Chapter 222
In a cave dwelling within Ziwei Holy Land.
An elderly man with white hair and beard, exuding an immortal aura, sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his eyes closed as if deeply immersed in cultivation.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a streak of bloody light materialized out of thin air and landed before him.
“Hmm? The Blood God Shuttle?”
The old man abruptly opened his eyes, grabbing the Blood God Shuttle to examine it carefully. His brows then furrowed. “This is…”
“Master, we disciples…”
A familiar voice emerged from within.
Upon hearing these words, the old man shot to his feet.
“The Holy Court! How dare they?!”
Shocked and unsettled, he took a deep breath and muttered, “No, this matter is far too serious. I must discuss it with the Holy Master…”
“But Mingdao and the others are in grave danger. If we don’t act swiftly, the younger generation of our Holy forces may all perish!”
“What to do, what to do…”
In an instant, the old man made his decision. His gaze hardened, and then his figure vanished into the void.
Inside the trial grounds.
The rogue cultivators continued their relentless assault on the formation.
As the barrier grew increasingly fragile, the rogue cultivators grew ecstatic.
“Brothers, push harder! They can’t hold on much longer!”
“Hahaha! Kill!”
The battle cries shook the heavens.
Everyone present was brimming with excitement.
“It’s over! The formation is about to break!”
“Senior Brother Qi, why hasn’t your master arrived yet?”
“Soon…”
Qi Mingdao clenched his fists, his forehead already drenched in sweat.
Whether his master would risk angering the Holy Court to save him—he couldn’t be sure. But if he wanted to survive, this was the only gamble he could take.
“It’s broken!”
“Brothers, charge in!”
Amid the frenzied roars of the rogue cultivators, another violent ripple exploded outward.
The formation barrier shattered completely, sending dazzling rays of light soaring into the sky.
“We’re finished!”
“We’re doomed!”
The disciples of the sacred land families all looked ashen-faced.
However.
At that very moment.
Buzz!
A deafening collision resounded from the heavens, as if the world itself was shaking.
The air rippled violently.
Mysterious and dazzling runes suddenly lit up, and an immense, majestic holy aura instantly filled the surroundings.
“What’s happening!?”
Everyone’s hearts trembled in shock, and they looked up in horror.
Immediately after, a spear tip, ancient in design and glowing with a deep blue hue, emerged from the void.
Clang~!
The spear tip seemed to collide with something extremely hard, producing a piercing sound.
The void trembled, as if resisting the spear’s breakthrough.
“This treasure… it’s Master’s Profound Water Piercing Divine Spear! We’re saved!”
Even Qi Mingdao, who was usually composed, couldn’t help but be overjoyed at the sight and shouted loudly.
“A Saint! The Saint from the Ziwei Sacred Land has come to save us!”
“Great! The Saint has truly come! We’re saved!”
The disciples of the sacred land families were ecstatic.
Countless people looked up to the sky, where the spear hovered in mid-air, exuding an overwhelming holy aura that filled the heavens, yet only half of the spear tip was visible.
Though it was just a fragment of the spear tip, it still possessed a pressure capable of annihilating everything!
Everyone present immediately felt suffocated, as if even breathing had become a luxury.
But even with the Saint wielding a holy treasure, it was still difficult to forcibly break through the blockade of the Sky Patrol Mirror, which had no one controlling it.
“The supreme treasure lives up to its reputation!”
A hoarse voice echoed from the heavens.
“Master! What should we do?”
Qi Mingdao shouted towards the sky.
“Do not panic, my disciple. Wait for me to open a void passage and take you away!”
As the words fell.
Buzz~!
The void trembled, and a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared!
The deep blue spear tip in the heavens suddenly shot out a dazzling golden light.
This golden light pierced through the nine heavens, as if tearing through layers of mist.
In the next moment, to the astonishment of everyone watching, a deep and profound void passage slowly revealed itself, as if connecting to another world.
“Hurry, I can’t maintain this passage for long!”
An urgent voice urged from the heavens.
Though they didn’t understand why the Saint didn’t eliminate all the rogue cultivators, the situation was critical, and there was no time to ask.
“Let’s go!”
With a wave of his hand, Qi Mingdao leaped into the air and flew towards the void passage.
The other rogue cultivators, suppressed by the overwhelming holy aura, were unable to move and could only watch helplessly as the disciples of the sacred land families departed.
Meanwhile.
In a certain hall of the Holy Academy.
A woman sat cross-legged on a jade bed, her eyes closed in meditation. Her skin was fair, her beauty striking, and her demeanor elegant and serene, like an immortal descended to the mortal world, making one hold their breath in awe.
Suddenly, the woman’s eyes snapped open, her gaze sharp and penetrating, as if it could pierce through all things.
“The Sky Patrol Mirror is malfunctioning! Someone is attacking the secret realm!”
She exclaimed in a low voice, then quickly stood up and pushed the door open.
Outside the hall, the Seventeen Water Spirit King had been waiting for some time. Seeing the Chief emerge, he immediately stepped forward.
“Chief Mu! The trial has encountered trouble! King Yuanying…”
Chief Mu interrupted, “I already know about the situation. I’m heading to the trial site now. Since you’re aware of the details, come with me!”
“Yes!”
Hearing this, the Water Spirit King nodded in agreement.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two transformed into streaks of light and disappeared in an instant.
…
Inside the trial grounds.
Disciples from the sacred land families were fleeing in all directions.
The rest were suppressed by the sacred aura.
Lin Wanqiu looked towards Lin Tianyang and the others.
“Are you all leaving as well?”
Lin Tianyang nodded and said, “We all belong to the sacred land families, interconnected like branches of the same tree. Although our ways of doing things may differ, if we don’t leave now, we might get caught up in it when the big figures from the Holy Academy arrive.”
And if they simply left, even the Holy Academy wouldn’t be able to chase them down in the territories of the various sacred land families.
“Take care on your journey!”
“Wanqiu, I’ll be waiting for you to visit me in Yangzhou. Remember, it’s East Yangzhou!”
Lin Wanqiu nodded. After some time, she had learned that the Lin family in Yangzhou had now split into two factions, East and West Yangzhou, and Lin Tianyang belonged to East Yangzhou.
Through her conversations with Lin Tianyang and some indirect probing, she had gained some insight into her own origins.
“Miss Ye, if you have time in the future, please come to Dongling. As long as you can help cure my sister’s illness, I am willing to pay any price!”
Su Changge spoke with a pleading expression, bowing as he did so.
“Brother Su, you exaggerate. If I can help, I will certainly do my best.”
After understanding the situation, Ye Ruoshui no longer refused Su Changge’s request.
Su Changge’s sister, Su Miaomiao, had a unique constitution that required nurturing with innate fire and consuming a large amount of fire-attribute innate treasures to cure.
Although Su Changge had already made a name for himself within the Su family, he and his sister were originally marginal figures in the Su family. It was unlikely that the Su family would spend a large amount of resources to save a girl with little future.
Ye Ruoshui agreed to Su Changge’s request also to help Xiao Minghuang forge a good relationship.
