Chapter 200: The Greatest Cult Under The Heavens
Wei Zhuoyan followed Li Jingyi’s advice and retreated. His four deputies retreated as well. He sighed softly as he looked at Li Jingyi’s slender back. ‘Who knew Wei Zhuo Yan had been relying on Li Jingyi all along to get to where he was?’ He felt exhausted. He was pushed into this position by some bizarre turn of events and was suddenly tied to the entire nation.
Li Jingyi looked at the skies and said softly, “For the sect master of the greatest cult under the heavens, the Nether Sect, to grace us with his presence… I apologize in advance for my rudeness.”
The voice that rang from the flying chariot was deep and confident. “What I want is Wei Zhuoyan’s life.” The words were straight-to-the-point.
“I don’t understand. Why is the Nether Sect meddling with the rebel army and impeding the general’s efforts to quell the disturbance? Are you trying to make Great Yan your enemy?”
“Do you have a death wish?” This sentence was laced with a powerful sound technique.
The ears of the listeners rang from it.
The huge sword appeared again. It was much more vigorous than before.
Both sides retreated.
The safety of Anyang City, and perhaps, Great Yan itself, was tied to this woman.
Mingshi Yin knew he was no hero nor was he a righteous person. However, he felt this woman seemed dependable.
“Then, you shall die…”
A huge sword floated down from the flying chariot again.
The huge sword spun and dropped swiftly in a sweeping motion toward the city.
Li Jingyi pushed herself off the ground with her feet and shot into the horizons. She raised her fair right arm, and an umbrella-shaped protective energy appeared above her. The energy rippled and glowed, seemingly alive.
At this moment, four masked cultivators leaped down from the flying chariot.
Even the Four Great Protectors were impostors. It was clear their cultivation bases were nowhere close to the real ones.
Mingshi Yin said in a deep voice, “Master said that Li Jingyi can’t die!”
Bam!
Mingshi Yin shot toward one of the masked cultivators. The Separation Hook and Scabbard flashed in his hands.
When Duanmu Sheng saw this, he shot out like a fired arrow at the other masked cultivators. He wielded his Overlord Spear in his right hand and launched himself at his target’s face with cloud-splitting force.
“Take that little girl down!”
“Roger!”
Boom!
The Dark Heaven Starlight collided with Li Jingyi’s barrier.
Energies converged and scattered in all directions. A huge ripple that resembled a large wave spread out for 100 meters.
Li Jingyi continued to climb up in the sky. She glanced below. “Little girl, run… She raised her hand and a cone-shaped energy shot toward the masked cultivators. She intended to buy Little Yuan’er some time to flee with this attack.
However, Little Yuan’er was puzzled. ‘Do I look like such a cowardly person?’
The Cloud Feather Raiment fluttered. The energy waves dissipated into nothing when they reached her.
All of a sudden, the Nirvana Sash appeared! “The Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps!”
The red sash wrapped around two of the masked cultivators.
Everyone stared with their mouths agape. This was especially true for those cultivators who were just spectating.
‘This little girl must have an extraordinary background. She has quite a lot of treasures.’
Although the Cloud Feather Raiment was not a weapon, if it were to be graded, it would not lose to a heaven-grade weapon.
“Is this all you got?” Little Yuan’er’s Nirvana Sash hit its targets.
Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng had the upper hand now.
Li Jingyi was slightly surprised as she said, “This little girl…” At the same time, her gaze swept across Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng.
All of a sudden, a peculiar beam of purple energy shot out from the flying chariot! It resembled an energy blast but not entirely so.
Li Jingyi raised a hand and shot an energy blast of her own toward it. “It has no effect?” At this moment, she understood this peculiar purple energy was witchcraft. Moreover, it was headed toward Little Yuan’er…
Everything happened too quickly. Only a few seconds had passed since Little Yuan’er had leaped in and attacked.
“Alas, little girl. I’ve done my best!” Li Jingyi looked up and continued to fly toward the flying chariot.
To catch bandits, one would first have to catch the ringleader!
