“When did this happen? Wasn't her shield on the verge of breaking earlier? How did she manage to reverse the situation?”
“Misheng is right. As long as Suewan's shield energy remains higher than Yue Ling Bona's, she won't die, at least not before Yue Ling Bona.”
The others didn't know if they were genuinely surprised or had ulterior motives.
In any case, Yue Ling Bona's expression grew even more sinister and terrifying, her gaze fixed on Suì Wǎn as if it could turn into gamma rays.
Suì Wǎn's face was ashen. She ignored the clearly deranged and twisted Yue Ling Bona and instead looked at Yue Ling Misheng.
“You'd better pray I don't make it back alive, otherwise, I won't hesitate to personally throw your parents, your siblings, your loved ones, and your friends into the Valley of Ten Thousand Worms!”
The Valley of Ten Thousand Worms was a forbidden area of the Yue Ling Clan, specifically used to deal with the clan's criminals and enemies.
Entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Worms meant only one path: death.
Yue Ling Misheng wanted to shift the blame, making Yue Ling Bona transfer all her hatred onto her.
It was a very clever move; she might have done something similar herself.
After all, better a dead fellow Daoist than a dead poor Daoist.
But understanding didn't mean Suì Wǎn wouldn't care or seek revenge; she wasn't a saint.
“Sister Suewan, I was just stating the facts. You don't need to be so hostile towards me.”
Bah.
After delivering her harsh words, Suì Wǎn couldn't be bothered to say another word to such a pretentious and despicable person. It was just unnecessary nonsense.
She frowned, gazing at her shield, which was emitting a warm, bright light, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
The largest color block on her shield had long since turned purple. Unbeknownst to her, it had transformed from a small, insignificant part into a colossal entity that dominated most of the territory, so vast that her eyes could barely see anything but purple.
Meanwhile, the black representing Grandpa, the white representing General Hu, and the yellow representing Huang Huaqiang had all shrunk into tiny clusters and hadn't changed for a long time.
“Grandpa and the others are probably in trouble.”
Suì Wǎn's heart was exceptionally heavy.
She hadn't forgotten Yue Ling Bona's reaction when she saw her shield earlier—it was a mix of surprise and shock that things had exceeded her expectations.
This indicated that in her mind, her support offerings could never provide her with enough resources. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
She had already sentenced her to death!
Why would Yue Ling Bona have such a thought? It could only be because she was very clear that her support offerings absolutely couldn't help her.
So, Grandpa and the others...
“Grandpa won't die that easily.”
Yue Ling Qianchen's voice reached her ears again, but Suì Wǎn didn't turn to look.
Yue Ling Qianchen's words were merely to comfort her. What she could guess, he must have already figured out.
“That woman wearing a mask... is she Mingxi? If it really is her, then you might actually have a chance to survive.”
Suì Wǎn didn't respond, nor could she.
She didn't have a pet that could transmit sound. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Yue Ling Misheng indeed achieved his goal. The next day at noon, when Yue Ling Bona's third pet self-detonation occurred, the pet's position had a clear bias.
Although it was still at the main sacrificial position, it exploded right against the shield of the due east sacrificial position.
It instantly cut half of Suì Wǎn's shield energy, and its light suddenly dimmed.
And because of the significant shift in the self-detonation's center, the consumption suffered by others was indeed reduced considerably.
This wave of self-detonation surprisingly caused no casualties; only the pet and the endless monsters died.
Yue Ling Misheng and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Ling Bona stared expressionlessly at Suì Wǎn, watching her shield become dim, and then she curled her lips.
“Heh heh, Vulnerable.”
But her smile had barely lasted two seconds when her pupils sharply contracted. Her body, which had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up, and she stared at Suì Wǎn's shield with bulging eyes.
“What's going on?!”
She looked bewildered and unable to comprehend.
The others also noticed.
After dimming for a few seconds, Suì Wǎn's shield quickly made a comeback. That dazzling light showed no sign of collapsing!
Compared to Yue Ling Bona's shield, which was strong but strangely cold, it was as dazzling as a bright moon or a scorching sun.
Many people thought that [N O V E L I G H T] if it weren't for Yue Ling Bona's three consecutive pet self-detonations, the current brightness of Suì Wǎn's shield might have already illuminated the main sacrificial position.
“Suì Wǎn, did you tamper with the altar earlier?”
Yue Ling Bona looked at Suì Wǎn sinisterly.
Suì Wǎn's gaze didn't flinch. She stared back at her, “Why would you think that? Couldn't it be that my support offerings just happened to collect a large amount of resources? My Grandpa, as well as General Hu and Uncle Huang, are all powerful Beast Tamers.”
“Impossible!” Yue Ling Bona said without hesitation, her tone very certain, “They absolutely cannot help you!”
Suì Wǎn narrowed her cold eyes, “Why are you so sure?”
“Because they have already been—Bitch, are you trying to trick me into talking?”
Suì Wǎn frowned, secretly sighing in regret. She was so close to knowing Grandpa and their situation.
Damn it.
Even though Yue Ling Bona, this lunatic, was so deranged, she still possessed normal thinking ability.
“So, my Grandpa and the others were secretly harmed by your people, or were they also bribed by you?”
If she couldn't trick information out, she could only hit straight.
“Heh, what can you do even if you know the truth?”
“At least I can die with understanding.”
“Heh heh, then I'll tell you, they are all our people, so it's absolutely impossible for them to help you!” Yue Ling Bona suddenly laughed, shaking with laughter, looking even more like a madwoman, “Not just them, all the rest of you too. Most of the support offerings you invited have already been bribed by our people!
No one can help you! No one!”
Her ghostly gaze suddenly turned back to Suì Wǎn, “So what did you do to the altar?”
“...You guess.”
Yue Ling Qianchen, lying in the coffin, pouted. He knew very well that there was no such thing as 'tampering.'
If Suewan had that ability, she wouldn't have let them fall into this crisis.
She just got lucky.
No, it was her dear brother's great ability that helped her invite a peerless genius capable of turning the tide.
Alas! In the end, it was still his cousin who was too incompetent. Even though his cousin was Mingxi's schoolmate and had all the advantages of timing, location, and human relations, Zhou Li'an still managed to snatch her away.
Isn't that infuriating?
(´゚ж゚`)
He could only pray silently now.
Ming Shen, please cover us!
...
The storyline returns to Mingxi's side.
The debriefing process alone took over two hours, as it required understanding the experiences of each of the Golden Yuanbao Seven after they separated.
It could only be said that everyone had a very exciting day.
