"Little girl, do you really want to push me to this extreme?"
The moment Chen Ying appeared within the Blazing Yang Grand Formation, the entire Blazing Yang Grand Formation locked onto the two of them, almost confirming that it was the academy disciples, including Shen Yuan, who were cooperating.
I was just fooled once, and it seems like I'm going to be completely ruined here.
She frowned as she looked at the divine flames soaring into the sky around her. The coordination was excellent. The moment the woman locked onto her, the entire massive formation revolved around her as the core, completely locking her inside!
The whole process took less than ten seconds. While he was still wary of the opponent's King Level power, he was already sealed off with no way to escape.
"I heard from Second Master Shen that you are their ancestor?" Chen Ying stared intently at the other party within the great formation. Because it was the second time she had unleashed her King Level power, compared to the first time when she was still unfamiliar with it, she could now control it freely. For example, just now, she had frightened the other party with only about ten breaths of release, and then successfully cooperated with the academy disciples to completely lock this monster inside the great formation!
"That child really tells you everything," Shen Ling said with a smile. "Does he trust you that much?"
"We were comrades-in-arms, of course we trust each other," Chen Ying said calmly. "And you? Don't you feel even a little bit of remorse using this method to treat your descendants?"
During their two days in the Underworld, Second Master Shen talked to her a lot. The Shen Family had long ago been a terrifying and cold family, with brothers wary of each other, their mother pushing them to the limit as they grew up, and the Shen Family patriarch always wanting to devour outstanding descendants to prolong his life. How could they be considered a family?
According to records, this is how the Shen Family all lived. The more outstanding the Shen Family family descendant, the more miserable their life was. The more talented they were, the stricter their mothers would be from a young age, hoping that they would become the direct descendants of the Shen Family family and inherit the Shen Family's techniques. They had no childhood and spent their days in various training and meditation. They could not even eat freely. While other rich young masters could eat whatever they wanted, they had to eat extremely simple meals in order to calm their minds faster.
After finally growing up and overcoming numerous obstacles to become a direct descendant of the Shen Family family, she was still shrouded in the terrifying shadow of her elders. In the end, she only realized on her deathbed that she had always been a prepared meal.
When Second Master Shen recounted this experience, his eyes shone with tenderness. He said softly, "But this generation of the Shen Family brothers were very humane. Because we had a very responsible eldest brother who took on all the horrors himself. Until his death, we brothers lived a very comfortable life."
Thinking of Second Master Shen, who lived for hundreds of years and recounted his experiences, Chen Ying felt a pang of sadness. She herself had been disliked by her parents since childhood and had also had some bad experiences, but she had a teacher who cared for her, which led to her achievements today.
The Shen Family was the same, but she just couldn't understand why some people could be so cruel, given that they were their own flesh and blood.
"I can't bear it." Shen Ling's smile vanished, and the gentleness in her eyes instantly turned icy cold.
"If one day you also see your own child looking at you with unfamiliar eyes, treating you as an outsider along with others, and even in the end, doing something to you..." Shen Ling's voice grew colder and colder, and when she looked up, the resentment on her face seemed to darken everything around her!
Chen Ying had never seen such a terrifying gaze before, and for a moment she was somewhat stunned. It wasn't that she had never seen such ferocity before, but rather such venomous resentment.
What kind of hatred could have such an infectious power?
Chen Ying didn't know what to say for a moment, but the resentment she felt at the beginning was gone. Everyone's experience is different. Perhaps in her eyes, she was too cruel to her descendants, but she knew nothing about why they became like this or what they had gone through.
There's a saying Chen Qing said that she actually agrees with, "Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering."
"Don't think Chen Qing is any different from me. In the beginning, everyone came here the same way." Shen Ling looked at Chen Ying with a cold smile, "But as long as they are outsiders, the result is the same. They will all become like me. Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. We have understood this principle for many years!"
"My lord is different from you." Chen Ying's face immediately turned cold. She could say whatever she wanted, but she couldn't allow anyone to slander Chen Qing.
In this terrible world, a man who can create such a warm home is far superior to the monster before us!
"The same," Shen Ling said slowly, "I've seen it with my own eyes. He's no different from us; he might even be more ruthless!"
"I don't believe it!" Chen Ying gritted her teeth.
"Suit yourself," Shen Ling said lazily. "I've seen plenty of people like you. You seem incredibly loyal, but once the external crisis subsides, you start to doubt the person who was once good to you. You start to isolate them and look at them with strange eyes. Anyone would go crazy under such gazes, without exception!"
"Shut up!" A flash of lightning appeared in Chen Ying's eyes, and a dragon's roar soared into the sky. Countless plants and trees seemed to appear out of thin air, and the area was transformed into a primeval forest in an instant.
Then, in the next instant, a raging inferno descended. With the help of this abundant life force, the flames burned extremely fast, and the power of the Blazing Yang Grand Formation also became incredibly turbulent, giving the impression that it was about to devour the heavens and the earth!
"You're quite good at using it!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Ling's eyes. The Azure Dragon's magic master is Azure Lightning and Azure Wood. The Spirit of Azure Wood assists the Water and Earth spirits, and is generally used to amplify power. She had seen many players do this before. The Azure Dragon Sorcerer's routine operation is to use the Spirit of Azure Wood to condense high-quality water vapor, and then draw Azure Lightning down, and so on.
Few people would have thought of using fire!
Yes, a high-quality Spirit of Azure Wood will naturally enhance the flames, and its explosive power is even more rapid than Azure Lightning. However, Azure Dragon Sorcerer are not good at controlling fire, so such a combination is rare. But the woman in front of us is not only an Azure Dragon Sorcerer but also a very skilled array master.
Unfortunately, when it comes to formations, no one in this world can beat him, not even those monsters!
Amidst the raging flames, Shen Ling strolled leisurely, as if walking in her own backyard.
In that instant, all the students on the periphery were stunned. They could see clearly that the woman was not resisting the Blazing Yang Grand Formation with some kind of power, but rather she had skillfully dodged it.
To say her skills weren't exceptional, certainly not as fast as Murong Yunji's to the point of being invisible, she still managed to dodge such dense flames so naturally.
Many people didn't understand why this was happening, but at least three people understood what was going on.
Chen Ying, Shen Yuan, and the youngest, Yun Ke'er, all saw it clearly.
But it's precisely because we see it clearly that we're even more shocked!
This woman completely figured out the movement of the flames—no, it should be said, she completely figured out the movement of the entire formation!
