Yang Kai stared into the void in front of him. The jade slip that Ti Zheng had given him was here, and Old Bai had also confirmed that the Proprietress had disappeared here. This meant that the entrance to Shadowless Cave Heaven was here. As long as he could find the entrance, he could enter Shadowless Cave Heaven and rescue the Proprietress.
But it was easier said than done. The first difficulty was finding the entrance!
Shadowless Cave Heaven had been hidden here for countless years and had yet to be discovered, which meant that this entrance was extremely well hidden. After all, there were many Open Heaven Stage cultivators coming and going in this shattered Cave Heaven. If it was easy to find, Shadowless Cave Heaven would have long been exposed.
But in reality, this Universe Cave Heaven had always been a mystery.
Only the mastermind would know how to open the entrance and lure the Proprietress here to trap her.
The void was quiet, but anyone could feel the hidden murderous intent.
Zhu Jiu Yin’s expression became solemn as she said, “Boy, I feel that something is wrong.” As soon as she arrived here, she felt as if countless eyes were staring at her. As her Divine Sense swept over her surroundings, she could clearly sense that there were many living beings hiding in the surrounding Shattered Spirit Province.
Yang Kai whispered, “Senior will be my protector!”
Zhu Jiu Yin turned to look at him, only to see that he had already closed his eyes and the Space Laws gently circulated around him, obviously searching for the entrance to Shadowless Cave Heaven.
“You’ve harmed a lot of people like this!” Zhu Jiu coldly snorted, not daring to show the slightest bit of carelessness as she paid close attention to the surroundings. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that if she saw that the situation wasn’t good, she would immediately capture Yang Kai and fight with him in a trap set up by someone else. There is no need to be passive, and she wasn’t stupid, so how could she do such a stupid thing? This time, she only needed to protect Yang Kai. As for the lives of the others, it had nothing to do with her.
The Space Laws fluctuated wildly as Yang Kai’s Divine Sense fluctuated.
Universe Cave Heaven could be considered an independent small world that could accommodate this Shattered Heaven. If there really was an entrance, there would definitely be some kind of Space Law fluctuation between them.
When the Blood Monster Cave Heaven had first opened, Yang Kai had used his Space Laws to perceive some things in advance, allowing him to snatch so many entrances.
Similarly, the entrance to Shadowless Cave Heaven was the same.
Although Yang Kai’s cultivation was only at the Half Open Heaven and his cultivation was the lowest among the group, in this matter, even Zhu Ji Yin couldn’t compare to him. Although Zhu Ji Yin was powerful, she had no attainments in the Space Laws. The entrance to the Shadowless Cave Heaven was extremely well hidden, so even if she couldn’t sense it, Yang Kai could.
As long as they could find the entrance, they would be able to enter it.
Immersing his mind, Yang Kai carefully felt every inch of space around him and observed the minute differences in his surroundings, his entire being suddenly becoming ethereal.
“Get out here!” Zhu Jiu Yin suddenly shouted, turning her head towards a Shattered Spirit Province and waving her hand.
Silently, the Shattered Spirit Province within a hundred kilometers radius exploded, sending rocks flying everywhere as several figures appeared, each of them wearing a bewildered expression.
However, before Zhu Jiu Yin could attack them again, a loud laugh rang out, “Senior Sister Zhu’s temper is quite big, it’s not good for a woman to have a big temper, it’s easy to become old!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure covered in Demonic Qi appeared on another Spirit Province. It was none other than Ti Zheng, who had appeared in the Shattered Heaven.
He wasn’t alone, but there were two others who had appeared together with him, their bodies shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see their appearances.
However, the two of them exuded an extremely clear aura of High Rank Open Heaven.
Shua Shua Shua…
In the surrounding Spirit Province, figures appeared one after another. Yue He and the others looked around, all of them secretly shocked because in the depths of Shattered Heaven, in this small void, more than twenty Open Heaven Stage masters had gathered. Aside from the three High Rank Open Heaven masters including Ti Zheng, the rest were all Mid Rank Open Heaven masters, and even the weakest of them was a Fourth Order!
Such a lineup could only be described as terrifying. In the entire 3000 Worlds, only a Cave Heaven Paradise was capable of such a feat.
According to the current situation, Qu Huachang’s previous guess was correct. This time, there were indeed three High Rank Open Heaven masters working together in Shadowless Cave Heaven. If not for this, they wouldn’t have been able to deal with Zhu Jiu Yin. As long as these three masters could restrain Zhu Jiu Yin, Yue He and the others wouldn’t have been able to resist.
The difference in numbers was simply too great.
“In terms of age, this old lady can be your grandmother, so what if she has a bad temper?” Zhu Jiu coldly snorted, showing no mercy.
Ti Zheng smiled slightly, “I hope Senior Sister Zhu’s skills are as good as her temper.”
A person beside Ti Zheng suddenly spoke up, “Little girl Qu, what are you doing here? Don’t forget your identity.” The person who spoke obviously recognized Qu Huachang.
Qu Huachang pursed her lips and said, “Junior Brother Yang has saved this Disciple’s life. Now that Junior Brother is in trouble, this Disciple cannot just sit back and watch. This Disciple will only act in personal name and has nothing to do with the Sect. After this matter, this Disciple will return to the Sect and ask for forgiveness!”
“The swords have no eyes, are you sure you can leave here alive?” The man asked again.
