Strangely, both sides tacitly agreed not to deploy Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators, keeping the battle within a relatively controlled range.
Of course, except for the Tiger Capture Team!
Inside the Cangyan Daoist Palace!
Lei Luo was filled with excitement, looking at Yan Xiaohu in front of him with utter admiration.
"Three strikes and you’re out, let’s not disturb our slumbering ancestors any more!" Yan Xiaohu said solemnly after much deliberation.
Lei Luo nodded repeatedly, knowing they couldn’t manage even three strikes.
The new cemetery was heavily fortified, unlike the outside, with numerous restrictions and guarded by those in the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Even the slightest touch would bring Sikong Yan instantly, giving them no time to escape.
Yan Xiaohu took out the latest kill list, noticing he was still ranked fifth, with Eldest Senior Brother Ghost Mastiff, Second Senior Sister Luo Lingling, Golden Thunder Sect’s Lei Lie, and Cyan Feather Immortal Sect’s Zhu He above him.
"It seems it’s impossible to advance further; the difficulty is extraordinary!" Yan Xiaohu sighed.
The fourth was still ranked tenth, no change at all.
Instead, Lei Luo, once unknown, had now made a name for himself, entering the top twenty.
"So, shall we leave tonight?" Lei Luo whispered.
Recently, they had nearly been exposed several times, making it too dangerous to stay.
Facing Lei Luo’s question, Yan Xiaohu nodded, looking serious: "Originally, I planned to sneak away under the guise of a task, but my recent observations revealed that their mountain gate barrier is quite unusual. If we rush out, we’ll easily be discovered."
Lei Luo agreed: "I think it even seems more advanced than my Golden Thunder Sect’s, with a hint of red light at the barrier."
"An entry-level One-Color Restriction Barrier, covering the entire sect, truly exorbitant!" Yan Xiaohu admired.
When they entered that day, the mountain gate barrier was wide open, so there was no careful examination. Now, to prevent others from sneaking in, security had become extraordinarily tight, requiring multiple checks to pass.
Lei Luo quickly said: "Master Jue, didn’t you say you had a way out?"
Yan Xiaohu immediately took out a pearl, its colors much dimmer.
"What’s this?" Lei Luo asked curiously.
Yan Xiaohu proudly said: "A Boundary-breaking Pearl, a gift from my brother-in-law, now with only one use left. Not sure if it can get us through?"
Saying this, the pride on his face gradually faded, replaced by worry.
There were a total of three chances; he used one when taking the fourth out of the Taiqing Sect, and another when entering the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect.
Fortunately, he didn’t waste these last two months, specially noting several weak spots in the restrictions. Normally, there shouldn’t be a problem.
Lei Luo was curious; when did you get a brother-in-law? And is this reliable?
"Follow the plan, let’s move!" Yan Xiaohu ordered without more explanation.
Lei Luo’s eyes lit up, immediately pulling out a big brush, looking excited: "Been ready for a long time!"
The two quickly left in the dark...
The next day, Palace Master Sikong Yan looked grimly at the "masterpiece" before him. The surrounding people were so frightened by his demeanor that they didn’t dare to breathe, making the scene eerily silent.
Just as everyone was on edge, Sikong Yan suddenly smiled, an inscrutable expression on his face.
"These two guys are getting more interesting. Send the order; I want them alive!"
After speaking, Sikong Yan left with his hands behind his back.
Everyone looked at each other, then at what lay before them.
This was the plaza where Cangyan Daoist Palace held significant ceremonies, now with bold messages left on the huge jade pillars, almost identical to those in the ancestral land.
[Hey hey hey, little Cangyan Daoist Palace, your Master Jue comes and goes as he pleases.]
[Next time I, Lei Luo, return, I will personally level you. The men will be slaves, and the women will be prostitutes.]
[Five Great Prodigies? Brainless, brawny idiots, the remaining three belong to your Master Jue. Wash your necks and wait.]
[Protect your cemetery well. Who knows, on a dark windy night, Master Jue might come again. Don’t skimp on burial items, or it’ll be too shabby.]
[Heads up, we’re still in the palace. Come find us and we’ll have some fun.]
All thirty-six white jade pillars were covered with such arrogant remarks, a glaring sight.
But that wasn’t the worst; they even urinated at the pillars to further insult and provoke.
One smell, they couldn’t tell whose it was, but it was rank and obnoxious.
Everyone present turned red with anger, gritting their teeth, and immediately launched a thorough investigation.
Meanwhile, two figures far from Cangyan Daoist Palace laughed heartily as they roamed freely.
It was incredibly thrilling; they had worried that the pearl might fail, forcing them to rush back and clean up, lying low until the next opportunity, but it worked well.
"Next time we meet my brother-in-law, I’m getting that big pearl from him!" Yan Xiaohu said excitedly.
Just where might brother-in-law be now?
