Chapter 364 Where are the people?
Yun Qingqing listened to the voices coming from somewhere in the sky, suddenly looked up and glanced in one direction.
Outside the scroll, Chu Jingyan also saw the woman raise her head.
Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, he clearly felt a gaze directed at him, and he couldn't help but be startled.
The woman in the painting moved her hands, and a clear voice came from the painting, echoing in the hall.
"One force breaks all laws!"
Chu Jingyan only saw a tiny golden light blooming in the woman's hand on the screen. He didn't take it too seriously and sneered sinisterly:
"A mere trifle! The laws of nature within the Xumi Scroll are beyond the reach of your unconventional magic..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt that the golden light became bigger and the scroll in his hand seemed to shake.
Chu Jingyan was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he heard a muffled "boom, drop, drop" sound coming from the scroll, followed by a "click" sound.
Suddenly, a warning bell rang in his heart, and he shook his hand violently and threw the scroll to the ground several feet away.
Almost at the same time, the scroll suddenly trembled violently, and cracks appeared from the golden light as if the space was torn apart, spreading to all directions!
"What...what!" Chu Jingyan was shocked!
After a series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds, a medium-sized golden rune suddenly burst out from the crack in space. Chu Jingyan immediately realized that this thing was the talisman that had just appeared in Yun Qingqing's hand in the scroll!
How could such a small thing possibly penetrate the spatial restriction of the Sumeru Scroll!
Just as he was shocked and in disbelief, a white light flashed above the scroll, and Yun Qingqing appeared out of thin air, unharmed and with a calm expression.
Then several more people appeared from the scroll. They were the elders of the Seven Stars Hall.
But they were not as calm and composed as Yun Qingqing. They were all gasping for breath and were still in shock. The third elder was struggling in the air and making strange coughing sounds, as if he had choked on water.
"This is... the back hall of Tianxuan Hall!"
"Calm down, we're out!"
The fifth and sixth elders were the first to notice something was wrong and immediately gave a warning.
The First Elder, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Seventh Elder also reacted one after another and looked around in shock.
"Really...really came out?"
"Chu Jingyan! Not only did you steal the Xumi Scroll, but you also dared to attack our elders! This matter must be explained!"
"Don't think you can escape punishment just because you stopped in time!"
Facing the elders' angry rebuke, Chu Jingyan did not say a word, but just stared at a spot on the ground. The shock on his face made the elders look in the direction he was looking, and they all immediately showed the same horrified expression.
"How...how did the Sumeru Scroll become like this!" the Great Elder exclaimed in shock.
The fourth elder immediately became angry and said with his eyes wide open:
"Chu Jingyan, you're so bold! Not only did you steal the Xumi Scroll without permission, you even dared to damage it!"
Chu Jingyan came back to his senses from the shock and suddenly snorted coldly:
"You said I damaged a super-grade spiritual weapon? The Fourth Elder thinks too highly of me!"
His disrespectful attitude made the Fourth Elder even more furious. He swung his whisk and sent a gust of wind towards him, intending to capture him first and then punish him.
Chu Jingyan laughed sinisterly, took two steps back calmly, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
The elders then noticed that a teleportation formation on the ground where he disappeared was rapidly dissipating.
The fourth elder was furious and was about to rush out to arrange for his disciples to search for the person, but he heard the third elder say sternly:
"No! Yun Qingqing, you were the one who destroyed this Xumi scroll!"
Several elders looked towards Yun Qingqing at the same time, and saw her raise her hand and wave, and the inconspicuous golden rune disappeared.
The third elder said coldly:
"Don't try to deny it! I saw the illusion collapse. It was that thing in your hand that shattered the space and destroyed the Xumi Scroll! How are you going to explain this to the Seven Star Palace?"
Yun Qingqing glanced at him expressionlessly:
"It's just a fake, so what? Elders, please think about this first. If something happens to my husband in your Seven Stars Palace, how will you give me an explanation?"
The Third Elder was choked by her and immediately became furious again, but for a moment he didn't know what to be angry about first.
But the Fourth Elder couldn't stand the fact that his super-grade spiritual weapon was being questioned, so he shouted:
"Fake? That's sheer nonsense! How can you, an outsider, interfere with the Seven Stars Palace's magical instruments?"
Yun Qingqing pulled out the green hairpin without saying a word. A green light flashed and Dawn appeared in her hand.
The elder's eyelids twitched, and he said in a deep voice:
"Let's not talk about this for now. Close the mountain and search immediately. Find Chu Jingyan first!"
Although he was saddened by the damage to the Xumi Scroll, he was even more shocked that this little girl actually had a treasure that could destroy a super-grade spiritual weapon!
He didn't even consider the possibility that Yun Qingqing had torn the spiritual weapon apart with her own ability, and subconsciously concluded that it was another trump card given by her senior master.
Moreover, the Great Elder felt that what she had just used might have exceeded the scope of magical instruments. That was a magic weapon!
There are actually magical weapons in this world? How powerful must her background be!
If you can avoid getting angry, try not to do so.
The Great Elder was not too concerned about the damage to the Sumeru Scroll at this moment. After all, if the other sect even had magical weapons, they would probably have a lot of super-grade spiritual weapons as well.
By negotiating properly at that time, there will be a chance to make the other party pay compensation of equal level.
However, given the current situation, it would be best if the Regent is not actually captured and brought to the Seven Star Palace. If he is really found here... he must sever all ties with Chu Jingyan and hand him over to him for disposal!
The Great Elder's mind was in a whirlwind, and he had considered a lot of things in an instant.
But I heard Yun Qingqing say calmly:
"No need to search. Chu Jingyan is in the center hall of this palace. The person I'm looking for is also in there. There's also someone in there who should be of similar status to you. I think it's the Second Elder. In addition, there's a magical weapon that's much more valuable than that fake scroll."
Yun Qingqing stared at one direction and finished speaking, then muttered to herself:
"The aura of this magical weapon... looks somewhat familiar."
"You!" The fourth elder became angry when he heard the word "fake". He pointed at her and was about to lose his temper again, but was stopped by the first elder.
The Great Elder looked doubtfully towards the long corridor leading to the depths of the main hall, thinking that he hadn't seen the girl tell fortunes, yet she spoke with such certainty... How many unimaginable spiritual weapons did she carry on her?
"...In that case, let's go and see what's going on!"
The Great Elder did not hesitate for long before making a decision.
Yun Qingqing put away her spiritual pupils, held the Dawn Sword in her hand, and walked towards the depths of the corridor, saying calmly:
"A reminder: there are strange things happening in the space starting from here. If you don't follow me closely, be careful and take good care of yourself."
The corners of the Great Elder's mouth twitched, and he silently repeated to himself several times, "Don't be angry, don't be angry." The little girl was ignorant and he didn't want to argue with her. Then he looked at the others and followed them.
However, he found that Yun Qingqing, who had just taken a few steps, had disappeared!
Several people chased for a long time, but could not find any trace of the little girl.
Several elders: ...
Could it be that this little girl is deliberately playing tricks on them?
Just as this thought came to mind, I suddenly heard the Seventh Elder speak from behind me:
"Where are the people?"
The Seventh Elder has always been the type who is very frugal with words and will not speak unless it is absolutely necessary.
The Great Elder looked back suddenly, his eyelids twitching immediately.
Except for the Seventh Elder who was following closely behind him, the others had disappeared!
