Chapter 496: Energy Wave
When Xuening arrived at that spot, Su Jingzhen and everyone in the distance immediately saw it.
Whether it was the Yunmeng Goddess statue above or the five-colored divine light on Xuening, they became even more brilliant.
The light was so intense that it completely enveloped Xuening’s entire body.
As far as Su Jingzhen and the others could see, the place had already turned into a dazzling ball of light.
Even if Su Jingzhen used his divine consciousness, he couldn’t probe what was inside.
At that moment, Bai Suzhen’s voice suddenly rang out in his ear.
“It seems like my previous guess was right.
I wonder what kind of luck this guy has to have such a person appear by his side.”
Bai Suzhen’s words were filled with unprecedented emotion.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart moved again.“Suzhen, what do you mean?”
He immediately asked via voice transmission.
However, as soon as his transmission ended, Bai Suzhen fell silent again.
She didn’t give him any more answers.
“Suzhen, don’t play games with me.
You can choose not to tell me, but since you said so much and then left me hanging, is that ethical?”
Bai Suzhen remained completely unresponsive to his words.
Su Jingzhen: “…”
Since he couldn’t get any useful information from Bai Suzhen, Su Jingzhen turned his gaze back to Xuening at the Yunmeng Goddess statue.
He could no longer see Xuening’s figure.
Judging from the situation, he knew that it wouldn’t be easy to get an answer.
His expression gradually turned serious.
He knew that many top powers had probably already left the Dantai Ruins.
But there were still a lot of Soul Formation level cultivators lingering around.
The commotion here would inevitably attract the attention of all parties.
“Suzhen, I won’t say any more, but you must at least help us keep an eye on this, right?
If some Soul Formation level cultivators show up later, I won’t be able to handle it.”
Bai Suzhen remained silent as usual.
The light on Xuening became even more dazzling.
After a while, Su Jingzhen felt several breaking wind sounds.
Gradually, streams of light from all directions of Dantai Ruins were coming toward this place.
The top powers who had remained in the ruins and wanted to pick up the leftovers all rushed here.
However, Su Jingzhen’s familiar Longyan Branch of the Evil Moon Sect, as well as the Holy City Treasure Gathering Pavilion and Dongxuan Academy, were nowhere to be seen.
Those guys really left after confirming that there was no great wealth here.
Su Jingzhen had seen the top forces that had arrived here, but he couldn’t remember their names.
They didn’t seem to be Qingzhou forces.
The number of Soul Formation level cultivators was only three or four.
“Not a single familiar face, that’s a bit unexpected.”
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
His expression became even more serious.
Many cultivators were standing on their flying instruments in the void.
Their eyes were fixed on the five-colored ball of light that Xuening had transformed into, their eyes filled with greed.
Even Soul Formation level cultivators didn’t know what it was.
But when they saw such a divine light appearing on the head of the Yunmeng Goddess statue, anyone who saw it would naturally consider it an incomparable great fortune.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen pulled out a long sword.
He channeled his blood qi onto it.
He also flew into the sky on his flying instrument.
The black brick was already in his hand, and silver light flashed on his body.
The Heavenly Dragon Scales had already been activated by him.
With the aura of killing intent, he exuded the aura of a lone warrior guarding a pass, unstoppable by thousands of troops.
He looked at the cultivators in front of him in the void without saying a word, but his attitude was already very clear.
No matter how long it took Xuening, he would not allow these people to interfere.
However, his appearance reminded people of the ten headless corpses under the Yunmeng Goddess statue earlier, and Shen Yifeng slaughtering everyone in the hall.
Even those Soul Formation level cultivators had a flash of fear in their eyes.
Just like Shen Yifeng couldn’t be treated as an ordinary mid-stage soul cultivator, Su Jingzhen couldn’t be treated as an ordinary Flesh Body Nascent Embryo cultivator.
Otherwise, they might not even know how they died.
At that moment, one of the elders who looked rather friendly suddenly turned to Su Jingzhen: “Daoist Su, this time inside Dantai Ruins, the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect has already gained quite a lot.
As the saying goes, ‘When water overflows, it spills over; when the moon is full, it wanes.’ If you are too greedy, it may not be a good thing.
This time, Daoist Su, if you give in and let the good fortune of this Yunmeng Goddess statue fall to us, perhaps a lot of bloody incidents can be avoided.
Lord Shen Yifeng is not here. Relying solely on your cultivation of the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo, it would be too difficult to stop us.
Let me make it clear, we have no intention of becoming enemies with the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.”
The elder spoke calmly, without any pressure, and even with a hint of apprehension.
Lord Shen Yifeng, this title made Su Jingzhen a bit confused.
According to him, if Shen Yifeng had really been beaten earlier and fled in disgrace, he shouldn’t be treated with such respect.
“What exactly did my master do earlier? It seems like these people are getting more and more wary of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.”
He muttered to himself again, full of confusion.
Su Jingzhen didn’t ask any more questions.
Instead, he slowly raised his right hand holding the black brick.
“How much wealth the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect has gained is my business.
As for heaven-sent treasures and opportunities, whoever is destined to receive them will receive them.
The fact that my Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon sect was able to obtain them and trigger the opportunities above the Yunmeng Goddess statue proves that we are destined to have them.
Therefore, no matter how much we get, it is rightfully ours.
For you to take it by force would be to defy Heaven and go against the natural order.
