"What happened?" Xuan Xu noticed them, glanced at Zhu Yao, and frowned.
"N-nothing?" Yi Ling hurriedly shook her head, however, she looked at Zhu Yao meaningfully. "I … I didn't see anything. Please don't misunderstand Senior Sister Zhu. " It would have been better if she did not say these words. The moment she said it, it was equivalent to indirectly confirming what Zhu Yao had done. The gazes of the crowd of disciples were instantly filled with suspicion.
"Ling 'er, don't be afraid. Your master is here." Xuan Xu released the pressure of his own Nascent Soul, as he glared at Zhu Yao with a blade-like gaze. "In this world, there is still no one who has the ability to threaten my disciple."
"Master …" Yi Ling's face was touched, yet, her expression grew even more hesitant. A moment later, she gritted her teeth, and said with a stubborn look. "No, it's really nothing. Senior Sister Zhu treats me so well, I can't … I really didn't see anything. "
Looking at these two master and disciple who had already entered the stage of a two-man show, Zhu Yao simply wanted to roar out. Are you two blind? I haven't even said a single word yet!
Xuan Xu's brows furrowed even deeper, his body already faintly emitting killing intent, "Just what did you do to Ling 'er?"
"I want to know as well." Zhu Yao nodded in agreement, before turning to look at Yi Ling. "Yi Ling, just what did you do to you?"
Yi Ling was stunned. Her tears were like pearls from a broken necklace, pouring out. Her sorrowful and weak appearance caused everyone present to feel sorry for her. She seemed to be frightened as she shrank into Xuan Xu's embrace and said with a choked voice, "I … I really didn't see anything."
With such a frail look, it was as though Zhu Yao had really done something to her. The hell, I'm just asking a question, the hell are you crying for?
"Don't go too far." The flower protector, Qi Ping, was the first to rush out. With a face filled with rage, he glared at Zhu Yao. "You're the one who did something wrong, yet you're actually threatening junior-martial sister Ling!?"
"What did I do?" These people's brains must be filled with tofu.
"I don't care what you've done." Qi Ping was even more enraged. He looked as if he wanted to rush out and chop her with a knife. "Ling 'er is so good to you? It's bad enough that you've been targeting her, but now you're even threatening her in front of everyone. Don't think that just because you've formed your Gold Core, we can't do anything to you. "
Zhu Yao laughed out of extreme anger. "I really want to know, just what did I do? Why don't you tell me and make me feel guilty? "
"You …"
"Senior-apprentice Brother Qi …" Yi Ling rushed out and tugged at Qi Ping, adding fuel to the fire. "Don't blame Senior-apprentice Sister Zhu, I … it's my fault."
"Ling 'er, you don't have to worry." Xuan Xu once again protected Yi Ling in his embrace. His expression sank, as he coldly looked at Zhu Yao. "Your master has already made a decision on this matter." After saying that, the pressure from his body no longer held back, as it pressed straight towards Zhu Yao.
Damn it, these two master and disciple are trying to silence me.
Zhu Yao's heart sank. It seemed like in front of Mary Sue, logic would not work. At the very most, she could just escape back to the demonic beasts' side. It would be better than staying together with this bunch of animals with their lower half of their IQs.
"Mother!" Just as she was about to defend, Yue Ying walked over from the side. As if he didn't notice the atmosphere around him, he tugged at her sleeve. "You came back safely?"
"Mn." Zhu Yao habitually nodded.
"Junior-apprentice brother Yue!" Yi Ling however looked at Yue Ying with a worried look, and kindly reminded him. "Hurry and leave that place. Senior-apprentice Sister Zhu, she … she …" She paused halfway through her words, her face was filled with pain and disappointment. Though she did not say anything, it felt as though she had already said everything.
Almost all of the disciples had confirmed that Zhu Yao must have done something huge that would betray the sect.
