Qin Meiniang's face suddenly darkened, the pink radiance on her body surged and transformed into a height of several zhang, with countless pink petals interspersed, rolling forward.

"Screech" A tearing sound echoed, those two beams of black light were indeed extraordinary, slicing through most of the pink radiance, seemingly about to pierce through completely.

However, at this moment, a flash of light sparked within the pink radiance, and a pink palace appeared out of thin air.

The two beams of black light struck the pink palace, immediately rebounding as if encountering immense force.

Qin Meiniang's five fingers made a virtual grasp, the pink radiance rapidly condensed, transforming into countless pink threads, entwining the two beams of black light.

The black light instantly became unstable, its surface light swiftly dissipating, revealing their true form, which turned out to be two crystal-clear black flying knives, their blades shimmering with a cold light and full of spirituality.

Yet at this moment, the two flying knives appeared like fish caught in a net, struggling in vain, their movements growing slower and seemingly about to be completely immobilized.

"Su Nu's Radiant Light! You do have some skills." The black-robed figure remained unconcerned, casting a spell with a flick.

Above Qin Meiniang's head, black light flickered, and over ten beams of black blade light spiraled down, slashing at the pink radiance with lightning speed.

The pink radiance was instantly torn to shreds, and the two black flying knives broke free, flashing back to the side of the black-robed figure.

However, at that moment, the two black flying knives suddenly reversed direction, crossing paths to slice toward the black-robed figure.

The black-robed figure was evidently unprepared for this, retreating in shock, their black robe tearing with a "screech", revealing their true face, a young woman.

She had short black hair, her complexion as white as snow, eyes like stars, her black outfit snug and complementing her exquisite figure. The dark red sash at her waist fluttered in the wind, the only color on her yet carrying a bloody scent, unsettling to the heart.

"What a technique, to temporarily control my Spiritual Treasure. I underestimated you!" The black-haired woman sneered coldly, as darkness emerged behind her, swallowing the two flying knives.

Qin Meiniang's expression was somewhat peculiar, as she had just attempted to use the Su Nu Sect's "Delirious" divine skill to manipulate the two black flying knives.

"Delirious", a secret divine skill of the Su Nu Sect, specifically targets Spiritual Treasures, allowing temporary control of the Artifact Spirit without the owner noticing.

However, the will of the Artifact Spirit within the black knives was unexpectedly tenacious, and "Delirious" couldn't control the Artifact Spirit's consciousness for a long time.

At a critical moment, another force invaded the black knives, the Artifact Spirit of the black knives seemed to fall into a slumber, allowing her to succeed.

Who was aiding her?

The black-haired woman cast a spell with both hands, a vast darkness emerged between her brows, coalescing in mid-air into a face-less black shadow Dharma image, swallowing all light, nearly merging with the deep night sky.

Qin Meiniang could only barely make out the outline of the black-haired woman's Dharma image by some moonlight, unable to tell how enormous it was, its emitted aura filled with ominousness, causing her heart to stir with fear.

This woman immediately took a deep breath, casting a spell, a large amount of pink radiance burst forth above her head, manifesting into a Divine Woman Dharma image, whose attire and appearance differed from that of Yun Luo Fairy yet exuded a somewhat similar aura.

The moment the Divine Woman Dharma image appeared, it began to dance in mid-air, pink petals suddenly falling like rain in the night sky, and an inexplicably sweet fragrance drifted under everyone's noses.

The black-haired woman sneered coldly, raising her hand for a grasp.

The black shadow Dharma image simultaneously mimicked the action, its massive right arm disappearing into the void.

In the next moment, a disturbance in the void in front of Qin Meiniang emerged, and a gigantic black hand appeared, striking down like a mountain, drawing in the surrounding space power.

The Divine Woman Dharma image raised its arms, barely withstanding the strike of the black hand, but a large expanse of pink radiance was scattered away.

Qin Meiniang's arms maintained an upward-raised position, her body trembling uncontrollably, her ten fingers continually casting spells.

Pink radiance flared around the black shadow Dharma image, and pink branches extended from the void, rapidly swelling with buds, blooming with the fragrant wind greeting them.

In an instant, countless particles of pink spirit light spewed from the buds, rushing towards the black shadow Dharma image, turning the entire night sky into a hazy pink.

However, the black-haired woman remained coldly smiling, not moving at all, as the black shadow Dharma image above her head suddenly transformed, its head elongating as if opening a mouth, an invisible suction force erupting like a hurricane.

The entire sky of pollen was sucked into the mouth of the black shadow Dharma image, seemingly devoured, vanishing without a trace.

"Void Sky Demon Technique! Who exactly are you?" Qin Meiniang's face changed dramatically, exclaiming in shock.

Yuan Ming's expression slightly changed upon hearing these words.

He had heard of the name "Void Sky Demon Technique," rumored to have been created by the previous Sect Hierarch, the Black Emperor of the Three Realms Sect. It was a space attribute Cultivation Technique that once held great prestige, shaking the Chuyun Realm.

Since the fall of the Black Emperor, the Void Sky Demon Technique had disappeared, and no one had mastered it since. Unexpectedly, it has reappeared now.

"You have good eyes. I, Hei Lian, am indeed the successor of the Black Emperor. Since you know of our sect's Divine Skills, why not surrender obediently? I can let you die more swiftly," Hei Lian said calmly.

