Protect Our Chief-Chapter 504 - 20: Oh No! What Terrifying Little Monster Have We Provoked?_2

"This, this, this..."

Including Senior Brother Zhenghua, the onlookers were all stunned by this scene.

This was a full-force strike from a mid-stage Celestial Human Realm Elder, yet it didn’t even cause her serious injury! That white Spirit Shield was so powerful, could it be yet another upper-grade Spiritual Artifact?

As everyone knows, upper-grade Spiritual Artifacts possess extraordinary power, comparable to lower-grade Magical Treasures, and the threshold to wield them is low; even Spirit Platform Realm Cultivators can refine and easily use them, making them precious among Spiritual Artifacts!

Though upper-grade Spiritual Artifacts are indeed useful, the only problem with them is their "expensive" cost.

Their price is even slightly higher than that of a middle-grade Magical Treasure. Such prices are truly outrageously expensive, shockingly so, that ordinary noble families can only look at them and maybe think about them in their dreams.

This price also dictates that it will not become a necessity for noble families, but rather an unaffordable luxury.

A noble family might grit their teeth and tighten their belts to invest hundreds of thousands of Qian Gold into a big project, and perhaps even sell everything to buy a ’Bone Marrow Purify Pill’ to nurture the family’s seed, but they would absolutely not grittingly buy an upper-grade Spiritual Artifact home.

Only those old long-standing sixth-grade, or even fifth-grade noble families, might possibly have upper-grade Spiritual Artifacts as an inheritance. However, it would certainly only be the direct lineage progeny’s right to equip.

This girl, Wang Liyao, has in one breath obtained both an offensive and defensive upper-grade Spiritual Artifact, and a more precious Feiyu Spirit Treasure in addition. Her entire wealth combined is likely such that even the lofty Celestial Human Realm Direct Disciples of the Yuan Water Lineage may only sigh in admiration.

"This..."

Even Elder Shang’s expression was somewhat indecisive by this time.

With a casual call, the Primordial Water Treasure Saber flew back to his side, lively as if it were a creature.

If it were just one upper-grade Spiritual Artifact, or a Feiyu Spirit Treasure, it wouldn’t definitively reveal this girl’s background. After all, in some long-standing, declining families, such good items might still exist.

But the simultaneous appearance of two upper-grade Spiritual Artifacts made Elder Shang’s last trace of luck in his heart completely dissipate. He was almost certain, this girl’s background was probably no small matter.

...

While Wang Liyao was exchanging blows with Elder Shang.

In the main hall of the Yuan Water Lineage in the middle of the vast Central Island of Heavenly Lake with Yuan Water, isolated by the Defense Array, several Ascendants were still meeting to discuss the layout ahead.

Suddenly.

Binglan Ascendant lifted an eyebrow slightly, raising his gaze to glance outside: "This commotion... is it two Celestial Human Realm members of the Yuan Water Lineage fighting or sparring?"

"It’s likely two core disciples of the Celestial Human Realm." Master Xuan Yao said carelessly, "It’s been too peaceful for too long, with no place to exert their strength. Didn’t we also go through such a time in our youth? Those overly vigorous like this, send them to the Outer Domain Battlefield for a few rounds, and they’ll naturally calm down."

The other Ascendants also sensed the energy fluctuations outside, and turned their gazes to Yuan Shui Ascendant.

Yuan Shui Ascendant’s stern face showed a trace of embarrassment.

Sparring is usually common between Black Tortoise Cultivators. However, with Yu Hang injured, and all Ascendants gathered, sparring at such a time seemed somewhat inappropriate and left him slightly displeased.

"Disciples sparring is indeed normal." Lady Illusion Butterfly from Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies said with a charming laugh, "Let’s not worry about those two youngsters for now. Senior Brother Yuan Shui, you are acting on behalf of the dean now. I just wish to ask, why is my Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies’ resource allocation for the next thirty years reduced by ten percent, while the Profound Ice Hall’s is increased..."

"The Profound Ice Hall is the main combat force..."

The several bigshots instantly cast aside that "minor matter" and started vying for benefits for their lineages.

...

"Cough, cough!"

Wang Liyao stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and popped a Fourth-Grade Healing Pill into her mouth. Meanwhile, the Primordial Water Spiritual Qi around her body began to slowly converge, automatically healing her.

Although slightly injured, her gaze was still very determined, with no intention of yielding or retreating from Elder Shang.

Elder Shang saw this, and his heart skipped a beat.

He unconsciously mused to himself, this might be a bit of trouble, as if he had provoked something terrifying.

A surge of anger rose up in his heart, and he couldn’t help but glare at Shang Lexian, who had also stepped aside with a face full of uncertainty.

This brat, what kind of monster has he brought back to cause trouble for himself?

Judging from her Primordial Water Spiritual Qi that automatically gathered to heal her, her Primordial Water Bloodline awakening must be very high, perhaps even higher than my own who is midway through the Triple Bloodline awakening. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Thinking of a certain possibility, Elder Shang’s face became increasingly grim, his heart filled with unease, and disturbance surged uncontrollably.

"Hahahaha~ It’s been a long time since I fought so heartily~ Elder Shang, thank you for your instruction."

But Wang Liyao was without many distracting thoughts.

She lifted her head to look at Elder Shang in the sky, her beautiful eyes suddenly sparkled with flames, unknown when they had ignited.

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the days of old when she burned off her teacher’s beard. The more someone wanted to enforce their will upon her, the more defiant she became and the more she struggled.

Since Elder Shang insisted on turning black into white, she decided to give him a lesson even if it meant using all her strength.

With this in mind, Wang Liyao’s gaze suddenly became firm.

With a casual release of the Qiushui Sword, letting it surround her on its own, she waved her hands in a flourish, deftly forming a complex and mysterious Finger Technique.
