In an instant, both Jin Wu and Xiahou Sheng’s faces drastically changed!
They fiercely stimulated their True Yuan, trying to break free from the restraints of the array.
However, the result was an even more horrifying discovery for them: not only were they unable to break free at that moment, but even the likes of Xie Huang below them were met with the same fate!
Five enormous beams of light distinctly separated the disciples of the Turquoise Pool Sect and the Ten Thousand Treasure Sect from those of Seven Stars Pavilion, Cangmang Valley, and the Xiahou family.
It was as if some invisible chains were tightly binding the people of the Three Great Sects, preventing them from escaping in the short term.
"Damn it! What the hell is happening? Who is behind this?!"
Jin Wu’s face contorted with ferocity, his eyes filled with endless brutality as he glared at the already far-off Ye Haitang.
It made sense, after all—a duck that was almost cooked had just flown away, and it’s hard to believe that anyone would be willing to let that slide.
Yet Ye Haitang had not bothered with that. At this moment, she had already reached the side of Zhu Fei and Wan Qianqiu, her eyes slightly complex as she looked at Zhu Fei.
By now, she didn’t even need to ask to know that this Five Elements Sky Locking Array had definitely sprung from Zhu Fei’s hands.
"Senior Sister Ye, Brother Wan, we should hurry and leave. This Five Elements Sky Locking Array of mine is currently only a Level 4 Grand Trapping Array, and locking up so many people, I doubt it can hold for long," Zhu Fei first nodded at Ye Haitang with a smile and then spoke seriously to the two of them.
"Hmm, Brother Zhu is right. Senior Sister Ye, let’s follow Brother Zhu’s plan and quickly leave this place. We can seek revenge on another day," Wan Qianqiu gave Zhu Fei a deep look before nodding in agreement.
Honestly, Wan Qianqiu had not expected the method of escape that Zhu Fei mentioned before to be this current Five Elements Sky Locking Array.
The Five Elements Sky Locking Array was a Level 4 grand scale Trapping Array, among the top tier. That Zhu Fei could complete such an array in such a short amount of time drastically elevated Wan Qianqiu’s opinion of him, and he no longer dared to underestimate him.
No matter what, in today’s Kunlun Xuan Realm, the weight of a Level 4 Array Master was not the slightest bit weaker than that of a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator like himself.
On the contrary, sometimes their status might even be higher.
"Okay, for this matter, thank you, Junior Brother Zhu."
Ye Haitang nodded, and likewise gave Zhu Fei a deep look, her tone finally softened as she spoke.
At that moment, no one had the desire to linger for battle, and they all quickly followed Ye Haitang, Wan Qianqiu, and Zhu Fei, speeding away into the distance.
"Golden Core Seventh Level brat! I, Xie Huang, will remember you today. Next time, if there’s a chance, I will undoubtedly kill you!"
It was not long after they had flown away when suddenly, the raging roar of Xie Huang echoed from behind.
At this point, if Xie Huang still couldn’t see that Zhu Fei was the one behind all this, then his reaction would indeed be a bit too slow.
"Humph! Next time, we’ll see who kills whom," Zhu Fei coldly chuckled without saying more, speeding up along with the others. In the blink of an eye, they completely disappeared from the Divine Sense coverage of Xie Huang and the others.
An hour later, the group appeared beside an extremely broad river.
Wan Qianqiu glanced at Ye Haitang, finally managing a wry smile, "Senior Sister Ye, I have a mission to fulfill, and I’m afraid I cannot continue the journey with your sect."
He paused, then took out a Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman from his person and handed it to Ye Haitang, adding,
"I give this talisman to Senior Sister Ye. If you run into any trouble later, you can use it to contact me."
As he spoke, Wan Qianqiu also looked towards Zhu Fei, smiling amiably as he nodded in acknowledgment.
"Brother Zhu, I thank you for the earlier incident. However, Senior Sister Ye is the person I admire, and even if Brother Zhu has done me a favor, I will not easily give up. Please take care, farewell!"
Having said that, Wan Qianqiu ignored the astonished looks from Zhu Fei and Ye Haitang and headed straight to the injured disciples of the Turquoise Pool Sect, bowing his fists to them before swiftly leading his fellow disciples away, vanishing before Zhu Fei and the others in the blink of an eye.
"Ahem... Senior Sister Ye, did that gentleman just now misunderstand something?"
Zhu Fei said to Ye Haitang with some embarrassment as he watched the direction in which Wan Qianqiu and his people had departed.
Instantly, Ye Haitang’s icy gaze swept over to him.
"Zhu Fei, I hope you can restrain yourself. You should be aware of your status. Junior Sister Mengyun is to be your future dao companion."
After saying that, Ye Haitang no longer spared Zhu Fei a glance and directly headed towards a few of the recently injured disciples.
Zhu Fei was immediately left speechless.
This woman’s self-perception is a bit too favorable, isn’t it? And now, how different is her current behavior from the saying ’crossing the river and tearing down the bridge’?
Zhu Fei couldn’t help but think to himself with some inward criticism, but he also knew that sometimes, there’s no reasoning with women.
He simply didn’t bother to dwell on these thoughts any further, and while following Ye Haitang, he asked,
"Senior Sister Ye Haitang, do we also have a mission in this Heavenly Road Secret Realm? If so, should you not share it with everyone now?"
Zhu Fei needed to understand this; otherwise, he might as well explore the Secret Realm by himself.
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s question, Ye Haitang clearly furrowed her brows, but ultimately, she spoke,
"To find traces of the Tongtian Bridge, and in addition, if possible, try to gather as many Mother-child Yin Thunder seeds as we can. As for the rest, that will depend on your own fortune, which I will not interfere with."
Mother-child Yin Thunder seeds are naturally formed from the thunderous elements of heaven and earth. With a bit of cultivation, one can obtain the actual Mother-child Yin Thunder.
Such an item is considered part of a sect’s foundation, extremely powerful in its lethality. Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator could be gravely injured or even killed upon impact.
Zhu Fei didn’t question this, but the mention of the Tongtian Bridge by Ye Haitang puzzled him somewhat.
In any case, his time in the Kunlun Xuan Realm was only a year in total, and he was still unaware of the Tongtian Bridge and such secretive matters.
After a moment of thought, Zhu Fei finally asked, "Could you explain in detail about the Tongtian Bridge?"
He knew that as the daughter of the former master of the ’Spiritual Palace’ and the current senior sister of the Turquoise Pool Sect, as well as the leader of their little team, Ye Haitang must have some understanding of the matter.
Otherwise, Yao Ling’er would not have entrusted such a task to Ye Haitang in the first place.