However, as though Yue Ying did not hear anything, he continued to look at Zhu Yao. "It's good that you're fine. Earlier, mother risked her life to charge through the barrier. Yue Ying was really shocked? "
"…" Zhu Yao turned to look at him, only to see Yue Ying smiling at her with an even gentler smile. His appearance was growing more and more similar to Shao Bai in the first place, and this smile of his was even more radiant. In an instant, the slightly dark battlefield seemed to have brightened up a little.
"I knew mother would be fine." He slowly said. "That bolt of heavenly lightning that flashed in the sky earlier, mother was the one who summoned it, right?"
Zhu Yao's eyes shone, as she instantly understood what this brat meant. She cooperatively nodded. "That's right! The Sovereign in that labyrinth said that demonic beasts would never appear in groups. If a beast wave were to occur, there would definitely be a reason behind it. " She intentionally raised her voice, glanced at the crowd, and said with a half-truth, half-lie tone. "That's why I found an opportunity to pass through the barrier, and as expected, I discovered a tenth-ranked demonic beast commander over there. Fortunately, the Sovereign bestowed me with that Purple Extreme Heavenly Lightning Talisman, which allowed me to escape unscathed. "
When her words fell, the entire place went into an uproar.
"Purple Extreme Heavenly Lightning! It's actually the Purple Extreme Heavenly Lightning! "
"Isn't that the tribulation lightning for ascension?"
"There's actually such a talisman in this world."
"This should be considered a talisman treasure, right!?"
"No wonder there was such a huge spiritual energy fluctuation in the sky earlier, and the demonic beasts retreated the moment the thunder rumbled."
Everyone's faces were filled with excitement, and even Xuan Xu's expression was a little moved. Yi Ling, who was in his embrace, however, had a completely darkened expression. Initially, when she saw Zhu Yao returning from outside the barrier, her first reaction was naturally that Zhu Yao had colluded with demonic beasts and betrayed the sect. However, she never expected that the situation would suddenly turn around. Everyone's disdain towards her in the beginning, instantly turned into worship. Uneasiness instantly rose in the depths of her heart, and she subconsciously pulled Xuan Xu who was next to her.
Only then did Xuan Xu, who was shocked by the Purple Extreme Heavenly Lightning, regain his senses. A little suspicion once again rose in the depths of his heart. "You're saying, you attracted the tribulation lightning, which scared the beast wave away? How could there be a talisman for the Purple Extreme Heavenly Lightning in this world? "
"How would I know?" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes at him. "Ask that Sovereign!"
"…" Xuan Xu's expression instantly darkened. Evidently, he recalled the matter where he couldn't even enter her sword formation.
"Oh right, junior-martial niece Ling 'er, what did you see earlier?" Zhu Yao looked at Mary Sue with a smile.
Yi Ling's expression paled, a hint of panic flashed past her eyes. A moment later, she awkwardly said. "Ling 'er's eyes must have gone bad? I thought … "
"Thought what?" Zhu Yao chuckled, as though she wanted to get to the bottom of things.
Naturally, Yi Ling couldn't say that she thought she was a traitor, hence, she once again put on that pitiful look. "Senior-martial sister Zhu …"
"Don't cry anymore …" Zhu Yao coldly laughed. "I didn't say anything earlier, but the moment you cry, I'm being accused of doing something shameful? If you continue to cry, someone might even blame me for destroying the world. "
At the side, Qi Ping's expression instantly stiffened, and in an instant, his face alternated between green and white. Yi Ling's expression however grew even more aggrieved, and her tears were about to fall.
Evidently, the crowd had recalled her baseless accusation earlier as well. Her harem were still alright, after all, they didn't have any intelligence anyway. However, when the other disciples looked at her, their eyes carried a hint of strangeness.
Yi Ling clenched her fists, and a moment later, she lowered her head and said. "I'm sorry, senior-martial sister Zhu, I …"
"I'm not your senior-martial sister!" Zhu Yao immediately interrupted his words, instantly attracting the glares of all the men in her harem. Zhu Yao couldn't be bothered with these retards, and immediately pointed out the truth. "You should be calling me senior-martial aunt." She had formed her Azoth Core for so long, yet Yi Ling still kept calling her senior-martial sister. It wasn't like she was the male lead, so who would want to be on the same level as her?
