#2737 - The Yellow Bird's Plot

The situation doesn't seem optimistic.

Inside the ship cabin, Jun Wushang and Mo Qingli were watching everything with their spiritual senses.

Floating World Three Thousand?

It was the first time Jun Wushang had heard this name.

Mo Qingli had never mentioned it when talking about the power structure of the Mixed Origin Great World.

Mo Qingli said that the era when Floating World Three Thousand dominated the world was too long ago, so much so that people had forgotten their existence.

She thought that Floating World Three Thousand would never reappear, and that this Dao lineage had been severed in that era.

She didn't expect that after countless ages, assassins from Floating World Three Thousand would appear again.

"Young Master Jun, Protector Zhou's situation looks very dangerous. Should we help him secretly?"

Mo Qingli was very worried. Judging from the current situation, Protector Zhou only had the power to protect himself and had no time to spare for anything else.

However, besides the assassins besieging Protector Zhou, other assassins from Floating World Three Thousand were also attacking the immortal ship's barrier.

Once the barrier was breached, the four deacons would lose their lives.

"No need. We just need to watch.

Although the Jinyun Immortal Sect might not have expected the assassins from Floating World Three Thousand to suddenly appear,

I believe they have ways to deal with it.

Regarding the Great Tomb Fortress, such an important matter, the Jinyun Immortal Sect only sent Protector Zhou and four deacons, and they all came from the Dao Academy.

Don't you think this is a bit illogical?"

"Indeed, it does seem a bit illogical.

People from top-tier Dao lineages don't usually act so carelessly.

They should have other backup plans, but after all, the ones who came are assassins from Floating World Three Thousand. I'm worried…"

"Don't worry. If it really comes to a desperate situation, I will help secretly.

But there's no need to do so now. Let's observe the situation."

"Yes, the Jinyun Immortal Sect probably doesn't want to escalate the situation and cause a conflict at the elder level, so they sent Protector Zhou to lead the team.

Since they didn't send elders, other top-tier Dao lineages will also follow this unwritten rule.

After all, top-tier Dao lineages basically maintain a delicate harmony and won't easily break it.

Protector Zhou, although he's a protector of the Dao Academy, his strength is very strong. He should be one of the top figures among the protectors."

Jun Wushang nodded, "Your analysis is correct. As expected of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect's heir.

Protector Zhou is not only strong, but he should also have trump cards on him.

The stronger assassins from Floating World Three Thousand haven't appeared yet.

These assassins are quite cautious.

Judging from the current situation, our side is clearly on the verge of collapse. With just a little more external force, the entire situation would instantly crumble.

But that strongest assassin has been hiding in the shadows."

Hearing this, Mo Qingli couldn't help but be startled and hurriedly strengthened her spiritual sense perception.

But she still couldn't find where the unrevealed assassin was hiding.

"Don't bother trying. The assassins from Floating World Three Thousand practice very profound concealment techniques. You won't be able to find him."

"What kind of concealment technique can achieve such a level?

Although my current realm is low, my soul is at the Origin realm."

Mo Qingli was shocked.

What realm were the assassins who came this time?

It was known that the assassins who were assassinating Protector Zhou were only in the Chaos realm. Even if the hidden assassin who hadn't made a move was a Primordial realm expert, that was still a big realm away from the Origin realm.

No matter how strong the concealment technique was, it shouldn't be to the point where her Origin realm soul couldn't sense it.

"It should be a fragmented version of a technique called the Great Void Concealment Art from the Beginningless Era.

The founder of Floating World Three Thousand doesn't seem to be simple, or rather, he once had a great opportunity and obtained the incomplete scroll of the Great Void Concealment Art from somewhere.

The fragmented Great Void Concealment Art is much more profound than the Minor Void Art I practice.

Of course, I'm referring to the original Minor Void Art, not the Minor Void Art after I modified and strengthened it.

This technique, coupled with their constant practice of assassination techniques, and the influence of the great battle's fluctuations over a certain distance, it's normal that you can't sense him.

Also, that assassin is not a Primordial realm expert, but has the same realm as Protector Zhou, the peak of the Chaos realm.

But he's clearly much stronger than Elder Zhou. The immortal power in his body is quite dense, several times more than Protector Zhou's."

"The ancient books record that the assassins of Floating World Three Thousand all possess outstanding talent. Seeing them today, it's indeed true.

The ones they sent out today shouldn't be the strongest trump card assassins of this realm, but they already have such strength.

Those few assassins who assassinated Protector Zhou, although they are also in the Chaos realm, they have only just entered the Chaos realm.

They can actually make the peak Chaos realm Protector Zhou unable to spare any attention and only able to protect himself.

If Protector Zhou doesn't have any trump cards, once the hidden peak Chaos realm assassin launches an attack, he will definitely be able to kill him with one strike.

I don't know what he's waiting for. Could it be that he guessed that Protector Zhou still has trump cards on him?"

Speaking of this, Mo Qingli saw Jun Wushang gently shaking his head, and she said again: "Could it be that he's afraid of being a mantis and making a wedding dress for others?"

