Chapter 433: Siege

A pillar of light lit up, attracting the attention of countless people.

Mu Suyi, Shi Ruo, and Wei Feng were naturally among them.

"What is that?" Shi Ruo asked in surprise.

Wei Feng's body trembled: "Could that be the inheritance of the Wa Maiden?"

Mu Suyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Someone is receiving the Wa Maiden's inheritance; let's hurry over and take a look."

The gold in his eyes was also somewhat impatient.

"Let's go!"

The three turned into a stream of light, skimming across the earth, and rushed toward the place of the light pillar.

At this moment, the first to arrive at the location of the light pillar were, surprisingly, Guo Mei and Wang Lu.

Because the two were closest to the light pillar, they arrived first.

"Look quickly, there's someone!" Guo Mei stood under an ancient tree, looking toward the light pillar, her eyes half-closed.

This was because the light pillar was too intense, making it extremely blinding.

Wang Lu also tried hard to open her eyes to look, but she saw three figures.

Among them, two tall and beautiful women were guarding the side of the light pillar.

In the center of the light pillar, there was a man with his eyes closed, seemingly receiving something.

Seeing that man, Wang Lu's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but blurt out: "Lin Gui?"

She recognized that the man in the center of the light pillar was indeed Lin Gui, who had left without saying goodbye.

Her heart was filled with both surprise and confusion.

Beside her, Guo Mei asked curiously: "You know him?"

"He is from our Academy, my junior fellow apprentice.

That Mid-level Life Puppet I have behind me was a gift from him!" Wang Lu said excitedly, "Why is he here, and still..."

She did not know what was happening.

Just then, a voice came from the air.

"You know that person?" The speaker was none other than Wei Feng, who had just arrived.

Seeing this, Wang Lu remained silent, regretting that she had called out.

Wei Feng smiled and said nothing more.

Shi Ruo looked at the man under the light pillar, her face showing excitement: "Senior Brother Mu, is he that God Bone holder?

I didn't expect to be able to encounter him here."

Shi Ruo admired that God Bone holder immensely.

He did not expect to be able to encounter him here.

"To be able to create this kind of disturbance, it must be him without a doubt," Wei Feng said from the side.

Hearing this, Wang Lu was somewhat bewildered.

These three also knew Lin Gui?

Beside her, Guo Mei's expression changed slightly, shifting from confusion to excitement, and she transmitted her voice: "Wang Lu, your junior fellow apprentice is that God Bone holder who has recently become famous!"

"What?"

"He is the God Bone holder who took away all the Ancient God statues!"

"It's him!"

Wang Lu was completely shocked.

She had naturally heard of that God Bone holder.

The Ancient God Temple in Jinzhou City opened, an Evil God broke in, and all the God Bone holders were in imminent danger; a mysterious God Bone holder appeared out of nowhere, slew the Evil God, and saved all the God Bone holders present at the time.

Such a powerful God Bone holder, a person comparable to a god, was actually her junior fellow apprentice?

She did not understand.

She was very puzzled.

If it really was the same person, why would he come to their Academy to learn the Puppet Making Technique?

"You are going to strike it rich," Guo Mei smiled like a flower, "If I were..."

On the other side, Mu Suyi stood to the side, seemingly waiting for something.

"That person is receiving the Wa Maiden's inheritance; we must not disturb him, understand?" Mu Suyi spoke, looking like a refined gentleman.

Shi Ruo nodded: "Rest assured, Senior Brother Mu, we will certainly protect that God Bone holder."

Mu Suyi smiled.

He naturally did not truly intend to let the Wa Maiden's inheritance go to that God Bone holder.

The Wa Maiden's inheritance carried great risks; since someone was receiving it first, he would let that person test for danger first.

When the time came, he would be able to reap the rewards as the fisherman.

At this moment, he did not reveal his intentions, appearing as if he were truly guarding Lin Chao.

However, his calmness disappeared after an hour.

"As expected of that God Bone holder, the Wa Maiden's inheritance seems to be about to be obtained by him," Shi Ruo could not help but exclaim.

The light pillar was getting smaller and smaller, signifying that the person had already obtained most of the inheritance.

According to Mu Suyi's estimation, in another half an hour, the inheritance would be entirely in that person's hands.

Moreover, that person had not suffered any backlash.

This made Mu Suyi suspect: could the information he received be wrong?

Was there no risk in receiving the Wa Maiden's inheritance?

"That person with the God Bone is truly a divine being; in another half an hour, he will surely obtain the Wa Girl inheritance!"

"Our Heavenly Court will once again add a powerful combat force!" Shi Ruo said, his face full of excitement.

A look of jealousy flashed in Wei Feng's eyes: "Heaven bless the Ancient Tang Empire!"

The golden light in Mu Suyi's eyes also grew somewhat anxious.

A telepathic message fell into his ears.

"Release your body, and let me descend."

Hearing this, a fanatical expression appeared on Mu Suyi's face.

A majestic aura radiated from Mu Suyi's body.

That aura was as vast as the stars and as heavy as one hundred thousand great mountains.