She then turned to look at Xuan Xu who was coldly looking at her, and said with a heavy tone. "Sovereign, this is where you're wrong. There's a huge problem with your way of teaching! You're already so old, yet you can't even differentiate your seniority. It's best that you stop thinking about romance, and teach your disciples more. As the saying goes, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor as a disciple, and no matter how bitter you are, you can't be bitter in educating! "
She said it with such sincerity and sincerity that even she herself was moved, you know?
Xuan Xu and Yi Ling's expressions however darkened at the same time.
Zhu Yao had successfully turned the tables, and her mood instantly became better. She silently gave her obedient son Yue Ying next to her a thumbs up. Though everything she said was true, in that situation earlier, if not for Yue Ying's reminder, she really wouldn't know how to cover it up. Especially when that God's Artifact on her would definitely be exposed.
The beast wave this time ended just like that. Because everyone was fearful of Lord Labyrinth Palace, no one doubted the veracity of Zhu Yao's words. Just as the disciples were about to count the number of casualties and return home, an unforeseen event suddenly occurred.
The transparent barrier that separated the two continents suddenly emitted out a faint red light. As though it was covered with a layer of red plastic film, it covered the entire continent. That red light flashed for a moment, yet, it faintly showed signs of shattering. Like a net, cracks began to appear on its surface.
"Not good! The world barrier is about to disappear. "An Azoth Elder exclaimed.
Panic and fear surfaced on the faces of all the disciples.
"Once the barrier shatters, most likely, the demonic beasts will no longer have any reservations, and will definitely wreak havoc everywhere. When that time comes, I'm afraid we will no longer have the strength to retaliate. "Everyone present was anxious.
Zhu Yao clenched her fists. She was not worried about the demonic beasts. Though demonic beasts were fierce, they would not initiate conflicts with humans. What she was truly worried about was that Devil!
There were Devils in that continent, and she was not even sure just how many of them there were. However, seeing how he was controlling the beast wave, she knew that he was definitely thinking of coming over here as well. If the Devil were to come over, then they would truly not have the strength to retaliate at all!
"Is there no way to repair the barrier?" Zhu Yao asked.
Xuan Xu coldly snorted. "This barrier has existed since the Ancient Era, and it has long been lost. Who in this world would know of a way to repair it?"
Ancient Era? Why was it that when she heard the word 'Ancient Era', she felt a thick sense of humour?
"No matter what, we can't just sit here and wait for death. Where's the formation core of this formation? "Only by seeing the formation core would one know if it could be repaired or not?
"…" Everyone sank into silence.
It can't be? This barrier had existed for so many years, yet no one knew where the formation core was? Did these people deserve it? Or did they deserve it? Or did they deserve it?
"Let's find the formation core first." Zhu Yao could not be bothered to waste her breath with them. Bringing along Yue Ying, she flew on her sword and began to search the surroundings.
The other disciples looked at each other for a moment, and then, they began to search for the formation core one after another.
Zhu Yao circled the entire forest three times, yet, she was completely unable to find even the shadow of the formation core. Logically speaking, the formation core should be the place with the strongest spiritual energy ripples, but no matter how she released her divine sense, she could not sense it in the slightest. She was already a little anxious. Could it be that this barrier was truly hopeless?
"Mistress …" Sesame suddenly spoke in her divine sense. "I feel like there seems to be something in front of us …"
"In front of us?" Zhu Yao was startled for a moment. They were already out of the forest in front of them. Logically speaking, the formation core shouldn't be too far away from the barrier. "Can you sense what it is exactly?"
"I don't know." Sesame's voice carried a hint of confusion. "I keep feeling like there's something calling me over there."
What could it be? Zhu Yao pondered for a moment, and then flew in the direction Sesame said.
"Big Sis Yao …" Yue Ying suddenly tugged onto her sleeves.
