Chapter 82, Second Restriction Lifted
Chapter 82, Second Restriction Lifted
Before the operation even began, his teammates were already gone. Now, arriving a step too late, Gao Yuan could only be thankful that he hadn't been exposed yet. Otherwise, with his current strength, he would probably be powerless against this large group of people.
Unless Gao Yuan breaks through to the Void Realm on the eve of battle, which is not a problem for him, the trouble lies in the fact that the restrictions on the island after the breakthrough are extraordinary. If he breaks through before the restrictions are lifted, the backlash will be enough to cripple his current physical body.
Gao Yuan would never do something so foolish, and he would not make any unnecessary moves before the restrictions were lifted.
However, who took care of that guy? Although it was just a puppet, it should have been more than capable of dealing with these children. Gao Yuan's gaze swept over the crowd below.
Senior Brother of the Extreme Cold Star Palace?
The first opponent Gao Yuan locked onto was someone whose strength had already reached the Jade Void Perfection stage and who could attempt to break through at any time.
However, it is unlikely. In Cao Xian's memory, their senior brother was skilled in the Wind and Cloud Sword Technique, and his natal flying sword was incredibly fast and powerful. It was possible that he could defeat that guy.
But that guy is a puppet, so even if he can't win, he can always self-destruct as a backup. And looking down, there's no sign of a fierce battle at all.
So, who made the move? It couldn't have been a gang attack, could it? Gao Yuan was once a genius himself, capable of breaking through to the Void Realm. How could he not know what a genius is like? They're all proud and arrogant; how could they possibly be willing to gang up on one person?
Daydreaming was useless. Unable to figure it out, Gao Yuan simply stopped thinking about it. He opened his fan and waved it in front of him. A smile reminiscent of Cao Xian appeared on Gao Yuan's face as he jumped off the cliff.
"Junior brother, you've come too."
"Second Senior Brother!"
Upon seeing the plateau, the members of the Extreme Cold Star Palace greeted each other. Now that the two strongest members of the Extreme Cold Star Palace were here, their confidence increased significantly.
"So you guys got here first. I was looking for you everywhere."
Gao Yuan gently waved the Azure Dragon Fan in his hand, maintaining a smile on his face. He pretended to have just arrived and inquired about the situation from the others.
Although the others from the Extreme Cold Star Palace had only arrived a short while earlier than him, they had at least some understanding of the situation. When Gao Yuan heard that Fang Xiu had single-handedly defeated the madman who attempted to destroy the teleportation array, and that his methods were so bizarre that he couldn't recognize what kind of magic it was, his fan-waving movements slowed down by half a beat.
The others didn't care, assuming he was just surprised. As for what Gao Yuan was really thinking, only he knew.
Outside, Xuan Yi and his group, who had been sitting for two days, sensed something was wrong. Based on past experience, someone should have already come out using a teleportation token or teleportation array, but no one had come out yet, which was very strange.
"Damn it, could something have gone wrong inside?" Xuan Yi stroked his non-existent beard, turned to look at Fang Xiu who was still sitting next to him, and felt a little relieved. He knew Fang Xiu's plan, and with Fang Xiu there, even if something unexpected happened, Fang Xiu's strength was enough to deal with it.
"brush--"
As the teachers were discussing, a flash of light from a teleportation array appeared, followed by a second and a third...
They were just saying there was no one there, and now people have arrived, a large group of them, and even more are leaving through the teleportation array.
The students who came to the outside world immediately sought out their academy's teachers to explain the situation. These included teachers from the Divine Academy, the Extreme Cold Star Palace, the Yellow Sand Academy, and even the Forget-Worry Pavilion, but the disciples of Tongtian Valley were nowhere to be seen.
The teleportation tokens had expired, someone had deliberately damaged the teleportation array, and only one teleportation array remained. This series of news made everyone frown.
"Teacher." At this moment, Fang Xiu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said something that made everyone's expression change drastically.
"Gaoyuan has possessed the body of Cao Xian from the Extreme Cold Star Palace. I am currently fighting him, and other Pure Void auras have appeared on the island."
boom--!!
If we rewind a little, just a moment ago, the entire island of Descent suddenly trembled violently as if an earthquake had struck.
Compared to the bewildered state of the others, Fang Xiu looked up at the sky. The sky above the island seemed ordinary, but it was actually covered with restrictions. Just now, one of the restrictions had shattered with a loud crash.
"...The restriction has been lifted." Fang Xiu frowned. "The restriction on the island that allowed the Qingxu cultivators to appear has been lifted."
Fang Xiu did not conceal his voice. Upon hearing this, the other cultivators around him were all puzzled, except for a few people, including Cui Shao, who frowned.
"What does that mean? That the restriction has fallen into disrepair over the years?"
"How is that possible!" Yan Xiaoqi rolled his eyes. The restrictions that descended to the outside of the island were maintained by the circulation of spiritual energy, so how could they have fallen into disrepair over the years?
"This restriction cannot be broken on its own; someone must have sabotaged it..."
At this point, Yan Xiaoqi realized that someone was playing tricks. Wasn't there a bastard who destroyed teleportation arrays everywhere? Did that guy have accomplices?
The information asymmetry left Fang Xiu bewildered. Perhaps only Fang Xiu and Gao Yuan knew the inside story, but neither of them could reveal it. Fang Xiu couldn't explain it, while Gao Yuan wished all these people would die here, so why would he kindly explain?
While Fang Xiu and his group guarded the last teleportation array, the other group of students from Tongtian Valley had already headed towards the inner mist.
Upon entering, the students of Tongtian Valley were given a mission by their instructor, Zi Huo, to explore the inner region. For this purpose, they were specially equipped with warding-off-evil rings.
That is, as they approached, in the hidden underground space in the core area of the island.
One of the figures, dressed in red robes and whose faces were obscured, suddenly spoke up, "Boss, two groups of cultivators who entered the island are approaching us."
He was born into the second of the Four Eccentrics of Yanbian. He was skilled in perception, and his perception range covered the entire inner region and extended far beyond that.
"Oh? Someone else has come to the inner region this time too?" The leader of Yanbian didn't care. After all, they were just a bunch of lower-level cultivators who were only at the Jade Void Realm. Which one of them wasn't at the Pure Void Realm? Could they possibly be overthrown by someone of lower level?
"Fourth brother, go and treat them well."
"Hehe...Alright!" The last person looked up, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes that looked like they had gone mad, and a face full of disgusting bumps.
Yu Chan, the fourth of the Four Eccentrics of Yanbian, practiced evil arts, which caused him to become neither human nor toad, looking like a giant toad.
The two groups heading to the inner region were a group from Tongtian Valley and a makeshift team assembled along the way. The team included the woman in purple who had been stopped on the plateau, Chen Xiaohu who was searching for food because she had run out, and a girl from Wangyou Pavilion who had gotten lost while being chased.
The group consisted of three people. Originally, Chen Xiaohu and the girl from Wangyou Pavilion only wanted to ask for directions, but the woman in purple saw that Chen Xiaohu was exceptionally strong yet foolish, so she decided to take advantage of him and led the two of them to the inner region.
Both Tongtian Valley and the woman in purple were approaching the inner region, but in slightly different directions, and the woman in purple's group was clearly lagging behind.
