Chapter 156 Is That It?

Elder Shi spoke in a hurry, recounting everything he knew to Nalan Susu!

"Let's go and see!" Nalan Susu said coldly, transforming into a streak of divine rainbow and flying toward the foot of the mountain first.

At the foot of the Scripture Repository Peak!

Starting from the main gate of the Azure Cloud Sect, a young woman in white with a veil had been burying people all the way up. She looked toward the summit, twitched her delicate nose slightly, as if confirming something.

After a moment, as though she had made up her mind, the young woman hoisted the Luoyang shovel planted in the ground and prepared to walk up the mountain.

Within a radius of a hundred meters around her, thousands of inner and outer sect disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect followed at a distance, among whom were quite a few elders at the Golden Core realm.

"Junior Brother Lin, has the Sect Master not come down yet?" another elder dressed in black asked Elder Lin beside him.

"It should be soon. Senior Brother Shi has already gone to inform the Sect Master. Let's wait a bit longer. This veiled woman in white is extremely bizarre; as long as one gets within a hundred meters of her, any spell with the power of the Golden Core realm or above becomes ineffective," Elder Lin said.

"Look, it's the Sect Master! The Sect Master is here."

"The Sect Master has really come."

The disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect grew excited at once.

Nalan Susu hovered mid-air, looking at the scene below. A veiled young woman clad in white as snow was preparing to walk up the Scripture Repository Peak.

Behind the young woman in white were rows of heads, all of whom had been knocked unconscious, their bodies buried in the earth with only their heads exposed.

This path of heads extended all the way outside the Azure Cloud Sect.

Seeing this, Nalan Susu's face grew even frostier; among the buried people, she spotted seven or eight Golden Core realm elders.

Beyond the hundred-meter mark was a formation composed of tens of thousands of Azure Cloud Sect disciples and elders!

Even though her heart burned with fury, as the leader of the Azure Cloud Sect, she needed more than sheer strength; she needed brains.

After careful sensing, she found that the young woman felt completely like an ordinary person, with no fluctuations of cultivation whatsoever. Even the shovel-like weapon in her hand bore no signs of being a magical treasure, resembling instead an utterly mundane mortal tool.

"Do you still not feel humiliated enough? All of you, return to your posts and attend to your duties! No one is allowed to step within a thousand meters of the Scripture Repository Peak. I will handle this matter personally!" Nalan Susu looked toward the crowd and shouted coldly.

"Yes!"

Hearing Nalan Susu's words, everyone lowered their heads in shame, not daring to meet her gaze, including the inner and outer sect elders.

When so many people failed to stop an unidentified young woman, what face did they have left to linger here?

"You go back too, you good-for-nothing," Nalan Susu barked at Elder Shi behind her.

Elder Shi offered a sheepish, awkward smile, the embarrassment written all over his face, as if he were long accustomed to Nalan Susu's demeanor.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Elder Shi flew away swiftly, exhaling a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Sect Master did not mete out punishment. He had lost face to the extreme; after living for a century or two, he was now utterly helpless against a mere young girl.

Seeing that everyone had left, Nalan Susu descended toward the ground.

Landing ten meters away from the young woman in white, she said, "I am Nalan Susu, Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect. Whom are you looking for?"

Although this veiled young woman had broken into the Azure Cloud Sect, she had not killed anyone, merely knocking them unconscious without causing any substantial harm. From this, it could be inferred that she was likely here to search for someone.

And as for the candidate, Nalan Susu did not even need to think to know that person was none other than Ye Wuya! Only someone connected to him could possess such terrifying power—whether it was his disciple Jiang Xiaoxiao, the two terrifying seniors up on the mountain, or the veiled young woman before her, she felt she was no match for any of them.

"Ye Wuya!"

The young woman in white, who had remained silent ever since arriving at the Azure Cloud Sect, softly uttered three words.

Her voice was melodious and exceptionally beautiful!

Hearing the name Ye Wuya, Nalan Susu thought to herself, "As expected, I knew it had to do with him!"

After a brief internal debate, Nalan Susu decided against trying to stop the veiled young woman. Regardless of whether she was friend or foe to Ye Wuya, victory was far from guaranteed, not to mention the two terrifying "seniors" guarding him from above.

There was no need for her to meddle, even though she had promised to follow Ye Wuya indefinitely.

"He's up there." Regardless of what the veiled young woman intended to do, Nalan Susu sold Ye Wuya out in a single sentence.

With that, she pointed toward the direction of the courtyard where Ye Wuya resided.

The veiled young woman did not speak. Instead, she nodded at Nalan Susu, then set off, walking upward.

Everyone on the Scripture Repository Peak had been dispersed by Nalan Susu, ensuring no one would disturb them within a thousand-meter radius.

Soon, behind the summit of the Azure Cloud Sect's Scripture Repository Peak!

At a small courtyard, two figures came into view from afar.

They were walking toward the small courtyard.

"Halt! Step a single half-step further, and you die without exception."

With a cold shout, a shadowy black figure materialized, projecting from the void.

The young woman acted as though she had heard nothing, continuing on her way toward the small courtyard.

Nalan Susu stopped a hundred and fifty meters away, advancing no further, watching the two intently.

"Hmph!"

With a cold shout from the dark figure, boundless baleful black Qi surged toward the veiled young woman, faintly accompanied by mournful wailing and cries so wretched they sounded as though countless wronged souls were trapped within that mass of black Qi.

The black Qi closed in on the young woman from all directions.

Seeing the endless black Qi rolling toward her, the young woman unhurriedly picked up the Luoyang shovel in her hand and began digging a pit.

The black Qi ultimately halted three meters away from the veiled young woman, coming to a complete stop as if hitting an invisible barrier.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the black Qi blocked, the shadowy figure increased its output.

Incomparable black Qi erupted from the dark entity.

Wherever the black Qi touched the grass on the ground, the vegetation withered instantly and rotted away.

This black Qi!

It was poisonous!

Yet even so, the young woman remained entirely unfazed. Soon, the pit she was digging was completed!

Wielding the Luoyang shovel, she assumed a swinging posture!

With a crisp "crack," that shadowy figure was actually shattered to pieces. It wasn't a physical entity?

The veiled young woman looked in bewilderment at the dark entity smashed into a cluster of black Qi, glanced around, and then swung her shovel at a patch of empty air.

"Thud!"

A muffled groan echoed from the void, as if something had been struck.

The young woman swung her shovel again, and a similar "thud" rang out from another direction.

Dusting off her hands as though all obstacles had been cleared away, she picked up her Luoyang shovel and filled the pit she had just dug.

Then, she headed toward the small courtyard.

That was it?

Nalan Susu stared blankly at this scene, unable to believe her eyes!

Yet those two figures never appeared again, leaving behind only two muffled groans!

Could it be that even those two seniors had been knocked unconscious?
