Chapter 4543

The will phantom's voice fell.

The atmosphere abruptly turned cold.

Everyone present froze, not expecting the situation to actually have another twist.

Originally they all felt that, after Jiang Yunran obtained the quasi-immortal artifact, the Ancient Sky-Suppressing Halberd.

Coupled with Jun Xiaoyao's strength.

Their group could almost sweep through this forbidden zone horizontally.

No one else could threaten them.

But who would have thought that the will phantom would actually only be willing to protect Jiang Yunran alone.

On the other side, Meng Changqing, whose complexion was originally slightly gloomy.

The corner of his mouth suddenly revealed a trace of a playful smile.

"Interesting..."

Perhaps, he still had a chance?

Here, Jiang Yunran heard these words.

The smile on her beautiful face slowly dissipated.

"What did you say?" Jiang Yunran asked back.

The will phantom said: "This ancient land concerns matters of great importance."

"The inheritance of the most core area can only be obtained by a destined person."

"Unrelated idle people naturally have no qualifications to enter."

"Even less qualifications to covet the inheritance."

Obviously, in the will phantom's eyes.

Apart from Jiang Yunran, everyone else was idle people.

Jiang Yunran's eyes turned cold.

"Xiaoyao clan-brother is not some unrelated person."

The will phantom still said indifferently.

"I only agreed to assist you alone."

As one sentence fell, everyone present's gazes all looked toward Jiang Yunran.

Now, even the dullest person reacted.

"It seems the Ninth Princess of the Heavenly Edict Immortal Dynasty might have some karma with this place?"

"Right, otherwise that will phantom wouldn't say such words."

"But this just got interesting."

"Is this trying to make Princess Jiang choose between two options?"

"Choose to obtain the quasi-immortal artifact, while also obtaining the near-god will's protection, and gain the core inheritance within."

"Or choose to give up?"

"Give up, how is that possible?"

Many people were discussing.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the will phantom was making Jiang Yunran choose.

Choose to go alone with him, and she could obtain protection, passing through all barriers in one go.

If the other people present were to choose.

They would absolutely choose to follow the will phantom without the slightest hesitation.

However, just as everyone was guessing.

Almost without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Yunran said indifferently.

"Then forget it, this little woman has no fortune to enjoy such a divine weapon."

Everyone around hearing these words, in an instant were all somewhat stunned dumbfounded.

Even that will phantom's figure also rippled with waves.

Obviously Jiang Yunran's such straightforward refusal also exceeded his expectations.

"Princess Jiang actually directly refused?"

"Sigh... still too young..."

"Exactly, even if she stalled a bit it would be fine, get the inheritance first then talk."

Everyone present felt that Jiang Yunran's such refusal was too impulsive.

Not only would she fail to get the Ancient Sky-Suppressing Halberd, she might even offend that will phantom.

Even being a bit more flexible and tactful would be better.

However, Jiang Yunran's expression didn't change, without the slightest ripple.

In her heart, Jun Xiaoyao's position was unique.

A mere weapon, yet dared to delusionally try to separate her from her Xiaoyao clan-brother?

Even if it's a quasi-immortal artifact, so what? Even a near-god will, so what?

She still discarded it like worn-out shoes.

As for that inheritance, she was confident that even without relying on the near-god will, she could still get it in hand.

"Yunran, you..."

Jun Xiaoyao was slightly at a loss for words.

Actually, he didn't care all that much; if Jiang Yunran could conveniently obtain an opportunity, taking a different path from them was fine too.

However...

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze also sized up that will projection.

He knew that will projection definitely had some connection to the Loulan Empress.

It was a powerhouse of the Loulan lineage.

But judging by the current situation.

That will projection, during its lifetime, was likely an admirer of that Loulan Empress.

"You would refuse my help for the sake of this child?"

Seeing Jiang Yunran's attitude like this.

That will projection felt increasingly displeased.

After all, in his previous life, he was a near-god powerhouse of the Loulan lineage, one of its pillars.

