Wu Xian obviously did not expect a woman to appear out of nowhere on Meng Hua Peak, so he became quite stunned – who was this little girl? Who was the “Master” she was talking about? Was it the Grand Master or the Great Divine Priest?

However, before he could even finish his thought, Zhu Yan pressed her palm against the ground and quickly chanted an incantation. In just a blink of an eye, the ground on Meng Hua Peak trembled as countless trees broke through the earth, densely packed, instantly surrounding the Terrace of Forgetfulness forming a ring of pale emerald green!

“A thousand trees!” In that moment, Wu Xian blurted out in astonishment.

This is the most profound defensive spell in Jiuyi’s martial arts, which cannot be mastered by a practitioner without years of training, yet this young girl had actually cast it out with a single stroke! Is this person really a senior disciple of the Jiuyi Temple? But since when did the Jiuyi Temple accept female disciples?

With a frown on his shaggy forehead, Wu Xian ordered bluntly, “Deal with her first!”

With a single quick motion, the Ten Wizards lifted off in unison and floated forward, surrounding the maiden in the middle of the dense ring of trees.

“I’ll be fine, I will handle these people!” Zhu Yan, however, was fearless, staring intently at the Ten Wizards, and clutching the Jade Bone in her hand without looking back, she shouted to the Grand Master, “You just have to properly heal the Master’s wounds.”

Before the words were out of her mouth, she roared and dashed ahead gripping firmly onto the sword.

“…” The Grand Master in the enclosure frowned and took a deep breath – this little girl, she was really too reckless to realize the superiority of her opponents. The Ten Wizards of the Cangliu Empire had mastered the dark arts, each of them possessed tremendous cultivation, and now that they had come together, even himself or Shi Ying, might have not been able to overcome them. And this little girl, without even a second thought, stormed forward?

However, the exuberance of Zhu Yan’s fighting strength surprised even the experienced Grand Master.

This young maiden rushed out and blocked over a hundred rounds of attacks from the Ten Wizards altogether, surprisingly gritting her teeth and not retreating a single step.

This fight continued for an unknown amount of time. By the end, Zhu Yan even fell into a sort of trance, and every simple movement, every simple incantation consumed a great deal of her strength. However, she knew that as soon as she would retreat, these people in front of her would take her Master’s life just as they already attempted a decade earlier.

The Jade Bone danced into a stream of light, encircling the Terrace of Forgetfulness in an impervious array, deflecting each of the Ten Wizards’ attacks with all its might.

Inside the Thousand Trees enclosure, the Grand Master raised his eyes to witness the scene and was slightly moved – this little girl has not even turned twenty yet, probably. She had only been at Jiuyi Mountain for four years, but she already had such a high level of enlightenment. If she hadn’t used the Star Soul Blood Oath not long ago which damaged her primordial spirit, she would probably be even greater than she is at this moment.

Shi Ying, you have really taken on a good disciple…

With a silent sigh and a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, Da Si Ming put one of his fingers on Shi Ying’s Spiritual Lingtai acupoint and pressed the other hand on the back of his heart, as the purple Qi curled around his head and rapidly restored the severely injured man.

However, on the other side, Zhu Yan was gradually struggling to maintain her strength.

After all, being young and inexperienced in actual combat, not to mention not knowing how to deal with a formation involving more than one person, she simply charged ahead, attacking preemptively and constantly forcing back her opponent’s attempts to come forward. However, the Ten Wizards, with their experience, quickly learned her weaknesses and rather than rushing in, they simply teamed up to drain her spiritual energy.

Finally, a gap was detected.

Zhu Yan launched the Sunset Arrow, swiftly forcing back Wu Peng and Wu Lang, who were close to the platform of Forgetfulness, however, doing so she left both the right and left side of her body to be exposed. In a flash, seven staffs descended, and with a loud snap, the shield of Golden Soup that protected her body shattered!

Zhu Yan stumbled forward one step and spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling that her entire body was fractured inch by inch.

It can’t be… after five years, and just like back then, she still can’t defeat these people!

How can she be so useless?

As she watched the Ten Wizards cross her line of defense and walk together towards the Terrace of Forgetfulness, she only felt a surge of wild anger and resentment in her heart, and with a shout, she pressed her palm against the ground and her whole body swiftly soared in the air, lunging at Wu Han from behind.

“Stop right there! Don’t touch my Master!” In that moment, her eyes became crimson with rage, and she recklessly closed her hands, fingertips facing each other, interlocking on her forehead, shouting, “Heavenly Punishment!”

The skies above the Meng Hua Peak suddenly brightened! Violent thunderbolts were summoned and struck down into the air like magnificent golden fireworks blasting into the group of people. The black-robed wizards staggered and took a step back simultaneously.

“Courting death?!” With a furious grimace on his face, Wu Xian led the Ten Wizards to pull back in a coordinated motion.

Ten magic staffs descended upon her in unison, and Zhu Yan received a tremendous blow that sent her entire body flying backwards, spitting out another violent mouthful of blood. However, in mid-air, a peculiar smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and suddenly she chanted something quickly and said, “Set!”

All the splattered blood suddenly stopped in the air!

“Not good!” In that moment, Wu Xian faltered, “Watch out, she’s using a blood burning spell!”

This girl, she was actually fighting tooth and nail!

The drops of blood that splashed out from her body condensed in the air like countless red beads, scattering around the Ten Wizards. Yet as she exhaled the incantation, the blood suddenly transformed into a blazing ball of flame which exploded with a bang!

