"Supreme Azure Wood, Transform and Become a Prison!"
In the Void Realm, countless Miserable Green Vines sprouted out of thin air.
Only this time, they did not transform into Azure Dragons to fight.
Instead, they were like a Net Cast from Heaven and Earth, covering Jiang Yuechu from above.
Countless roots grew out of the vines, frantically dancing in the air.
Clearly, they intended to trap Jiang Yuechu first.
The rest of the crowd instantly understood the intent upon seeing this.
Spell Divine Abilities primarily focused on binding and restriction were deployed one after another.
It must be said.
When this group of hypocrites joined forces, they truly possessed some skill.
Layer upon layer, interlocking with one another.
Although Jiang Yuechu's Physical Body was formidable, facing such continuous Spell Divine Abilities, she found it difficult to break free for a time.
Subconsciously, she was about to activate the golden rainbow to forcibly break open the Cage.
But the moment her body moved.
Her mind suddenly went blank, generating a momentary confusion.
It was this fleeting moment of distraction.
By the time she regained clarity.
Her entire body was tightly bound by the Miserable Green Vines and Golden Light Chains, unable to move.
Seeing the young woman trapped.
Above the clouds, everyone showed delight.
The old woman performing Fuluan even curled her lip, her aged Face full of mockery: "She is, after all, a Barbarian from a remote, desolate place, possessing only brute strength and no brains whatsoever. The path of the Physical Body is ultimately a minor dao, unfit for the grand stage. Its limitation lies precisely here: once trapped, she is like a fish in a net or a Turtle in a Jar, completely incapable of fighting back."
"Immortal Master Deshu is indeed knowledgeable..."
"This woman acts wildly and is arrogant; today, she deserves this lesson."
The others quickly agreed, looking at Jiang Yuechu as if she were a Trapped Beast that had fallen into a snare.
The old woman was pleased, nodding slightly. Her gaze returned to the young woman, and she asked indifferently, "Do you admit your mistake?"
Jiang Yuechu remained expressionless regarding the old woman's words.
She didn't even bother to acknowledge that incessantly chattering old Face; she simply lifted her eyes and swept her gaze across the crowd above the clouds.
Her gaze finally landed on a Daoist priest holding a Whisk and wearing a smug expression.
A hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.
A Divine Soul technique.
Sure enough... insufficient foundation always leads to this day.
That momentary lapse of consciousness just now was caused by this person.
However... Jiang Yuechu felt no panic in her heart.
If this had happened before, being trapped like this might have genuinely been troublesome.
But now that she had obtained the Hun Yuan Marvelous Aperture.
As long as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in this region remained continuous, her True Qi would never dry up.
This group believed they could slowly wear her down until she died.
Little did they know that if they truly kept draining her, they would likely be the ones to exhaust their energy first... However.
She also had no inclination towards being abused or beaten.
Thinking of this.
Jiang Yuechu's eyes widened, and a Red Mist suddenly flared intensely in the depths of her pupils.
She was about to give these old fogeys a big surprise.
Just then.
An extra figure appeared out of thin air in front of Jiang Yuechu at some unknown time.
The figure was sloppy, his robes covered in grease stains, and he did not look imposing.
Yet, the noisy mockery above the clouds instantly came to an abrupt halt.
Thirteen Wu of Xuanzhen Grotto-Heaven.
This name was an unavoidable mountain in the Eastern Domain.
The old woman's expression slightly changed, and the composure with which she had controlled everything instantly vanished.
She narrowed her eyes, which were filled with apprehension.
"Thirteen Wu... what is the meaning of this?"
"This woman just killed an Immortal Master of our Dao Lineage and furthermore insulted the Face of our twenty-five Dao Lineages. She is a heinous criminal."
"Could it be... that this matter was instigated by your Xuanzhen Grotto-Heaven?"
This question was crafty.
If Thirteen Wu admitted it, it would be equivalent to Xuanzhen Grotto-Heaven declaring war on the other lineages.
In the direction of the Imperial City far away, the Emperor and his entourage, who had just approached the area, were all so terrified that their Souls Flew Away and Spirits Scattered upon witnessing this scene.
"Lonely Moon!!!"
The young Emperor let out a mournful roar, his eyes bloodshot.
It was no wonder he lost control like this.
Because Jiang Yuechu at this moment indeed looked somewhat miserable.
Her black robes were torn, her skin cracked, and her entire body was tightly wrapped by countless Chains of Light, preventing her from moving.
Anyone who saw her would think she had reached a dead end.
Why was it like this?!
Why did she have to Face these Heavenly Gods and Buddhas alone?
She clearly didn't have to struggle so hard... Thirteen Wu ignored the commotion below, instead turning back helplessly to glance at Jiang Yuechu.
