Chapter 205: Chapter 204: Feeling Surrounded by Love, So Blissful

The situation seemed to have taken a turn, so after a moment of thought, Yue Xi took out her phone.

She was surprised to see the call was from the one in the Forbidden Land.

As soon as she answered, the maiden’s voice came from the other end. "Chatterbox, watch me give you all a hand."

Yue Xi was taken aback, then asked, "What do you mean? Are you that Golden Giant?"

"No."

’That’s more like it.’ But before Yue Xi could ask another question, the voice on the other end added, "But it’s me in a way. We’re just cooperating for the time being."

Yue Xi was shocked again. "Who could possibly cooperate with you? On what grounds? And aren’t you afraid of being tricked?"

"It’s that Candidacy Saintess. I can’t interfere with anything outside the Array, but he can move around out there wielding the Array’s power. I’ve sacrificed a lot for you all."

Yue Xi was stunned. ’It’s actually that male Candidacy Saintess?’

’He’s helping them?’

’But why?’

"Don’t wonder why. And don’t bother trying to find him; you won’t be able to. The Mist and the Array are both under his control.

In any case, he really is helping, so you all should retreat quickly. I have no idea what this person will ultimately do. But he has already agreed to destroy the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.

A person like him shouldn’t go back on his word," the Forbidden Land Maiden said.

Yue Xi was horrified. "What are you talking about? Destroy the Ten... Destroy that thing?"

She had been about to say Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit, but it wasn’t appropriate to speak the name, so she changed her words at the last moment.

The voice on the other end chuckled. "I think his ideas were wrong. Besides, resurrection is no longer necessary for me. He’s already dead.

Things are quite nice as they are now."

Yue Xi fell silent. Anyone could have made that decision, but for the Forbidden Land Maiden to be the one to do so... Yue Xi found it a bit hard to accept.

This was her greatest chance at resurrection. By giving it up, she might never be revived in this lifetime.

But Yue Xi didn’t dwell on it. She led Jingyue and Su Qi away from this place.

Golden Armor didn’t try to stop them, and the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit remained motionless.

It seemed to be waiting for Golden Armor to deal with the obstruction.

Golden Armor stabilized his stance. No one could see the expression on his face beneath the Golden Soft Armor.

But inwardly, he was shocked. His opponent had suddenly grown much more powerful.

He then looked at the ground, as if he could see the Grand Array through the earth below.

The entire Grand Array had been mobilized, and this person was borrowing the Array’s power.

’But how is this possible?’

’Even with help from the one in the Forbidden Land, this should be impossible. Arrays aren’t something just anyone can comprehend.’

"I don’t care who you are, but for daring to obstruct the Holy Land’s most important business, dying once won’t be enough for you." With that, Golden Armor waved his hand, and a Golden Light shot into the sky.

Then, several figures in Silver Armor appeared beside him, each bearing their own unique number.

Jiang Zuo watched the figures in Silver Armor appear, feeling not the slightest ripple of emotion.

He took out an Eighth-Grade Spirit Stone, cut open his chest, and then shoved the Spirit Stone inside.

He needed to control the Array, and with his current Cultivation, he couldn’t afford even the smallest expenditure of energy.

But an Eighth-Grade stone was more than enough to cover the cost.

After inserting the Spirit Stone, he used the Array to seal his wound.

The Array also began to continuously heal Jiang Zuo.

Then, from within the Mist, Golden Giants began to rise one after another. The sounds of dragon roars, tiger growls, and even phoenix cries occasionally echoed around them.

Before long, sixteen Golden Giants stood before Golden Armor.

Beside each Golden Giant was the phantom of a Four Symbols Sacred Beast.

Golden Armor frowned. "The Four Symbols Square Array? No, it’s the Mijie Sacred Image. How is that possible?"

How could he not know what the Mijie Sacred Image was? But what was going on with it appearing in this state? He had never heard of such a thing.

