They didn't need to think about what was happening outside; suddenly, they heard a loud explosion outside their courtyard.
Immediately, all the Jingyun Mountain disciples who were resting in the courtyard came out of their houses and stood under the eaves, all looking out.
Flashes of light from the battle occasionally streaked across the dark sky, moving so fast that they couldn't see what was happening outside.
"How are we going to get out of here..." Zhen Po even took out his magic weapon, looking like he was about to rush outside at any moment. Fortunately, some of the older disciples stepped forward to stop his impulsive behavior.
"Enough! All disciples, be quiet! Form the array! Since the elder has protected everyone here, it means that what's outside is indeed beyond our reach. However, we must not let our guard down. Everyone, form the array for defense!"
At the same time as the order was given, Mingmei pulled Meijiu and walked towards the disciples. Along the way, Mingmei and Meijiu had already taken out their magic weapon to summon people.
Great, it would be foolish not to call your parents at a time like this!
Mingmei thought to herself and Meijiu infused their magic weapon with spiritual energy to shake off the crowd. No matter how chaotic things were outside, at least, if someone of her parents' level appeared, they would have to give way, right?
"They'll be here soon."
After Mingmei and Meijiu called for help, they told everyone what had happened, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, Mei Shi and Ming Mei are seen as having an invincible aura in everyone's eyes, making them feel incredibly safe!
"I wonder how everyone at Lianhua Temple in the next courtyard is doing now." Now that their own safety was temporarily assured, everyone in the next courtyard couldn't help but start to care about the people there.
Hearing the noise outside, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened next door?
Just as they finished worrying, a dazzling white light suddenly shone from one side of their yard.
As everyone turned their heads, the magic array inscribed with Buddhist teachings soared into the air, and their courtyard was also affected.
"My God... the power within this formation..."
They were all startled by the immense power that rose when the formation was activated. When the light from the formation next door shone on their bodies, they felt a warm sensation.
"No...our formation is dissipating..."
At this moment, one of the NPCs who had been leaning against the edge of the transparent magic circle suddenly spoke up.
"It seems like their power has been reduced."
Mei Jiu could also sense that the rising array next door had a dissolving effect on the Fifth Elder's array.
Although they were both righteous cultivators, and understood that the other party's formation was powerful, effective, and harmless, directly merging with someone else's defensive formation made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Hey. Hey, we can leave the corridor now!"
The Fifth Elder's formation only covered the rooms and corridors, not even the courtyard. Now, due to the formation of Lianhua Temple, the Fifth Elder's formation gradually became ineffective, and everyone walked to the courtyard gate, looking in the direction where the light from the previous battle was the strongest.
What a big tree.
Everyone: "..."
With their view blocked by a tree, no one knew what to say for a moment.
Crucially, the Lianhua Temple's formation also prevents entry and exit.
Just as a group of disciples from Jingyun Mountain were peeking out of the courtyard gate and sighing, they suddenly heard a soft laugh. The group turned around and saw the abbot of Lianhua Temple standing aloofly not far from their courtyard gate.
From the other person's perspective, it would look like a row of heads growing on the top of the door.
Jingyun Mountain disciples: "..."
It seems there really is a bit of social death.
The most amazing thing was that a row of heads had also "grown" in the neighboring yard behind them, and the laughter just now probably came from the gate of the neighboring yard.
So, it seemed as if the abbot had eyes in the back of his head. He suddenly turned around and saw that the young disciples in his temple had made the same gesture.
A hint of weariness flashed across her delicate, aloof eyes.
"Host, what exactly happened?"
Of those present, Shi Qing was probably the most capable, so it was perfectly reasonable for Mingmei to directly ask the other party what had happened.
"I don't know." Shi Qing's answer was quite unexpected. "We were just passing by."
After saying that, Shi Qing met Ming Mei's questioning gaze and added, "We were just unexpected guests in this plan."
This time, the other party simply said that the matter outside was something the Fifth Elder had wanted to do a long time ago, and it had nothing to do with him.
"Even so, since you're unwilling to get involved, why did you come tonight and stay here?" Mingmei was a little annoyed by the other party's indifferent attitude.
She wasn't trying to morally blackmail him into taking action, but his response and demeanor today made it seem like he already knew, had come to check things out, and then, when it actually happened, said, "It's none of my business."
If it's not closed, why come to watch the show?
...
"What happened?"
Upon hearing the commotion inside the city lord's mansion, Lu Gui instinctively rushed in, only to be stopped halfway by Lou Jia.
"Don't go in. This commotion is probably not something someone with only a Foundation Establishment cultivation level like you could cause."
Lou Jia looked at the color of the sky above the City Lord's Mansion and immediately realized that a huge barrier had been erected around the mansion, making it impossible to enter unless one reached a certain level of cultivation.
Lou Jia remembered that insectoid race.
"This is probably related to that Zerg. You and the other players be careful. I'll go in first." Lou Jia finished speaking to Lu Gui and prepared to rush in. When Lu Gui heard that it was related to that Zerg, his expression turned extremely ugly.
It felt like the grand finale, but as a player, he felt no sense of participation whatsoever.
Mingmei and the others felt the same way. Looking at the figures flashing by and the light of battle above the sky, their anxiety was like that of a kitten seeing a dried fish but not being able to eat it!
Mei Jiu craned her neck, hoping to see something, but after a long time she couldn't see clearly who was knocked away or who charged forward. The battles between high-level cultivators were really flashy and made a lot of noise!
"When exactly will Father and Mother arrive?"
After a long while, she remembered that she and Mingmei had summoned their parents over.
It should be almost time.
"You called for Master Mingxiao?" Upon hearing Mei Jiu's words, Shi Qing's eyes flashed with surprise.
Is there a problem?
Mingmei noticed the surprise in the other person's eyes, and a sudden unease flashed through her heart.
"No, I just mean—this heretical cultivator is quite skilled."
As soon as Shi Qing finished speaking, her bright eyes couldn't help but shrink instantly!
Does he mean that his parents have arrived, but have already started fighting?
However, her parents' cultivation level was already considered top-tier even in the game!
Who can fight them for this long?
Mingmei couldn't help but look towards the direction of the battle outside. If her parents had already joined in, yet the fight had dragged on for so long, what did that mean?
Could it be that the Zerg are this powerful in the game too?!
