Sesame's eyes which was just about to turn around instantly shone, as suspicious tears welled up in his eyes. "Mistress, I knew that you still love me."
"… It's best that you leave."
"Meow ~" Sesame had already hugged her thigh with an excited look. After being kicked away, he continued to hug her back. Only when he could no longer see the three of them, did he cry out. "Mistress, how can you be so heartless, so heartless … How can you keep other beasts other than Sesame?"
"Who did I keep?"
"Eh? You didn't keep that tenth-ranked beast? "
Keep your sister! Why did he sound as though he was taking in a concubine?
"Then why did mistress bring him back?"
Zhu Yao actually had her own plans for bringing Chen Ning along. It wasn't easy to raise a sect, especially for someone like her who was overflowing with wealth, yet had no money. Although Chen Ning was a demonic beast, who asked him to be rich? Building a good relationship and pulling in some sponsors or whatnot was a pretty good choice too.
Hence, the reason for everything was: "Because I'm poor!"
Sesame: "…"
"Get up, I have something to ask you." Sesame's habit of hugging someone's thighs, when could it change?
Zhu Yao first cast a Deep Sleep Mystic Art on Yue Ying, and then cast an isolation formation in the great hall.
"Sesame, do you know of any Mystic Arts or Mystic Treasures that exist in the form of a shadow?" Even Qiwu Pavilion was unable to find any information regarding that shadow. Most probably, even if she returned to Ancient Hill Sect, she wouldn't be able to find anything. Although Sesame was a demonic beast, after all, it descended from the Higher Realm, so it knew more things.
"Shadow?" Sesame was startled. "What kind of shadow?"
"It will possess a human's body, and at first glance, it looks a little like a ghost." Zhu Yao recalled the appearance of that shadow. "However, its facial features are not as clear as a ghost's. It's like … a human's shadow, and a companion to a human's body."
Sesame sensed the cautiousness in her words, and lowered his head to ponder for a moment. "I have never heard of a shadow that can appear like this. I have never heard of such a Mystic Art either. Usually, Mystic Arts that exist for a long period of time, would always focus on concealment. If a human figure were to appear, then the Mystic Arts would be considered as inferior. "
"What if the other party can't see it?" That shadow would often lie next to Mu Meiyan's ears, and it seemed to be communicating with her. However, when someone was speaking, a human's instinctive reaction would subconsciously look towards the speaker. But Mu Meiyan didn't.
It seemed that even she couldn't see the black shadow. The others didn't seem to have any reaction, except for her.
"Could there be some kind of possession spell? Furthermore, the black shadow was extremely vigilant and could even easily detect a Soul Formation cultivator. That black shadow seems to have some kind of … power that I find very strange. "
Logically speaking, she had paid so much attention at that time. Even a late stage Soul Formation cultivator might not be able to see her, but that black shadow did. Furthermore, she was injured just by looking back at her.
"…" Sesame suddenly widened its eyes, and its face paled a little. "Unless it's someone who has already ascended …"
Zhu Yao was startled. "You're saying someone descended to the Lower Realm?"
Sesame nodded. Just as he was about to say something.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept past. Zhu Yao felt a chill on her back, and out of reflex, she immediately summoned a defensive barrier. However, he was forced back over a hundred feet by a powerful force.
Zhu Yao simply felt her chest churning. The strong smell of blood surged up, and she used all her strength to suppress it.
A burst of eerie laughter rang out in the room. It was so eerie that even the temperature dropped by several degrees.
"Who's there?"
Sesame instantly reverted to his original form, and instantly filled up half of the great hall. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the source of that sudden energy earlier.
He couldn't see it. But Zhu Yao could. At the center of the great hall. A person was standing there.
No, that couldn't be considered a person, it was just a black shadow. That black shadow was like a water ripple, swaying about. However, it was emitting out a chilling aura. Even though she was so far away, she could still feel a hint of coldness seeping into her bones.
This was definitely the black shadow that followed beside Mu Meiyan. But why did he appear here? And the moment he arrived, he immediately attacked.
Sesame was still swaying about in the great hall, attempting to find a target to attack.
That black shadow slightly raised his head. Although he couldn't see his expression, Zhu Yao could sense that he was definitely looking at her with a mocking expression.
Zhu Yao did not hesitate. She immediately summoned her own sword intent, circulated all the spiritual energy in her body, and attacked the black shadow at the center. The lightning phoenix she summoned carried the pressure of a Demigod as it flew over.
She was unable to see through this black shadow's strength, so she could only kill it with a single strike.
The entire great hall instantly collapsed, and a huge crack appeared where the phoenix passed by. It instantly pierced through that black shadow.
However, Zhu Yao was suddenly startled for a moment. She did not feel like she had hit it in the slightest. That black shadow … did not have a physical body!
What was going on?
"Hohohoho …" That strange laughter once again resounded. At the place where the black shadow disappeared earlier, a black substance was currently gathering, and it immediately returned to that black shadow.
The hell, just what in the world is this?
Before Zhu Yao could even recall her own sword intent, that black shadow lightly swayed, and appeared in front of her.
Zhu Yao had no choice but to once again raise her defensive barrier, yet, she was completely unable to block his attack. And she just had to carry Yue Ying in her embrace. She could only turn her body to protect Yue Ying in time, and was instantly struck on her back by the black shadow.
