Chapter 239: Chapter 240: Mysterious Barrier

After a long while, the three of them stopped on a patch of flat ground.

It wasn’t large, only a few dozen meters across, and was situated on the edge of a cliff.

Below was a massive, bottomless abyss.

Upon arriving, the trio paid this no mind. Their gazes were fixed on the other side of the chasm.

Across from them was a mountain peak that had been sheared in half. Atop it stood a giant hall, like an ancient divine temple, radiating a brilliant divine light in all directions.

The palace faced them directly. Even from a distance, they could see the four large words on the high plaque: "Giant Spirit Divine Hall." An immense pressure emanated from it, feeling like a great mountain pressing down on their shoulders.

The Giant Spirit Divine Hall!

’Could there be True Blood inside?’

’With the Giant Spirit True Blood, I could practice the Giant Spirit Dao Skill, obtain the Giant Spirit Battle Body, and my combat power would soar!’

A flicker of urgency crossed Ye Wushuang’s eyes. He turned to the two women beside him and called out, "Let’s go take a look!"

Although the abyss separated them by a distance of about a hundred meters, a long rainbow bridge stretched across, leading straight to the palace gates.

Stepping onto the rainbow bridge, the three felt as if they were walking on clouds, looking down at the beautiful scenery below.

The two women were bathed in the rosy light. One wore a purple dress, the other a pale-yellow gown. Their clothes fluttered as if dancing, making them look like Rainbow Fairies descended from the Nine Heavens—a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

Ye Wushuang caught a glimpse of them and was momentarily stunned.

Yang Qing’er was already pure and pretty, but after her first intimate experience, a hint of seductive charm now graced her features, enough to make one’s heart skip a beat.

Tang Yunxuan, in contrast, was noble and elegant—a peony among flowers, a peerless beauty among women. After her time with Ye Wushuang, she now carried the distinct allure of a young wife.

She seemed to sense his gaze and glanced back at him, a trace of resentment in her eyes as she gritted her teeth.

’This man... he’s too domineering. He doesn’t have a shred of gentleness. He "tormented" me so much I could barely get up.’

’If Yang Qing’er hadn’t been there to share the burden, I probably would have died!’

’What am I thinking?’

’He stole my innocence! He’s my enemy! I must kill him!’

Tang Yunxuan swore this to herself, burying everything deep in her heart. She ignored him and fell silent.

The hundred-meter distance would normally have taken only a few minutes to cross, but the two women wanted to admire the rare scenery, and Ye Wushuang obliged them.

After about ten minutes, the three of them finally arrived in front of the Giant Spirit Divine Hall.

Of course, they weren’t the only ones. Many others had also arrived from different directions.

Among them were many of Ye Wushuang’s old acquaintances.

Yuh Tian of the Feather Race!

Chi Tian of the Demon Abyss!

In addition, there were disciples from other factions and some Loose Cultivators. And, of course, that strange young man in black robes was also here. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

He had retracted his aura and was hiding among the Loose Cultivators, looking no different from an ordinary person.

However, Ye Wushuang had seen what he was capable of. The man could control the corpse of a Yin Yang Realm Flood Dragon. He was strange and terrifying.

"Ye Wushuang!"

Upon seeing the three of them arrive together, the gazes of Yuh Ling and the others shifted from the Giant Spirit Divine Hall to them, revealing their killing intent.

’Perfect timing. Now that Dii Qingxue, Pann Wu, and the others aren’t here, no one can help you. Let’s see you escape death this time!’

Yuh Ling’s eyes were locked onto Ye Wushuang, the True Essence fluctuations from his body growing steadily stronger.

Yuh Ling wasn’t the only one with this idea. Chi Tian was thinking the same thing. He had coveted the treasures on Ye Wushuang for a long time.

They had already taken a step forward, preparing to make their move.

"Big Fella, looks like someone wants to make a move on the Lord Priest. We should give them a proper greeting."

But a sudden voice made them freeze.

That voice was all too familiar.

They would never forget it. Each one of them clenched their fists so hard their knuckles cracked, itching for a fight.

