Chapter 128 Her adoptive father’s enemies blamed her for being ungrateful!
The Palace Master of the Blood Cloud Palace was stunned when he saw the gas shield that his sword could not penetrate.
He was very familiar with this kind of gas shield. Only a grandmaster could release his internal energy to solidify a defensive gas shield. But he was also very sure that Huo Yunzi was indeed just an ordinary genius in the innate realm.
How could a teenage genius in the Xiantian realm release the Qi shield that only a grandmaster could condense? Besides, even a grandmaster can’t condense such a thick gas shield, right?
Could it be that this teenage girl is the legendary supreme grandmaster, and the reason she displayed her innate strength was to make him lower his guard?
But... the Palace Master of Blood Cloud Palace looked at Huo Yunzi who could only passively defend and was unable to counterattack, and completely dispelled this incredible speculation.
The Palace Master of the Blood Cloud Palace was a very qualified villain who was ruthless and taciturn. He did not stop his attack and said something to Huo Yunzi, "How did you do that?" 'This kind of nonsense, instead of saying a word, he just kept silent and attacked Huo Yunzi's defense shield frantically for a cup of tea, and then he stopped with a slight breath.
With the strength and speed of the Blood Cloud Palace Master, a cup of tea was enough time for him to stab out thousands of swords, and enough time for him to kill Huo Yunzi tens of thousands of times.
But he could do nothing about the Qi shield surrounding Huo Yunzi.
This defense is even harder to break than that of a martial artist who has practiced the Golden Bell Cover. There is not even a loophole, it is simply a turtle shell.
The Palace Master of Blood Cloud Palace stopped the useless sword in his hand and asked Huo Yunzi, "This ability is definitely not something a girl like you in the Xiantian realm can do. Could it be that the mysterious master behind you? Why would such a peerless master act in secret?"
Huo Yunzi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the Palace Master of the Blood Cloud Palace had finally stopped attacking her and talking nonsense.
Just stop maintaining the high frequency of attacks just now. She was worried that the durability of this backup plan that her father had left on her would be cut off by the Blood Cloud Palace Master.
In order to delay time, Huo Yunzi was also willing to engage in verbal battle with the Blood Cloud Palace Master.
She deliberately raised her eyebrows and said provocatively, "Sneaky? He is not as sneaky as you are. He is the Palace Master of Blood Cloud Palace, but he has to use the method of stalking and sneak attack to deal with a teenager like me. He is so shameless to bully the weak with his big body!"
The Palace Master of Blood Cloud Palace didn't care at all that Huo Yunzi described him as a despicable villain who bullied the weak. He was not a master of the righteous path and he still cared about his face. Since he dared to launch a sneak attack on Huo Yunzi, he would not care about such evaluation.
What happened to sneak attack? A sneak attack is the most cost-effective method of action with the lowest casualty rate.
The Palace Master of Blood Cloud Palace sneered, "Don't provoke me with words. I have always acted like this. Do you think I care about your provocation?" He shouted, "Tell me who that mysterious master is!"
He absolutely did not believe that such an almighty and powerful person could be an ordinary hermit.
If he was a real recluse, he wouldn't be so secretive and hide his identity. He must have a legitimate identity, but he didn't want outsiders to know about it, so he concealed it deliberately.
Huo Yunzi continued to stall for time: "It's okay for me to tell you, but you have to tell me first, why do you want to put aside the dignity of a master to assassinate me?"
The Palace Master of Blood Cloud Palace knew that Huo Yunzi, who was wearing a turtle shell, was probably not afraid of his threat. If he did not satisfy Huo Yunzi's curiosity, Huo Yunzi would not satisfy his curiosity either.
Since the reason for this matter is an open secret, it’s okay to tell her.
So the Blood Cloud Palace Master said, "There is no other reason, it's just that you are too talented. I didn't break through the Xiantian realm until I was nearly thirty years old, but you reached the Xiantian realm when you were only ten years old. It is very likely that you will become a Grandmaster in the future. Who in the Demonic Path would like to see another Grandmaster who hates evil as much as he hates evil?"
It is said that Huo Yunzi hates evil, and she really does hate evil.
As Huo Yunzi was traveling around the world gaining experience, she was involved in various disturbances and inevitably met all kinds of people.
At the beginning, Huo Yunzi would judge people based on their camps. For example, she would trust people from righteous sects more, and would be wary of disciples from evil sects or independent cultivators who practiced magic.
In fact, Huo Yunzi was right to be wary of those disciples of the evil ways or those independent practitioners. No matter what their natures were, those who practiced the magic arts would become cruel, murderous, insidious and cunning because of the magic arts. She had suffered losses several times because of her vigilance.
But Huo Yunzi failed to raise her vigilance against the righteous disciples, which caused her to suffer a great loss.
Huo Yunzi regretted that she didn't take precautions in time. There was already an example of a hypocrite like Wan Buyin's father before her, so how could she make the same mistake again?
From then on, Huo Yunzi no longer judged people by their camp or stance, but by good and evil, showing her hatred of evil. When she encountered disciples from the righteous sects doing evil and killing innocent people, she would still take action to solve the problem.
