Chapter 198: Chu He Whose Dao Heart Has Collapsed (Seeking Monthly Votes)
Above the enormous island, the entrance to the secret realm.
At this moment, numerous elders of the Cultivators Alliance had arrived at the entrance of the secret realm.
Among them, Wu Yue had also arrived, setting aside other matters concerning lesser secret realms.
One of the minor secret realms had slipped from his control; if anything went wrong, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
The other elders who had come felt the same way.
They were all tied to the Cultivators Alliance; if the Alliance fell, their fates would be no better.
This left them with no choice but to be anxious.
Arriving at the entrance of the secret realm, they did not know what to do.
It certainly wouldn't do to simply break in directly.
If it were just any ordinary disciple from the Holy Land, that might be fine.
But inside were disciples of the Wayless Sect from the East State Hidden Sect...
"Alliance Master, what do you think we should do? If there really is trouble inside, we're going to have a big problem!"
"How did the connection get severed? Who was watching over that secret realm just now? What exactly is happening inside?"
"I was watching it. A disciple from the Wayless Sect used some sort of spell, and golden patterns appeared, and then the secret realm escaped our control."
"Which Holy Land did we buy these secret realms from? I vaguely remember, the Holy Land that sold us the minor secret realms said that if one failed, they'd compensate us with ten new minor secret realms, right?"
"Is now the time to discuss this???"
The elders were all discussing possible solutions.
Wu Yue stood at the entrance of the secret realm, his expression complicated, unsure of what to do.
He looked around.
When he saw Ye Luo and the other two standing by the side, his eyes lit up.
He couldn't force his way into the secret realm.
But it should be fine to let these three go in, right?
Upon this thought, Wu Yue hurriedly ran over to them.
"Fellow Daoists, some uncontrollable events have occurred in the secret realm where your junior sister resides, causing it to lose connection. It's not good for me to forcefully break into the realm. Could I ask the three of you to lend a hand?"
Wu Yue walked up to them with a fawning face and inquired.
Upon hearing these words,
Ye Luo and the others, who were sitting in meditation waiting for Dantai Luoxue to return, looked at each other and shook their heads.
Ye Luo and Zhang Han clearly had no intention of responding.
Left without a choice, Su Qianyuan stood up.
"Alliance Master Wu, rest assured, my junior sister isn't one to act recklessly. Let's wait a little longer; there's definitely nothing wrong inside," Su Qianyuan said.
It's a matter of familiarity with one's own people.
Although they hadn't spent a long time with Dantai Luoxue, they were able to discern her temperament.
Dantai Luoxue was not a bloodthirsty person.
As for why the secret realm's connection was severed,
it was probably related to some special technique used by Dantai Luoxue.
The disciples of the Wayless Sect each cultivated their own distinct paths, and everyone was different.
The three of them were easy to talk about; they had sparred with one another.
But they had never sparred with Dantai Luoxue,
so they were unaware of her techniques.
Yet they had a rough guess that it must be connected with Dantai Luoxue's own path.
"Is it really okay??" Wu Yue asked, somewhat skeptical.
"Rest assured, it's definitely fine. If there's any trouble, my Respected Master will handle it for you. Just put your mind at ease," Su Qianyuan waved his hand and said.
"Really? If something goes wrong, will Senior Chu take the responsibility?" Wu Yue asked eagerly with bright eyes.
"Of course. If my junior sister really causes any trouble, my Respected Master will definitely take action," Su Qianyuan asserted confidently.
"Oh, oh, that's good," Wu Yue sighed with relief.
After speaking,
he turned around and walked back to the entrance of the secret realm, facing the gathered elders with a more relaxed expression.
"It's fine, it's fine, if there really was trouble, Senior Chu would have intervened, and it wouldn't have spilled over to us. Let's pull back, those who want to stay and watch the show can stay."
Wu Yue waved his hand.
And had all the Elders who had gathered around disperse.
The other Elders, upon hearing this and knowing that Chu Yuan would stand against any mishap, relaxed one by one.
If the sky were to fall, they had someone tall to stand against it; as long as it didn't affect them, that was enough.
They were reassured.
The Elders were no longer in a hurry, and each stayed put, wanting to wait for Dantai Luo Xue and Chu He to emerge from the Secret Realm to see what the situation was.
Everyone was waiting.
Tens of minutes passed.
Finally, there was a stir within the small, isolated Secret Realm.
The entrance of the Secret Realm surged with a flash of light.
One figure emerged first.
It was Chu He.
At this moment, Chu He's complexion was pale, his eyes bloodshot, filled with a kind of madness.
On the brink of a Dao heart collapse!
Everyone was startled to see Chu He.
So, did Dantai Luo Xue win this battle?
But even if she won, why did it seem like Chu He was on the verge of a Dao heart collapse??
Could it be that his Dao heart has been shattered??
That was terrifying.
The first to spar with a Disciple of Wayless Sect was defeated in seconds.
The second one, faced with a barrage of Formations, surrendered outright in fear.
The third was nearly killed by a single punch.
And this fourth one, had his Dao heart shattered directly? Was it too much?
Even Ye Luo and others were slightly taken aback.
It couldn't be that their junior sister really shattered his Dao heart.
Chu He, who had stepped out, paid no attention to the people present.
The moment he walked out, he pulled out a Talisman Paper from his waist and began chanting a spell.
The Talisman Paper in his hand turned into a streak of firelight, soaring into the sky, illuminating half of the heavens before slowly dissipating.
"I'm not done for, I'm not done for..."
Chu He murmured softly to himself.
Excitement showed in his eyes.
Heaven knows what he had endured during those minutes inside the small Secret Realm.
After Dantai Luo Xue had set up her Chessboard, facing her was like facing a whole world.
In the face of such a vast universe, Chu He felt incredibly insignificant, making it impossible for him to even attack Dantai Luo Xue.
When he mustered up the courage to attack Dantai Luo Xue, he found that within that Chessboard, his Talisman Technique was utterly useless, as if suppressed by the forces of heaven and earth.
Those minutes spent fighting had Chu He's Dao heart nearly crumbling.
It was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation.
Apart from feeling small in front of Dantai Luo Xue, there was a greater doubt in his own Talisman Technique. She hadn't even moved, and his Talisman Technique had already been defeated; that was the key to the collapse of his Dao heart.
After stepping out of the Secret Realm, his Talisman Technique became effective again, which slightly stabilized his Dao heart that was on the edge of collapsing.
But it was still far from okay.
At least...
Chu He no longer wanted to cultivate the Talisman Technique.
"Respected Master, I want to switch to a different path..."
Chu He's figure soared into the sky directly, without any intention to greet Wu Yue.
After Chu He had left.
There was another surge at the entrance of the Secret Realm.
Dantai Luo Xue slowly walked out.
As soon as she emerged.
All eyes on the field were fixated on her.
"Why are you all looking at me?"
Dantai Luo Xue's brows furrowed in confusion and she said...
