Timely Return
Chapter 1285 Timely Return
Yunxi didn't care what kind of uproar her words would cause in the Yunming Immortal Realm. She used the spatial passage constructed by the stone mortar to fill the space, then retreated unscathed and returned to her own Weiyuan Immortal Realm without any burden.
As soon as Yunxi stepped out of the teleportation gate, she felt a pulling force on her wrist, and the "Soul-Binding Silk" reappeared. Before she could take a second step, she disappeared from the spot.
When Yunxi reappeared, she found herself beside Difei. However, Difei was currently engaged in a fierce attack on a formed array wheel, and upon noticing Yunxi's appearance, she only managed to utter a few words:
"Ranxi, come help quickly!"
Yunxi released her divine sense to sense the situation and knew that now was not a good time to reminisce. With a flick of her wrist, she grasped the Seven Star Deadly Staff and swung it heavily during a gap in Di Fei's attack.
A loud "bang" resounded throughout the sky, and the rotating blood-red array wheel paused for a moment, a crack appearing at the point where Yun Xi attacked.
Yunxi was satisfied with the effect of her attack. She poured pure immortal energy into the Seven Star Deadly Staff again, activating the Seven Stars at the same time. She then said to Difei beside her:
"Difei, let's attack at the same time."
While replenishing her soul power, Di Fei sensed that Yun Xi's strength had increased again. As the other party spoke, she also poured all her soul power into the bone whip in her hand and shouted "Good!"
The next instant, the two attacks landed simultaneously on the point where Yunxi had first attacked. The collision between the array wheel and the two forces caused a huge energy fluctuation. The ghost immortals enveloped by the array wheel clutched their heads and began to wail, clearly unable to withstand the aftershocks of the battle.
Yunxi flashed into the air and pressed her advantage, swinging her staff again. The golden staff, imbued with the power of seven laws, struck the same point with force, and the booming sound once again resounded throughout the sky, illuminating the night sky.
The cracks on the array wheel had begun to spread, but the array wheel still did not shatter. However, this attack also allowed Yunxi to see the starry night sky, and she then communicated with the immortal spirit grass in her dantian:
"Immortal spirit, lend me a hand. This time, my immortal energy cannot be cut off, or I will suffer a backlash."
Previously, when Yun Xi broke through to the middle stage of the Immortal Lord realm in the Cloud Cry Immortal Domain, the Immortal Spirit secretly intercepted a wave of Immortal Essence. Otherwise, Yun Xi's breakthrough wouldn't have made such a big fuss. However, before he could even warm up the Immortal Essence he had obtained, he had to give it away again. He was a little resentful, but still replied:
"Don't worry, when have I ever held my master back?"
After saying that, he sent the compressed and purified immortal energy into Yunxi's meridians.
Yunxi leaped up again, emerging from the only crack in the array wheel. She then lit up the seven stars on the Seven Star Deadly Staff, silently chanting "Seven Stars Shining the Sun." Using the seven stars on the staff to guide the seven stars in the sky, she drew upon the power of the stars and, taking advantage of her descent, struck the array wheel without hesitation.
The seven stars in the sky twinkled behind Yunxi until they remained bright. The immense power of the stars was guided through the Seven Star Deadly Staff to the entire array wheel. With a "click," it entered Yunxi's ears like heavenly music.
Then, right before everyone's eyes, countless cracks appeared on the blood-red array wheel, until they spread to the entire array wheel. The array wheel only lasted for two more times before it completely collapsed, and the suction force that drew soul power slowly dissipated.
Only after the last array pattern disappeared did the entire night sky return to calm, and then Yunxi heard cheers coming from the ghost immortals below.
Di Fei also appeared beside Yun Xi, smiling so wide her eyes disappeared as she said:
"Ranxi, you came back just in time. You truly deserve to be called the 'nemesis of evil immortals'."
At this moment, Yunxi's divine sense had spread out, and she discovered that besides the array wheel they had just shattered, there were seven other array wheels operating within the Ghost Domain, but other Ghost Kings were already dealing with them. She raised an eyebrow and said:
"Difei, how long have I been missing?"
