Chapter 503: Leaving for a While

~8 min read 1,591 words

Hearing Ye Lingyun's words.

Su Yutong's expression flickered, and she did not continue speaking.

Seeing that the four women were all silent.

Ye Lingyun sneered, "You all must be very eager to stall for time right now, aren't you?"

"Let me guess what you are planning..."

"As far as I know, Qingcheng and the others have already left the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace. Now, within the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, the only one who can support you is that little slut Mu Lingxi."

"You fought desperately to block me earlier to let Yun Xin escape; it must have been to have her go and seek reinforcements from that little slut Mu Lingxi, right?"

"Heh, you don't actually think that Mu Lingxi can change the outcome of the battle just by coming here, do you?"

"Fine..."

"Aren't you trying to stall for time? I will give you this opportunity."

As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged in mid-air.

"Haha, waiting for a rabbit to hit a tree stump, good idea, Brother Ye."

Hearing Ye Lingyun's words, Di immediately reacted and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Aside from that piece of trash Wang Jianqiang, that slut Mu Lingxi is the most hateful. If we can wipe her out in one fell swoop on this trip, that would be for the best."

"I just don't know if she dares to show herself."

Ye Lingyun smiled confidently, "Daoist Friend Di, rest assured. Based on my understanding of Mu Lingxi, she will definitely come."

Upon hearing this, Di's eyes became brighter than ever before.

Listening to the words of Di and Ye Lingyun, the Great Star Envoy frowned imperceptibly.

For some reason.

The moment Ye Lingyun made the decision to "wait for a rabbit to hit a tree stump," a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in her heart.

It was indescribable and unclear.

She secretly employed the Star Image Power to perform a divination.

The first floor of the Great Desolate Ancient Tower.

Wang Jianqiang was searching for the passage to the second-floor space.

A sense of being watched from the unknown suddenly surged into his heart.

His heart stirred.

Golden light welled up in his eyes, and he looked up at the sky abruptly.

Under the insight of the Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze.

Wisps of silver light suddenly appeared in the previously empty sky.

These silver rays of light converged together, looking down upon the world like a pair of emotionless eyes of the Heavenly Dao.

The sense of being watched he had felt earlier came precisely from these "eyes."

He frowned, and the golden light in his eyes flared brilliantly.

Two golden beams of light shot out from his eyes and landed upon the "eyes" in the sky.

That pair of silver eyes was directly shattered.

The second-floor space.

The Great Star Envoy's slightly closed eyes snapped open.

Beneath the mask covering her face, her brows furrowed slightly.

She hadn't managed to divine a single result?

Could the sense of foreboding from just now have been a mere illusion?

Impossible?

Her intuition had always been accurate, and she had never experienced an illusion before.

Thinking of this.

She frowned as she looked at the four people within the Purple Haze Star Array, then turned her gaze toward Ye Lingyun and Di.

At this moment, both of them appeared calm and collected, as if they had everything under control.

Di's red lips parted beneath the mask, and an ethereal voice rang out in their minds, "Two Daoist Friends, to avoid complications, I think it would be best to kill these four as soon as possible."

Hearing the Great Star Envoy's telepathic message, Ye Lingyun's expression shifted; he looked at the Great Star Envoy and replied with a grave expression, "Daoist Friend Great Star Envoy, have you divined some kind of crisis?"

The Great Star Envoy shook her head, "I have not divined a crisis, but I have a premonition that if we keep waiting like this, something might go wrong."

Hearing the Great Star Envoy's words, the grave look on Ye Lingyun's face instantly dissipated.

He shook his head with a faint, amused smile.

He had long since witnessed the Great Star Envoy's divination methods.

They were very strong.

If the other party had divined something, he would certainly choose to believe it.

But it was merely a premonition...

To put it nicely, it was called a premonition; to put it bluntly, it was nothing more than a guess.

Thinking of this, he smiled at the Great Star Envoy, "The Great Star Envoy has always been cautious in her actions, and I can understand that, but sometimes, being too cautious is not a good thing."

