Chapter 173 Oh ho
The Yin and Yang energies filled the entire hall, creating an atmosphere of isolation. Mu Jianjian endured the oppressive force, but after struggling to open her eyes and see the scene before her, she realized that the two were from the same sect.
So, is it possible to...?
Was the tragic accident that occurred in the Xuanmen sect in the past life due to an internal traitor?
Ye Xuanzhi, who was in the formation, noticed that the barrier had been destroyed. The familiar aura made him relax his vigilance instantly. He looked down and saw the girl about to approach. He shouted.
"Jianjian, get out of there quickly!"
What's wrong?
Is there anything unusual about this place?
Before Mu Jianjian could get up, she felt an enormous object pressing down on her body, making her unable to move.
"Who is she?" The woman formed a divination stick with one hand, a smile appearing on her face as she looked at Mu Jianjian.
"Murong Yunyan, this is our business, it has nothing to do with her!" Ye Xuanzhi said urgently.
“There’s no distinction between ‘us’ and ‘you,’ can’t you see? We’ve been on opposite sides for a long time.” Murong Yunyan stuck her fingers into the turntable, fiddling with the pointer inside, making a “squeak, squeak” sound.
The barrier had been broken, and the separation between the inside and outside had disappeared. She coldly observed the bloody scene in the courtyard, her expression unchanged. "What a pity."
Murong Yunyan didn't care about Jin Fuzhen's life or death, but she had some difficulties explaining and dealing with the Jinwu Temple, which would affect the transaction between the two parties.
However, it wouldn't be impossible to capture the woman in front of us and bring her back...
Once she had made up her mind, Murong Yunyan glanced at Ye Xuanzhi, whose hand was crippled, and then flashed in front of Mu Jianjian, who was unable to move!
Just as Ye Xuanzhi was about to condense another talisman, he discovered that Murong Yunyan, who should have been outside, had appeared in front of him!
It turns out that her goal from beginning to end was him!
"Ye Xuanzhi, you've already formed a formation around her, how can you protect yourself?" Murong Yunyan's hand slowly touched Ye Xuanzhi's chest. "Don't worry, out of respect for the Xuanmen's nurturing and guidance, I won't kill you."
Just before her hand was about to touch it, a young girl appeared in front of her and used her true energy to block Murong Yunyan's body!
Mu Jianjian looked disgusted. "Get out of my way!"
How did she manage to break free?
Murong Yunyan frowned slightly and finally began to seriously examine the girl in front of her.
His clothes were tattered and stained with blood, his hair was disheveled, and his face even had several streaks of dried blood that made his features unrecognizable.
It was obvious at a glance that he had been through a fierce battle, yet he managed to break free from her magic array.
After preparing for the other party's attack, he didn't expect the girl to turn around and grab Ye Xuanzhi's collar.
"Ye Xuanzhi, what's wrong with you! Wake up! We're fighting, don't sleep!" Mu Jianjian roared at Ye Xuanzhi, who was clearly out of it and lost in thought.
"If I hadn't formed the array for you, you would have died! Why are you blaming me?" Ye Xuanzhi grabbed his collar, his temper rising as he saw the other's unfriendly tone.
"Damn it! I wouldn't be dead without your lousy formation, okay?"
"..."
Murong Yunyan: ?
Why did the two of them... argue behind her back?
But this suits her just fine!
“The Five Contemplations of the Profound Dharma: Cessation and Contemplation.” As she uttered the last word, the two who had been arguing suddenly looked at her, speaking in a language she couldn’t understand.
"See, I knew she wouldn't find out this way." Mu Jianjian withdrew her fist that was swinging at Ye Xuanzhi and looked calmly at the person opposite her.
"Your brother's reaction speed," Ye Xuanzhi said smugly, "need I say more?"
What?
Murong Yunyan was taken aback. She looked down and carefully examined the various arrays of profound magic formations laid out on the ground, beginning to search for the problem.
She should have used her "Five Thoughts" technique, so why wasn't the other party affected?
Wait a minute, was that girl who came over and blocked Ye Xuanzhi's way of setting up an array to buy him time?
They deliberately started arguing to make her think they were relaxing their guard due to internal strife, but in reality, they were waiting for her there!
“Murong Yunyan, you are already in my formation. If you tell me the reason, I can still—” Although Ye Xuanzhi had the upper hand, there was no hint of smugness in his tone. He lowered his eyes and said.
"Are you worthy?" Murong Yunyan slowly uttered three words, mocking, "You are not worthy of the Xuanmen's top-grade resources at all. The way you just set up this killing formation, I'm afraid you were using the magic weapon given to you by the sect leader, right?"
"Pah, pah, pah! Do you think you're worthy!" Mu Jianjian panicked when it came to matters concerning her friend. She crossed her arms and said, "I saw it clearly just now. Ye Xuanzhi formed the array with one hand!"
Murong Yunyan scoffed, glancing at Ye Xuanzhi, whose face was pale, and didn't believe Mu Jianjian's words. "This formation might have been able to trap me before, but it's impossible now."
A single-handed formation?
Forming an array with one hand is incredibly difficult; only the sect leader of the entire Xuanmen sect can do it. How could a young master who spends his days wandering the lower realms with magical artifacts possibly do it?
After she finished speaking, Murong Yunyan's cultivation, which had been suppressed to the low stage of Core Formation, suddenly surged and was forced to the Nascent Soul stage!
"You used 'Manluo'?" Ye Xuanzhi asked incredulously. "Murong Yunyan, are you crazy! If you use 'Manluo' for a long time, it will wear down your Dao heart and change your meridians!"
During this brief moment, Mu Jianjian, looking at the extremely nervous Ye Xuanzhi, finally realized something was wrong. "Who is she to you?"
"She is my senior sister from the same lineage. When I was rejecting the mortal realm and being looked down upon by my fellow disciples... she was always the one who encouraged me."
Oh ho.
Mu Jianjian thought to herself that it was too melodramatic, but she knew that now was not the time to gossip. She immediately summoned the Yellow Spring Water to wrap herself up and add the first layer of defense to herself.
"Anything is worth it if it's for becoming stronger." Murong Yunyan raised her hand to meet Ye Xuanzhi's retort.
Is it really worth it?
Just as Murong Yunyan was witnessing Ye Xuanzhi's gradual defeat, she heard these words.
who?
Murong Yunyan's heart skipped a beat, and she saw water droplets gathering in front of her.
Was the water summoned by Ye Xuanzhi using a water array?
She was disdainful and was about to casually wave away the water droplets with her inner energy, but unexpectedly, the water droplets gathered larger and larger, wrapping around her body!
On the dim, yellowish water, the lingering, wailing souls appeared, emitting faint, mournful cries.
Although she poses no threat to him, she is very persistent.
Murong Yunyan looked up at the girl on the ground who was looking up at her with sweat dripping from her forehead. "I underestimated you."
Her cultivation level has reached the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage due to the forced advancement, yet this Foundation Establishment ant from the lower realm can still interfere?
Mu Jianjian's messy hair concealed her expression, but upon closer inspection, one could easily see that her entire body was trembling.
This was the first time she had ever truly encountered a Nascent Soul!
Although it would be difficult for her to intervene in the battle with her cultivation level, Mu Jianjian never wanted to see the situation like what had happened in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm again.
【Host... are you really alright?】The system glanced at the pine and cypress trees in the space that had been stripped bare again, and felt worried.