Zhu Yao turned to look, only to see his head was suddenly filled with sweat, and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. "Yue Ying, what's wrong?" She checked on his meridians, and realized that there were no abnormalities with his body, just that there were only strands of spiritual energy left in his body. Only then did she recall that Yue Ying had just built his Foundation. After a great battle, how could he possibly have much spiritual energy left in his body?
She then descended, carried him to the side to sit, and then channeled some spiritual energy into him.
"Rest for a moment first, don't follow me!" Zhu Yao stroked his head. "I'm going to take a look at the front. I'll come back to fetch you in a moment."
"Mn." He obediently nodded. "Big Sis Yao, you have to hurry back."
"Alright!" Zhu Yao once again flew on her flying sword. The more she headed towards the place Sesame mentioned, the more she had a premonition that that place was definitely the crux of this formation. Until they arrived at a practitioner's town.
This was the town closest to the barrier. Because of the beast wave, the people inside had already been dismissed, and not a single soul could be seen in this town.
"Mistress, it's at the very center." Sesame suddenly called out excitedly.
At the center of the town was a plaza. Stones with various patterns were laid out in the middle, forming a simple circular diagram. Various messy symbols were even drawn on it. From the looks of it, it was just an ordinary flat ground. However, currently, a blue-robed man was sitting on that flat ground, and the diagram on the stone was currently emitting out a white formation glow.
This was the formation core!
Zhu Yao and her little companion were dumbfounded.
It was no wonder no one could find the formation core of the barrier after so many years? Who would have known that such an important thing would be placed so openly at the very center of a practitioner's town, where everyone could see it?
As for that man …
Zhu Yao took a closer look. That man was sitting on the formation core, as though he had already entered a meditative state. The formation on the ground was currently emitting out a fragmented white glow. Probably because it had existed for too long, the diagram on the formation was not complete. However, the mysterious thing was, within that white glow, the fragmented portion was slowly recovering.
He was repairing the formation!
Although she did not know who this person was, she did not plan on disturbing him.
Not even a moment later, the formation became more and more complete, and the white glow grew brighter as well. Slowly rising, like a 3D projection, it gathered into a strange shape above the man. That shape could not be seen clearly, but it looked like a gigantic demonic beast, and it faintly had four hooves.
Zhu Yao instantly heaved a sigh of relief. This was the final step of the formation. As long as the manifestation was completed, the formation would …
There was a loud rumble.
Just as the manifestation was about to be completed, a fireball suddenly descended from the sky, and directly smashed onto the manifestation, instantly dispersing all of the white glow.
The hell!
"There's actually a demonic beast shield that escaped into the market." Yi Ling appeared above with a righteous look. Casting an art with her fingers, she once again summoned out a fireball. "Die, demonic beast."
"Stop!" Zhu Yao condensed a stream of water and struck towards the fireball, extinguishing her art.
Lowering her head to take a look, the man had already puked out a large mouthful of blood due to the formation's backlash, and fell onto the ground. At that moment, she felt like pinching that Mary Sue to death.
"Senior-martial sister Zhu, how could you …" Yi Ling landed, and her face was filled with criticism. She was actually protecting the demonic beast.
"Are you blind!? Can't you read more books when you're free? That was the manifestation of the formation earlier! "This time, it was really over. This person was half-crippled, who was going to repair the formation? As expected, this Mary Sue was a bug!
Yi Ling was startled, and only then did she realize there was someone on the ground. "He … How could this be?"
Zhu Yao immediately flew over. "Hey, hey, hey. Are you alright?" Worriedly, she held up the person on the ground and took a look.
Stunned!
The hell … It can't be, right?
The man panted as he slightly opened his eyes. Looking towards Yi Ling's direction, his eyes suddenly shone. As he puked out blood, he muttered to himself. "There's actually such an otherworldly existence in this world …"
Smack!
Zhu Yao raised her hand and smacked the side of his neck, instantly knocking him unconscious.
