CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 80: MINE, ALL MINE! [SEEKING CATCH-UP READING]

BOOM!

In the void, an immense oppressive force swept across the entire Wondrous Palace. Inside Wondrous Palace, everyone felt as though they were bearing a heavy burden, unable to move. Those of lower realms could hardly even lift their heads.

"Si Nanyan, won’t you come out to meet me!"

A hearty laugh echoed from the giant shadow. Mysterious runes circulated on the figure, emitting an aura that sent shivers down one’s spine. He stood atop the sky dome, his gaze imperious.

An elder-level figure from Wondrous Palace appeared, her expression grave as she observed the attacker. Divine Soul Manifestation... a cultivator of the Divine Communication Realm. Liu Qingxuan... No, not Liu Qingxuan. Who is this person? She did not recognize the Divine Communication Realm powerhouse before her.

But it wasn’t over yet.

BUZZ!

The heavens trembled! Another oppressive force spread, sinking the hearts of all present. A giant shadow with long, flowing hair and a natural air of authority appeared from the other side.

PFFT!

With this, all those of lower cultivation within Wondrous Palace spat out blood, gravely injured.

"HMPH!"

From atop Wutong Peak, a majestic and cold snort resounded. At that moment, rolling clouds of death covered the sky. Streaks of blood-red light illuminated the sky dome, an eerie red seeping through the dark clouds. The oppressive force that loomed over everyone shattered instantly.

Feng Ruoli, dressed in a thin white gown, stepped into the void. Her beautiful eyes contained a coldness, fearlessly facing the two Divine Communication Realm powerhouses from Righteous Sun Sect. The biting cold wind whipped her long hair, further accentuating her exquisite features.

"Wang Shiyang, Xu An, you claim to follow the righteous path, yet you stoop to bullying the young." Feng Ruoli’s gaze was distant as she spoke indifferently. Her voice wasn’t loud, yet it traveled throughout the entire Wondrous Palace.

"Phoenix Palace Master!"

The people of Wondrous Palace breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Feng Ruoli appear.

"So it’s the Phoenix Palace Master."

Accompanied by a light chuckle, the two giant shadows slowly shrank, finally retracting into two human figures. It was Wang Shiyang and Xu An, who had hunted Feng Ruoli that day.

"Phoenix Palace Master, it’s been a while. How are your injuries? Have they healed?" Wang Shiyang stepped forward, lightly stroking his beard, a smile on his face.

"You are nothing but contemptible cowards, only capable of sneak attacks!" Feng Ruoli’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Phoenix Palace Master, we are not here for you today," Wang Shiyang chuckled, his demeanor still calm.

"Elder Wang, there’s no need to waste words on this demoness. Kill her!" The young-looking Xu An, however, had no desire for further verbal sparring. He raised his hand, and countless thunderbolts wildly flashed across the sky dome.

RUMBLE!

Thick silver dragons, as wide as buckets, roared down from the clouds, raining down densely below.

Below, everyone from the Wondrous Palace cried out in alarm. Such a confrontation between Divine Communication Realm powerhouses was beyond their ability to interfere. They could only look up in horror.

"Xu An, you are looking for death!" Feng Ruoli waved her hand gently, and in front of her, streaks of blood-red light immediately condensed into a sword.

"Go!"

With a light shout, the Blood Sword soared into the sky, drawing several perfect arcs in the air, forming a dazzling rain of swords.

SIZZLE!

Blood-red radiance and boundless thunder collided, instantly erupting with an earth-shattering boom. The vast expanse of thunder was obliterated by the blood-red sword light! Then, without hesitation, it continued, slashing directly at Xu An.

After all, Xu An had only recently broken through to the Divine Communication Realm and was a step weaker than Feng Ruoli in terms of strength.

"Phoenix Palace Master, have you forgotten about this old man?" Seeing this, Wang Shiyang snorted coldly. "Compassionate Palm!"

In the void, a golden palm emerged, fiercely slapping downward. Wherever the golden palm passed, the void appeared to shatter inch by inch, turning into endless fragments. An unrivaled aura instantly shattered the blood-red sword net.

BOOM!

Feng Ruoli was struck from the sky, plummeting toward the ground. Despite her strength, how could she be a match for two cultivators of the Divine Communication Realm?

"Phoenix Palace Master!"

All the people of Wondrous Palace, their expressions changed dramatically once again. Si Nanyan had not yet emerged from seclusion. If Feng Ruoli was defeated, then the prospects for Wondrous Palace were more bleak than bright.

"Sect Protection Array! Activate!" Just then, blood trickled from Feng Ruoli’s mouth, but her hands were forming seals rapidly. This Sect Protection Array could be controlled by a token, but it could also be activated through incantations.

BOOM!

All at once, from the four outermost peaks of Wondrous Palace—those to the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest—dazzling beams of light erupted skyward. Above the beams, dense and complex array patterns emerged, interwoven into a net. Finally, they formed a gigantic light shield that completely enveloped Wondrous Palace. A seven-colored, glazed radiance burst forth, dazzling and splendid.

"So there’s still the Sect Protection Array." Seeing the Sect Protection Array activated, everyone within Wondrous Palace breathed a sigh of relief once again. Their emotions fluctuated unpredictably. This grand array was the foundation upon which Wondrous Palace had been established. Even those in the Divine Communication Realm couldn’t forcefully breach it.

Feng Ruoli’s face was deathly pale. She seized this opportunity to regulate her breath.

"Sect Protection Array." Wang Shiyang and Xu An, who stood outside the array formation, however, remained unfazed. Last time, they were stopped by this array method, but this time was different. Zou Xiaoqing had just taken possession of the palace master’s token. Feng Ruoli probably didn’t know this yet.

"Hahaha, Phoenix Palace Master, do you really think this Sect Protection Array can still stop us?" Wang Shiyang said with a slight smile. A token appeared in his palm, its spirit light flickered faintly.

"What!" Feng Ruoli looked up, her expression instantly changing. The others inside Wondrous Palace were thrown into an uproar.

That was...

"The Palace Master’s Token!" someone cried out in fear. What was going on!

"Sect Protection Array, disperse!" Wang Shiyang smiled faintly as he saw this, and the token in his hand glowed brightly. At that moment, the Sect Protection Array that had just been activated began to slowly deactivate. The glazed light shield dissipated, leaving Wondrous Palace completely exposed.

"Hahaha! What a treasure." Wang Shiyang laughed heartily. At last, with this treasure in hand, they no longer needed to tread carefully.

Xu An, standing to the side, frowned slightly. It all seemed a bit too easy.

BOOM!

At that moment, atop Soul Devouring Peak, an extremely profound aura surged toward the heavens. The majestic presence vibrated, as if bearing the sound of Heaven and Earth.

"Elder Xu, this is bad! That demoness is about to break through! Kill her!" Wang Shiyang was instantly alarmed. Without any hesitation, he charged towards Soul Devouring Peak within Wondrous Palace. He couldn’t even be bothered with Feng Ruoli below.

Although Xu An felt something was amiss, he had no choice but to join the assault.

Watching the two enter the range of the array formation, Feng Ruoli’s beautiful eyes finally narrowed slightly. Good, they took the bait. She lightly wiped away the blood at the corner of her mouth. If she couldn’t capture these two this time, it would be a considerable loss.

...

Meanwhile, Ning Shan, as Wen Zhixing had transformed into her, paid no heed to what was happening outside. He made his way to Pill Refining Peak on his own. This was where a large quantity of elixirs were stored.

Mine, all mine! His eyes gleamed. If he could take away all those elixirs from Wondrous Palace, his cultivation would skyrocket!
