Chapter 458: Prepare to Take Action
Yun Qingqing's spiritual power has always been extremely restrained. In addition, the situation at the scene was tense and the pressure of the blood cloud was overwhelming. For a moment, no one noticed that there was an extra person here.
Until the clear clouds passed by silently and brought the dawn.
Duan Xiangrong and Kong Zhao suddenly turned their heads to look over there almost at the same time.
Duan Xiangrong's expression changed:
"Where did this little girl come from! Who are you?!"
Kong Zhao was so shocked that he gasped and quickly came to Yun Qingqing's side with a serious expression:
"Why are you here?! Didn't I tell you to wait inside the sect? Do you know how dangerous this place is?"
Yun Qingqing didn't answer her, but stuffed a stack of talismans into her hands:
"Master, quickly send people to guard the eight directions. Each of you should take a talisman and activate them simultaneously upon my command to break this formation."
Kong Zhao was stunned for a moment.
But when she saw Yun Qingqing's calm expression and firm tone, she felt inexplicably reassured and trusting in a situation where no one knew what to do.
Kong Zhao hesitated for a moment before taking the talisman and nodded, and arranged for the elders and disciples to take the talisman to guard the eight directions.
Duan Xiangrong crossed his arms and watched these people act, without stopping them, just sneering.
"You're truly a young, fearless person, little girl. You're only this young, how many formations have you seen? Do you think this is just playing house within the sect, under the care of your master?"
Seeing that Yun Qingqing was only around the age of 15, he thought she was just another spoiled disciple from a big sect, and his eyes lit up.
He just saw Yun Qingqing taking out stacks of talismans.
The sword in her hand did not look like an ordinary one either.
Even the sword in the hand of Sect Master Kong Zhao was not as sharp as hers.
Duan Xiangrong was certain that Yun Qingqing had a lot of magical weapons, elixirs and other things on her, and maybe even a lot of rare treasures. Duan Xiangrong showed a greedy look as if he saw a fat sheep.
Although his guess was correct in a sense, Yun Qingqing did carry a lot of valuable things with her, but all these things were Yun Qingqing's own, and there were no magical weapons or elixirs given to her by her elders in the sect.
Yun Qingqing glanced at Duan Xiangrong indifferently.
He immediately laughed and said:
"Little girl, how about a deal? Hand over all the magic weapons and elixirs you have now. I can protect you from death under this blood cloud and even take you to the more powerful Honghuang Palace. Your future is limitless! What do you think?"
Before Yun Qingqing could speak, Kong Zhao couldn't help but yell back.
"Shut up!" The sect leader was a ruthless man who didn't say much. He just swept over with a sword.
Duan Xiangrong dodged slowly and sneered.
"What does it have to do with you that I'm talking to this little sister? She's obviously not from your Shuihua Sect. I'm afraid you can't control her, right?"
As he spoke, he looked at Yun Qingqing with a smile and tried to persuade her:
"Little girl, what's your name? I see you have good talent..."
Before he could finish, Kong Zhao swung his sword again, interrupting him.
"Duan Xiangrong, forget about that idea. I'm telling you, as long as I'm still alive today, I'll definitely keep Fellow Daoist Yun safe!"
Seeing that Duan Xiangrong seemed to want to say something, she snorted coldly and rushed over with her sword raised, wanting to fight him to prevent him from distracting Qingqing's attention.
However, Duan Xiangrong did not fight back at all. He retreated quickly just before the empty move was about to rush forward. He did not know what talisman or magic weapon he used, but his body suddenly dissipated gradually and disappeared in a short while.
Kong Zhao stood with a sword in his hand and looked around, but he couldn't tell whether Duan Xiangrong was hiding somewhere or had already left.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and returned to Yun Qingqing.
As the blood clouds in the sky rolled closer and closer, a depressing atmosphere formed between heaven and earth.
Kong Zhao had no idea what to do at the moment, so he looked at Yun Qingqing as if it was a last resort:
"What's going on? What exactly is this strange formation? Are you sure you can break it?"
