She stood with hands clasped behind her back, sword intent crisscrossing around her, that perfectly cold face completing the picture.
Beauty that stole the breath.
But Ye Yu had no time to admire it.
He was already racing through countermeasures.
Some time ago, when he took over Tongtian Pavilion, Luo Shu had warned him: the God Alliance had many external enemies.
And the stance of the woman before him looked exactly like someone here for revenge.
There was no doubt about it.
Truth be told, by choosing to serve as Lord of the God Alliance at Tongtian Pavilion, Ye Yu had already considered that danger might come.
He simply hadn’t expected it to come this fast—and this strong.
From the surge of divine power around her, she was at least Ancient God Realm to start.
With his current cultivation at mid New God Realm, picking a fight?
Suicide.
So Ye Yu frantically weighed how to get out alive.
Just then, Luo Shu’s voice sounded in his sea of mind.
“Kid, this woman is from Ancient Sword Gorge, a mortal enemy of our Tongtian Pavilion. You’re still weak—not her match. As long as you don’t admit you’re with Tongtian Pavilion, you won’t die.
“I’ll help prove it. But don’t forget you are Lord of the God Alliance at Tongtian Pavilion. If you get the chance in the future, rebuild it.”
Hearing that, Ye Yu nodded.
He couldn’t help a sigh.
Even at the brink of life and death, Luo Shu was thinking of Tongtian Pavilion. Rare indeed.
A loyal hound who gave his life to the Alliance.
Ye Yu almost wanted to give him a thumbs-up.
But how exactly was Luo Shu going to help?
Curious, Ye Yu suddenly felt a paw clamp around his neck.
A familiar voice came from behind.
“Heng Xuanzhen, leave at once, or I’ll twist this kid’s neck off!”
At that, both Ye Yu and the woman called Heng Xuanzhen froze on the spot.
Brother... this is how you plan to help me?
Ye Yu roared back via heart-voice transmission.
Luo Shu’s face didn’t change.
“You don’t understand. Members of Ancient Sword Gorge are Celestial World immortals—sanctimonious to the core. Maybe she’ll soften and spare your life. Trust me, that’s how it goes in the God Realm novels! The righteous types love doing this!”
After that answer, Ye Yu felt numb all over.
He’d imagined countless possibilities—just not this one.
Brother, even if you think immortals are sanctimonious and you want to threaten her into leaving with someone’s life, at least pick someone she cares about, right?
But I’m a Yokai.
Yes, immortals and demons are mortal enemies—but do you think Yokai have a much better reputation with immortals?
They’re about the same, okay?
You’re using a Yokai’s life to threaten an immortal?
What if she’d rather you hurry up and kill me?
No sooner had he finished that last thought—
—the goddess named Heng Xuanzhen said coolly, “If you want to kill him, kill him. What’s that to me?”
Ye Yu glanced ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) back at Luo Shu and said nothing, but the look on his face said everything.
See? Exactly as I guessed.
But Heng Xuanzhen was not the sort to be coaxed by a few soft words.

In that case, could the Shattered Sword War-Demon Art be used against a god-sword?
