Chapter 497: Total Rejection
He couldn’t help but turn his head to Xuening.
Xuening was still surrounded by the five-colored light.
Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness still couldn’t perceive the details inside.
However, there were still ripples of energy, like waves in water, constantly spreading outward.
This power was still immense.
It seemed to repel anyone who entered the ruins.
At that moment, the five-colored energy shield on Su Jingzhen’s body shattered and dissipated.
When the wave-like energy swept over Su Jingzhen, it didn’t affect him at all.It simply bypassed him gently.
Su Jingzhen’s expression became increasingly shocked.
His Niwan Palace Divine Consciousness surged out, following the wave-like energy.
He saw countless cultivators still lingering in the ruins, regardless of their realm, all being pushed back to the gray mist barrier they had entered.
Then, they were slowly driven out of the ruins completely.
“Impressive…”
Su Jingzhen had never heard of or seen such a method.
It was definitely the most extraordinary ability he had encountered since he entered this cultivation world.
This energy originated from the Yunmeng Goddess statue, and if a statue could possess such power, how powerful would the Yunmeng Goddess herself be?
“What is the relationship between Xuening and the Yunmeng Goddess?”
Su Jingzhen looked at the five-colored ball of light and muttered to himself again.
While Su Jingzhen was guarding Xuening, countless cultivators from various factions were completely confused and filled with endless fear.
“I don’t want to go out, I don’t want to go out!”
“What’s going on? Where is this power coming from?
“I seem to have no control over myself.”
“…”
As countless people were pushed toward the gray mist barrier, the energy surrounding them dissipated.
They tried to return to the ruins, but another force pulled them away.
The force that repelled them was like waves, each one stronger than the last.
“That power isn’t coming from Su Jingzhen of the Evil Moon Sect’s branch.
It came from the five-colored ball of light behind him!
When I was expelled, I clearly saw Su Jingzhen standing still.
What kind of fortune is this?”
The four Soul Formation level cultivators who had attacked Su Jingzhen at the Yunmeng Goddess statue were shocked, but their eyes were filled with even more fierceness and greed.
“Everyone, let’s join forces again!
This energy is too much. If we can get it, maybe we won’t have to fear Shen Yifeng anymore!”
“Right, most of the top forces have already left. We are considered to be the last batch.
This is our luck.”
“…”
With a few words, the four of them once again reached an agreement.
The auras of the four Soul Formation level cultivators immediately rose within the gray mist barrier.
They joined forces and formed a thick barrier.
They wanted to withstand the immense power in front of them and charge back into the White Jade Plaza of the Ruins.
But as soon as they had crossed less than three meters, another powerful wave of energy surged towards them.
“Crack!”
At that moment, all the four of them could hear was a crisp sound.
The defensive barrier they had formed together was instantly shattered.
And this time, the force that hit their combined power carried a hint of sharpness.
It directly knocked the four of them back.
Even though they were all Soul Formation level cultivators, they couldn’t help but stir their qi and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Even this time, they were directly blasted out of the gray mist barrier, completely thrown out of the Dantang Ruins.
Inside the barrier, many people saw what the four of them had done. At that moment, their hearts were filled with dread.
They no longer had any hope of returning to the ruins to cultivate.
They all left the barrier and returned to Dan Holy City.
At that time, the Alchemist Association’s group had already gathered at the previous location of the Breaking Formation Flag.
At that moment, Ouyang Mingyue was about to collect the Breaking Formation Flag and end this trip to Dantai Ruins.
But when he suddenly saw the changes here, his expression couldn’t help but be startled.
“Did we come out too early?
There seems to be something going on inside.”
Ouyang Mingyue’s mung bean eyes spun around on his chubby face.
He immediately stopped collecting the Breaking Formation Flag.
“When we entered, Miss Xuening must have had many feelings.
Although we can all confirm that this is her first time here, she seems to be quite familiar with the place.
If anything else could happen there at this time, it should all come from Miss Xuening.”
Ouyang Mingyue’s words made Ye Zhiqiu behind him look solemn.
“Master, can we go in again?”
Ye Zhiqiu had received her own fortune in the main hall. After waking up, she didn’t see Xuening and Su Jingzhen.
Her heart was a little lost.
Ouyang Mingyue didn’t react to Ye Zhiqiu right away.
Spreading his aura, he took a step forward and stood directly on the Breaking Formation Flag.
A mysterious energy instantly enveloped the huge Breaking Formation Flag.
Just as Ouyang Mingyue was about to attempt to break through the gray mist barrier again and enter the Dantai Ruins, a huge wave of energy crashed into him.
A huge wave of energy hit him head on.
Ouyang Mingyue was like a ball of flesh being thrown back.
His energy fluctuated, and a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
“Such a powerful force!”
Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu’s faces changed slightly.
Just as they were about to help Ouyang Mingyue up, the Breaking Formation Flag planted on the ground was instantly toppled by a powerful force.
The opening torn by the shattering formation flag was instantly healed.
All the cultivators who were still within the range of the gray mist barrier, whether they were casual cultivators or disciples of top powers, were all expelled, and not a single one remained.
However, the number of people here was now almost half of what it had been before.
Those people would be trapped in the Dantang Ruins forever.
At that moment, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
They were still confused by what had just happened.
“That power, even a Divine Intent Realm cultivator probably wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
And it was filled with a sacred meaning, similar to the aura emanating from the Yunmeng Goddess statue.
Could it be that they actually managed to trigger the Yunmeng Goddess statue?”
Ouyang Mingyue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He put down the Breaking Formation Flag and muttered to himself as he pondered.
This time, all the members of the Alchemist Association had come with the intention of making a big splash.
They thought that as alchemists, they would have many advantages inside the ruins.
However, except for Ye Zhiqiu, who had followed Su Jingzhen and the others and received some benefits, even the vice president, Ouyang Mingyue, had gotten almost nothing.
A wasted journey.
“Master, what should we do now?”
Ye Zhiqiu’s expression was filled with worry.
Of course, this worry was not for Ouyang Mingyue.
It was for Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
“Let’s wait here for now.
Let’s see if they come out of here.
If we don’t see Su Jingzhen and the others in the Dan Holy City, then Zhiqiu, you should return to Linjiang City.
The development of the Linjiang branch of our alchemist association and the direction it will take in the future will be entirely up to you.
The headquarters will not interfere in any way.
Of course, if you need anything, just let the headquarters know.”
This trip to the Dantai Ruins seemed to have changed some of Ouyang Mingyue’s views.
And his words were also a kind of hint to Ye Zhiqiu. A kind of hint.
