Invincible Dad-Chapter 592 Despicable Earthlings_1

"..."

"Wait, I'm not—"

The Moon Clan's Crown Princess tried to explain.

But the eleven leaders of the Holy Lands had no intention of listening, especially the hot-tempered Daoist Chi Huo, who suddenly stomped his foot.

A ten-zhang fire dragon rose from behind him!

"ROAR!"

The dragon's roar was earth-shattering.

The fire dragon seemed to have a will of its own. It opened its fiery eyes to stare at Ji Jie, and wherever its massive claws touched, the ground erupted in scorching flames.

The temperature at the foot of Mount Haitang shot up in an instant. The cool night suddenly felt as hot as a scorching summer day.

"This was originally the corpse of a young dragon, which I happened to obtain from the starry sky. It took me seventy years of refinement to create this fire dragon, which is comparable to a Golden Core expert."

Daoist Chi Huo's voice boomed like thunder. "Even if you are at the Peak of Golden Core, and even if you are an accomplice to that monster Xu Lai, you will suffer!"

"The Fire Control Technique."

A trace of apprehension flickered in the eyes of Mo Lian, the Dao Sect's Master. He's not just controlling fire, but a dragon corpse as well. That old scoundrel Chi Huo may have no integrity, but his strength is definitely among the best of the Three Sects and Nine Pavilions.

With this thought, Mo Lian casually threw out dozens of golden paper talismans that spun rapidly in the air, forming a cage that bound Ji Jie within.

The attacks from the other leaders of the Holy Lands arrived in succession.

Though she was the Crown Princess of the Moon Clan, Ji Jie had never been besieged by eleven Golden Core Realm cultivators at once, even if their cultivation boundaries were far inferior to hers.

But Ji Jie didn't panic or even fight back. A transparent, formless barrier protected her.

The attacks of the eleven leaders of the Holy Lands rained down upon the barrier, but it didn't break!

"So strong!"

The expression of Qi Jiuyang, the Blade Sect's Master, shifted.

Ji Jie spoke calmly, "Listen, I'm not your enemy. My goal is the same as yours: Xu Lai."

"Really?"

Qi Jiuyang looked dubious.

"Qi Jiuyang, did you practice the blade until your brain turned to mush?! Aside from us from the Cultivation Holy Lands who have the Starry Sky Gate to leave Earth, how can other Martial Artists break their shackles and ascend to the Golden Core Realm?"

Daoist Chi Huo shouted, "This witch must be from the starry sky. Perhaps, just like Xu Lai, she's from the Moon Clan."

Members of the Moon Clan.

That was the verdict the Three Sects and Eight Pavilions had passed on Xu Lai.

To wage a crusade against Xu Lai, they had to have a justified cause. They had to stand on the side of righteousness to ensure they would be unassailable.

Otherwise, even if they killed Xu Lai, how could they maintain their standing in Hua Country, let alone on Earth?

"Indeed."

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Snow Pavilion was an old woman with long, white hair, her face perpetually as cold as frost.

She said with an icy voice, "This witch is from the Moon Clan! She's working with Xu Lai!"

"..."

Ji Jie wanted to say more but ultimately fell silent.

She was, indeed, a member of the Moon Clan.

In fact, she was the Crown Princess, a position of extreme prestige within the Moon Clan. Her authority was no less than that of her younger brother, the Crown Prince.

But the problem was, she and Xu Lai were enemies!

Xu Lai, what on earth did you do to make Earth's experts hate you this much? Ji Jie wondered grimly.

At that moment, a sinister light flickered in the eyes of the Red Fire Pavilion's Master as he quietly maneuvered the fiery dragon corpse behind Ji Jie.

He was preparing a sneak attack!

Ji Jie's reaction was a split second too slow, and a swipe from the fire dragon's claw sent her flying a hundred meters away.

The flirtatious smile vanished from the Crown Princess's face, her voice now laced with killing intent. "I told you, Xu Lai and I are enemies!"

"Daoist Chi Huo, control your temper. Perhaps she can join us against Xu Lai," the Blade Sect's Master, Qi Jiuyang, said hurriedly.

If this woman named Ji Jie was truly Xu Lai's accomplice, why wouldn't she counterattack? Why was she only defending herself?

"Indeed."

The Master of the Lingyun Pavilion nodded, sharing the same thought.

