Chapter 158: Recognizes Blood, but not the Owner’s

The corner of Zhu Yao’s lips twitched . Rather than witnessing one, you were struck by one, right!

“That’s true . ” That disciple immediately flattered a few words . “Among us disciples, only senior martial brother have personally gone to Lightning Divine Hall . ”

“Mn . ” Miao Lin nodded complacently, and then with a complacent expression, he said . “I really wish I can once again witness Lightning Divine Hall’s arts . ”

Zhu Yao: “…” Are you a masochist?

“I have already said this before, no lightning techniques are allowed to be executed in Advent Cloud Hall . Seeing that this junior martial sister has just entered the sect not too long ago, and has already suffered her punishment, I will leave this matter to rest . Disperse . ”

“Yes, senior martial brother . ” The two followers expressed their thanks together, however, they then looked at Tao Manfeng, who was lying in the pool of water, with difficult expressions .

Miao Lin frowned . After casting an art, the water on the ground once again condensed into a water dragon, and flew up . Only then did the two followers lift Tao Manfeng up and leave .

Pulling along the mushroom, Zhu Yao was just about to flee as well .

However, she heard Miao Lin’s suddenly shouting out . “Stop . ”

In a flash, his figure had already blocked in front of Zhu Yao’s path . “This junior martial sister, have we met somewhere before?”

I’m doomed!

In front of her, Miao Lin had already reached out his hand . “Why are you constantly lowering your head?”

Out of desperateness, Zhu Yao retracted all of the divine energy in her body, and poof, she returned to her original form .

A piece of snow-white jade instantly landed on Miao Lin’s palm, which he was unable to retract in time .

“Why did you return to your original form?”

“Senior martial brother… I’m your aficionado . ”

“Aficionado? What’s that?” Miao Lin blanked .

“Aficionado . It means that I really like, and really worship you . ” Zhu Yao immediately activated her bluffing mode . “This disciple has long heard of senior martial brother’s mighty name . Now that I finally managed to see the person himself, I got a little excited, and returned to my original form . ”

Miao Lin was filled with smiles . As expected, he dropped his suspicions, and flipped the jade in his hand about . “You sure have good eyes . Cultivate well . In the future, you will have the same level of achievements as me . ”

Zhu Yao tried her best to express her own excitement . “Thank you senior martial brother . I will definitely work hard . ”

“Mn . ” Miao Lin passed the jade over to the mushroom at the side, and instructed . “There’s no need for the both of you to be afraid . Our Advent Cloud Hall isn’t a place without rules . If junior martial sister Tao comes to trouble you again, you can look for me . ”

“Really, senior martial brother?”

“Of course . ” Miao Lin nodded . Most probably because this was the first time he had a fan, the expression he was looking at the mushroom with had become gentler as well . “If you have any concerns, just look for me . ”

“Yes, senior martial brother . Thank you, senior martial brother . ”

“Mn . Go on then . ”

Zhu Yao never expected that she could actually pass this off so easily, and she immediately urged the mushroom to bring her back . It seemed like she could not continue to stay in Advent Cloud Hall for long . There would come a day that someone could recognize her . She had already found her clue anyway, so right now, she just had to find the opportunity to rush over to Fluorescent Wind Sect as soon as possible .

The two of them traveled in an urgent manner, and the moment they returned to the lodging, they closed the door . Only then did Zhu Yao heave a sigh of relief . She habitually circulated her divine energy so that she could return to her human form, only to realize that her body was completely empty . A hint of pain came from her Dantian, and she could not transform at all .

“The hell . What’s going on?” Zhu Yao’s jade-body instantly felt uncomfortable . “Master, I can’t return to my human form . ”

“No need to worry . Earlier, when you forcefully returned to your original form, your withdrawal of divine energy was too rapid, which caused some damage to your Dantian . ” Yu Yan gently said . “You simply have to stop circulating your divine energy temporarily, and it will be restored in a few days . ”

“That gave me a fright . That’s good, that’s good . ” So it was because she withdrew her divine energy too quickly, causing her to have a stitch .