Even the maiden in the Forbidden Land was stunned. She could sense that the Mijie Sacred Image wasn’t being generated by the man’s Cultivation, but was purely condensed from the power of the Array.

’The Array in my home has this function?’

’I never even knew.’

It was only then that she realized this person’s attainments in the study of arrays had long since reached the pinnacle of perfection—a state of true Mastery.

’Why would someone like him need my help?’

’Can he really be just a Tier One Cultivator? But... that’s too terrifying!’

It was more than terrifying; it was simply unbelievable.

Meanwhile, in the Holy Beast Lake, Xuanwu stared at the sky in shock. That was definitely the Mijie Sacred Image, but could the Mijie Sacred Image even do something like this?

It had never heard of such a thing.

Still, it had been prepared to act. A moment ago, it had almost rushed out to help Yue Xi.

Thankfully, she was all right.

It was a Holy Beast, after all, and had its own trump cards.

At that moment, Golden Armor was already leading his people in a charge toward the Mist, but how could the Golden Giants possibly let them have their way?

The sixteen giants swung their swords in unison, their attack sweeping across the land. A great battle erupted in an instant.

The entire Holy Land trembled from the force of the clash.

By this time, Yue Xi had led the Saintess and the Candidacy Saintess to a safe location.

Su Qi, however, was unexpectedly spacing out.

"Little Miss Poutyface? Little Miss Poutyface?" Jingyue called out.

Su Qi finally snapped out of it. She looked at Jingyue and said, "What is it, Senior Sister?"

"I should be asking you what’s wrong. What were you spacing out about?" Jingyue asked.

Su Qi shook her head. "I just felt something strange a moment ago."

Jingyue was curious. "Strange?"

Su Qi nodded. "Yeah. I suddenly thought of my husband. Um, how do I put it... I felt loved. Or rather, surrounded by love.

It was a blissful feeling."

Jingyue laughed. "Are you saying the one who just saved you was your husband?

Or that the one challenging the authority of the Holy Land all by himself is your husband?

Wow, if you think about it that way, does that mean the one who tried to kill you was also your husband?

Friendly fire?"

Su Qi snorted. "Your husband would kill you! I refuse to believe my husband would ever try to kill me. With such a beautiful wife, would he have the heart to? He wouldn’t even dare to entertain the thought."

This made Jingyue laugh even more heartily.

But she hadn’t been laughing for long before Yue Xi tapped her on the head. "Stop joking around. Jiang Zuo called not long ago to check on you both. By the way, what’s this about Xiaojiu being killed?"

Jingyue then told her about the Yin Yang Fish during the ritual, as well as their life-and-death battle with someone on the sixth floor.

Yue Xi frowned. "So, you’re saying Xiaojiu took a fatal blow but came out perfectly fine?"

Su Qi nodded. "I don’t know what happened either. It was as if the attack never hit me. Or maybe something protected me?"

Yue Xi asked, "Do you have any Life-Protecting Treasures on you?"

Su Qi shook her head. "I gave my Life-Protecting Treasure to my husband."

Yue Xi’s gaze then fell on her hairband. "Let me see that hairband."

"Uh..." Su Qi said in surprise. "My husband gave this to me."

Yue Xi paid her no mind and directly scanned the Hairband with her senses.

However, after just a moment, she recoiled.

It was truly just an ordinary hairband.

Yue Xi didn’t dwell on it further. It was probably due to Su Qi’s special status as a Candidacy Saintess.

’And to think I was just wondering if Jiang Zuo might be some kind of hidden master,’ she thought. ’But if he were, he wouldn’t have needed to ask for Su Qi’s Daoist title. Only an ordinary person would be curious enough to ask about something like a Daoist title. As for the business with the Saintess, Jiang Zuo was fishing where there were plenty of Holy Land Disciples. He also had special privileges, so there must have been a crowd of gossips around. It would be perfectly normal for some curious details to have been revealed to him then. Even calling me to ask about it might have just been his way of showing off. Definitely the mentality of an ordinary person.’
