Chapter 282: A Textbook Slap in the Face
On the projection,
Even though everything appeared red, it was just the flames in the background; Yun Ye’s figure stood very clearly.
In contrast, the figure setting up the formation was shrouded in a blurred power, making it difficult to see who they were.
Seeing that Yun Ye kept asking questions without making a move, another figure in the projection, related to the formation setup, was eager to answer. He said:
"The projection does work, but even the System Masters’ Spirit Laws cannot monitor the entire Secret Realm. Ordinary cultivators are often overlooked and go unnoticed. The scoring depends on the tokens recorded by the sect…"
"In other words, there are ways to evade projection monitoring. In the projection, our figures appear blurred, while yours is clear. Others will only know that you fell by our hands, but no one will know exactly who did it."
Yun Ye had System Masters behind him, and they also had support. With mutual interference, it was indeed impossible to identify the true culprit.
Lan Wuyin obviously could not declare war on the other eleven System Masters to force them to reveal the killer.
This kind of thing had happened many times, and the disciples of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect were not surprised at all.
But this time felt particularly different. With each statement from the figures in the law realms, the expressions of everyone from the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect grew increasingly peculiar.
"This is outrageous; they actually ambushed Xiang Ying… Is this bad luck striking?" someone exclaimed.
"Who cares about bad luck? I just feel like this is quite a thrilling comedy. I must say, these great cultivators have sparked my interest; I’ve never looked forward to the next developments so much," another responded.
Indeed.
Even among cultivators, encountering such an emotionally charged scene was hard to resist.
Xiang Ying had just eliminated a Master, showcasing her strength very clearly, being one of the strongest in the Secret Realm.
Then, she turned around and faced a typical antagonist who thought she was an easy target.
So dramatic.
So captivating!
Hurry up!
Perhaps Yun Ye also heard that sentiment. He sighed and stepped out of the Xuan Bird: "So, if I eliminate you all now, the sect won’t punish me, right? After all, you were the ones to strike first."
"Theoretically, that’s correct, but the premise is you have that power—I mean, the power to stop us and tear off our masks." said the figure in the law realms.
Facing a talent who might have received numerous treasures from Qushuang, they didn’t assume everything was secure. At the very least, the chances of Yun Ye escaping with his sect’s treasures were not small.
But a treasure is only a treasure; whether one can use it well is another matter entirely.
Perhaps escape was possible.
But tearing off their masks would be exceedingly difficult; at most, they could kill them, but could not trace back their backgrounds.
With such a small risk and such great reward, they had every reason to act.
"…"
"I see."
Yun Ye looked around. His Spiritual Eye couldn’t directly see everyone’s true forms, but he could at least eliminate some wrong options.
He didn’t really believe he could expose everyone’s identity; that was too difficult. He felt that suppressing the law realms would still be quite taxing, and it was impossible to directly suppress several law realms while separated by the formation.
Well—
Maybe one would be possible.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yun Ye made his move. First, a round of the great sun suddenly rose, transforming the world.
The overwhelming triple fire trials were suppressed and cleared away, leaving only residual flames lingering at the edge of the phenomenon.
With the spirit fire obstacles removed, everything became clear.
Outside the fire web, four figures stood tall.
They were each in charge of the formation, and the atmosphere was serious, showing no signs of complacency, as they fully surrounded Yun Ye.
Seeing the phenomenon of the great sun clearing the spirit fire, they showed no reaction.
Activating the phenomenon also required energy; perhaps it was small, but it would eventually run out, and they would still be doomed.
They didn’t mind waiting a little longer.
"Spiritual Root fusion!"
"Elevation of Spiritual Roots!"
Yun Ye’s forehead, a blend of red and blue, turned gray, which then spread throughout his body, and an explosive aura surged up.
His Spiritual Roots were actually in a state between fusion and non-fusion; once he used Spiritual Root fusion, the power of his roots would indeed increase, but it would also make it difficult to use both water and fire Spiritual Laws.
There were pros and cons, and Yun Ye had to make his own decision.
"The burden on the body from the Spiritual Root fusion state is indeed immense…"
Yun Ye had entered the Spiritual Root fusion state multiple times in a short period and was already feeling the strain on his body.
This was a depletion of his spiritual essence and required time or potent medicine to recover; it wasn’t something he could use carelessly.
However, that wasn’t enough; the stable formation set up by the four needed an even more extreme explosive force to break through.
First Day Intent.
Qi, the heavens descend upon me!
This was True Immortal magic; Yun Ye silently activated it, and massive spirit energy transformed into his power and motivation.
In the next second, he vanished, and an astonishing hole suddenly appeared in the fire web formation.
One of the figures in the law realms was horrified; darkness clouded his vision. As the world spun, excruciating pain washed over him—
Yun Ye pressed his head down, slamming him from the sky into the ground with such force that it shattered everything within a thousand-meter radius. This strike completely shattered all his resistance.
He felt like a dead dog, firmly pinned down by Yun Ye’s hands, stuck to the earth.
The sealing technique spread.
The talismans on the back of Yun Ye’s hand shattered.
"First one. Hmm, if I’m not mistaken, this must be a Martial Virtue from the Da Xuan Dao System, right? The Dao Sister’s guard, truly an outstanding position, noble bloodline."
Yun Ye said as he stood up.
The scene fell into silence.
The three figures in the law realms fell silent for a brief moment before they transformed into streaks of light and fled without the slightest hesitation.
No kidding, the difference in strength was obvious to the naked eye.
Even if they had stronger opponents among them, it was impossible to kill Xiang Ying. Since that was the case, what was the point of staying?
Now escaping without revealing their true identities meant they could pretend nothing had happened.
"Break the phenomenon and charge out!"
"Destroy and escape!"
Someone shouted.
They summoned unidentified treasures and directly destroyed them to unleash a self-explosive force to escape.
“Naive.”
In response, both Yun Ye and the audience outside could only utter two words.
Yun Ye was too powerful; just because he couldn’t capture them didn’t mean he would let them escape.
He casually glanced over.
“——”
The world instantly transformed into black and white.
The three figures, along with their dazzling treasures, froze and were erased at an atomic level.
Yun Ye sneezed lightly, casually lifting up the sealed "lucky one," and said, "You can disrespect me, but you must respect power. Sorry, but I’m actually quite strong."
“……” The lucky one fell silent for a while before speaking up, "Xiang Ying’s True Disciple, you know, this was just my own decision; it has nothing to do with Da Xuan."
"Did I say it was related? Self-exposing?" Yun Ye shrugged. He understood that whether it was related was a matter for Lan Wuyin and the System Master of Da Xuan, but he only wanted to dig a pit for Lan Wuyin; anyway, the bulk of the trouble would be dealt with by Lan Wuyin.
Outside, many people were truly delighted.
What was this?
A textbook-style face-slapping!
Especially that line.
"Sorry, but I’m actually quite strong."
It was simply a direct mockery.
Wonderful!
What would Da Xuan Dao System do in response next?