“Rock spirit, who are you speaking to?” The mushroom curiously lowered his head .

“Uh…” She had forgotten that the mushroom was still here .

His familiar face suddenly closed in, and Zhu Yao simply felt a shiver in the depths of her heart, as a strange feeling surged . As she thought, she was still unable to get used to Mushmush’s human form, especially this little-wimp look-alike face of his .

“Nothing much . I was muttering to myself . ” Zhu Yao chuckled .

“Oh . ” The mushroom glanced at her and furrowed his brows, as though he wanted to ask something . After opening and closing his mouth a few times, he still changed the topic in the end . “You’re not going to revert to your human form?”

“Mn . ” She however, did not conceal this matter from him . “I transformed a little too quickly earlier, so I can only restore my human form after a few days . ”

“Oh, then have a nice rest . I’m going to head back first . ” The mushroom gave her a few words, before returning to his own cave residence . However, before he left, his expression was a little heavy, as he turned around to give her a few glances .

Did rock spirit have a master? Master… In the depths of his initially pure-white heart, an indescribable emotion suddenly surfaced . Why did he feel that this word sounded a little familiar?

Zhu Yao planned to head over to Fluorescent Wind Sect when she regained her human form . Currently, as a piece of jade which did not have any movement ability, the only thing she could do was – sleep . However, she never expected that there would actually be someone assaulting her at night .

That person suddenly appeared in her house . There wasn’t any ripples produced from divine arts, and furthermore, the door and windows were nicely shut . In a blink of an eye, the lodging simply gained an additional human figure . His figure was especially tall, and she could faintly see that he was a male practitioner . Even though the moonlight was especially bright within the house, she still couldn’t clearly see that person’s appearance .

Just as Zhu Yao was about to speak, she was interrupted by Yu Yan .

“Yu Yao!” Carrying an anxious tone, her master’s voice resounded in her mind . “This person is the individual who infiltrated Lightning Divine Hall . ”

Zhu Yao blanked, and was thrown into elation a moment later . She hurriedly transmitted her voice . “Then does that mean that as long we capture him, master can leave this dimensional space?” Various age-restricted bondage methods began to fill her mind .

“Yu Yao . ” Yu Yan’s voice was solemn . “This person’s cultivation level is higher than mine . ”

“Uh…” Then how the hell was she going to play this? Fortunately, she did not speak out earlier, otherwise, she would have been the one trapped . “Then what do we do?”

“Do not make any noise . Wait and see . ”

Zhu Yao withdrew from her inner view, and quietly continued to act like a piece of jade . The room was strangely quiet, and even the cicadas outside the window had stopped singing .

It was unknown for what purpose this person came here for either, as ever since his appearance, he had been standing inside the room without moving from his position . Even Zhu Yao was about to believe that the reason why he was here, was simply because he liked the floor he was stepping on . Finally, he moved . Turning his ahead, he swept his eyes around the room, as though he was searching for something . A moment later, she sensed a divine sense sweeping over .

At this moment, Zhu Yao rejoiced that she did not have a single strand of divine energy in her body, and had returned to her true form . Without any ripples of divine energy, even if someone else’s divine sense were to sweep pass her, she would still just be a regular piece of jade . That person definitely wouldn’t be able to discov-

Ehhhhhh? Why was he coming over?

That person retracted his divine sense, and walked straight towards the table . As though he had identified her, there wasn’t even a single trace of hesitation in his footsteps . Did she have to be this unfortunate!?

In an instant, Zhu Yao felt that even her heart had popped out . What happened to the promise of being undiscovered?

A pair of cold lines of sight fell on her body . Even though he clearly did not do anything, Zhu Yao still felt a cold intent penetrating the depths of her heart, as though she was about to choke from his gaze . Just when Zhu Yao couldn’t bear it any longer and was about to speak out, he suddenly shifted his line of sight . In a flash, just as how he had appeared, his figure disappeared from the room .

What kind of situation was this?

