Chapter 356: The Attacking Criminals

"I have already suppressed the influence of the Grimoire that manipulates accumulated time on you," Lingyun said with a smile to Nangong Nayue in front of him.

"I never imagined you had such skills; to think you could even suppress the power of that kind of high-level Grimoire," Nangong Nayue said with some astonishment.

"Uh, this isn't just my own credit," Lingyun spread his hands, as it was Ruoxi in the Cloud Realm who analyzed the secrets of the Grimoire. "However, if my replica were still around, there wouldn't be so many troublesome matters."

"A replica?" Nangong Nayue raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, that replica underwent my upgrades; although it didn't have much of an increase in terms of attack power, it had an extremely powerful boost when it came to countering magic and Contracts," Lingyun said. "The name of that replica was 'Rule Breaker', but unfortunately, it shattered during a battle, and I never went to make another one afterward."

"'Rule Breaker'?" Nangong Nayue raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt appearing in her gaze as she looked at Lingyun. "By the way, how is the situation over at the Prison Barrier?"

"The Prison Barrier?" Lingyun muttered, then his mind quickly connected to a Mystic Mirror placed in the shadows of the Prison Barrier.

"The battle over at the Prison Barrier has already ended. It seems my guess was not wrong at all; the Three Sages of the Lion King Organization are all on Itogami Island now. By the time those two arrived at the Prison Barrier, the Six Extremes Sealing God Array had already vanished, and the Attack Mages of the Lion King Organization had already fallen into a perilous situation," Lingyun described the scene he saw. "However, the criminals of the Prison Barrier are also quite clever; they didn't engage in a fierce conflict with the two Three Sages of the Lion King Organization, but instead wisely chose to retreat."

"Mm." Nangong Nayue nodded somewhat distractedly.

"Yuejiang, didn't you say Itogami Island was your territory? Why have so many Attack Mages from the Lion King Organization appeared?" Lingyun asked teasingly.

"Hmph, you know very well in your heart!" Nangong Nayue said crossly.

"It seems the Commune on Itogami Island doesn't trust you as much as one might imagine!" Lingyun sighed lightly.

"Let's not talk about this for now. What about those prisoners from the Prison Barrier? Where did they go?" Nangong Nayue averted her gaze and simultaneously changed the subject.

"The prisoners from the Prison Barrier? They are all heading toward this place collectively," Lingyun said.

"Heading toward me?" Nangong Nayue was somewhat puzzled.

"Because Xiandumu Aye said that you have only temporarily lost your power, and as long as you recover your power, reconstructing a Prison Barrier would be a matter of a single breath. Therefore, in order to avoid being captured by you into the Prison Barrier again, these prisoners have listed you as their primary target for assassination. As for other matters, they have temporarily cast them to the back of their minds!" Lingyun said.

"Are they all heading here?" Nangong Nayue let out a soft breath.

"By the way, there is also a troublesome guy coming along," Lingyun said.

"Who is it?"

"Vatler!"

"What is that battle maniac coming here for?"

"Of course, it's for the interesting battle about to happen here!" Vatler laughed loudly as he jumped in through the window.

It was just a pity that before his feet could touch the ground, Lingyun's figure quietly appeared before him, and he slammed a heavy punch into his abdomen.

This punch didn't have much lethality, but it possessed a terrifying impact force, directly blasting Vatler out through the window.

"Sorry, my home doesn't welcome terrorists," Lingyun retracted his fist and said indifferently.

Vatler, who had been blasted away by Lingyun, flipped in the air and landed on the ground: "Tsk tsk, I remember this is the home of the Witch of the Void—Nangong Nayue, how did it become your home?"

"That is not something you need to concern yourself with," Lingyun said coldly.

"Lingyun, they are here!" Liuli suddenly spoke up.

Lingyun looked into the distance; although no figures had appeared, within the range of his spiritual sense, many streams of malicious energy suddenly appeared, rapidly approaching this location.

"Let's go out. If this Villa is destroyed, I imagine Yuejiang would be angry, right?" Lingyun said.

The group exited the Villa, and rays of light of different colors suddenly rose around the perimeter of the Villa, forming a special Array that enveloped the entire Villa within it.

Just at this moment, a massive vortex-shaped hurricane suddenly appeared in the pitch-black sky. Following a sharp, vibrating sound, what accompanied the whirlwind were huge clusters of wind. These wind clusters whistled down from the sky and smashed fiercely toward Nangong Nayue's Villa.

"Such audacity!" A flash of fury crossed Lingyun's eyes.

One must know that quite a few people live in this area, and the other party was actually using such a powerful, large-scale technique here so brazenly; they simply did not care about the lives of the people here.

With a "hum," a hurricane suddenly swirled up around Lingyun, and a cyan Wind Dragon darted out from his side, opening its maw to swallow all the wind clusters in the sky into its belly.

"What kind of Technique is this?" A criminal from the Prison Barrier who looked like a delinquent youth suddenly dropped from the sky, letting out an exclamation.

Just as he appeared, one figure after another appeared in front of the Villa. Without exception, these people all carried terrifying Evil Energy and thick malice.

"Lingyun, among these people, the four most noteworthy are those four," Nangong Nayue said softly at Lingyun's side.

"Xiutela D, a descendant of the Heavenly Tribe, can use psychokinesis to drive the 'Phantom Arm' to generate powerful shockwaves," Nangong Nayue pointed at the delinquent youth. "The attack just now must have been unleashed by him."

"That is Ji Liule Qilaodi, a bloodline clan member of the Third Progenitor 'Chaos Empress', an 'Old Generation' level Vampire. Her familiar can manipulate other people's minds; she is a quite dangerous individual," Nangong Nayue's gaze swept toward a woman who looked very frivolous.

After speaking, Nangong Nayue looked toward a tall and burly man wearing armor and carrying a giant sword on his shoulder: "Bulude Danba Gelafu, a former mercenary hired by the Western European Church, is a descendant of the Dragon Slayer Clan's Saint George. He possesses terrifying strength and has the ability to slay a familiar in a single strike."

Finally, Nangong Nayue's gaze fell upon an old man with a shaved head wearing lama attire. "He is Qilijia Jilika, a monster who has implanted the 'Fire Spirit' Technique into his body; he can control powerful flames."

"Apart from these four people, the others are, in a sense, no different from cannon fodder to you."

"Descendant of the Heavenly Tribe... descendant of the Dragon Slayer Clan... descendant of the Chaos Empress... manipulator of the Fire Spirit..." Vatler looked at the people appearing on the scene, and looking at the people present, he let out a wanton, wild laugh. "Good, this is truly too good! This is the battle I wanted!"

"Did Xiandumu Aye not come? It's truly a pity. I originally wanted to wipe them all out in one go; it seems that is impossible now," Lingyun sighed lightly.

"Since you have come here, how could I not properly fulfill the duties of a host? All of you, just stay here for me!" Lingyun suddenly stomped on the ground, and countless Array Patterns spread out in all directions with him as the center.

The Array Patterns quickly intertwined, instantly enveloping this entire area and forming a powerful Trapping Array, trapping everyone within it.
