Chapter 181: The person before me is simply not human.
"And what about you two?" Xu An then looked toward Wen Zhixing and Bai Luqiu.
"There are still a few disciples from the Righteous Sun Sect inside the Wonderous Palace. We'll rescue them before we leave. Conveniently, Martial Uncle can help us draw some fire," Bai Luqiu said with a faint smile.
"Nonsense!" Shi Yan immediately frowned and rebuked in a low voice, "You two come with us. As for those disciples, we will find a way to save them later."
Compared to ordinary disciples, Bai Luqiu and Wang Shouzhen were obviously much more important. Xu An and Shi Yan would not allow them to take such risks. If they were captured again, it might cost an even greater price to rescue them.
"Martial Uncles, rest assured. I have already broken through to the Sixth Realm, and Junior Brother Wang's cultivation is no weaker than mine," Bai Luqiu said with a smile, understanding Xu An and Shi Yan's concerns.
Spiritual light then bloomed from his body, and a terrifying aura surged. Radiant, dream-like light enveloped his figure, exquisitely beautiful yet overwhelmingly powerful.
Wen Zhixing, however, showed nothing, merely standing calmly by Bai Luqiu's side. The terrifying pressure seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.
"You've broken through?" Xu An and Shi Yan felt this aura and were deeply shaken.
So strong... This aura is already on par with ours. And Bai Luqiu has only just broken through. The Sixth Realm... This...
Xu An and Shi Yan couldn't help but exchange a glance. They had heard too much surprising news today.
What is wrong with these people? It's one thing for Mu Yunqing to be such a prodigy. But how are Bai Luqiu and Wang Shouzhen, one after another, so incredibly strong? The younger generation is practically grinding the older generation's faces into the dirt.
"Time is of the essence, Martial Uncles. The stage is yours now," Wen Zhixing said, cupping his hands with another smile. He then turned to Bai Luqiu and said, "Let's go."
"Okay." Bai Luqiu nodded. The two exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, quickly headed into the Wonderous Palace. Since Mu Yunqing had already arrived, they needed to hurry and rescue the others.
Wen Zhixing's eyes narrowed. This time, he wanted to watch Mu Yunqing and Si Nanyan tear each other apart. It would be best if they both suffered heavy losses, then he could just swoop in and clean up. That would be perfect.
Liu Qingdai watched Wen Zhixing and Bai Luqiu's departing figures until they completely disappeared into the darkness. Only then did she slowly step forward and say, "Elder Xu, let's go."
"Alright. Elder Shi, I'll leave it to you to draw their fire," Xu An said, looking at Shi Yan. He then moved to Liu Qingdai's side and said, "Qingdai, let's go."
Instantly, a flying boat appeared beneath their feet. The vessel resembled a single reed, its entire body shimmering with radiant light. This was Xu An's flying Spiritual Instrument, renowned for its incredible speed.
The two of them boarded the flying boat, which transformed into a streak of aurora in the night sky, speeding off into the distance.
In an instant, alarms blared throughout the Wonderous Palace. The Warning Array began to flash incessantly.
BUZZ!
Everyone's sect token vibrated. This was an alert triggered by the Alert Array.
"They've finally made their move!" Down below, Mu Yunqing's face lit up with joy. He had clearly sent a message earlier, but Xu An and Shi Yan had delayed their actions. He was on the verge of losing patience and sending another message to urge them on. Fortunately, they had now finally taken action.
"It's time to move," Mu Yunqing said with a faint smile, striding forward.
Ahead of him was a young lady's chamber, exuding a delicate fragrance. Inside, people were engaged in a vigorous sparring match.
Intense Devil Qi surfaced in Mu Yunqing's eyes. He couldn't be bothered to search place by place; he would use a secret skill to locate them directly.
BOOM!
At the same moment, a hearty laugh rang out above the Wonderous Palace.
A massive divine soul phantom materialized in the sky. With long, flowing hair and an inherently imposing aura, the phantom was the spitting image of Shi Yan. Mysterious patterns flowed across the divine soul, emitting an aura that sent shivers down spines.
Tremendous pressure swept across the entire Wonderous Palace.
"Enemy attack!" someone cried out in horror.
SPURT!
At that moment, many within the Wonderous Palace spat out blood, their auras weakening. This pressure felt like a thousand-pound weight, pinning them down and rendering them immobile. Most had only just managed to recover somewhat from their previous injuries, and this new assault wounded them severely once more.
When a cultivator reached the Sixth Realm, their divine soul was already cultivated to its limit. For them, simply projecting their divine soul and unleashing its might was a lethal blow to ordinary cultivators.
"Shi Yan!"
Inside the Wonderous Palace dungeon, Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli shot to their feet. Having fought him multiple times, they immediately recognized the newcomer's aura.
"Damn it!" Both Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli wore ferocious expressions. Neither had expected Shi Yan to attack again.
"He's truly courting death!" A murderous glint flashed in Feng Ruoli's beautiful eyes. For a Sixth Realm cultivator to strike in such a manner was simply against all martial ethics. The Righteous Sun Sect was proving to be even more shameless than those of the devil path. The Wonderous Palace was likely to suffer devastating losses again.
"Senior Sister, calm down! Shi Yan must be acting under Mu Yunqing's orders!" Si Nanyan, however, forcefully suppressed the rage boiling within her. She was remarkably calm now, her intelligence soaring beyond her beauty, taking the high ground!
She had initially thought Mu Yunqing would undertake such a thing secretly, on his own. But now it seemed he had concocted some excuse to convince the Divine Communication Realm Elder from the Righteous Sun Sect to provide cover for him. Mu Yunqing was truly cautious. She had indeed underestimated him.
