A silver light array descended above Chen Yuxin, and a feeling of dizziness and powerlessness instantly washed over her. The Moonlight Formation, the strongest array of the Moon God Temple, had a sealing and weakening effect. Even Zeus found it extremely strenuous, but now, they could only contend with Chen Yuxin evenly. Ji Qian's brows furrowed slightly; this woman was truly terrifying. She looked so young, yet her cultivation was so profound. If it weren't for the Moonlight Formation, she might even be able to switch to the offensive.

"Be careful, Family Head." Chen Ruoya reacted, swinging her long whip, trying to disrupt the Moonlight Formation, but ended up clashing with Selena and the arriving Moon Guards.

Seemingly in sync, Chen Yuxin turned her gaze just in time to land on Ji Qian. The two women locked eyes, both emanating killing intent.

Ji Qian didn't originally want this—killing a pregnant woman, especially when Chen Yuxin was bearing Ye Shikai's child—but now, she had to harden her heart and play the role of a venomous woman. Ye Shikai was deeply depressed due to this ordeal, and at this moment, if Chen Yuxin accidentally died, though it would be a short pain, afterward, Ye Shikai need not be conflicted. As long as he could be happy, Ji Qian was willing to do anything; she knew this plan was a last resort but was also the most effective. So she secretly mobilized the Netherworld Palace's forces to assassinate Chen Yuxin.

"Don't blame me," Ji Qian muttered, seemingly speaking to Ye Shikai.

To love someone to the bone, preferring that person hate you, preferring to be vilified, rather than watch him live in agony.

Ji Qian was such a person.

Her plan was very thorough, and if nothing went wrong, Ye Shikai might never discover who did it.

At the same time, it was also a risky move; if "the secret was exposed," what would Ye Shikai do? He would certainly break off with Ji Qian, might even develop a killing intent.

Under such circumstances, Ji Qian was confident that even Ye Shikai would find it difficult to escape, making Chen Yuxin undoubtedly doomed this time.

Chen Yuxin was trapped in the Moonlight Formation, surrounded by the four Netherworld Palace generals, plus dozens of Hidden Guards and Moon Guards, likely unable to last even ten minutes.

"Go, kill her," Ji Qian ordered, and the crowd surged forward. Chen Yuxin endured the discomfort, restrained by the Moonlight Formation, unable to exert her full strength, while having to defend against the simultaneous attacks of the four Netherworld Palace generals.

"Netherworld Palace and Moon God Temple, why are you doing this?" Chen Yuxin shouted angrily. Ghost's brow trembled, surprised Chen Yuxin recognized them. It seemed she must not be allowed to survive.

Chen Ruoya was anxious too, anxious to rush inside to protect her, but was surrounded by countless Moon Guards, unable to divide her efforts. The Chen family's guards were nearly all dead—they were ambushed and couldn't hold against a group of cultivators multiple times their number.

Chen Yuxin in the array slowly clasped her hands, closed her eyes slightly, forming an invisible aura, a powerful pressure making it difficult for the four to advance, like a wall, each step forward bearing huge pressure on their five internal organs.

A purple light shimmered before the crowd, Ji Qian shielding her eyes from the glare. Before Chen Yuxin was a longsword glowing with purple light.

"This is... the Chunjun Sword." As the crowd realized, Ghost immediately recognized it, heart shuddering, for it was one of the top ten famous swords. Why did Chen Yuxin have it?

This Divine Artifact, known as "The Unrivaled Noble Sword," was rumored to be crafted by the sword master Ou Yezi. The young Sword Master Xue Zhu once said the Chunjun Sword was forged by Heavenly Person, combining mountain, water, sky, and human, forged by divine order.

Unexpectedly, the Chunjun Sword was in Chen Yuxin's possession. Ghost almost forgot the Chen family was one of Yanjing's four major families, a famous clan throughout Huaxia, with deep roots. The Chunjun Sword in her hand was indeed possible, just unexpected she hid it so well.

With the Chunjun Sword, the outcome... became unpredictable.

Ji Qian was also shocked, not expecting the Chunjun Sword to appear now, but even so, she couldn't stop.

Chen Yuxin slowly extended her jade hand, placing it on the hilt, all eyes watching her, even forgetting the ongoing fight...

As she clasped it, a powerful shockwave exploded, tearing a gap in the Moonlight Formation above.

"Such powerful Sword Qi." Ji Qian felt a surge in her Dantian, the powerful Sword Qi impacting the Moonlight Formation, causing huge pressure on the caster, especially when Inner Strength was disrupted. It was no exaggeration to say Ji Qian, unprepared, almost spat blood.

The Chunjun Sword truly lived up to its name.

Chen Yuxin activated Inner Strength, striking the Moonlight Formation in the sky with Chunjun, making the strong array "teeter," feeling it would shatter with a mere touch.

"Everyone, move." Ghost steadied the crowd, Nightmare first breaking into the array, directly striking with dual halberds.

Pang.

Severe energy clash shattered the Moonlight Formation completely. Nightmare retreated over ten steps, barely avoiding being blown away. In contrast, Chen Yuxin stepped back only three steps. Chunjun, known as "The Unrivaled Noble," was unstoppable.

Soul Destroyer and Demoness also charged, while Ghost observed from behind. Chen Yuxin defended unhurriedly against both, Ji Qian felt uneasy, didn't expect the Chunjun Sword's power so vast, in an instant, shifted right before Chen Yuxin.

"Step back," Ji Qian shouted, raising her gemstone Magic Wand.

"Moon God Spell—Starfall."

Main God Skill, probably the only move to rival Chunjun—silver lights shot from the gemstone Magic Wand. Chen Yuxin's expression changed slightly, fiercely swinging the Chunjun Sword at the silver light.

Two mighty forces collided, everyone felt shaking in their internal organs, even a few Hidden Guards too close were hurt by residual force, blood coughed and weakened.

After just one move, both Ji Qian and Chen Yuxin were uneasy, Inner Strength nearly drained by eighty percent, faintly on the brink of "spitting blood."

"Everyone, stop."

Just as the crowd was about to continue, a loud shout came from afar, a shadow rapidly approaching, too fast for anyone to discern.

The shadow stopped between the two women, once visible, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The shadow was none other than Ye Shikai, who had just arrived.

"What are you all doing?" Ye Shikai was filled with rage, unable to comprehend this had truly happened.

Rare fury, Ghost and others dared not even breathe, Ye Shikai turned and quickly walked toward Chen Yuxin.
