Ruan Li and Luo Qingci had created such a commotion that the entire Six Wonders Pavilion realized something was wrong with the Spirit Contract Platform. By the time they flew over on their swords, they found the situation was beyond their control.
Luo Qingci hadn't even drawn her sword or used her ruthless sword technique; instead, she manipulated her spiritual energy with an icy resolve. The Pavilion Master of the Six Wonders Pavilion found himself trapped in the expansive field of spiritual energy she had created. With a mere thought from Luo Qingci, streams of water surged forth, manifesting into water dragons that surrounded and attacked him from all directions.
Had he not been at the peak of the Small Ascension stage, he would likely have been overwhelmed by her. The Pavilion Master's anxiety grew as he observed Ruan Li, who was actually holding her own against Meng Qishan. Had the Dragon Clan become this formidable?
Seeing Ruan Li both dissolving the contracts with the Dragon Clan and engaging Meng Qishan in battle, Luo Qingci felt some concern due to Ruan Li's injuries but tried to push it aside. Despite her desire to protect Ruan Li, she knew that there would be a day when her strength would be insufficient. Only by allowing Ruan Li to grow and stand on her own could she truly be at ease.
Even though it pained her, she had to restrain herself.
At this moment, Ruan Li was fearless and even exhilarated. This was the first time she had fought for the Dragon Clan, marking the true beginning of fulfilling her responsibilities. If her father were still alive, he would want her to not only be safe but also to shoulder the responsibilities of the Dragon Clan.
Her eyes were filled with determination, and the sword in her hand, Qingyuan, sensed its master's battle intent, glowing even more brightly.
Ruan Li closed her eyes, activating the fifth layer of the Nine Dragon Formula. A dragon's roar erupted from Qingyuan's blade, and with her fingers clawed, she prepared for action. At the same time, a gigantic dragon shadow, resembling a mountain range, emerged behind her, its dragon eyes mesmerizing and fixated on Meng Qishan.
The eleven dragons below, seeing the enormous dragon head with its formidable aura, widened their eyes in astonishment and overwhelming anticipation and joy. Even though they did not know Ruan Li personally, they recognized her as their princess.
Despite the rumors that Ruan Li had betrayed the Dragon Clan for her master, disregarding the revenge for her father's death, her presence here to rescue them proved she had not betrayed the Dragon Clan. With such strength at such a young age, their future was no longer a concern.
Ruan Li plunged Qingyuan heavily into the ground, and the enormous dragon behind her roared with golden light, tearing through the air and creating a gust strong enough to make Meng Qiao and the others struggle to stay upright.
The dragon moved with incredible speed and force, and Meng Qishan could not dodge in time. He had to raise his hands, channeling a swirl of yellow spiritual energy mixed with dust to counter the dragon's head.
The dragon and the vortex clashed, neither giving way.
Ruan Li, gripping her sword tightly, turned and dragged the eleven disciples towards her. As she released the contract restrictions, they were left in pain and struggling to stand.
Ruan Li glared at Meng Qishan. "Meng Qishan, don't be stubborn. The trend of the Immortal Sect is on the decline. You don't seek to calm the Dragon Clan's wrath but instead try to extract the Dragon Clan's spiritual energy from the contracts. This is sheer stupidity! Even if you succeed, and Meng Qiao can advance to the Separation stage, or even if he's at the Small Ascension stage, it will be useless. If the Dragon Clan is no longer afraid of the Dragon God Tree, even a Small Ascension cultivator would be nothing compared to you today. Not to mention my uncle Mo Yan, a true Great Ascension master. Just he alone can ensure your death without a place to rest."
