I Beat Up Npcs in a Bizarre World

247: Chapter 247: Testing the Gods (Twenty-Three)Qianye raised her hand, and Red Thread mixed with golden power spread out from her hand.

Finally, it formed a pale golden protective barrier that descended from above at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ultimately, it enveloped the entire Ye Kingdom.

The souls of the commoners were blocked by the golden protective barrier and eventually returned to their bodies.

As their souls returned to their places, the commoners gradually woke up.

However, their eyes were dazed; clearly, they did not yet understand what had just happened.

Nangong Yan had no time to be shocked.

He had witnessed Qianye’s unimaginable power once again.

”Are… you also a god?” But why would she save humans like them?

Didn’t those so-called gods only think about…

Qianye did not answer his question.

The next moment, her figure vanished and reappeared, standing on a high point in the city, her expression grave.

This only temporarily resolved the crisis. At that moment, she spotted a dark shadow flitting by in the distance.

Qianye’s eyes sharpened, and she immediately gave chase, the Red Thread fluttering behind her.

When she reached an abandoned temple, the dark shadow vanished.

Just as Qianye was about to turn and leave, she heard a low, deep laugh.

”Venerable One, do you think this is enough to stop me?” A mysterious voice echoed within the temple. Qianye became vigilant, the Red Thread coiling in her hands.

”It’s too late, it’s already too late.” The mysterious person slowly revealed themselves, their entire body shrouded in a black robe, revealing only a pair of eyes gleaming with a ghostly light.

”Hehehe, the aura around the Venerable One seems to have weakened a bit more.” After saying this, they launched an attack at Qianye.

”I would like to test the Venerable One again~”

As they spoke, the intensity of their attacks became increasingly ruthless.

Qianye responded calmly, the Red Thread striking at the mysterious person like sharp blades.

During the battle, she unexpectedly noticed the mysterious person subconsciously protecting their waist.

Hanging at their waist was a black bell. Qianye’s eyes narrowed. Seizing the opportunity, she used the Red Thread to wrap around the bell and yanked it hard. The mysterious person shrieked instantly and dissipated into black smoke.

”Venerable One, we shall meet again.”

...

Qianye stared at the bell in her hand. The next instant, she clenched her fist, and a pile of debris scattered from her hand.

”This Venerable One will be waiting.”

Reappearing, Nangong Yan and the others had already returned to the imperial palace.

Qianye’s sudden appearance caused the atmosphere in the main hall to freeze for a moment.

”This… *cough cough*… is…”

Hearing the commotion, Qianye looked up for a moment. It was the Emperor of the Ye Kingdom, who was now at the end of his rope, his body’s functions failing.

The dragon aura on him had also dissipated.

No wonder those people dared to be so bold; the earthly emperor could no longer protect this land.

Who knew how long they had been planning this.

”Father, this is the master I mentioned.”

Nangong Yan stood up and introduced Qianye’s identity, though he didn’t go into detail, merely mentioning that she had outstanding abilities and that the commoners outside had been saved by her.

”To think it is so… so…”

”The master is truly as… *cough cough*… my son said, so young…”

”Please take a seat, quickly… take a seat.”

Qianye did not speak, only raising her hand, and a streak of golden power shot toward the Emperor.

The next moment, that streak of golden power submerged completely into the center of the Emperor’s brow.

This Emperor could not die right now.

Her origin power could preserve a sliver of dragon aura and protect this land for a while longer.

...

In the back hall, Nangong Yan eagerly wanted to ask what that golden light was just now.

”My origin power.”

”It can preserve a sliver of your father’s true qi.”

”...Thank you.” Nangong Yan’s expression was extremely complex.

Thinking back to how they had first interacted, no one would have expected that she would be the one to save them.

Qianye shook her head. ”I did not do it for your father.”

”He is the earthly emperor.”

”As long as he possesses the dragon aura, there is still a glimmer of hope.”
