The Evil Moon's Protection
Chapter 40 The Evil Moon's Protection
Hu Liena showed no mercy to Ning Li. Ning Li was thrown to the ground, her lips swollen and red. Clearly, Hu Liena had no sense of restraint. The servants who had been beaten down by Yan and Xie Yue were also furious. They wanted to step forward to protect Ning Li, but unfortunately, a bell rang out, trapping seven or eight of them. The source of the bell was Ning Shu, who had been standing behind Xie Yue.
"A control-type Soul Master?" Yan looked over curiously and saw the illusory Nine Bells appear in Ning Shu's hand. Next to the bell, another bell split off. The two bells were different colors, but they existed at the same time. It was a dual-bell weapon spirit.
Ning Shu only has three soul rings, which clearly indicates that she is a Soul Venerable. How could a Soul Venerable control a Soul King who is over level 50?
How is that possible?
Xie Yue also cast a curious glance at Ning Shu.
Is Ah Shu really that amazing?
"Phantom Nine Bells, your martial soul has indeed changed!" The first to speak was Ning Li, who was sitting on the ground covering her mouth. She was very surprised when she saw the martial soul appear in Ning Shu's hand, but in addition to her surprise, she was also excited, and the disdain she had shown towards Ning Shu just now was completely gone.
Seeing the change in Ning Li's expression, Hu Liena couldn't help but become interested in Ning Shu's martial soul. She turned around and looked at Ning Shu, "The Nine-Bell Phantom, what kind of martial soul is that?"
She had never heard of such a martial spirit before. Not only her, but Xie Yue and Yan had also never heard of it. The two of them exchanged a glance and looked at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu didn't explain. She moved her fingers, and the Nine-Bell Phantom split into another bell. This bell was sapphire blue, and a strange pattern was engraved on its surface. The pattern emitted a pale purple light, and the lines on it were formed by the soul power emanating from Ning Shu's body. A "V" shape was crossed, and there seemed to be ripples on one side. After a while, the pattern was drawn out, and ribbon-like melodies floated up and down around Ning Shu, countless as far as the eye could see.
"Ning Shu, you're far too arrogant!"
At this moment, the servants who had been trapped by Ning Shu broke free of their control. The leader among them let out an angry shout and a powerful force burst forth from his body.
The impact shot straight at Ning Shu. Xie Yue instinctively tried to step forward to block it, but soon, "Ring ring ring—"
The music surrounding Ning Shu flew straight towards the servants the moment the bells rang. The powerful impact was dispersed, and the servants were shocked. They used their soul power to defend themselves, only to find that the attack was an uninterrupted, continuous group attack!
Why would a control-type Soul Master possess such a skill?!
Everyone was deeply surprised.
Seeing that Ning Shu could handle it herself, Xie Yue decided not to interfere. It was perfect, as he could see just how strong Ning Shu really was today. But wouldn't it be wonderful if such a special Soul Master could join the Spirit Hall?
As Xie Yue thought this, her gaze never left Ning Shu.
The servants had just fought with Yan and Xie Yue, and their soul power was no longer as abundant as it had been at the beginning. While resisting the sonic attacks, they couldn't help but send out distress signals to Ning Li. Who knew that Ning Shu's strength had increased so much in just a year and a half?
If they were to continue fighting, without Ning Li's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as support, they would definitely lose to Ning Shu.
If the other spies in the sect find out that several Soul Kings lost to a Soul Venerable, where will they put their faces?
However, Ning Li also realized that if they continued down this path, they would only lose face.
Although, it's already a disgrace.
She absolutely could not tolerate Hu Liena slapping her.
Ning Li stood up, frowned, and ordered, "Stop!"
To save face, she had to stop now. Besides, she still had conditions to discuss with Ning Shu.
"."
Ning Li gave the order, and the servants looked at each other in surprise. Ning Shu had also consumed a lot of soul power by releasing her soul skills, so she stopped. She hadn't intended to show all her strength to Ning Li at this moment.
After both sides stopped fighting, the servants returned to Ning Li's side looking dejected, each of them appearing quite unwell.
Ning Li glanced at them indifferently, then looked at Ning Shu. She opened her arms, her previous disdain gone, replaced by a slight smile, as if nothing had happened. "Shu'er, I can let today's events slide. You wanted to vent your anger, and your friends have done so for you. Come back to the sect with me. The Third Elder has been thinking of you all year; don't you really want to go back and see him?"
"."
Ning Li's attitude made a complete 180-degree turn, leaving Hu Liena completely bewildered. She returned to Xie Yue's side, looked at Ning Shu, and said nothing.
Ning Shu remained silent for a moment, without giving an immediate reply.
Ning Li has never been one to suffer a loss, and this time she was slapped three times. Who knows what kind of bad thing she's up to?
The Third Elder was indeed good to the original owner, but even if he were to go back, he wouldn't go back with Ning Li.
Ning Shu said, "Third Madam, you really have a good mentality. Can you really act like nothing happened? The grievances and hardships I suffered before were far more painful than these three slaps. Do you think I've gotten rid of my anger like this? When they were pressuring the Third Elder, you didn't say a word. How come after more than a year, you're suddenly acting all lovey-dovey, as if you love him very much and are always thinking of him? Don't you get tired?"
Ning Shu's words were highly sarcastic. The head servant behind Ning Li frowned slightly and stepped forward to reprimand her, "Ning Shu, the Third Madam is your elder. Show some respect when you speak!"
"Respect?" Ning Shu's sharp gaze locked onto the servant who had spoken. She scoffed, "Who does she think she is, my elder? Are you all out of your minds? I was expelled from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School long ago. What do you have to do with me? And what does Ning Li have to do with me? Can't you have a little self-awareness? Do you really think I'm someone you can summon and dismiss at will?"
"Ning Shu, you!" The leader's face turned ashen. He tried to step forward, but Xie Yue stepped in front of him and blocked Ning Shu's way.
They had already experienced Xie Yue's strength firsthand. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was the norm in the Soul Master world, so they dared not continue to clash with Xie Yue. There were no Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School people nearby, and they couldn't fight those spies. For now, they could only swallow this bitter pill.
"Senior, no matter who you are to A-Shu or what your purpose is, A-Shu doesn't want to go back now. If she doesn't want to, no one can force her. If you insist on taking her away by force, we will have to offend you again!"
