"Indeed, Elder Sister had thought it through more thoroughly!"
With that, the two exchanged a glance, their gazes falling simultaneously on the leading female cultivator.
The three said no more. Air currents surged around them.
In the blink of an eye, they vanished into the void beyond the nine heavens, leaving no trace behind.
Above Yun Ge Sect's Sect Protection Formation, clouds gathered and scattered.
No one in the entire Yun Ge Sect noticed the changes occurring beyond the nine heavens.
No one knew that the entire sect had, in truth, already walked once along the brink of life and death.
Twelve Peaks.
On the mountaintop beside the main peak, Su Shi'er stood quietly inside the cultivation chamber.
Before him, Lady Tianyun, protected by the light barrier formed by a Magical Treasure glowing with emerald ghostly light, wore an expression uglier than death.
"How... is this possible? Your strength and methods are actually powerful to such a degree?"
Though she was inside the cultivation chamber, she had witnessed every part of Su Shi'er's battle against True Person Qing Yue and the others.
It was inconceivable.
Impossible to believe.
This man possessed so many hidden cards. Facing all eleven of True Person Qing Yue's group, he had first schemed against and eliminated the six weakest among them.
Then, against the remaining five, he had used formations and his own strength to force them back.
The five were wary of breaking the rat's vessel for fear of harming the rat within. Or rather, they feared that continuing the battle would bring losses too grievous to bear, and one by one, their fighting spirit crumbled.
A situation of absolute advantage had been so easily defused.
That string of changes had seemed simple and had occurred in an extremely short span of time.
