Chapter 849: 849 This place is Shenzhou, no trespassing! [1 more update]
Huo Yunyi raised his eyebrows slightly, merely lifting his hand.
"Crash!"
The door flying towards them shattered into pieces midway, scattering to the ground.
Lin Huaijin sat in his place, still shaken, but found that not even a dish was disturbed.
"Uninvited guests are certainly foes, not friends." Xiang Shaoyu slowly stood up, his tone icy, yet his demeanor relaxed. "Uncle Lin, please wait a moment."
"Ah? Oh oh..." Lin Huaijin was still confused.
Then, as the dust settled, two towering figures gradually appeared in his view.
The two guards were clad in silver armor, holding a long spear in hand, their eyes coldly fixed on Lin Huaijin.
Xiang Shaoyu’s gaze landed on the spear, raising an eyebrow towards Huo Yunyi: "Your specialty, can you handle it alone?"
"More than enough." Huo Yunyi picked up the spear placed beside him, "I’ve not halted my training during this period."
He wasn’t someone who talked much, nor did he greet them. He didn’t wait for the two guards to make a move, directly striking first.
Of all the spear techniques in the world, the Divine Strategy Spear Technique is undoubtedly the best.
This martial art embodies the thousand-year-old wisdom of the People of Shenzhou.
The two guards were both shocked and furious, astonished that there was a strong protector by Lin Huaijin’s side, and enraged by Huo Yunyi’s audacity.
"Ignorant human!" yelled one guard, "Without even a hint of Divine Bloodline, yet daring to challenge us—"
His words were cut short, for he suddenly realized that upon stepping into the Lin Family’s door, his connection with water had been completely severed.
He couldn’t sense the presence of any water source!
This was simply an incredible thing.
Water, the source of life itself, without which no living being could survive.
What was going on?!
Moreover, due to the restriction, if their connection with water was lost, their strength would drastically diminish.
Just as the two guards were thrown into panic, Huo Yunyi’s attack arrived.
"Boom!"
A very straightforward and brutal spear strike, like thunder descending, crushing with immense weight!
The two guards hurriedly parried but found themselves pressed to the ground by the force of that spear.
"Thud, thud..."
Their knees slammed down, causing the ground to dent.
What tremendous power!
The two guards found it hard to believe.
They had the intelligence from the Five Great Families, but when did the Huo Family’s Divine Strategy Spear Technique become this powerful?
Indeed, their strength was severely diminished, yet it was still not something the current People of Shenzhou should be able to counter!
Huo Yunyi said nothing, flicking his wrist.
"Slash—"
Another spear strike!
This strike pierced through the right shoulders of the two guards, pinning them to the ground.
Blood flowed, and screams echoed.
Even a slight struggle brought excruciating pain, their eyes wide with fear, seeing only the eight large black letters on Xiang Shaoyu’s white fan—
This is Shenzhou, prohibited entry!
"Did you think Miss Ye wouldn’t have thought of what you can?" Xiang Shaoyu closed his fan, tapping the guard’s face with the fan’s handle, half-smiling, "Thinking you’re the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware you’re already caught in the urn."
Ye Wanlan had already anticipated that new Atlantians would infiltrate Yunjing, setting up formations in advance to sever their connection with water, significantly weakening their strength.
Little did she expect it to be utilized so quickly.
"Are these Atlantians?" Lin Huaijin was very curious, "They do seem just like us."
Huo Yunyi said, "Miss Ye mentioned that the earliest Atlantians were indeed human, but due to tectonic shifts falling into the sea, their descendants evolved the ability to breathe underwater and withstand the ocean’s pressure."
"What about the passage?" Xiang Shaoyu asked coldly, "Where did you come from?"
The two guards clenched their teeth, refusing to speak.
The passage connecting Atlantis and the Land is a secret kept by the royal families of Cangyuan and Chongming. If others were to know, how would their kingship be maintained?
"Not speaking, are you?" Xiang Shaoyu clapped his hands, "Fortunately, Miss Ye had anticipated this too."
Hearing the same words again, both guards shuddered, exchanging a glance, seeing the fear in each other’s eyes.
Exactly how much could Ye Wanlan foresee?!
Xiang Shaoyu promptly summoned Yue Zheng: "Please."
Yue Zheng nodded: "It’s my duty."
She walked forward, merely raising her hand.
"Buzz!"
The two guards seemed to be fixed in place, their eyes gradually losing focus.
Heart Inquiry Skill!
This method reveals one’s true thoughts, leaving no room for deception unless one’s strength far exceeds that of the practitioner.
"Penglai Magic is indeed wondrous." Witnessing this, Xiang Shaoyu exclaimed, "No wonder the Penglai and Beiming sects never participate in the battles of the Jianghu beyond the Martial World Conference."
Although extreme martial arts can break through some arts and methods, in the entire Jianghu, those who have reached this level can be counted on one hand.
Beneath extremity, the power that martial arts can exert is indeed less than that of arts and methods.
Especially illusionary realm types of arts and methods; unless the mind is strong, one would be forever trapped in the illusionary realm.
Yue Zheng said flatly: "Where is the passage?"
"The passage is thirty meters north of Yun Jing City, beside a lake." The guard murmurlessly said, "Only Atlantians below Beta-level can use the passage to reach the Land, but it is limited to ten entries per month, after which it closes until the next opening."
Yue Zheng continued to inquire: "Is the passage naturally existent, or man-made?"
"It was constructed by the Cangyuan Great Priest when Cangyuan was founded, exclusively for the royal family." The guard replied mechanically, "This month, only the two of us used the passage; eight slots remain."
"Eight, quite a number." Yue Zheng pondered, "This can aid Ah Lan."
Xiang Shaoyu nodded: "Indeed, with both entrance and exit of the passage in hand, we can set up a formation at the exit directly."
This would greatly ensure Shenzhou’s safety.
"Alright, I’ll go investigate first." Yue Zheng said, "Wait for my news."
She grasped one of the guards and quickly left the Lin Family.
"Who knows where Miss Ye found such a master, so proficient in Penglai Magic." Xiang Shaoyu exhaled deeply, "I suspect a Penglai Practitioner from three hundred years ago is still alive."
Huo Yunyi shook his head, not knowing either.
He sat back down, his tone firm: "Uncle Lin, let’s eat."
Lin Huaijin: "...Alright."

The darkness was boundless, the hoarse cries of crows echoed through the sky.
Lonely Mountain rose, devoid of any trees or grass, utterly barren.
At the mountain’s peak, on a steep cliff, Estelle Rubinstein was suspended.
Two barbed vines confined her arms, the thorns digging into her flesh, leaving not a patch of her skin unscathed.
Beneath her lay several skeletal remains—employees of the Wanguo Group who inadvertently followed her into Atlantis.
She alone still clung to life, breath never yet drawn her last.
Estelle did not know how long she had been trapped here, for there was no daylight in sight, only darkness.
"Human, you have spirit." Shenxiu raised an eyebrow, curling her lips into a smile, "But how long can you hold out?" Do you think anyone will come? "
This was her cultivation ground, from the mountain’s base to its peak, filled with countless illusionary realms.
Not just humans, even an Alpha-level being wouldn’t be able to reach the summit.
Yet suddenly, Shenxiu’s eyebrows twitched, turning her head to look far off.
"Oh? Someone actually dared to come, a..." Shenxiu eyed the tall, slender figure at the mountain’s base, as if seeing the most amusing thing ever, "little girl."
