"What happened up ahead?"
Mo Jing asked in surprise, "This beam of light seems to be emitting demonic energy. Could it be that a demon has appeared?"
Yu Qiu raised his eyes and glanced at the beam of light, then curled his lips seductively.
"You'll know when you go and take a look."
When the proud heroes of Qiongtian heard this, they swallowed silently.
Isn't this Fengyun team too fierce?! They knew there was a tiger in the mountain, but they still went there.
At this moment, Yun Zheng noticed the communication crystal in the storage space light up. She probed her spiritual sense into it and found a message from Grandma Tianyue: "Friend Yun, Fu Yue'er has disappeared. She and a dozen other geniuses were swept up in a pillar of light emitting demonic energy. Then, both the people and the pillar of light disappeared. Friend Yun, if you saw that pillar of light, please let me know."
After hearing the message, she looked up at the beam of light in the distant sky.
The beam of light teleported back and forth above the mountains, sometimes moving to the top of the mountain, and sometimes falling to the bottom of the valley.
It looks like...playing.
Yun Zheng pursed her lips and replied, "Grandma Tianyue, we just happened to encounter this strange, demonic light column. It's located above the mountains. Don't worry, we'll go check it out first and let you know if there's anything else."
Immediately, she told Grandma Tianyue the approximate location.
It's probably right after you enter the Primordial Nine Gates. Start walking forward and you'll encounter fog...
Granny Tianyue replied quickly, her tone a little hurried: "Okay, thank you, little friend Yun, I'll be right there."
Yun Zheng frowned and told Qiongtian and his group about You Fuyue.
After hearing this, the Qiongtian prides became even more terrified and uneasy. If they went to deal with that demonic light column now, wouldn't they be courting death?!
They also knew You Fuyue, a famous prodigy in Yaoguang Continent. She was naturally strong and talented, but she was also swept away!
Then they...
Yun Zheng seemed to see through their inner thoughts, so she smiled caringly and said, "You guys stay here for a while, we'll go there first."
"Yun Zheng, you don't want to abandon us?" a genius blurted out.
This made Yun Zheng's eyes turn cold, and she said nonchalantly:
"yes."
The faces of the geniuses changed, and when they were about to say something, they were interrupted coldly by Yun Zheng.
"We let you go, but you're resentful. And when we don't let you go, you say we've abandoned you? That's ridiculous! We're not your parents, so how could we care so much about you? If you're afraid, don't enter the Nine Gates of the Great Desolation!"
"There are dangers everywhere in the Nine Gates of the Great Desolation, unless you stay where you are. However, I want to tell you that even if you stay where you are, danger may find you."
Yun Zheng sneered.
"No one owes you anything, not me, and not even Qiongtian Shuo Palace!"
"If you want to follow, then follow. If you don't, it doesn't matter."
These words made the geniuses blush.
It's more of a feeling of frustration and unhappiness.
"If the Emperor were here..." A genius was about to threaten her, but he remembered that Yun Zheng was the apple of the Emperor's eye. If the Emperor were here, he would definitely stand on Yun Zheng's side. He swallowed his words silently.
Several Tianjiao looked at each other and said very confidently: "Let's go!"
“Who’s willing to follow you guys all the time?”
After saying that, the seven geniuses looked gloomy, waved their sleeves and left the team in a leisurely manner, and headed towards the mountains on their own.
Seeing this, the other Tianjiao weighed the pros and cons and decided to follow Yun Zheng and the others. After all, the Nine Primordial Gates were filled with too many uncertainties. Their strength was not strong. Without a leader, they could easily die here without any clear explanation.
In fact, the Fengyun Eight were already treating them very well.
They will not push them out to die, and will protect them if they are in danger.
The more they thought about it, the more ashamed they felt.
"Sorry," they whispered, "we didn't mean to contradict you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng didn't say anything about forgiving them. She just said calmly, "Let's go."
First, five people died, and then seven geniuses left. Qiongtian's group was down by nearly a third. They all headed towards the direction of the mysterious pillar of light above the mountains.
On the way, Yun Zheng opened her bloodshot eyes and looked at the beam of light.
The scene she saw made her face suddenly freeze. More than thirty people were enveloped and wrapped in the light column. They were all unconscious, so there was no struggle.
What is even more shocking is that the demonic light column has been absorbing the life breath of these geniuses.
There is indeed You Fuyue inside!
Yun Zheng turned to look at them. "Fellow Daoist You and the others have indeed been sucked into the demonic light column. Qingfeng and Moyu, the two of you stay here and protect them. Lan and the others will go ahead."
Qing Feng's face was serious, "Yes, Empress."
Mo Yu pursed his lips and said hesitantly: "But..." The Emperor's order is: everything comes first!
But he changed his mind and thought, since Qingfeng trusted the emperor and empress so much, the emperor and empress would probably not be in any danger.
"Yes, Empress!"
The geniuses hesitated to speak.
Si Kouyuan interrupted their thoughts. She stared at Yun Zheng and said, "Junior Sister, I'll go with you."
"Then I'll go too!" Sima Xun quickly raised his hand, his face swollen.
Si Kouyuan glared at him angrily, "You are so weak, don't follow me."
"I'm not weak, Senior Sister." Sima Xun quickly argued, "I can kill a cow with one punch."
Si Kouyuan narrowed her eyes slightly, "I can kill ten of you."
Sima Xun trembled: "..."
Yun Zheng stared at Si Kouyuan seriously, "Senior Sister, have you really decided?"
Si Kouyuan nodded solemnly.
People who practice cultivation must go against the will of heaven. When faced with difficulties and obstacles, they must naturally overcome them with their own hands.
"Okay." Yun Zheng nodded, then turned around and looked at her friends.
"Walk!"
The eight Fengyun men, plus Si Kouyuan, immediately sped up and rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.
Sima Xun wanted to run away, but was ruthlessly pulled back by Qingfeng.
Qing Feng said expressionlessly, "Little brother Sima, the Empress didn't ask you to go, so just stay put."
Sima Xun put his hands together and made a "please be kind" gesture, and said anxiously, "Qingfeng Protector, please be flexible. I don't want to go with them, I just want to go to the bathroom."
Qingfeng immediately saw through his clumsy lie.
"Very cunning."
Sima Xun heard this and knew that the Qingfeng Protector would absolutely not compromise. His eyes flashed, and then he ran forward regardless.
"Ahhh!" He roared and rushed forward.
In an instant, the collar made a ripping sound.
Just when he thought he had escaped, another large hand grabbed Fate by the scruff of the neck.
