it could actually interfere with Chu He’s Primordial Spirit Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This prevented him from using his power to get a clear grasp of the situation across all of Cyan Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Chu He had assumed Cyan Mountain’s current strange and desolate state was caused by something left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed it was the remnants of some ineradicable Mysterious Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a Mysterious Power was no longer a significant threat, nor would it coalesce into an Evil Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if an ordinary person were to stay on Cyan Mountain for years, it wouldn’t cause much harm to their body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he never expected that the root of Cyan Mountain’s greatest problem lay within the Cyan Mountain Cemetery itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was at the foot of the mountain, Chu He had been completely unaware of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, something in the Cyan Mountain Cemetery was capable of shielding against his Primordial Spirit Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the Cyan Mountain Cemetery, Chu He’s Primordial Spirit Power allowed him to perceive his immediate surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered something extremely interesting: there seemed to be something amiss with the yellow soil here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very thing affecting his Primordial Spirit Power was this yellow soil, which looked ordinary and almost indistinguishable from the earth one might see anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Chu He’s assault was relentless and showed no sign of letting up, the middle-aged man’s patience finally reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed his hands in an ancient and mysterious gesture, knuckles pressed tightly together, as if in silent prayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he slowly pressed his palms downward, the yellow soil beneath his feet began to squirm and swell at an alarming rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not merely the movement of soil; it was more like the breathing of an enraged Mother Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every speck of dust contained a power that could not be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power converged into a surging tide of yellow sand, becoming an extension of the middle-aged man’s will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an almost tyrannical fury, it swept toward Chu He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was like the coming of the apocalypse, as the yellow sand blotted out the sky, carrying with it an irresistible aura of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that critical moment, Yumizakura, who had been silent all this time, finally revealed her transcendent side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless specks of firefly-like light began to gather around her, shining like the most brilliant stars in the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also resembled phosphorescent lights drifting in the deep sea, making her already stunning figure appear even more otherworldly, like a goddess descending upon the Mortal World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her steps were light and graceful, each one seemingly landing on a node of time itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not just a feast for the eyes; her movements also contained an indescribable Magic Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firefly-like lights flowed with her movements, weaving together into a series of flowing scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They painted the surroundings in a dreamlike hue, so beautiful that it overshadowed even the daylight, making it seem dim and dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment of supreme splendor, the yellow soil erupting from the ground was like a great beast opening its maw, swallowing Yumizakura’s carefully orchestrated banquet of light in a single gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow sand and the firefly lights clashed violently in mid-air, only to merge with desperate speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ultimately fell silent, forming an inconspicuous little mound that lay quietly on the earth-eroded ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene made Yumizakura’s expression turn grave in an instant, a flash of disbelief in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never imagined that her power could be so easily suppressed by this seemingly ordinary yellow soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow soil seemed to contain some kind of power beyond imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just a pile of matter; it was the embodiment of natural law, an irresistible will of heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the dull sound of yellow soil and sand churning together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the surging of the yellow soil transcended the laws of nature, becoming both mystical and unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s figure blurred, and the distance of over ten meters vanished beneath his feet in an instant, his speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even someone with Yumizakura’s level of Cultivation could only instinctively sense a faint ripple in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the man’s oppressive, mountain-like figure was already standing right in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s face was cold, his eyes devoid of any hesitation or pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only a thirst for victory and absolute confidence in his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his right arm, and in the instant it neared Yumizakura, it seemed to be completely devoured by yellow soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It transformed into an arm formed from countless tiny grains of sand, each one glittering with a faint yellow light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This punch wasn’t just a clash of flesh and bone; it was a direct confrontation of the laws of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s fist, like the roar of an earth god, carried an alarming suppressive force that instantly enveloped Yumizakura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yumizakura felt an irresistible power surge into her from her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invisible shackles bound the very source of her power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spiritual Power circulating within her body became like a still lake, unable to stir even the slightest ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the yellow soil on the ground, as if sensing the man’s will, surged madly like awakening beasts, scrambling to climb up and gradually submerge Yumizakura’s legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow soil was no longer simple earth; it had become viscous and powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to want to return this part of the world to chaos, to imprison Yumizakura forever beneath the boundless yellow sand and make her its eternal sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding air grew abnormally heavy, as if time itself had frozen in that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yumizakura’s anger finally erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I just wanted to show off for Chu He, but I ended up making a fool of myself instead.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands, once as gentle as jade, now transformed into incomparably sharp claws, gleaming with an eerie blue fluorescence, like the coldest stars in the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body shot forward like a hunting cheetah, striking swiftly for the middle-aged man’s vitals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, a flicker of surprise crossed the middle-aged man’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that any delay would only worsen the situation, so he unhesitatingly swung his arm of condensed earth again, preparing to crush Yumizakura’s attack with thunderous force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the seemingly indestructible arm of yellow soil collided with Yumizakura’s fluorescent claws, something unexpected happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of this favored child of the earth proved to be incredibly fragile against Yumizakura’s claws. It was torn to shreds in an instant, as if made of paper-mâché, dissolving into a sky full of yellow sand that scattered in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s arm trembled slightly, but he immediately stabilized himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His severed earthen arm seemed to possess a self-healing ability; it squirmed and fused back together rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, it was as good as new, and even thicker and more powerful than before, radiating a might that could not be ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yumizakura’s strike was fierce, it came at a heavy price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt the power within her, already suppressed, being dealt another blow. It was now tightly bound by invisible Chains, completely unable to circulate freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man seized this rare opportunity, mercilessly throwing a punch that contained all his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch tore through the air with a sound that seemed capable of ripping space itself as it shot toward Yumizakura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Yumizakura struggled to resist, she was ultimately unable to withstand this immense power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt an overwhelming force surge into her body, and she was sent flying like a broken kite, tracing a long arc through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally crashed heavily onto the ground in the distance, kicking up a cloud of dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this what you’re trying to protect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Chu He’s voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man stiffened, instinctively looking behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that all the burial mounds had been brutally forced open by Chu He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray-brown vines wreathed in black mist snaked out from within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, bound to the thickest of these gray-brown vines, was a young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked to be in her twenties, but she seemed to be trapped in an eternal slumber.\u003C\u002Fp>",1422,"2026-06-06T16:46:32.086Z",1,"novelbin.me","a8de8341034c88a8f778658ef2f64d955829d1b0caa9efe5c27001b2659ae86d","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-186","national-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-chapter-185",274,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnational-guardian-s-gone-and-we-re-done-cover.jpg"]
