Chapter 1385: Chapter 625: Future Zheng Fa, The Final Gamble (Part 2)
Old Man Bai’s face changed drastically.
Tang Lingwu was even more shocked, her small face pale. She couldn’t help but step forward, her hand slightly reaching out, as if trying to salvage something.
But "Zheng Fa" paid her no mind whatsoever. He seemed to regard everything in the world as mere trifles, only turning back to look at Maitreya, extending a finger while saying:
"This is the Daluo Chapter of the Yellow Court Scripture."
Qingnv was startled, exclaiming: "Is he at the Daluo Rank?"
Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu were also stunned.
No wonder the aura from this person was so strong, even a mere shadow made it hard for them to breathe.
But what shocked Old Man Bai and the others even more was that this Daluo Zheng Fa was just too peculiar.
One must know Zheng Fa’s temperament was very mild, especially towards Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu, he had always been close.
He never looked at Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu in such a way.
This could only mean one thing—the future Zheng Fa was in trouble!
The few of them looked at Maitreya with closed eyes, deep in comprehension, feeling anxious but at a loss.
"Send a message to the Immortal Court! Ask for countermeasures!"
Old Man Bai and the others were anxious, but Qingnv was the one who reacted first and came up with a solution.
"Oh, right, right!"
Old Man Bai hurriedly took out the Comprehensive Records and sent a message to the Nine Mountains Immortal Court, his face changing immediately after.
Qingnv knew it was bad: "What happened?"
"Zheng Fa has gone into seclusion, it seems... it seems he is advancing." Old Man Bai’s lips trembled, "The Immortal Court is now on high alert, Zhang Taishang and others do not dare to act rashly."
Qingnv bit her lip, knowing that the situation in the Immortal Court was not much better than in the West Continent—after all, the Immortal Court had a large number of foreign Golden Immortals.
Now Zheng Fa is in seclusion, although he left the Heavenly Emperor Body and Sword Dao Body to guard, the internal strength is still lacking.
More importantly, if something goes wrong with Zheng Fa’s seclusion, the Immortal Court will truly be in danger.
The group exchanged glances, then looked at the Daluo Zheng Fa under the Dragon Flower Tree, momentarily at a standstill.
If it only concerned Maitreya, it would be manageable.
The problem is, now even Zheng Fa’s main body seems to be affected by this Daluo Zheng Fa!
Just as everyone was at a loss, Qingnv’s expression suddenly changed slightly, looking outside the Seven Stars Valley.
"Paradise!"
Old Man Bai was startled, seeing a figure appearing in the southern sky.
Paradise Heavenly Girl!
They had thought Paradise Heavenly Girl was still recovering, but she unexpectedly returned!
Her timing was perfect, originally the Great Leiyin Temple had two Golden Immortals, but now Maitreya is advancing, unable to protect himself for a short time.
Now that Paradise Heavenly Girl is attacking, only Qingnv in the valley can stop her.
Paradise Heavenly Girl’s gaze swept over Qingnv and then towards the advancing Maitreya, eyes filled with dread.
She lightly lifted her foot, stepping through the void, flying towards Maitreya.
Qingnv moved slightly, blocking Paradise’s path, her gaze sharp: "What do you intend to do?"
Paradise Heavenly Girl smiled sweetly, and suddenly the Seven Stars Valley was in full bloom, the scent of flowers intoxicating.
Qingnv’s face grew colder, a treasure light flickered in her hand, revealing an ancient zither.
Her jade hand swept over the strings, cold frost swept through the valley, in an instant, the valley was covered in white, the air filled only with the biting cold wind, clearing one’s mind.
The atmosphere between Qingnv and Paradise Heavenly Girl also grew cold.
The two stared at each other, their gazes complex.
Paradise Heavenly Girl’s face showed a hint of sorrow, her tone delicate: "Is Lady Qingnv really willing to fight me for an outsider?"
Qingnv lowered her eyes, seemingly hesitant.
She could see that Paradise’s current state was not good, her cultivation had declined since the purification of Paradise Fragrance.
This wasn’t so bad; the problem was, Paradise had been struck by Liuli Buddha before, and her injuries hadn’t healed.
Now she stood in the icy landscape, like a lone plum blossom, evoking pity.
Seeing her silence, Paradise continued: "The flowers have always been grateful to Lady Qingnv, always remembered in our hearts, and any offense was just a struggle on the path. I have never shown any disrespect to Lady Qingnv."
"If Maitreya succeeds in his Dao, then I will surely perish."
Saying this, Paradise Heavenly Girl’s eyes became even more mournful: "Would Lady Qingnv truly be willing?"
