Chapter 162 Variables
On the arena, a terrifying aura shot straight into the sky, shattering the barrier created by the Heaven-Turning Seal. This happened so suddenly that Ye Lan had no time to react and suffered a backlash, suddenly kneeling on the ground.
Even so, her power was still being absorbed by the Demon-Slaying Pestle, and she couldn't break free. She could only watch helplessly as her power disappeared little by little.
The moment the Heaven-Turning Seal fell, the Demon-Suppressing Pestle suddenly rushed towards Tao Tao in the magic circle and entered her body. Tao Tao was stunned and shocked. Just as she was about to ask Bai Yan, her body suddenly went out of control, and even her divine sense was sealed. Her eyes dimmed instantly.
"You..." Seeing Tao Tao's change, Ye Lan felt a sense of foreboding. The terrifying aura emanating from him made her want to run away.
However, Tao Tao appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye. The Ice Thunder Sword in his hand was enveloped in a black light, and a demonic mark appeared between Tao Tao's eyebrows. His eyes were extremely cold and full of icy killing intent.
Ye Lan's intuition told her that if she didn't leave quickly, she would surely die.
However, her body was severely injured, and her spiritual energy was so depleted that she had almost no energy left. She could only kneel down in a sorry state and watch helplessly as Tao Tao approached her step by step.
Just as Tao Tao raised his Ice Thunder Sword, and purple-black lightning crackled around the sword, emitting a soul-stirring electrical sound, a beam of green light shot from the stands. After knocking Tao Tao back with a palm strike, it shielded Ye Lan behind it, coldly staring at Tao Tao, and angrily said, "Young friend, it's fine to have a duel, why take a life?"
Ye Zhenlin looked up at Tao Tao, who had taken a step back but quickly regained her balance. He was extremely surprised. This palm strike had not hurt her in the slightest. It shouldn't be like this. How could she be unharmed with her cultivation level?
"Father, she stole my Purple Gold Acacia Bell and is trying to kill me!" Ye Lan immediately complained to Ye Zhenlin after being rescued. She was afraid that the Ye family would find out that Ye Ling was Tao Tao. Although the Ye family abandoned Ye Ling back then, the Ye family is now in decline. It would be better to have another cultivation genius.
Moreover, Ye Zhenlin has always admired Tao Tao, which makes Ye Lan very worried, fearing that one day she will be replaced.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenlin glanced at the Purple Gold Hehuan Bell clutched in Tao Tao's hand, his eyes darkening slightly. "This Purple Gold Hehuan Bell is my daughter's most prized possession. If you like magical artifacts, I have quite a few here. Why don't you choose another one?"
No matter what Ye Zhenlin said, Tao Tao remained silent and threw out the Ice Lightning Sword. Several black lightning bolts attacked, and Ye Zhenlin immediately reached out to block them and protect Ye Lan. However, when the lightning got close, he suddenly felt an unprecedentedly terrifying aura, which made him frown and urgently summon a defensive magic weapon to resist.
What exactly is this aura? You must know that he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, yet he was still intimidated by this power. No wonder Ye Lan was no match for him.
As lightning struck, Tao Tao suddenly closed his eyes and kept changing his palm seals. The magic circle on the ground began to reverse, turning from gold to black, and rapidly expanded to cover the entire area, forming a huge black barrier that trapped everyone inside.
At the same time, the ground was shaking and cracking, and the feeling that a huge thing was about to break through the soil became more and more obvious.
"A demonic cultivator... You actually associate with demonic cultivators?" Ye Zhenlin was shocked. Only at this moment did he realize what kind of power the person in front of him was. No wonder he felt a sense of oppression. It turned out that the person was a demonic cultivator.
Tao Tao's cultivation level shouldn't be this strong. Was he possessed or is he hiding his strength?
"Father, she's a demonic cultivator! She devoured the Demon-Suppressing Pestle and tried to kill me! Kill her quickly!"
Ye Lan shouted from behind, hoping that Ye Zhenlin would quickly kill Tao Tao, otherwise she would be in trouble if it was found out that the matter of the Demon-Slaying Pestle was related to her.
Before Ye Zhenlin could speak, another bolt of lightning struck. He snorted coldly, waved his hand, and a long cyan whip appeared in his palm. He then lashed out with the whip, neutralizing the lightning, and instantly leaped into the air, his target Tao Tao.
Since they are demonic cultivators, they cannot be allowed to live.
Ye Zhenlin, his killing intent palpable, showed no mercy in his attack. But just then, Mu Chen arrived on his sword, intercepting Ye Zhenlin. He pointed his sword at Ye Zhenlin and questioned, "What is the meaning of this, Clan Chief Ye?"
"What do you mean? Your disciples of the Annihilation Frost Sect colluded with demonic cultivators to break the seal. What is your intention?"
As one of the top people in Fengyuan Continent, Ye Zhenlin naturally knew what the Yanhan Sect had sealed. Tao Tao actually activated the magic array here, trapping them all here. What else could it be but to rescue that monster?
"Then it's still not right for Clan Chief Ye to take action."
"You really won't allow it?"
Ye Zhenlin pressed him for answers, the long whip in his hand radiating a chilling aura; he was truly intent on killing him.
"This is a matter for our Immortal Spirit Valley, so there's no need for Clan Chief Ye to take action personally." Mu Chen's tone was firm, and he was unwilling to back down, which angered Ye Zhenlin. He lashed out with his whip, and Mu Chen immediately revealed his true form to fight him.
At the same time, black teleportation arrays appeared everywhere. A group of people dressed in black robes emerged from the arrays, killed the cultivators next to them with a wave of their hands, and began an indiscriminate attack.
"It's a demonic cultivator!"
Someone cried out in surprise, but before they could even speak, a black dagger pierced through their body. Immediately afterward, a graceful woman in a black robe walked out, glanced at the others, and her ethereal voice pierced the air, reaching everyone.
"Gentlemen, I'm sorry to bother you. This is where you will be buried."
As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and a group of demonic cultivators rushed out of the magic array and attacked everyone. Upon seeing this, the senior elders of various sects immediately responded and ordered them to retreat quickly.
Unfortunately, this place is already shrouded in a barrier, and anyone who gets close to the edge will be immediately burned to ashes by the black flames, making it impossible to escape from here.
These demonic cultivators had clearly made thorough preparations and were just waiting for this moment to strike.
"Junior Sister has Master on her side. We must kill the demonic cultivators first and not let them cause trouble." Feng Yue said immediately when she saw the situation. The senior brothers and sisters of Immortal Spirit Valley fought against the demonic cultivators at the first opportunity. Naturally, the others could not stay out of it. Now that things had come to this, they had to do their best, otherwise they might lose their lives here.
Qian Wenyang slapped the attacking demonic cultivator away with a backhand, and looked at You Yunzi with a worried expression, "It's the same as Senior Brother's plan. They really came for him. But the seal has been broken. He will come out sooner or later. Are you sure you can seal him again?"
You Yunzi, abandoning his usual carefree attitude, became serious. "It's hard to say, but we have no choice but to give it a try. Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen."
After saying this, You Yunzi turned his gaze to the arena, where Tao Tao was being swallowed by a black aura, and her whole appearance had changed. Especially when she suddenly raised her eyes and glanced at him, he suddenly had a sense of familiarity.
"It's him……"
