"Hehe, how does Third Master Feng manage to make such confident statements every time, only to run away in such a sorry state every time?"
Ji Jiuying sneered.
Upon hearing Feng Luo's words, Xin Yao turned around abruptly. Feng Luo called the woman in red her niece? In other words, she was the person the Feng family wanted to capture, and the person she wanted to kill! Her eyes were filled with disbelief mixed with murderous intent.
Since she's here, is His Majesty here too? The thought of the two of them being all lovey-dovey in the mortal realm made Xin Yao's heart ache as if it were being cut by a knife.
Why hasn't the Venerable One appeared here for two days? The Feng family has come to arrest her, but he hasn't shown up. It seems the Venerable One doesn't care about this woman that much, Xin Yao comforted herself.
But the murderous intent in her eyes shot fiercely towards Ji Jiuying.
"Heh, quick-witted." Feng Luo didn't take it seriously, but he felt inexplicably annoyed when he heard her call him Third Master Feng.
Ji Jiuying rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to waste her breath arguing with him.
Perhaps it was because Xin Yao's gaze was too obvious, Ji Jiuying's cold eyes met hers immediately. She was slightly taken aback, and her originally cold phoenix eyes were now filled with undisguised killing intent.
Suddenly, she understood why Xin Yao harbored such murderous intent towards her.
Ji Jiuying sneered inwardly; so it was aimed at her.
Just then, a crisp snapping sound reached everyone's ears.
It was like a giant bomb exploding in the crowd.
Shen Qingqiu and the others felt a chill in their hearts and went on high alert.
The crowd surged and the noise rose. The impatience on everyone's faces vanished instantly, and they all looked at Xin Yao with joy. After waiting for more than two days, was it finally going to be solved?
Ji Jiuying clasped her hands together and activated the array she had set up, which covered the inner perimeter of Star Academy.
Meanwhile, Qingling, hidden in the shadows, had also made all the necessary preparations.
Bang!
The entire earth shook, and that seemingly impenetrable array vanished instantly.
Xin Yao put away the spiritual treasure in her hand, glanced at Feng Luo and the others, and flew into the Star Academy. Feng Luo and Feng Yan hurriedly followed behind her. The spiritual cultivators from all over the world rushed into the Star Academy.
Once they had steadied themselves, Shen Qingqiu and the others, who had been nearby, had vanished. The scene before them instantly changed, with mountains surrounding them and several magnificent palaces nestled among them. Clouds and mist continued to surge towards them, making them feel as if they were in a fairyland.
Xin Yao frowned slightly, stopped, and looked around at her surroundings. She sneered inwardly, "Another formation."
Feng Luo and Feng Yan also noticed that something was wrong.
"Wow, is this what Star Academy really looks like?"
"No wonder so many people are willing to risk their lives to get into Star Academy."
"That tall tower over there must be the famous training tower of Star Academy."
"Whatever tower it is, our goal is to find the artifact."
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
"What are we waiting for? Charge!"
Countless spiritual cultivators flew forward, but after an incense stick's time, they returned to their original positions.
"How did we end up back here? What's going on?"
Xin Yao glanced at the crowd with disdain. "What a bunch of useless trash. They don't even know they're in an illusion, yet they dare to dream of finding a divine artifact. What wishful thinking!"
The crowd's faces darkened, but they dared not refute anything. They could only let Xin Yao humiliate them, even if it meant trampling their self-esteem into the mud. They could only swallow their anger.
"Hmph, you think a little illusion can stop this fairy?"
Just as Xin Yao was about to cast a spell to break the illusion, countless spirit butterflies surged out of the illusion. The seemingly harmless spirit butterflies were as sharp as blades, and screams of agony followed one after another.
Xin Yao's expression turned cold. With these spirit butterflies blocking her view, she had no way to break the illusion.
A spiritual sword materialized in her hand, which she used to continuously slash at the swarming spirit butterflies. However, the spirit butterflies seemed endless, and an impatient look appeared on Xin Yao's face.
He conjured a fireball in his hand, and the fireball grew larger and larger above, so that the spirit butterfly dared not approach it even a fraction of an inch.
The spiritual cultivators also noticed this, but the aura emanating from the fire prevented them from getting any closer. Those with lower cultivation levels felt their souls burning unbearably if they approached even slightly. However, some with higher cultivation levels mustered their courage and quietly moved closer to Xin Yao. Xin Yao glanced at them out of the corner of her eye, and those people stopped in their tracks, not daring to get any closer.
Feng Luo and Feng Yan exchanged a glance. What Xin Yao had condensed in her hand was actually the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, which ranked third among divine flames.
Xin Yao's lips curled slightly, and with a wave of her slender hand, a huge fireball struck the spirit butterflies. Countless spirit butterflies fled in panic and instantly disappeared into the illusion.
Qingling, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. Ziyu appeared behind her and handed her a handkerchief. "Are you alright?"
Qingling shook her head. This was a task given to her by her mistress, and she would certainly not let her down. She thanked her and took a handkerchief to wipe the blood from her mouth.
Everyone was shocked once again. Just who was this Fairy Xin Yao?
Among the crowd, some patriarchs from various families squinted at Xin Yao. Those who had reached their level of cultivation vaguely knew that after breaking through to the Spirit Venerable realm, one could ascend to the Upper Realm, and the Cangming Continent was merely a small part of the Three Thousand Worlds.
They suspected that the person who had been befriended by Fairy Xin Yao might come from another world, and the two unfathomable men were probably the same.
If a fight breaks out, they definitely won't win. What they need to do now is keep a low profile and catch the enemy off guard when they find the artifact.
Everyone in the crowd has their own agenda; there are too many wolves and not enough meat, making the competition fierce.
When faced with temptation, everyone around you could be a backstabber.
"Clang!"
The ethereal sound of the zither resounded in the illusion, clear as heavenly music and vast as distant mountains. Everything around seemed to be frozen by the beautiful music, and everyone listened and involuntarily lowered their guard.
The music seemed to possess some kind of magic, constantly cleansing the souls of everyone present, while also stirring up the evil thoughts deep within their hearts.
“Zheng”.
The music intensified, like war drums on a battlefield, shaking everyone's hearts. The evil thoughts stirred within them were about to erupt, their eyes turned bloodshot, and they drew their weapons, hacking wildly at those around them.
The illusion was like a fierce battlefield, filled with constant wails of agony.
Xin Yao channeled her spiritual energy to protect herself, calmly searching for the source of the music.
Feng Luo and Feng Yan both channeled their spiritual energy while searching for the source of the zither music.
Feng Luo narrowed his eyes, his cold and sinister pupils locking onto a certain direction. A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth. Qing Ling immediately felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were being stared at by a vicious wolf.
Nevertheless, she showed no sign of stopping her work.
Feng Luo and Feng Yan exchanged a glance, gathered their strength, and unleashed a powerful spiritual attack that broke through the illusion mirror and struck Qing Ling directly.
