"Grandma, can you tell what these evil cultivators are trying to do?" The little tyrant frowned, and casually asked. "I keep getting the feeling that their goal isn't as simple as Skybond Peak."
Ye Qingcang nodded and said, "Furthermore, these people seem to be very familiar with the array formation barrier. They appeared in the sect without any warning."
"Barrier!" Zhu Yao simply felt a flash of inspiration in her mind, and she instantly recalled the matter which she could not figure out earlier. Immediately after, her heart twitched, and she gritted her teeth as she cursed. "The hell!"
He turned around and quickly rode his sword in a certain direction.
"Grandma …"
"Granny …"
Before the two of them could react, they had already lost sight of each other. Glancing at each other, the two of them chased after him on their swords.
Zhu Yao flew extremely quickly, and the depths of her heart was in a fluster. She really wished that she could teleport. She finally remembered where the spiritual Qi was. It was the Tranquil Valley! The gathering place of the Gremlins where she appeared. Although the spiritual energy in the valley was sparse, the barrier outside the valley was condensed from spiritual energy. Of course, with just a touch, the spiritual energy that drilled into her body directly allowed her to build her foundation. From this, one could see how dense the Spiritual Qi was.
Most likely, all the Spiritual Qi in the entire Tranquil Valley was used on that layer of barrier to protect the monsters inside.
According to her master, such a large-scale teleportation formation wouldn't be able to send them far, and Tranquil Valley was the closest to Ness Cesary Sect. The more Zhu Yao thought about it, the more flustered she became. If those heretic practitioners had really teleported Skybond Peak there, then those demons in the valley …
She did not think that the heretic cultivators would be so kind as to spare the natives there.
Zhu Yao flew very quickly, and in the span of a few breaths, she had already arrived at Tranquil Valley. However, from afar, she could see a gigantic mountain appearing in the sky, and it was currently slowly sinking into Tranquil Valley.
Her heart skipped a beat. He was so angry that he wanted to curse. His anger flared up. These evil cultivators were too f * cking f * cked up. He had originally thought that they had only moved Skybond Peak here. From the looks of it now, they actually wanted to sink Skybond Peak directly into Tranquil Valley, and wanted to use the advantage of the barrier within the valley to conceal the thing inside!
If Skybond Peak were to fall, it would be strange if those spiritual monsters inside were not squashed into meat patties.
Zhu Yao's heart clenched. As he formed hand seals, he charged into the barrier. More than a dozen lightning bolts shot towards the few Nascent Soul cultivators. The formation between them dissipated in an instant, scattering in all directions. Without the support of the formation, Skybond Peak fell even faster.
Zhu Yao did not even have the time to curse, as she immediately flew to the bottom of the mountain. He transformed into the Thousand Golden Summit and did his best to support the entire mountain before he managed to slow down his descent.
"Grandma …" Little tyrant and Ye Qingcang rushed over as well, and they looked at Zhu Yao whose face was flushed red with shock.
"Go down. Disperse the spiritual monsters and have them hide at the borders. "Zhu Yao gritted her teeth and persisted.
"But you …"
"Go! He could say that it was Tai Qian's order. They will go with you. "It was a moment of life and death. She could only ask for more.
Ye Qingcang and little tyrant exchanged glances. Gritting their teeth, they still listened to her and turned around to evacuate the aborigines.
Zhu Yao took a deep breath, and began to circulate spiritual energy around Skybond Peak. Just as he was about to use his spiritual energy to move Skybond Peak out of Tranquil Valley, he saw that the few Nascent Souls had returned. However, he did not immediately launch an attack, and simply remained expressionless. He coldly looked at his side.
"Just who are you people? What are your intentions? "Zhu Yao asked with a sunken voice.
However, the other party did not react in the slightest!
A moment later, a person suddenly flew towards her, and the spiritual energy around him began to vibrate intensely.
The hell! Another self-destruction.
These people must have joined some sort of evil cult, right? Why do they like to self-destruct so much?
It would be weird if they allowed you to self-destruct here!
"Little Eighth!" Zhu Yao loudly shouted.
A ray of red light instantly charged into the sky, and the cry of a phoenix resounded through the clouds. Boundless flames charged straight towards the horizon. In an instant, a purple sea of flames was formed in the sky, and anything that came into contact with the flames was instantly turned into ashes. Even the self-destructing heretic practitioner who rushed over had disappeared within the flames as well.
The entire Skybond Peak was surrounded by purple flames. A gigantic purple fire phoenix occupied the sky before them, dancing and circling. Every time it flapped its wings, a large sea of flames would be formed. The incomparably gigantic Skybond Peak earlier, was like an ice cream placed in a stove. It began to slowly melt, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, it shrunk. A moment later, Skybond Peak had shrunk to a fifth of its original size.
"You can do it. Well done, Little Eighth!" Zhu Yao silently gave her little brother a thumbs up.
When her words fell, the phoenix in the sky, as though it had suddenly extinguished, shrunk to the size of a pigeon, and fell down. All of the flames instantly disappeared as well.
The hell, do you have to be so easily praised!?
Zhu Yao caught it. "Little Eighth!" How can you cut off the electricity at such a crucial moment?
"I'm so tired!" Little Eighth climbed onto her shoulder, and laid there unmoving like a dead bird. "I'm so tired, I want to sleep! Seventh elder sister, you're abusing a young phoenix. "
"…" The hell, you clearly didn't even finish your work, and you have the cheek to say that I'm abusing you!?
