Chapter 1889 Intelligence is More Important Than Life
While healing Ye Yan, Master Lingxu quickly exchanged information with Qingmianhu and Jizhou.
After hearing the gist of the story, Ji Zhou turned pale: "So, what we're facing isn't just a mad Silent Zen Temple and an ambitious Dragon Roar Temple, but a catastrophe that could destroy all the heavens?"
If Ah Xiong were here right now, he would surely be howling that he wants to go back to the human world and never come to this wretched place again.
“Indeed.” Master Lingxu nodded heavily. “The Spirit Realm will be the first to be affected. We must bring this intelligence back as soon as possible so that Mingchuan and the five major sects can make preparations.”
He looked at the unconscious Ye Yan, his eyes filled with hope: "Ye Yan's 'Star Mark Record' and Star Orbiter may contain more detailed solutions, or even clues to other Gatekeepers and Star Pivot Tokens. I hope he can wake up soon."
The camel boat flew over the Gobi Desert and wasteland, getting closer and closer to Wanchuan Sect.
However, just as they were about to leave the Western Regions and enter the relatively safe Central Regions, the sky not far ahead suddenly distorted violently like waves!
Immediately afterwards, three figures appeared without warning, blocking the only way for the camel boat!
The person in the lead, dressed in a moon-white flowing fairy dress, with a cold smile on her exquisite face, was none other than Fairy Yueyao!
To her left was Yue Wuhen, whose face was slightly pale and whose eyes were sinister. To her right was a figure shrouded in a gray cloak, whose aura was elusive, and who held a short white bone flute.
"Yue Yao! Yue Wuhen!" Master Lingxu's pupils constricted sharply, and alarm bells rang in his mind!
How did they get here?!
The camel boat came to a sudden stop and hovered in mid-air.
Jizhou and the Zhantang team members instantly entered battle mode, with magical artifacts in hand and spiritual energy surging.
The Blue-Faced Fox immediately stopped treating the Crimson Flame Fox, stood up on guard, and looked extremely solemn.
Yueyao's gaze swept over the disheveled people on the camel boat, lingering for a moment on the unconscious Crimson Flame Fox and Ye Yan. Her smile deepened, but her voice remained as cold as ice:
"Lingxuzi, Qingmianhu, Chiyanhu, and the others from Wanchuan Sect, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I followed some interesting spatial fluctuations here, and I never expected to have such a gain. It seems you had quite a thrilling and exciting time in the Chaotic Sky Sea?"
Her gaze finally fell on the Star Pivot Token that Lingxu Zhenren had not yet put away, and a hint of extreme greed and fervor flashed in her eyes.
Although she didn't fully understand what it was, the ancient stellar Daoist essence it contained made her instinctively feel that it was no ordinary thing!
"Hand over what you obtained in the Chaotic Sky Sea, and that person." Yueyao pointed at Ye Yan. "Perhaps I can consider giving you a quick death."
"Wishful thinking!" Master Lingxu roared, gathering his remaining spiritual power to condense the Moonlit Sword Qi before him. "Yueyao, you infiltrated the Spirit Realm and stirred up trouble; your crime deserves death! Today, I'll keep you here!"
"Based on your current state?"
Yue Wuhen chuckled and stepped forward, unleashing his late-stage Nascent Soul aura without any concealment. He casually waved his folding fan, seemingly without restraint, yet his gaze locked onto Lingxu Zhenren and Jizhou.
The figure shrouded in gray robes slowly raised the white bone flute in his hand and brought it close to his lips.
A cold, eerie rhythmic wave, seemingly capable of stirring up inner demons and triggering negative emotions within the body, began to spread!
The blue-faced fox's expression changed: "It's a demonic sound that captivates the soul! Be careful and guard your mind!"
Lingxu Zhenren gritted his teeth and immediately turned to look at Jizhou.
"Jizhou! We'll hold them off for a bit. You take Ye Yan and the Crimson Flame Fox, and push the camel boat to its limits to break through! Don't look back!"
No matter what, we must protect Ye Yan and the intelligence he brought back! Someone must send the message back!
"Senior!" Jizhou said urgently.
"This is an order! Intelligence is more important than our lives!"
However, at this tense moment of life and death—
Ye Yan, who had been unconscious, suddenly twitched his fingers very slightly.
The Star Pivot Token he gripped tightly seemed to sense its master's perilous situation and strong will, and suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant silver light!
The light was not dazzling, but it carried a vast and majestic aura that swept across the universe and settled the stars!
At the same time, the book "Star Mark Record" in Ye Yan's arms also opened automatically, the pages moving without wind, projecting a miniature, slowly rotating phantom image of the stars in the sky!
The illusory images of stars and the light of the Star Pivot Token complemented each other, and an ancient, grand, and seemingly primordial law-like fluctuation spread out instantly!
The gray-robed man, who was about to play the bone flute, suddenly stopped, his body under the cloak trembling slightly, as if he had encountered some kind of natural enemy!
Yueyao and Yue Wuhen's expressions also changed drastically. From the star-like phantoms and light, they sensed a suppression and repulsion originating from the level of life and the essence of power!
"What is this?!" Yueyao asked in surprise and doubt.
The next second, something even more shocking happened.
Under the silver light of the Star Pivot Order, Ye Yan slowly and with great difficulty opened his eyes!
Those eyes were bloodshot, filled with exhaustion and pain, but deep within them burned an inextinguishable flame, like a star!
His lips moved, his voice hoarse and almost inaudible, yet it carried a strong determination; every word seemed to be uttered with all his might.
"Star Mark is here, the claws of the Ruins..."
"roll!"
The moment the last word "get lost" was uttered, the Star Pivot command's silver light surged, and the illusory images of the stars projected by the "Star Mark Record" suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire camel boat!
An overwhelming and terrifying pressure, as if the entire starry sky were pressing down, descended with a roar and pressed precisely on Yueyao and the other two!
The expressions of Yueyao and the other two changed drastically, as if they had been struck in the chest by an invisible giant hammer. Their protective spiritual light flickered violently, and they all groaned and flew backward uncontrollably!
With a "crack", the folding fan in Yue Wuhen's hand cracked.
The white bone flute in the gray-robed man's hand let out a mournful cry, and several cracks appeared on the flute!
Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the camel boat, propelled by Jizhou's full power, transformed into a streak of light, instantly breaking through the blockade and disappearing into the distant horizon!
"You bastard!!!"
Yueyao steadied herself, looking at the empty sky, her beautiful face contorted with shock, anger, and a hint of fear.
She stared intently in the direction where the camel boat had disappeared, then looked at the protective magic item in her hand that had developed fine cracks, her eyes filled with a terrifyingly sinister glint.
"That token, that book, and Ye Yan's condition just now... what exactly happened?" A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Yue Wuhen's mouth, still shaken.
“That’s not Ye Yan’s own power.” The gray-robed man’s voice was hoarse and dry, filled with deep apprehension. “It’s the ancient will of the star guardian, which manifested a trace of its power through his body and medium.”
"The will of the Star Guardians?" A cold glint flashed in Yueyao's eyes. "Is it related to the Star Gate? Or is it related to what the Silent Zen Temple is searching for?"
She was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "This is getting more and more interesting. Wan Chuan Sect, Ming Chuan, you have more secrets hidden than I imagined!"
"Order Dark Moon to mobilize all its hidden forces and do everything in its power to track down what Ye Yan brought back, as well as all clues related to the stars and the ancient guardians!"
"I'd like to see how long you can keep struggling!"
