My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 335: Chapter 334: The Mask That Cannot Be Looked at Directly

Su Qi felt rather helpless. ’If I don’t call her Senior, should I call her Fairy?’

’That seems even less appropriate. I’ll just stick with calling her Senior.’

Jiang Zuo, on the other hand, was looking around with considerable interest. ’The Elements here are so pathetic.’

Compared to the Fire Elemental Army, they weren’t even worthy of carrying their shoes.

To think they were actually afraid of his Fire Elemental Minions.

Back in the Fire Elemental Army, not a single one of them was afraid of him, to say nothing of their leader, who held not a shred of reverence for him.

If they did, they wouldn’t come looking for death every single day.

Those Elements didn’t understand fear at all. They only understood humiliation and were hell-bent on getting their revenge.

But these Elements here actually retreated in fear. What a disgrace to all Elements. These ones were completely spineless.

That was why Jiang Zuo couldn’t be bothered with them.

Their willingness to retreat on their own saved him the trouble of dealing with them personally.

After that, they once again headed deeper inside.

The farther they walked, the more certain Hiller became that the Elements were avoiding Jiang Zuo. She could sense that for every step he took forward, the Elements would take one step back.

And when Jiang Zuo advanced, the Elements behind them would also advance, always maintaining a certain distance.

The deeper they went, the more immense the elemental energy became, to the point that even Su Qi could feel something was strange.

"Is there some kind of disturbance in the elemental energy here? Why does it feel so unstable?"

Jiang Zuo nodded. "Yes. Just a bunch of cowards. Pay them no mind."

Su Qi looked at Jiang Zuo in surprise. She felt as though she could read a lot between the lines of that single sentence.

She was reminded of how Jiang Zuo used to fight Elements, and she whispered, "Don’t you dare cause any trouble."

Jiang Zuo nodded.

’Of course I won’t cause any trouble.’

There was a great deal of elemental energy here. While it wouldn’t be enough to cause him any real problems, a fight would certainly be a huge hassle.

Especially since these Elements were also Elemental Minions under a commander.

If Jiang Zuo’s senses weren’t mistaken, there were quite a few Elemental Spirits here.

Elemental Spirits were not easy to deal with.

On the Elemental Level, Jiang Zuo wouldn’t have cared.

But in the physical world, it was a different story. They possessed considerable individual strength, and with his current power, Jiang Zuo was not yet strong enough to wage war against Elemental Spirits in the physical world.

Soon, they walked into a Magic Barrier. It sealed off both the Elements and Spiritual Qi.

As soon as they entered, Hiller explained, "Due to some energy anomalies on East Water Island, this place blocks all external energy. However, it doesn’t block an individual’s own internal power."

Jiang Zuo had noticed this the moment he stepped inside. He could no longer sense the vast Elements on the Elemental Level. The only thing he could still perceive were the Fire Elemental Minions that stayed by his side.

New Mages must be able to sense the Elemental Level to cast Magic, but once a Mage can enter the Elemental Level, they can possess their own personal domain on that level.

However, the amount of power within it is limited—far from enough for a Mage to unleash their full strength.

But from the very beginning, Jiang Zuo had been able to enter it, and he had started conquering territory right away.

Since the Fire Elemental Minions were willing to stay by his side, he naturally acquired his own territory.

Ever since Jiang Zuo started beating up Elements, he had essentially been abandoned by them. Entering a Barrier like this had no effect on him whatsoever.

As for the effect on his Spiritual Qi, that was a different matter. It did affect him.

But it wasn’t a big deal. He still couldn’t beat the ones who were stronger than him, and the ones he could beat were absolutely no match for him anyway. So, the presence or absence of Spiritual Qi made no difference.

Su Qi, however, felt uncomfortable. "This feeling... it’s like I’ve finished the water in my cup and can’t get a refill."

Hiller spoke up again, "We don’t mean to target anyone personally. This is an unavoidable defensive measure."

Su Qi nodded. She could understand. Since it affected everyone, there was nothing more to be said.

Soon, Jiang Zuo and the others entered the mountain’s interior. Here, they saw a variety of buildings—some were modern, while others resembled ancient Western castles.

And the direction Hiller led them was precisely toward one of those castles.

’Shui Luo must be in the castle.’

Sure enough, after they entered the castle, they saw a female Magic Master sitting in the main seat of the grand hall.

She was resting her chin on her hand, watching Su Qi and Jiang Zuo as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Finally, she spoke. "Did the Holy Land send you just to go through the motions? The Saintess told me as much, so you don’t have to guess at anything else.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Shui Luo."

Hearing Shui Luo’s words, Su Qi felt a little awkward. ’My Senior Sister really will say anything.’

Still, Su Qi said respectfully, "This junior greets you, Senior. You must understand that our systems are different. There really isn’t much we can do."

Shui Luo nodded.

She truly did understand.

Many Cultivators had come before, but they couldn’t even enter the Elemental Level. If they couldn’t even do that, what else was there for them to do?

Trying to make them build an affinity with the Elements was nigh on impossible, and who had the time to waste helping them with that?

It was like asking a Mage to sense Spiritual Qi—an unreasonable demand.

And so, Shui Luo was on the verge of despair.

If they still couldn’t find a solution, she would truly have to abandon this place.

After working so hard for so long, she was truly reluctant to give it all up.

But she couldn’t possibly stay and wage war against the Elements. She didn’t want to ruin her Magic Cultivation.

Shui Luo said, her spirits low, "So, tell me how you plan to go through the motions. We will cooperate fully."

At that moment, Jiang Zuo spoke up. "What’s the problem?"

Shui Luo looked at Jiang Zuo and then frowned. She found she couldn’t see through this person at all, and he was even wearing a mask.

Seeing Shui Luo staring at Jiang Zuo, Su Qi immediately said, "Senior, it’s best not to stare at the mask. It can easily..."

Before Su Qi could finish, a brilliant beam of light shot out from it.

Jiang Zuo: "..."

Su Qi: "..."

"Senior, that’s a side effect of the mask. You can’t look at it directly," Su Qi reminded her.

"You could have told me that sooner," Shui Luo said, retracting her Magic.

’That light just now was truly terrifying. If it didn’t dissipate on its own, it’s hard to say if I would have succeeded in blocking it.’

Shui Luo then averted her gaze and said, "You want to know what the problem is, right? Follow me."

Hiller looked as if she wanted to say something but held her tongue. She had wanted to remind Shui Luo that this man was no ordinary person.

But she never got the chance, which left her feeling helpless.

’I can only hope we don’t offend him.’

Afterward, Jiang Zuo and Su Qi followed Shui Luo out of the castle. Under her guidance, they arrived at the summit of the great mountain.

This was the highest point on East Water Island, a place from which one could look out over the entire island.

And standing here, one could not only look out over East Water Island but also see a scene that did not belong to the physical world.

The moment Su Qi reached the top, she froze.

The first thing she saw was not East Water Island but an endless tide of Elements. Countless Elements had surrounded the entire island.

She could even see the Elements’ rage, their hatred.

It was as if they would not rest until this place was utterly destroyed.

This was the problem of East Water Island: the Elemental Wound.

If these Elements were to pour out all at once, East Water Island would be finished.
