As for the longswords that remained motionless, they contained only Domain or Law.
And the giant sword at the very top still showed no signs of movement.
“Forget it, the gains from this trip are already enough. Time to withdraw.”
After pondering for a while, Ye Lin turned and left.
The gains from this trip had already exceeded his expectations.
Not only did he comprehend the power of the Sword Dao Rules, but he also absorbed so much Sword Intent.
Once he returned, he would use his own power to suppress and integrate these Sword Intent, eventually forming a supreme Sword Intent.
He would then incorporate his own Rule power into it, and by then, with a single strike, even a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator could be slain.
Although he could only unleash one strike, that was more than enough.
Upon arriving outside the Holy Sword Forbidden Ground, Ye Lin couldn't help but stop when he saw the girl lying on the ground.
“Hiss, this person looks somewhat familiar.”
Ye Lin stood there, looking at the woman who was cultivating to heal her injuries, and stroked his chin in thought.
“Isn’t this that Elf Clan girl? How did she end up here?”
After much thought, Ye Lin realized who the woman in front of him was; it was the Elf Clan girl whose space ring he had previously plundered.
However, what was strange was how this person had come here. This matter was indeed a bit odd.
Just as Ye Lin was about to leave, a hand grabbed his ankle.
Ye Lin turned his head to look, and the owner of this hand was Shangguan Xihe.
At this moment, Shangguan Xihe was staring intently at him.
“You… are you the scoundrel who robbed my space ring?”
Shangguan Xihe's voice was clear as she immediately questioned Ye Lin.
“space ring? What space ring?”
Ye Lin looked utterly confused.
“Also, who are you? Do you know that this is very impolite?”
After speaking, Ye Lin moved his leg, shaking off Shangguan Xihe's hand, and distanced himself from Shangguan Xihe, looking utterly bewildered.
Seeing Ye Lin's reaction, Shangguan Xihe wavered.
Could it not be him? But the voice really sounded so similar, not just similar, it was exactly the same.
“Are you really not that scoundrel?”
“What scoundrel? What exactly are you talking about? Also, do I know you? How inexplicable.”
“I'm leaving. Stop saying such inexplicable things.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, he turned and flew into the distance, while Shangguan Xihe looked at Ye Lin's retreating figure and fell into contemplation.
Then she looked at her empty middle finger, her current injuries, and the Holy Sword Forbidden Ground in front of her; she almost wanted to cry.
What kind of misfortune was this? Her space ring was gone, all the treasures she had collected in her life were gone, and she was injured. If she were to encounter others with ill intentions, her life might be in danger.
Moreover, the Elf Clan itself was a small group, with only the Elf Queen, a Combined Dao Stage True Lord, within the clan.
Although a hundred people from the Elf Clan had entered this time, their strength was not great. Seeking protection from other Elf Clan members would likely lead to the annihilation of the Elf Clan.
After all, the female Elves were as beautiful as flowers, and the male Elves were so handsome that even men liked them. Which of the myriad races didn't know such news?
Therefore, there were many races hostile to the Elf Clan. She was now a burden, and she did not want to burden other clan members.
And she was the recognized number one Prodigy of the Elf Clan. She was very clear about the strength of her other clan members.
No one could protect her in her current state.
Furthermore, her identity was known to all the races that had entered this time, so her identity was extremely dangerous now. If she were caught by others, she might…
She didn't know why the Yao Race who ambushed her earlier hadn't killed or captured her.
Looking back at the Holy Sword Forbidden Ground, the Sword Spirits within the Holy Sword Forbidden Ground had been completely enraged by Ye Lin.
If they couldn't defeat Ye Lin, could they not defeat others?
At this moment, the entire Holy Sword Forbidden Ground was in turmoil. Once one stepped in, it would provoke those enraged Sword Spirits to attack en masse. Therefore, her ancestors' treasured sword was also gone.
Just now, she had only just stepped in when she was blasted away by Sword Intent.
And now, if she were to step in, those enraged Sword Spirits might directly kill her.
To think that she, the dignified Elf Clan Princess, the Elf Queen's most beloved youngest daughter, had ever been so miserable?
It was simply terrible luck.
“No, wait for me.”
After a moment of thought, Shangguan Xihe got up and chased after Ye Lin.
Now, only Ye Lin could protect her. After the previous incident, she had confirmed that Ye Lin's strength was many times greater than hers.
Moreover, even if Ye Lin encountered danger because of her, she would just consider herself unlucky and would absolutely not burden Ye Lin.
…
In a palace, Ye Lin looked at Shangguan Xihe, who had tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but cover his forehead in pain.
“Big sister, can you please stop pestering me? I have important matters right now, important matters, do you understand?”
If it weren't for the fact that the woman in front of him was the Elf Queen's daughter, he would have drawn his sword and cut her down long ago.
According to the panel, the woman in front of him was the Elf Queen's most beloved daughter, and he simply didn't believe that she had no protective measures on her.
If he were to kill the woman in front of him, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that he would be retaliated against by the Elf Queen.
The retaliation of a Combined Dao Stage True Lord, who wouldn't be afraid?
Even a top-tier force would probably be unable to sleep soundly every day.
Moreover, killing someone's daughter was such a serious matter that even if he wanted to protect himself, it would be unrealistic.
“I won't. Your strength is formidable, and there are only a dozen days left until it ends. You only need to protect me for a dozen days, and after we go out, my mother will definitely reward you handsomely.”
Seeing Shangguan Xihe's serious expression, Ye Lin couldn't help but feel a toothache.
The next moment, Ye Lin's mind shifted, and he asked, not knowing what he had thought of.
“It is rumored that your Elf Clan has a kind of Holy Water. After drinking it, one's body can be purified, making it more aligned with the Dao, and it also has the ability to revive the dead and regrow flesh and bone. As long as there's still a breath left, it can save a life.”
“And it is also greatly beneficial for Cultivating.”
After Ye Lin finished asking, Shangguan Xihe looked at him with full vigilance.
“What do you want to say?”
“It's very simple. I can protect you, but my condition is that after we go out, you give me a barrel of your Holy Water. How about it?”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, Shangguan Xihe's eyes widened as she stared at Ye Lin, her facial expression extremely exaggerated.
“A… a barrel? Are you crazy? Do you know that our Elf Clan's Holy Water only has a yield of one bowl per year? You're asking me for a barrel?”
After Shangguan Xihe finished speaking, Ye Lin couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He had long heard that the Elf Clan's most precious treasure was the Holy Water, but he hadn't expected its value to be so high.
“Then half a barrel, otherwise you can get lost.”
Listening to Ye Lin's words, Shangguan Xihe couldn't help but fall silent.
She could only seek help from Ye Lin now.
She couldn't even unleash five-tenths of her Peak strength now. Once she was caught by other races, they would likely use this to threaten her mother.
Her mother, as the Elf Queen, had already expended a great deal of effort for the Elf Clan, and she didn't want her mother to worry and toil for her.
“Alright, half a barrel it is. I'll give it to you when we go out.”
