A Cai pondered briefly and understood.
"Earlier, this area around the lightning pool was covered by a forbidden power suspected to come from a deity. And that fishhook-like treasure was hooked onto the roots of the Heaven Cutting Grass. It is clear that this Heaven Cutting Grass had long since caught the eye of that deity-like existence!"
A Cai said, "When we plucked the Heaven Cutting Grass just now, we clearly alarmed the other party. That was why they acted, intending to take the Heaven Cutting Grass away."
Su Yi nodded. "That should be the case."
"Fellow cultivator Su, did you notice where the thread that was pulling the fishhook led?"
A Cai asked.
Su Yi mused, "That thread was most likely traversing the void between time and space. Moreover, if all this was truly arranged by some deity, then the other end of that thread was most likely held in that deity's hand!"
A Cai's spiritual eyes narrowed imperceptibly.
A deity had acted earlier!?
"However, one thing is certain: the other party could not enter the Extraterritorial Battlefield. They could only use that thread and fishhook to retrieve the Heaven Cutting Grass. It was like fishing by the edge of an abyss—the person stood on shore and did not dare rashly enter the water."
Su Yi spoke rapidly.
As he spoke, he had already removed the fishhook-shaped treasure from the Heaven Cutting Grass.
This treasure truly was no different from a fishhook. Nearly transparent, it was as slender as an ox hair.
When Su Yi rubbed the treasure between his fingertips, his skin felt as though it had been pricked by a needle. A drop of blood seeped out and was immediately absorbed by the fishhook.
Even his own protective power had failed to block it!
Buzz!
The fishhook
