Chapter 302 A Crisis


    At this very moment, a hundred miles away, Hua Qiyue felt Xuanyuan Wutian’s oppressive aura as well.


    Once such a superior appeared, mighty Qi Artists within a radius of hundreds of miles could sense him, unless he deliberately hid his strength and aura.


    But Xuanyuan Wutian would not hide his strength or aura. He was a prideful and arrogant man at the Great Deity Realm, and naturally, he was not afraid of others.


    Hua Qiyue jumped up in shock. She and the others were having dinner, and her chopsticks fell to the ground.


    “It must be Xuanyuan Wutian!” Hua Qiyue stood up and hurried outside.


    Bai Qianxue winked at Xuanji.


    The whole party probably could not win against such a superior. Would it not be death for Hua Qiyue to go?


    They thought Yun Shimo was strong enough. It would be a burden to Yun Shimo if Hua Qiyue went there because when Xuanyuan Wutian couldn’t hurt Yun Shimo, he would try to hurt someone else.


    “Qiyue, don’t worry, we’ll go there together,” Xuanji said. Tianci hurriedly threw down his chopsticks and touched his belly, which was not full. “Mom, I want to go there too.”


    There was a pause in Hua Qiyue’s step, as she turned to dissuade Tianci from going. Xuanji stepped forward and pped her on her one acupoint. Hua Qiyue had a ckout and fainted.


    Ji Jing and Ji Feng stood up in silence. They knew what Xuanji meant.


    Hua Qiyue was about to fall, but Xuanji held her. Tianci’s eyes widened as if he didn’t believe Xuanji to do so. It was obvious that Tianci was too young to understand what was going on.


    “Tianci, go back... The enemy is too strong for us to go out. Wait for Brother Xuanji and the others to have a look. If your mom goes there, she’ll distract your dad.” Ji Jing ran to Tianci and held him.


    Tianci blinked as he watched Xuanji silently carry Hua Qiyue back to the south yard. “Brother Xuan, is that so?”


    Xuanji looked back at Tianci’s lovely face and nodded seriously. “Yes, Tianci. You have to listen to Sister Jing’er. Now your dad must not be distracted. Don’t go and disturb him!”


    Ji Feng echoed Xuanji’s words. Tianci looked at Xuanji’s back and sat down sulkily.


    Everyone said that the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead was formidable, but when his dad was bullied, he couldn’t help him, which made him frustrated.


    “Tianci, we are here waiting for your dad!” Ji Jing drew Tianci to the table and seated him. “Come on, eat more. You’re not full yet. It doesn’t matter. Eat slowly. Brother Xuanji and Brother Bai will help your dad,” Ji Jing said gently.


    Huangfu Xuan, however, just cast a nce at Tianci, then stood up in silence and walked out.


    Ji Feng followed him out. Bingyi, too, walked away nervously.


    Tianci could only look at their backs but could not leave. Although he was only seven or eight years old, he roughly understood the importance of not being distracted when fighting.


    “Young Master Huangfu, where are you going? The opponent is Xuanyuan Wutian—someone at the greatpleteness of Great Deity and has several times more experience than we do. It’s no use for you to go there,” Ji Feng whispered after Huangfu Xuan.


    Everyone followed him out except Ji Jing and Tianci.


    They all stood there in silence and didn’t know whether to go or not.


    Huangfu Xuan gritted his teeth with vague depression. He was one whose Qi Art level was quite low in this group of people.


    Now Hua Qiyue needed help, but he couldn’t help her.


    “Your Highness, let’s stay here and wait. Prince Nan is my master. I am not strong enough, so I can only wait for him here. If we all go there, we’ll distract him,” Bingyi whispered too.


    Caining and Caiqing looked at each other, then lowered their heads in silence.


    Huangfu Xuan paused and nced at him nonchntly. “I’ll watch the battle from afar and not go near.”


    After that, Huangfu Xuan strode off in that direction.


    Although his strength was not mighty, perhaps at a critical moment, he was also important. Though he sometimesined that Yun Shimo’s presence kept Hua Qiyue’s heart away from him.


    But in the final analysis, he was the first to harm Hua Qiyue. He would never have lost Hua Qiyue if he hadn’t broken off the engagement due to his arrogance.


    At least, he still had a chance.


    The crowd looked at the back of Huangfu Xuan and could not help exchanging nces.


    Xuanji guarded Hua Qiyue on purpose, not wanting her to be involved in the battle. Bai Qianxue nced at the south courtyard and eventually followed Huangfu Xuan.


    “Qianxue, do you want to have a look too?” Ji Feng followed Bai Qianxue. Actually, he was also worried about Yun Shimo too.


    “Well, I’ll just have a look not far away,” Bai Qianxue said tly.


    Although there was no friendship between him and Yun Shimo, thetter was the beloved man of Hua Qiyue.


    If something bad really happened to Yun Shimo, she would be despondent, right? Thinking of this, Bai Qianxue decided to go and have a look.


    Ji Feng followed him in silence. Seeing this, Bingyi followed them to the back of the mountain. Princess Qianyang called to him, “Brother Bing, would you mind... not going there?”


    Bingyi shot Princess Qianyang a nce. Her charming small face had long since lost its malice. Now, Princess Qianyang was as pure as a piece of white paper.


    “Stay here. Don’t go anywhere,” Bingyi said in a low voice.


