The Side Character Who Wins by Doing Nothing

Xie Ningyuan was helpless, but the situation was too urgent to delay. He could only try his best to persuade her.

"Didn’t I tell you? The method I used to seal it this time is vastly different from before. The Heart Demon has also been weakened. Even if I use more power now, the seal won’t necessarily break..."

Lu Sangjiu stared at him. "Won’t necessarily? That means it’s still possible."

"Xie Ningyuan, have I or have I not told you that you need to stay alive for me? I don’t want ’won’t necessarily.’ I need you to be certain you’ll live!"

Seeing her determined gaze, Xie Ningyuan was rendered speechless. ’How can I tell her that it might be truly difficult for me to stay alive?’

It wasn’t that he didn’t cherish his life. It was just... his feelings were impossible to suppress.

As he stood there in a daze, Lu Sangjiu gently placed a hand on the back of his.

"Xie Ningyuan, trust me."

At this moment, Lu Sangjiu no longer hesitated, her gaze resolute.

However, just as she was about to use the Immortal Demon Attraction, she heard Luo Linlang’s voice from behind her. "Little Junior Sister!"

Lu Sangjiu froze. She turned to find Luo Linlang and Shen Yuzhao hurrying over from behind.

She was instantly surprised. "You weren’t in the City Lord Mansion?"

Luo Linlang looked at the City Lord Mansion, its Great Array fully active, her own expression anxious. She shook her head. "We discovered something, but we were ambushed before we could get back!"

"Third Junior Brother and I were trapped in an array, so our Communication Talismans couldn’t reach you. We only just managed to break free. What’s going on at the City Lord Mansion?"

Lu Sangjiu had thought Luo Linlang and Shen Yuzhao were also in the City Lord Mansion. She never imagined they had been separated as well. Her expression darkened. "This is bad. If it’s just Gu Jue and Yan Zui, they won’t be able to hold out for much longer!"

Lu Sangjiu’s gaze hardened. She said to the two who were attempting to attack the Great Array, "This array requires the power of the Divinity Transformation Stage to break. You don’t need to try anymore. Stand aside."

Luo Linlang didn’t know what Lu Sangjiu was planning. She only heard that it required the power of the Divinity Transformation Stage, but it was obvious that none of them were capable of that.

Then, her mind raced, and she suddenly had an idea.

She spun around and grabbed Lu Sangjiu’s wrist. "Little Junior Sister, I have an idea!"

Lu Sangjiu was taken aback. "You have an idea?"

Luo Linlang nodded repeatedly. "Take out your Six-sided Exquisite Dice! I heard First Senior Brother say that its Thunder Attribute attack is incredibly powerful. It might be able to break this array!"

Lu Sangjiu immediately shook her head in disappointment. "It’s no use. Which face of this Magic Treasure you get is purely up to luck. I’ve tried so many times before and have never been able to activate its most powerful Thunder Attribute attack. How could I possibly succeed now..."

Before she could finish, Luo Linlang smiled gently at her. "It might not work if you rely on yourself, but don’t you still have me?"

As soon as she spoke, her pupils were engulfed in an azure blue, churning like ocean waves.

She looked at Lu Sangjiu, and meeting her surprised and anxious gaze, she declared word by word, in a tone that brooked no refusal, "The next time Lu Sangjiu injects Spiritual Power into the Six-sided Exquisite Dice, she will get a Thunder Attribute attack."

Words and Laws Follow. After Luo Linlang spoke, nothing seemed to happen, yet Lu Sangjiu felt as if some unseen power had been poured into her entire body.

At the same time, Luo Linlang’s face went deathly pale. She staggered, nearly losing her footing.

Shen Yuzhao, standing right beside her, caught her just in time to keep her from falling.

To Lu Sangjiu’s surprise, she didn’t know if it was because Luo Linlang’s cultivation had improved or if she’d simply grown more proficient, but this use of the Word Spirit Technique was different.

