Chapter 72: Exposed

Crack!

After an unknown duration, the seal within Luo Yao finally shattered with a sound like breaking glass, and then a surging tide of Spirit Power flooded through every meridian in Luo Yao's body.

It constantly washed away the stone armor covering the inner walls of the meridians.

No matter how hard the stone armor was, it ultimately could not withstand the terrifying flood of Spirit Power, and finally dissolved into fragments of Spirit Power, vanishing without a trace.

As the seal unsealed, the Spirit Power within Luo Yao and the torrent of Spirit Power converged, causing Luo Yao's meridians to instantly swell.

In an instant, the veins on Luo Yao's forehead bulged, and she even clenched her teeth; she knew this was an opportunity.

This torrent of Spirit Power, having been sorted out over such a long time, could already be guided by her, so she immediately controlled this Spirit Power to scour her dantian.

In this way, when the time came, Luo Yao's claim that she had buried Gongsun Ming would make no sense.

But her master was already dead, and there was no possibility of any other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator helping.

Although Zhao Yang had only given a rough location, the Second Elder's Divine Sense at the Foundation Establishment Stage found it easily.

And the fact that Xu Zhanglao was willing to act clearly meant that Yan Jie had exerted great effort.

Fang Qingyan hurriedly explained her master's analysis, and Luo Yao nodded, saying, "I am very clear myself; this place can no longer be stayed in."

Speaking, she sighed, "I might go to the Immortal Cultivation World of Pingzhou; the previous agreement probably cannot be realized."

But the next second, she received a voice transmission.

Suddenly, she seemed to hear a commotion coming, and could not help but walk out of her Cave Abode.

The Second Elder was furious, and Zhao Yang, standing nearby, immediately shivered with a cold tremor, shaking uncontrollably.

Cultivators cultivate against heaven, precisely needing to break their own limits, and Luo Yao's several near-death battles had unleashed her potential.

She wanted to escape the Xuanyuan Sect, but still needed to break the array set up at the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet with her strength, it was simply impossible.

Luo Yao began rummaging through her Storage Bag again; the method to break an array set by a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator was not nonexistent, but the key was how to accomplish it without alerting the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

Afterwards, upon arriving at the Xuanyuan Sect, the Second Elder threw Zhao Yang to the ground, and the person instantly vanished from the spot, obviously going to find the Sect Master.

Unfortunately, the opportunity of her Golden Finger had already been used up.

Boom boom boom!

After another period of time, an aura suddenly appeared on Luo Yao and spread outward; if anyone had been present, they would have discovered that Luo Yao had broken through again.

Luo Yao was also overjoyed; it really was Fang Qingyan.

"Yan Jie?"

Then, two people wearing black robes appeared outside the array.

"Let's speak elsewhere." Xu Zhanglao walked over, led the two to a safe place, then turned to leave, tossing out these words, "You only have the time of one stick of incense to say goodbye."

Thus, he stood outside the array and began to curse loudly at Luo Yao inside.

Luo Yao sighed in her heart but was very clear that the Immortal Cultivation World was fraught with dangers; after she left, she did not know when she would see Fang Qingyan again; perhaps she might die halfway, or perhaps...

Immediately, she saw the tall one take out a piece of Talisman Paper and strike it into the array; soon, a Passage appeared in the array, a Passage allowing people to enter and exit.

However, when they found Gongsun Ming's corpse, the Elder's face was black as a pot bottom.

Luo Yao was somewhat surprised in her heart but quickly guessed that the other person must be Fang Qingyan's master, Xu Zhanglao.

After all, once Yan Jie was discovered, she would also be treated as a defector.

Luo Yao knew her good intentions but did not accept everything, taking only some Pills she did not have on hand, and also handed the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk to Fang Qingyan.

Luo Yao quickly discovered that the Enforcement Team members guarding outside the array suddenly fell to the ground.