Qu Huachang smiled lightly, “If i die, that's the end.”
The man nodded and said, “Since you have such an understanding, this King won’t say anything else. You’re on your own.”
“Many thanks for Senior’s reminder!” Qu Huachang bowed respectfully.
Zhu Jiu Yin said impatiently, “What’s the point of talking so much nonsense? You want Yang Boy to come here, he’s already here. If you want to kill him, hurry up and do it. Let’s see if you have the ability to do so.”
Ti Zheng grinned, “Since Senior Sister Zhu is so impatient, we’ll do as Senior Sister wishes.”
As soon as the last word left his mouth, Ti Zheng’s entire body transformed into a ball of Demonic Qi, carrying with it a terrifying World Force as he charged towards Zhu Jiu Yin.
At the same time, the other two High Rank masters who had been standing beside him, also took action. One of them held a long sword while the other flicked his fingers and shot out streams of light.
In an instant, the aura of a High Rank Open Heaven filled the air, causing the void to tremble violently.
When the three High Rank Open Heaven masters attacked, the surrounding Mid Rank Open Heaven masters didn’t remain idle either. Instead, their figures flickered as they formed a formation, each of them throwing out a number of Array Flags into the void as they chanted something mysterious.
The commotion caused by the High Rank Open Heaven was extremely terrifying, and even a Mid Rank Open Heaven would find it difficult to intervene. The dozens of Mid Rank Open Heaven cultivators didn’t seem to want to fight Zhu Jiu Yin head-on, but instead formed a formation to restrain her.
This was undoubtedly a wise decision. Not only could they avoid any possible casualties, but they could also weaken Zhu Jiu Yin’s strength.
Before the Great Array was completed, Zhu Jiu Yin already felt a sense of oppression and immediately understood that this strange array was most likely a Formation targeted to Holy Spirits!
With a low shout, she shouted, “All of you guard this Yang brat well.” As she faced the three High Rank Open Heaven, their battle was earth-shattering.
Yue He and the others formed a triangle and used their own strength to resist the terrifying shockwaves, firmly protecting Yang Kai in the middle. Yang Kai’s cultivation was only at the Half Step Open Heaven, so if he were to be hit by the shockwaves of Zhu Jiu Yin and Ti Zheng’s confrontation, he would likely explode and die. Yue He and the others naturally didn’t dare to be careless.
Last time, when the Hundred Force Alliance invaded the Void Land, Zhu Jiu Yin fought one against two, evenly matched with two High Rank Open Heaven masters, but now that she was fighting one against three, she was at a disadvantage. Facing the violent attacks of Ti Zheng and the others, she could only defend and had no way to counterattack.
What’s more, the situation last time was different from this time. Last time, Zhu Jiu Yin did not have any constraints and only needed to focus on dealing with two enemies. This time, however, she needed to protect Yang Kai, no matter what she did, she was extremely passive.
A moment later, with a rumbling sound, the Formation for Holy Spirit was formed and a complex array pattern lit up in the air. At the center of the array was Zhu Jiu Yin, Yang Kai and the others.
Zhu Jiu Yin’s movements suddenly became sluggish, and under the bombardment of Ti Zheng and the others, she seemed to be in a precarious situation. In just a moment, many wounds appeared on her body.
“What kind of bullshit Formation is this?” Zhu Jiu Yin grit her teeth and shouted angrily.
Ti Zheng took his time attacking while replying, “The Heavenly Astral Locking Spirit Formation is a Formation specifically designed to deal with the Holy Spirit. Senior Sister Zhu’s strength is extraordinary, so this Great Array shouldn’t have much of an effect on you, but in a life or death battle, some of its effects will be fatal.”
“Despicable!” Zhu Jiu Yin cursed.
From the looks of it, Heavenly Sword Union’s Shen Liang, Jiang Yunshan, and the others’ interception was indeed an attempt to probe the situation. That battle had drawn Zhu Jiu Yin out, and the other party had set up a Heavenly Astral Locking Spirit Formation here to deliberately target her.
Ti Zheng smiled and said, “Senior Sister is at the prime of her life, why would you risk your life for a mere Emperor Realm? Why don’t you just follow me?”
“Submit to you?
“That’s right,” Ti Zheng smiled lightly, “I’m currently lacking a mount, Senior Sister’s Holy Spirit Body will not disgrace my status. As long as Senior Sister obeys me, I will definitely treat Senior Sister well in the future.”
Zhu Jiu Yin was furious and her killing intent soared, “Nonsense, you’re courting death!”
Thinking about it, she was a dignified Holy Spirit Heavenly Moon Demon Spider, yet someone had actually set their sights on her and wanted her to be someone else’s mount. This was simply a humiliation, but at this moment, no matter how angry she was, it was useless. Under the restraint of the Heavenly Astral Locking Spirit Formation, her Holy Spirit Source had suffered some suppression, so she was unable to fully display her strength and had to protect Yang Kai. In just a few words, her body was riddled with wounds.
Fortunately, she was a Holy Spirit with a tenacious vitality, otherwise her combat strength would have been greatly reduced.
In her heart, she cursed Yang Kai for not knowing when to advance or retreat. This time, she had really been harmed by him and she had repeatedly tried to take Yang Kai away, but the words of Ti Zheng had aroused her murderous intent and she is determined to teach him a lesson.
