625. Protectors of the Dharma
Hearing Cao Ying's unusually certain tone, the others were still a little confused, but the older generation all showed expressions of sudden realization.
Venerable Mingshui asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that ancestor, whose true form is a mystery, yet who has always been the hidden guardian of the Pill Tower?"
Kang Ning suddenly realized, "That's right, there were too many things happening just now, and I forgot about everything. Although the Ancestor isn't here right now, as long as the news gets out, it will surely resolve today's predicament!"
"So no matter what, we must find a way to break through this spatial restriction first." Little Fairy Doctor is still the one who can best grasp the key points of the matter.
"I have a way, but I need your help." Qing Lin's tone was very soft, and the cold energy in his hand gradually condensed, and the cold blade that had killed Ling Zhuo earlier began to slowly appear.
Everyone who heard this was secretly shocked. After all, not long ago, Qing Lin had directly killed Ling Zhuo. Not only did she not seem tired at all, but she could even manage to deal with a defense formed by dozens of Dou Zun!?
Everyone was astonished: it was one thing for Xiao Yan to be ridiculously outstanding, but the two women who were always by his side were also exceptionally talented. Normally, they simply stayed by Xiao Yan's side, but only now, in this life-or-death situation, were they willing to reveal their true abilities.
Wei Jiangyuan couldn't help but sigh, "Old Xiao is really lucky."
But then I thought, besides Xiao Yan, who else could be worthy of the two women's obedience and devotion?
Xiao Yan himself is a genius among geniuses.
After saying this, everyone resumed exchanging information and discussing how to break through the spatial defenses. Qinglin said he had a plan, but the others needed to cooperate fully.
……
Xiao Yan felt a pang of anxiety when he saw Xuan Yi, who was now under control.
"Teacher's wife!"
Xuan Yi, who was being controlled by the Spirit Clan, had not yet completely lost consciousness. Hearing Xiao Yan's call, he struggled to open his eyes.
Indeed, upon seeing Xiao Yan, she was surprised and immediately warned him, "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
As Xuan Yi became so emotionally agitated, the root-like blood threads that had been entangled around her entered her body at an even faster pace. Because Xuan Yi had been continuously exchanging her own essence and blood for Yao Qingyu over the years, she was already among the weakest of the trapped experts in the Pill Tower. At this moment, her body was also overwhelmed, and the speed at which she was controlled by the Spirit Clan increased once more.
Xiao Yan immediately said, "Master's wife, please wait! I'll find a way to rescue you right away!"
Having said that, Xiao Yan brandished a large flaming ruler and charged towards the pillar of light where Xuan Yi was. But as Xiao Yan stepped within range of the outermost pillar of light, a binding force instantly froze him completely.
"Another air ban?" Xiao Yan was also startled.
What's even more terrifying than the air restriction is that this suppression seems stronger and more domineering, firmly pinning Xiao Yan down so he can't move.
"Watch out!" a voice warned Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was also startled. He channeled his black flames into his body with all his might and tried his best to dodge, but the attack still landed. It pierced through Xiao Yan's right shoulder, instantly turning it into a bloody mess.
Xiao Yan staggered and rolled on the ground, taking advantage of the momentum. His soul power between his eyebrows fluctuated immediately, and at the same time, the injury on his right shoulder began to heal at a visible speed due to the transfer of the blood puppet.
Xiao Yan turned his head and saw the person who had attacked him. He was not too shocked. The person was Xuan Leizi, one of the three giants of the Pill Tower and the only one who was not controlled by the Spirit Clan. He was a half-saint!
Xiao Yan wasn't too surprised by this, after all, so many experts from the Pill Tower had been captured by the Spirit Clan. It was impossible for Xuan Lei Zi to have escaped. Coupled with Little Fairy Doctor's speculation, Xiao Yan was almost certain that the spy from the Pill Tower was Xuan Lei Zi!
Unexpectedly, Xuan Leizi did not go elsewhere, but stayed here specifically to protect Ling Haonan and Ling He.
"You're quite skilled indeed." Xuan Leizi said, seeing Xiao Yan dodge his fatal attack. "And the fact that you're unaffected by the air restriction is truly surprising."
"Isn't it even more surprising that the giants of the Pill Tower would risk their status to pledge allegiance to the Spirit Clan?" Xiao Yan retorted.
"What would a junior like you know?" Xuan Leizi looked at Xiao Yan with some disdain.
"Bah!" The core Pill Tower expert, controlled by the Spirit Clan's pillar of light, also cursed, "When has the Pill Tower ever owed you, Xuan Leizi? Not only do you not repay me, but you also betray the Pill Tower! If I had known this would happen, I would have killed you with one palm strike long ago!"
Xiao Yan glanced over and saw that the person who spoke was the one who had warned him to be careful earlier and helped him dodge Xuan Leizi's fatal attack.
The man was dressed in hemp clothing, his hair and beard all white, but he glared angrily at Xuan Leizi. Xiao Yan could roughly sense that among all the people in the Pill Tower, this old man in hemp clothing was the strongest. The blood energy hadn't affected him much yet, and he had several wounds on his body, clearly indicating that he had gone through a battle before being captured.
Being able to fight back against the five-star Dou Sheng Ling Hao Nan, he is definitely a hidden pillar of the Dan Tower.
Upon hearing the old man in hemp robes' accusations, Xuan Leizi wasn't angry at first. Instead, he advised, "Elder Lin, why are you so stubborn? The help the Spirit Clan provides to alchemists far exceeds your imagination."
The old man in hemp robes sneered, "Xuan Leizi, are you really a three-year-old child? If the Spirit Clan truly had a way to significantly improve the level of eighth-grade alchemists, why would they be so generous as to share it with the Pill Tower?"
"Besides, what benefits have you gained? The little bit of Spirit Clan blood in your veins is probably not even enough to support you in reaching the ninth rank. After tonight's events, what right do you, a mere half-saint, have to make the Spirit Clan continue to sacrifice members of their own race to advance you?"
"Since Elder Lin doesn't understand, then I'll prove it with my actions."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Leizi's eyes showed little hesitation. He was also a leader of the Pill Tower, and for many years one of the most powerful figures in Zhongzhou. He had already thought everything through before tonight's operation began. If he were still hesitant at this point, he was destined to fail.
Then Xuan Leizi looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Xiao Yan, my mission is to prevent any unrelated people from entering this place. Whatever your reasons, you can die now!"
Looking at Xuan Leizi before him, Xiao Yan felt extremely solemn. A genuine half-saint level expert, Xiao Yan couldn't afford to be careless. Even with the earth puppet present, this was still an extremely dangerous situation; a slight misstep could result in instant death.