His gaze was like that of someone looking at a naughty Child who had caused a massive disaster without realizing it.
Although this girl was trapped, she wore an expression of disdain and was secretly gathering strength, clearly preparing to fight them desperately.
This Stubborn Temper... Afterward.
He turned around and spoke calmly to the group of Tower-Ascending Martial Immortals who were standing ready.
"This matter has nothing to do with my Xuanzhen Grotto-Heaven."
"It's just that I find this girl somewhat pleasing to the eye, and I don't want her to die just like this..."
"For the sake of my Face, how about we drop this matter today?"
"Heh..."
The old woman let out a cold laugh, her expression growing increasingly gloomy: "Does Immortal Master think a casual 'let it go' is enough to dismiss this matter?"
Thirteen Wu's expression was calm, as if he had long anticipated this reaction: "Then what do you want?"
"Other things can be discussed."
"But if you demand her life... no."
"..."
Hearing this.
The old woman fell silent.
Although Thirteen Wu had previously shown himself for Great Tang, subtly revealing that his connection here was not shallow.
She truly hadn't expected him to go to such lengths for this woman.
Thirteen Wu's renown in the Eastern Domain was known to all.
If he were truly determined to protect this girl and teamed up with this woman whose Physical Body was terrifying... their dozen or so people might genuinely not fare well.
Even if they won, they would certainly pay a terrible price.
Thinking of this.
She refrained from immediately making any demands.
Instead, she redirected her gaze toward the trapped Jiang Yuechu and sneered: "Immortal Master, you see, even now, this girl's eyes are full of defiance and resentment. Where is there any sign of submission?"
"If you want us to stop, you must show some sincerity, right?"
The old Daoist priest glanced sideways, looking at the beautiful Face behind him that was still calm as water, and finally let out a long sigh.
He lowered his voice and slowly said, "I know you are angry, and I know Great Tang has suffered injustice."
"But..."
"The situation now is stronger than any person. Your strength is insufficient, your foundation is weak. Even if you can't swallow this resentment, you must force it down."
"Just bow your head first, and bear with it this one time."
"Don't lose your life here just for a moment of youthful pride..."
Hearing the old Daoist priest's earnest advice.
Jiang Yuechu lifted her head indifferently, her gaze passing over Thirteen Wu's shoulder toward the arrogant Faces of the crowd above the clouds.
Then, she gave a free and easy smile.
"Immortal Master, Lonely Moon appreciates your kindness."
"It's just... sorry, I can't endure it."
"..."
Thirteen Wu's body stiffened. He slowly turned his head, looking at her with some disbelief.
The old woman performing Fuluan laughed out of extreme anger.
"Good! What a splendid 'I can't endure it'!"
She pointed at Jiang Yuechu, then turned toward Thirteen Wu: "Thirteen Wu! You saw it too!"
"It's not that we aren't giving your Xuanzhen Grotto-Heaven Face; it's this girl who doesn't know her own limits!"
"She is already a Turtle in a Jar, trapped by us, yet she still dares to spout such nonsense here! If Thirteen Wu wasn't here protecting you, do you think you would even have the chance to speak?"
Facing these words.
Jiang Yuechu merely curled her lip and scoffed: "A bunch of Stray Cats and Dogs..."
"What did you say?!"
The old woman's eyes bulged, and the fury in them was practically bursting out.
She simply couldn't believe her ears.
In this desperate situation, this woman dared to speak disrespectfully?!
The others also showed displeasure, and the Qi mechanisms around their bodies surged once more.
But the next moment.
The anger on everyone's Faces completely froze.
Rolling Black Mist had, at some unknown point, already covered the sky and obscured the earth.
Immediately following this.
Piercing roars echoed from within the Black Mist.
Amidst the surging Black Mist, a Thunder Dragon entirely wrapped in Purple Lightning was the first to extend its terrifying head, letting out an earth-shattering roar.
Close behind, a White Crane with a wingspan of a hundred zhang soared into the sky, stretching its neck and crying out loudly, its sound shattering metal and stone.
A blood-red Fierce Tiger trampled the Void Realm, opening its bloody maw and exposing its chilling fangs.
A Flame Wolf, whose entire body was engulfed in Demonic Fire, charged out from the darkness.
Furthermore, countless spectral shadows of Demons and Monsters surged out of the Black Mist like a tide.
They roared, they howled, and frantically tore at the Binding Spells wrapped around the young woman.
In the blink of an eye.
Under the gaze of countless stunned eyes.
The Girl in Black Robes slowly stepped out from the shattered light.
Black Mist coiled around her body, accompanied by a Hundred Demons.
She raised her hand indifferently.
A cold voice echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.
"Kill them."
