Chapter 5: Deterrence



"Let's go!" Chu Yao's face became serious as he reminded the people around him.

"Junior sister, wish you good luck!" Chen Muyao dodged and walked away, while Lu Hua on the side walked away even faster.

Bai Yuejian nodded, then used her Qinggong skills to float away. She believed in her junior sister's abilities and tried not to hold her back.

The black mirror came rushing towards her, but Chu Yao was no longer nervous and felt surprisingly calm.

She had been cultivating Taoism for a long time, entering the world of cultivation at a young age. She had learned many techniques, but she had no experience in the mortal martial arts world. She could imitate the unique physical skills of several previous cultivators, but it was not reliable.

The greatest reliance at this time is the "Spirit Preservation Technique"!

The black mirror was mysterious and unpredictable. At this critical moment, she had no time to hold back.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Chu Yao actually took the initiative to rush towards the black mirror!

According to her previous observations, the black mirror would pause for a few breaths before emitting black mist, and this short period of time was her chance.

Chu Yao dodged to the side and in a moment he was at the side of the black mirror. He recited the soul storage technique that he had memorized by heart silently, and the spiritual power in his body jumped slightly as before.

The reason why it is "shallow" is because Chu Yao has estimated in an instant that the spiritual power he can use is only at the level of the first level of Qi Refining Realm.

But even if it's only the Qi Refining level, it's enough.

The black mirror had begun to emit a faint black mist. Chu Yao felt an extremely terrifying suction force pulling her from it. The situation was urgent!

The spell changed again, and Chu Yao used the weak spiritual power that he could mobilize to perform a technique of escape that he learned during Qi Refining, the Ghost Hidden Step.

This escape technique was quite impressive, having helped Chu Yao escape death several times. When fully exerted, his body would transform into a ghostly mist, and with his Qi Refining Perfection, he could approach the speed of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Now this amount of magic power is naturally not that earth-shattering, but it is enough.

Chu Yao's figure flashed, smoke appeared under his feet, and in an instant he was away from the range of the black fog and came to the group of cultivators.

Seeing this seemingly ordinary female cultivator escape so easily, the surrounding cultivators couldn't help but look at her sideways.

It seemed easy, but only Chu Yao knew the dangers involved. Every move she had made was incredibly risky; a single miscalculated move could mean a complete loss.

Everyone thought she was using some difficult Qinggong technique, which was because the black mirror had helped conceal some of her movements when she was practicing the technique, and she did this intentionally. Even so, Chu Yao could sense some meaningful glances from the crowd.

Hah. Chu Yao sneered and looked at each of them fearlessly.

There were many people with sharp eyes present, and her little trick could not deceive everyone. Someone must have guessed that she used magic.

But what if you guessed it? If you have the guts, come and grab it!

The Black Mirror lost its target and turned to a nearby unlucky monk. This man also used many tricks, but in the end he was unable to escape the clutches of the Black Mirror.

As soon as the black mirror disappeared, someone pointed at Chu Yao and said, "This female cultivator just used her spiritual power!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder exploding in the crowd, and everyone's eyes turned to look at Chu Yao, with greed and passion in their eyes!

"Hmm?" Chu Yao had not expected this to happen. She squinted her eyes and looked at the monk who was speaking. The latter was a one-eyed old man. She was sure that the two had never met before.

"What a joke! You told me to use it, and I used it? Then I'd also say you're a spy planted by the being behind the Black Mirror to sow discord. Do you dare admit it?"

Chu Yao crossed her arms in front of her chest, showing no fear at all.

"You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me! I have practiced for over five hundred years, and all my Daoist skills are in my sight. What you just used was clearly the Ghost Gate Escape Technique from the Northern Territory. It requires sufficient spiritual power to penetrate the Jiexi River, and it can only be used with the help of the key techniques of the Ghost Dao."

Some people nearby seemed to recognize the one-eyed old man and responded one after another, thinking that he was also a famous monk.

"You've been refining your eyes for five hundred years, and you've even blinded one. I bet your Dharma Eyes aren't that great!"

"You! ... sharp-tongued!" The one-eyed old man was so angry that he almost fainted. The monk beside him quickly spoke in his defense:

"The old man's Taoist skills are profound, and his Dharma eyes are divine. His vision can see thousands of miles away. Every cultivator in our Southern Region knows this. Since he said this, it is certainly not without purpose!"

"Now that our cultivation has been sealed, we have no place to exert our strength. If this fairy truly has a method to remove the seal, why keep it to herself? Give it to all of you fellow Taoists. With our concerted efforts, perhaps we can escape today's catastrophe!"

"That's right! That's it!" Everyone around echoed, enjoying the fun.

"Words are not enough. Even if you have a keen eye and the Southern Region recognizes it, we in the Northern Region don't." Bai Yuejian came over and stood with Chu Yao.

Chu Yao glanced at her senior sister with gratitude, then put her hands on her hips and continued to taunt her:

"Either produce some evidence or stop lying and making such a fuss! And you, you, you..." Chu Yao pointed at the people who had been shouting the loudest earlier, "Have you forgotten how you were captured? Don't even mention that I can't use my spiritual power. Even if I could, even if all of you were to recover, who among you could stand up to the golden light? Or that black mirror?"

Normally, Chu Yao would have been more reserved in the face of so many Nascent Soul masters. But now, everyone was on the same level, so who was superior? Being coerced like this, she might as well just curse openly.

Xiao's words reminded several people of the painful past of being captured. Their faces turned pale, but some still insisted:

"Even so, we believe what Mr. One-Eye said. If you really used a taijutsu, why not perform it again for everyone to see?"

"You guys..." Bai Yue was getting angry and was about to scold him, but Chu Yao's attitude suddenly changed:
