My Disciple Died Yet Again Chapter 223-227

Chapter 223: Prelude to War

"Mistress…" Sesame looked straight at her, its expression however began to sink, and not longer after, it turned into an infatuated look. "You're such a peerless beauty… Sesame wishes to hug your thigh at every possible moment, and raise a nest of monkeys with you. Ouu…"

With a resounding boom, before Sesame could even finish his words, it suddenly let out a scream.

A lightning bolt flashed past its body, and it instantly turned charred black from the electrocution. Sesame resentfully puked out a mouthful of black smoke. It then waved around the pearl that was still flashing with lightning sparks in its hands, and said. "Mn… That's it for now!"

It's not that it did not want to continue, it's just that there was someone watching them.

After saying that, it returned to her divine sense with a grey, defeated look.

That pearl was… her master!

Sesame had been enduring its infatuation because of her master? In other words…

The effect of World Favourable Impression was continuous!

……
…

This world is really scary. Master, hurry and bring me back to Mars!

Zhu Yao dreamt in her sleep. In her dream, she saw a large crowd of demonic beasts chasing after her, crying out their desires to bear monkeys for her. She desperately ran, but the more she ran, the more demonic beasts there were chasing her. At the very end, she was forced to a dead corner. Fortunately, a divine being descended from the sky and saved her. Just as she was planning to show grat.i.tude to that person, when that person turned around, what she saw was Yi Ling's face. She was smiling with overflowing gentleness, and with an affectionate tone, she said. "They are all males, only I can bear monkeys for you."

Zhu Yao woke up from fright! Even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't turn yuri.

With a body drenched in cold sweat, she silently went to add a formation. Confirming that even a Nascent Soul pract.i.tioner wouldn't be able to barge his way in, Zhu Yao then let out a sigh of relief.

She did not know how long would the World Favourable Impression ability last, but Yi Ling was after all a bug that had yet to be dealt with. Though she did not want to see her, she would still occasionally release her divine sense to understand the matters of the sect. Then, she would peacefully hole up in her own courtyard.

This holing up lasted five years.

Yue Ying had already turned into his human form, but was still staying in the hole, as though he was in deep slumber.

The two trees at the side had long been flourishing as well.

In these few years, Yi Ling was not involved in any cases that would trigger her bug. It looked as though her entire being had changed. There were already no longer a crowd of harem members next to her. She even seemed to have suddenly lost interest with her skilled ability of acting like a white lotus flower, and had instead become serious in her cultivation.

As five years went by, the number of her harem members did not rise, but had instead decreased. Even Lan Qi and Qi Ping no longer followed her by her hips like before.

It was as though the Mary Sue cheat had been dispelled, and she was becoming more of a decent woman.

This drastic change was something even Zhu Yao was unable to believe with her own eyes, except for the word 'bug' that was still present on her face. She was even beginning to suspect if she had taken the wrong script.

At the start of the first year, Yi Ling would often fly on her sword and circle around her courtyard, trying to break through her formation. In her hands, she would often bring along various items such as embroidered handkerchiefs, waist amulets, and bracelets. It looked as though she was intending to send her engagement gifts.

This frightened Zhu Yao, causing her to reinforce the place with several more layers of formations.

After that, gradually, the number of times she visited decreased. Probably because she knew that Zhu Yao was on guard against her, she stopped trying to break the formations. She would simply stop in mid-air, quietly stand on her sword for over an hour before returning.

Zhu Yao treated this phenomenon as an effect brought about her World Favourable Impression ability, and it was presently subsiding at a gradual pace. Just a little while longer, and Yi Ling would revert back to the Mary Sue she was familiar with… right?

Mn… Should be!

Zhu Yao was actually unable to figure out why the word 'bug' on Yi Ling's face had yet to disappear. Theoretically speaking, the reason why she was a bug was completely because of Lin Qi. Lin Qi was already dealt with, so the cause behind the world's destruction no longer existed. So why was she still a bug?

Unless… her bug was completely unrelated to Lin Qi.

She had countlessly recalled the scenario and faintly felt that something was wrong, but she simply couldn't find out what was wrong. Though, she had a feeling that a storm was brewing.

And then, the barrier separating them from the demonic beasts' continent suddenly collapsed.

A faint red glow flashed past the sky. Not even a moment later, as though a huge hole was dug open, a layer of transparent barrier began to shatter and then completely disappeared. The spiritual energy in the sky suddenly grew a lot denser than before.

Lin Yu transmitted a voice message to her in a fl.u.s.ter, telling her about the disappearance of the barrier. Zhu Yao removed the formations, and immediately headed for the main hall, intending to seek out further details. However, no one knew why the barrier had suddenly disappeared.

"According to the report of the disciples at the frontlines, though the barrier had suddenly disappeared, a beast wave did not occur. There hasn't been any demonic beasts entering our human pract.i.tioners' territory either."

"Demonic beasts are usually scattered and free-willed, so it's natural that they aren't coming over." Back then, she had told those demonic beasts not to come over to the human pract.i.tioners' territory for no reason. What she was worried about was not the demonic beasts, but the Devil that was controlling them. "Whatever it is, I shall first head over to the boundaries to take a look."

Theoretically speaking, the formation core of the barrier had been completely fixed when she was lecturing Lin Qi. So why did it still end up collapsing?

"With Great Ancestral Master personally making a trip, this junior feels at ease." Lin Qi was evidently waiting for her to say these words, and he heaved a huge sigh of relief a moment later. He was just a step away from waving his hands and urging her to be on her way.

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, and felt a squeeze in her heart. Though she carried the t.i.tle of 'Ancestral Master', there was no need to use her this thoroughly, right?

"Do you require some disciples to accompany you?" Lin Yu still had some conscience, it seemed.

"No need." Zhu Yao immediately rejected his offer. "With you people around, it will instead become more troublesome."

Presently, she was the only one who was familiar with that formation. If she didn't go, who could? Just as she was about to turn around and fly off, Yi Ling suddenly walked out.

"Grand Ancestral Master!"

Zhu Yao paused her steps. When she recalled that vile World Favourable Impression ability of hers, she took a step back from reflex. This Mary Sue couldn't possibly want to act all crazy again, right?

Seeing her actions, Yi Ling's initial hopeful expression paled in an instant. Clenching her fists, the corner of her lips wriggled, and unexpectedly, she merely said a single sentence. "Please be careful." Then, she obediently retreated behind Xuan Xu with her head lowered.

Zhu Yao was confused, and felt that there were something strange with her. However, she did not mind it too much and flew off straight away.

Before she went off, she released Sesame and had him rush back to the courtyard.

