Lin Xuan Qi passed the pill over to Liu Shao, and Liu Shao popped it into his mouth immediately.

Warmth from Liu Shao's body could be felt when the pill started to heal the wounds of Liu Shao.

Liu Shao held his hand on his chest and plunged his sword into the ground, using it as support to get himself up onto his feet.

"Heng, be careful and give him whatever you've got.

"He is at least Foundation Establishment Level."

Liu Shao shouted at the leader of the guards, Heng, who was now standing in front of the tent with his men.

They stood their ground with their swords in their hands, separating the eunuch from Lin Xuan Qi and the others inside the tent.

"Hehe." The eunuch licked his lower lip and stretched out both of his hands.

His long and thin fingers started to give out an eerie red glow.

Now that he knew that the eunuch was at least Foundation Establishment Level, the leader of the guards took out the most powerful artifact he had.

It was a turtle shell with scriptures carved on it, looking ancient and old.

The leader of the guards began to direct his Spirit Qi into it.

Whoosh.

Trails of red glow could only be seen streaking towards the guards when the eunuch made his move.

Fortunately, the turtle shell gave out a white glow, and the glow began to enlarge and envelop the tent and the guards within.

They were now under a white glowing dome.

Thud.

The eunuch's strike hit the white glow, and the white glow was hard like a wall, stopping the eunuch's strike and giving out a loud thud.

After stumbling a few steps back, the eunuch gave out a high-pitched loud roar.

He tried and came at the white glow with his red glowing hands again.

Boom!

The white glow shimmered from the impact, and Heng had to stumble a step back.

Blood started dripping out from the side of Heng's mouth.

Heng quickly took a deep breath and directed his Spirit Qi into the turtle shell.

The white glow regained its form and was glowing at full strength again.

Lin Xuan Qi watched and thought about how crucial it was to have an artifact in times like this.

"How much longer can you hold him off?" He asked.

Heng glanced at him and said, "Maybe two more strikes."

"Liu Shao, are you able to help him wield this turtle shell?" Lin Xuan Qi glanced over at Liu Shao and asked.

He wasn't sure how it worked with artifacts, but if it only required Spirit Qi, then Liu Shao might be able to help.

Liu Shao nodded his head and said, "I can help with my Spirit Qi."

He walked over to Heng and held his hand on the turtle shell.

With the help of Liu Shao, the turtle shell gave out a brighter white glow.

"Hehe. Looks like you are more troublesome than I had expected."

The eunuch said and suddenly lunged at the white glow.

Boom!

When the eunuch's strike hit the white glow, it only gave out a loud booming sound.

The white glow remained steadfast and glowed as bright as it was.

Frustrated, the eunuch reached into his sleeve pocket and snickered.

"Hehe, you are not the only ones to have extra help." The eunuch said while he threw out something at the white glow.

Yellow paper with inscriptions written in red flew at the white glow.

They latched onto the white glow and started to emit yellowish liquid.

Sizzle.

When the yellowish liquid contacted the white glow, steam and sounds of something boiling could be heard.

"The talismans are trying to dissolve the protective white glow." Heng glanced back at Sima Long with a worried look and said, "Master Long, prepare to escape with Mistress Zhang Jie."

"What should we do?" Zhang Jie held Sima Long closer.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin, and Liu Shi Shi.

He whispered to them, "Try and run in separate directions; it's the best option that some of us survive."

To him, survival was more important than anything else.

If he was strong enough, he would be able to try and fight off the eunuch. But right now, he wasn't able to do so.

Lin Xuan Qi's Daoist Five-Elements Cultivation Technique was only at the entrance of Qi Concentration Level.

He wasn't about to try and be a hero to see if he could fight against the eunuch.

Xue Cong, Yue Jie, and Yue Xin tugged onto his clothes and shook their heads.

They would rather that he try to escape while they bought him time.

Liu Shi Shi took a step forward.

She wasn't going to let anyone hurt him.

Sima Long also had to make the hard decision to let Zhang Jie escape before him.

His child and her life were the most important things for him now.

He was sure that the Sima Family would avenge him if he died.

"Hehe." The eunuch gave out another high-pitched laughter when he saw that the white glow was getting weaker.

His talisman was slowly grinding its way through their protection.

And when it got through, it was time for a bloodbath.

The thought of what would happen made him excited, and he couldn't help but lick his bright red lips with his tongue.

Boom!

Finally, he made his move and lunged at the white glow for the last time.

His long and thin fingers, covered in a crimson glow, plunged through the white glow.

The eunuch emitted his Spirit Qi into the white glow through his fingers.

Crack.

The white glow surrounding the eunuch's fingers gave out a cracking sound.

"Hehe." With success near, he gave out his familiar high-pitched laughter.

The eunuch then tried to tear the white glow open by pulling his hands sideways apart.

Zhao Jia Rui, who had recovered some of her energy by now, shouted at Lin Xuan Qi.

"The Jade Pendant. Let them have the jade pendant now!"

She pointed at Heng and Liu Shao, who were holding the fort and wielding the turtle shell.

"This?" Lin Xuan Qi took out the jade pendant that was the shape of a peach with two kids holding onto the peach below it.