    He then quickened his pace and followed Ji Feng and the others.


    Princess Qianyang stood there, her beautiful eyes full of worry.


    Xuanji put Hua Qiyue on her bed. She slept quietly, her beautiful eyes closed. Her hair, scattered on her chest, entuated her charming and pretty face.


    Tianci pushed the door open and entered the room. His mom had been sent into her room, and he feared that Xuanji had injured her.


    “When will my mom wake up?” Tianci ran to the bed and asked as he smoothed Hua Qiyue’s hair, which was a little untidy.


    “It won’t be too long. Tianci, stay here obediently and take care of your mom, you know?”


    Xuanji patted Tianci on the shoulder and then drifted away. He dared not stay here any longer. He was afraid that he would do more unreasonable things in the face of Hua Qiyue.


    Tianci looked at Hua Qiyue’s pink face and pursed his lips. Then he fanned her.


    At this moment.


    Yun Shimo was still in a cold confrontation with Xuanyuan Wutian.


    “The Purple Primordial Chaos Bead is not on you.” Xuanyuan Wutian was indeed discerning. Old ginger is hotter than the new. He saw at a nce that Yun Shimo didn’t have the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead inside him.


    Yun Shimo said with a deadpan expression, “I’ve already refined the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead. That was why I made it to the greatpleteness of Great Deity from the first level of Holy God at one fell swoop.”


    Xuanyuan Wutian snorted with a look of disdain in his eyes. “Ha? How dare you behave in a haughty manner before me? Brat, that’s bold of you. Hahaha... Have you forgotten how your family was trampled by us? If it hadn’t been for your father’s outburst of power, I wouldn’t have let you and that bitch escape!”


    Yun Xuan had risked his life to send Yun Shimo away in those days.


    The thought of the past made Yun Shimo’s blood boil within him. He curled his lips coldly and said, “It’s no use talking more, old thief. Let’s fight!”


    Xuanyuan Wutian was at the greatpleteness of Great Deity, so Yun Shimo dared not neglect him. His actualbat experience was much, much less than that of Xuanyuan Wutian. If he wanted to close the gap, he could only put up a desperate fight, using his constitution!


    First, Yun Shimo summoned the array of runes and trapped Xuanyuan Wutian in the middle. Seeing this, Xuanyuan Wutian was astounded.


    No wonder Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan couldn’te back alive. It turned out that Yun Shimo knew the rune art!


    “So you’ve learned the lost rune art, brat, haha! Good, it seems that I have gained a lot after emerging from my retreat! When I have subdued you, I will make you hand over your rune art!”


    Xuanyuan Wutian’s eyes glistened with greed. This rune art, which had lost for ten thousand years, made many old men have the green-eyed monster in them.


    “Five Spirit-imprisoning Arrays—Spirit-digging Array, Body-restraining Array, Heart-absorbing Array, Spirit-suppressing Array, and Spirit-gnawing Array! Start!”


    Yun Shimo closed his hands and appeared behind Xuanyuan Wutian. As he opened his hands, countless runes glistening with holy light shed and floated out, trapping Xuanyuan Wutian in an instant!


    Though it was the first time Xuanyuan Wutian had seen such an array of runes, he was so calm because he had reached the greatpleteness of Great Deity for many years, and he thought that a nonentity like Yun Shimo could not be his match!


    However, under the gradually dark sky, the holy light of those glittering runes spread around, and an ancient force of repression gushed forth like a spring!


    Xuanyuan Wutian was astonished inwardly but calm and rxed outwardly.


    How could he, a grandmaster, show his fear before Yun Shimo?


    “Humph, a trifling skill. How dare you show it to me!” Xuanyuan Wutian said with a cold snort.


    With seventy percent of his strength, he struck the runes that trapped him with his palms. All the runes glowed and vanished all at once!


    After all, Yun Shimo’s strength was inferior to that of Xuanyuan Wutian. So if there was a Qi Artist who was more powerful than him, the odds were that this array would be broken.


    But just as Xuanyuan Wutian was about to satirize Yun Shimocently, those ethereal lights were suddenly reformed into runes and trapped him tightly!


    Yun Shimo’s face kept calm, and his voice was cold. “Xuanyuan Wutian, don’t look down upon the rune art. Even if you have more experience and more power than I do, don’t forget that it’s not an easy task to break runes...”


    Xuanyuan Wutian was vexed inwardly. If he had used 100 percent of his power, the runes must have been broken, right?


    He was a grandmaster, and he could not afford to lose face again!


    “Sword of the Deities—break!”


    Xuanyuan Wutian shouted coldly. In his hand, there appeared thousands of lightsabers, glowing with colorful lights and emanating an aura of terror!


    The lightsabers whizzed out, prating the runes glowing with sacred light!


    Boom—


    A slight tremor appeared in heaven and earth. Finally, Xuanyuan Wutian broke theyer of runes that had firmly trapped him.


    Yun Shimo was hit by the rebounding force. After all, the array of runes was broken, and he suffered serious internal injuries too.


    The Hare squinted down from the tree and sighed gently. Although Yun Shimo’s constitution was strong, it was still weakpared with an old monster who had lived 70 or 80 years.


    “Haha, brat, it’s not worth wasting my time for you. Give me the rune art quickly, and I’ll make your death easier!” Xuanyuan Wutianughed wildly. He was ted to know that the array of runes could not be formed again.
