Upon hearing Mu Jiuyao say that the First Elder was behind them, Chu Yun felt a slight wave of relief. As long as the First Elder was here, things would be manageable; at the very least, they would no longer be forced to endure those thirty lashes.
Mu Jiuyao held Chu Yun by the waist as they landed on the ground. A flicker of killing intent crossed his eyes as he looked at Dongfang Xiao opposite them. Dongfang Xiao, however, did not take Mu Jiuyao seriously at all and continued to swing his whip. This strike was even more powerful than the previous one; had it landed on Chu Yun, she would undoubtedly have been severely injured.
Just as the whip was about to reach Mu Jiuyao and Chu Yun, a surge of immense Spiritual Power appeared from behind them, swatting the whip back along its original trajectory. Dongfang Xiao, unable to withstand the force of this energy, staggered back several paces, clutching his chest as he glared toward the area behind Chu Yun.
