Next to the rippling pond.
Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family held their breaths as their hearts beat faster.
The "Jade Water Sky Lotus" and the "Spirit Flesh Snow Jade Lotus" in the pond were legendary treasures. In the current world, they were extremely rare.
Among them, the Green Water Sky Lotus had many uses.
As for the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus, it was extremely profound and had the ability to create a peerless physical body.
In comparison, the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus could create a physical body, which made it even more valuable.
However, the Green Water Sky Lotus was more useful to everyone. It could refine the mind, increase the evolution of one's state of existence, and even heal injuries.
"So many Green Water Sky Lotuses … we're rich!"
A disciple of the Ji Family had an excited expression as he leaped toward the pond.
"Quick, take action!"
A genius from Nine Darkness Palace couldn't help but leap into the air and grab a Green Water Sky Lotus.
The expressions of Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan changed slightly, but it was too late to stop him.
Weng ~ Bo!
Suddenly, a strand of surging and shocking might of water surged out from within the pond, and a layer of brilliant ripples arose on the surface of the pond.
Peng! Peng!
The hands of the two geniuses were sent flying by the ripple when they were about to approach the Green Water Sky Lotus.
Wah!
The two half-step King geniuses spat out blood in the air.
Hu ~ Bo!
The ripple in the pond seemed to have its own intelligence and formed a green whirlpool that soared into the sky and pulled the two geniuses.
"Save me …!"
The two geniuses struggled in the air with fear on their faces.
Jiu Wuji harrumphed coldly and made a grabbing motion with one hand. A black hand made of light shot through the air and grabbed that genius.
"Ji Lan" of the Ji Family held a silver whip in her hand. Purple light flowed around it like a spirit snake, coiling around the genius on her side.
However, she was slightly too slow, and the genius's body was devoured by the green whirlpool.
"Arghhh!"
The lower half of the genius's body was torn into pieces by the ripple, and his entire body was devoured by the whirlpool.
Ji Lan felt a strong force. Her delicate body was shaken, and she was almost pulled into the Blue Water Ripple.
Since that genius' body had been torn to shreds, the silver whip in her hand became lighter, and she retracted it.
Ji Lan's face paled. She was still scared.
The unknown power within the pond definitely had the ability to devour Void God Realm Kings.
Previously.
The reason why Zhao Feng, Jiu Wuji, and the others didn't act rashly was because they felt a powerful water spiritual aura coming from the pond.
There was a moment of silence beside the pond.
The faces of those from the Nine Darkness Palace and Ji Family were filled with fear as they unconsciously distanced themselves from the pond.
The two people who attacked just now were both half-step Kings.
Jiu Wuji was powerful and experienced, so he only barely managed to save one of them with his fast reaction speed.
The Ji Clan's genius died without a corpse to be seen. He died without a burial ground, which made people's hearts turn cold.
"That pool of water seems to possess intelligence. It will automatically attack its target."
"What kind of unknown power is hiding in the pond?"
Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family stared at the pond and discussed in low voices.
At this moment in time:
The surface of the pond became calm once more, and it seemed to be just a normal pond.
"As I thought, this pond doesn't just have intelligence."
Zhao Feng murmured as a faint smile appeared on his face.
He and Nan Gongsheng were the first to arrive, but they stood next to the pond and didn't do anything.
"Young Sir Zhao, can you tell me what's so mysterious about this pond?"
Ji Lan hadn't recovered from the shock and asked Zhao Feng humbly.
The purple-haired youth beside the pond had a faint smile in his eyes, as if he could see through everything.
Hearing that:
Both sides looked at Zhao Feng.
"It's very simple."
Zhao Feng said calmly, "Everything has intelligence, and this pond has given birth to a powerful Water Yao Spirit under such a good environment."
Water Yao Spirit?
Everyone paused and started to think.
"Simply put, the pond itself is a powerful being."
Zhao Feng's eyes twinkled.
Bo!
As soon as he said that, a ripple appeared on the surface of the pond.
It was as if "it" was replying to Zhao Feng's words.
Surprise flashed across Jiu Wuji's face.
The pond itself was a powerful being, and the Water Spiritual Energy it contained could rip apart Void God Realm Kings.
Apart from that:
Zhao Feng was only at the Origin Core Realm, but he was able to see through the mysteries of the pond so easily. This made Jiu Wuji wary, and he couldn't see through Zhao Feng.
"Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, do you have a way to obtain the Green Water Sky Lotuses in the pond?"
Jiu Wuji asked in a deep tone.
He had interacted with the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo before, and he knew how wicked they were.
