Chapter 366: Blast from the Past
"The Death Flower Ascension Front is abominable." Jiang Yue said angrily.
When he thought that he and Yu Nianzhen would have been affected if they carelessly opened the two-coloured stone, he couldn’t calm down.
More than before, he wanted to kill the enemy and eliminate them from the Cangxing world.
"They are getting ready to throw those multi-coloured lights." Wei Ge said and refocused everyone’s attention.
"Try not to resist when I take you into my sword domain." Yu Nianzhen warned.
Although his sword domain had a breath of life refined from various treasures including the Tree of Life, it was fundamentally an offense-oriented small world.
If someone attacked within the small world, the domain would turn offensive.
At that time, it would take effort to restore calm which would limit the time he could maintain the sword domain.
"If anyone has malicious intent, don’t think we won’t throw you out." Jiang Yue warned.
He was all for saving everyone they could.
However, his first priority was always his Taoist companion.
If someone dared to be disadvantageous to Yu Nianzhen, Jiang Yue would never let them go.
"Anyone who dares to attack fellow Daoist Yu will be our common enemy. I will be the first to deal with them." Meng Zihua also warned.
She knew that cultivators were inherently selfish.
If someone saw a chance, they wouldn’t hesitate to deal with Yu Nianzhen or other geniuses.
After all, killing a genius was a point of pride and a way to increase a cultivator’s reputation.
"Anyone who dares will be a common enemy." Several cultivators shouted together.
At the same time, some cultivators who had planned to do something immediately converged.
They didn’t dare to attack in the face of so many people so they suppressed their thoughts.
"It’s okay if everyone understands." Jiang Yue said but didn’t decrease his vigilance.
Soon after, everyone saw the disciples of the Death Flower Ascension Front throw the light balls at the formation and Yu Nianzhen immediately reacted.
He opened his sword domain and entered with about four hundred people.
As for the remaining two hundred, they activated their defence items and waited for impact.
Less than a breath later, the light balls hit the formation and a loud bang resounded in the surroundings.
As everyone watched, the formation cracked and an incredible pressure rushed inwards.
In the blink of an eye, what looked like streams of wind hit the cultivators who were waiting outside and continued to rush into the camp.
"Will they reach the centre of the camp?" A female cultivator asked with a terrified look on her face.
However, no one answered because they were all unsure.
No one had ever witnessed this kind of attack and it wasn’t easy to estimate its damage.
[Azhen, do you think the others are okay?] Jiang Yue asked.
Before they entered the sword domain, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue sent messages to Bing Lan, Yang Xu, and Li Futian.
They told the others about the light balls and asked them to be careful.
Unfortunately, there was no way to communicate while in the sword domain.
[They should be fine.] Yu Nianzhen said but was still worried.
He and the others were fine because they were in the sword domain.
However, none of the other three had a sword domain and he didn’t know how they would protect themselves if they were faced with the same attack.
[Master and mistress have an ancient palace. Do you think it is enough to protect them?]
[I don’t know.]
Initially, Yu Nianzhen also thought about entering his and Jiang Yue’s ancient palace.
However, he wasn’t confident since the ancient palace wasn’t a small world and was subject to the rules of the Cangxing world.
[Let’s wait it out and message them when we leave the sword domain.]
[Okay.]
With that, the two held hands and looked at the scene outside the sword domain.
At this time, the two hundred cultivators who did not enter the sword domain looked like they had been through a natural disaster.
All their defences were broken and their bodies were covered with injuries.
"They are injured but they should be fine." A male cultivator said and almost everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, you can let us out." Another said.
"As I expected, we were too cautious."
"Someone is at the top of the Cangxing list but they are so timid." A male cultivator sneered and looked at Yu Nianzhen in mockery.
At that, Jiang Yue’s eyes turned red with anger.
He wanted to rage out and attack the people who were suddenly turning on Yu Nianzhen but he kept his calm.
After all, they were still in his husband’s small world and Jiang Yue didn’t want to make trouble.
However, he remembered the person and vowed to trouble him when they left the domain.
"Fellow Daoist Yu..." Someone started but was impatiently interrupted.
"If you wish to die, die by yourself and don’t drag the rest of us." A cultivator from the Border Guard faction rebuked.
"Die? What do you mean? The attack has already passed."
"That’s right, let us out." A female cultivator shouted and looked at Yu Nianzhen menacingly.
"I knew it was a trap and didn’t want to enter. In the end, I followed everyone and now I regret it."
"Shut up." Meng Zihua shouted and a terrifying qi presence engulfed the people who were protesting.
"Fellow Daoist Meng, what do you mean by this? Don’t think we won’t defend ourselves just because you are the young leader of the BlueStar Treasures Pavilion."
"If you have time to talk nonsense, you can look outside." She said angrily and everyone turned about.
In the few moments that people were arguing, things changed outside.
"This..., what happened?" Someone asked in horror.
"Their skins have become bluish-black." Another observed.
"Are they poisoned?"
Everyone was horrified but none were more horrified than Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen.
This was because they had seen that bluish-black tinge on someone else.
[Azhen...] Jiang Yue called and Yu Nianzhen tightened his hand around him.
When they first arrived in the Cangxing world, they met old man Cang who helped them step onto the cultivation path.
At that time, they thought the old man was an origin-forging realm cultivator.
However, the more they cultivated, the more they realised that the old man’s cultivation was unfathomable.
At the same time, they realised the horror of the enemy who could fatally poison the old man.
Now, the same poison had appeared and the two were terrified.
"They are calling for help." Someone said but everyone could see that.
On the outside, the two hundred cultivators were screaming wildly and begging for help.
They looked to be in pain and their expressions were distorted to the point of inhumanity.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, quickly let them in." Someone said.
"My junior sister is outside. Quickly let her in."
"What are you talking about? What if we are also poisoned?"
"Those people should have detoxification pills and treasures. If those things are useless to help them, what can we do?"
In that way, another argument broke out.
Some cultivators wanted to save the two hundred but most others opposed the matter.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, how long can you maintain the sword domain?" Meng Zihua asked.
"Three-quarters of an hour at best." Yu Nianzhen said with a solemn look on his face.
"I will meditate to replenish my qi and sword intent. I will try to stretch the time as much as possible."
"Azhen..." Jiang Yue called with a worried look on his face.
"We don’t know how long the poison will remain in the air. Let’s stay in here for as long as we can." Yu Nianzhen said and rubbed Jiang Yue’s hair.
"Don’t worry, I will be fine."
"Okay. Don’t worry about safety, I will protect you."
"I will also come." Xuan Ke said and moved towards the two.
"Alright." Yu Nianzhen said and sat cross-legged.
As he meditated, Jiang Yue didn’t leave a step but he still kept an eye on the outside.
"This poison is too cruel." Jiang Yue muttered and clenched his hands when he remembered old man Cang.
In those days, the old man never had a pained face but looking at the two hundred people, Jiang Yue knew the poisoning was not painless.
The old man must have been in a lot of pain but he kept a straight face and never let them worry.
’Old man Cang, Azhen and I haven’t forgotten you. We still remember our promise and will avenge you when we have a chance. For now, watch how we slaughter Siwang’s Death Flower Ascension Front.’ Jiang Yue thought and his eyes hardened in determination.
"Brother Jiang, is something wrong?" Xuan Ke asked when he saw Jiang Yue’s unnatural expression.
"Many years ago, Azhen and I came across this kind of poisoning." Jiang Yue said and several people turned to look at him.
