On the brink of the apocalypse, Zuo Ling is brought back to her distant relatives' Ding family and safely survives countless disasters through the chaos.
However, on the verge of death, s...
Zuo Ling found five pale yellow, round objects on the corpse that resembled neither stone nor iron. They were engraved with strange and unusual patterns. After fiddling with them for a long time, she still couldn't figure out how to use them.
If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it and casually toss the stone into your spatial storage.
The body... I initially intended to burn it, but after thinking about it, I casually put it away.
The Zhao family... feed the Indian underlings.
Having avenged her past life, Zuo Ling still felt unsatisfied. Ding Jiaojiao's maternal family had come knocking on her door, so she had to collect some interest as well.
Don't blame her for being ruthless; they've been mortal enemies for a long time. If she falls into the hands of the Zhao family, they won't treat her with any righteousness or morality.
The following day, Zuo Ling and Pei Nansheng went into the water early, and after entering the space, they transferred to a two-person shuttle to travel forward.
When they encountered narrow waterways that they couldn't pass through, they would dive across, greatly shortening their journey.
After exploring all the waterways of the underground river, the two found no exit.
Just when they were at their wits' end, a pale golden beam of light appeared out of thin air.
In a mountain valley in Guizhou Province, there were more than a dozen people, young and old.
Deep in the mountain valley, there is a pool of water. Beside the pool stand 10 black and white stone pillars, one in the center and the other nine guarding the center.
The central stone pillar is several times larger than the outer stone pillars, and each stone pillar is carved with obscure patterns.
On the stone pillar, an old man with dark skin and a face full of wrinkles sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He held a black and white disc in his hand and muttered incantations.
A tall, middle-aged man with a cold and sinister look and an aura of menace frequently looked up at the sky. The sun was blazing, making people restless and irritable.
I took out my pocket watch and glanced at it. I've been fiddling with it for over two hours, and I still don't know if it will work.
He is Zhao Shan, the current head of the Zhao family, and Zhao Min's older brother.
Two years ago, the old patriarch passed away, and Zhao Shan hastily took over the position of patriarch.
Among the Zhao family members, Zhao Shan was not particularly outstanding in ability. Many people in the clan were not convinced by Zhao Shan. If it weren't for his connection with the reclusive elder of the Ding family, Zhao Shan would have been ousted from his position as head of the family.
Half a month ago, a reclusive elder sent a message asking him to help capture Pei Nansheng and his sister.
In response, the reclusive elder promised that if the person was captured, he would awaken supernatural abilities for 20 members of the Zhao family.
The Zhao family has suffered too many casualties due to the series of natural disasters. Without the support of a superhuman, it will be difficult for him to maintain his position as the head of the family. He must bring the person back.
At that time, he would have a loyal force that would be absolutely obedient to him. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhao Shan's lips.
Yesterday, the messenger sent by the reclusive elder, the old man sitting on the pillar, used extraordinary means to send the Zhao family's elite disciples to the location of Pei Nansheng and his sister.
If all goes well, we should be able to bring him back today.
The Zhao family members went with an upgraded version of the Binding God Array. They didn't need to get close to Pei Nansheng and his sister. They only needed to bury the Five Elements Binding God Array Stones they carried with them near Pei Nansheng and his sister, and then activate the array with the essence and blood of the disciples who possessed the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
At that point, Pei Nansheng and his sister would have no choice but to surrender.
A buzzing sound arose, and the 10 stone pillars slowly rotated, the light and shadow grew stronger and stronger, and Zhao Shan's eyes were filled with a white haze.
It can be vaguely seen that each of the nine outer stone pillars has nine holes, and the beams of light from the holes converge on the middle stone pillar, which also has nine holes.
About ten minutes later, the light shone brightly, and the nine beams of light merged into one, shining directly onto the water's surface.
The old man on the stone pillar had even deeper wrinkles, as if he had aged 10 years in an instant. He slowly opened his eyes, let out a long sigh of relief, and finally succeeded.
Zhao Shan's face lit up with joy, and he asked respectfully, "Your Excellency, has it been successful?"
The old man said wearily:
"This formation can only last for one day. If I cannot bring the person back on time, I will not be able to use it a second time within six months."
Zhao Shan: "..."
The old man's extraordinary abilities in opening a teleportation channel were already unheard of and unseen; how could we dare to ask for more?
"You've worked hard, sir."
He instructed the Zhao family members, "Quickly, quickly, quickly, help the envoy down to rest."
The old man waved his hand:
"No need, I'll just need to adjust my breathing. If something goes wrong over there, neither of us will be in a good position. Patriarch Zhao, you should think about what to do if he doesn't return on time."
Zhao Shan's heart sank, and his expression changed.
Logically speaking, the Five Elements Binding God Formation should be extremely well concealed and shouldn't go wrong, but there's always a chance of something going wrong!
What troubled Zhao Shan was that the Zhao family had no disciples with the ability of metal, so he had no choice but to send a disciple with the ability of wind instead.
The envoy said that the effect would be somewhat reduced, but it wouldn't be a big problem.
The battles between superpowered individuals are always fought over the smallest details. As long as they can be restrained for a time, Pei Nansheng and his sister will surely be defeated.
Time passed second by second, but no one came out from inside the beam of light, and sweat beaded on Zhao Shan's forehead.
With a soft thud, a clump of minced meat flew out from the beam of light.
Everyone, including the old man who was meditating with his eyes closed, looked at the mass of minced meat.
Zhao Shan leaned closer to examine it closely; the minced meat was so finely ground that it was impossible to tell what kind of meat it was.
I put a little on my fingertip, brought it to my nose, and smelled it; it had a fishy smell.
An unlucky fish happened to pass by the teleportation array and lost its life.
The old man's face twitched. "Hmph, is it so easy to enter a teleportation array? An ordinary person's body, without being tempered by the energy of crystals, cannot withstand the pressure of the teleportation array, let alone a fish!"
He exhaled slowly, then closed his eyes to regulate his breathing. Opening the teleportation channel had been too taxing; he was exhausted.
Zuo Ling turned to Pei Nansheng and asked:
"Did you see where that fish went?"
She found the pillar of light strange, so she grabbed a fish and threw it in.
Pei Nansheng shook his head: "No, it seems to have disappeared in an instant."