After Ye Lingyun's words fell, Di gave a mocking laugh, "Daoist Friend Great Star Envoy, aren't you being a bit too cautious? Among that group of Wang Jianqiang's, the only one who can be considered a threat is Wang Jianqiang himself. Never mind that his life or death is currently unknown and he is not in the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace; even if he were, with the strength of the three of us, what is there to fear?"

If Ye Lingyun's words were somewhat tactful, then Di's words were quite blunt.

Seeing that the two had made up their minds.

The Great Star Envoy sighed inwardly and did not try to persuade them any further.

As the three waited, time passed bit by bit.

Youyou, Wang Yuyao, Su Yutong, and Yang Wanxin sat silently in the Purple Haze Star Array, while Ye Lingyun and the others waited for Mu Lingxi to arrive so they could capture them all at once.

And they, too, wanted to wait for Mu Lingxi to arrive, to fight for a chance at survival.

Since Ye Lingyun and the others were willing to wait, they were naturally happy to oblige.

Outside the Formation.

Ye Lingyun and Di looked as usual, neither hurried nor impatient.

But the face beneath the Great Star Envoy's mask was gradually becoming restless.

As time passed.

The ominous premonition in her heart rapidly grew intense.

By now, it had even transformed into a warning, like a Big Bell constantly tolling, signaling to her that a crisis was imminent.

Yet.

During this process, no matter how she divined, she could not obtain the slightest bit of information.

After another moment.

The sense of crisis in her heart soared abruptly.

If it had just been a warning bell ringing earlier, at this moment, the sense of crisis in her heart had completely burst its banks.

It was like a surging torrent drowning her.

It gave her a feeling of suffocation.

Run!

Run quickly!

In her heart, a voice was roaring frantically.

At this moment.

She dared not hesitate any longer.

She looked at the motionless Ye Lingyun and Di, gritted her teeth, tapped her finger between her brows, and a Purple Mark appeared.

"Daoist Friend Ye, I suddenly remembered a private matter I must attend to, and I will return very soon. This is the Core Mark of the Purple Haze Star Array; you can use this mark to control the Formation."

"During the time I am away, please temporarily take charge of the Purple Haze Star Array, Daoist Friend."

Saying this, she flicked her finger.

The mark flew toward Ye Lingyun.

Without waiting for Ye Lingyun's response, she hurriedly flew away into the distance.

At this moment, the sense of crisis in her heart had reached its extreme.

She no longer cared to pay any attention to the four women, Youyou and the others.

Because, in her perception.

Even if Ye Lingyun and Di agreed to strike immediately, there was no longer enough time.

Ye Lingyun subconsciously caught the mark of the Purple Haze Star Array.

Watching the Great Star Envoy's figure hurriedly flying away, he felt a wave of astonishment in his heart.

The Great Star Envoy had actually left so hurriedly.

It didn't look like she was leaving to attend to business at all; it looked more like she was fleeing for her life.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the Great Star Envoy's recent suggestion.

Business to attend to?

Could she be running away?

At this moment.

He couldn't help but recall the scene during the Immortal Palace Assessment, when the Floating Pavilion appeared in a mountain range in the Desolate Domain, and he encountered the Great Star Envoy and Ji Ruan.

At that time.

The Great Star Envoy had also suddenly fled just like this...

And afterwards, Wang Jianqiang had arrived!

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly gave a violent jolt.

It couldn't be!

He looked at the four women in the Purple Haze Star Array, his gaze hesitant.

But in the end, he still made his choice.

Since the Great Star Envoy had left so hurriedly, it proved that the situation was already extremely urgent.

Killing them, he feared, was already too late.

Thinking of this.

He turned to look at Di and said calmly.

"Daoist Friend Di, Ye sees that the Great Star Envoy left so hurriedly; I imagine the matter she has to attend to must be quite troublesome. Since we are friends, Ye intends to go and help."

"This way, I can also help her return as quickly as possible to deal with the approaching Mu Lingxi."

"Take this mark; if there are any changes, just send a voice transmission to Ye."

Saying this, he flicked the Purple Mark in his hand out.

Before Di could react.

His figure flickered and disappeared.