Yue Ying had yet to wake up, and she did not wish for the courtyard to catch fire again like before.

Just as she was about to reach her destination, her master's voice suddenly rang in her mind.

"Yu… Yao. Make a trip to my place."

"Ah?" Zhu Yao was startled, and suddenly, she felt a little worried. "Master, what happened?"

"Underneath this place…" Yu Yan stopped his words halfway through, and sighed. "You will know once you arrive."

Not dallying in the slightest, Zhu Yao immediately turned around and flew to where her master was residing in.

A few kilometers away from the ruins her master was in, she felt a burning sensation in the air. As though the ground itself had caught on fire, the temperature suddenly rose. When she arrived, she realized that the ground had indeed caught on fire. Someone seemed to have started a fire in the forest, and the place was filled with the smell of ash and soot.

There was something yellowish red flowing on the surface of the ground. After taking a closer look, she realized it was actually lava. The cracks in the earth were like erupting volcanoes, constantly pouring out hot molten lava. When Zhu Yao inspected it more attentively, she saw that the place the lava was coming from, was exactly right below the floating ruins.

After the ruins rose into the air that day, a huge crater was left underneath it. Presently, the crater was filled with magma pouring onto the surface. The heat was so intense, it was even causing the floating ruins right above to drop earth and soil.

Before long, the entire ruins would crumble and disappear due to the heat.

What was going on? It was clearly a forest, so why did it suddenly turn into a volcano?

"Master!" Zhu Yao immediately entered the mustard seed dimensional s.p.a.ce, only to see the s.p.a.ce that was still clear with a blue sky before, had suddenly turned entirely blood red. In the position right above, a gigantic teleportation formation was currently flashing.

Yu Yan stood beneath that formation, and turned his head over. "You're here."

"What is this?" Zhu Yao pointed to the formation up above. If it was a teleportation formation, it was a little too big, wasn't it?

"Earlier, when the demonic beasts' barrier disappeared, this formation appeared." Yu Yan frowned. "There must be a connection between these two formations. As long as one of the formations is broken, the other one would activate."

"Then the lava outside is?"

"It should be a result brought about by this formation as well."

This formation sent lava straight towards the surface? The other side of the teleportation formation couldn't possibly be the crater of a volcano, right?

"This formation was established long ago, and it was concealed in an extremely secretive manner. As long as it stayed inactive, one wouldn't be able to sense it." Yu Yan said in a sunken voice. "Perhaps these ruins, and even the G.o.d's artifact that was placed here, were just to protect what's on the other side of this formation."

"Just what's there on the other side?" To actually spend so much effort to conceal it.

"I do not know." Yu Yan shook his head, and sighed. "When this formation appeared, this place began to collapse right after. Before long, these ruins would cease to exist. If this formation doesn't stop, I'm afraid even the entire cultivation world would be implicated as well."

"Ah!" So serious!? "Can't we stop this formation?"

"Unless we know the destination on the other side?"

"Then let's head in to find out just where it would teleport us to."

"This formation is able to sense a person's level of cultivation. Your master was immediately deflected back after attempting to cross it."

"In other words, the higher one's cultivation level, the harder it is to cross it?"

Yu Yan nodded.

"Then I shall try!"

"Yu Yao." Yu Yan pulled his disciple, tapped his forehead against hers. In an instant, a clear, spiritual aura had entered her divine sense, seeping into that white pearl from before."It's most likely very dangerous on the other side, half of your master's divine sense will accompany you. Remember, after crossing through the formation, retrieve that pearl out of your divine sense."

Zhu Yao nodded. Flying on her sword, she headed towards the formation. She turned her head and glanced at Yu Yan for a moment, before crossing through that formation right after.

With a flash of red light, a different scenery immediately filled her vision. The entire place was covered in darkness, and though there faint red glows in the surroundings, it was still impossible to clearly distinguish the place. However, this place was even hotter than earlier.

"Master!" She lightly called out.

A white illusory figure appeared next to her.

"Master, where do you think this place is?"

Yu Yan did not reply. Instead, he summoned a ball of light at the top of his fingertips, and instantly brightened up the surroundings.

The place they were standing in was actually a mountain cave. It was not very broad, with merely enough s.p.a.ce to have two people walk side by side. On the surrounding walls, there were faint traces of lava that had yet to condense completely, and the red glows she saw earlier were emitted out by those lava.

Chapter 224: Fried an Egg

Yu Yan frowned, reaching out his hand to pull onto his disciple, he habitually said in a cold voice. "Follow your master closely."

With her master here, Zhu Yao obediently became his little tail and followed him closely behind. The further they went, the hotter the air became, and the pa.s.sage grew steeper. Further on, she had to almost use her hands and legs to climb upwards, and in her surroundings, there were growing amount of molten lava flowing down the walls. Zhu Yao faintly sensed that there was something up front, but even after walking for half a day, they had still yet to reach the end.

Suddenly, bubbling sounds could be faintly heard from the front. They sounded like water.

Zhu Yao was startled. "What's that?"

Yu Yan shook his head. "I do not know as well. There seems to be a special spell in-place, preventing my divine sense from expanding out. Follow me closely and there won't be any problems."

"Then why must we walk on this path?" Climbing is very exhausting, you know?

Yu Yan paused his steps, and seemed to have only just realized this problem. A moment later, he said with a stern look. "Yu Yao, trust your master."

"…" Alright, you're the master after all! As your disciple, I should believe…

My a.s.s!

With a darkened expression, Zhu Yao looked towards the fiery red stream that was tumbling towards them.

"Master, that ferocious stream is flowing towards us is lava, right?"

"Mn."

"What do we do now?"

Yu Yan did not reply, instead, he simply picked up his disciple, turned around and quickly flew off in the direction they came from. Following closely behind was a sea of lava that was tumbling towards them. It was no wonder the pa.s.sage they took was covered in condensed lava. This place was not a pa.s.sageway but a ca.n.a.l, a ca.n.a.l especially used to channel lava.

Yet they were climbing straight towards the source earlier.

What happened to the promise that everything would be fine if she followed her master? What happened to the promised trust? Can there at least be the most basic level of trust between master and disciple?

Zhu Yao's heart was in tears.

So not only was her master face-blind, he had no sense of direction as well.

Yu Yan flew extremely quickly. Even in this narrow s.p.a.ce, he merely took a blink of an eye to throw off the lava behind. Not even a moment later, he arrived at the exit, and immediately flew out. What came blowing against them was a searing heat that was even hotter than earlier.

Fiery red magma filled their visions, brightening up the entire s.p.a.ce with a glaring red. Like the bottom of a volcano, the magma tumbled about and constantly released bubbles, making popping sounds. However, above their heads was also a thick stone ceiling.

The crater looked like it was intentionally dug out. Its area was the size of ten football fields, yet it was completely filled with magma. Furthermore, it was not known how deep it was either.

"What is that?" Yu Yan suddenly spoke up.

Zhu Yao followed his line of sight, and spotted at the very center of the magma sea was a flat platform, and placed above was something with a roundish shape that was glowing in white. After taking a careful look, she realized it was actually an egg. An incredibly huge egg. At the very least, it had the size of a dozen or so people.

Just as Yu Yan was about to bring them closer to investigate it, his figure suddenly shook, and he stopped ten meters away from it. "A formation is established in the surroundings."

In other words, they couldn't go in. Zhu Yao carefully inspected that egg, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar it looked.

"It seems the various anomalies on our way here, is because of this egg." Yu Yan said with a sunken voice. "I wonder what it is."

"I might know it." Zhu Yao weakly raised her hand. Births from an egg. Requires the magma of a volcano to act as an incubator. Furthermore, there's so many formations placed down here. All these coincidences pointed to a single answer. "This is a Dragon egg." Though it was larger than usual, being a head taller than the usual ones. Could it be that it received especially great nourishments?

Yu Yan was startled as well, but he still accepted her theory. If it was a G.o.d, then that sword and that strange formation could be explained.

"It seems like this Dragon is about to hatch." Yu Yan said with a sunken voice. "Hence the various phenomenons occurring at the ruins."

"Hatching!?" Zhu Yao was stunned, and she suddenly recalled that Devil. G.o.ds and Devils had always been enemies. Lin Qi had lost his Life Origin Fire and could no longer be considered as a G.o.d. So, there was a need for another G.o.d to balance everything out?

Wait a minute. The Dragon race had always have difficulties giving birth, and hatching from their eggs was even harder. This Dragon egg seemed to have been here for a very long time, and G.o.ds always carried bloodline suppression which demonic beasts were irresistible against. However, this Dragon egg had instead appeared in the human pract.i.tioners' territory, and by adding that barrier into the equation, could she take it as that barrier existed to defend against Devils and protect this Dragon egg since the very beginning?

Now that the barrier had disappeared, it must be the Devil's doings as well. Then, the first thing the Devil would do after breaking the barrier would be…

Zhu Yao instantly took in a cold breath.

"Master, this place…" is very dangerous! Before she could even finish, Yu Yan's expression turned cold as he pulled her towards his back.

"Someone's coming!"

Just as he said that, a fierce wind blew and the fiery red s.p.a.ce twisted. As though it was suddenly sliced open at the center, a black-colored hole appeared. A huge ma.s.s of devillic aura flowed out from within it, and not even a moment later, the figures of two men appeared in the air.

One of them looked familiar, but that sinister and cold aura of his clearly revealed that his was Devil. The other person was actually Lin Qi.

"Oh, I never expected that human pract.i.tioners would actually be able to make their way here." That Devil coldly looked towards them. After clearly distinguishing Zhu Yao at the back, he seemed to have shook for a moment. Then, he began to smile dangerously. "Oh, it's actually you! The person who stole my G.o.d's artifact."

Zhu Yao was stunned. This person was actually the Devil who controlled the beast wave back then.

"You… Why are you here?" Lin Qi evidently recognized Zhu Yao as well, and he took a step back out of fear.

"I should be asking you that." Zhu Yao turned to look at the two of them. "As the descendent of a G.o.d, why are you colluding with a Devil?"

Lin Qi's expression paled, and then his face turned red from anger. "That isn't of your concern. Back then if not for you, would I be in such a miserable state? I will take my revenge no matter what."

"What's the rush? I have some debts to settle with this person as well." That Devil coldly laughed, as he looked towards Zhu Yao and said. "Today, it won't be as easy as last time…"

Boom!

A heavenly lightning bolt immediately struck towards him.

"If you want to fight, then do it! So much useless chatter!" Why were all antagonists so talkative?

"You're courting death!" The Devil's expression sank. In a flash, his figure was heading in Zhu Yao's direction, throwing an attack towards her.

Yu Yan sidestepped and quickly took a step forward to shield Zhu Yao. A sword aura carrying a lightning glow immediately scattered the other party's attack.

The Devil was stunned for a moment, as though he did not expect that someone could block his attack. His face turned darker and sank even more, and the devillic aura from his body expanded in all directions. Turning his head around, he waved towards Lin Qi. "Take it!"

Lin Qi hurriedly headed in the direction of the Dragon egg.

"Lin Qi." Zhu Yao instantly sent a lightning bolt towards him. "That's a Dragon egg, are you sure you want to hand a G.o.d over to a Devil!?"

"Dragon!?" Lin Qi was stunned, as he suddenly turned to stare at the Devil. "It's a Dragon egg? You lied to me."

"Even if you found out, it's already too late." He suddenly threw a palm towards Lin Qi, and a large amount of devillic energy instantly enveloped his entire being. The light in Lin Qi's eyes gradually disappeared, and a moment later, they turned crimson red. "Take the egg."

After saying that, his body flashed, and he attacked Yu Yan with all his might.

"Be careful." Yu Yao turned to instruct Zhu Yao before taking the hit head on. In an instant, black and white rays of light intertwined and collided with each other.

Lin Qi on the other hand was like a wooden doll as he flew towards the Dragon egg.

Zhu Yao summoned her fan weapon and flew forward to block him. With a wave of her hand, she summoned lightning rays numbered in the high hundreds and attacked him. However, lightning rays simply pa.s.sed through him, unable to land a direct hit on Lin Qi at all. His entire body turned into black mist and directly flew pa.s.sed Zhu Yao.

Zhu Yao was startled for a moment. Lin Qi did not have a physical body, meaning that he was being controlled by the devillic energy.

That black mist reached the ten meter mark away from the Dragon Egg, and was suddenly deflected by a ray of white light. It was the barrier they encountered earlier.

Zhu Yao rushed over, once again summoning lightning rays and throwing them at him. Though they had scattered the surrounding devillic energy, they gathered and took shape again a few moments later. Furthermore, he began to wildly attack the barrier.

If this kept up, the barrier would be broken through sooner or later.

Zhu Yao gritted her teeth and immediately circulated her spiritual energy to activate a sealing art. In an instant, countless ancient runic symbols floated around her body. She seemed to have instantly felt the spiritual rebound from forcefully activating a G.o.d's sealing art with spiritual energy, as her organs and even her divine sense were beginning to experience the pain of being ripped apart.

"Yu Yao!" Yu Yan sensed the anomaly on her side and wanted to rush over. However, he was being entangled by the Devil and was simply unable to make his way there. "Stop quickly."

The Dragon egg's barrier was already beginning to collapse, and Lin Qi who had succ.u.mbed to the Devil was about to break in. Zhu Yao immediately activated the seal. Golden mystic runes instantly enveloped Lin Qi, and the runes began to spiral at high speeds. Large amount of black devillic energy instantly flowed out from his body, disappearing into the golden seal.

Lin Qi then immediately fell over, and landed on one of the stone platforms.

"To actually wield the ancient sealing arts!" The expression of the Devil sank, and the killing intent in his eyes rose even further. "Then I can't let you live." After saying that, his attacks against Yu Yan grew even wilder.

Zhu Yao puked out a mouthful of blood as she mustered her strength to land on the Dragon egg's platform. Raising her head to look towards the air, the figures of her master and the Devil had already turned blurry, and only two streaks of light could be seen. The entire s.p.a.ce was booming with loud thunder and dancing devillic energy. The surrounding magma was also affected by the countless arts as fiery sparks filled the s.p.a.ce.

Her master's real body was not present here, just half of his divine sense was currently in this s.p.a.ce, while his opponent was a true Devil. If this kept up, they would definitely suffer defeat.

What should she do?

Having an extra support at this time would be good as well!

Support!

Zhu Yao turned to face the Dragon egg next to her. She suddenly recalled something Shao Bai had mentioned before. To hatch a Dragon, it merely had to absorb enough heat energy.

If it's heat energy…

Zhu Yao suddenly recalled that feather that was in her possession. The flames of a Phoenix were definitely of a higher plane of power compared to magma. If she were to use that G.o.d's artifact, adding the Life Origin Fire she obtained from Lin Qi, this Dragon might be able to hatch early.

Not hesitating any longer, she immediately pulled out the Ruling Plume, circulated her spiritual energy, and instantly turned it into a blazing sword. Zhu Yao took a deep breath, and slowly transferred her sword intent into the sword. A moment later, the fire turned purple in color.

With a wave of her hand, the egg's surroundings were filled with long-lasting purple flames.

While Zhu Yao controlled the flames, she paid attention to the egg at the center. Though this theory sounded correct, the flames best not be too fierce and end up frying the little guy within. She had completely no interest in fried egg whatsoever!

Chapter 225: Sealing the Devil

After about seven minutes, the egg finally showed signs of hatching. A powerful might was faintly emitting out from within. It began to shake, as though something was about to break out of the sh.e.l.l.

Seeing this, the Devil's devillic aura exploded forth, releasing out a large ma.s.s of devillic energy that was targeted at Zhu Yao.

"Yu Yao!" Yu Yan turned around and rushed over, sweeping his sword across the devillic energy. However, he was unable to shield himself in time, as a long sword formed by devillic energy immediately pierced through his figure.

As it was just an illusory form in the first place, it merely shook for a moment. However, small stains of blood began to appear on the robe that was as white as snow.

"Master!" Zhu Yao widened her eyes, and her heart clenched in an instant as she held onto him. That familiar feeling of anger once again poured out, and for an instant, she wanted to step forward and exterminate that Devil.

"No matter." Yu Yan's figure shook for a moment. Pulling onto Zhu Yao's hand, he said in a sunken voice. "I shall hold this Devil back. Bring the egg and return to the mustard seed dimensional s.p.a.ce through that pa.s.sageway."

"But master!" That egg was so huge, how was going to bring it through the pa.s.sageway, hey?

"Be obedient!" Yu Yan's expression sank. "I will be fine."

Only a ghost would believe you! There were already bloodstains on his body, which proved that her master who was in the dimensional s.p.a.ce was similarly injured as well. He basically wouldn't be able to last long.

"None of you will be able to escape!" The Devil coldly smiled. In an instant, icicles numbered in the high hundreds appeared, and they flew straight towards the two of them.

"Hurry and go." Yu Yan swept his sword and instantly blasted a pa.s.sage open. Then, he went to meet with the Devil's attacks head on.

Zhu Yao took a deep breath, and suppressed the seemingly uncontrollable anger within her heart. She knew that this was the effects of the Ruling Plume and had to calm herself down. Thus, she increased the output of the flames next to the Dragon egg.

Glancing at the two people in the air, she gritted her teeth. It's all or nothing!

Even if she went back in the direction they were from now, she might not be able to escape. Rather than that, she might as well make a gamble.

Calming herself down and taking a deep breath, she circulated her spiritual energy. As the output of spiritual energy increased, the egg began to shake and looked like it was about to hatch at any moment. The Devil's expression sank, and it suddenly split into two. Another illusory form was summoned, and it came flying straight towards Zhu Yao.

The h.e.l.l, she had no choice but to endure this the hard way!

Zhu Yao circulated the spiritual energy in her entire body, and wildly summoned flames in the direction of the Dragon egg. She must make it in time!

The Devil was approaching fast, and just as it was about to strike her body…

Suddenly, a crack sounded.

Zhu Yao felt completely relieved at this moment.

Following after, a draconic roar resounded through the clouds.

A golden light pierced through the skies, instantly breaking through this gigantic s.p.a.ce and the ceiling began to collapse. Solidified lava fell off, and not even a moment later, as though the entirety of the ceiling had been dug apart, the blue sky was revealed. The Devil's illusory form had also disappeared at the moment of the draconic roar sounded.

This place was about to collapse!

Zhu Yao grabbed onto Lin Qi in pa.s.sing and flew out while enduring the pain that felt as though her entire body was about to be torn apart. After exiting the place that was filled with magma did she realize that they were beneath the ruins her master was residing in. In other words, that place earlier was most probably the third level of the ruins.

That draconic roar grew even louder. In the sky above, a giant azure dragon was circling around. The Devil began to tremble and his expression was especially twisted, as he stared straight towards the sky.

The body of the gigantic dragon flashed, instantly turning into a purple-robed man, carrying an unconcealable air of royalty. He looked at the Devil with a frown.

"Aojiang. I can't believe you're still alive." The Devil coldly snorted, and his eyes were filled with cold killing intent.

"If the Devils aren't exterminated, how can I of the G.o.d race pa.s.s on!?" Aojiang released a mighty pressure from his body and fiercely glared back. "Yan Chi, the ancient Devils are destined to never be allowed into this world. This is the Heavenly Dao, and neither you nor I am able to fight against it."

