Chapter 350: It Has to Be You
At this time, there was only one top force left in the central square, Spirit Sound Valley.
It could be said that at this moment, Grandma Yinhua was the strongest in terms of both status and power among everyone present.
Seeing the confusion on everyone’s faces, a ruthless glint reappeared on Grandma Yinhua’s aged face.
She waved her floral robes, and three silver needles shot out in an instant.
Three Free and Unfettered Sect disciples immediately collapsed.
Dead instantly!
Only then did everyone realize that Grandma Yinhua was not joking.
“Can’t you hear me speaking? Kill!”Grandma Yinhua’s cold voice echoed again.
The Spirit Sound Valley cultivators finally reacted.
Their killing intent immediately spread.
Without any hesitation, they launched a direct attack on all the remaining Free and Unfettered Sect disciples.
Facing only a group of Foundation Establishment and Qi-refining stage cultivators, the Free and Unfettered Sect disciples, though constantly begging for mercy, fell one after another.
Under the overwhelming power of the Spirit Sound Valley cultivators, they had no room to resist.
In less than half a stick of incense, dozens of Free and Unfettered Sect disciples, both male and female, were reduced to corpses lying on the plaza.
Everyone knew, of course, that many of them were truly innocent.
They knew nothing, and many were even junior disciples following their elders for training.
But this was the cruelty of the cultivation world.
Whether truly innocent or not, if they were to die, they would die.
Sometimes, one’s stance and identity alone could determine their fate.
After the last Free and Unfettered Sect disciple fell, Grandma Yinhua let out a cold laugh: “The Free and Unfettered Sect plotted against us, they deserved this fate. This is the price they have to pay.”
Grandma Yinhua’s words seemed to be an explanation to the other cultivators still on the plaza.
It was indeed a justifiable reason,
But everyone knew she was representing Spirit Sound Valley’s stance.
In fact, besides the smaller factions, the other eight secondary factions also understood.
After all, during the Alchemist Convention, Spirit Sound Valley had been very close to Feng Qingya and the others.
And in everyone’s eyes, Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya were on the same side.
At this moment, Spirit Sound Valley’s stance was clearly a signal being sent to the Evil Moon Sect.
“Qingzhou’s sky is changing.”
“Actually, after the Evil Moon Sect’s resurgence, everyone should have anticipated these changes.”
“…”
After the shock, everyone murmured to themselves.
Today’s events were a huge blow to them.
Many smaller factions had already quietly retreated.
They didn’t want to get involved in this muddy water anymore.
Many people just wanted to go back, close their mountain gates, and wait for the situation in the Qingzhou region to become clear before returning to the world.
In the Qingzhou region, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could establish their own sect.
Therefore, the strongest in many factions were only at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Such strength could be crushed in any upheaval in the Qingzhou land.
“Grandma Yinhua is so bold! Since the Free and Unfettered Sect people are dead, our staying here is useless. Farewell!”
All the resentment in the hearts of those eight people from the secondary forces completely disappeared at this moment.
They knew that what happened today was a foregone conclusion and they no longer had any chance.
If they left too late, when Shen Yifeng and the others came out, everything they had gained at the Spiritual Medicine Sect might be taken back.
Before long, on the central plaza, apart from the corpses scattered everywhere, only a hundred or so Spirit Sound Valley cultivators remained.
The Spirit Sound Valley cultivators stared intently at Grandma Yinhua.
As if waiting for her next instructions.
However, Grandma Yinhua coldly said: “Return to the valley! Remember, today’s events were initiated by the Free and Unfettered Sect’s provocation. We, Spirit Sound Valley, are acting in self-defense!”
After saying that, she took the lead and soared into the sky on her flying artifact.
…
The events that unfolded on the plaza were, of course, unknown to Su Jingzhen and the others still within that space.
An hour later, Luo Yuebai, who had been in a meditative state, finally woke up.
