Chapter 263: Aura-Shielding Spell Formation
“Greetings, Grandmaster!”
Seeing that Master Lingkong had returned to his peak condition, Ye Lingxuan dared not be arrogant. She took a step back and bowed.
However, just as Ye Lingxuan’s knees were bent halfway, she felt a strong force lifting her.
Then, Master Lingkong stood up and helped her up and kindly said,
“Lingxuan, it’s me who should be thanking you. If you and Victor hadn’t appeared in time, our Green Dragon Sect might have been destroyed by now…”
Master Lingkong sighed.
At the same time, the hundreds of Green Dragon Sect disciples behind him also bowed to Ye Lingxuan and said in unison,
“Thank you, eldest senior sister, for saving us!”
“Everyone… everyone, there’s no need to be so polite!”
Ye Lingxuan hurriedly supported Master Lingkong and waved at everyone at the same time, indicating for them to keep quiet and to be careful not to attract the Fire Sect Master’s attention.
Everyone was aware that they had yet to completely escape the critical situation. They all followed the eldest senior sister’s instructions and sat down cross-legged.
“Lingxuan, how did you and Victor escape? Is that spirit dragon already a sword spirit of Victor’s Purple Micro Divine Sword?”
Master Lingkong couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Speaking of which, the Heavenly Narcissus Lake Mystic Realm was blocked by layers of dense clouds, even nascent soul realm experts could not come out after being trapped inside.
He was really interested as to how Victor and Ye Lingxuan came out.
As for the Green Dragon Sword Spirit, it was famous for being unruly and untamable. A hundred years ago, it had to rely on the combined efforts of dozens of experts from the entire Green Dragon Sect to suppress it.
‘Now, why did it willingly become a sword spirit of a sword?
‘Although it was called a sword spirit, it shouldn’t be such an obedient fellow!’
Master Lingkogn was extremely puzzled.
Many of the disciples present were also very curious about this.
They all pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
However, Ye Lingxuan did not seem to be in a hurry to answer the questions.
She knew that the crisis had not been resolved yet, it was not the right time to be story-telling.
From the outsider’s perspective, it seemed as if Victor’s strength was close to the Fire Sect Master’s, and that he may even have a tendency to win.
However, only Ye Lingxuan knew that Victor had basically used his full strength for the battle whereas the Fire Sect Master had yet to put in any effort.
Nascent soul realm experts were definitely not so easy to deal with.
They were still in a crisis. This was not the time to discuss such matters.
‘Logically speaking, it was impossible for Master Lingkong to not know about this situation. Why would he ask such a question?
‘Could it be that, just as Victor and Wang Shuang had said, master had been in seclusion for too long and had completely lost his sensitivity to danger?
‘Was he unable to differentiate between priorities?’
Ye Lingxuan thought in her heart.
Subconsciously, she was still unwilling to believe this reality.
However, the reality was right in front of her eyes. Master Lingkong was even able to fall for Wang Shuang’s petty tricks. He might actually be senile…
When Ye Lingxuan thought of this, she forced herself to not let her imagination run wild. Instead, she recalled the plan that she had formulated with Victor before she came.
“Master, the current situation is still very urgent.
“Before I came here, Victor and I had discussed that Junior Brother Victor would be in charge of restraining the Fire Sect Master. I would take this opportunity to bring all of you away.
“As the opponent is a nascent soul realm expert, our intention is for the sect’s disciples to not participate in the battle.
“Otherwise, not only would they be of no help to us, they might even become a bargaining chip for the other party.
“What do you think?”
Ye Lingxuan was asking, but she was stating the truth.
In their current situation, the disciples of the sect had no fighting strength at all. If they participated, they would just end up dying…
However, Master Lingkong might really be a little old and muddle-headed.
After hearing Ye Lingxuan’s suggestion, he hesitated for a moment before saying, “This… Lingxuan, I don’t think it’s appropriate, right?
“The disciples of the sect should sacrifice themselves for the sect.
“At this moment, the sect is in danger.
“It’s the time for the disciples of the sect to sacrifice themselves!
“Everyone, what do you think?”
After Master Lingkong finished speaking, his gaze swept over the hundreds of disciples present.
However, at this moment, not a single person in the entire canyon responded to him.
Everyone looked at each other with a conflicted expression as they remained silent.
Seeing this scene, Master Lingkong fell silent.
He had actually expected that everyone would have this reaction.
However, he thought that the reason why no one dared to say anything when facing the Fire Sect Master and Wang Shuang was because he, Master Lingkong, had not recovered his strength.
He thought that when his strength recovered, everyone would have confidence.
Nonetheless, his strength had already recovered, yet no one reacted.
Master Lingkong finally understood.
He no longer had any prestige in front of the sect disciples.
It was the kind of feeling where he was the sect master, yet none of the sect disciples had a sense of admiration toward him.
It was very miserable.
In an instant, he felt as if he had aged ten years.
Fortunately, Ye Lingxuan spoke up in time to mediate the situation,
“Master, at this moment, the disciples are all injured and unconscious. All of them are not in their best condition. Participating in the battle would be no different from sending themselves to their deaths.
“It’s good to sacrifice yourself for the sect, but not a meaningless sacrifice.
“Therefore, I would like to ask a favor from Grandmaster.
“I would like to request the Grandmaster to use this place as a barrier and set up an Aura-Shielding Spell Formation.
“So that the disciples of the sect can slowly recover their strength here.
“I on the other hand am willing to be the vanguard of the sect and go with my Junior Brother Victor to fight against the Fire Sect Master!”
Ye Lingxuan’s words were sincere.
She spoke for the disciples of the sect and also helped to mediate the situation for Master Lingkong. At the same time, she also made her stance clear.
Consequently, after she finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, after Master Lingkong heard Ye Lingxuan’s words, he also let out a sigh and a smile.
‘My disciple is all grown up now.
‘I have lost my dignity and there’s no turning back.
‘In that case, helping my disciple establish her dignity was also a good choice.’
Thinking of this, Master Lingkong sighed and made a decision.
“Alright, as your master, I’ll listen to you. Let’s try setting up a barrier in this valley!”
After Master Lingkong finished speaking, the spiritual energy in his hands surged.
Following that, countless spiritual energy laws revolved around his body and then enveloped a radius of several kilometers!
Aura-Shielding Spell Formation!
This spell could isolate the aura within the formation. The outside world would not be able to detect the aura of the people within the formation at all!
With Master Lingkong’s strength at the peak of the third level of the core formation realm…
Once this spell was cast, even a nascent soul realm expert may not be able to sense the aura of the people within the formation.
In the canyon.
Looking at the formation that was surging in all directions.
Many people let out a long sigh of relief.
It was only now that everyone’s hearts began to calm down.
With this formation, their safety was finally guaranteed.
However, just as everyone thought that they could recover their cultivation in peace, they heard Ye Lingxuan’s cold voice,
“Who here is Wang Shuang’s accomplice? Step forward!”
