Li Jiuge frowned and looked at Zhang Xianqi, saying, "Lin Bai owes you a favor? Heh, I'd like to know how a mere ant who has just stepped into the First Level of the Life-and-Death Realm could owe someone like you, a Quasi Holy Son, a favor?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingyi seemed to recall something and whispered into Li Jiuge's ear, "Senior Brother Li, beneath the Sealed Dragon Well before, Lin Bai obtained a Dragon Scale for Zhang Quan from the Dragon Corpse!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuge's expression abruptly changed, becoming even colder.

Li Jiuge watched Zhang Xianqi and said, "Zhang Xianqi, since you've already obtained what you wanted, get out of my way. You've got yours, but I haven't obtained mine yet!"

Zhang Xianqi smiled blandly and said, "Li Jiuge, I already said I'm here today to return a favor. Since I'm already here, I won't let you easily take Lin Bai's life today!"

Li Jiuge said coldly, "You think you can stop me? You're not enough!"

Zhang Xianqi smiled slightly, a hint of viciousness appearing in his eyes.

At that moment, the heavens above the Cloud Sky suddenly exploded.

A cold voice came through.

"Blockade Heaven in One Breath!"

In an instant, the area of thousands of miles around Dragon Raising Island solidified.

After one breath, the crowd was able to move again.

Li Jiuge's face turned cold, looking ahead.

In the breath it took to seal space and time, a woman in blue had already appeared above Dragon Raising Island.

"Lan Yuxin!"

Li Jiuge exclaimed with a smile.

Lan Yuxin's expression remained the same, stern and unsmiling, as she looked at Li Jiuge and said, "If Zhang Xianqi alone isn't enough, what if I'm added into the mix?"

Li Jiuge's smile froze on his face, and he looked at Lan Yuxin in surprise and said, "Lan Yuxin, what do you mean?"

Lan Yuxin said coldly, "Today, I will protect Lin Bai's life!"

Li Jiuge's expression became even more frigid.

Zhang Xianqi and Lan Yuxin were both Quasi Holy Son-level figures in the Southern Yard.

No need to say more about Zhang Xianqi; Li Jiuge truly didn't regard him as a threat.

But Lan Yuxin was different.

Behind Lan Yuxin stood the Lan Clan!

Li Jiuge asked with a smile, "Miss Lan Yuxin, I wonder whether you are here on behalf of the Lan Clan or yourself?"

Lan Yuxin smiled and asked, "Is there a difference?"

Li Jiuge smiled and said, "If Miss Lan Yuxin is here representing the Lan Clan, then I must give face today. But if Miss Lan Yuxin is here on her own, not representing the Lan Clan, then..."

Before Li Jiuge could finish, Lan Yuxin said, "I am here, not to represent the Lan Clan, but myself. Li Jiuge, do you want to fight me?"

Li Jiuge's eyes flashed, and he said coldly, "I've long wanted to experience the Bloodline Legacy Martial Soul of the Lan Clan but never had the opportunity. If Miss Lan Yuxin wants to instruct me today, I would be deeply grateful!"

Li Jiuge's expression turned slightly cold, his eyes glinting with fierce fighting spirit!

"Good!"

Lan Yuxin let out a cold laugh and walked toward Li Jiuge.

In an instant, both Lan Yuxin and Li Jiuge erupted with overwhelming waves of power.

And just at this moment, another explosion occurred above the Cloud Sky, followed by the voice of an annoyed old man, "What do you think you are doing? What are you doing! Do you want to harm my disciple Fang Yiyun?"

"Do you have a death wish?"

As this voice came through, it was as if a thousand sharp swords burst from the void. Hearing this sentence, besides Zhang Xianqi, Lan Yuxin, and Li Jiuge, the rest of the warriors surrounding Dragon Raising Island all spat out a mouthful of blood, their expressions becoming dejected.

The clouds shattered, and an angry old man came striding out, glaring at Li Jiuge.

This man was none other than Fang Yiyun!

Fang Yiyun glanced down at the ruins of Dragon Raising Island and saw the half-dead Lin Bai, his eyes turning even colder.

Fang Yiyun looked at Li Jiuge and said, "Li Jiuge, what do you want to do!"

Li Jiuge bowed slightly and said nonchalantly, "Greetings, Senior Fang Yiyun! Although Lin Bai is a disciple of Senior Fang Yiyun, I kindly ask Senior Fang Yiyun not to interfere in this matter, otherwise, on my father's side..."

Fang Yiyun sneered, "Don't try to use your father to oppress me. I've been in Dongzhou Academy for so long, and whom have I ever feared?"

"Scram!"

Fang Yiyun glared at Li Jiuge and scolded him coldly.

Li Jiuge looked at Fang Yiyun, his eyes narrowing as anger surged, but he sneered and said, "Haha, very well. Today, for Zhang Xianqi, Miss Lan Yuxin, and Senior Fang Yiyun's sake, I can spare Lin Bai's life!"

"However, Lin Bai, remember this!"

"I'll give you three months to think it over. Within three months, if you come around and deliver the Dragon Blood Crystal Stone to the Island of Stars, I can let bygones be bygones!"

"If after three months I still don't see the Dragon Blood Crystal Stone delivered to the Island of Stars, I will personally come to take it... and your life!"

"Hmph, let's go!"

After finishing his words, Li Jiuge waved his sleeve and left with the warriors of the Island of Stars.

Zhu Jingyi stared coldly at Lin Bai and said in his heart, "Who would have thought your life was so valuable that Zhang Xianqi, Lan Yuxin, and Fang Yiyun stepped out to protect you!"

"But that doesn't matter; three months later, if you don't appreciate our kindness, Senior Brother Li Jiuge will show you what it means to be completely powerless!"

Zhu Jingyi flew away, leaving Dragon Raising Island with the warriors of the Island of Stars!

After watching Li Jiuge and the warriors of the Island of Stars leave, Lin Bai's eyes were cold, his heart even colder.

At this moment, Zhang Xianqi cupped his fist and said, "Lin Bai, today I saved your life as repayment for your kindness in giving the Dragon Scale to Zhang Quan. From now on, we owe each other nothing!"

Lin Bai cupped his fist and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang Xianqi and Senior Brother Zhang Quan."

Zhang Xianqi sighed lightly, "Li Jiuge has great backing in Dongzhou Academy. If it's not absolutely necessary, I advise you not to provoke him!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

"Let's go!" Zhang Xianqi left with his people.

Zhang Quan said, "Take care, Lin Bai!"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang Quan!"

Zhang Xianqi left with his people.

Fang Yiyun snorted coldly, "Lin Bai, for the next three months, come stay with me on Nine Heavens Island. I'll see for myself how capable Li Jiuge is, and whether he dares to come to Nine Heavens Island to kill you!"

Lin Bai chuckled softly and said, "Thank you, Master Fang! But I have no intention of leaving Dragon Raising Island for the time being!"

"This place is where I, Lin Bai, have established myself in the Southern Yard!"

"I will not leave!"

Lin Bai said stubbornly.

Fang Yiyun shook his head and said, "Fine, fine, I'll go see what exactly Li Jiuge wants to do!"

With that, Fang Yiyun turned and left Dragon Raising Island.

And just like that, only Lin Bai and Lan Yuxin remained on Dragon Raising Island, amidst the ruins...
