Chapter 251

It was Yan Zhao who stopped Nangong Yin.

Nangong Yin's attack momentarily slowed down.

But due to this brief hesitation, the ancient dragon seized the opportunity for survival. With a powerful flap of its wings, a knife-like hurricane suddenly swept up from its back, lifting Nangong Yin completely off the ground.

Opportunities are fleeting; Nangong Yin had no desire to linger in battle. She immediately leaped up to avoid the incoming wind blades and landed beside Yan Zhao.

The giant dragon took a heavy blow and instinctively retreated, granting Nangong Yin a brief respite.

Yan Zhao released Ren Qingyue and turned her head, her gaze unintentionally meeting that of Nangong Yin.

Nangong Yin was a head taller than Yan Zhao and had to lower her gaze slightly to make eye contact.

She did not complain to Yan Zhao about her preventing her from taking action and delaying the battle. Instead, she asked, "How's your injury?"

"I'm fine," Yan Zhao replied, then looked towards Ren Qingyue.

Ren Qingyue was still immersed in the grief of Yan Zhao's severe injury, nearly losing her life. Although she had bonded with Yan Zhao with a sense of trial, she wasn't sure Yan Zhao would be saved.

Still in a daze, she heard Yan Zhao call her "Senior Sister" and suddenly came back to her senses, quickly responding, "I'm okay, nothing serious."

The hidden weapon thrown at her by Yun Daozi was countered by Nangong Yin, and she hadn't been injured. However, her protective magic was disrupted, causing a slight backlash, and coupled with her emotional turmoil, her internal energy was somewhat disturbed.

Compared to herself, Ren Qingyue was more worried about Yan Zhao. Even though Yan Zhao claimed to be fine, she had seen firsthand how severely Yan Zhao was injured.

Just as Ren Qingyue was about to speak, she was suddenly interrupted by Yan Zhao's voice: "Senior Sister, A Yin's injuries aren't healed yet, so I'm counting on you."

Nangong Yin lowered her gaze in confusion but did not refute.

Ren Qingyue realized something, furrowing her brows, her tone anxious: "A Zhao, what are you going to do?"

Yan Zhao avoided Ren Qingyue's gaze, her eyes flickering slightly, then shifted her focus to the ancient dragon, which was preparing to charge again, and quietly replied, "I want to end this conflict."

Ren Qingyue was taken aback, while Yan Zhao quickly got up, skillfully forming a movement spell, and in the blink of an eye, was several meters away.

Nangong Yin glanced at Ren Qingyue's panicked expression and said softly, "You saved Zhao's life; I owe you a favor."

"You don't owe me anything," Ren Qingyue replied, already calming down. "Even without me, A Zhao wouldn't die. You already anticipated this, and I'm doing this not for you."

Nangong Yin raised an eyebrow: "Of course I know it's not for me; I don't think it's necessarily for Yuanqing either."

Ren Qingyue was preoccupied with Yan Zhao and had no mind to listen to Nangong Yin's mockery.

Yan Zhao woke up and left without saying much.

Sealing, contracts, her identity, all these complex matters were left unmentioned.

But compared to these intricate emotions, she was more worried about Yan Zhao's safety, and the seeming change in Yan Zhao's temperament after waking.

Yan Zhao said she wanted to end this conflict.