At this time, both Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng clearly sensed that Luo Yuebai seemed to have gained a certain indescribable aura.
It was clear that during her previous meditation, she had made a real gain.
The moment Luo Yuebai opened her eyes, Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng couldn’t contain their curiosity.
“Yuebai, how are you?”
The two spoke in unison, almost instinctively.
Hearing their words, a hint of confusion appeared in Luo Yuebai’s eyes.
“I… I don’t know… It’s like something was gained by me, but I don’t know where it is, or what it is…”
Luo Yuebai’s expression didn’t seem like a lie, but it made Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng frown.
“Girl, continue to contemplate the other spirit patterns,” Shen Yifeng said to Luo Yuebai after a moment of thought.
Luo Yuebai nodded, her gaze fell back on the spirit pattern inscription in front of her. At that moment, her heart skipped a beat.
Because at this time, the spirit pattern inscription in front of her no longer held any trace of Dao rhyme.
It seemed ordinary.
Su Jingzhen also immediately noticed this change, his heart filled with shock.
This inscription was quite complete, depicting a battlefield.
Two blurry figures were fighting within the battlefield.
They fought in the clouds, they fought in the sky, but they couldn’t determine a victor.
Previously, Su Jingzhen and the others could still feel the Dao rhyme emanating from it, but now, the inscription seemed like an ordinary artifact.
Apart from depicting this event, there was nothing left.
“What… what’s going on?”
Luo Yuebai, as the person involved, was equally confused.
The shock in her heart was no less than Su Jingzhen’s.
Shen Yifeng’s eyes held excitement: “Girl, continue, continue to look at the other spirit patterns.”
Luo Yuebai nodded and turned to look at another complete inscription beside it.
However, this time, she couldn’t enter the state she had experienced before.
Even when she approached, a gentle but powerful force pushed her away from the inscription.
“I… it’s rejecting me!”
Luo Yuebai’s eyes showed a hint of bewilderment.
She quickly walked to another somewhat damaged spirit pattern inscription.
She tried to enter the same state of enlightenment, but she was met with the same treatment.
“It seems that even though Yuebai is destined to be connected to these patterns, it’s only a part of it,” Shen Yifeng sighed, he didn’t directly stop Luo Yuebai from her actions.
He let her try one by one.
After going through all of them, Luo Yuebai returned to Su Jingzhen’s side.
Her expression didn’t seem disheartened.
She chuckled wryly, “It seems my connection with this space ends here.”
Throughout this process, Luo Yuebai naturally noticed the two inscriptions that Su Jingzhen had absorbed the Dao rhyme from with the black brick.
But she didn’t mind, after all, not every inscription on the four walls of this space held Dao rhyme.
“Since that’s the case, perhaps we can leave this place now. We’ve spent enough time here, let’s see what’s happening outside. We should still try our best to find those alchemists from the Spiritual Medicine Sect. As for this place, we can always come back to contemplate it later, it’s not that important.”
In Shen Yifeng’s view, even if others found a way to enter this place, it wouldn’t matter much.
These things on the inscriptions were all about fate.
Not just here, but in the entire cultivation world, every opportunity was like this.
What belonged to someone was theirs, and when fate wasn’t ready, forcing it would be futile.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen also smiled and said, “What’s meant to be will be. At least Yuebai, you’ve gained something remarkable this time. Although we don’t know the effects yet, the aura emanating from you now will probably be of great help to your future cultivation.”
As soon as he said this, both Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng were taken aback.
“What’s meant to be will be…”
Shen Yifeng pondered these words for a moment, then burst into laughter, “Haha… you’re still the one, kid. With this kind of understanding, how can you not achieve great things on the path of cultivation?”
His tone changed, and he sighed, “But it’s a pity, you kid are a Body Cultivation…”
As Shen Yifeng spoke, Luo Yuebai looked at Su Jingzhen with softer eyes.
Her emotional changes were more direct.
Once again, small golden characters appeared in front of Su Jingzhen.