"Hmph, don't think that because you've practiced the Void Sky Demon Technique of the Black Emperor, I will fear you. Our Cultivation is equivalent. I want to see how much power the once-prestigious Demon Technique holds in your hands!" Qin Meiniang formed a spell with her hands to steady her mind and launched another attack toward Hei Lian.

Strands of pink radiant light shot from the Divine Woman Dharma, like a peacock opening its tail, sweeping over Hei Lian and the dark shadow Dharma.

In the Void Palace, Yuan Ming listened to the conversation between the two women, frowning deeply.

This Black Emperor was the previous Sect Hierarch of the Three Realms Sect. To inherit his Cultivation Technique proves Hei Lian's unusual status within the sect.

Why would such a figure specifically come to hunt Nan Shangfeng?

What exactly is the relationship between Qin Meiniang and Nan Shangfeng, and did the two anticipate this attack?

Yuan Ming pondered silently, feeling that a few more layers of mystery shrouded Nan Shangfeng, but the urgent matter at hand was to find a way to escape Hei Lian's pursuit; otherwise, given his situation hiding in the Void Palace, whether he had any connection with Nan Shangfeng or not, Hei Lian would not spare him easily.

With this in mind, Yuan Ming focused on observing the combat between Hei Lian and Qin Meiniang, while also diverting a bit of his mind to send a voice transmission to Master Dian: "Fellow Daoist Dian, have you heard of the grand name of the Void Sky Demon Technique?"

Although he had crammed a lot of information about the Central Continent over these years, it was ultimately last-minute efforts, and Master Dian, a disciple of the Qingxuan Platform on the Central Continent, certainly knew more about the Black Emperor than he did.

"I've heard a little. The Void Sky Demon Technique was a unique Cultivation Technique created by the Sect Hierarch Black Emperor of the Three Realms Sect. It's a very rare space attribute Cultivation Technique, rumored to be a combination of a Space Divine Power from the Demon World and a Cultivation Technique from the Chuyun Realm by the Black Emperor. Practicing this Technique allows one to manipulate Space Power freely, and especially after breaking through to the Dharma manifestation Stage, a Void Heaven Dharma Image will condense, where a space forms within the Dharma, capable of swallowing all incoming attacks, leaving the Dharma body unscathed," Master Dian said. He wasn't sure why Yuan Ming was asking about this but sensed the gravity in Yuan Ming's tone and dared not delay, directly relaying the information he knew.

"Is there any secret to counter this Demon Technique?" Yuan Ming keenly asked.

"This... Fellow Daoist Yuan, you overestimate me. The Black Emperor's Cultivation Technique is beyond my deep understanding. Even the information I just shared is merely hearsay from many years ago, and I cannot vouch for its absolute accuracy." Master Dian shook his head repeatedly.

Yuan Ming also didn't harbor much hope for this; he was merely asking casually.

"However, as the saying goes, 'An eye for an eye,' to combat the Void Sky Demon Technique, using attacks with space attributes might have an extraordinary effect," Master Dian suggested.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Dian," Yuan Ming expressed his gratitude and asked no more, focusing his full attention on the battlefield outside, where new developments were unfolding.

Qin Meiniang launched attacks in rapid succession, with the Divine Woman Dharma launching grand strikes, the hazy pink spirit light illuminating the night sky, turning even the sea at the feet of the people into a pale pink, and amid the roaring waves, a sweet floral fragrance spread.

Yet, every Magical Attack hurled forward was absorbed and devoured by the shadowy Dharma before they could approach Hei Lian's body, all swallowed into the darkness.

"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin. I shall make you give up hope," Hei Lian crossed her arms and sneered, then abruptly raised her hand.

The chest of the shadowy Dharma suddenly exploded, revealing dozens of pitch-black tentacles rushing toward Qin Meiniang.

Qin Meiniang's expression changed slightly, transforming her hand spell, causing the dance of the Divine Woman Dharma to alter. In mid-air, numerous tiny pink buds sprang forth, and with crisp pops, the buds instantly bloomed, releasing miniaturized Divine Woman Dharma figures who laughed as they climbed onto the tentacles.

Wherever they made contact, pink spirit light instantly spread, causing the pitch-black tentacles to turn into floral powder falling into the sea within a few breaths.

Hei Lian disdainfully curled the corner of her mouth, pointing her finger toward her brow. The pitch-black tentacles transformed into pure shadow void, preventing the miniaturized Divine Woman Dharma figures from touching them; as soon as they approached, a mysterious suction pulled them into the darkness, merging them into the shadow.

Qin Meiniang gritted her teeth, casting spells, as more buds emerged beside her, attempting to use their numbers to fend off the assault.

The hazy light illuminated the surroundings, yet unnoticed, it left Qin Meiniang's shadow on the surface of the sea beneath her feet.

And in the next instant, countless tentacles surged from the shadow beneath Qin Meiniang's feet, reaching for her.

Startled to the core, Qin Meiniang decisively bit the tip of her tongue in an instant and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood. Instantly, her body transformed completely into falling floral powder, causing the tentacles to grab at nothing.

Immediately, her figure appeared on the shoulder of the Divine Woman Dharma, her face pale. Yet before she could even catch her breath, her face changed drastically, and she turned suddenly, looking in the direction of Nan Shangfeng.

At this moment, Nan Shangfeng was already tightly bound by the tentacles surging from the shadow beneath him, with the shadows around him spreading like mud, pulling his body continuously downward, swiftly merging completely into the shadow.
