Several hundred Holy Emperor experts hovered in the air above Mercenary City. They all frowned and were extremely stern. After believing that a tunnel to another world really was sealed beneath Mercenary City, they all sent messages to the Holy Emperor experts they knew so that even more Holy Emperor experts would hurry over. In the end, more and more experts gathered in Mercenary City.
This was because all of them had realized that this matter was directly related to the safety of the Tian Yuan Continent. It was far more serious than the invasion of the Beast God Continent in the past. Every single one of them had a responsibility to protect the Tian Yuan Continent, even if many of them were independent cultivators who did not belong to any organisation.
"Great elder Tian Jian, what should we do now? And can the seal underground stop the attacks from the experts of the World of Forsaken Saints?" A great elder from a protector clan asked anxiously. Right now, all they could do was gather here. Let alone knowing the situation of the seal, they couldn't even do anything to remedy the situation. They simply didn't have the strength to do so.
"I don't know about the situation underground either. Even though the ground has lost the protection of the barrier, it's still not a place where we can infiltrate. If we want to know the exact situation, we can only ask the barrier spirit," Tian Jian said with a heavy voice.
"The barrier of Mercenary City has already vanished. Does the barrier spirit still exist?" A Holy Emperor of the Ninth Heavenly Layer asked in surprise. He was also a great elder of a protector clan.
Probably no one on the Tian Yuan Continent knew the true identity of the barrier spirit aside from Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress. Even Tian Jian was the same. All of them believed that the barrier spirit of Mercenary City was a soul derived from the protective barrier. It lived and died with the barrier.
"In all these years, the barrier spirit has always been watching over the seal beneath Mercenary City. Although the barrier has vanished now, I'm certain that the barrier spirit still exists. I just don't know how to contact it," said Tian Jian.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the sobs of a girl suddenly rang out. Her sobs were extremely sorrowful, but when the sobs reached the ears of the Holy Emperor experts present, all of their expressions changed. This was because they could clearly hear the sobs, but they were unable to find the source of the sound. It was as if the sound had come out of nowhere.
"Have the experts from the World of Forsaken Saints come?" The ancestral emperor of the Felicity Empire growled. His face became extremely ugly. Just from the sobs, he could sense how terrifying the other party was.
"No, it's the voice of the barrier spirit!" Tian Jian cried out as he beamed with joy.
As expected, a girl who seemed to be twelve or thirteen slowly appeared in the air as soon as Tian Jian finished speaking. She was only a faint blur in the beginning, but she rapidly solidified at a visible rate. In just a few seconds, her illusionary figure had completely solidified. She seemed to be made of flesh and blood, more real than anything Jianchen had ever seen.
This time, Xiao Ling did not hide her existence. Her weak figure was completely exposed to the sunlight, allowing everyone to see her clearly. She constantly wiped away her tears with her small hands.
Everyone stared at Xiao Ling in unison. Their gazes were filled with curiosity and surprise. Including Mercenary City's Sky Sword, this was the first time all of them had seen Xiao Ling. However, many people were taken aback by the fact that Mercenary City's barrier spirit was actually such a well-behaved little girl.
"Barrier spirit, what's the situation down there? Is the seal still intact? "Sky Sword asked nervously.
"It's broken, it's broken. The seal has been broken by the bad guy on the other side. Wuwuwu!
Master's seal has been broken. It's over. It's over. What should we do? "Xiao Ling said as she cried. Her face was full of helplessness.
Hearing this, everyone's complexion became extremely ugly. Some of them even turned pale.
"Spirit of the barrier.
What's the strength of the World of Forsaken Saints like? "A great elder asked with a heavy voice.
"I don't know, I don't know. But the person who broke the seal is so powerful. He possesses the strength of Reciprocity at the very least. Xiao Ling can't beat him." Xiao Ling became afraid as soon as the Spiritking was mentioned.
"Origin? Is this the realm beyond the Holy Emperor? " A Holy Emperor independent cultivator murmured. On the Tian Yuan Continent, even the ten protector clans with a long history did not understand the realm beyond the Holy Emperor.
"Master said that above Sainthood is the Origin realm. The Origin realm is divided into three smaller realms, which are Receival, Returnance, and Reciprocity. The person who broke the seal possesses the strength of Reciprocity at the very least, while Xiao Ling is only at Returnance. How can she defeat him? Don't underestimate the strength of Returnance and Reciprocity. My master said that the difference between Returnance and Reciprocity is equivalent to the difference between the Holy Emperor and the Holy Emperor on the Tian Yuan Continent, "Xiao Ling explained.
Everyone present immediately gasped. Just how great was the difference between the Holy Emperor and the Holy Emperor? They all knew that the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth. They could not be compared at all.
"How is this possible? How can the World of Forsaken Saints be so powerful? If we compare the people who have just surpassed the Holy Emperor to Saint Rulers, then wouldn't the Holy Emperor be like a Heaven Saint Master? As for us Holy Emperors, we're only equivalent to an Earth Saint Master. What kind of joke is this to use several hundred Earth Saint Masters to deal with a Holy Emperor?" A Holy Emperor independent cultivator said in disbelief. The difference was just too great, so great that no one could imagine it.
Xiao Ling said anxiously, "The spatial passage has already been opened. It won't be long before they send people over. Master once said that he entered that world alone and killed many experts. I don't know if those people will hate Master. If they hate Master, then they will definitely kill you when they come over. You have to quickly think of a way."
No one said anything. They all grumbled inside. The World of Forsaken Saints even had experts at the peak of the Origin realm. No one could say for sure whether they had Receival and Returnance experts as well. Even in ancient times, when the Tian Yuan Continent was at its peak, they would not be their opponents, let alone now.
"The city lord left behind an extremely tough divine hall in our Mercenary City. I wonder if it's still useful," Tian Jian said in a deep voice. The strength of the divine hall was unquestionable. It could even kill experts like the Holy Emperor in the past, but Tian Jian was not particularly confident against Origin realm experts who had surpassed the Holy Emperor. This was because the divine hall had never been used to deal with Origin realm experts, so it was obviously impossible to know if it could block their attacks.
Xiao Ling's eyes immediately lit up. She said excitedly, "Yeah, we still have the divine hall that master left behind. That divine hall is very tough, so I probably won't be able to destroy it. I just don't know if it can block the attacks of Reciprocity experts or not. However, there's nothing else we can do right now. Hurry up and move master's divine hall over to guard the entrance."
"Alright, I'll go refine the divine hall immediately." After saying that, Sky Sword left. He also knew that time was of the essence. He had to refine the Shrine of Supremacy as soon as possible.
