This was Ruan Qingzhu's true strength.
This was the true use of the Winding Bamboo.
The change in the fight with Ren Xuexing was just a result of Ruan Qingzhu's experienced judgment and control. It was not the true use of the Cong Zhu.
Twisting Cong Zhu was obviously an ability that was extremely suitable for one against many. With this special ability, he didn't need any helpers at all. This was because the helpers would also be entangled by the Circling Bamboo, and the Circling Bamboo would also be unable to fully use it because they had to take care of their own people.
No wonder Ruan Qingzhu was the Yao Guang Academician guarding the mountain gate. No wonder Ruan Qingzhu would stand here alone to face the enemy.
Everyone felt that they had grasped the truth, but how could they break it?
In the blink of an eye, Ruan Qingzhu had already struck three people. The unreserved strike of such a powerful expert did not kill them on the spot, but immediately made them lose the ability to fight. Ruan Qingzhu actually managed to stop all the people from the three academies by herself. Green flags fluttered in the wind, and green bamboos grew. These people seemed to be dispensable decorations in the bamboo forest, and seemed to have no effect on Ruan Qingzhu at all.
"Sect Leader Cheng, are you still not going to act?" A cold voice drifted into Cheng Luozhu's ears. Island Lord Shang Ling of the Que Yue Academy looked at her coldly.
Cheng Luozhu's strength was on par with Shang Ling and the other peak characters. However, she was currently wielding the Transcendent Divine Weapon, the Heaven Gaze Mirror. Naturally, there would be more expectations placed on her. The fact that Cheng Luozhu and Ruan Qingzhu's relationship was not a secret. Now that they had not made a move yet, it was hard to imagine.
However, Cheng Luozhu did not move.
She had already made up her mind. The only reason she hadn't made a move yet was because she hadn't found a suitable opportunity. Shang Ling's purposeful urging made her very uncomfortable. She was already in a terrible mood.
She swept a glance at Shang Ling, and the coldness in her gaze caused Shang Ling to immediately shut his mouth. His gaze had already turned away, and he looked as if he was trying to avoid the topic.
"Everyone, disperse first!" Shang Ling commanded the battle.
Cheng Luozhu sneered.
You can come and go as you please. What do you think Ruan Qingzhu's Winding Cluster Bamboo is?
Sure enough, the people who wanted to leave. At this moment, he was unable to do as he wished, as if he had lost his way in the dense bamboo forest. Previously, they had tried their best to surround and attack the enemy. Now that they heard Shang Ling's instructions, they wanted to disperse. On the contrary, it messed up his plan.
Shang Ling felt like he was in a terrible fix. He had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but he didn't know how to use them. He looked at Cheng Luozhu again. This time, his gaze was much more sincere. It was a sincere expectation that Cheng Luozhu could change the situation. Right now, he and Cheng Luozhu were the only top-notch experts who could hold the fort.
This time, Cheng Luozhu no longer looked at him coldly and finally made his move.
It was not the Heaven Gazing Mirror, but an ancient zither. It floated in the air in front of Cheng Luozhu.
Transcendent-Grade Divine Weapons were strong, but they had to be used at the right time. Cheng Luozhu didn't use her Heaven's Net Mirror at the moment, but this zither was also very famous. It was her personal divine weapon — Smooth Sand. Cheng Luozhu waved his hand and stroked the zither strings with his fingers. With a deep sound, it streaked across the mountains.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard this. The green light and bamboo shadows that filled his eyes seemed to tremble at the sound.
"Retreat!" Cheng Luozhu said as he flicked his fingers again. This time, the sound was extremely clear. The people who were dizzy from the Green Flag Bamboo Forest seemed to see a quiet path in the bamboo forest, extending towards the bright and beautiful sunlight.
Everyone hurriedly stepped onto this path, and the sound of the zither rang out incessantly. The bamboo forest swayed. Amidst the cold murderous aura, there was a sense of harmony.
Suddenly, they reached the end of the path.
The mountain was still the same mountain. The stone steps were still the same stone steps.
Everyone seemed to wake up from a dream. When they turned their heads to look, they saw Ruan Qingzhu and Cheng Luozhu standing on the left and right of the stone steps, facing each other.
Both Winding Bamboo and Ten Finger Palace were not illusions. However, in the process of these two supernatural abilities being displayed and clashed. Everyone felt as if they had sunk into an illusory state.
It was only now that the people of the three great academies realized that there was still a huge gap between them and the two figures who stood at the top, even though they were all in the realm of the Four Physical Spirits.
"Teacher … …" Shang Ling's disciple moved to his side.
Both of them were great figures at the peak of the Four Physical Spirits, but Shang Ling was in a difficult situation when he faced Ruan Qingzhu's Winding Congzhu. In the end, Cheng Luozhu solved the problem, and he didn't even use a transcendent divine weapon.
Shang Ling nodded slightly. From his expression, he didn't seem unhappy that he was inferior to Cheng Luozhu.
"Don't interfere," he ordered.
There was strength in numbers, this was common sense. But when they faced Ruan Qingzhu just now, their numbers became a hindrance instead.
Winding Congzhu, huh … …
Shang Ling recalled Ruan Qingzhu's ability that he had just experienced. He didn't have any friendship with Ruan Qingzhu, and had only heard of the methods of the former Yao Guang Research Institute.
He was silent as he watched Ruan Qingzhu and Cheng Luozhu facing each other. The cold light hidden in the sleeves of his Water Play Robe flickered.
Megrez Peak.
After the large scale Starfall pointed here, the North Style Academy's dean Xu Mai, Tian Xuan Academician Song Yuan, and Tian Quan Academician Chen Jiu all rushed over here.
Chen Jiu was the most anxious. If the Starfall happened on Megrez Peak, wouldn't the casualties be his Megrez Peak disciples?
Just by looking at the Starfall, even the academicians wouldn't be able to distinguish whose Fated Star it was. Normally, this would require the Megrez Peak Observatory to confirm before reporting to the entire academy. But this time, the Observatory didn't send any news for a long time.
Something must have happened on Megrez Peak, everyone was thinking this way. Especially the theft of the seven storehouses not long ago, other than a thief, they couldn't think of a second possibility. The internal problems of Megrez Peak had already been exposed, but after Jin Qi took the blame, this wind of mutual distrust and suspicion was temporarily dispelled.
But the academicians were all clear that Jin Qi was sacrificed, and that hidden power on Megrez Peak was still there, and they still hadn't found any clues.
Now, was it this group of people who were causing trouble?
Were the thirty-two fire pillars also deployed by these people?
The group of people rushing to Megrez Peak already had many doubts on the way.
"Who's on the peak now?" Xu Mai asked Chen Jiu.
"Eh …" Chen Jiu actually couldn't answer.
Among the academicians, he really couldn't be said to be diligent. Jin Qi took care of the many trivial matters on Megrez Peak. The person who could call out the names of all the disciples on Megrez Peak was Jin Qi, and not him.
Towards this, Xu Mai didn't seem to find it strange. Seeing Chen Jiu couldn't answer, he instantly didn't pursue. Instead, Song Yuan snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.
The three of them led their respective disciples, and quickly arrived at Megrez Peak.
There was no one stationed at the foot of the mountain. Because of the Seven Star Trials, the disciples of each peak were slightly thinner, and with such a large scale Starfall happening, the disciples on Megrez Peak naturally had to investigate clearly. But until now, there was actually no return?
"To the Observatory." Xu Mai said, and the group hurriedly rushed towards the Observatory.