Looking at Paradise Heavenly Girl’s familiar face, Qingnv couldn’t help but waver. She was quite familiar with Paradise Heavenly Girl and although her feelings weren’t as deep as with Water Mother Taiyin, she had always regarded her as family.
Moreover, Maitreya’s ascent this time was indeed strange.
If stopping it may not be a...
Paradise seeing Qingnv’s hesitation, smiled slightly, slowly moving forward, intending to bypass Qingnv.
Qingnv indeed hesitated for a moment, making no move.
At this moment, Tang Lingwu drew the Qingjing Bamboo, blocking in front of Maitreya, scattering towards Qingnv.
Qingnv’s expression changed slightly, the zither horizontally blocking Paradise Heavenly Girl’s path, her expression frigid:
"I underestimated you." Qingnv’s words seemed to spill from between her teeth, "You dared to use my feelings for the Turquoise Pool and you."
Paradise Heavenly Girl glanced at Tang Lingwu, her gaze like a knife.
Tang Lingwu couldn’t help but pale slightly but didn’t retreat a step, blocking Maitreya.
She didn’t know whether this pathway of Maitreya was good or bad, but she was very clear in her heart that Paradise Heavenly Girl was definitely no friend!
More importantly, Zheng Fa was now in seclusion as well, she wouldn’t allow anyone to interfere.
"Does Lady Qingnv think I’m deceiving you?" Paradise Heavenly Girl sighed, as if a bit regretful, "Actually, it’s my regard for our bond as fellow disciples, unwilling to clash with you."
"Then try it!"
Having nearly fallen for it before, Qingnv was now both ashamed and angry, unwilling to say much more to Paradise Heavenly Girl; she pressed on the zither strings again.
Snowflakes danced in the sky, forming an ice wall, blocking in front of Tang Lingwu and the others, also isolating Maitreya to prevent him from being disrupted by the aftermath of the clash.
Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu stood behind the ice wall, not daring to move.
They knew their cultivation was low, requiring Qingnv’s careful protection, and naturally didn’t want to trouble her now, only anxiously watching the battle between the two Golden Immortals of the Turquoise Pool.
The two exchanged blows, but it was hard to tell who was stronger.
Though Qingnv was a veteran Golden Immortal, she no longer had followers, her strength greatly diminished.
Paradise Heavenly Girl had nearly unified the West Continent before, her strength greatly increased, but she was injured, and her current state wasn’t perfect.
Old Man Bai felt slightly at ease, as long as Qingnv could hold off Paradise Heavenly Girl, the problem wouldn’t be too big—dragging it out would benefit Maitreya.
But Paradise Heavenly Girl knew this too; this was her last gamble, and she became increasingly frenzied. While Qingnv had to consider Maitreya and the others, she didn’t have Paradise’s desperate energy, only able to defend for the moment.
Qingnv was becoming more and more strained.
Meanwhile, the momentum from Maitreya was also growing stronger, nearly breaking through the Golden Immortal barrier.
Qingnv had a feeling that Maitreya’s current momentum was even stronger than Water Mother!
One must know, Water Mother was a Half-step Daluo!
She was instantly overjoyed, though she still had some doubts about that Daluo Zheng Fa, but with Maitreya proving the Future Buddha, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court would completely overshadow other forces and unite Xuanwei.
In contrast, Paradise Heavenly Girl’s expression had begun to turn from despair to madness.
She was also preparing to assault Taiyi, of course, knew Maitreya’s current situation; proving the Future Buddha, who could say for sure, perhaps Maitreya would take ten or eight more years, or perhaps the next moment!
If Maitreya proved the Future Buddha, her ambitions, even her life, would turn to nothing!
She couldn’t afford to gamble!
Paradise Heavenly Girl finally stopped conserving herself, with immortal power blazing like flames around her.
Qingnv’s heart skipped a beat, her hand quickly brushed the zither strings, striking at Paradise Heavenly Girl.
Unexpectedly, Paradise Heavenly Girl didn’t dodge, just charged towards the ice wall, smashing it with a palm.
The frosty air from the zither struck her back, causing her movement to halt, adding injury to injury, yet she seemed to feel nothing, flicking her right index finger, causing various flowers to materialize from the void, attacking Maitreya.
Qingnv flew forward, but there was someone faster and more resolute—
Tang Lingwu, holding the Qingjing Bamboo, stood in front of Maitreya, blocking Paradise Heavenly Girl’s path with her Independent Immortal body.
Behind her, the aura around Maitreya suddenly began to fluctuate, seemingly waking from his advancement!