With a spectacular explosion, the Ten Wizards retreated outwards in unison, three of them staggering for a moment and being struck to the ground by the spell, breaking immediately the Ten Directions Formation which had been previously formed. Taking advantage of that moment, Zhu Yan used her last bit of strength to dart across and regained control to hold guard over the entrance to the Terrace of Forgetfulness, blocking the Ten Wizards all by herself.

However, she was so exhausted that she could no longer hold herself up and fell to the ground.

Zhu Yan was panting violently, feeling that all the bones in her body were about to shatter and her mouth reeked of blood, but her heart was filled with anger and frustration – this was her first battle after finishing learning her master’s handwritten notes. How could she possibly be defeated? If she had known that these people were so difficult to fight against, she should have practiced even harder!

Yet the young disciple was unaware that it was already a miracle in Yunhuang that she was able to stand alone for so long against the Ten Wizards.

“Finish off this girl first!” Watching being blocked repeatedly, Wu Xian lost his patience and with a wave of his staff, the whole Meng Hua Peak suddenly shook and the mountain rumbled – under the pitch-black sky, only countless rustling sounds could be heard, and the grass and trees rocked like waves. Those sounds were coming from beneath the cliff and were frightening to the ears.

What is that… sound? What are they summoning?

Zhu Yan had an ominous feeling in her heart and couldn’t help but exclaim in shock at the sight of what was coming up – Oh dear heavens! There were actually countless skeletons crawling up from under the cliff!

Those skeletons had been dead for countless years and had long been withered, some of them even had incomplete limbs, yet they were all still wearing ragged divine robes, as if they were puppets on strings. Step by step, trampling on the ladder made of blades, they approached in a devious manner.

At that moment, she just felt her scalp tingle – these fellows coming up from the Western Sea had actually summoned all the fallen spirits on this mountain using necromancy!

More than nine hundred divine officials of all ages, densely packed, strode up from the bottom of the cliff on the blades that surrounded the solitary Terrace of Forgetfulness, countless pairs of empty eye sockets staring at her, expressionless.

“Kill everyone here.” Wu Xian commanded as he finished chanting the incantation.

With a swift sound, all the dead Kongsang priests turned in unison and charged towards her!

“Ah… aaaahhh!” She screamed… At the sight of those long-dead faces, Zhu Yan’s scalp tingled, and the impulse to run away almost instantly arose from her legs. However, after taking a couple of steps, she stopped in her tracks at the thought that behind her was still laying her unconscious Master – she had no choice! There was no way to put her Master in danger.

Even if it was a great disrespect, these seniors must be shredded to pieces!

She turned around, gripping the Jade Bone with renewed vigor, and rushed towards the dense mass of skeletons.

“Stay down!” Just as she was caught alone in a heavy siege for an instant, she suddenly heard a clear whistle behind her, and a bolt of lightning cracked through the air, breaking apart the entire dense black fog surrounding Meng Hua Peak!

At the most critical moment, the Grand Master finally completed the healing and rose up from the platform of Forgetfulness!

“This time, the Ten Wizards will most certainly retreat in defeat.” A voice spoke in a low tone on the distant Western Sea and brushed his sleeves – the water mirror in front of him instantly rippled in fine waves, smashing all the illusions reflected within, and the wise man whispered, “There is no need to watch further.”

The Saintess knelt to one side and shuddered slightly at those words.

“Tell the Green King that this time he has failed.” In the darkness, a pair of golden pupils flickered, glowing with a dark undertone that at first glance looked almost identical to the eyes of the God of Destruction worshipped by the Kongsang people!

“Yes.” The Saintess bowed and withdrew kneeling.

As the water mirror regained its calmness, a reflection of what was happening on Meng Hua Peak emerged – the Grand Master finally freed himself to fight alongside the young girl, the two of them fighting neck and neck with the Ten Wizards. The Cangliu Empire’s surprise attack was the only way to get into the heart of the Yunhuang Wilderness, and once they got into a prolonged battle, their chances of winning were likely to vanish.

However, where did such a girl suddenly come from that even the Ten Wizards couldn’t handle her? Where did such a variable appear from among the six clans of Kongsang? Or was it that, after seven thousand years, he had become a foreigner to his former homeland?

A multitude of complex expressions swept across the golden radiant pupils, contemplating.

Suddenly, the image in the water mirror changed – the confrontation on the Meng Hua Peak was interrupted. The clouds split and a white bolt of lightning ripped through the darkness and charged down with a mournful cry. It was the Chongming Divine Bird, carrying a dozen divine attendants on its back, storming through the mists and flying up from below the mountain!

Those reinforcements joined the action and the tables instantly turned.

As expected, in the end it was a complete failure… The Wise Lord sitting in the darkness sighed silently, raised his head to look at the night sky, and suddenly was stunned at the sight.

Yes, the entire astral landscape overhead has been changed!

The star field has changed and the Heavenly Fate has also changed. Although the Star of the Emperor in the Northern Dipper has dimmed, two great stars suddenly appear alongside it! One with a purple aura, the other one glowing in a crimson light – on a closer examination, there was a vague link between these two stars, which actually shared a common bond and intertwined their path, lighting up the entire celestial firmament.

“…” The radiant golden pupils suddenly darkened for a moment, as if they were pondering – in this world, those who can change the astral chart and conceal the stars are not many, but there are actually other superior people other than himself who can shift the astral map?!

Was it from Kongsang? Or is it from the Sea Kingdom?

“Although we have reached the end of the world, it is surprising that there are still such capable people on the land of Yunhuang…”

The voice whispered out from the darkness, muffled and deep, seemingly coming from an ancient age, “Those Kongsang people, are they desperately trying to redeem their heavenly fortune and destiny?”

“It seems that I will have to personally make a trip to Yunhuang.”
