Join the ServerSong Zhiyou was watching intently.
A few li ahead was open ground. If they left now, they might catch the attention of those two. The loss would outweigh the gain.
She didn’t want that sect elder to die, but against a Core Formation stage evil cultivator, she was helpless.
She planned to hide here until the fight was over and one of them left.
But she never expected the Eight Trigrams Heaven Covering Array to stop working right then!
It stopped even though they were feeding spirit stones into it nonstop!
Their aura leaked out. In just an instant, the black-robed evil cultivator found them.
Song Zhiyou swore that array was defective.
Otherwise, how could it break so fast?
Could there be no trust between people in this world anymore?
The evil cultivator reacted incredibly fast. She ignored Yuhengzi and aimed her arrow at Song Zhiyou first.
When Song Zhiyou looked up, the arrow was already flying straight at her!
The arrow was wrapped in thick black qi and a brutal, raging aura, as if it would swallow the entire space around her in an instant.
Too late!
There was no way she could dodge an attack like that.
Even if she dodged, the evil cultivator would surely strike again.
Song Zhiyou’s mind raced. She took something from her storage pouch and put it on quickly.
Whatever. Let’s try it. She was gambling.
She took a deep breath and stepped out from her hiding place.
Facing the black arrow, she did not retreat or avoid.
The evil cultivator watched from afar as a figure in a white robe slowly emerged from the shadows.
The white robe glowed, completely hiding the person’s face.
She walked leisurely, actually heading straight for the black arrow!
Seeing this, the evil cultivator narrowed her eyes, a hint of mockery flashing in them.
Utterly reckless.
That person had no idea what the Black Feather Arrow could do. She wasn’t even trying to defend.
But the next second, something unbelievable happened.
The black arrow touched the white-robed figure and began to disappear little by little, without any warning!
The person in white wasn’t even hurt. Not a single corner of her robe was disturbed.
Impossible!
This was simply impossible!
“Ha.” A cold, contemptuous snort came, just a single syllable, but it made the evil cultivator feel as if she had fallen into an ice pit.
She looked at the figure that was not tall, even a bit short, but her previous contempt was completely gone.
She dared not be negligent toward this person in white.
She was at Core Formation. Her Black Feather Arrow was a divine weapon that could even ambush higher ranks.
But now, not only had it failed to harm the person in white, it hadn’t left even a trace on the robe.
The black arrow had simply vanished from this space.
The evil cultivator tried several times to sense the arrow, but failed.
It was as if the person in front of her had erased the arrow from the world.
“S-senior, I didn’t mean to offend. I didn’t know it was you…”
Sweat beaded on the evil cultivator’s forehead.
She thought about running, but feared that would anger the person before her.
If she moved, she might be killed instantly.
The more she thought, the more she trembled.
She fell to her knees and took off all her storage pouches.
“Senior, this is my apology gift. Please be magnanimous and spare me this once.”
“Yes, and the Black Feather Arrow too. I offer it all to you.”
As she spoke, she presented the arrow and crossbow respectfully.
The evil cultivator could tell that the terrifying power before her was not from the righteous path. If she were righteous, she would have killed her already.
Since she hadn’t, there was room for negotiation.
She cast a sidelong glance at the white robe.
The white robe merely swept over all her belongings without even pausing.
Another snort came, this time with clear displeasure.
“Who wants your trash? Get lost while I’m still in a good mood!”
Hearing this, the evil cultivator felt as if she had received a pardon. She thanked profusely and fled as fast as she could.
She didn’t dare take anything from the ground.
The senior didn’t want it out of disdain.
But she couldn’t afford to lose face over that.
What if the senior thought she wasn’t sincere and killed her?
The evil cultivator disappeared in an instant.
Song Zhiyou stared at the direction the evil cultivator had fled, eyes wide, nearly losing her composure.
Damn it, don’t run that way!!!!
That was exactly the direction she had chosen as the optimal escape route!!!
Song Zhiyou was devastated.
She had gambled right, but why wasn’t she happy?
After confirming the evil cultivator was really gone, she took off the white robe.
The robe was now extremely fragile. A tiny bit of spiritual energy would turn it to dust.
She had been lucky this time.
The robe could only block one Core Formation strike. She had just used the fact that attacks entering the paper pages left no trace to bluff the evil cultivator.
Or rather, the evil cultivator had scared herself with her own imagination.
Song Zhiyou carefully put the robe back into her storage pouch, then looked toward Song Qingyao.
Song Qingyao’s face was pale, still shaken.
If Song Zhiyou hadn’t reacted so fast and bluffed the evil cultivator, they would be dead by now.
Thinking about it still made her heart race.
“Song Zhiyou, how did you do that…?”
She asked herself. If it were her, she certainly wouldn’t have been as quick-witted or good at acting.
Song Zhiyou wiped the sweat from her forehead and waved her hand.
“I’m your older sister, so of course I can. Forget that now, let’s check on that elder.”
Song Qingyao nodded and also looked at the elder.
At some point, the elder had fallen unconscious. Her face was pale, and she looked just as lifeless as Song Qingyao had before.
Song Zhiyou quickly put away the evil cultivator’s storage pouch and the black-feather crossbow, then hurried to the elder.
“Song Zhiyou, what do we do? She looks really bad…”
Song Zhiyou first fed her a Healing Pill and a Blood Coagulation Pill, then opened her storage pouch to look for higher-grade pills.
She found two bottles that smelled like they might be related to healing, so she poured them down the elder’s throat.
Song Zhiyou and Song Qingyao watched the elder expectantly.
The elder still lay straight on the ground, without any movement.
Song Qingyao sensed something wrong. Her eyes fell on the pill bottle in Song Zhiyou’s hand.
She took it, sniffed, and was shocked.
“Song Zhiyou, why did you give Elder Yuheng a Clarity Mind Pill?”