The true energy in her Dantian instantly dispersed, and could no longer be gathered.
Yue Ying woke up as well. As though he had sensed the current situation as well, his little face was filled with panic. His little hand touched Zhu Yao's pale face. "Ah … Ah ~" He still couldn't speak.
Roar ~ ~ | `o ′ | Roar ~ ~
Sesame reacted as well. Guessing the opponent's position, it immediately attacked a few feet in front of Zhu Yao. However, with a wave of the black shadow's hand, it was instantly sent flying.
The black shadow was still letting out that strange and horrifying laughter. As though it was curious, it moved closer, and sized Zhu Yao up. "As I thought, you can see me? Hohohohoho … Then, I can't let you live. "
Zhu Yao wanted to stand up again, but with her Dantian destroyed, she was completely unable to gather even the slightest bit of mystic energy. She watched as that black shadow once again raised his hand.
Zhu Yao even wanted to curse out at him. The hell. Just what kind of grudge do I have against you? Why must I be killed just because I can see you?
She could no longer suppress the sweetness in her chest, as she puked out a mouthful of blood.
Momma's egg, even if I'm online 5.0, this old lady will still spit on your face before I go offline.
Zhu Yao believed that with this attack, she would definitely not be able to live. She was not afraid of death, but she did not know if this black shadow was here to kill her, or if he was going to implicate the other people in Azureflight. If she were to implicate those eighty or so radishes because of this, her conscience would never be able to rest for the rest of her life.
Just as the black shadow was about to approach her, and was about to touch her. However, a blinding golden light suddenly emitted out from her bosom, forcing that black shadow to take a few steps back.
"What's this?" That black shadow seemed to be frightened as well.
That light however, grew even brighter, and in an instant, it covered the entire collapsed great hall. Even that black shadow was swallowed by the light as well. Zhu Yao could not help but close her eyes from the piercing light. However, at the moment she lowered her head to look. She saw the glowing object in her bosom.
It was the black scroll she took from Chen Ning's place!
Under the intense light, Zhu Yao could not help but close her eyes. After a while, she finally recovered.
Slowly, she opened her eyes.
However, she realized that they had actually changed the map, and had arrived at a foreign place.
This seemed to be a deep mountain, and in the surroundings, were towering trees that she had never seen before. They were so tall that they reached the clouds.
"Sesame!" Zhu Yao looked around for a moment, only to realize that it was currently lying at a place not far away from her. Currently adapting to the current light, she slowly stood up.
"A teleportation formation?" A cold and sinister voice resounded.
The hell, it's that black shadow again. Why is it everywhere?
"You won't be able to escape. Today, you must die!" The black shadow once again floated up. Earlier, its body, which had dissipated a little due to the golden light, slowly gathered once again. As though it was absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, its body was becoming more and more corporeal. Raising one of his hands, a faint purple light was currently gathering in his hand.
Sesame leaped up as well. Although it could not see the black shadow, it could roughly guess its direction from such an obvious killing intent. However, Zhu Yao could feel the pressure being emitted out from the purple light, causing her to be completely powerless to resist.
However, Zhu Yao could feel the pressure being emitted out from the purple light, causing her to be completely powerless to resist. Even after changing the map, she was still unable to escape the fate of being killed? If she had known, she would have sent Yue Ying out.
This was the first time Zhu Yao felt that her cultivation speed was too slow, to the point where she was completely powerless to resist.
Just as the purple light was about to hit her, suddenly, she heard a shrill howl. That howl was extremely loud, and every single howl seemed to be able to pierce through her eardrums. Zhu Yao's ears were ringing from that howl.
Out of nowhere, a snake-shaped demonic beast appeared. Opening its gigantic mouth that was filled with sharp teeth, it bit towards the black shadow. Its speed was so fast that it could not be seen.
The black shadow did not seem to have guessed that there would be a demonic beast in this place either, as it hurriedly dodged and retreated several meters away. However, a portion of its body was still shattered by that demonic beast. The purple light in the black shadow's hand was coincidentally thrown towards that snake.
Before that purple light could even land on that snake-shaped demonic beast, that demonic beast suddenly opened its mouth wide, and swallowed that extremely powerful looking ball of light.
And then … it burped.
Zhu Yao and her little companions were all dumbfounded.
Even that black shadow was stunned, as though the word 'unscientific' had already appeared on its face.
Just what the hell is this demonic beast!?
Roar ~ ~ ~ ~
That snake beast once again let out a long howl. As though it was addicted to eating that purple light, it once again began to chase after the black shadow and attack it. The black shadow could only continue to dodge, yet, his mystic arts seemed to be completely ineffective against that demonic beast. It was being chased to the point of jumping up and down.
Zhu Yao silently felt that it was time for her to retreat for a moment.
Carrying Yue Ying, she planned to flee. However, she suddenly heard another loud roar.
Another demonic beast suddenly flew over from the sky. This demonic beast was terrifyingly huge, and its wings were actually just a white skeleton. Strangely, it was still flying very stably. Most likely, it was attracted by the sounds of battle, as it charged straight towards the direction of the snake beast and the black shadow.
The earth quaked and the mountains shook, and the sky was in full swing.
Zhu Yao and the other two were the fish in the pond that were affected. They could only dodge the gigantic trees and flying rocks that were knocked down by them in all directions. (To be continued)