With the eleven Holy Lands joining forces, plus a cultivator at the Peak of Golden Core, even an expert at the Nascent Soul Realm like Xu Lai would surely die on Mount Haitang!

"I don't believe that witch."

The Red Fire Pavilion's Master manipulated the fire dragon to lunge at Ji Jie. Her expression turned icy, and with a fierce wave of her blood-red sleeve, a breeze swept out, blowing the ten-zhang-long flaming dragon skeleton toward the foot of the Mount Haitang range.

BOOM!

The corpse smashed heavily onto the ground.

The dead dragon corpse felt no pain. It quickly rose to its feet, flames burning in its millstone-sized eyes, ready to charge at Ji Jie again!

Ji Jie narrowed her eyes.

Her opponent had attacked time and again, and killing intent had begun to stir within her. Just as she was about to make a move, a black Divine Dragon was seen weaving through the clouds above Mount Haitang. It was Dragon Spirit Xiao Hai.

It hadn't intended to intervene in their squabbles, as they were outside its jurisdiction.

But after the fiery dragon corpse was knocked into Mount Haitang, it made a terrible mistake: it crushed a Haitang flower. That was the flower its Mistress cherished most of all!

ROAR!

A dragon's roar resonated from within the clouds.

The dragon corpse, which had already leaped above Ji Jie's head, began to tremble. It twisted its head in utter terror to look toward the clouds.

And then, its body began to crack and crumble, inch by inch!

The Red Fire Pavilion's Master spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura withering as he collapsed weakly to the ground.

With fear and trembling, he stammered, "Mount Haitang is also a Dragon Vein? And it has already undergone Dragon Transformation..."

The fifth Dragon Vein!

For centuries, Hua Country had only possessed three Dragon Veins: the Kunlun Dragon Vein, the Qinling Dragon Vein, and the Shushan Dragon Vein.

The recent emergence of the fourth, the Dragon Vein of Mount Fu, had already shocked the world.

No one had expected that Mount Haitang, which was supposed to be a Spirit Vein, was also a Dragon Vein—and one that had already transformed into a Dragon Spirit!

"Witch, and you still claim you aren't in league with Xu Lai!"

The Red Fire Pavilion's Master, his face drained of all color, said tremulously, "Otherwise, why would the Dragon Spirit of Mount Haitang help you!"

"..."

Ji Jie was filled with grief and indignation. I know Xu Lai did this on purpose.

As she backed away, she tried to explain, "Everyone, please listen to me. I am truly Xu Lai's enemy! I don't know why the Dragon Spirit helped me, either. This must be his scheme!"

"Kill this woman from the Moon Clan!"

"KILL! KILL! KILL!"

Even Qi Jiuyang, the Master of the Blade Sect, and the Master of the Lingyun Pavilion no longer believed Ji Jie.

Aside from the severely injured Daoist Chi Huo, the remaining ten went all out.

Although Ji Jie was at the Peak of Golden Core, she couldn't withstand the desperate assault of ten Golden Core cultivators. Besides, she didn't dare to truly fight, fearing that Xu Lai would suddenly appear and stab her in the back.

Ji Jie could only flee toward the seaside.

A Teleportation Array there could swiftly transport her away from East Sea City and back to the Holy Island of Sakura Country.

Clad in her blood-red palace dress, a garment that should have made her look enchanting and seductive, she now appeared exceptionally disheveled.

A blood-red moon rose behind Ji Jie, causing her speed to increase dramatically!

"That's... the Blood Moon Technique? She really is a member of the Moon Clan!"

"No wonder Xu Lai wanted to destroy the Penglai Sword Pavilion. It seems he allied with the Moon Clan long ago."

The leaders of the Holy Lands were livid. "That despicable woman! Conspiring with Xu Lai to ambush the Master of Red Fire Pavilion!"

"I didn't! I haven't..."

Ji Jie was incredibly aggrieved. Her plan today had been to intercept Xu Lai, buying time for the Moon Clan's assault on Chang'an City.

But she paused. Wait a minute.

Ji Jie suddenly realized something. Full of grief and indignation, she cried out, "Could there be a traitor from Earth inside the Moon Clan? Is that how you knew today's plan? You and Xu Lai put on this act together to trap and kill me!"

"Despicable Earthlings!"