Zhu Yao had no choice but to summon a Nine Heavenly Lightning Art. A lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket descended from the sky, directly striking the Skybond Peak which had long been burnt beyond recognition. The entire mountain instantly turned into millions of tiny shattered rocks, exploding in all directions. She then immediately cast a wind-type mystic art, blowing all of the shattered rocks that had fallen into Tranquil Valley out of the barrier.
"Yu Yao!" Her master's voice once again rang.
In the next moment, the sound of something piercing through the air resounded beside her. Zhu Yao's figure flashed. Several icicles brushed past her, and in the next moment, a woman controlling a crescent moon came attacking.
Zhu Yao immediately summoned her spiritual sword, and with a raise of her hand, the crescent moon was instantly split into two.
The expression of the female heretic practitioner however did not change in the slightest, as she once again summoned her spiritual sword and attacked her. The remaining Nascent Soul heretic practitioners surrounded her at the same time as well. A large majority of them had materialized spiritual swords or icicles. They were densely packed together.
Zhu Yao placed down a defensive barrier, blocking the attacks that filled the sky. Though these attacks were concentrated, she was not afraid of them. However, it was a little troublesome to deal with them. Adding that she had to prevent the attacks from falling into Tranquil Valley, it was inevitable that her hands and feet would be tied.
Just when she was busy dealing with them, the spiritual energy around the female practitioner who was the closest to her suddenly began to go berserk. The hell.
Just how stubborn were they towards self-destruction? They would explode whenever they had the chance!
Zhu Yao grew anxious. She materialized lightning as a whip and attached it onto her spiritual sword. With a forceful fling, it directly struck onto the female practitioner's Dantian, preventing her from gathering spiritual energy. With this strike, her spiritual energy instantly dispersed, and as expected, her self-destruction stopped. She was heavily injured as well, and began to puke out blood. However, she merely paused for a moment, before continuing to use other mystic arts to attack. Her expression did not even change in the slightest.
This isn't right! Something is very wrong. The more she fought, the stronger the strange feeling in the depths of her heart became. These people … were very problematic. Their fighting style was basically as though they did not care about their lives. However, their expressions were strangely calm, as though they were not afraid of pain.
Were they villains? Weren't villains supposed to be chatterboxes? Were they supposed to say a series of lines before every fight, to threaten or show off? With their reactions, they were evidently looking down on the cold script!
It was as though … they were puppets that only knew how to attack.
Zhu Yao's whip shattered the Dantian of another heretic practitioner who was preparing to self-destruct, and the doubts in the depths of her heart grew heavier. Just what in the world were these heretic practitioners?
Those few heretic practitioners suddenly scattered in all directions. Zhu Yao thought that they were going to escape, but they actually stopped not too far away, and their distance just happened to be outside of the attack range of the lightning in her hands.
In the next moment, the eight of them began to detonate their own Nascent Souls at the same time.
Zhu Yao's heart skipped a beat! The hell! Did they have to be so stubborn about courting death!?
Eight of them self-destructing at the same time, that was basically equivalent to an atomic bomb, hey!
And with this, she basically could not stop all of them in time. As long as one of them successfully self-destructed, Tranquil Valley below would be finished.
She definitely could not allow them to self-destruct. However, even if she activated a barrier like before, it was impossible to protect the entire Tranquil Valley within it.
What should she do? What should she do?
Realmspirit, hurry and come out to help! This world is going to be destroyed by nuclear weapons.
The red glow on the eight of them grew even brighter, and it looked as though they were about to explode.
Suddenly!
"Pea …" A green light flashed in her embrace, and a gigantic pea appeared in the air. With an 'ah' sound, it opened its mouth wide. The eight people who were still self-destructing earlier, instantly turned into eight rays of red light, and entered Pea's mouth.
"Awooo!" Pea closed its mouth, turned back into the size of a basketball, and flew back into her hands.
Zhu Yao: … What happened earlier?
"Pea, why are you eating strange things again?" Zhu Yao could not help but want to pry open its mouth. "Putting aside the demonic beasts from the last time, it's a human this time! Even if you're hungry, you can't just eat whatever you want, hey. It's fine if you're stuffed to the point of bursting. But what about master who's squeezed inside?! "
"Pea …" The pea rolled about, and suddenly opened its mouth. "Burp ~" It let out a loud burp.
A puff of white smoke floated out from its mouth. Zhu Yao's entire body trembled for a moment.
Was it a misconception? Why did she feel that the puff of smoke was humanoid? It had a head, a face, and a body, and the word "soul" seemed to be written on its clothes.
"Pea …" Zhu Yao was instantly driven mad. It wasn't teleportation! Lil Pea really ate the man! And it could even spit out their souls! "Don't develop into zombies! This is a cultivation novel, not the future, hey!!"
"Yu Yao …" Her master's voice suddenly sounded from within Pea. "Those few heretic practitioners aren't humans."
"Eh?" What did he mean?
"Their bodies are filled with the aura of death. They had died a long time ago, and their souls were merely forcefully trapped within their bodies. They were turned into puppets. "
"Puppets?" Zhu Yao was startled. "But they can use mystic arts, and they can even use mystic arts freely." If they were just puppets, it was impossible for them to retain the cultivation they had when they were alive.
Yu Yan was silent for a moment. "Naturally, they have to pay a price for using mystic arts. I've mentioned it before, the formation they used, requires a special spiritual energy in order to teleport."
"Special spiritual energy …" Zhu Yao suddenly widened her eyes.
"They're using souls sealed within their bodies!"