Yan Chi's expression twisted even further, and he said with a cold smile. "You think you're capable of being my opponent right now? Even if you had hidden yourself in your egg sh.e.l.l and regained your former G.o.dly powers, what of it? Aojiang, you couldn't beat me in the past, and you won't be able to beat me now either."

"Whether I can beat you or not, I will know if I try!" Aojiang's figure flashed, and he turned back into a gigantic dragon in an instant as he flew straight towards the Devil.

These two people actually knew each other? She had thought that it was a young Dragon in the egg, but never did she expect that it was an old Dragon nursing his injuries in his egg sh.e.l.l. No wonder it was so huge.

"Master!" Zhu Yao found a safe spot on the ground and placed Lin Qi down. Then, she flew over to Yu Yan.

Yu Yan raised his head and looked towards the ruins that was about to collapse completely, and said with a sunken voice. "Yu Yao, shatter that pearl within your divine sense."

Zhu Yao was startled for a moment, and then understood a moment later. She instantly retrieved that pearl and tightened her grip on it, causing the white pearl to shatter into pieces. Yu Yan's illusory form shook for a moment, before turning into a ray of light that flew back in the direction of his main body.

The battle between the Dragon and Devil was exceptionally intense, collapsing mountains and fissures on the earth were barely enough to describe it. Zhu Yao was only able to stay away from the ripples of the battle after being doubly cautious. However, even in the present situation, that Devil did not lose the upper hand in the slightest. Instead, it was that Dragon which was in a difficult position.

Just as Zhu Yao was feeling worried, the sky suddenly turned dark. Several bolts of heavenly lightning descended from the sky, striking directly in the direction of the Devil.

The Devil Yan Chi dodged them with all his might, but was still affected by the lightning sparks. Quite a bit of his devillic energy from his body scattered off, and his aura was beginning to destabilize as well. Evidently, he suffered a heavy injury.

Her master's figure instantly appeared in the sky. This time, it was not just half of his divine sense, but his main body.

Zhu Yao silently gave a thumbs up in his direction!

"Far Ancient HighG.o.d!" Aojiang was stunned for a moment as he looked at Yu Yan with widened eyes. He had a face of complete disbelief. "Why is the HighG.o.d… No, you do not have the G.o.d's imprint on you, just who in the world…"

Yu Yan had no time to care about him, as he once again summoned heavenly lightning bolts and sent them towards Yan Chi. He did not have much time. The tribulation clouds were already beginning to gather in the sky. Once the Ascension Lightning Tribulation descends, he would have no choice but to ascend into the Higher Realm.

"Yu Yao."

"Master?" Zhu Yao suddenly received a voice transmission.

"Tell me the method you used to seal the Devil earlier."

"Seal…" Zhu Yao was startled for a moment, and then she shook her head on reflex. "No way master. The sealing arts are arts belonging to the G.o.d race, and they must be activated through G.o.dly energy. If you were to forcefully activate it with spiritual energy, you will suffer a rebound. So you can't…"

"Yu w.a.n.g!" His voice sank, and he said with a lecturing tone. "Since you're able to do it, why can't your master? Believe in your master just once."

"…" What he said made a lot of sense.

Zhu Yao gritted her teeth. This was the only way left. Thus, she chose the safest and also the most effective seal – the Offering Seal Art. Then, she explained to her master the art's incantation, the critical points of its formation, and also the method of circulating spiritual energy.

Yu Yan listened to the explanation seriously, and he subconsciously frowned. Normally speaking, a sealing art that was similar to formations such as this would be extremely hard to enact without practice. Strangely however, when he heard her disciple's explanation, a depiction of the basic structure of the seal automatically appeared in his mind, as though he knew these arts in the very beginning.

The tribulation had already descended, and eighty one heavenly lightning bolts constantly struck him without pause. Yu Yan guided the heavenly lightning bolts with all his might, and attacked in the direction of the Devil while coordinating with the Dragon.

That Devil seemed to have fallen into a difficult position. Be it the heavenly lightning bolts or the Dragon's attacks, none of them missed their mark. However, the other party was like an unkillable c.o.c.kroach, and would revert back to his original look in an instant.

"Hahahaha…" He suddenly let out a wild laugh. "Aojiang, it's no use. I'm a Devil. I can't die, nor can I be exterminated. No matter how powerful you people are, it's basically impossible to kill me."

Aojiang's expression sharpened, as his gigantic head went pouncing in his direction.

However, Yu Yan circulated that sealing art at the exact same moment, and finally at the moment the final heavenly lightning bolt descended, the seal activated.

In an instant, a gigantic runic diagram appeared in the sky, and it descended like a large cage.

"Offering Seal!" Aojiang was startled, and a moment later he looked pleasantly surprised. Reverting back to his human form, he looked towards Yu Yan with sparkling eyes.

"How is this possible? Why is there a human capable of using the ancient sealing arts?" Yan Chi's face greyed from defeat as stared at the seal in the sky. He wanted to escape, but the light from the seal isolated him from within, and he was unable to break free.

"Yan Chi, I have already told you, this is fate. The ancient Devils are destined to perish." Aojiang however had a calm look, and seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief. "You and I have fought for so many years, you should have seen through the Heavenly Dao."

"I'm not content, I'm not content!" The seal pressed down even further, and Yan Chi began to struggle even wilder than before, even his scream was beginning to turn piercing to the ears. His face seemed to have been pulled or something, as it began to change in shape. "Why can't Devils exist in this world? This world is just unfair! In a state like this, the Three Realms should be destroyed. What Heavenly Dao? Even if it's the Heavenly Dao, I will still push on and bend the heavens! Destroy… I will destroy this world…"

As he continued on, he grew even wilder than before. Finally, it was no longer able to see his human shape, and he seemed to have turned into a ma.s.s of black mist that only knew how to vent his anger, as he clashed and collided with the seal. He had completely lost his reason. Zhu Yao's heart sank for a moment. Was this the Devil's main body? A ma.s.s of resentment that only knew how to slaughter, destroy,and throw itself into a bloodthirsty frenzy. However, no matter how he struggled, he was unable to escape the seal. That golden formation came crashing straight down.

Yan Chi instantly disappeared within the bottom of the seal, and not even a hint of his presence could be felt any longer. An additional round formation appeared on the surface.

Yu Yan focused and retrieved the spiritual energy, but in the end, he was still unable to sustain himself from the rebound. His body shook for a moment, and a scarlet red stream flowed out from the corner of his lips.

"Master!" Zhu Yao flew over on her sword and held onto his body. Her heart was clenching ever so tightly. "Are you alright?"

Yu Yan shook his head, and habitually stroked the top of her head. "No matter."

