CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 60: SO STRANGE!

"Even if heaven collapses, he’s just a third-stage Qi Movement Realm practitioner. With absolute strength, the traps he sets up are so crude they’re unbearable to look at."

"If it weren’t for wanting to investigate the mysteries behind him, I would’ve just killed him with one strike!"

You can’t do it!

Zhao Yi thought to himself with disdain.

Miaoyin Daoist is indeed exceptionally talented.

So far, Zhao Yi has only seen Zuo Xiaoluo who can compare to her.

But she wants to kill the protagonist with one slap.

Zhao Yi seriously doubts it!

This is not to say the protagonist is more powerful than Miaoyin Daoist.

Rather, one cannot fight against destiny.

The protagonist is like the favored son of heaven.

As long as his luck hasn’t been fully stripped away,

nobody can kill him!

Zhao Yi asked, "What do you mean by saying that monk is ruthless?"

Miaoyin Daoist replied, "The traps set by that monk can’t harm my people, but they’re more than enough for Yao Qing. Plus, she never expected that monk would harm her, stepping right into the trap, almost losing her life! If it weren’t for my people secretly helping, she’d be dead by now!"

After saying this, Miaoyin Daoist added, "So, I think our previous assumption might be wrong. That monk revealed his tracks not to deal with my subordinates but specifically targeted Yao Qing. It seems like he knows about your relationship with Yao Qing and deliberately used her as bait to lure you in."

Zhao Yi fell silent once again.

He realized once more the gap between him and the protagonist.

Too ruthless!

Zhao Yi decided it’s better to keep a distance from the protagonist in the future.

The protagonist can even harm his own aunt.

Let alone his uncle!

Miaoyin Daoist asked, "What do you think? Rescue her?"

"Rescue." Zhao Yi nodded without hesitation.

Not to mention Yao Qing is his first woman.

Even if it were a mere passerby.

Zhao Yi couldn’t tolerate the protagonist’s reckless slaughter!

Zhao Yi knew the purpose behind the protagonist capturing Yao Qing.

The protagonist wants that Dead Dragon Egg.

After all this time, the protagonist is still fixated on the Dragon Egg.

Indicating that something extraordinary must be hidden in that array.

Not to mention Zhao Yi has already become enemies with the protagonist.

Even if there were no prior grudge,

Zhao Yi wouldn’t hand over that Dead Dragon Egg to him.

Zhao Yi said, "He wants that Dragon Egg, but that egg is the key to breaking the Array of Protection; it must not be given to him. Let your people act, mainly to rescue the person. If the conditions are right, try again to see if you can kill him!"

Zhao Yi shook his head, "I feel the chances of success are slim, that guy is very mysterious, not easy to kill!"

Miaoyin Daoist raised an eyebrow, "From my memory, you’ve said several times he’s not easy to kill, do you know something?"

Zhao Yi first nodded, then shook his head: "Just a hunch! Can’t explain the specific reason, but the feeling is very strong."

Miaoyin Daoist, surprised, said, "That uncanny?"

After pondering for a moment, she said, "This time I’ll take action personally, I want to see just how mysterious it really is!"

Saying this, Miaoyin Daoist began to organize her people for action.

Just then.

A sudden fireworks burst on a distant mountaintop.

The fireworks were emerald green, with a small white sword in the middle, appearing very conspicuous.

It was unclear what material the fireworks were made of.

The emerald fireworks lingered in the air, not dissipating for a long time, clearly visible for miles around.

Miaoyin Daoist’s eyes shifted, pulling back her raised foot.

Looking at the fireworks overhead, she explained, "This is the Heaven-Facing Sect’s ’Heaven-Suspending Order,’ usually only activated during a major crisis in the sect. All disciples who see the token must return to aid the sect immediately, or be treated as traitors! This thing hasn’t appeared for hundreds of years; I thought it was lost, but now it’s resurfaced today!"

Miaoyin Daoist finished speaking, laughing, "Looks like we’ve found the right place, those rats are indeed all holed up here!"

Zhao Yi withdrew his gaze from the fireworks, asking Miaoyin Daoist, "Do you realize just how uncanny that is now?"

"What?" Miaoyin Daoist was taken aback for a moment.

Then, she realized, "You mean that monk?"

Zhao Yi nodded, "You just mentioned going after that monk; then the Heaven-Facing Sect’s long-lost ’Heaven-Suspending Order’ appeared here, isn’t that uncanny enough?"

Miaoyin Daoist was slightly stunned, pondering, "Could it be a coincidence?"

Zhao Yi shook his head, "Once or twice could be a coincidence, but adding up so many instances, mere coincidence is hard to explain."

Miaoyin Daoist’s eyes flickered, resolutely said, "With General Zuo overseeing here, the Xuanzhen Temple and Imperial Clan Court working together are enough to deal with those remnants! I’ll still lead people to hunt down that monk; I refuse to believe I can’t break his spell!"

Boom!

As Miaoyin Daoist’s voice just fell, a loud explosion suddenly came from the distant river.

A massive head, resembling a dragon or a snake, emerged from the water.

The serpent’s mouth opened, pouring torrents of water down.

Instantly, the barely erected camp was turned into chaos!

"Black Flood Dragon!"

Miaoyin Daoist looked at the giant beast, her expression instantly somber.

This Black Flood Dragon has been a big demon wanted by the Xuanzhen Temple for a long time.

The Black Flood Dragon is bloodthirsty and cruel, having attacked coastal fishermen many times.

The Black Flood Dragon is extremely cunning; whenever injured, it immediately flees, as timid as a mouse.

The Xuanzhen Temple besieged it several times, scaring the Black Flood Dragon into vanishing completely.

Miaoyin Daoist thought it had escaped to the sea, but unexpectedly, it was hiding in the river and even colluding with the Heaven-Facing Sect’s remnants.

Miaoyin Daoist’s gaze was peculiar: "Now I believe what you said, that guy really is uncanny!"

The Black Flood Dragon is also an eighth-stage Ascension Realm creature, if she left, Zuo Xiaoluo might suffer losses.

Of course, that’s only on the surface.

How many guards Zhao Yi has behind the scenes.

Miaoyin Daoist didn’t know!

Miaoyin Daoist quickly finished eating the grilled fish, then waved the duster.

With a solemn expression, exhibiting a dignified appearance.

"Boundless Celestial Venerable!"
