Chapter 73
Yarrow Beads, Wujiu: ...
——
Yan Zhu opened her eyes again and found herself in an underwater wooden house. Looking up, she saw the rippling sky and two men with anxious faces on the water.
There is a barrier.
They are right under our noses.
Yan Zhu calmly looked at Jing Yue behind him and asked, "What do you mean, young lady? Are you going to kill me? But it seems that I don't have any hatred against you, young lady."
Jingyue: "Sorry."
After the words fell, a turbid voice came from behind Yan Zhu: "Purifying God, long time no see."
This was not the first or second time that someone behind the scenes had tried to kill her, but Yanzhu hadn't expected that Jingyue was also connected to the person behind the scenes.
She really misjudged the person. She really can't judge a person by his appearance.
Yan Zhu met a pair of eagle-like eyes behind the scenes and felt a creepy feeling as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake. She had seen this face in Fangcun Mountain.
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is how the God of Purification should choose?" someone spoke from behind the scenes.
The man turned to look at Jingyue again: "Well done, I will tell you the news later."
Yan Zhu raised an eyebrow: "With the barrier in place, I can't contact the outside world, and you are all in the dark, what choice do I have?
Besides, Jingyue, he is the one who caused all the chaos in the six realms. If you cooperate with him, you will be courting disaster. I advise you to think twice."
Jingyue's expression remained unchanged, as if she was unmoved. "Sorry, he is my last chance."
The person behind the scenes was very satisfied and said to Yan Zhu, "I think the God of Purification has also noticed this. The spiritual energy is thin, the turbid energy is rampant, the ancient gods have fallen one after another, and even Jin Huang is not immune. It is better to cultivate the turbid energy, defy the will of heaven, and escape the fate of falling.
"I guess the God of Purification and Turbidity wouldn't want to perish along with Qingxuan after thousands of years, right?"
After saying this, Yan Zhu pondered for a moment, as if thinking seriously. After a while, he chuckled and said, "How can the turbid air and the spiritual spring evolve and become compatible? We shouldn't sacrifice innocent people and leave countless corpses. Besides, thousands of years is too long. I am not interested."
"I've long expected this. Since the Divine Master refuses to budge, then enjoy the goodies I've prepared for you."
The person behind the scenes smiled strangely, then pulled out a small porcelain bottle. "The Demon Realm's Fortune-Seizing Formation was activated by Jiuli's divine power, and the formation in the human world will be even more perfect with the Chaos Spirit of the Purifying God... Just a little more... and I can defy fate and change my destiny!"
“Hehehe…”
The wild laughter behind the scenes gradually turned insane, "It will be enough soon, the world is about to change..."
Yan Zhu sneered and was about to say that it was a fantasy, when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head and a feeling of dizziness. At the same time, a strange fragrance enveloped her breath.
It was very familiar. She had seen it in Yanfan's medicine furnace before. It was ylang-ylang incense.
However, she was cultivating Chaos Spirit. Didn’t Qingxuan say that it couldn’t be smelled?
The person behind the scenes seemed to have guessed what Yan Zhu was thinking: "The Divine Lord's Chaos Spirit is very useful. I used some Chaos Spirit to water the ylang-ylang flower, and the ylang-ylang fragrance I absorbed will naturally be useful to the Divine Lord.
When you sacrifice divine power, the formation will absorb all the divine power from the center of the formation. Let's go."
When Jingyue left, she glanced at Yanzhu. It was difficult to see her expression in the dark water.
Yan Zhu withdrew her gaze, clenched her fingers, and sneered: "It's just an aphrodisiac incense, I can bear it."
As long as she doesn't voluntarily sacrifice her divine power, the Fortune-stealing Array cannot be truly activated.
What she had to do now was to delay until Qingxuan arrived and destroy the center of the formation. If she guessed correctly, the place where the divine power was sacrificed was the center of the fortune-stealing formation.
Without training, you cannot get a tiger cub.
Yan Zhu cast a barrier around himself that could only be opened from the inside out, and then he felt at ease and let his body curl up in one place like a stray cat.
The ylang-ylang incense was too potent, and Yan Zhu's legs felt limp, unable to muster any strength. Although his eyes began to blur, he forced himself to hold on, still complaining in his heart, "Why hasn't Qingxuan come yet? He's right under his feet."
Could it be that the barrier behind the scenes was too strong, blocking his perception?
It doesn't matter. As long as she refuses to sacrifice, the formation will not be activated...
We must wait for Qingxuan to arrive... and destroy the center of the formation...
Time seemed to stop and no longer flow. Yanzhu's five senses were magnified. She could clearly hear her own breathing and see the surging water.
Until the golden sunlight shimmered and magnified in the pupils, and a man's face became clearer and clearer in the hazy world...
It’s Qingxuan.
"I'm here, Yanzhu, quickly open the barrier and I'll take you away."
Yan Zhu's face flushed and her whole body felt weak. Her bright almond-shaped eyes subconsciously looked at the person who came, only to see that the other person looked anxious and out of control.
Yanzhu shook her head with the last of her strength and set her gaze on the wooden house not far away.
There was a faint light there, which must be related to the eye of the formation. Unfortunately, no matter how she hinted, the man outside the barrier seemed to have only her in his eyes. He could not understand her hints at all and there was no tacit understanding at all.
Yanzhu was completely exhausted and curled up on the ground, her chest rising and falling to calm the burning sensation in her body. Her eyes were filled with impatience and powerlessness. She sighed secretly to calm herself down and convince herself that Qingxuan's behavior was due to his excessive worry about her.
So Yan Zhu was about to reach out to remove the barrier when her mind suddenly became clear.
She raised her eyelids slightly, met the man's worried expression, and pulled the corners of her mouth: "You are pretending very well."
Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then said with deep sorrow: "I know I have lied to you before, but now is a matter of life and death, please don't make a fuss, okay?"
After saying this, Yan Zhu became even more certain that the person in front of her was a fake, but in order to delay time, she had to deal with him.
"How do you prove it?"
The man said, "We have been together in the lonely realm, and have tasted the netherworld water, the wonderful fruits of Fangcun Mountain, and the wontons of the human world. I will teach you the turbid cultivation. Can you prove this?"
Yan Zhu wanted to sneer and mock, but ended up saying something sweet: "Anyone knows this. Besides, don't you dislike Netherworld Water?"
"How could that be? Whatever you like, I naturally like too."
Yanzhu felt amused because Qingxuan had never said whether he liked the Netherworld Water.
Did this imposter think he could trick her with sweet talk? But why was he here? What was he trying to do? He couldn't just send a fake in to chat with her.
Yan Zhu originally wanted to deal with the counterfeit and buy time for Qingxuan, but this person was holding Qingxuan's face, but what he said was really hard to describe. Every three sentences were sweet talk, which was more disgusting than the syrup on the street.
At this moment, she also had to suppress the unbearable heat in her body. She didn't want to waste her mind on this thing, so she simply closed her eyes.
Seeing this, the imposter stopped pretending. After tearing off his disguise, his face was hideous. He smiled coldly, "The Purifying God is indeed smart. He is still enduring. The taste of Yilanxiang is not pleasant. Anyway, I am wearing this face now. Why don't you give it a try, Purifying God?"
Yan Zhu was furious when she heard such obscene words being said to Qingxuan's face, but she was safe inside the barrier at the moment, so she continued to close her eyes and no longer accepted the provocation of the impostor.
Verbal provocation and temptation failed, the counterfeit finally couldn't hold back any longer, he simply pulled out his completely black iron sword and slashed at the barrier with all his might!
Yan Zhu's eyes suddenly turned cold. Although the barrier could not be broken from the outside in a short period of time, it could not withstand the destruction of a person with high cultivation and no regard for the consequences. However, she was unable to maintain the barrier...
Seeing tiny spider patterns appear on the surface of the barrier, the counterfeit was vulnerable and was hit by a dark light, spitting out blood several times.
"Who attacked?"
"A sneak attack, are you worthy of it?"
The man's voice was calm and his movements were unhurried. When he turned around and saw the situation inside the barrier clearly, his face suddenly darkened.
Yan Zhu closed his eyes and endured, his voice as soft as a mosquito: "Destroy the center of the formation first."
"wait for me."
Qingxuan controlled the counterfeit with one hand and covered Yanzhu's vulnerable barrier with the yarrow bead with the other. He then turned around and rushed forward, simultaneously raising his hand to transform it into a sword. The sword's momentum gathered like a rainbow, and thousands of spiritual lights shot out like arrows through the air, rushing straight towards the wooden house.
The man's movements were smooth and flowing, without the slightest hesitation, and his every gesture was filled with fierce decisiveness and murderous intent.
The wooden house instantly became a ruin, and at the same time, a porcelain bottle and a small formation protecting the bottle slowly emerged from the ruins.
The sword's will vanished, Qingxuan intertwined his ten fingers and began to break the formation...
Yan Zhu stared at the man's back with blurry eyes, suppressing the impatience somewhere in her body and muttering, "What's the rush?"
It's just the scent of ylang-ylang, and it's not fatal, but it's too torturous.
Wu Jiu whimpered beside him, "Master, you scared me to death. Wu Jiu will never leave you again."
Yan Zhu: "Knock me out..."
"?"
Wujiu's sobbing stopped abruptly, and he thought he had heard wrongly.
"hurry up……"
Yanzhu felt that her body was out of control and wanted to open the barrier to find Qingxuan.
At this moment, she couldn't get rid of that tall and straight figure in her mind. Even the man's fingers casting spells were full of temptation to her...
"Knock him out!"
Yanzhu's slender knuckles tightly grasped Wujiu, and her pair of sparkling autumn eyes were particularly determined.
Wujiu had no choice but to do as he was told.
The moment Yan Zhu fainted, feeling relieved, she vaguely saw a dark figure running towards her.
Before she lost consciousness, a thought flashed through her mind: He destroyed the center of the formation so quickly?
The moment the center of the formation was destroyed, the counterfeit was furious and immediately detonated his golden elixir, wanting to die together with Yanzhu.
In a flash, two streaks of light appeared.
One is Qingxuan, who wraps Yanzhu with yarrow beads and transfers it instantly.
The other stream of light was the Mirror Moon, which burst out with a dense web that tightly entangled the unknown counterfeit.
"Jingyue, you are so brave! How dare you betray your master?"
Jingyue didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "It's just a tooth for a tooth. Didn't you hide it from me?"
The imposter was speechless: "How do you know this? This is impossible!"
Seeing that the counterfeit was going crazy and his golden elixir was about to explode, Jingyue followed the man's instructions, took out a jade slip, and threw it over the counterfeit's head. The moment it did, golden light became brighter and completely enveloped the counterfeit.
The explosion of the golden elixir was completely suppressed by the golden light, without any leakage.
"What a powerful magical weapon."
Jingyue was quite shocked, but fortunately she chose to believe the man named Qingxuan and turned against him in time.
Jingyue flashed to the side of the two, looked at Yanzhu who had fainted, and said: "She is very smart. The barrier she set can only be opened from inside. If you force the barrier to be broken, then..."
Before he finished speaking, the man looked anxious and pulled slightly with one hand. The wooden hairpin on Yanzhu's head sensed something and emitted a faint light, eliminating the barrier.
Mirror Moon:......
Qingxuan picked up Yanzhu and said, "We'll talk later."