’It’s that damn cat!’

’It’s here again. That beast has plundered so much Spirit Medicine. It’s going to get itself killed for sure.’

Everyone turned to look. The ethereally beautiful Dii Qingxue was walking at the forefront, with Pann Wu following behind. On Pann Wu’s shoulder, a fat cat was lounging lazily.

’It’s gotten fatter again!’

This was everyone’s first impression.

"Damn it all, I’m the center of attention wherever I go. Has Lord Cat gotten even more handsome?" the Dragon Cat muttered lazily.

Although it was a mutter, he said it so loudly it was as if he was afraid no one would hear him.

The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched. ’More handsome? That beast isn’t just shameless, it’s also incredibly narcissistic!’

"Senior Sister!"

"Lord Priest!"

As the trio looked over, Dii Qingxue and Pann Wu walked up to them.

"You’re here too!"

Ye Wushuang offered a faint smile.

The Dragon Cat replied smugly, "GAGA! Where there’s treasure, there’s Lord Cat!"

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang stared at the Dragon Cat. His eyes narrowed, and a strange smile played at the corners. This creature was ridiculously arrogant, yet it somehow never managed to get itself killed.

’It explores secret realms and ancient ruins like it’s taking a stroll in its own backyard.’

’It seems it’s gotten its paws on quite a few treasures. I can’t let this little guy waste them!’

Ye Wushuang made a quick mental calculation. He had to find a time to properly fleece the cat.

"Senior Sister Dii!"

Ye Wushuang turned to Dii Qingxue. Beneath her breathtakingly peerless face, her expression was as cold as ever.

Dii Qingxue glanced at the other two women, her elegant brows furrowing slightly. She then looked back at Ye Wushuang, a trace of simmering anger deep in her eyes.

"Hmph!"

She snorted softly and turned toward the Giant Spirit Divine Hall, clearly displeased, which left Ye Wushuang completely baffled.

’That woman’s reaction... it’s as if I did something to wrong her!’

Ye Wushuang grumbled to himself.

He didn’t notice that to his right, Yang Qing’er had trembled at Dii Qingxue’s cold snort. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Dii Qingxue.

Her eyes flashed with intense worry.

BOOM!

Dii Qingxue stared for a moment, then with a flick of her finger, a beam of white light shot from her jade-like fingertips. It crazily devoured the surrounding Spiritual Qi, swelling into a pillar of light that blasted toward the Giant Spirit Divine Hall.

BUZZ!

Just as it was about to reach the Giant Spirit Divine Hall, a barrier of light abruptly appeared, blocking the white pillar.

The light barrier was a pale gold color. It rippled like golden water—a thin layer that nonetheless possessed terrifying defensive power.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to block Dii Qingxue’s attack.

"This is a barrier. If we strike it, we should be able to enter," Dii Qingxue said to Ye Wushuang after she was done.

Before Ye Wushuang could do anything, Yuh Ling, who was in the crowd, couldn’t resist making a move.

An arrow shot out, a brilliant beam of light striking the shimmering membrane.

However, it was strangely absorbed without causing so much as a ripple.

Ye Wushuang, who had been about to act, narrowed his eyes at this. The attack was clearly ineffective.

"Pann Wu, what’s going on?"

Ye Wushuang looked up and asked. This was the Giant Spirit Divine Hall, which was related to the Giant Spirit Clan. Perhaps Pann Wu would have a way in?

But Pann Wu also looked lost. He reached out with both palms and tried to grab the light barrier.

The barrier floated like a membrane. He pulled at it with both hands, but it didn’t change in the slightest.

Everyone had witnessed Pann Wu’s terrifying strength. If even he couldn’t break the barrier, just how powerful was its defense?

’How strange!’

Everyone frowned. They desperately wanted to enter the Giant Spirit Divine Hall but were completely helpless.

BOOM!

Unwilling to give up, the crowd launched a series of attacks, but all were absorbed.

Just as everyone was feeling helpless, Ye Wushuang seemed to notice something. His eyes lit up as he stepped forward and said, "Let me give it a try!"
