I'm also desperate.
Chapter 315 Dark Clouds Gather
"It's a pity I promised them I'd wait for them at the Polar Ice Sect. I probably won't get the chance now."
Wei Ba felt a slight regret in her heart, but that was all. Even Ni Dongmei was anxiously wiping sweat and jumping up and down. What could she, someone who hadn't even entered the martial path, do?
Just resign herself to fate.
Just as Wei Ba thought this, Ni Dongmei suddenly leaped down, overjoyed.
"I got the message! Let's go, Wei Ba, we're leaving the village immediately!"
"But that black cloud outside..."
"That's not a black cloud, that's... the Uyu Clan! An ancient and bizarre curse! Even among the bizarre, they're a terrifying existence."
The Uyu Clan?!
Isn't that...?
"Don't think about it, hurry and follow me, or we won't even be able to leave the village!"
Grabbing Wei Ba, Ni Dongmei transformed into an icy wind and rushed out, without even saying goodbye to Captain Lang Wu and the others.
Just as she had arrived suddenly, she also left suddenly.
...
The wind was blowing.
The whistling wind made Ma Ling'er laugh with delight.
Her silver bell-like voice caused the surrounding human-face kites to sway, as if they were drunk.
"Young Miss, please stop laughing, it will disrupt the formation."
A human-face kite nearby couldn't help but speak.
But it was already too late.
The originally dense, enormous black cloud slowly tore open a small hole.
Inside, you could see more than a dozen human-face kites gliding through the black cloud.
The direction they were gliding in was none other than Ink Village.
The human bone kite carved with Ma Ling'er's face slowly suppressed her delighted laughter.
"I'm back... I, Ma Ling'er... am back!!"
"We... the Uyu Clan, are back!"
"Nightfall is dawning. Ink Village, and Ancient Moon Village, Lord Han... everyone, will die!!"
Ma Ling'er revealed a sinister smile, her gaze fixed on Ink Village in the distance.
What they didn't realize was that beneath their massive black cloud, a group of people were riding ice crystal horses, traveling quickly as if on flat ground.
Occasionally, those riding the ice crystal horses would look up at the black cloud in the sky, their faces full of shock and astonishment.
"So many Uyu Clan... Ink Village is finished!"
"Go faster! The Pillar of Destiny is in Ink Village. I've already sent the Ninth Elder to escort her to meet us! This tribulation must be meant for the Pillar of Destiny. Ink Village is suffering on our behalf!"
"Yes!"
Their speed suddenly increased explosively. The group was like an icy wind, quickly covering the distance, carefully controlling their aura from leaking out.
But that burst of speed was like a spot of ink on a blank piece of paper, immediately attracting the attention of the human bone kites in the black cloud.
"Those guys... are not simple." An old-looking human bone kite nearby frowned slightly.
"Elder Chen, they are not my target. Just send someone to take care of them," Ma Ling'er said immediately.
"Those few people are not so easily dealt with... I'll take some people down."
"Alright."
From the enormous black cloud, a few black spots separated and swooped down.
"Damn it! The Uyu Clan has found us!"
"We can't retreat! You go on ahead and meet up with the Ninth Elder! I'll hold them off!"
"Martial Uncle?!"
The other elders' expressions changed slightly, but seeing their martial uncle's resolute attitude, they gritted their teeth and hurried on their way.
The martial uncle was an elderly man dressed in a white robe that fluttered in the wind. He looked up, facing the dozen or so human bone kites diving down, without changing his expression. He bent his legs slightly, borrowing strength to push off, and shot into the sky!
Buzz!!
While in the air, shadows of ice swords surrounded him, his aura soaring!
"Below the Immortal Realm, all are ants! You are courting your own humiliation!"
Elder Chen narrowed his eyes. In mid-air, the kite gradually grew larger, as if its bones were multiplying, enveloping the martial uncle.
"You are wrong. That lord's original words were - Below the Immortal Realm, all are mortals. But the world only knows the first half of the sentence and not the second. And that is - Before the Rain Rank appears, the world is in turmoil!"
Before the Rain Rank appears, the world is in turmoil!
Elder Chen was momentarily stunned by those words, but he quickly revealed a sinister face.
"I wondered who this young whelp was, so it's that guy's descendant!"
Whoosh—
"Today, I will make sure your lineage ends here!"
The human bones exploded, blocking out the sky, enveloping the white-robed martial uncle and the accompanying human bone kites, turning into a giant bone ball!
"Martial Uncle!!"
The others looked back and couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
Several even wanted to go back to help their martial uncle escape, but they resisted the urge.
Now, the only thing they had to do was bring back Wei Ba, bring back the Pillar of Destiny, and return to the Polar Ice Sect. Otherwise, everything would be in vain!
Just as they thought this, a fierce gust of icy wind swept past in the distance.
"It's the Ninth Elder!"
"Ninth Sister!"
The others quickly went to meet her. When the icy wind arrived, Ni Dongmei had already transformed back into human form.
"Senior brothers, the power of this clone has been exhausted. The rest is up to you!"
She handed Wei Ba over to the elders and pressed her hand against her chest.
*Du du*.
As if activating something, a frosty jade-like mark slowly appeared on her chest, almost identical to the Fiery Sun Sect's jade seal, except one was a scorching fiery red and the other an extremely cold ice blue.
As if the mark was reaching its limit, the ice mark became increasingly distinct, radiating an icy aura. Waves of icy energy emanated from her body, turning the ground beneath her feet and the surrounding weeds into ice!
"Ninth Sister?! Stop! Doing this is equivalent to crippling most of your cultivation! Even if it's just a clone, it will affect the original body and cut off your path to cultivation!"
The others' expressions changed slightly, and they quickly spoke out.
But Ni Dongmei's expression remained unchanged.
"I've always admired Master. The heroic figure he cut when he saved me is still deeply etched in my memory.
I'm constantly thinking about when I will have the chance to sacrifice myself for the sect, for others, and save the day! Now, the opportunity is right in front of me, and I have to consider whether this is the last chance I'll have in my life!
This clone has been constantly exhausting its power. Even if it survives, my main body will no longer be able to recover its cultivation, so it's better to use it here... With my body, I forge the glory of the Polar Ice Sect!!"
This time, before the others could speak, she leaped up and transformed into an icy wind in mid-air, rushing towards the giant bone ball.
"Go! All of you, go!!"
"Ninth Sister!!"
Amidst the others' shouts, Ni Dongmei, burning with the ice mark, crashed into the giant bone ball.
With a loud bang, the bone ball shook violently, condensing layers upon layers of extreme ice!
The ice exploded, freezing the bone ball!
Whether it was the martial uncle inside, or the dozen or so terrifying Uyu Clan bizarre, they were all temporarily trapped inside the bone ball!
"Go... let's go!!"
Seeing how the situation had become, the other elders gritted their teeth and fled frantically with Wei Ba.
They were moving at their fastest speed, quickly leaving the black cloud and the frozen bone ball behind.