Zhu Yao was completely lost . However, that terrifying feeling earlier still lingered in her heart . Just who the hell was that person?

A moment later, a slit of the door was suddenly pushed open by someone . A head sneakily came inspecting the room .

Little bitch!

It was actually Tao Manfeng who came to seek trouble with her during the day! Was today labelled as Nightwalk Day on the calendar? This was even a team night assault?

Tao Manfeng looked around for a moment, before she carefully pushed the door open and came in . She first quietly looked at the bed . As though she had confirmed that no one was in the room, her brows furrowed, as she searched around . Just as she was about to leave, she discovered Zhu Yao on the table, and in an instant, her eyes lighted up .

Zhu Yao suddenly had a bad premonition .

“Divine jade!” Tao Manfeng picked up the piece of jade from the table with an excited look . After inspecting its front and back, she muttered . “As I thought, it’s the same piece . ”

What was this little bitch trying to do? She couldn’t be planning to pose as her again, right?

Tao Manfeng, however, did not speak up again . Instead, she held onto Zhu Yao, and left through the door with a happy look . Her flying sword rose, and she directly flew out of Advent Cloud Hall . Just where was she bringing her to?

She seemed to be really excited, as she looked at the piece of jade while flying . The other hand of hers was even constantly stroking the surface of the jade .

She stroked her to the point Zhu Yao was feeling as though all her hair were standing on ends . After restoring her human form, she was definitely going to take a bath . The type where she was going to vigorously rub every nook and cranny of her body .

She flew for exactly an entire night, and she only landed on the ground right after arriving at a small market . She then however entered a secluded courtyard, and only after setting down several layers of concealment and isolation formations outside, did she finally enter the house .

After looking around her surroundings, she then pulled out the jade with a serious look, and began to carefully inspect it . In order to prevent herself from being exposed, Zhu Yao did not let out a sound during the entire journey . Tao Manfeng clearly recognized her true form, but seeing her worriless expression, evidently, she did not know that Zhu Yao had already cultivated a human form .

Tao Manfeng flipped the jade back and forth, and stared at it for a long while . The more she looked, the deeper her brows furrowed . She then muttered to herself . “Could it be that this piece of jade is simply used to prove one’s identity as a Lightning Divine Hall disciple?”

Zhu Yao rolled her eyes in the depths of her heart . It seemed like she still couldn’t forget about the Lightning Divine Hall, huh .

“An item of the Lightning Divine Hall definitely isn’t that simple . ” Tao Manfeng took a deep breath, and continued to inspect for a long while . First, she merely used her naked eyes to look, and then, she used her divine sense to sweep through it . Then, she even inserted a little of her divine energy .

“This is impossible . ” Seeing the completely unresponsive divine jade, her expression became a little ugly . She then tried to use various other methods, such as bathing it in the water, burn it under a fire, and plant it under a soil . Even Zhu Yao was about to praise her for her dedication and perseverance . She silently rejoiced that she was currently a piece of rock . Otherwise, if this continued, even if she wouldn’t die, a layer of her skin would have been ripped off .

Tao Manfeng continued to toss about for an entire night, and throughout the entire thing, Zhu Yao was quietly acting dead . Finally, she gritted her teeth, condensed a spiritual sword, and then sliced it across her own finger . Suddenly, a large number of fresh blood pearls were produced, merrily flowing down her finger . She raised her bleeding finger, and pressed it on Zhu Yao .

Alright, she finally found the correct method . However, she was simply too late, as Zhu Yao had already been sprayed with someone else’s blood . No matter how much she were to drip her blood on…

Ting!

Binding of Dimensional Space – Success!

The hell!

Just how much love did this dimensional space have to give? How could it be bound with just any random person with a single drop of blood, hey? This thing recognized blood, but not the owner’s . In an instant, Zhu Yao felt like she was going insane .

“Master, what do we do?” This woman wasn’t as easy to hoodwink as Dog-Egg . “We definitely mustn’t allow her to enter the dimensional space . ”

“She hasn’t come in . ” Yu Yan said with a solemn voice .