But he cursed until his mouth was dry and his tongue parched, yet Luo Yao still did not appear, and Zhao Yang began to get anxious.

When Zhao Yang approached Luo Yao's Cave Abode, he felt it was too quiet and immediately had a bad feeling.

Zhao Yang, being dragged by the Second Elder, quickly arrived near where he had found Gongsun Ming's corpse.

Although she had guessed that Fang Qingyan would try to save her, she did not expect her to actually appear, and her heart was deeply moved.

"Xiao Yao, rest assured; no matter where you go, I will find you."

However, what Zhao Yang did not expect was that wild beasts actually ran over to gnaw on Gongsun Ming's corpse; by the time the two arrived, Gongsun Ming's corpse had been gnawed beyond recognition.

Moreover, Fang Qingyan instead took out her own Storage Bag and handed it to Luo Yao, saying, "With my master's care, I lack neither Spirit Stones nor resources; you need them more than I do."

Once the Demon Heart is overcome, the path to breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage thereafter is smooth sailing, with no major bottlenecks.

Enraged, the Second Elder slapped those few wild beasts to death.

Because after Zhao Yang dug up Gongsun Ming's corpse, he did not bury it back but instead changed the location and carelessly discarded it on the ground.

He cursed very harshly, but Zhao Yang's purpose was to force Luo Yao out to confirm whether she was inside.

The night was silent, and the insects were noisy.

At that time, they had agreed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage together, and then travel the Immortal Cultivation World together, but now, Luo Yao had to flee this place.

Therefore, they would definitely suspect that Luo Yao possessed some powerful Dharma Treasure, and at that time, they might even become jealous and try to seize it.

Although she had broken through to the eighth layer of Qi Refining, Luo Yao did not show any sign of joy; the crisis of life and death had not yet been resolved.

If they had arrived a little later, Gongsun Ming's corpse probably would not have been found.

Soon, he saw the Enforcement Team members guarding the array lying on the ground.

Furthermore, it was that Luo Yao had overcome the Demon Heart.

Although the surroundings were shrouded in night, pitch black and unclear, cultivators were not ordinary people.

"Not good!"

But in reality, the reason Luo Yao broke through so quickly was first because she had experienced many life-and-death battles.

"No, I cannot accept it." Fang Qingyan shook her head, saying, "After you leave the Xuanyuan Sect, you need these things more than I do."

His face instantly changed, and his first thought in his heart was that Luo Yao had run away.

Unless another Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator helped.

So, he hurried toward Luo Yao's Cave Abode.

Luo Yao was astonished; who were they?

Why had they come to save her?

If others knew Luo Yao had broken through so quickly, they would absolutely be filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred; after all, to go from Qi Refining Early Stage to Qi Refining Middle Stage in just a few short months was impossible unless one took Pills every single day.

Wait, one of them is Yan Jie, so who is the other...

"If I find out who did this, I will definitely flay them and pull out their tendons."

As long as Spirit Power is sufficient and the soul strength is reached, even if one's talent is the worst, one can still break through.

One can only rely on oneself.

Not knowing what methods the Second Elder had used, after confirming that the gruesome corpse was Gongsun Ming, he dragged Zhao Yang back to Xuanyuan Sect in a furious rage.

Qi Refining Eighth Layer.

The story splits into two threads.

However, he quickly calmed down; the Second Elder is in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the Array he set up—how could Luo Yao possibly escape?

"Little Yao, it's me; hurry and leave this place with us."

Although deep down he knew Luo Yao was doomed by tomorrow, he still felt uneasy, or rather, he wanted to mock her one last time before she died.

And when Zhao Yang returned to the sect, he also found that it was very late.

Thinking of this, she took out a bottle of Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, handed it to Fang Qingyan, and told her of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk's preciousness.

"Damn it, could that bitch have really run away!"

Thinking of this, disregarding whether he would be scolded, he immediately used Spirit Power to shout, "Luo Yao has run away, come quickly!"
