Chapter 2725: Chapter 2726: Xuan Gui Extinguishes the Heaven Formation

There were people from the Yuchen Palace, unexpectedly being used and controlled in this way. Everyone knew Shanhu, and thus sympathized more with the people from Yuchen Palace, harboring more resentment towards the Merfolk.

”There’s no time to investigate or contact anyone now, we can only go to stop the ceremony and rescue Yuchenzi.” Bai Ruozhu said.

The astrologer was somewhat worried, ”But what if we can’t control the Giant Turtle, what if the consequences are too severe?”

Bai Ruozhu sneered, ”Even if Yuchenzi’s blood is used up, it might still not be enough to control the Giant Turtle. Have you forgotten there was just a ceremony? This Giant Turtle is becoming more and more uncontrollable.”

Everyone nodded and together they left the room, knowing today would be a tough battle.

”What are you doing? You are not allowed near the Main Hall, leave quickly!” The Merfolk guard was startled seeing such a large group of Jiuli people and quickly stopped them.

”We want to see the great elder.” Bai Ruozhu said.

At that moment, Emerald ran over from behind, ”Hurry, Master is not going to make it, her jade token is all cracked.”

”People from the Yuchen Palace, who allowed you to run around?” the guard shouted.

Bai Ruozhu struck the guard and sent him flying, ”Blocking my way and still being arrogant, seeking death!”

The guard vomited blood, ”You, you all...”

Other guards hurried to stop them, but Jiang Yichun and the others moved quickly, easily knocking the guards to the ground.

A group of people rushed into the Main Hall, where restrictions assaulted them. Feng Cheng swung his sword a few times, the pressure vanished instantly; he had broken the restriction.

Wenyu and Ling Chen rushed out, looking surprised to see Bai Ruozhu.

”From the beginning, were you here to plot against Merfolk Island? Did you do something to the Giant Turtle?” Wenyu asked angrily.

Bai Ruozhu sneered, ”We disdain doing such things. You couldn’t control the Giant Turtle and wanted to sacrifice people from Yuchen Palace. We are here to save Yuchenzi. Considering past occasions, I don’t want to harm you, but if you insist on stopping us, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Wenyu hesitated. His beloved had died from blood loss, but it wasn’t Yuchen Palace that forced her, rather she willingly sacrificed herself to save others, showing the depth of their bonds.

And now Yuchenzi was about to die; she was the master of Agate. Was he really willing to ignore Agate’s last wish and stop Bai Ruozhu?

”I...” Wenyu couldn’t speak, and suddenly dropped his long sword, ”You may leave.”

Ling Chen quickly glanced at him and stepped aside, saying in a low voice, ”I want to leave here, remember what we agreed on.”

She said this to Fo Lanying, who immediately nodded, ”I consider you a friend, I won’t deceive you.”

Bai Ruozhu immediately led the way inside, Ling Chen thought for a moment and followed; Wenyu gritted his teeth, picked up his sword, and chased after them.

Inside the Main Hall, there was a passageway leading to a deep, dark end where nothing could be seen. Feng Cheng pointed toward that direction and said, ”It’s there.”

He swung his sword again, breaking the restrictions, and everyone saw another Main Hall at the end, where a ceremony was being conducted.

”Quickly!” Bai Ruozhu was the first to rush forward, Jiang Yichun hurriedly followed, thus nobody noticed Feng Cheng clutching his chest, his face becoming paler.

”How did you get in here?” The great elder saw Bai Ruozhu and the others and shouted angrily, his face no longer holding the usual kindly smile.

”Release Yuchenzi, or we’ll have to act.” Bai Ruozhu said, drawing her dagger.

Two men in their late twenties were pressing Yuchenzi, both her wrists were cut, bleeding out. Due to excessive bleeding, the wound bled slowly, and the color had turned light red.

These two had never been seen before, presumably figures of some status with considerable strength.

”You’re courting death!” The great elder moved, instantly covering the Main Hall with a layer of ice, freezing everyone’s legs.

Most Merfolk specialized in water control, but the great elder used ice, which was unique.

Jiang Yichun waved his hand, and the water vapor in the air condensed, creating a stream on the ground, causing the ice to melt and loosen.

The group took the opportunity to cut through the ice layer with their swords and regain mobility in their legs.

Bai Ruozhu flicked her fingers, and the drug powder scattered, she then unleashed Furball to attack the great elder, rapidly charging forward to reach the captive Yuchenzi.

”Careful...” Yuchenzi tried to mouth the words, her voice barely audible. She was weak, struggling to hold on.

Bai Ruozhu felt pained, as one person suddenly screamed at Bai Ruozhu, the sound shrill and deadly, making Bai Ruozhu clutch her ears, suffering.

”Shut up!” Fo Lanying rushed forward, using a Divine Sense Attack, causing the person to clutch their head and fall to the ground, stopping the sonic attack.

The other person suddenly moved, leaving a trail of afterimages rapidly assaulting Bai Ruozhu.

The astrologer and Ning Yu stepped forward, quickly forming an array that blocked the afterimages, allowing Bai Ruozhu to rush towards Yuchenzi, sealing acupoints to stop the bleeding while feeding her several red pills.

”You cannot die; if you do, Emerald won’t live either.” Bai Ruozhu whispered gently in her ear, seeing Yuchenzi’s dim eyes as if she had given up hope.

”And Shanhu, Xuchenzi, they are still out there waiting for you.” she added.

Yuchenzi’s eyes slowly opened a bit, gaining some light, and she became more spirited.

Bai Ruozhu quickly applied needles to bandage her, though recovery would require quite a bit of time. Emerald rushed over, crying and holding Yuchenzi, ”Master, it’s good you’re alright; you promised to be with me. If anything happens to you, I’ll die here too.”

Faced with her disciple’s firm gaze, Yuchenzi knew Bai Ruozhu wasn’t scaring her and understood Emerald’s temperament, she slowly nodded, ”I will strive to survive.”

By now, the ice in the Main Hall had melted, but the great elder conjured several ice spears, fiercely attacking Bai Ruozhu. Jiang Yichun swung his sword several times and shattered the ice spears.

”You’re courting death! You forced me to do this!” The great elder yelled hysterically, and beneath him, complex and strange patterns emerged, as he began chanting a lengthy spell, the second elder rushed out from behind, shouting excitedly, ”Brother, you can’t use the Xuan Gui Annihilation Array, it will kill you!”

The great elder seemed on the verge of madness, laughing wildly, ”I’m willing to die as long as these people accompany me, it’s worth it! After I die, you control the Giant Turtle; Merfolk Island will still be Merfolk Island, and you can all live long and prosper!”

Bai Ruozhu felt an ominous premonition rise in her heart, the Xuan Gui Annihilation Array must be an extremely terrifying existence, right?

Found an error, the previous Chapter mistakenly referred to Emerald as Agate, having similar names is not good, they can be easily confused, corrected~
