Chapter 330 Immense Power, Who Exactly Is He?
Karin was completely struck dumb; that look in his eyes...
Why would you look at her with such a desperate expression?
Despite being complete strangers, at that moment, Karin's heart was gripped tightly.
It wasn't until the ripples disappeared that he seemed to suddenly remember to breathe.
Did he just say "yes"?
What did he... what did he mistake this card for?
After the other party jumped into the lake, Ao Bai paused for a few moments before he started to bristle: "Host, he is not a cultivator, but a demon!"
Demon race?
...
After an incense stick had burned, five figures returned to the eaves of the teahouse one after another.
The atmosphere was noticeably tense, and everyone looked rather grim, clearly indicating that their respective investigations had encountered unexpected situations.
Wen Tingyun spoke first, his usual gentle smile fading slightly: "I met a young man in the Cloud Sea Forbidden Area of the Misty Sect."
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes. "He stood amidst the sea of clouds, his Daoist aura withered, silently gazing at the endless surging waves. I... tried to resonate with him, but he didn't react at all."
Li Yuan's voice was equally subdued, "The star fell to the top of the tower, leaving behind a lingering regret. That person guarded the dim star core at the top of the tower, silent as a reef."
“The same goes for the core of the Qingyun Sect.” Fu Yan frowned. “He was completely unaware of my presence and was just drawing talismans non-stop.”
"The design of that talisman was extremely strange, almost like a heaven-defying technique..."
"It seems the situation is similar in several places." Mu Feng covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed lightly. "On the Looking-at-Immortal Platform of the Purple Cloud Immortal Palace, there is a senior in the Immortal Palace's ceremonial robes, who seems to be listening to the severed immortal sounds... He also did not speak to me."
Finally, everyone's eyes turned to Huali.
Hua Li sighed, hugged Ao Bai tightly, and recounted what she had seen and heard by the stone bridge in the south of the city, "...I said a lot, but he ignored me."
"But when I took out the card, his reaction was strange. It was like resistance, or something else."
The group of people seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.
Mu Feng thought for a moment: "It seems that the people in all five areas are in similar condition. But only the white-robed youth on Hua Li's side has reacted. Perhaps we can try to use him as a breakthrough point."
Huali took out a wooden card.
“I do have a method. Since he reacts to the cards, I might try to use the cards actively when I encounter him, try to resonate with him, and then try to sense the emotions left in his lingering resentment.”
"No/It won't work/It's too dangerous."
As soon as he finished speaking, several dissenting voices rang out simultaneously.
Li Yuan was the first to refuse. His voice was urgent and low, and his aura became restless: "The power of the collapse of remnant will is unknown. It would be too dangerous for you to act rashly."
Fu Yan rarely agreed with Li Yuan, saying, "This is not the best solution; we need to consider it carefully."
Wen Tingyun's tone also carried a hint of genuine consideration: "Although this method is a possible path, there are many variables."
"It's alright, I can manage." After they finished speaking, Huali offered her opinion, "There are too many uncertainties in this Starfall Ruins. Staying for another day means another day of danger."
"I say this because I am confident."
She certainly wouldn't fight a battle unprepared.
First, she has Ao Bai and Zhao Zhao Xiao Ta on her side, three people she can completely trust.
Second, she has many life-saving treasures. Before she came in, everyone took turns stuffing her with a lot of treasures.
Of course, there's also the most important point.
I don't know why, maybe it was influenced by Ao Bai, but she really cared a lot about the young man on the bridge.
I don't want to waste a single moment.
And so, the five of them arrived at the stone bridge in the south of the city once again.
The cherry blossoms continued to fall like snow, and the young man in white was still sitting quietly by the bridge, gazing up at the void.
The previous collapse vanished as if it had never happened, and everything returned to square one.
"You all stay here for now."
Huali hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and took a few steps forward. She could feel four pairs of eyes staring intently at her from behind.
For some reason, despite the young man's previous outburst of anger and despair, Karin still couldn't detect any murderous intent in his aura.
She took out her wooden card and activated a "beauty filter" on herself, spreading a healing and gentle aura around her. At the same time, her gentle power, like tender buds sprouting in early spring, softly brushed towards the young man in white.
Try to resonate with others, rather than provoke them.
However, just as the vibrant wood-elemental spiritual energy was about to touch the youth, a sudden change occurred!
The young man, who had been as exquisite as a sculpture, trembled and suddenly turned his head. His empty eyes were instantly filled with immense pain and incredulous anger.
The crimson at the corner of her eyes became alluring and dazzling.
"It's...this kind of power again?"
"It's you... but it's not you!"
Huali stopped in her tracks. "You've seen the cards before?" she tried to explain. "I meant you no harm, I just wanted to..."
"Host, be careful!!"
With Ao Bai's exclamation, the once deathly still aura of the youth under the cherry blossom tree suddenly surged, and a terrifying spiritual power so immense it made one's heart tremble erupt!
"Huali!!" The four people behind him attacked simultaneously.
But the young man did not rush towards Huali; instead, he was swept up by the power that originated from despair ten thousand years ago, turning into a white torrent.
"Watch out!" Li Yuan flashed in front of Hua Li, a fierce glint in his eyes. A dark and deep protective barrier instantly spread out, attempting to block the impact of the torrent.
boom--
Two forces clashed violently!
What's truly horrifying is that Li Yuan's power, capable of tearing apart illusions, was easily ripped apart like paper the moment they touched.
This power contains not only immense spiritual energy, but also a sorrow and despair that seems capable of eroding everything.
Li Yuan groaned, staggered a few steps from the impact, and even a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his lips.
Just as he was shocked, the light transformed from the white-robed youth broke through Li Yuan's obstruction and rushed towards Hua Li.
The moment he collided with Karin, his face, contorted with pain, suddenly froze.
The two were only inches apart. His empty yet burning gaze was fixed on the wood-elemental spiritual light on Huali's body that had not yet completely dissipated.
It was as if passing through her allowed me to see a scene from ten thousand years ago.
Huali stared at him, stunned.
These eyes... what kind of eyes are these?
There was deep-seated hatred, the pain of betrayal, incomprehensible confusion, and even a trace of... subtle bewilderment and longing that he himself might not have even noticed.
"Why...are they different...?"
Before anyone could react, his body shone brightly, and just like before, it transformed into countless cherry blossoms and shattered water droplets, then vanished in an instant.
Li Yuan wiped the bloodstains from his lips, his face terribly gloomy.
Fu Yan's fingertips traced runes as he detected residual energy fluctuations.
Mu Feng's face was clearly solemn, and even Wen Tingyun suppressed all his smiles.
The four of them simultaneously had the same thought: this seemingly fragile and sorrowful afterimage, its original form in life... was definitely extraordinary.
The quality and quantity of this power are beyond the capabilities of ordinary cultivators. Could it be...?
Meanwhile, Huali's heart was still pounding.
What exactly did he go through?