"A way? I'm thinking …. "
Zhao Feng propped his chin with one hand and started to think.
This made Jiu Wuji and company feel like they were choked and speechless.
Maybe Zhao Feng had already thought of a way, but he just didn't want to say it.
Or maybe he wasn't sure yet and wanted to observe for a bit longer.
Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family stood next to the pond and thought of a plan.
"We can use a whip weapon to obtain the Green Water Sky Lotuses. That way, even if we don't succeed, there won't be any danger to our lives."
An elder from Nine Darkness Palace said.
Immediately, a half-step King Monarch with a whip stepped forward.
"Ha!"
The half-step Void God Realm roared as the dark silver whip in his hand suddenly extended dozens of yards. The tip turned into a tentacle that grabbed toward one of the Green Water Sky Lotuses.
Right as the dark silver whip was about to grab the Green Water Sky Lotuses:
Bam!
Within the pond, a layer of brilliant blue water rippled and blasted the dark silver metal whip away.
At the same time, a powerful surge of Water Spiritual Energy flowed through the whip.
Bam!
The half-step Void God Realm flew back and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was severely injured and couldn't stand up for a long time.
"The Water Spiritual Energy contained in this pond is too strong. It'll be hard to fight against it without the battle-power of an Emperor."
Jiu Wuji's eyebrows furrowed as he had a solemn expression.
Next.
Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family thought of all kinds of ideas to obtain the Green Water Sky Lotuses.
Those ideas included draining and diverting the water from the pond, and using extremely strong flames to deal with the pond. He even came up with the bold idea of moving mountains and filling ponds.
However, all of these ideas failed.
In the process of implementing these methods, they were all obstructed and counterattacked by the Clear Pond.
"The pond itself is a huge individual, a life form with intelligence. It can even hear your ideas, and with its powerful Water Spiritual Energy, how could it just sit there and wait for death? "
Zhao Feng had a mocking expression.
Hearing this, Jiu Wuji was slightly annoyed and felt his face losing face.
He was one of the strongest Kings of the older generation. When had a junior ever told him what to do?
"Young Sir Zhao is right. If we want to deal with the pond, we have to treat it like an intelligent lifeform. We have to find its weakness and attack it. "
Ji Lan from the Ji Family didn't believe it.
Jiu Wuji suppressed the anger and unhappiness in his heart. He knew that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo weren't easy to deal with.
In the previous battle, he had been defeated by the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.
However, Zhao Feng's words gave Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan some inspiration.
"Since this pond is an intelligent lifeform, it can't avoid using Soul-elemental techniques …."
A smile appeared on Ji Lan's face.
"What do you mean?"
Jiu Wuji's eyes lit up as he understood what Ji Lan was thinking.
Zhao Feng revealed a look of praise and nodded his head.
Since the pond was an intelligent lifeform, it would be hard for it to break through.
Then why not attack from the soul-dimension?
Although it was strong because it was born, it didn't mean that its soul was strong. After all, the pond itself wasn't alive, and it wasn't a human being.
Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan immediately teamed up and attacked.
"Purple Star Eyes!"
Ji Lan's purple hair blew in the wind, and her eyes were like two purple stars that released a dazzling Soul eye-bloodline power in the soul-dimension.
In that instant:
The nearby geniuses and elites all felt a terrifying aura sweep through their souls and were enveloped by illusions.
Ji Lan's Purple Star Eyes specialized in illusion soul attacks.
This attack had the effect of an illusion and could affect the soul. At the same time, it was a physical soul attack.
Weng ~ ~
Ripples immediately appeared on the surface of the Jade Pond, and then waves began to rise and fall.
It was obvious that Ji Lan's Soul eye-bloodline technique had some effect.
"Demonic Sky Hand!"
Jiu Wuji roared and used this chance to attack.
Boom ~ ~ ~ ~!
A gigantic pitch-black hand pierced through the void, drawing upon boundless black cloud flame energy and the vast power of the Demonic Dao. With an earth-shattering might, it smashed towards a certain area at the edge of the Blue Pond.
Boom ~ ~
The gigantic demonic hand collided with a layer of ripples on the surface of the pond.
Under normal situations, even if Jiu Wuji's Demonic Dao secret technique was close to an Emperor's, he wouldn't be able to break through the pond's defense.
However, at this moment:
The pond was affected by Ji Lan's Purple Star Eyes illusion and soul attack, so it couldn't even use 50% of its power.
Boom ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Jiu Wuji circulated his Demonic Dao and domain to the maximum, and the demonic hand finally pushed the ripples down a few feet.
