The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 831: Panic Strikes

As everyone observed Xuening’s expression, her confusion only grew more intense.

“I don’t know either,” she said, her voice uncertain. “I’m just following the guidance of the Guiding Divine Flower. I felt I could open these places, so I came here.”

She gazed at the pit before them, which was shrouded in a five-colored glow, her eyes filled with the same bewilderment.

As they spoke, the people gathered near the pit were shocked to see the chaotic and violent aura emanating from below intensify.

The five-colored energy shield began to ripple, as if a giant beast was thrashing beneath it.

It wasn’t long before a deafening roar echoed from the pit. 

A dazzling five-colored column of light shot out, and within it, dozens of ferocious beasts, each with a different appearance but all sharing the same violent energy, erupted from the depths.

The aura surrounding these beasts was also imbued with a holy power.

Su Jingzhen and the others were immediately stunned. Wasn’t this the same as the giant beasts that had transformed from the Divine Sources in the dense forest?

They had no doubt that if these newly-emerged beasts were killed, they would also contain high-level Divine Sources.

However, the eyes of the creatures were filled with an unmistakable sense of reverence.

After glancing at Xuening, the beasts didn’t hesitate. They turned around and headed directly toward the cliff they came from, as if that was their true destination.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen, Qiu Yaoyao, and the others didn’t try to stop them.

Even though the majority of these beasts were at the early stage of the Celestial Being Realm, with many at the late stage of the Tribulation Realm, they could easily defeat them and harvest the power of the Divine Source.

But everything that had happened today had shifted their focus away from the Divine Source itself.

With the presence of the Guiding Divine Flower, they could collect as many Divine Sources as they wanted once they figured out what was going on.

For now, they had no time to waste, and they headed straight for the Divine Source Valley where it all began.

They didn’t care about the curious or covetous looks of the onlookers as they made their way. The five of them were all grim-faced as they moved forward.

Meanwhile, at the other end, Zhen Bufan had gathered what he considered to be a sufficiently strong team.

He had over sixty teams, with a total of nearly one hundred members.

Most of them were only at the Unity Realm, and he intended to use them as cannon fodder.

Zhen Bufan, wrapped in his black robe, grinned.

“This time, I have five late-stage Celestial Being Realm experts,

and more than ten at the early stages of the Celestial Being Realm.

Plus countless Unity Realm and Tribulation Realm cultivators. No matter how strong Jian Ling is, let’s see how she can stop me.”

For the past two days, he had been monitoring Su Jingzhen and the others closely.

Although they had visited several locations, making him anxious, looking at his vast army of teams behind him, he remained confident.

At that moment, he once again sensed the movements of Su Jingzhen and the others and frowned.

“Have they returned to the original valley?

Good, let’s take advantage of this. Where you fell, you shall rise again. This is the opportunity you have given me.”

It was in this very Divine Source Valley that he and the Dongxuan Academy had been forced to retreat in defeat.

But for him, this was undoubtedly the chance to turn things around.

“I’ve located their position. Let’s go, everyone.

You should all be able to sense their Divine Source markings.

I’m guessing that they have a special method for locating Divine Source Marks, and they probably have a lot of Divine Source that haven’t been absorbed yet.

After all, everyone knows that once a person has absorbed a certain amount of Divine Source, any further absorption will be less effective,” he said.

Zhen Bufan’s voice was calm as he spoke to his followers, though his words carried the weight of a solemn vow.

At some unknown point, his focus had shifted from merely taking the Divine Source from Su Jingzhen to ensuring their complete annihilation.

Now, he only cared about their lives.

Upon hearing Zhen Bufan’s sincere words, the expressions of the people behind him became more and more excited.

Each of them could clearly sense the Divine Source marks on Su Jingzhen and his group.

To say that they weren’t tempted would be a lie.

Soon, their group surged forward at full speed, a massive force heading straight for the Divine Source Valley.

Before long, Su Jingzhen and his group had arrived at the entrance of the valley.

As expected, the area was already bathed in five-colored divine light.

As expected, a large number of people had gathered around, attracted by the energy emanating from the valley.

Some had even begun to rush into the valley itself.

However, just like the deep pit before, there was a thick five-colored energy barrier blocking the entrance.

The power of the barrier was so strong that even a cultivator of the Celestial Being Realm would find it difficult to break through it.

Beneath the barrier, the violent and holy auras of dozens of beasts grew stronger.

Everyone knew that these were the same kinds of beasts that had appeared in the Divine Source Valley in a single day, similar to those from the Deep Pit.

“What is going on? How could such powerful Divine Source Beasts appear in just one day, and in such numbers?”

Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but wonder aloud, his mind filled with confusion.

Xuening was even more confused.

A trace of fear flickered deep in her eyes.

Unconsciously, she moved closer to Su Jingzhen.

“Brother Su, I… I really don’t know what’s going on.”

Su Jingzhen held her hand firmly.

“It’s okay. No matter what happens, I’ll be here to protect you.”

He spoke with a soft, calming voice.

Even though he sensed that Xuening’s aura had grown even more sacred over the past few days, in Su Jingzhen’s eyes, she was still the same girl who needed his protection.

From the first time they met in Dantai Mingjing’s courtyard, when Dantai Mingjing entrusted her to him, Su Jingzhen had silently vowed to protect her.

As his power increased, that sense of responsibility had only grown stronger.

Their bond had long since reached the level of mutual affection.

In Su Jingzhen’s heart, he was always Xuening’s pillar of support.

At this moment, Xuening provided a triple emotional boost.

As Su Jingzhen held her hand, Xuening’s heart gradually calmed down.

Meanwhile, outside at the observation square, those from the Four Water Region, such as the Heavenly Dragon Lord, had completely lost their composure.