Apart from the Loulan Empress whom he looked up to, everyone else in his eyes was merely an ant.

Yet now, this woman connected to the Loulan Empress.

Actually refused his goodwill for the sake of a junior brat.

Jiang Yunran fell silent, not uttering a word.

She didn't want to provoke that will projection too much, lest it bring trouble for Jun Xiaoyao.

But she also absolutely would not go obtain the opportunity alone.

However at this moment, a cold laugh suddenly rang out.

"So what if I refuse you?"

"Hm?"

The will projection's gaze abruptly looked toward Jun Xiaoyao beside Jiang Yunran.

A trace of coldness also flashed through Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, and then he spoke.

"Senior, you are merely a lingering will imprint."

"The era belonging to you has long since passed; I think you'd better honestly serve as an artifact spirit."

As these words fell.

Everyone present seemed to have forgotten to breathe, petrified.

They never in their wildest dreams expected Jun Xiaoyao would actually dare to be so dismissive toward this near-god will!

Anyone with eyes could tell this Sky-Suppressing Ancient Halberd and will projection were the golden thigh of this place.

If one could cling to it, that would simply be called cheating.

And even if one couldn't obtain it, no one was willing to offend it.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao spoke just like that, without the slightest scruple.

"Brother Xiaoyao of the clan..."

Beside her, Jiang Yunran's beautiful eyes shimmered, brilliant radiance flickering within.

She knew Jun Xiaoyao was backing her up, standing up for her, not letting her suffer the slightest grievance.

Boom!

In the void, the Sky-Suppressing Ancient Halberd erupted with vast billows.

That pressure seemed to make the void within a hundred thousand li tremble.

The halberd blade was snow-bright, the sharp radiance it reflected seemingly able to cleave a person's soul!

That will projection's gaze looked toward Jun Xiaoyao.

An invisible soul force surged forth, carrying pressure like collapsing mountains and overturning seas.

This will projection, though merely a lingering imprint, was still a near-god level existence.

The soul force fluctuations it released were enough to easily crush the Primordial Spirit of an Emperor-realm powerhouse.

However, within Jun Xiaoyao's sea of consciousness, his three-lifetime Primordial Spirit was grand and upright, towering unmoving.

"What are you doing!?"

Sensing the will projection unleashing soul pressure on Jun Xiaoyao.

Jiang Yunran stood beside Jun Xiaoyao, her beautiful eyes coldly staring straight at the will projection.

Between her snow-white brows, faint patterns flickered, releasing an indescribably profound and mysterious aura.

Sensing this aura, that will projection's figure shook.

That pressure also dissipated.

The will projection gave Jiang Yunran a deep look.

Then looked at Jun Xiaoyao once more.

As a former near-god level figure, even as a mere will imprint, he would not tolerate being lightly insulted.

Jun Xiaoyao could be considered to have thoroughly offended him.

Thinking of this, the will projection's eyes shifted once again.

Landing on another person.

It was precisely Meng Changqing of the Qingtian Meng Clan.

The will projection's soul force was profound, scanning all directions.

It had long since sensed earlier that this person seemed to be at odds with Jun Xiaoyao's side.

Plus Meng Changqing was already an extremely outstanding figure in terms of cultivation among those present.

So that will projection suddenly looked at Meng Changqing and spoke.

"You..."

"In this place, you are the strongest."

"You are indeed qualified to wield the Zhen Tian Ancient Halberd."

The words fell.

Meng Changqing's expression trembled, and his eyes could not conceal the joy within.

A sudden turn of events!

Who could have imagined that in the end, he would be the one to seize the opportunity!

Meng Changqing took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and bowed with clasped fists toward the illusory will.

"To receive the senior's favor is my honor as a junior."

"I, as a junior, will not disgrace the senior's innate divine weapon!"

Seeing this, all the cultivators present were stunned.

Who could have imagined such a change would occur?

Jiang Yunran's face showed a cold expression.

Meng Changqing, the strongest in this place?

Is this illusory will truly blind?