"Don't worry, it's just that his blood is flowing in the reverse direction, his Dantian has shattered, and almost all of his meridians had been destroyed. It's nothing serious." That purple-robed Dragon came over with a leisurely look.

Blood flowing in the reverse direction, Dantian had shattered, and his meridians were destroyed, and he was saying it was nothing serious!? Zhu Yao turned to glare at him. Say one more word, and I will strangle you to death.

"Uh…" Aojiang was startled, and he unconsciously took a step back. Why was this little lady so fierce? He did not say much though? Injuries like these were really nothing much to the Dragon race. Hesitating for a moment, he still reached out his palm towards Yu Yan's back and sent some G.o.dly energy over, restoring his Dantian. "Earlier, it's thanks to the both of you that the Devil is now sealed."

"It's nothing much, though it's true it's something you should be thanking us for." Zhu Yao waved her hands.

Aojiang: "…" This little lady was really blunt.

Chapter 226 Single Dragon Can't Be Hurt

"Master, how are you feeling? Are you better now?"

"Mn." Yu Yan nodded. Just as he was about to give his disciple some instructions, a pillar of light sudden descended from the skies, enveloping Yu Yan within it.

Light of Guidance. He had no choice but to leave now.

"Master…" Zhu Yao grabbed onto him. Though she knew that he had to ascend the moment he stepped out, she was still reluctant to see him go, you know?

Yu Yan caressed her cheek, and said with a stern expression. "Yu w.a.n.g, you must be extremely cautious from this moment on."

"Mn." Zhu Yao heavily nodded, and her heart felt a little sour.

"Hurry and return to Lightning Divine Hall. Your master shall wait for you." Yu Yan carefully stroked the hair by her neckside, and his voice was a little heavy, as though he was still worried about her. Closing in on her, he spoke next to her ear. "Don't let your master wait for too long."

Just as she was about to nod, Yu Yan lowered his head and sealed her lips with his own. Zhu Yao was stunned, and all the senses in her body were focused on that interlocked kiss. With an expression carrying hints of surprise and happiness, she widened her eyes, and her mind instantly went blank.

Yu Yan's body grew fainter, and in the end, he disappeared within the Light of Guidance.

He was brought to the Higher Realm.

Zhu Yao stood on the ground, staying in the posture she had earlier. Even in her dreams, she would have never expected that her master would do something that intimate in broad daylight and in such an open s.p.a.ce. He really was bold. But… I like it.

"Ahem…" Aojiang who had witnessed the entire scene coughed, reminding someone to regain her senses. Then, he probed. "Umm… Little miss, are you two really master and disciple?"

Zhu Yao turned to glare at that gossiping dragon, and coldly said. "You single dragon, like you could understand anything!"

"…" He received 1000+ damage. So what if you have a partner?

Aojiang rubbed his nose and recovered. He sized up the unhappy Zhu Yao, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in the depths of his heart. "Little miss, have we met before in the past?"

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "So Dragons are all so old-fashioned in the way they try to strike up conversations as well? Love between different species will never result in happiness!"

"Uh…" A woman whose love was far away could no longer be hurt by anything. "I didn't mean it that way. I'm saying… Uh, I want to ask how did your master know sealing arts?" A seal like that originated from the ancient G.o.d race, and even he only had meagre knowledge of it. However, the two of them were clearly mortals. "And I feel that… you two look a little familiar." Putting aside the ascended human who looked exactly the same as the Far Ancient HighG.o.d, this little miss was beginning to look really familiar as well.

Zhu Yao glanced at him. Was she allowed to say that she had learnt them from the actual Far Ancient HighG.o.d?

"Actually…" Just as Zhu Yao was about to make up a fresh, extraordinary and astonishing story that people would wish to continue hearing more of, the ground underneath them began to shake. The seal on the ground surface was beginning to crack, and something seemed to be breaking out from the ground.

Aojiang's face sank as he immediately cast an art to insert G.o.dly energy in order to stop the seal from being broken. However, everything he did was futile. That seal began to shine with a white light from the center, and the light slowly split into two. Then, a black pillar of light instantly charged out.

"Hahaha…" The Devil's arrogant laughter instantly resounded in the surroundings, and within it carried a hint of sinister, chilling intent.

"How is this possible!?" Aojiang suddenly widened his eyes, as he looked at Yan Chi who was laughing maniacally. "With the power of a single Devil, how is it possible for the seal to be broken through?"

"Aojiang, is this the Heavenly Dao you're so ascertained of?" Yan Chi looked at him with a scornful glance. "You really think that after so many years, I'm not clear of the things you're able to understand? Who says that destiny cannot be changed?"

"What are you getting at?" Aojiang was startled, and Zhu Yao's heart could not help but clench as well. She faintly sensed that he was about to say something grave.

Yan Chi laughed even more arrogantly. "The Heavenly Dao has destined the Devils to be exterminated? In the end, it's just that your G.o.d race has more luck than our Devil race. As long as I possess luck, then destiny will be in my hands."

Aojiang coldly snorted. "How can luck of the Heavenly Dao possibly lean in your Devil race's favor?"

"You can't say that for certain." The Devil laughed. With a wave of his hands, a black illusory figure then appeared next to him. "I don't possess it, but I can steal it!"

That black figure slowly turned clearer, and a moment later, the facial appearance of a girl was revealed.

"Yi Ling!" Zhu Yao widened her eyes. That black illusory figure was actually Mary Sue! Her entire body was being surrounded by black mist, and she looked like she was in pain. Why was she here? And she was even captured by the Devil.

"Aojiang, after so many years, do you really think that by hiding in that egg sh.e.l.l to recover your strength, I was unable to do anything?" Yan Chi coldly laughed, revealing a complacent look as though he got away with his scheme. "I have been searching for the method to rip apart the Devil race's destiny, and I finally found this favored child of the Heavenly Dao. As long as I merge with her soul, then the Heavenly Dao shall belong to my ancient Devil race."

Merge! He wanted to take over Yi Ling's soul!

"Let go of her!" Lin Qi woke up all of a sudden, and he looked at Yan Chi with a tensed look. "You promised me that as long as I help you break through the barrier, you will no longer try to take over my soul, and also let go of Ling'er."

"Let her go?" Yan Chi coldly laughed. "I have searched for so many years, and I finally found someone who carries incredible luck. How can I possibly let her go!?"

Lin Qi's face was grey from defeat.

"The human who knows the sealing arts has already ascended to the Higher Realm, so let me see what you are going to use to beat me?" Yan Chi waved his hand, and Yi Ling's illusory figure was instantly stored back into his body. Then, he attacked Aojiang.

