" Chu Lee cried out in terror upon hearing Langya Saint Lord's words.

The other nine Saint Lords felt a sense of relief, adhering to the adage that delays could lead to problems. It was the right time to kill Lin Yun, True Martial Saint Lord, and the Virgin Mother. Letting them go now would be akin to releasing a tiger back into the wild.

"Heh! Langya Saint Lord, do you truly not care? Then I'll just kill him!" The Virgin Mother chuckled, and said.

"Shh!"

As she spoke, the Virgin Mother made her move. The golden longsword in her hand shifted slightly, severing Chu Lee's head.

"No! I don't want to die! Master, save me quickly!"

Chu Lee's severed head screamed in panic.

Having strength at the third level of the Super Realm, comparable to the fourth, Chu Lee's vitality was incredibly strong. Losing his head was not a fatal injury, but the golden longsword in the Virgin Mother's hand was no ordinary weapon, and this stroke seriously wounded Chu Lee.

"Shh! Shh!"

After one strike, the Virgin Mother did not stop; with a flick of the golden longsword, she struck Chu Lee's body again, instantly tearing him apart. Chu Lee could no longer speak with his mouth and emitted extremely fearful mental fluctuations from every part of his body.

Whole in body, he was no match for the Virgin Mother. Now torn apart, he was utterly powerless to resist. After a few slashes from the Virgin Mother, Chu Lee was grievously wounded. Continuing like this, it would only be a moment before she killed him.

"Stop!"

Finally, Langya Saint Lord could not bear it any longer and shouted loudly.

Boom! Whoosh!

As he spoke, he waved the Langya Sword in his hand, unleashing a powerful attack at True Martial Saint Lord. Then, he quickly retreated from the battle with True Martial Saint Lord.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The other nine Saint Lords, clearly having received a transmission from Langya Saint Lord, also started to retreat.

Originally, Lin Yun had the upper hand against these nine Saint Lords, but as the defense matrix of Immortal Origin World continuously broke down, he began to falter. Therefore, when the nine Saint Lords withdrew, Lin Yun was unable to launch a further attack. Moreover, the situation seemed to be taking a new turn, and there was no need for him to persist in a fight to the death at this moment.

"Virgin Mother, you are the mother of the Taoist Ancestor. I was once one of the seventy-two disciples under the Taoist Ancestor. Grand Master Taoist Ancestor has been very gracious to me. If you release Chu Lee now, I can let you leave safely!" Langya Saint Lord looked at the Virgin Mother not far away, took a deep breath, and said.