So if you want to go now, you might be able to avoid any trouble.
But if you insist on defying me, then what happens next and how many people die is beyond my control.”
Su Jingzhen’s tone was calm, but it still had a threatening undertone.
For a Nascent Body Embryo, which was comparable to the Nascent Soul level, to threaten four Soul Formation level cultivators was a truly shocking event in the entire cultivation world.
But here it was, happening right in front of their eyes.
And at this moment, all the distant onlookers didn’t find anything wrong with the situation.
The elder who spoke earlier frowned deeply.
The friendly expression on his face also turned somewhat dark, “Daoist Su, are you really going to be so stubborn?
You should know that if we attack by force, you won’t be able to stop us.
Such a situation is not something any of us wants to see.”
Su Jingzhen smiled playfully: “The decision has always been in your hands, right?
You don’t need to investigate or worry about my master. Here, there’s only me, Su Jingzhen.
If you want the wealth behind me, just come and get it.”
As his words fell, Su Jingzhen’s fighting spirit flared up intensely.
However, at the same time, he quietly sent a message to Bai Suzhen: “Bai Suzhen, can you maintain this Asura persona of mine from now on? It’s up to you.”
Su Jingzhen wasn’t afraid of any Nascent Soul cultivator right now, but when he faced Soul Formation level cultivators, he would still feel a bit intimidated.
After all, they were two completely different levels of power.
While Su Jingzhen was conversing with these people, behind him, the eyes of Xuening and the Yunmeng Goddess statue glowed with an increasingly brilliant five-colored light.
Su Jingzhen could clearly feel that the connection between Xuening and the Yunmeng Goddess statue was getting stronger and stronger.
There was a power brewing from the Yunmeng Goddess statue that made his heart pound.
It seemed that Xuening could truly achieve the vision she had in her heart.
Su Jingzhen noticed the change on the Yunmeng Goddess statue.
The few Soul Formation stage cultivators in front of him narrowed their eyes, and their auras suddenly became sharp and intense.
With Su Jingzhen’s Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage cultivation, he thought he could scare them off, but he clearly underestimated them.
In the face of such a powerful manifestation of Heaven’s Will, if they were to retreat directly, their respective sects would likely lose face and their fortunes would dwindle.
“In that case, we can only try the methods of the Blood Hand Asura disciple. Apologies!”
Although a conflict was inevitable, the speaker remained polite.
They had no ill will towards Su Jingzhen.
After all, Shen Yifeng’s display of power in the main hall was truly awe-inspiring.
They couldn’t imagine the consequences if someone dared to kill Shen Yifeng’s only disciple.
As the strongest fighters in their respective sects, they had no confidence in facing Shen Yifeng themselves.
If Su Jingzhen were to die here, Shen Yifeng would probably blame everyone present.
Therefore, killing Su Jingzhen at this moment was tantamount to suicide in everyone’s eyes.
“Everyone, we only want wealth, not life. We only want to hurt, not kill!”
The elder who spoke earlier addressed his companions.
Then, the four Soul Formation level cultivators made their move simultaneously.
Four powerful attacks from the Soul Formation level cultivators immediately surged towards Su Jingzhen.
However, each of them held back a portion of their power during the attack.
They did not dare to unleash their full power for fear of killing Su Jingzhen.
The Elder’s words were not hidden.
Su Jingzhen naturally heard them, and his eyebrows furrowed again.
“These old guys, they’re surprisingly decent.”
This situation, where they only wanted wealth and not life, was Su Jingzhen’s first encounter in the cultivation world.
He truly didn’t feel any murderous intentions from these people.
His heart silently forgave the powers behind these cultivators.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen activated the Heavenly Dragon Scale’s defensive power to the fullest.
All eight Secret Repositories in his body surged with energy.
He knew that against the combined attacks of four Soul Formation level cultivators, he wouldn’t stand a chance on his own.
The Heavenly Dragon Scale was only a last resort.
The key depended on Bai Suzhen.
However, just as the attacks of the four elders were about to land, Bai Suzhen remained unresponsive.
“Suzhen, help!”
Su Jingzhen’s heart sank.
But there was nothing he could do at this moment.
There was no choice but to rely on the Heavenly Dragon Scale to withstand this onslaught.
Su Jingzhen’s Heavenly Dragon Scale, which was hidden under his clothes, fully materialized.
The silver light reached its peak brilliance.
As his defenses reached their maximum, he suddenly felt a gentle force enveloping him.
An inch away from his skin, a five-colored shield solidified.
Boom boom…
With a deafening roar, the attacks of the four Soul Formation level cultivators slammed directly into the five-colored shield.
As the violent energy exploded outwards, Su Jingzhen discovered that the five-colored energy shield was unyielding, not moving an inch.
Then, from behind him, from the five-colored ball of light where Xuening was, a surge of incredibly powerful yet gentle energy erupted.
Like a wave, it swept outward from Xuening and the statue of the Yunmeng Goddess.
This wave of energy bypassed Su Jingzhen.
However, every cultivator it encountered along the way was shaken by its power.
Even the four Soul Formation level cultivators couldn’t control their bodies.
They were constantly being pushed backward by the energy wave.
Like an autumn wind sweeping up fallen leaves, they were quickly swept out of White Jade Square.
Outside the square, the energy wave didn’t stop.
It continued to surge outward, towards the entire remnants of the Dantai Clan’s legacy.
