MEIWITA Chapter 722: Blocked by the Devil Race

Lou Mu Yan’s impact when advancing to Heaven Elemental Realm was very big. Even with Deputy Hall Master Wan’s defensive divine tool, the surge of spiritual force was still vey fierce, causing a lot of commotion.

“Go to a safe place and let her advance first.” Deputy Hall Master Wan discovered that there were actually seven-coloured spiritual clouds gathering in the sky, so he ordered the giant Roc beneath him.

Soon, the giant golden Roc landed on a desolate hill and other pupils jumped off the giant Roc, watching Lou Mu Yan advance.

The surrounding spiritual force poured continuously into her body, and her body absorbed it like a bottomless pit.

A large number of seven-coloured spiritual clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning bolts of spiritual energy fell down to temper her body again and again.

This method of advancement also stunned the people present. They discovered that Lou Mu Yan’s skin was enveloped with a layer of jade colour, which was extremely tough.

“What a strong body, she’s actually a body cultivator.” A person couldn’t resist sighing.

“I wonder how she performed in the Pagodas of Enlightenment this time. Since she was the last one to come out, she probably didn’t perform poorly.”

“I guess she should have reached the ninth floor of one or two Pagods of Enlightenment at least.”

“Deputy Hall Master Wan seems to attach great importance to her based on his attitude. She must’ve performed really well this time.”

“…”

The core pupils present were all under fifty years old, with high intelligence. They had a friendly attitude towards Lou Mu Yan in their hearts.

This wasn’t only because of them being in the same force, but also because the potential shown by Lou Mu Yan was worthy of their friendship.

Just based on the grade 8 Spirit Gathering Array she showed, there was no one among the core pupils who wouldn’t be interested in her arrays.

It took Lou Mu Yan three days to complete this advancement. Due to the strong spiritual energy she suppressed being very dense, plus the thorough comprehension in the Pagodas of Enlightenment, she skipped a level, not only advancing to Heaven Elemental Realm, but also advancing to the middle phase.

In fact, she still suppressed a portion of the energy, otherwise it’d even be possible to use this to advance to Late-Phase Heaven Elemental Realm.

One was because she didn’t want too much publicity, and the other was that she hoped to build a solid foundation step by step.

But what she didn’t take seriously caused everyone, including Deputy Hall Master Wan, to be dumbfounded.

It was the first time they saw someone who was able to jump two levels in a row when advancing to Heaven Elemental Realm, directly leaping over initial-phase to middle-phase. Such cultivation talent was as pervertedly strong as her specialisations talent.

Lou Mu Yan knew from the beginning that Deputy Hall Master Wan asked the giant Roc to find this place for her to break through. The other pupils didn’t show much dissatisfaction either, and she reaffirmed her decision to choose the Mercenary Union again.

She got up and apologised to Deputy Hall Master Wan and the core pupils present: “Deputy Hall Master Wan, senior brothers and senior sisters, I apologise for making you wait so long.”

“Haha, no problem.” Deputy Hall Master Wan said with a merry smile: “It’s not bad to witness a genius like you advancing in this lifetime, we’d be happy to even wait a few more days.”

He, himself, was at Unification Realm and had lived for thousands of years, but this was the first time he had seen a genius advancing to Heaven Elemental Realm who could skip levels. In addition to Lou Mu Yan’s performance in the Pagodas of Enlightenment, he also placed her at an equal status in his heart.

As long as Lou Mu Yan didn’t fall, it was certain that she would become at least a grade 9 five specialisations master in the future, and it was very likely he would request favours from her.

So he was very kind to her.

“What Deputy Hall Master Wan said is true, the process of Junior Sister’s advancement has also benefited us a lot, so it doesn’t hurt to wait a little longer.”

The others also conveyed their friendliness to her one after another. It was impossible for them to openly offend or hold grudges against such a genius who was being raised with significance by the Mercenary Union.

What was more, Lou Mu Yan’s advancement process did bring them a lot of excitement and a brand-new feeling. It wasn’t a lie that they really benefitted a lot during these three days.

“Deputy Hall Master Wan and senior brothers and senior sisters overpraises.” Lou Mu Yan smiled modestly.

“Alright, Lou girl has already finished advancing, let’s continue on our way.” Deputy Hall Master Wan smiled and had everyone hop on the giant Roc.

The Union Leader had already sent a summons over, asking what was happening, and it was self-evident that he attached great importance to Lou Mu Yan. It was better to hurry back. Recently, he just had an indescribable heart palpitation.

A group of people continued to fly after hopping on the giant Roc, and when they arrived above the top of a dense forest—

Suddenly, waves of pressure spread out and enveloped the entire group.

Deputy Hall Master Wan’s expression changed. It was obvious that they had been in ambush for a long time.

Then everyone saw more than a dozen black-clothed men appearing in mid-air, and the two in the lead were at Unification Realm.

“Maybe we will spare your lives if you leave your interspatial rings behind. If you don’t have sense, then there is only death.” A masked man in black at Unification Realm said with a sinister cackle.

Deputy Hall Master Wan said in a cold and serious voice: “We are members of the Mercenary Union, you must have found the wrong targets.”

“What about the members of the Mercenary Union? You think we’d be afraid?” The other masked man sneered: “The members of the Mercenary Union are richer than other small fish and shrimp. It seems that we’ll make a fortune this time.”

The pupils of the Mercenary Union took out their magic tools and prepared for battle.

Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows. She discovered that the more than a dozen people opposite had a familiar aura, but it was indeed the first time they met.

“They’re all devils.” Jun Luo Chen’s voice sounded in her sea of consciousness.

She narrowed her eyes. It seemed that these people were sent by the First Holy Maiden or the Third Holy Maiden—maybe even Shen Mu Feng.

Before, after she participated in the alchemy competition in the Northern State, she was constantly hunted down by killers from the Hidden City. Ming Xiu found out that it was the First Holy Maiden who went to the Hidden City to buy her life, but later it was cancelled for unknown reasons.

She guessed that it wasn’t because the First Holy Maiden gave up the mission, but she couldn’t figure out why the Hidden City would give up the mission either.

“They should be coming after me.” Lou Mu Yan telepathically said, calmly.

“Obviously. They’re only using robbery to cover up their identities as devils. After all, if they’re discovered, the powerhouses in the Human Realm will definitely attack them.” Jun Luo Chen replied.

A sneer appeared on Lou Mu Yan’s lips, “They sure think highly of me, dispatching 2 Unification Realm and seventeen Late-Phase and Peak-Phase Heaven Elemental Realm devils.”

“The two Unification Realm powerhouses should mainly be dealing with Deputy Hall Master Wan. As long as you get rid of the more than a dozen or so Heaven Elemental Realm devils, they’ll naturally retreat.” Jun Luo Chen said lightly.

Lou Mu Yan replied: “I haven’t exercised for a long time, it’s perfect to use them to test the strength after breaking through to Heaven Elemental Realm.”

Deputy Hall Master Wan negotiated with the two, but it was obviously fruitless.

“Kill them all, leave none behind.” As masked man in black ordered.

“Yes.”

And so more than a dozen people quickly surrounded Lou Mu Yan and her party.

Deputy Hall Master Wan was also cunning and wise after living for so many years, so he naturally understood that these people came without any goodwill, and definitely weren’t real bandits. Maybe they were targeting the core pupils of the Mercenary Union.

“I’ll deal with those two Unification Realms, you all hold back that dozen or so Heaven Elemental Realms. Kill them if you can, don’t show mercy.” Hall Master Wan instructed the pupils.

“Yes.”
