The Heaven-Breaking Spear?

The mention of the Heaven-Breaking Spear reminded Liuyue Xue that she had a Divine Artifact.

But the Divine Artifact had been left back at her sect. They said the transmission of its legacy wasn’t fully recorded yet, so she couldn’t take it with her for the time being.

So, Liuyue Xue could only shake her head.

Liu Yiyi sighed in frustration. "Honestly... What about Blade Master Hai Bian?"

"He went in," Liuyue Xue said, a rare utterance from her.

That’s right. With his Tier Three strength, Blade Master Hai Bian had gone in long ago.

So, who else was powerful enough?

Liu Yiyi thought about it. Of all the powerful people from the group who had come, it seemed only the two of them were left. And they were completely out of options.

At that moment, Jingyue had already taken what she needed and was heading to the Blood Demon Grand Array alone.

Others couldn’t get in, and even if they could, they would only hold her back. So it was better for her to go in by herself.

The information also indicated that only one person could make the attempt.

No matter how others tried to persuade her, she wouldn’t listen.

"Saintess, you’re being too willful!" the fair-skinned young man roared. "Martial Uncle said we can’t let you take this risk!"

Hearing this, Jingyue stopped. She turned back and smiled. "Just this once. I’ll be willful just this one time."

Then, Jingyue vanished from their sight. If she was determined to be willful, no one here could stop her.

If anyone was to blame, it was them for being too weak.

Bai Muhua, the only male among the new generation of Holy Land Disciples.

He had become a Holy Land Disciple entirely by coincidence.

The story went that a senior from the Holy Land was traveling when she saw a little girl so cute it was off the charts. She insisted on taking the child as her disciple.

After discussing it with the child’s family, she took the little one with her.

However, after bringing the "little girl" back to the Holy Land and spending some time with "her," the senior was shocked to discover that this was a boy. A boy.

And so, he naturally became a Holy Land Disciple.

Most Holy Land Disciples were female. It wasn’t that men were forbidden, it just felt out of place, so it was rare.

And that boy was, of course, the present-day Bai Muhua.

He watched the direction where Jingyue had disappeared, wishing he could follow her. But reason told him he needed to stay calm; acting rashly would only make things worse.

「Early the next morning」

In Jingyue’s villa, Su Qi, who was supposed to be in seclusion, suddenly woke up.

She looked at the Misfortune Coin beside her with a helpless expression. ’Can this coin be used as an alarm clock? But isn’t it a little too early?’

Su Qi checked the time and saw it was just past five.

She then decided to go find her senior martial sister to chat.

But she searched the entire villa and couldn’t find a single person. A bad feeling began to rise in her heart.

She immediately called Xiao Xiaomo, who had also just woken up.

But she quickly learned about the situation.

’The Holy Land attacked the Blood Demon Base Camp in the middle of the night? How could this be?’

Xiao Xiaomo was surprised, but Su Qi’s mind was reeling.

Her master and senior martial sister had gone to fight the Blood Demons behind her back. And they had done it on purpose, intentionally excluding her.

Without a second thought, Su Qi headed straight for the Blood Demon’s territory.

"Jiu Xi, wait for me at the entrance to the Blood Demon territory. I have something to give you, something very important."

After hanging up, Xiao Xiaomo called to wake up Chen Yi and Liu Yu. "You two good-for-nothings! Something this big happened last night and you didn’t know? When you should be sleeping early, you stay up all night. When you should be on watch, you sleep earlier than pigs!"

Chen Yi replied helplessly, "Boss, stop yelling, let’s get down to business. We’ll head to the Perception Department now. You take the item and meet up with Fairy Jiu Xi. If you can’t find her, we’ll help you locate her."

Xiao Xiaomo said, "If you screw this up, I’ll kill you."

Meanwhile, Jiang Zuo was still standing before the army of thousands. He had been standing there for half the night.

The reason he stood there for so long was that he needed to see the flow of the great power in this place.

That’s right, a great power existed within the palace, which was why it could suppress and even replace the original great power of this area.

And if he wasn’t mistaken, the foundation of this great power was this very army of thousands.

As long as he could see through the ripples of the great power emanating from this army, Jiang Zuo could simulate the specifics of the great power without needing to see the whole picture.

And he had spent almost the entire night until, finally, he saw it. He saw the complete pattern of how the ripples of the great power propagated.

He now completely understood the situation with the great power here. Leaving was now as simple as a wave of his hand.

But after he understood this place and looked once more toward the throne at the very front, he felt a trace of regret.

This regret did not belong to Jiang Zuo, but to the collective of the great power itself.

The great power here was not whole, or rather, not perfect, because everything about it was tinged with a hint of regret.

It wanted to fill this void, yet it was forever unable to do so.

It was a kind of regret that one could never let go of, similar to a faith that had lost its anchor.

Jiang Zuo sighed, then slowly walked toward the throne.

Walking into the army of thousands was tantamount to trespassing into this special great power of heaven and earth. The slightest misstep would result in being crushed to pieces.

However, Jiang Zuo had already mastered the patterns of the great power. He could move freely here.

But the reality was different from what he expected. The great power couldn’t stop him, but the army of thousands regarded him with hostility.

As he stepped within range of their ranks, Jiang Zuo felt as if all the stone statues had come to life. They were all looking at him, poised to strike, their killing intent overwhelming. The majesty of a king was not to be violated.

Jiang Zuo looked coldly at these statues, and finally took out the Spiritual Talisman of King Qin Wu from his storage space.

The moment the Spiritual Talisman appeared, all the statues froze as if an Immobilization Technique had been cast on them. They were stunned, even dumbfounded.

After a moment of stupor, all the statues seemed to consciously return to their original positions.

They stood solemnly, facing forward, like soldiers ready and waiting for the order to march into battle.

Every one of them was different now; it was as if they were about to come to life. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

They were still stone statues, but now they had military discipline, military might, and even a military soul.

Outside, everyone subconsciously stopped fighting.

Because just now, all the palaces had begun to shake.

And the moment the palaces trembled, all the patrolling soldiers took their positions. From this moment on, any who trespassed in the palaces would be killed without mercy.

Even the outermost patrol teams, which had been suppressed until now, erupted with a terrifying aura.

This change was beyond the Holy Land’s expectations, and even more so beyond the Blood Demons’ expectations.

This was especially true for the Fifth Elder. He had been relying on the Command Array Pattern to empower himself, allowing him to fight on par with the previous Saintess. But now, for some unknown reason, that empowerment had been cut in half.

The Fifth Elder shouted in a rage, "Sixth, you stupid bastard! Instead of helping me kill the old one first, you’re off messing with the young one? Is your brain still broken?

If you don’t get over here and help me, then after I’m dead, you can just wait to be killed by your own stupidity!"

The Sixth Elder, holding the heavily injured Jingyue, yelled back in displeasure, "ARGH! A few more hits and you would’ve been dead! I was even planning to peel your skin off and use it myself.

Honestly... Be a good girl and wait, okay? After I go help kill your master, I’ll come back to take your face. Then, your likeness will surely be passed down for generations. No need to thank me."
