Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

"Lu Yuan, I have my own choice. I don't need you to decide for me."

She held an ice crystal whip in her hand, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she began to cast ice magic. As ice and snow flew, the cold air spread and froze the sword formation.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown, feeling the power of the sword formation being frozen. He realized that Zi Cuiling was not just talking nonsense, but had the strength to back it up.

"This woman is really difficult to deal with."

He muttered to himself, secretly respecting Zi Cuiling's strength.

Su Liyan watched the scene nervously. She knew Zi Cuiling's determination and Lu Yuan's sense of responsibility.

She couldn't choose whose side to stand on and could only pray silently that this confrontation would not turn into a tragedy.

Zi Cuiling swept her cold eyes over the crowd. She realized that she had attracted everyone's attention. The pressure made her feel a little tired, but her inner persistence made her steadfast.

"Sister Zi Cuiling, you need to calm down!"

Su Liyan shouted anxiously, trying to break Zi Cuiling's stubbornness.

Zi Cuiling did not respond. Her eyes were fixed on Lu Yuan, determined to break through his sword formation and try to absorb his power again.

The power of thunder and fire and the cold air of ice in the sword formation intertwined with each other, and the scene was extremely intense.

Lu Yuan tried his best to maintain the sword formation, but he felt his strength was depleting rapidly and he became secretly anxious.

"Zi Cuiling, don't force me to use stronger power!"

There was a hint of helplessness and warning in Lu Yuan's voice.

An icy air filled the air, and Zi Cuiling resolutely decided to give it her all, no matter what the cost.

The monks present were stunned. What they saw was two powerful monks confronting each other fiercely, but there were deeper contradictions and conflicts hidden behind it.

"Zi Cuiling, you have reached your limit. If you continue, you will only hurt yourself!"

An elder couldn't help but speak up to persuade.

Zi Cuiling turned a blind eye. Her whole body was shrouded in ice crystal light and she faced Lu Yuan without fear.

"I must get the power I want!"

There was persistence and determination in her voice.

Zi Cuiling relied on her agile body and special powers combining poison and ice to engage in a thrilling battle with Blood Shadow.

During the confrontation, she cleverly contaminated Blood Shadow's magic energy, causing it to be corroded by the poison and causing his magic to not function properly.

Using this advantage, Zi Cuiling finally defeated Xueying and temporarily stabilized the situation in Leihuo Dan Pavilion.

This thrilling battle not only demonstrated her wisdom and fighting skills, but also established her authority within the sect.

After Zi Cuiling defeated Blood Shadow, the entire venue suddenly became quiet, with only faint sounds of wind and burning echoing in the air.

There was a gleam of victory in her eyes, but at the same time, her body revealed fatigue.

She tightly grasped the ice crystal whip, beads of sweat dripped down her forehead, but her heart was filled with satisfaction and confidence.

Zi Cuiling stood on the battlefield. Her fatigue had not completely dissipated, but her eyes were shining with victory.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan walked up to her and looked at her calm expression, their hearts filled with respect and worry.

"Sister, you are awesome!"

Su Liyan patted Zi Cuiling's shoulder gently and spoke softly.

Zi Cuiling smiled slightly, feeling the support and encouragement behind her, her mood became relaxed at this moment.

"Thank you, without your help I wouldn't have been able to achieve this victory."

She looked at Lu Yuan and Su Liyan with gratitude. Lu Yuan looked deeply into Zi Cuiling's eyes and said, "Zi Cuiling, your strength is getting stronger and stronger. I believe you can become the key to the balance of power within the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion."

Zi Cuiling frowned slightly, thinking about what Lu Yuan said.

She knew that her strength had indeed improved, but becoming the balance of power within the sect would require more effort and support.

"Lu Yuan, do you have any ideas?"

Zi Cuiling turned to Lu Yuan, hoping to hear his advice.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then said: "I want to discuss something with you in private, about how we can jointly resist foreign enemies and enhance the strength of the sect."

The three of them left the battlefield and came to a secluded secret room.

In the secret room, Lu Yuan said straight to the point: "Zi Cuiling, I noticed that your strength has improved significantly recently. I think we can join forces to deal with the threat of foreign enemies together."

Zi Cuiling nodded in agreement.

"I also realized this. Our cooperation can make the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion more stable."

Zi Cuiling and Lu Yuan were meditating in the secret room, discussing how to jointly resist foreign enemies and enhance the strength of the sect.

Zi Cuiling said with emotion: "Lu Yuan, we must unite and face external threats together to make the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion stronger and more stable."

Her eyes were firm and deep, revealing her loyalty and sense of responsibility to the sect.

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement and continued, "I have a plan and I hope to get your support."

"We can unite with other cultivators to form a formation to defend against external enemies and enhance the overall strength of the sect."

There was a hint of excitement and determination in his eyes.

Zi Cuiling thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Okay, I agree with your plan."

"We will work together to seek greater benefits for the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion."

She shook hands with Lu Yuan, and the trust and tacit understanding between them increased.

Just as they were discussing the plan, Su Liyan hurried into the secret room with a hint of anxiety on her face.

"Sister Zi, Lu Yuan, it's bad, we have encountered a group of aquatic beasts, and the battle is extremely fierce!"

Her voice was a little nervous and uneasy.

Zi Cuiling and Lu Yuan immediately stood up, stared at Su Liyan and asked about the situation.

Su Liyan described the situation they encountered and reminded them to be careful because the aquatic beasts were very ferocious.

Zi Cuiling frowned and her expression became serious: "We must go to the battlefield immediately. We cannot let the aquatic beasts continue to threaten the safety of the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion."

There was a firmness and decisiveness in her words.

The three of them hurriedly left the secret room and came to the battlefield.

The scene before them was one of chaos. The aquatic beasts were attacking the monks fiercely and the battle was extremely intense.

Zi Cuiling, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan quickly launched a defense and fought in coordination to protect their companions.

Su Liyan, with her skillful use of ice magic, resolved a wave of attacks from aquatic monsters and bought precious time for Zi Cuiling and Lu Yuan.

Her figure flickered on the battlefield, and as she waved the ice crystal whip, frost splashed everywhere, repelling the aquatic beasts one by one.

Zi Cuiling waved the sword in her hand, and the Thunder and Fire Sword in her hand released a blazing light, and she started a fierce confrontation with the aquatic beast.

Her eyes were full of fighting spirit and determination, and every strike was accurate, making the enemy dare not underestimate her. (End of this chapter)