As a result, Huo Yunzi's reputation for hating evil spread more and more widely.
This also makes people in the evil world increasingly uneasy. In fact, there is a tacit understanding between the masters of the righteous path and the masters of the evil path. The ones who really fight to the death are the middle and lower levels, and the top levels will not kill each other if there are no huge conflicts of interest.
After all, everyone's strength is about the same. If you try to kill the other party, they will fight back desperately, and it may end up being a lose-lose situation.
As long as there is no sufficient interest to drive them to take action at the risk of mutual loss, they will not really fight to the death.
The premise of such a delicate balance is that the combat power of the top leaders of both sides is similar.
If a supreme grandmaster is born in the righteous path, who has an overwhelming advantage over the high-level members of the evil path, will the righteous path still maintain this delicate balance with the evil path?
Of course not, they will only try to take advantage of the opportunity to eradicate the evil ways and monopolize all the benefits of the entire martial arts world.
Therefore, no matter whether it is the righteous path or the evil path, assassinating the talented young juniors of the other camp is an unspoken understanding.
In the past, there were many geniuses of the righteous path who died at the hands of masters of the evil path, and there were also many geniuses of the evil path who died at the hands of powerful men of the righteous path.
The assassination of Huo Yunzi by the Blood Cloud Palace Master was actually just a normal action of a demon master assassinating a righteous genius.
The only difference is that Huo Yunzi's protection measures are more stringent and more incredible than those righteous geniuses who were assassinated in previous years.
The Palace Master of Blood Cloud Palace originally thought that Huo Yunzi would have a master-level protector by her side. After all, she was only in her teens and had already reached the Innate Realm, which was too much of a genius.
But Huo Yunzi's protective measures really shocked and puzzled him.
Although Huo Yunzi's protective measures are incredible, she does not have a master-level protector like the previous righteous geniuses.
The righteous sects are not monolithic. Although in name all of them have the responsibility to protect righteous geniuses, most of them are wary of and reject righteous geniuses who are not from their own sects.
After all, the cake is so small, and it is so difficult to completely eradicate the evil path. The share of profits for one's own sect is already not enough. Do they have to support a medium-sized sect like the Sunset Sect to become stronger in order to grab their own resources and interests?
Therefore, there are many righteous masters who sit on the sidelines and watch.
In the past, those geniuses who had grandmaster protectors around them were mostly elders from their own sects. After all, geniuses can only be better trained in large sects, and a true dragon cannot be raised in shallow water.
Those big sects can certainly send out powerful masters to protect their precious geniuses.
However, the Sunset Sect is only a medium-sized sect, where even the only masters of the Innate Realm are the leader and his daughter.
Huo Yunzi herself is the second best master in the sect. Could she possibly ask the elders who are at the peak of the acquired realm to be her protectors?
As the head of the sect, Si Yuan is too busy to have the time to run around with her every day to calm down the disturbances in the martial arts world.
So when Huo Yunzi was assassinated by the Palace Master of Blood Cloud Palace, there was no righteous master around to rescue and protect her. Only the backup plan that Si Yuan left for her was activated to protect her.
Huo Yunzi's long period of training was not in vain. She was very clear about her situation. Now the only rescuer she could wait for was her father. As for the other masters and grand masters of the righteous path, no matter how much they felt sorry for her as a peerless genius, they might not stand up for her.
Huo Yunzi faced the Blood Cloud Palace Master who was full of murderous intent, and she forced herself to remain calm and composed. She said to him calmly, "Since the Palace Master said that I am a peerless genius with the qualifications of a future Grandmaster, how come you didn't expect that I have protection?"
The Palace Master of Blood Cloud Palace nodded honestly and said, "I thought of that, but I thought the one who would protect you would be the mysterious master who destroyed Mingjian Villa. There is no other master in Sunset Sect who is qualified to protect you, and the masters of other righteous sects are all very hypocritical, and they may not be happy to see Sunset Sect rise."
So before he came to assassinate Huo Yunzi, he never considered whether he would face revenge from the righteous after killing her.
Huo Yunzi does not have a strong enough backer, so she cannot mobilize the righteous camp to put pressure on the evil camp.
Huo Yunzi didn't care what the Blood Cloud Palace Master thought. She was willing to stand here and chat with him just to buy time and wait for rescue.
The same was true for the Blood Cloud Palace Master. He was willing to continue chatting with Huo Yunzi in order to buy time for the turtle shell on Huo Yunzi to weaken.
The Blood Cloud Palace Palace Master was very sensitive to the Qi shield. He clearly felt that the tortoise-shell-like Qi shield around Huo Yunzi was gradually weakening with the passage of time.
It should be because the internal force in Huo Yunzi's body was unable to replenish the true qi of the true qi shield, causing the true qi of the true qi shield to continue to dissipate and naturally become weaker.
The Palace Master of the Blood Cloud Palace was chatting with Huo Yunzi when he suddenly stabbed with his sword to test the situation.
