Chapter 410: She Can Only Blame Her Own Bad Luck
[Ding! “Host, a momentary win or loss will not affect the final outcome. The System will help you become strong.”]

“I do not believe you! I just want you to help me keep Yu Zhao here!”

[Host!]

For once, the System’s voice carried a hint of panic.

“Hm? What sound?”

Dao Lord Tai Wei’s cold gaze swept over and landed on Ye Cong Xin, full of scrutiny.

Ye Cong Xin had never felt such crushing pressure. Her body shook like a sieve, and every hair on her body stood on end.

Everyone looked curious.

A sound?

What sound?

They had not heard anything at all.

Yu Zhao secretly guessed in her heart: [Could it be that the malevolent spirit inside Ye Cong Xin has been exposed?]

[Dao Lord Tai Wei really is a Mahayana cultivator. She could see Ye Cong Xin’s abnormality the moment they met.]

[It looks like Ye Cong Xin has little chance of surviving this time.]

“System, System…” Ye Cong Xin’s voice shook badly. “Keep Yu Zhao here! Otherwise I will die together with you!”

Right now, Ye Cong Xin’s only obsession was that Yu Zhao could not leave.

If Yu Zhao had to go, then she had to take her along.

The System also seemed shocked by her madness and froze for several breaths.

Dao Lord Tai Wei did not give them any time to hesitate and let out a light hum.

Ye Cong Xin instantly felt as if her internal organs were scorched by raging fire. The pain was unbearable. Blood gushed from her nose, eyes, and throat, soaking through her clothes in an instant.

Everyone was startled by her miserable state. A chill rose from the bottom of their hearts.

This Senior clearly did not take them seriously. Dealing with Ye Cong Xin was as casual to her as crushing an ant.

Ye Cong Xin had brushed past death many times before, so even after the sharp pain hit, she barely managed to stay conscious.

Then she clearly heard the System cursing in a different voice.

[Lunatic, you are about to get me killed!]

This voice was unlike the System’s usual cold tone. It was soft, sinister, and wicked.

Strangely, Ye Cong Xin did not feel surprised.

Although the System always claimed it was not a living being but some high-tech product, Ye Cong Xin had always been delicate-minded and had long noticed that the System’s actions looked more like they were controlled by a person.

She had not exposed it, not because she believed it, but because she did not want to make the System wary of her.

At this moment, a blinding silver light suddenly burst out from inside her body and wrapped her up completely.

Then her whole body turned into an arrow, shooting straight toward the seven-colored vortex.

“Yu Zhao…” Even at this time, Ye Cong Xin did not forget to bring up Yu Zhao.

The System also seemed afraid that Ye Cong Xin would drag it down at this critical moment. It actually split off a small strand of silver light that coiled around Yu Zhao’s waist and pulled her toward the seven-colored vortex as well.

Yu Zhao had still been watching from the side and never thought this would involve her. Caught off guard, she was dragged away by the silver light.

“Impudent, you dare snatch someone from a Dao Lord Realm cultivator like me!” Dao Lord Tai Wei was furious.

She lifted her palm, and a strange force poured out.

Yu Zhao instantly felt dizzy. When she came back to her senses, she was shocked to find she was standing again in her original spot.

Ye Cong Xin stood opposite her, face full of terror.

[Time Reversal Technique? Another extension of the Reincarnation Art?]

Yu Zhao’s understanding of the Path of Reincarnation had only just entered the beginning stage. When she saw Dao Lord Tai Wei display magic arts related to it, she thought about it for a moment and became deeply absorbed.

“System!”

Ye Cong Xin’s terrified scream also helped the System make up its mind completely.

The Cultivation World was already no longer suitable for it to stay. Now that a teleportation channel had appeared at this moment, leaving really was the best choice.

Before everyone figured out what was happening, they suddenly noticed that Ye Cong Xin’s aura had changed sharply. A strange green flame spurted from her fingertips, flickering with a chilling light.

“Go!” She pointed forward with her fingertip.

The flickering green flame flew out from her fingertip and shot toward Dao Lord Tai Wei.

Its flight looked slow, but in fact it was so fast the naked eye could hardly follow it. In the blink of an eye, it reached Dao Lord Tai Wei.

Dao Lord Tai Wei let out a contemptuous smile. A streak of silver flashed through her eyes, and the green flame before her suddenly could not move forward even an inch.

Ye Cong Xin’s expression turned solemn. “Explode.”

The green flame exploded at her word and turned into several small flames that continued to pounce at Dao Lord Tai Wei.

Dao Lord Tai Wei’s expression finally showed a tiny change.

However, even now she still did not take Ye Cong Xin’s resistance to heart.

She unfolded the Reincarnation Art. The small flames flew backward, merged into one green flame again, then wobbled as it flew back toward Ye Cong Xin.

Ye Cong Xin’s red lips moved soundlessly.

“I win.”

Dao Lord Tai Wei’s heart tightened. She sensed that things were developing beyond her expectations and decisively prepared to close the seven-colored vortex.

Who would have thought the green flame would suddenly explode with a bang and turn into a mass of smoke.

The green smoke quickly spread across the training ground. Even though the others sealed their five senses in time, they still involuntarily inhaled a bit of the smoke, which seeped everywhere. They immediately lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

Dao Lord Tai Wei’s clone was only at the Divine Transformation cultivation level, so it was also affected by the poisonous fog. Her movements paused for a brief moment.

Yet it was during this brief pause that Ye Cong Xin seized her chance.

Her figure flickered and she plunged straight into the vortex.

Yu Zhao disappeared together with her.

Dao Lord Tai Wei had suffered a hidden loss because of her carelessness. How could she possibly accept this?

A fierce light flashed in her eyes as she angrily struck out with a palm.

A solid palm print shot into the vortex, and soon a muffled thunder-like sound came from within.

Creating a teleportation channel between two different star domains was extremely complicated.

Most importantly, a star domain passage was very fragile. If spirit power fluctuated too violently, it could easily trigger spatial turbulence.

Only by controlling one’s cultivation level down to the finest degree could one travel between two star domains.

Ye Cong Xin was a cultivator from a Lesser Thousand World who had never entered a star domain passage before. With the palm strike she had sent in, the passage would definitely partially collapse, and Ye Cong Xin would definitely be swallowed by the spatial turbulence.

Unless she was lucky enough to encounter a space rift and escape, she would surely die.

As for Yu Zhao, she could only blame her own bad luck.

Who told her to be in the passage as well?

There was no way she could let Ye Cong Xin go, so she could only sacrifice Yu Zhao.

Needlessly losing a disciple she was satisfied with put Dao Lord Tai Wei in a terrible mood.

She originally wanted to withdraw her consciousness and leave. But when she saw the unconscious cultivators and thought of the four people who were drifting outside the Cycle of Reincarnation, she changed her mind.

If she could not bring back her disciple, she should at least bring back some things of value.

…

“Ugh.”

Zhou Jin Yue let out a whimper and used a lot of effort just to barely open her eyes.

Then she was startled by a rough, weathered face looming over her.

“Master?”

“Jin Yue, you are finally awake! Quickly tell me, what happened to you all at the training ground? Why have Yu Zhao and Fang Cheng Lang and the others not returned? Where did they go!”

“Master, you mean Fang Cheng Lang and the others are missing too?”

It was natural for Yu Zhao not to be here, but how could Fang Cheng Lang and the others vanish as well?

“Yes, Fang Cheng Lang, Su Ming, Cui Jue, and Quan Ye have all not returned. Did they run into danger!”

Zhou Jin Yue’s eyes darkened. “This is bad! It was Ye Cong Xin!”
