Seeing Su Lies stunned expression, Gu Qingluan couldnt help but burst into laughter.

Master, you just tricked me, didnt you? Su Lie let out a sigh of relief.

I didnt trick you.

Su Lies expression immediately froze. You you really have no plan?

Theres no need for a plan. If Gu Zhicheng hadnt been so eager to consume the Universe Stabilizer, perhaps I would have been more cautious. But now, theres nothing worth watching, let alone mentioning.

Su Lie asked, Is there anything I dont know about? I witnessed those high-ranking experts who surrounded him crumbling like powerless infants in his grasp.

The Universe Stabilizer requires a calm and composed state of mind to have the best effect. Given Gu Zhichengs condition at that time, its clear that he couldnt achieve that. The more his emotions fluctuate, the less effective the Universe Stabilizer becomes. Originally, it could have helped him stabilize his newly elevated levels, but now its impossible. Without this additional effect, his Saint Stage is unstable.

..

Although he had reached the Saint Stage, there were times when he couldnt fully exert his Saint Stage power, making him much weaker than other Saints.

Gu Qingluan, who hadnt reached the Saint Stage yet, had the strength to fight against him.

As they conversed, Gu Qingluans smile suddenly grew strained.

Be careful!

Swis.h.!.+

A sharp sword pierced through the back of the carriage.

Gu Qingluan held Feng Yuanxi tightly and evaded the attack.

Boom!

The carriage shattered into pieces.

Gu Qingluan and a few others were thrown out of the carriage.

Several forces of profound energy attacked from all directions.

They are experts of the Heavenly Stage! Su Lie exclaimed urgently.

Gu Qingluans slender hand fluttered, radiating a bright light that formed a barrier, protecting everyone in the middle.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The barrier flickered and s.h.i.+mmered as the intense light screen endured the a.s.sault.

Feng Yuanxi tightly grabbed her clothes, his gaze scanning the surroundings with icy coldness. Eight men in black attire descended from above, surging with profound energy, their hands swiftly swinging as they relentlessly attacked the barrier. Liu Mengs face turned pale. Miss Gu, they must be after me! Hurry, take Xiaonan and leave!

These people must be after the Universe Stabilizer. Its allure was too great for them to maintain their sanity.

Gu Qingluan shook her head. Youre wrong. Theyre here to take my life!

Their malicious intent was evident, showing no mercy in their attacks. They didnt seem interested in capturing anyone alive.

Eight high-ranking experts, the mastermind behind them didnt hesitate to go all out.

After speaking, Gu Qingluan turned to Su Lie and said, Protect Xiaonan!

Yes! Su Lie wanted to pull the young master closer to himself.

Feng Yuanxi glanced coldly at him. Dont worry about me, help Mother!

How could he push all the pressure onto Mother? He gathered his profound energy, aimed at one of the enemies, and struck!

A surge of purple light shot out like a pillar of water.

The black-clothed individual evaded in mid-air.

Boom!

The purple light struck the ground, creating a large crater.

Gu Qingluan was slightly surprised.

Has Xiaonans cultivation improved again?

As the thought crossed her mind, her attention was swiftly redirected by the enemy. Su Lie and Liu Meng were witnessing Gu Xiaonans attack for the first time, leaving them utterly astonished and speechless.

This child was so young, yet his strength was not inferior to theirs! They couldnt let themselves be outdone, or they would have lost face!

The two of them rose up simultaneously, joining the battle.

The eight black-clad individuals, realizing they couldnt break through the opponents protective barrier, exchanged glances and said, Form the formation!

The eight of them landed in eight different positions, swiftly forming hand seals.

Eight beams of light simultaneously shot towards Gu Qingluan and the others.

Everyone, be careful! The protective barrier wont hold much longer!

Sensing the danger, Gu Qingluan alerted her comrades while also lifting her son into her arms.

With a loud boom, the barrier was shattered by the concentrated force.

Su Lie and Liu Meng were injured by the residual shockwave, while Gu Qingluans body emitted a faint glow, blocking the invading shockwave. However, she was still pushed back a few steps by the impact.

Mother, are you okay? Feng Yuanxi asked, his entire body stiff, afraid of becoming a burden to her..