"That's right. That possibility is greater. Of course, it can't be ruled out that he's guarding against Protector Zhou's trump cards, but more likely he's afraid of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

After all, other top-tier Dao lineages will definitely have people following along to White Sand Ancient Town this time.

Those people from the top-tier Dao lineages haven't appeared. It's definitely not because they've returned to their respective immortal sects. It's more likely that they're secretly following behind.

Looking at Protector Zhou, he also seems to be fishing.

I don't know if he knows that there are assassins hiding, but at least he knows that there are people from top-tier Dao lineages lurking in the dark."

"But now our immortal ship's barrier is about to break.

When the time comes, the four deacons will face mortal danger. How will Protector Zhou lure out the people in the dark?"

"Don't worry. They won't break the barrier so easily."

As Jun Wushang spoke, he flicked his fingers and quickly engraved Primordial Talismans in the void.

One by one, golden talismans were quickly imprinted on the hull of the ship.

The immortal ship's barrier didn't seem to change, but its toughness suddenly became much stronger.

Its self-repair ability also became stronger.

Every time it was attacked by an assassin, many cracks would appear on the barrier.

Previously, those cracks were repaired very slowly, and it looked like they were about to spread to the entire barrier.

But at this time, the repair speed of the cracks on the barrier suddenly became faster, making the defense that was about to spread to the entire barrier and about to collapse suddenly become stable.

Protector Zhou couldn't help but be startled.

What's going on? The immortal ship's defense suddenly became stronger?

This repair speed is actually so fast, several times faster than before.

He was very shocked, but also secretly happy.

Originally, he was a little anxious. If this continued, he would soon be unable to hide and would have to reveal his true strength.

Now that the immortal ship's defense ability has been improved, those few assassins will not be able to break through it in a short time.

If there are still enemies hiding in the dark, they might not be able to sit still. Would they take action?

When the time comes, he can use his trump card to wipe them all out.

Moreover, he felt that the assassins from Floating World Three Thousand were also strange.

According to Floating World Three Thousand's style of doing things, they shouldn't have only sent this level of assassins.

Especially since it was their first shot in countless ages.

Could it be that there are even stronger assassins hiding in the dark who haven't made a move?

That assassin also wants to be the oriole, so he's holding back and hasn't made a move. First, he's guarding against himself having trump cards, and second, he wants to lure out those who are acting as the oriole behind?

Protector Zhou still pretended to be angry and anxious.

Several assassins from Floating World Three Thousand appeared and disappeared unpredictably, constantly launching assassinations against him.

Every time it looked extremely dangerous, but every time he was able to avoid it.

The battle situation entered a stalemate.

For a time, no one could do anything to anyone.

At this time, the assassin hiding in the dark had a very ugly expression.

He didn't expect the target to be so troublesome.

The few assassins have been besieging for so long without any substantial progress, and the immortal ship's defensive power has suddenly strengthened, making it difficult to break through in a short time.

If this stalemate continues, those who want to be the oriole will probably not take action.

This won't do.

Although the immortal ship's speed has been affected and reduced a lot,

But no matter what, the immortal ship is still flying.

The farther away from the ancient town, the more variables there will be, and the longer the time is delayed, the more variables there will be.

After all, other top-tier Dao lineages have also received the news.

They are farther away from White Sand Ancient Town, and the time it takes for them to arrive will be relatively late.

If this delay continues, those top-tier Dao lineages that are rushing over might just happen to meet and join in.

When that time comes, the situation will become even more complicated, and it will probably not be so easy to complete the task and achieve the goal.

He must think of a way to make those who are waiting to be the oriole jump out as soon as possible.

… …

At the same time, someone from a top-tier Dao lineage secretly following the immortal ship also had a very ugly expression.

From the moment they left White Sand Ancient Town, they had been waiting for an opportunity.

However, they had not waited until this moment.

How could that Protector Zhou from the Jinyun Immortal Sect be so strong?

He's just a protector of the Dao Academy.

This kind of strength was completely beyond their expectations.

Even the assassins from Floating World Three Thousand have been besieging for so long without being able to do anything to him.

Floating World Three Thousand's strategy of attacking his immortal ship has also failed.

That immortal ship's defense is too strong, and its self-repair ability is simply terrifying.

Protector Zhou actually has such a treasure, making their eyes burn with envy.

"Protector, if this continues, when will we be able to wait for an opportunity?

The longer the time, the more variables there will be."

"Do I need you to remind me?

We have no other choice but to wait.

Protector Zhou, the immortal ship, and the assassins from Floating World Three Thousand, do you think we can take advantage of them if we take action before they are both injured?

If that happens, not only will they fail to achieve their goals, but they will also damage the harmony between the two great orthodoxies, causing conflicts!

It would be all disadvantage and no advantage; only a fool would do that!

I just hope they get injured soon and stop this stalemate!”

A top-tier force's protector, who was secretly following them, said.

They came from the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, which is also a force in Yu Province.

Like the Jinyun Immortal Sect, the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect is a top-tier orthodoxy in the southwestern region of Yu Province.

The difference is that the Jinyun Immortal Sect is located west of southwestern Yu Province, while the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect is located east of southwestern Yu Province.

This time, they sent two Protector-level experts, along with several sect masters.
