Chapter 122 Something Happened

What exactly happened outside wasn't for them, the younger generation, to ponder. Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted just outside their courtyard.

Instantly, all the Jingyun Sect disciples resting in the courtyard emerged from their rooms, standing under the eaves, their eyes fixed on the outside.

Flashes of magical combat illuminated the inky sky, the speed so great they couldn't discern what was happening.

"How are we supposed to get out of here…" Zhen Po even retrieved his magical artifact, looking as if he was ready to charge outside at any moment. Fortunately, one of the older disciples stepped forward to restrain his impulsive behavior.

"Enough! All disciples, quiet! Form a defensive array! Since the elders are protecting us here, it means the situation outside is beyond our abilities. However, we must not be careless. Everyone, form the defensive array!"

As the command was issued, Mingmei pulled Mei Jiu towards the disciples. On the way, Mingmei and Mei Jiu had already taken out their summoning magic treasures.

Excellent, it would be foolish not to call their parents at a time like this!

With that thought, Mingmei and Mei Jiu injected spiritual energy into the magic treasures to summon reinforcements. No matter how chaotic it was outside, at least the presence of their parents' level of power would deter others, right?

"They'll be here soon."

After summoning their parents, Mingmei and Mei Jiu informed everyone, and the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, Mei Shi and Mingmei were viewed by everyone as figures with an invincible aura, a source of immense security!

"I wonder how the folks at Lianhua Temple in the neighboring courtyard are doing." With their own safety temporarily assured, everyone couldn't help but worry about the people in the neighboring courtyard.

Listening to the sounds outside, the crowd's hearts skipped a beat. Could something have happened next door?

As soon as they finished worrying, they saw a dazzling white light erupt from the side of their courtyard.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a Dharma array engraved with Buddhist teachings rising into the sky, illuminating their courtyard as well.

"Oh my heavens… the power in this array…"

They were all startled by the immense power when the array rose, and when the light from the neighboring array shone on their bodies, they even felt a warm sensation.

"Something's not right… our array is dissipating…"

At this moment, a NPC who had been leaning against the edge of the transparent array spoke up.

"It seems to be weakening."

Mei Jiu could also feel the dissolving effect the array from the neighboring courtyard had on the Fifth Elder's array.

Although they were both righteous cultivators and understood that the other side's array was powerful, positive, and harmless, directly dissolving someone else's defensive array was somewhat unsettling.

"Hey, hey, we can leave the corridors now!"

The Fifth Elder's array only covered the rooms and corridors, not even the courtyard. Now, due to the Lianhua Temple's array, the Fifth Elder's array was gradually failing, and everyone walked to the courtyard gate, unanimously looking in the direction where the most magical light was flashing.

A very large tree.

Everyone: "…"

Their line of sight was blocked by a tree, and for a moment, no one knew what to say.

The key point was that Lianhua Temple's array also neither allowed anyone to leave nor enter.

Just as a group of Jingyun Sect disciples were sticking their little heads out of the courtyard gate and sighing, they suddenly heard a soft laugh. The group turned their heads and saw the abbot of Lianhua Temple, Shi Qing, standing alone not far from the gate of their courtyard, looking aloof.

From the other party's perspective, it probably looked like a row of heads on top of the gate.

Jingyun Sect disciples: "…"

It seemed a little embarrassing.

The worst part was that on the courtyard gate next door behind the abbot, another row of heads had "grown." The laughter just now probably came from the gate of the courtyard next door.

So, as if the back of his head had eyes, the abbot suddenly turned around and looked at the young disciples of his temple, who were doing the same thing.

A trace of exhaustion flashed across his delicate and aloof eyebrows.

"Abbot, what exactly happened?"

Of all the people present, Shi Qing probably possessed the greatest abilities. It was not an overstatement for Mingmei to directly ask the other party what had happened.

"I don't know." Surprisingly, Shi Qing's answer was quite unexpected, "We're just passing by."

After speaking, Shi Qing met Mingmei's questioning gaze and added, "We were just unexpected guests in this plan."

This time, the other party simply stated that the matter outside was something the Fifth Elder had wanted to do a long time ago and had nothing to do with him.

"Even so, since you're unwilling to intervene, why did you come tonight and why are you staying tonight?" Mingmei was a little annoyed by the other party's indifferent attitude.

It wasn't that she wanted to morally coerce the other party into taking action, but the other party's reply and appearance today seemed like he already knew about it. He knew about it a long time ago and came to watch. When things really happened before his eyes, he said – it's none of my business.

If it's not related, why come watch the show?

…

"What's going on?"

Hearing the commotion in the City Lord's mansion, Lu Gui subconsciously rushed in, but was stopped by Lou Jia halfway.

"Don't go in. With this level of commotion, I'm afraid your Foundation Establishment cultivation level won't be able to help."

Lou Jia looked at the colors above the City Lord's mansion and immediately saw that a huge barrier had risen around the City Lord's mansion, which could not be entered unless one reached a certain level of cultivation.

Lou Jia remembered the insectoid.

"This is probably related to that insectoid. You and the other players be careful. I'll go in first." After Lou Jia finished speaking to Lu Gui, he prepared to rush in. When Lu Gui heard that it was related to the insectoid, his expression became extremely ugly.

It was as if the grand finale had arrived, but he, as a player, had no sense of participation.

Mingmei and the others were the same. Looking at the figures flashing above the sky and the magical light of combat, that feeling of anxiety was like a kitten seeing dried fish it couldn't eat!

Mei Jiu stretched her neck, hoping she could see something, but she didn't see who was being beaten and sent flying or who was gathering strength to rush over. The combat between high-level cultivators was really flashy and made a lot of noise!

"When exactly will Father and Mother arrive?"

After a long time, she remembered that she and Mingmei had summoned their parents over, right?

The time should be almost up.

"You summoned True Person Mingxiao?" Hearing Mei Jiu's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Shi Qing's eyes.

"Is there a problem?"

Seeing the surprise in the other party's eyes, a sense of unease suddenly flashed in Mingmei's heart.

"No, I'm just saying – this evil cultivator's abilities are very powerful."

After Shi Qing spoke, Mingmei's pupils couldn't help but shrink instantly!

Did he mean that her parents had already arrived but had already started fighting?

However, her parents' cultivation setting was still ahead of the game, even in the game!

Who could fight them for so long?

Mingmei couldn't help but look in the direction of the battle outside. If her parents had already joined the battle but were still fighting, what did that represent?

Could it be that the strength of that insectoid was so powerful in the game as well?!
