"Zixie is having a breakthrough?"
Gu Ruoyun was mildly shaken. A sense of joy then flashed across her face. "Last time, I had to help him to seal off his power source as it was much too strong. I had only been able to seal it all up slowly. I never thought that he would be able to lift the seal from one of the power sources so soon. I wonder how powerful Zixie's breakthrough will be after he has absorbed the power source."
Yunyao was momentarily silent before she slowly replied, "Master, I can't place a guarantee on how powerful Lord Zixie's breakthrough will be. I can only tell you that he would definitely grow far more powerful than the Vermillion Bird. Furthermore, as the Ancient Divine Pagoda has shielded itself from the world outside, we cannot come out and help you despite our contract. You must be careful on the road ahead."
"Alright, I understand."
Gu Ruoyun gently nodded. The news of Zixie's breakthrough has put her in a very good mood now.
A breakthrough, this means... That Zixie will awaken soon!
"Sister, what's happening?"
Just as Gu Ruoyun was reveling with this good news, a young man's puzzled voice sounded beside her ear, "You looked a bit pale a while ago, why do you look so happy all of a sudden?"
Earlier on, Gu Ruoyun had been communicating with Yunyao through soul telepathy so Xia Linyu, who had been right next to her, was not aware of what had transpired.
Gu Ruoyun gave it a thought before replying, "Yu'er, an unforeseen event has happened in the Ancient Divine Pagoda. If any trouble comes our way, the Vermillion Bird and the spiritual beasts would not be able to come to our aid so I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect you at all times. Hence, I'd like for you to go into Xiao Hei to accompany the Ghost Doctor and the others."
The Divine Weapon, Xiao Hei, was a box which Gu Ruoyun had obtained in the Banished Lands. The box was laden with all sorts of elements which allows a cultivator to grow exponentially in their cultivation.
Hence, the Ghost Doctor and others have remained inside the Divine Weapon.
Unfortunately, as Xiao Hei's Master, Gu Ruoyun was unable to enter and use it for cultivation. Otherwise, she would have broken through to the rank of a Martial Supreme long ago...
"Alright."
Xia Linyu fell momentarily silent before he agreed to Gu Ruoyun's decision in the end.
He knows that based on his current level of power, not only would he be of no help to Gu Ruoyun if he had stayed by her side, he would become a burden to her.
"Let's continue on our journey then."
Once she had finished speaking, Gu Ruoyun rose to her feet. It was also at this moment that the young man who had been right next to her disappeared into the air. It was as if he had turned into thin air and not even his shadow could be seen...
Whoosh!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Just as Gu Ruoyun was about to leave, she was suddenly attacked by countless murderous auras. Wild winds immediately rose throughout the entire forest which was now so quiet that only the sound of wind could be heard.
"Why, at a time like this?"
Her face sank along with the rise of the powerful murderous auras.
An unforeseen event had just occurred in the Ancient Divine Pagoda and now someone has arrived to cause trouble for me. It seems that I won't be able to utilize my final protective charm this time!
Ha!
Gu Ruoyun was in the middle of her thoughts when countless figures in the form of sharp rays of light shot towards her and quickly surrounded her from every angle.
The leader of the group was a middle-aged man. His sharp and cold eyes fell upon Gu Ruoyun as he asked, "You're Gu Ruoyun? Grand Lord Hong Lian's daughter?"
Gu Ruoyun's expression sank even more. Her clear, cold gaze was fixed squarely upon the group surrounding her. She did not respond to his question. Instead, she asked another question in return, "Members of the First City?"
"That's right."
The middle-aged man laughed icily. He did not deny Gu Ruoyun's statement.
After all, to him, this woman does not pose too much of a threat. To prod her into death would be as easy as prodding an ant to death.
