Since the last time Xiao Yifei helped Ci Xin with acupuncture, Ci Xin had soared to great heights, with his cultivation rapidly advancing, he had entered the Bronze Gate. At this moment, Ci Xin's face wore a confident smile, as if he were the ruler of heaven and earth. With a gentle wave of his hand, the Bronze Gate suddenly disappeared from its place.

This wasn't because Ci Xin destroyed it, but he created a space rift, making it seem indistinguishable from the surroundings, avoiding too much attention on the Bronze Gate. Having done all this, it seemed Ci Xin remembered something.

With another wave of his hand, a spatial rift was opened, he stepped inside, and the rift closed again. The stormy island suddenly became calm, as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Yifei was on the verge of collapse, but had no means to help himself. If he had the Green-eyed silver needle, perhaps he could resist, but without it, Xiao Yifei, being only at the peak of Dark Force, found it truly hard to withstand a killer move from a Golden Elixir master.

Finally, Xiao Yifei couldn't hold on anymore. His True Qi depleted entirely at that moment, and Ghost Tears was slowly approaching Xiao Yifei. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei closed his eyes, resigned to his fate of dying, recalling his past experiences, he sighed and accepted it.

After an unknown period, Xiao Yifei found himself conscious, thinking he should've been killed by the man's attack. Curiously, he opened his eyes to find that the beads in front of his chest had suddenly disappeared, without warning. Just like that, vanished.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yifei's eyes widened in shock. He looked at the man, who also wore a look of surprise. It was evident he wasn't the cause, as his own attack had simply disappeared, a truth that would sound like a lie if told, yet it was fact, the man's attack vanished.

"How could this happen?" The man furrowed his brows, looking at Xiao Yifei, and asked in confusion, "What did you do?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei felt a mix of emotions, not knowing what he'd done either. Seeing Xiao Yifei's confusion, the man realized it wasn't him.

"Who did this? Show yourself, sneaking around isn't commendable!" The man shouted, yet there was indeed a response—an elegant female voice filled everyone's ears, "Ha, look at yourself before criticizing others."

With that voice, a spatial rift suddenly appeared beside Xiao Yifei, and an elegant silhouette emerged from it. "Ci Xin!" Xiao Yifei exclaimed with joy upon seeing the person, indeed, it was Ci Xin!

The man's eyes widened, shocked at the sight of the woman, thinking, "How is it possible for someone to possess the ability to walk through spatial rifts? Could she have surpassed the Golden Elixir Realm to become a supreme power? That's impossible!"

The man channeled a bit of True Qi to calm his nerves and began to observe Ci Xin seriously, feeling uneasy, as the woman in front of him exuded zero perceptible True Qi, yet conveyed an overwhelming pressure, akin to an infinite black hole.

As he looked into her eyes, her almond-shaped eyes sparkled, reflecting a vast galaxy, and from her body emanated a subtle aura of celestial mist. Her eyes playful, sizing him up as if inspecting a child playing with mud in the wilderness.

Seeing this, the man quickly lowered his head, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, "This woman is unfathomable, how come that brat Wushuang didn't tell me Xiao Yifei had such a formidable ally, now we're in a real predicament."

Thinking this, the man motioned at Xiao Wushuang with a quick glance and immediately put on a fawning expression, bowing to Ci Xin, "I'm Xiao Youer, ranked second among the Thirteen Protectors of the Xiao Family, may I know your name?"

The father and son had worked closely for many years, an unspoken understanding between them, like a son knowing what his father had for breakfast from a single word. As a minor player, Xiao Wushuang couldn't perceive Ci Xin's entrance nor detect her aura, only seeing her as an elegant lady. But noticing his father's change, he quickly surmised, bowing silently.

Lying aside, Xiao Yifei had already recovered some Yuan Qi, finding it amusing how the once fierce father and son duo had suddenly changed their demeanor, he laughed, "The Thirteen Protectors' coffin lid might not stay shut."

Xiao Yifei stood up, dusting himself off, and observed Ci Xin, realizing she had completely transformed from the spirited woman who once forced him for acupuncture. Now, she possessed an ethereal aura, most likely having surpassed the Golden Elixir Realm.

Truly fortunate, though the Xiao Family's One Hundred and Eight Needles played a role, having struggled along the path of cultivation, he knew well the difficulty and perseverance required to be the first in Huaxia to surpass the Golden Elixir Realm.

Ci Xin glanced at Xiao Yifei and said, "Have you seen enough? How should we deal with these two monkeys?"

Xiao Yifei snapped out of his thoughts, looked at everyone, and said, "Kill them, spreading superstitions and causing harm, after all these years of worship, no deity has ever helped you."

No sooner had he spoken, a strong wind blew towards him, he looked up to see Xiao Wushuang's father had unleashed his killer move, Female Ghost Tears, with a tangible True Qi sphere approaching rapidly. During their conversation, Xiao Youer realized he couldn't escape execution, silently gathering all his True Qi for this strike.

Xiao Yifei was startled, well aware that the desperate counterattack of a Golden Elixir Stage expert was not to be underestimated. Realizing he had let down his guard, he quickly gathered all his True Qi, no way to dodge, he had to meet it head-on!

As the Female Ghost Tears whistled through the air, a gentle breeze swept past, dispersing the energy-charged True Qi sphere. In his daze, a shadow flickered, Ci Xin swiftly reached Xiao Youer and delivered a hook, only for him to instinctively dodge. Ci Xin, unhurried, leaned slightly forward, powering up her single leg.

Xiao Youer, battle-hardened, knew he couldn't take the knee strike head-on and blocked with his hands, but in a duel of masters, luck had no place. The knee strike landed solidly on Xiao Youer's abdomen, propelling him over three meters into the air.

Ci Xin let out a soft hum, powered her legs again, swiftly catching up with the airborne Xiao Youer, sidestepped behind him, clasped her hands, swung her arms back, and after half a second of charging in mid-air, delivered a powerful hammer blow!
