Chapter 1143: Chapter 1140: The Presence That Could Annihilate Floating Mountain at Any Moment
The sudden transformation within the Floating Mountain greatly shook the Ji Family of Floating Mountain.
Ancient beings awoke at this moment, their gaze cast towards the sky above the Floating Daoist Collection, their expressions extremely grave.
A Ji Family ancestor murmured, "It seems it is destined to arrive after all..."
Ordinary people may not know what happened, but those guarding the Ji Family of Floating Mountain knew a lot about it.
That place has always been classified as Forbidden Land in the Floating Mountain.
No one is allowed to go there!
Remember.
Absolutely no one!
Even the Saint Master and Ji Family ancestors cannot go there.
Yet today, with the sudden abnormality, everyone headed towards that place.
Except for the disciples requested to stay home, numerous Elders and protectors rushed to the sky above the Floating Daoist Collection.
When Ye Xuan and his group arrived at the Floating Daoist Collection, many strong figures from the Ji Family had already appeared in the sky, temporarily setting up a Barrier to stop people from entering.
"Everyone retreat!"
An Elder scolded with a cold face.
Some supreme talents familiar with the Elders quietly inquired, "Elder, what exactly happened?"
The Elder saw they were extraordinary talents; his expression softened but still spoke solemnly, "We are still investigating, but this matter is of great urgency. Retreat for now, or you may risk your lives!"
With these words, even the talented youths understood.
It seems, something monumental is happening within the Floating Mountain.
Moreover, it seems even the Elders might not be able to resolve it.
Thus, it seems the only choice is to step back for now.
However, many were unwilling to leave, wanting to find out what exactly was happening.
These people faced simple consequences, being forcibly expelled.
Though the Ji Family’s strong figures were kind to promising disciples, when action was needed, their approach turned ruthless.
Some disciples were even coldly injured by Elders and eventually chose to leave.
From an initial crowd gathering, in a blink, only a few were left.
This process was extremely swift.
Evidently, the Ji Family of Floating Mountain did not wish more people to know of this matter.
Nor did they want others to be drawn in.
For a moment, an indescribable oppressive atmosphere rapidly spread within the Ji Family of Floating Mountain.
The entire Ji Family of Floating Mountain was shrouded in an invisible gloom.
"You all should step back too!"
Seeing Ye Xuan and his group approaching, the responsible Ji Family Elder coldly remarked.
"Uncle, what is happening?" Ji Ziqing initiated the question.
This Ji Family Elder was a paternal uncle of Ji Ziqing.
The Elder saw this and said gravely, "Miss Ziqing, we currently do not understand the situation, but the circumstances are not good, you should retreat for now."
Ji Ziqing’s expression turned solemn.
Though she didn’t know why the sky above the Floating Daoist Collection was considered Forbidden Land, it was clear that something unknown was there.
And all that was happening now was related to it.
"Young Master Ye?"
Ji Ziqing looked at Ye Xuan, her eyes questioning.
Ye Xuan’s eyes were calm, and he said slowly, "You can’t solve this; let me handle it."
The Ji Family Elder heard this, and after a surprised glance at Ye Xuan, frowned, "Out of respect for you being Miss Ziqing’s friend, I warn you, don’t be too arrogant, even we don’t know what’s happening, what can you resolve?"
"Just because you don’t know doesn’t mean others don’t either," Qiankun Ancestor said coldly.
At this moment, Qiankun Ancestor dropped his playful demeanor.
Though he also wasn’t clear on the reasons, because of Ye Xuan, Qiankun Ancestor knew there was a terrifying presence above, and if not handled in time, more trouble could arise!
"Return quickly, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!" snapped the Ji Family Elder, his expression hardened.
Initially spoken because of Ji Ziqing, he had said those words to Ye Xuan’s group, but if they didn’t appreciate it, they couldn’t blame him!
Of course, this was because the Ji Family Elder was unaware of the Black and White Academy incident; if he knew, he wouldn’t have stopped Ye Xuan and the others.
Not even a newly-ascended Immortal, much less a Supreme, could stop Ye Xuan.
"Young Master Ye, do you really have a way?" Ji Ziqing asked Ye Xuan quietly.
"Except for me, there’s no one else capable," Ye Xuan nodded slightly.
Ji Ziqing was slightly shaken; she looked up at her uncle and said softly, "Uncle, apologize for this!"
Before the Elder could react, Ji Ziqing swept her long sleeves, a green glow engulfing the Ji Family Elder.
The Ji Family Elder’s eyes widened, glaring at Ji Ziqing, seemingly not expecting her to act against him, he staggered back two steps before falling to the ground, unconscious.
Ji Ziqing waved her hand, moving the Ji Family Elder to a safer location, and then the group passed through the gap, entering the Barrier.
Upon passing through the Barrier, everyone felt an indescribable terrifying force.
This force was precisely what everyone previously sensed, making it difficult to bear.
As if some great terror existed, upon sensing it, the heart was overwhelmed with negative emotions as if being suppressed!
Feeling this force, Ji Ziqing and the others’ expressions changed completely, their hearts stirred greatly.
What kind of presence could possess such a terrifying oppression?
At this moment, Zhou Youwei turned to look behind.
There, Zhu Xiuxiu had followed stealthily, her expression now grave.
Noticing Zhou Youwei’s gaze, Zhu Xiuxiu met her eyes and nodded slightly, as a greeting.
Zhou Youwei withdrew her gaze, continuing to observe the situation above.
The Barrier’s power had already suppressed that force to its minimum.
But at its initial eruption, it shook the entire Floating Mountain.
And now within the Barrier, the true, primal force was felt!
Rumble————
Above, endless thunderclouds loomed, making it impossible to see the edit.
Accompanied by thunderous vibrations, a massive and boundless shadow was concealed within, emitting earth-shattering fear, continuously birthing negative emotions in people’s hearts.
Panic, despair, madness, various emotions endlessly grew, causing a sense of insanity.
"What is that?"
Ji Ziqing asked, face pale, unable to resist.
"An existence capable of destroying Floating Mountain at any moment..."
Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm, his gaze on the massive and boundless shadow.