The expressions of Shi Ruo and Wei Feng, who were nearby, changed drastically.

This is... an Elder descending?

The rank of an Elder of the Heavenly Court is comparable to the gods of the Pantheon.

To think that an Elder was residing within Mu Suyi's body.

This shows that this trip to the Ancient God Temple is certainly not as simple as imagined.

"Greetings, Elder."

Seeing this, Shi Ruo and Wei Feng hurriedly paid their respects to the Elder.

Their status was low, and they did not know which Elder was before them.

The Heavenly Court Elder, having descended upon Mu Suyi, glanced at the two and instructed: "The Wa Girl inheritance must not fall into the hands of an outsider; I must seize it back."

"That person with the God Bone... to my Heavenly Court, he is an enemy, not a friend."

After the Heavenly Court Elder finished speaking, Shi Ruo's expression changed drastically.

"Elder, that person with the God Bone has saved many people with God Bones in our Ancient Tang Empire!" Shi Ruo could not help but say.

Beside him, Wei Feng hurriedly said: "If the Elder says he is an enemy, then he is an enemy!"

"The secrets within are not for outsiders to know."

After the Heavenly Court Elder finished speaking, he instantly lunged toward Lin Chao to seize the Wa Girl inheritance.

Seeing this scene, Wang Lu's expression changed slightly: "Why are they attacking Lin Gui?"

Guo Mei hurriedly covered Wang Lu's hand: "My good sister, that is an Elder of the Heavenly Court!"

A Heavenly Court Elder holds a noble status, and in the Ancient Tang Empire, his status is equivalent to the gods of the Xi Fang Shi Jie.

Being able to see a Heavenly Court Elder is, for many, a glory of a lifetime.

Wang Lu's heart grew cold, and she felt a complex mix of emotions.

The Heavenly Court Elder was actually attacking Junior Lin Gui.

Junior Lin Gui is in danger.

On the other side, the Heavenly Court Elder walked forward, intending to finish off Lin Chao.

However, two women appeared and blocked the front of the Heavenly Court Elder.

The two women were none other than Twenty-one and Twenty-two.

"As expected, evil spirits, and with the help of an Evil God."

After the Heavenly Court Elder finished speaking, he took a step forward, his body radiating an incomparable aura.

A blue flame ignited from the Heavenly Court Elder's body, and the space itself seemed to tremble.

"It's actually Elder Blue Fire!"

Seeing this, Wei Feng's expression was excited.

Elder Blue Fire is no ordinary Elder.

Within the Heavenly Court, there are a total of nine Supreme Elders.

Elder Blue Fire has the potential to become the tenth Supreme Elder!

His strength, it is rumored, has reached the peak of Medium Divine Power, only a step away from Strong Divine Power.

A complex look flashed in Shi Ruo's eyes.

"It's actually him!"

He did not like Elder Blue Fire.

Because, regarding the gods of the West, Elder Blue Fire advocated for peace.

In other words, Elder Blue Fire belonged to the peace faction.

Shi Ruo's parents died at the hands of the High Priest of the Light Temple.

Naturally, Shi Ruo did not look kindly upon the peace faction within the Heavenly Court.

Peace meant acknowledging the Master of Light as lord, and Shi Ruo would rather die than do that.

"With Elder Blue Fire here, no matter how heaven-defying the methods of that person with the God Bone are, he can only be executed!" Wei Feng was very excited.

Elder Blue Fire's strength definitely ranks in the top twelve within the Heavenly Court.

With such a powerhouse appearing, how could that person with the God Bone resist?

"Two servants actually think they can block Elder Blue Fire; the Elder can suppress them with a flip of his hand!" Wei Feng said excitedly.

However, the scene before him truly shocked his eyes.

He saw the woman named Twenty-two standing alone in front of Blue Fire.

"This path is blocked; violators... die."

Elder Blue Fire ignored her entirely, waving his large hand, intending to wipe out Twenty-two.

That casual strike did nothing to Twenty-two at all.

Divine Power surged on Twenty-two's arm, instantly trapping Elder Blue Fire.

"A deity?"

Blue Fire was astonished.

The opponent was not only a deity, but not an ordinary deity at that.

The moment the strike was launched, Blue Fire caught a trace of aura.

The opponent was a deity capable of threatening him!

This surprised him.

"Who exactly are you!"

A deity with this level of strength was certainly no nameless person.

However, Blue Fire could not recognize who the opponent was at all.

Twenty-two ignored Blue Fire entirely and attacked again.

She was like a work of art, and as she struck, she radiated an artistic aura.

Divine light swirled.

Divine Power permeated the air.

Elder Blue Fire resisted continuously, his heart filled with fury.

"How bold!"

At first, having descended upon Mu Suyi, he had not used his full strength; after all, Mu Suyi's body could not withstand it.

Now that the God Bone possessor was about to obtain the Wa Maiden inheritance, he no longer hesitated.

Destroying a heaven-gifted talent was nothing.

The aura on his body permeated the air, actually increasing by another fifty or sixty percent.

