Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1251: Scared the Hell Out of Me

"All of you, shut up, you’re annoying me to death!" The Little Auspicious Beast climbed out of her pocket, waving its tiny claws and roaring angrily. Its voice was crisp but slightly unclear, much like a child who had just learned to speak not long ago.

This little creature actually learned to speak; Mu Hanyan was thrilled yet anxious. However, looking at the current situation, she didn’t find much reason to be happy.

Learning to speak indicated that Gong Hongru’s painstaking efforts were not in vain. The Little Auspicious Beast had entered its Growth Stage from infancy, and its strength should have significantly increased. However, in the face of the current crisis, it was still useless. Mu Hanyan didn’t believe that a beast just entering its Growth Stage could contend with thousands of Netherworld Beasts.

The little guy waving its claws angrily was quite comical. Unfortunately, those Netherworld Beasts didn’t give it a second glance, continuing their skyward howls.

"Stop making noise, you’re annoying me to death!" The Little Auspicious Beast was angry, waving its tiny claws and letting out an angry roar, but its roar was quickly drowned out by the howls of the horde.

"Still dare to make noise? Still dare to make noise? I’ll fight you all." Unable to bear it any longer, the Little Auspicious Beast looked ready to explode.

Mu Hanyan’s heart tightened, afraid it would recklessly rush forward to fight to the death. With its chubby body, charging in would only be enough to fill the cracks between others’ teeth.

Lady Mu’s worry was clearly unnecessary. After shouting, the Little Auspicious Beast didn’t charge forward but instead produced two pieces of cloth from somewhere, stuffed them into its ears, then tilted and fell back into Mu Hanyan’s pocket, where it started snoring like thunder.

Not just Mu Hanyan, even Jiang Yunhe and others, who were chanting spells and performing hand gestures, nearly fell over. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

With Jiang Yunhe and the others’ eye power, it wasn’t hard to see that this Little Auspicious Beast was extraordinary. Hearing its exasperated high-pitched "I’ll fight you all," they thought this creature would unleash some incredible innate ability. Who knew this little thing would block its ears and fall asleep?

Mu Hanyan’s face turned a bit red. Having such a Sword Pet made even her, the master, feel embarrassed.

No one paid attention to the purely comical little guy anymore. Jiang Yunhe and the others continued chanting spells, while Nangong Jingyuan and others gripped their sword hilts, preparing for an all-out final battle.

Time slowly passed by, and the atmosphere remained so heavy. But the Netherworld Beasts did not attack, maintaining their skyward howling position.

"Hmm, what’s going on?" Mu Hanyan noticed something wasn’t right.

Suddenly, a Netherworld Beast stumbled and fell to the ground, snoring loudly. Soon, the surrounding Netherworld Beasts began collapsing one after another. In no time, thousands of Netherworld Beasts were on the ground, surrounded by thunderous snores.

Deep Sleep Barrier! Mu Hanyan was overjoyed; this was precisely the Little Auspicious Beast’s innate ability, the Deep Sleep Barrier. Though she knew the little creature possessed this ability, she never dreamed that after entering its Growth Stage, this ability would become so powerful that it could make thousands of Netherworld Beasts fall asleep simultaneously.

Beams of light flashed, and the sleeping Netherworld Beasts vanished into thin air as if they had never appeared.

"Hahaha, they haven’t fully opened the Gate of Netherworld. These Netherworld Beasts can’t stay on the Holy Court Continent for long. Scared me to death, scared me to death." Taowu was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, pounding its belly with its paw, wearing an expression of post-catastrophe relief and joy.

Jiang Yunhe’s elders’ faces turned pale. The Netherworld Beasts they painstakingly summoned were so effortlessly sent back to Jiuyou Netherworld by a little Exotic Beast. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they’d hardly dare believe such an outcome.

"Jiang Yunhe, stop. Considering your Divine Servant Clan’s intentions for the safety and people of the continent, I’ll let you leave. Let’s pretend today’s events never happened," said Nangong Jingyuan.

"No, you can’t save the Holy Court Continent. Only our Divine Servant Clan can save the continent," Jiang Yunhe shouted fiercely.

After exchanging glances with the elders beside him, they began chanting loudly again.

"Boom" – several blood mists enveloped them, burning like flames. Their faces turned pale, and their hair turned into falling silver threads, as if aged by decades.

Blood Sacrifice Technique! Jiang Yunhe and the others sacrificed their lifespan to perform the Blood Sacrifice Technique.

In an instant, their aura continuously surged. Each hand formation emitted a golden rune, and their chanting ascended to the heavens.

"Not good!" Nangong Jingyuan and Gong Hongru’s faces changed drastically. They cared no longer for their centuries-long camaraderie nor the Divine Servant Clan’s identity, and they attacked simultaneously.

Several massive dark red figures suddenly appeared, blocking Jiang Yunhe and the others. Gong Hongru and others didn’t hesitate to cut out with a Sword Slash.

In the huge explosive sound, the strongest experts from Holy Dragon Academy were simultaneously forced back a few steps, while those dark red figures revealed their true forms.

"Netherworld Prison Lords, they’re Netherworld Prison Lords!" Taowu’s voice trembled with fear.

Though Mu Hanyan did not know what Netherworld Prison Lords were, she could see that these several cubits tall, frightening, armored and flaming Netherworld Beasts were far superior to the previous ones, at least several, if not dozens or hundreds, of times stronger.

Mu Hanyan instinctively grabbed the Little Auspicious Beast.

"Too noisy. Don’t make noise, I want to sleep... snore... snore..." The Little Auspicious Beast muttered sleepily, then snored sweetly again.

Mu Hanyan could only helplessly put it back. The earlier Deep Sleep Barrier had clearly drained the Little Auspicious Beast’s Primordial Energy. Even if she forced it awake, it would likely be of no help.

Gong Hongru and Nangong Jingyuan flew up again with a Sword Slash. Thunder boomed in the sky, and the overwhelming power of the Sword Saint Realm was terrifying. Even towering peaks might not withstand the power of their swords.

With a few loud explosions, the Netherworld Prison Lords that Taowu spoke of merely stepped back slightly before regaining their stance, roaring to the heavens.

This time, Gong Hongru and others gave it their all, yet only left foot-deep scars on their towering forms. For the Netherworld Prison Lords, towering several cubits tall, such injuries were far from fatal.

Jiang Yunhe and others continued chanting spells. A beast-shaped shadow gradually appeared in mid-air, clearly the real target of their Blood Sacrifice Technique, for which sacrificing their lifespan was not in vain. The few Netherworld Prison Lords were just stepping stones.

Nangong Jingyuan and Gong Hongru’s expressions became grave. With their power, given a little more time, they could easily kill these few Netherworld Prison Lords, but how strong the not-yet-revealed Netherworld Beast would be, they couldn’t determine.