At the same time:
The geniuses and elites of the Ji Family and Nine Darkness Palace all took action to suppress the pond.
"Star Destruction Annihilation!"
Ji Lan's face went red as she gritted her teeth and circulated her Soul Dao eye-bloodline technique to the maximum.
Finally.
With everyone's power, they managed to push the ripples down by half a yard, but it was only limited to the small area where the demonic hand was.
Two or three Green Water Sky Lotuses could be seen in that area.
As for the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus, it was in the deeper part of the pond and was hard to find.
However, even then, everyone was overjoyed.
"Attack! Take the Sky Lotuses! "
Two elders barely managed to free themselves from the two groups and used whips to obtain the Green Water Sky Lotuses.
However, the process wasn't easy.
The ripples on the surface of the suppressed pond occasionally moved up and down, pushing back the experts who had attacked.
One of the elders wasn't able to defend, and the whip in his hand was sucked away by the ripples.
The ripples on the surface of the pond were barely suppressed, but they were undulating. From time to time, whirlpools would form or sharp waves would shoot out.
Ten breaths later.
Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family teamed up and barely managed to obtain one Green Water Sky Lotus. It wasn't complete, and some petals and leaves were scattered.
"I can't hold on for much longer …."
Jiu Wuji's face was bright red, and his True Yuan was in a half-burning state. The demonic hand that had formed his Demonic Dao domain started to show signs of instability.
"I can't hold on for much longer either."
Ji Lan's eyes, which looked like purple stars, flickered as cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
"Take it!"
At the last moment, an elder from the Ji Family barely managed to pluck a few petals, and those from Nine Darkness Palace were lucky enough to grab a lotus seed.
Weng ~ ~ Boom ~ ~ ~ ~
Huge waves surged in the jade pond. The blue waves stirred up a strong storm.
Bam! Bam!
Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan, who were at the front, were sent flying.
Blood leaked out of Ji Lan's mouth, and a pair of flaming black wings formed behind Jiu Wuji's back as he barely managed to stabilize himself.
"Not bad …."
Zhao Feng's mouth curled up, as if he was enjoying a spectacular performance.
Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family teamed up and managed to obtain one and a half Green Water Sky Lotuses.
"They actually succeeded …."
Nan Gongsheng's eyes were moved, and he didn't hide his greed.
"Not good! Everyone, watch out for the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo! "
Jiu Wuji's expression changed dramatically as he thought of something in the air.
The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had started off by stealing, and they might take this chance to attack.
Perhaps the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo's style had changed recently, and they didn't steal anymore. Instead, they suggested some ideas, which was why the leaders of both sides had forgotten about them.
"Dammit!"
Ji Lan also realized this. She had been tricked by the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.
A leopard couldn't change its spots.
Now that Ji Lan and Jiu Wuji were sent flying and even injured, would the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo not try to steal it?
Nan Gongsheng unconsciously licked his lips as he felt an instinctive excitement.
"It's just one and a half Green Water Sky Lotuses."
A disdainful voice came from the purple-haired youth of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.
At the same time, a hand gently patted Nan Gongsheng's shoulder and stopped him from attacking.
"They didn't do anything?"
"When did the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo change …?"
Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan looked at each other and let out a long breath. They felt disbelief.
Next to the pond:
Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng stood there and didn't do anything.
If the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had taken the chance to attack, they wouldn't have been able to stop them in time.
From what Zhao Feng said, it seemed like he didn't care about the one and a half Green Water Sky Lotuses.
"Okay, it's our turn now."
Zhao Feng's gaze swept across the slightly tired group from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family.
Hearing that, Ji Lan and Jiu Wuji's hearts shook.
The people from both sides were bewildered as they stared fixedly at the calm purple-haired youth.
"What method will the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo use to obtain the Green Water Sky Lotuses?"
Apart from feeling bewildered, there was also an indescribable sense of anticipation.
Zhao Feng took a step forward, and his purple hair blew without any wind. Purple lightning flashed within his left eye, and a limitless world of purple appeared.
In just one step, Ji Lan's eye-bloodline started to tremble for some reason.
"Pond Yao Spirit! Hand over half of the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots, and I'll let you live. "
A dominating and emotionless voice shook the soul-dimension.
The hearts of everyone present, including Jiu Wuji and company, trembled when they heard this voice.
Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family looked at each other.
Weird expressions appeared on Jiu Wuji's and Ji Lan's faces.
It was hard to believe that Zhao Feng had used such a dominating style to "threaten" the intelligent Pond Yao Spirit to hand over the treasures.