However, blood spilled from his five orifices—his eyes, nostrils, and the corners of his mouth.

This body of Mu Suyi would have to be discarded.

"Die!"

With his excellent descendant having no future, Elder Blue Fire was naturally incomparably furious.

He poured all his rage onto Twenty-two.

The battle escalated at that moment.

In his full state, Elder Blue Fire was only one step away from Strong Divine Power.

Upon the instant collision, a crack appeared on Twenty-two's body, and blood flowed out.

Wei Feng looked excited: "With the Elder making a move, that person will surely die."

Unfortunately, Twenty-two was only a High-level Puppet and had not yet been perfected by Lin Chao, so she could not display a grave expression on her face.

Exchanging blows with Elder Blue Fire, she instantly fell into a disadvantage.

"Sister, I come to assist you!"

Twenty-one entered the fray, also displaying the strength of Medium Divine Power, though she was still much weaker than Twenty-two.

However, with Twenty-one's coordination, Twenty-two was not as disadvantaged.

"Who exactly are you people!" Elder Blue Fire was anxious, especially since the pillar of light not far away was getting smaller and smaller; he feared that person would soon obtain the complete Wa Maiden inheritance.

He did not know much about their identities.

"Defeat us, and you will know." Although Twenty-one was at a disadvantage, she spoke much more than Twenty-two.

The two entangled Elder Blue Fire; although they were at a disadvantage and suffered significant injuries with every attack,

they were still enough to hold Elder Blue Fire back for a time.

In the distance, Wei Feng saw this scene, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Wang Lu, and many thoughts appeared in his mind.

"Kill."

Catching Shi Ruo off guard, he instantly attacked Wang Lu.

Beside him, Shi Ruo asked hurriedly: "Wei Feng, what is this?"

"That woman clearly knows the God Bone possessor; I will take her down!"

"But..."

"Shi Ruo, what is the point of being so indecisive? If you won't do it, I will?

Do you intend to betray the Heavenly Court?"

Hearing this, Shi Ruo stopped his movements.

Wei Feng was right.

Although he did not like Elder Blue Fire,

at this moment, Elder Blue Fire represented the Heavenly Court, and he could not defy the Heavenly Court.

Seeing this, Wang Lu's expression changed drastically, and Guo Mei also revealed a look of fear.

"Die!"

Wei Feng was only one step away from Legendary, and among God Bone possessors, he was also an absolute powerhouse.

Wang Lu's four High-level Puppets immediately stepped forward, yet in Wei Feng's hands, they were as fragile as paper.

"Four High-level Professionals are nothing in my eyes.

Four puppets? Suppressed with a flip of my hand!"

His attack was sharp, containing the Rule unique to his God Bone possessor status: armor-piercing.

Every one of the four puppets struck by his fist had a large hole appear in its divine body.

His attacks were extremely overbearing.

The four High-Grade Puppets suffered heavy damage, and even their movements became stiff.

Even if the four joined forces, I fear they would all be Slayed by Wei Feng within fifty breaths.

Wei Feng struck, scrapping one puppet with a single punch; he looked at Wang Lu and smiled: "Little girl, don't study Puppet Making Technique in the future, there's no future in it."

While speaking, within ten breaths, the remaining three puppets were all scrapped.

Seeing this, Wang Lu's breathing became hurried: "As a person of the Heavenly Court, how can you lay a hand on a Tang citizen?"

Wei Feng's mouth curled into a smile: "You betrayed the Ancient Tang and colluded with evil monsters; that is a great crime."

As Wei Feng spoke, he strode toward Wang Lu.

Wang Lu and Guo Mei felt somewhat desperate.

Even the four High-Grade Puppets were destroyed; how could they still resist?

Beside Wang Lu, only that Mid-level Life Puppet remained.

Seeing Wei Feng attack, that Mid-level Puppet also walked toward Wei Feng to fulfill its duty.

"Quite loyal, but unfortunately... it's not even as good as those four."

A Mid-level Puppet could be destroyed even more easily with a casual wave.

"What should we do?" Guo Mei grabbed Wang Lu, wanting to flee.

However, Wei Feng's aura suppressed the two of them, and they could not escape at all.

"Die."

A look of disdain appeared in Wei Feng's eyes, and he instantly struck at that Mid-level Puppet.

With one blow, the puppet should have been smashed to pieces.

However, the expected situation did not occur.

He struck the puppet with one blow, but this puppet did not fall apart.

Shi Ruo saw this scene and revealed a thoughtful expression.

Before entering the Ancient God Temple, he had already discovered that this puppet did not seem so simple.

This scene also left Wang Lu and Guo Mei shocked.

This puppet seemed extraordinary.

"Hmm?" Wei Feng was puzzled and struck again.

But this time, his attack did not land on the puppet.

Only to see that puppet's figure undergo a violent change at that moment; its frame became burly, and its face became ferocious.

It stood there, looking like a demon general.

It reached out, grabbed Wei Feng's hand directly, then threw a punch and swung!