Di Fei then stopped smiling and said:
"Three hundred years."
After hearing this, Yunxi tested her bone age and found that it had only increased by twenty years. She figured there must be a time difference between different immortal realms. However, she was quite satisfied with the fact that her bone age hadn't increased much.
Di Fei continued, "Because you previously adjusted the 'Nine-Round Sacrifice Array' that the Evil Immortal had secretly set up in Shuiqian City, Baili Yanque secretly investigated according to the directions you marked and discovered that the protective arrays of the five cities had been tampered with."
However, you had already disappeared by then. In order not to alert the evil immortals in the shadows, the Ghost King of Baili found a formation genius named Cao Yi from the Central Immortal Realm. Moreover, this person was once your friend and had received the formation inheritance from the Inheritance Palace, after which his strength greatly increased.
He had secretly gone to Shuiqian City to see the formation you had adjusted. He said he wasn't confident he could make it so flawless, but he could find its weak points. As long as we could attack those weak points simultaneously, we could destroy the formation. Once the formation wheels were damaged, the complete 'Nine-Wheel Sacrifice Formation' could not be activated.
Yunxi immediately understood why Cao Yi said that. She used divine script when she modified the sacrificial array. Cao Yi did not have mastery of divine script, so he naturally could not do what she did. However, destroying the array would achieve the same goal, but it would alert the evil immortals in the shadows.
Sure enough, Di Fei frowned and said the next moment:
"After careful consideration, Baili Ghost King decided to strike first and then deployed his men to destroy the formations of the five cities at the same time. However, we did not touch the formation of Shuiqian City, so we pretended not to have discovered it."
Yunxi rubbed her fingers together and said:
"The array of this city has been activated; it seems the evil immortal also had a backup plan."
Di Fei gritted her teeth and said:
"Yes, although we destroyed the formations of five cities, the 'Nine-Round Sacrifice Formation' was still activated. The Ghost Emperor of the Demon Realm protected the Ghost Immortals of the Ghost Realm, while the other eight Ghost Kings rushed to their respective formation wheels to destroy the formations."
Fortunately, the evil immortal didn't notice the alteration of Shui Qiancheng's formation. A quarter of an hour later, your backup plan took effect. The 'Nine-Round Sacrifice Formation' could no longer absorb the soul power of the immortals in the entire Ghost Realm and began to reverse, giving us a chance to destroy the formation.
Yunxi nodded in satisfaction and looked at Difei, saying:
"Why weren't we sent you more helpers, so that a ghost immortal with the strength of a Celestial Lord could destroy the formation?"
Di Fei shrugged and said:
"The Ghost Emperor said my helper would arrive soon, and then he sent me over. Then the 'Soul-Tethering Silk' you tied to my wrist started to move, so of course I had to pull you over quickly. As it turns out, my decision was wise and decisive."
Yunxi smiled slightly and said:
"Then you should thank me. If we hadn't pretended to be Daoist partners and tied the 'Soul-Binding Thread' to disguise our identities, you wouldn't have been able to sense my return immediately and bring me here to help."
Di Fei smiled sweetly:
"You're right, the credit is yours. Thank you for your help, Immortal Lord Ranxi."
Yunxi waved her hand and said:
"Let's go check if the other array wheels have been destroyed."
Getting down to business, Di Fei's expression turned serious as she said:
"No need, we just need to guard this area to prevent the evil immortal from launching a counterattack."
The next moment, a venomous voice entered Yunxi's ears:
"You're still alive!"
My darlings, I spent another morning with my mom for tests today. This time she had an MRI and a carotid angiography. We won't get the results until the day after tomorrow for a definitive diagnosis. It's been really exhausting! Thankfully, her dizziness has improved. Thank you all for your concern. I'll try to update as much as possible, but I'll be going to the hospital a lot lately, so updates will be quite late. You can check back the next day if you like. Goodnight!
