As Long Zining gave the order, the other people from the Moon Star Middle World transformed into their original forms. Their strength surged, and they no longer bothered with Yaozhu. Instead, they charged desperately towards Bai Shengyi and Qin Si.
Tian Shu, Yue Bufan, Qian Ying, and others found themselves struggling to cope.
“Fellow Daoist Bai, I’ll help you!” Wen Bùtíng, seeing this, ceased his observation. He summoned his weapon and plunged into the crowd.
Long Zining angrily declared, “Anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed!”
She said this to her own teammates, and also to Wen Bùtíng and the cultivators of Xunming Continent who had not yet joined the fray.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing her words, the previously silent cultivators of Xunming Continent were met with a scoff from their leader.
“The people of Moon Star are quite arrogant! Don’t forget, this is Chongyuan’s territory!” Xun Yu couldn’t stand Long Zining’s overbearing nature. Moreover… his gaze lingered on the man protecting Bai Shengyi, and he said in a low voice, “Go, and properly teach the people of Moon Star some manners.”
Those behind Xun Yu immediately organized and charged forward.
The cultivators he brought were all at the Void Breaking realm and above. As soon as they joined the battle, the situation dramatically shifted. Bai Shengyi and his allies, who had held the upper hand, and even Long Zining and her group, who were locked in combat with Qin Si, were now forced to retreat step by step.
Long Zining’s beautiful face was clouded with gloom.
The situation today, she feared, would not end peacefully.
Just as she thought this, a piercing scream came from Lin Qingyu’s direction.
“Yaozhu!”
The magnificent, enormous phoenix seemed to ignite, burning brightly. In the center of the phoenix, a bird resembling a phoenix but vastly different in its nobility and sanctity was reduced to a mere skeleton by the raging crimson flames. That scream seemed to be its final lament. Soon, the skeleton turned to ash.
The bird tamer Yaozhu had fallen.
Long Zining was filled with both rage and grief. “You all deserve to die! My Moon Star Middle World will avenge this day!”
These humans were simply too arrogant!
They had actually killed their comrade right before their eyes, showing no regard for Moon Star.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you all just stay in the Divine Revelation Small World?”
Bai Shengyi, having awakened from his profound enlightenment, heard Long Zining’s words, and a sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes.
With Long Zining’s attitude, letting her leave would be like planting a time bomb in the Divine Revelation Small World. Bai Shengyi naturally did not want her to leave alive.
Bai Shengyi acted on his thoughts. The Wheel of Reincarnation Brush in his hand quickly inscribed a few characters on the Primordial Chaos Paper. Instantly, the already fierce and stalemated battlefield erupted with ten thousand beams of emerald spiritual light, bordered by dazzling golden light.
The spiritual lights emitted a distant, vast cry, as if originating from ancient times.
Long Zining couldn’t help but recall Bai Shengyi’s previous move, “Seal of Reincarnation.” Her expression changed drastically. She spat out a luminous dragon pearl from her mouth to block in front of her, but it was too late.
“Bang!”
Long Zining was violently slammed backward by the spiritual light!
Following this, the other people from the Moon Star Middle World were also sent flying by Qin Si, Qian Ying, and the others.
“After thousands of years, have the Dragon, Fox, and Cat tribes also fallen to this extent?” Lin Qingyu fanned himself with his peacock feather fan, speaking sarcastically. “Still the top races of the Moon Star Middle World? It seems they are nothing special now. If I were you, I’d wisely get out of the Universal Secret Realm.”
Qian Ying, Yue Bufan, and Tian Shu stood beside Bai Shengyi without speaking, but they looked warily at Xun Yu and his group standing beside them.
Long Zining’s face turned ashen with anger. “The Universal Secret Realm is a masterless realm. On what grounds do you monopolize it?”
Did she think they didn’t know that the people of the Purple Yellow Middle World were also few, with only Qiao Yi and a few others left? If their Moon Star Middle World people left, this Universal Secret Realm would likely belong to the Chongyuan Middle World!
Even now, Long Zining did not take the Divine Revelation Small World seriously, viewing it merely as an appendage of the Chongyuan Middle World.
“Who told you the Universal Secret Realm is masterless?” Qin Si, having consumed the pill given by Bai Shengyi, spoke up abruptly.
The implication in his words sent a shock through everyone.
Long Zining exclaimed even louder, “What do you mean? The Universal Secret Realm was originally the abode of gods, but as everyone knows, the gods perished after the ancient era. If the Universal Secret Realm isn’t masterless, then what is it?”
Qin Si coldly curved his lips into a smile. “Naturally, it has an owner.”
He looked at the desolate land beneath his feet.
This was once the dwelling place of gods, a rare blessed land. It should have been covered in spiritual herbs and flowers, exuding potent spiritual energy, and shimmering with all sorts of treasures. Yet, no one who entered the secret realm could utter such insincere praise for the Universal Secret Realm.
When Qin Si merely recalled the trace of self-awareness he had sensed outside the secret realm, he couldn’t help but consider certain possibilities.
Not to mention, he had also contracted a solitary flower of the boundary wall.
The solitary flower of the boundary wall was extremely sensitive to “realms”!
Bai Shengyi said, “Why waste so much time talking with her? Let’s first…”
As she spoke, she was about to make a move. But as soon as she picked up her brush, the ground began to shake violently.
This was different from the previous earth tremors.
It was a frenzied shaking that threatened to overturn the entire Universal Secret Realm. Even the scenery around Bai Shengyi seemed to be inverting.
“What’s happening?”
“What occurred?”
Before everyone present could react, Bai Shengyi saw a pillar of black light rising from the eastern part of the secret realm.
An aura that was both extremely familiar and extremely strange.
“What is that?” Bai Shengyi merely blinked, and saw Long Zining and the others tear through space and disappear from their positions.
“They actually escaped!” Bai Shengyi frowned tightly. “Someone in their group cultivates the way of space!”
Lin Qingyu was also displeased. He glared at Qin Si. “We shouldn’t have wasted time talking to them just now. I’ll chase them!”
“I’ll go too!” Qian Ying and Yue Bufan followed him.
Tian Shu spun the Zen staff in his hand, a flicker of unease crossing his clear gaze. “Fellow Daoist Qin, did you intentionally say that to Long Zining just now?”
The heavens and earth were still shaking, and everyone was struggling to maintain their balance. Tian Shu’s words were transmitted directly into Qin Si’s ear, and even Bai Shengyi didn’t hear them.
Qin Si glanced at Tian Shu indifferently.
Tian Shu immediately understood.
“This is the aura of the Nine Revolutions Fortune Seizing Array,” Tian Shu said to Bai Shengyi and Qin Si. “This humble monk will go and investigate the situation over there. Fellow Daoist Qin, Fellow Daoist Bai, please be careful.”
Just as Tian Shu left, he saw another pillar of black light shoot up into the sky from the western side of the secret realm. Immediately after, a pillar of black light rose from the south, but with a difference: beside the southern pillar, a person in green and another in red were locked in a fierce battle.
“Master?” After Bai Shengyi’s breakthrough, her vision now extended for thousands of miles, and she immediately recognized who the person in green and the person in red were.
The one in green was Qing Lan, and the one in red was Liu Tianyun.
These two were actually fighting each other!
