Chapter 1101: Taking Action Personally

The Grand Elder and the Second Elder stood here, letting out a cold snort. They weren't surprised to see ripples appearing here at all.

At this moment, Elder Yue had sensed a surge of rich spiritual energy. A gleam of determination flashed in his eyes, and with a swift movement, he shot upwards, instructing Ripples:

"I'll hold them off, you go and take the jade."

"Yes!"

The ripples dodged the attack and quickly moved to the side. She only needed to seize the opportunity when both sides clashed.

The Great Elder and Second Elder's cultivation were both in the late Jindan stage, comparable to Mount Changlao of the World's First Floor. However, due to the difference in their techniques, neither side could gain an upper hand. When their magical spells clashed, ripples flashed and disappeared from sight.

Jade was protected by a natural array in the very center. Because she had been here before, the array had also been altered this time. This new array combined defense, illusion, and killing formations into one. Those who entered might not make it out alive.

The moment ripples stepped into the formation, it activated. White mist surged around them, and within the mist, ripples saw a blurry figure of a soul. Her brow furrowed.

I didn't expect Wujinbao to really go all out this time, actually activating a killing formation with a soul as its eye. To break this formation, you have to obliterate the soul serving as the eye, which isn't friendly to cultivators at all.

"Bold thief, daring to enter the forbidden area of Weng's Manor, leave your life behind!"

A roar erupted beside Ripples' ear.

Immediately, a cold wind arose, and the piercing screams of ghosts stimulated Lian's soul, preventing her from reacting immediately.

"You've done enough for the Wen family, leave the rest to me. Rest now!"

Ripples immediately took her first step, a red lotus of karma fire beneath her feet. She walked this way, one lotus flower after another, passing through this layer of formation.

As the Crimson Lotus Inferno erupted, the surrounding temperature soared while the souls tasked with maintaining the formation instinctively retreated, creating a path for the ripples to spread.

The moment he entered the second layer of the formation, countless sword lights slashed towards Ripples. Among them were attacks from five different schools of magic, determined to kill Ripples instantly.

Ripple did not retaliate, but only projected her powerful divine sense outwards in one direction. In the next instant, all attacks vanished, leaving only a pearl suspended before Ripple.

Ripple waved her hand, gathering the beads. Then she stepped into the third layer of the formation. There was only an old man here, holding a spirit sword and standing before a jade bi. His gaze was calm as he looked at Ripple and said:

"You, little one, are quite skilled. You entered so quickly. It seems the Wen family stronghold has truly fallen into decline."

His tone was filled with sadness and helplessness.

"Senior, Ripple has come to resolve this world's predicament. I must take the jade from Warm Family Fort's guardianship, please grant me your permission."

"Humph! You took the jade from our Wén family's stronghold just to please the Tianxia No.1 Tower. Why bother speaking so grandly I don't see you having the ability to solve this predicament."

The elderly man scoffed.

Ripple smiled faintly, then released a trace of divine transformation pressure, pinning the old man in place.

The old man with white hair suddenly narrowed his pupils, his mouth slightly opened but he couldn't utter a word.

"Seniors, am I qualified to take the jade now Keeping this in Wenjia Fort will only bring disaster to you. I can use it to solve the world's problems."

Of course, I wouldn't take it for nothing. I will ensure that the troubles at Wujiapo are resolved.

The old man's face could no longer be described as composed. He was only at the Nascent Soul stage, while the other party was a whole realm higher than him. This was something he couldn't possibly contend with.

"Seniors, I'm sorry to offend you!"

Liàn Yī arched her hands and beckoned the old man aside with a wave of her sleeve. Then, with a flick of her wrist, she wrapped the deadly silk around Yù Suì. Following that, she pulled forcefully on Yù Suì, and under the might of absolute power, the entire piece of spirit jade was slowly pulled out from the ground.

During the tug-of-war, the entire cave shook, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

The Ripple's divine consciousness could clearly see that the jade should have been placed here for a long time, so a spirit vein had already formed beneath it. She was now essentially forcibly severing the jade from the spirit vein.

"Miss Hua, please show mercy. If you take all the jade away, our Wen Family Fort will truly be destroyed."

The elder finally spoke up to stop him.

The ripples of the divine consciousness had just traveled around the spirit vein beneath the jade, and she knew that the ancestor of the Wen family had not lied. This was also their confidence in luring the top experts of Tianxia First Floor. They wanted to detonate the entire spirit vein and perish with all those who entered Wenjia Fort.

The ripples were ineffective; he could only retract the deadly thread. Then, from space, he drew his Lei Yao Sword.

Since seeing the sword in Lian Yi's hand, Old Master Wen had been silent. But now his eyes gleamed with a newfound spark, for he was certain that the person before him was the one to break the deadlock, the very person the Wen family fortress had been searching for all along.

The ripples only swung their sword lightly, severing the jade placed on the ground. Then, with a flick of their sleeve, they stored both the Leiyao Sword and the jade within their spatial dimension.

"Wait for my good news!"

Ripples smiled and with a flash of her figure, she disappeared from before the ancestral master of the Wen family.

At this time, the three people outside the formation all stopped, because the shaking of the cave just now made them feel that something was wrong.

The Grand Elder and the Second Elder looked at each other, both seeing determination in the other's eyes. If Yu Sui was lost, they would drag the first elder of the hall down with them.

"Elder Yue, your wish is granted!"

The ripples of his figure appeared not far from Elder Yue.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! Quickly give me the things! I will definitely report to the host and reward you handsomely, ensuring your smooth ascension."

The High Elder and the Second Elder, upon hearing this, gripped their swords tightly and were about to charge forward, but the very next moment, their movements came to a halt.

Because the ripples had already flashed to Elder Yue's side, he raised his hand and covered the other's head, beginning a rough soul search.

Elder Yue never expected he would be defeated by a mere pawn. His expression kept changing, finally settling on a painful mask, the gleam in his eyes gradually fading away.

When Lian Ri received the message she wanted, she withdrew her hand satisfied. Immediately, a spark shot out, turning Yue Lao's corpse into ashes in an instant.

The Grand Elder and Second Elder were both bewildered by this wave of ripples' operation, but the two of them still subconsciously blocked the exit.

"Miss Hua, leave the Wen family's treasure!"

"Two elders, I proposed an alliance with you, but you refused and insisted on this method of harming both sides. I cannot stand by and watch the Wen clan be exterminated, so I can only take matters into my own hands."

Don't waste my time here either. Go ask your ancestor about the rest; I won't be sticking around.

Liàn Yī said, then disappeared from before the two. As she left the underground passage, she conveniently eliminated Number One and Number Two who were trapped in the formation.

The next moment, she appeared in the sky above Wujia Fort. At this time, the entire Wujia Fort was enveloped by an array formation, obviously they didn't intend to let anyone enter Wujia Fort.and then activated their secret self-preservation techniques.At this time, Ran MiaoLan was also walking over with the disciples of Yunxian Sect:"Hello, old friend, it's nice to see you again.""Ran, Da...
