Xu Yuehuai's gaze darted back and forth between the two. Their relationship was definitely not ordinary. At first, she thought they were enemies, but now it seemed their relationship was more like that of mortal adversaries.
After Ji Yue arrived, Cixi, who had been quiet, started chattering again, "Hey, you were so cool yesterday! You have to teach me how to be that awesome sometime."
"Go ahead and try to learn. You could study for over ten years and still not learn it. Do you think you can compare to her?" Ji Yue was very unhappy with his words. She felt that her relationship with Xu Yuehuai was better than that between Cixi and Xu Yuehuai.
Cixi naturally noticed this as well, and these words were said intentionally for her to hear.
Xu Yuehuai ignored their verbal sparring.
Before long, Yueying walked to Xu Yuehuai's side. "Miss, the tomb is about to open. We are all strong enough to join forces and break through this barrier in one fell swoop, how about it?"
The four guardians surrounding Yueying were somewhat surprised. Their young master had never spoken to any woman before, and his attitude was so respectful and even patient.
Xu Yuehuai thought about it for a while. It was indeed not easy for her to do this alone, but if she worked with Yueying, it might be much easier.
Seeing that many people around them were starting to form cliques and wanted to go in together.
Because the moment the barrier breaks, everyone will be sucked in first. People who are close together will most likely end up together. If your teammates who work with you to break the barrier are also very strong, the operation will be much easier.
During the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, many people came to invite Xu Yuehuai.
Her abilities are evident to all.
Ji Yue didn't know what had happened yesterday. Seeing so many people coming over to ask, she was puzzled. "Why do they all want to be with you? Do you have some kind of treasure?"
Ji Yue was just curious and had no other intentions.
Cixi, standing to the side with a smug look on her face, immediately replied to her, telling her everything Xu Yuehuai had done yesterday, which shocked Ji Yue.
She considered herself somewhat familiar with Xu Yuehuai, but didn't know the extent of Xu Yuehuai's abilities.
...
An hour passed, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to fluctuate. Yueying, accompanied by four guardians, was the first to reach Xu Yuehuai's side. Seeing the barrier begin to ripple, a young man channeled spiritual energy into it, shouting, "Everyone, hurry! We need to break this barrier within two quarters of an hour!"
At this moment, the crowd stopped their factional fighting and instead rushed forward to pour their spiritual energy into the barrier, hoping to break it together. Receiving so much spiritual energy, the barrier began to fluctuate violently. Xu Yuehuai, Yueying, and the others didn't move initially, but stood in place to observe. When they saw the barrier's unusual movement, everyone assumed their efforts had paid off.
"Everyone, give it your all! The barrier is about to break!" The young man who had started the conversation encouraged everyone upon seeing the situation.
"Don't move! This barrier isn't opened like that at all, you foolish humans!" A voice suddenly appeared in Xu Yuehuai's mind. She recognized it as the voice of the divine beast Bai Ze.
Xu Yuehuai looked around and spotted Bai Ze in a secluded spot. Bai Ze had completely concealed his aura and was looking at Xu Yuehuai with resentment, clearly treating Xu Yuehuai as a villain who had abandoned him.
"Why?" Xu Yuehuai replied telepathically.
Bai Ze's tone was somewhat disdainful, "Because this is not the tomb of a powerful being at all. It is the tomb of an evil cultivator, sealed here. The barrier you mentioned is the first layer of that seal."
A dangerous glint flashed in Xu Yuehuai's eyes.
Yueying had no idea what had happened to Xu Yuehuai in those few minutes. Seeing that the first group of people who went forward were starting to give up, he said to Xu Yuehuai, "Miss, are you ready? It's our turn."
Xu Yuehuai spoke up, "Wait a minute."
Yueying was puzzled, but she stopped and patiently waited for her to continue.
Cixi and Jiyue were both on her side, and since she didn't go up, they naturally didn't move either.
"This barrier cannot be opened. You are not a tomb of powerful beings, but a tomb of evil cultivators sealed here by many predecessors!" Xu Yuehuai probably understood why such an important opportunity had spread so far. It turned out that this was a conspiracy from beginning to end.
Upon hearing this, Yueying did not immediately refute her, but continued to press, "What evidence do you have for what you say, young lady?"
"No." Xu Yuehuai shook her head; she felt that Bai Ze wouldn't lie to her.
Seeing that the human actually listened to him and didn't step forward, Bai Ze thought smugly to himself: This human does have some sense, otherwise he would be waiting to die.
Yueying was taken aback, not expecting Xu Yuehuai to admit it so readily.
The person who had run out of spiritual energy came down to rest. When he saw that they hadn't gone to break the barrier yet, he walked over to them. Upon hearing Xu Yuehuai's words, the person's eyes flashed with a sinister look, "I said, what are you waiting for here instead of going to break the barrier?"
"Could it be that you want us to break through and then reap the benefits?" The man didn't believe Xu Yuehuai's nonsense.
Xu Yuehua frowned, trying to figure out how to dissuade everyone. She wasn't a saint, but there was no reason for her to watch so many people die in front of her.
Several of them had shown kindness to me.
Everyone comes here simply to make progress, to seek opportunities, to improve their skills, and to live a better life in this world.
"Everyone, stop! This barrier can't be broken! This isn't some powerful being's tomb at all. It's a heretical cultivator. His goal is to lure you all in and make you his nourishment," Xu Yuehuai said to the crowd. All she needed to do was deliver the message; whether anyone believed her was their own business.
After Xu Yuehuai finished speaking, she wanted to leave to avoid being implicated.
Yueying looked at Xu Yuehuai, "How did you know about this?"
Clearly, after Xu Yuehuai finished speaking, Yueying had the four guardians carefully examine the barrier and indeed found something amiss.
The tone was more like it was absorbing everyone's spiritual power than a barrier.
The idea is that everyone outside will use up all their spiritual energy, so that the evil cultivators inside can do whatever they want.
Bai Ze came down to repay a debt of gratitude. He knew something big was happening nearby, and he thought of the girl who had saved him. He felt that good people shouldn't die, just like good spirit beasts shouldn't die for no reason.
She was about to leave after delivering the message, but when she heard that the human had told everyone else, she was furious.
Because Bai Ze felt that this woman was too kind-hearted, he stopped to see if she would be attacked by the crowd!
