Chapter 203: Chapter 202: Jiang Zuo Takes Action

Yue Xi had cast aside all her reservations. She was going to save Jingyue, just like how she had prevented Su Qi from becoming the Saintess back then.

She wasn’t playing favorites; she wouldn’t let her two disciples take the same risk.

These two little girls should feel lucky. Lucky to have such a good master, a master who doted on them so much.

Others might go their whole lives without meeting someone like that.

’So these two girls should be a bit more obedient from now on.’

"Yue Xi, are you insane? What do you think you can do with your level of Cultivation? And you’re still heavily injured," the ordinary woman shouted.

The noblewoman said, "If she wants to go get herself killed, then let her. She has no sense of propriety."

Yue Xi turned to look at the ordinary woman. At that moment, she was holding a crystal-clear bead between her teeth. She smiled like a blossoming flower. "See? I can still go join the fun, can’t I?"

The ordinary woman said, "The... the Dao Bead? He gave that to you? Is he crazy?"

Yue Xi shrugged. "Probably. But he said the Dao Bead isn’t his Dao. This thing is just a Magical Treasure that was restricted by the Holy Land. He’s going to comprehend a Dao that belongs to him alone."

After speaking, Yue Xi bit down on the Dao Bead. "Let me just use this Magical Treasure. My precious girl is waiting for me, after all."

"You’ll die! His Dao is incomparably domineering. Your body can’t withstand it in your current state," the ordinary woman pleaded earnestly. "Give up. Don’t do anything reckless."

A smile remained on Yue Xi’s lips. She turned to leave and said casually, "He said his Dao wouldn’t hurt me. Besides, so what if I die? They’re surely hoping for me, their master, to step up for them.

The Saintess is still young. She needs someone to stand in front of her.

And the only one who can stand in front of her is me—her only master.

So, I must go.

I want her to know that her master is her master—closer than her own mother."

With that said, Yue Xi soared into the sky. In that instant, an extremely domineering aura erupted from her. This was the aura of the Dao.

This aura filled the surroundings, seeming as if it could crush everything in its path, yet Yue Xi, who was channeling it, remained completely unharmed.

At that moment, a Giant Sword that spanned the heavens and the earth appeared behind Yue Xi. This sword seemed to be the very manifestation of the Dao.

Yue Xi reached back and grabbed, and the sword was suddenly in her hand.

Then, she swung the sword at the Barrier. "My dear Xiaoyue, Master is here! Open for me!"

A brilliant sword light flared, sweeping away everything as it slashed directly onto the Barrier.

The Barrier suffered a tremendous impact, looking as if it would shatter at any moment.

But the Barrier only trembled. It seemed on the verge of breaking, yet it stubbornly held.

Jingyue also saw her master arrive. She called out to Yue Xi, "Master, I’m really touched that you’re doing this, but... please, just forget it."

Yue Xi couldn’t hear her at all. And even if she could, she wouldn’t have given up. She was determined to break the Barrier, no matter what.

Meanwhile, the people outside had no idea what was going on. ’Is the Holy Land having a civil war?’

"What’s happening?" Xiao Xiaomo asked.

’She was genuinely confused.’

Blade Master Hai Bian shook his head. "It’s probably a difference in ideology. We outsiders can’t understand it. But that person inside is the Saintess, right? It seems she has to face something."

Mo Yan said, "Boss Po Xiao is still in there. Will he make a move? I have a feeling that glowing thing isn’t necessarily a good thing."

Chi Xue Child nodded. "I think so too. It’s like some ancient ancestor has appeared and requires a sacrifice."

Chen Yi said, "I kind of hope Boss Po Xiao makes a decisive move."

Chu Qing also nodded and said solemnly, "Mhm. One must struggle against fate. My teacher said knowledge can change one’s destiny, so I’m going to study hard from now on."

Everyone: "..."

*******

Meanwhile, within the Mist, Jiang Zuo watched the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit with cold eyes. He had never expected that the one to appear would actually be the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.

The appearance of the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit was part of a pre-laid scheme. So, for something so important, why would the master of the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion leave behind such a record?

’Isn’t this just inviting people to seize the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit?’

Jiang Zuo was neither stupid nor naive. He began to doubt the master of the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion’s reasons for leaving that record behind. Or perhaps, it wasn’t left by the master of the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion at all.

He was also beginning to doubt whether the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit could truly allow him to produce Innate Chaotic Qi.

But none of that mattered. What mattered was that Su Qi was on the verge of tears.

With the help of the Array, the Mist could no longer obstruct Jiang Zuo’s vision. No Saintess’s authority could compare to his.

The only thing that could compare to him was that existence.

Fortunately, that existence hadn’t made a move, but it might notice him soon.

But Jiang Zuo didn’t care. Su Qi clearly didn’t want the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit to merge with Jingyue.

And his aunt-in-law was also desperately trying to get in and stop it. It seemed that them merging with the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit was not a good thing.

’If it’s going to make Su Qi sad, then forget the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.’

’I was able to produce Innate Chaotic Qi once. I can do it countless more times.’

The next moment, Jiang Zuo used all his current abilities to begin invading the Holy Land Array. He now needed countless array permissions—the stronger, the better.

Brute force attacks couldn’t break the Barrier. Only the right tool offered any hope of success.

Following that, countless small swords began to condense around Jiang Zuo, forming a peculiar Array.

When this Sword Array took form, Jiang Zuo waved his hand, and the Sword Array shot directly toward the Barrier.

Jiang Zuo’s massive invasion alerted the young girl in the Forbidden Land.

Pure Goodness seemed a little angry. "This person is actually causing trouble at a time like this. My subjective consciousness is very angry."

The next moment, the two figures fused directly, and the young girl appeared once more.

But before she could make a move, she was surprised to discover that the person was attacking the Barrier—and it was the part of the Barrier right in front of Yue Xi.

She, who had been about to act, instantly abandoned the thought.

’I can’t interfere with anything outside the Array. This person might be able to help the Saintess and the others.’

’He’s a bit disgusting, but I can tolerate it.’

When Jiang Zuo’s Sword Array appeared, it embedded itself directly into the Barrier. The appearance of this Sword Array stunned many people.

Everyone saw this Array fly out from the Mist.

At this moment, questions popped into the minds of many.

’There’s someone else in the Mist?’

’And not just any ordinary person?’

But no one could see what use the swords stuck in the Barrier had.

They looked far too ordinary.

However, Yue Xi, who was outside, was also stunned. Then she wondered in surprise, ’How did those swords get stuck in there?’

But just as this thought arose, the swords flashed with light. The light transformed into threads, connecting all the swords.

Then, the swords began to sink into the Barrier, and the Barrier began to disintegrate.

In Jiang Zuo’s view, one didn’t need immense power to break a barrier.

Besides, brute-forcing it wasn’t his style at all. Effortlessly dismantling it—that was what he aimed for.

’Because breaking it by force would have hurt Su Qi inside the Barrier.’

’How could I possibly do something like that?’

’Then again, it seems I almost killed Su Qi just now. In any case, I absolutely cannot let Su Qi fall into a crisis again.’