Zhu Yao felt something flashed past her mind, as though she caught a hint of something, however, she was drowned in even more doubts. Incredible luck? Was he talking about Yi Ling's Mary Sue cheat?

Looking at this situation, Yan Chi must have caught Lin Qi in the beginning, and used him to destroy the barrier separating human pract.i.tioners and demonic beasts. Then, he caught Yi Ling, threatened Lin Qi to use his bloodline affinity to sense Aojiang's position and bring him there. Most probably, Lin Qi must not known that a G.o.d was in the egg.

The purpose of capturing Yi Ling was because of the incredible luck she possessed. The use of this luck was comparable to being the Heavenly Dao.

Zhu Yao did not know how long it had been in the Lower Realm since she opened the World Crossing Heavenly Door. However, hearing from their conversation, it must have been a very long time. Within this time frame, they had been constantly fighting with each other, and during their battles, the two of them seemed to have comprehended a hint of the Heavenly Dao. Evidently, the Heavenly Dao was not on the Devil race's side.

That was why the Devil was trying to find ways to escape this destiny.

And Yi Ling had the destiny he was searching for, and was what we called incredible luck.

She carefully recalled the scenario, and realized that Yi Ling's luck was indeed explosively good. In her life, other than Lin Qi who appeared at the end, it had always been smooth sailing. She never encountered any real danger, and even if she did fall into a crisis, not only would she resolve them, she would even receive a bunch of harem members who were completely infatuated with her.

In other words, Yi Ling's bug was not caused by Lin Qi, but the incredible luck she possessed?

Zhu Yao suddenly widened her eyes, as she finally understood the reason why the 'bug' word on her face did not disappear this entire time. Her bug was not related to anyone else as she had thought.

But…

If this luck of hers was truly so incredible…

Why would Lin Qi suddenly get back his senses at the end of the scenario, and not only did he kill off all of Yi Ling's harem members, he even did not let go of Yi Ling herself? This was simply too illogical. Could it be that Lin Qi's luck was larger than Yi Ling's?

No, that's not right. If that's the case, Yi Ling who had been completely infatuated with him.

Unless…

Zhu Yao shook for a moment, as a daring thought suddenly popped out in her mind. She raised her head to look at Lin Qi, then she turned to face that Devil. Unless… Lin Qi at the end of the scenario was not the real Lin Qi.

Earlier, Lin Qi said that Devil actually wanted to take over his soul. In the beginning, she had thought that the Devil's scheme was to merely have Lin Qi open the barrier. And because Lin Qi was given a bashing by her and had his strength greatly weakened, he was basically unable to retaliate against the Devil. So, before even waiting for the other party to take over his soul, he immediately agreed to his demands.

But if they had progressed in the original scenario, Lin Qi who possessed the G.o.ds' bloodline would definitely retaliate, and the Devil would definitely forcefully take over his soul, becoming Lin Qi.

In other words, in the scenario, the one who came to love Lin Qi was actually that Devil. So, at the end, when he found out about Yi Ling's betrayal, he became that furious and even took revenge on society, destroying the world and whatnot. These were basically not something done under anger, but rather due to the instincts of an ancient Devil. Yi Ling's betrayal had merely awakened his instincts.

The more Zhu Yao thought about it, the more she felt that the Lin Qi in the scenario she saw was Yan Chi, especially at the end when Lin Qi brought a horde of demonic beasts to attack. She once personally saw Yan Chi use the Ruling Plume to control demonic beasts, and when Lin Qi was using his bloodline to suppress Sesame, Sesame clearly still had his own will and did not completely comply to his wishes.

This proved that Lin Qi was basically unable to control a crowd of demonic beasts.

But… Why did the present Devil not carry even the least bit of goodwill for Yi Ling? Rather, he wanted to directly take over her soul and steal her incredible luck. Was it because he did not take over Lin Qi's soul? So he was not affected by Yi Ling's luck?

That's not right. If Yi Ling's luck was ineffective on the Devil's main body, then why would he spend so much effort to find someone who carried incredible luck?

Unless… the effects of her luck had been weakened.

Zhu Yao took in a cold breath, and suddenly recalled that… ever since Yi Ling was affected by her World Favourable Impression ability, her Mary Sue trait seemed to have weakened. Other that the men who had already been infatuated with her in the beginning, there had not been any other incidents where men would direct their love for her at first sight.

Could it be that she had weakened Yi Ling's luck?

In other words… the luck she possessed, was larger than Yi Ling's.

Uhh…

Why did she feel that this was a little dangerous?

Zhu Yao seemed to have cleared up all these messy details, but the main point now was… how was she going to deal with it!? Haah!

Her master had already ascended, and she was presently half-crippled. Most probably, that Devil might have acted as though he was sealed right from the beginning, in order to let her master, who knew the sealing arts, leave.

However, he most probably did not know that she knew sealing arts as well. Earlier, she had used it once when she sealed the devillic energy within Lin Qi's body, but because she was within the Dragon egg's barrier, Yan Chi did not know of her actions.

This point could be considered as her trump card.

But sealing the devillic energy on Lin Qi's body alone had used up all of her energy. Even if she charge out now, she would merely hinder Aojiang, let alone sealing Yan Chi once again.

Furthermore, the huge bug Yi Ling was in his hands, and he would most probably still be able to escape.

What should she do? Was there any way to end this once and for all?

Once and for all…

Zhu Yao was stunned for a moment, and then thought of a plan. Calming herself down, she sent a voice transmission to the Dragon who was in a frenzy. "Aojiang, can you let me take over your body for a moment?"

Aojiang paused for a moment, and had almost been struck by the Devil because of it. Barely dodging his attack, he then sent a voice transmission back. "Brat, stop fooling around. Your injuries are not light, go hide further away."

"I'm not joking." Zhu Yao said with a sunken voice. "To tell you the truth, I know the sealing arts as well, but I presently do not have the strength to form the seal. This seal can only be activated by G.o.dly energy. I merely require access to your divine sense, and temporarily control your body for a short while."

"Brat, you're crazy." Aojiang said with a sunken voice. "Putting aside whether your method is workable, first and foremost, I'm a G.o.d. If you enter my divine sense, you will definitely die from the rebound. Furthermore, the sealing arts are extremely complicated, and even I don't have hundred percent confidence in forming one. How are you so certain that you will definitely succeed?"

He made a lot of sense, but…

"What if I say… I'm Little Seventh of the Phoenix Clan?"

The gigantic dragon in the sky evidently stiffened for a moment. Not even a moment later, he suddenly leapt up as though he had taken in stimulants, and his tail wildly swept towards Yun Chi. She could hear the excitement in his voice transmission.