’Or maybe it’s because she used it on an inanimate object this time, so the backlash is much weaker than when she forced Ye Zhiyao to kneel?’

Her current state was simply because her spiritual power and Spiritual Power had been almost completely drained at the same time. So, while she looked wretched, she would actually recover quickly with a little rest.

Knowing Luo Linlang would be fine, Lu Sangjiu couldn’t let this use of the Word Spirit Technique go to waste.

In the next instant, she took out the Six-sided Exquisite Dice without a second thought and poured her Spiritual Power into it.

Instantly, immense Thunder Power surged, and the Spiritual Energy in Lu Sangjiu’s body began to pour uncontrollably into the Six-sided Exquisite Dice!

Only when she was nearly drained dry did the condensed Thunder Force finally shoot out like an arrow from a bow, smashing violently toward the City Lord Mansion!

BOOM!

The deafening thunderclap echoed across the sky. Anyone who witnessed this scene would never believe it was merely an attack launched by a Golden Core Stage cultivator using a Magic Treasure.

It could only be said that the Six-sided Exquisite Dice was truly worthy of being an Immortal Artifact modified by a Body Integration Realm Artifact Refiner. Despite its major drawbacks, the power of the Thunder Attribute attack one could luckily draw was simply astounding!

With that single strike, the Divinity Transformation Array around the City Lord Mansion shattered with a deafening roar!

Although the attack was mostly neutralized by the destruction of the Great Array, the people inside the City Lord Mansion were still affected. The moment the array was destroyed, waves of pained howls rang out.

Clutching a Spirit Stone to recover her Spiritual Energy, Lu Sangjiu charged into the City Lord Mansion without pause. "Third Senior Brother, take care of Second Senior Sister! Wait for us here!"

Xie Ningyuan followed right on Lu Sangjiu’s heels, rushing in after her. Shen Yuzhao called out worriedly, "Be careful!"

By breaking the Great Array, they had naturally alerted everyone inside the City Lord Mansion.

As a result, numerous people emerged to intercept them on their way to the guest quarters.

Lu Sangjiu ignored them completely, shouting over her shoulder, "I’m leaving them to you!"

Xie Ningyuan answered with resignation. "...You be careful."

’Now that they were here, it was obvious Lu Sangjiu would be even less willing to let him fight. He should be grateful she was even leaving these unimportant small-timers for him.’

Even though they were just simple, low-level cannon fodder, Xie Ningyuan was still diligent. He would absolutely not allow them to cause her the slightest bit of trouble.

As Lu Sangjiu used the Flying Cloud Step to break through the encirclement, he blocked the path of her pursuers, his expression indifferent. "Your opponent is me."

With Xie Ningyuan holding back the interceptors, Lu Sangjiu finally managed to burst into the courtyard of the guest quarters.

The place was already in shambles. Yan Zui was locked in a bitter struggle against the City Lord’s subordinates, while Gu Jue fought the City Lord by himself.

Just as Lu Sangjiu had predicted, while Gu Jue could hold his own against the City Lord, defeating him was still proving to be incredibly difficult.

Moreover, Yan Zui was fighting a dozen other cultivators by herself, and Gu Jue occasionally had to divert his attention to help her. Because of this, both of them were in a wretched state.

When Lu Sangjiu arrived, she saw Gu Jue swing his sword back to strike a cultivator who was trying to ambush Yan Zui. In doing so, he exposed his back to the City Lord.

The City Lord launched a palm strike at him. Seeing that the blow was unavoidable, Lu Sangjiu shouted, "Duoduo!"

An Ice Wall abruptly materialized between them, obstructing the City Lord for an instant.

However, Duoduo was only at the Golden Core Stage, so the Ice Wall was shattered in an instant. The force of the City Lord’s attack was only reduced by half as it continued toward Gu Jue’s back.

But... when experts clash, an instant is all it takes.
