The Thing I Must Have

After all, the Nine Li Witch Maiden was only a mortal and had no means of protecting herself. With the more than ten thousand people on the square being a mixed crowd, it was naturally unsafe for her to walk through them.

At that moment, behind the Nine Li Witch Maiden, Old Man Black Stone pressed both hands down through the air, creating an invisible ripple. The ripple spread outward, and everyone it touched was forced back step by step by an immense pushing force.

"What's going on?"

Everyone was furious. They were all people of status, so of course they were unhappy at being suddenly pushed aside. However, the one who had acted was Old Man Black Stone, and they did not dare resist.

The ripple extended deep into the wasteland, forming a ten-zhang-wide passage that was completely unobstructed.

The Nine Li Witch Maiden stepped onto the passage and said to those around her, "I'm sorry. I've been frail since childhood, so I can only trouble everyone to make way. Please forgive the offense."

The Nine Li Witch Maiden's voice was gentle, like a spring breeze brushing past. Even those who had been furious could no longer vent their anger.

"Who is that woman?"

Just from Old Man Black Stone's attitude toward the black-veiled woman, it was clear that her status was extraordinarily high. She had to be an important figure of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom.

What irritated them was that after being pushed aside to make way, not only did the Nine Li Witch Maiden walk through, but Yi Yun followed her as well.

Yi Yun had remained at the Nine Li Witch Maiden's side the entire time, walking almost shoulder to shoulder with her.

Everyone present was an alchemist, while Yi Yun was still a junior.