"Little Seventh of the Phoenix Clan! The Little Seventh who opened the World Crossing Heavenly Door, the disciple of the Far Ancient HighG.o.d! ┗ ｀o′ ┛Oooouuu~~ You're still alive, I'm not dreaming, right?"

"Mn." Earlier when he mistook her master, Zhu Yao guessed that he might know her as well. She never expected that he was really someone familiar with her.

He roared for a moment before speaking up. "Then why are you now…" Like this.

"No time to explain. So, are you going to help or not?"

"Help! Of course I will help!" Aojiang replied excitedly. "But entering my divine sense is too dangerous, why don't I just lend you my dragon pearl?"

After saying that, he immediately reverted back to his human form. With a twist of his hand, a prison of light suddenly appeared, and four streaks of light flew towards the Devil from different directions, instantly trapping him within.

"Little Seventh!" He shouted out, and Zhu Yao immediately flew out to follow up.

Seeing that Yan Chi was trapped, Lin Qi took the opportunity summon a ma.s.sive ball of flames and sent it in his direction.

"Idiot, don't!" Zhu Yao could not stop him in time.

A black ray of light flashed within the ball of flames, and an icicle flew out, instantly piercing Lin Qi's leg. With a bang, he fell onto the ground, while Yan Chi escaped and was now speeding towards Aojiang.

Aojiang had already met up with Zhu Yao, but seeing that the Devil was already approaching, he no longer had the time to release his dragon pearl. He had no choice but to grab onto Zhu Yao and lower his head with the intention to directly transfer the dragon pearl. However, because of terrible aim, he ended up kissing her cheek.

Hence, he had to raise his head and try again.

This time, he kissed her eyes.

Again.

The kiss landed on her forehead.

Again.

Finally had his aim right, he successfully transferred it over.

Zhu Yao who had drools all over her face from the kisses: "…"

Aojiang satisfyingly held onto his own lips. Mn. As a single dragon, it should be completely understandable if his techniques were not up to par.

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Raising her hand, she sent a slap right to his face and had successfully left a mark. Understandable my a.s.s. If you had the time to kiss here and there, would it have killed you to directly release your dragon pearl!?

Chapter 227: Piggish Party Member Achievement Unlocked

Fiercely wiping off the drool on her face, Zhu Yao felt uncomfortable all around her body.

A string of words suddenly popped out in her mind – dragon's spittle fragrance. She read about it once in a book, and it said that the scent was comparable to the drool of a dragon. Now, her face really was covered with this dragon's spittle fragrance, but the only thought she had right now was…

Puke, puke, puke…

She felt that she could puke out all of the food she had eaten in her entire lifetime.

The single dragon who kissed a girl for the first time received 2000 damage, as his gla.s.s heart shattered into pieces.

He silently cast an art blocked the Devil's attack with all his might. Turning his head back, he said resentfully.

"Little Seventh, at least save me some face." Was it really that disgusting? "No matter the case, we can be considered as acquaintances, right? When you were still an egg, I even visited you a few times."

Zhu Yao retched for quite a while, before she finally managed to stop. "I beg you, don't talk to me right now." She really did not wish to puke again, alright?

Taking a deep breath, she sat in a meditative posture on the ground and began circulating the G.o.dly energy within the dragon pearl. Her present character was not a G.o.d, and she was basically unable to endure the presence of G.o.dly energy in her body. Seemingly in an instant, she could sense that the meridians in her body were like fireworks, popping resoundingly one after another. However, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue on.

Though Aojiang's barrier was powerful, it could only barely fend against Yan Chi's attacks. Adding that he had lost the dragon pearl, the source of his G.o.dly energy, he was holding on in a very desperate manner.

Yan Chi seemed to have realized that they seemed to have come up with a plan, and thus put in more effort in his attacks. He no longer maintained his human form and had turned into a ma.s.s of constantly shapeshifting black mist. Once, he turned into countless of faces to bite him, then into a twisted-looking strange beast, as though he was acting in a horror film with an extremely high production budget value.

"Little Seventh, hurry up, I can't hold on much longer." Cold sweat was already dripping off from Aojiang's head. The barrier was growing weaker, and now that they were backed in a corner, he had no choice but to shapeshift back into his dragon form, in order to use his gigantic body to block Yan Chi's attacks.

Zhu Yao wildly guided the G.o.dly energy, and was forming complicated hand seals with her hands.

"Hohohoho…" That Devil began to let out a sinister laugh. "Aojiang, no matter what you people plan to do, once I have completely merged with this girl who carries incredible luck, none of you will be able to stop me. From now on, the Heavenly Dao shall be rewritten!"

His laughter grew even louder, yet it carried a bone-piercing chilling intent, causing one's heart to tremble. The darkness surrounding his body grew even thicker, as though he was merging with Yi Ling's soul with all his might. Suddenly, his body shook for a moment, and his face began to distort.

It was slowly dyed with pain, and a moment later, it turned into Yi Ling's face.

"Yi Ling!" Zhu Yao called out. The G.o.dly energy in her body began to go into disarray again.

She seemed to be in extreme pain, and her entire face had turned into a frown. Looking at Zhu Yao from afar, she seemed to have been stunned for a moment. Right after, she murmured out. "Senior-martial sister Zhu…"

She still had her own consciousness.

Zhu Yao tightened her fists, and for a moment she was a little frustrated. This Devil was truly a motherf.u.c.king b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

"Senior-martial sister Zhu." her expression turned even more painful, as though she was resisting against something with all her might. A moment later, she said. "Don't mind me… Hurry… Run!"

The h.e.l.l, if you say such things, this lady here can't bear to see you die even more. She suddenly recalled when she left Blue Parasol Sect, Yi Ling was also hesitant like this. Most probably, she had already sensed that she was going to be in danger, and had wanted to seek Zhu Yao for protection. However, she still did not speak up in the end.

Zhu Yao could not help but feel a hint of guilt at this moment. In the past, because Yi Ling's Mary Sue trait had left a very deep impression on her, she had habitually avoided her because of it. Ever since she was affected by the World Favourable Impression ability, Zhu Yao never trusted her either. Now that she thought about it, that World Favourable Impression ability really carried the effects of suppressing her Mary Sue cheat.

Then…

"I never expected that you still held onto your consciousness." Yan Chi's face twisted for a moment, and then it reverted back to its former look, as though he had once again suppressed Yi Ling down. The darkness enveloping his body once again thickened.

There was no time left. If this continued, Yi Ling would be completely killed by him. Zhu Yao gritted her teeth, and took a gamble.

She immediately turned on the World Favourable Impression ability above her head. If this World
