Chapter 2225
byOutside the palace, on the plain, Gao Xueting, with the cultivation base of the First-Order Emperor Venerable Realm, faced Granny You of the Third-Order Emperor Venerable Realm, but she was fearless.
She brushed the hair beside her ear and said calmly, “Granny, how about this matter ends here？”
Granny You was slightly taken aback when she heard this, but she soon burst into laughter and shouted sharply, “Little girl, who do you think you are talking to？”
“Of course, I’m talking to you, Granny.” Gao Xueting remained unmoved, and her expression was still cold. “If you promise to end this matter here, maybe the Hall Master will be lenient and not make things difficult for you. But if you persist in your own way… Granny, I have known you for hundreds of years. Although you are not a member of my Divine Hall, there is still some affection. There are some things that I don’t want to do too extremely.”
“Are you threatening me？” Granny You’s face turned fierce, and her voice also became sharp.
Gao Xueting shook her head and said, “Mother-in-law is an elder, and Xueting doesn’t dare to threaten you. It’s just that Xueting has been ordered by the Palace Master to bring several disciples to train in this Divine Travel Mirror and must ensure their safety. No one can harm them, not even you, mother-in-law… not even you！”
“Heheh…” Mother-in-law You laughed loudly. “The little girl has little strength but a big tone. Do you think you can do anything to this old woman with your skills? If it weren’t still for the fact that you’ve been quite obedient over the years do you think this old woman would talk to you nicely?
“Mother-in-law, do you still remember that when Xueting was young, she secretly brought you food？” Gao Xueting suddenly mentioned the past.
Mother-in-law You’s face suddenly turned cold, and she said coldly, “Why mention those things.”
Involuntarily, a look of reminiscence crossed her eyes, and the violent expression on her face softened slightly for a moment.
“Xueting truly hopes that mother-in-law can stop here！” Gao Xueting sighed slightly.
“Impossible！” The coldness in Mother-in-law You’s eyes reappeared, and she said coldly, “This old woman has waited for so many years and finally has a glimmer of hope. Do you think this old woman will give up just because of your few words？ Daydreaming.”
Gao Xueting furrowed her brows and said, “I don’t know what you are waiting for, Granny, or what hope you have, but… must you really do this？ For eight hundred years, although you have never entered the Divine Temple, I have long regarded you as one of the people in the Divine Temple. You are also an elder of mine. I really… don’t want to take action against you！”
“Cut the crap.” Granny You also lost her patience and shouted sharply, “Either you get out of the way immediately, or I will take action and suppress and kill you. You choose the two paths yourself.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s expression couldn’t help but become tense.
Although Gao Xueting was also considered a strong person, in front of someone like Granny You, Yang Kai estimated that she was definitely no match. If Gao Xueting was implicated because of him, he would also feel guilty.
“Sigh!” Gao Xueting suddenly let out a deep sigh. Staring at Granny You, she said, “Granny, the Hall Master has long known that you have always held a grudge against him and been about the battle back then. But even so, he still feels at ease to let me lead the team into this not worried that you will grasp the vital points. Do you think this is why?
As soon as these words came out, Granny You’s face changed slightly, and she furrowed her brows and fell into thought.
Gao Xueting continued, “Over the years, quite a number of disciples from the Divine Temple who came to the Divine Wander Mirror for training have died because of you. However, the Hall Master didn’t pursue your responsibility and just defaulted it as a kind of test for the disciples. One reason is that you didn’t make a move yourself. Even if you dispatched your subordinates, you only sent some warriors with comparable strength to them, which is indeed a test for them. The second reason is that the Hall Master feels guilty towards you. After all, the Divine Wander Mirror was discovered by you. Although he didn’t take it by force, he indeed regarded it as the most precious capital of the Divine Temple and repeatedly let the disciples enter this place for training.”
“Wen Zishan feels guilty towards this old woman？” Old You suddenly sneered again and again. “That kind of person whose conscience has been eaten by dogs would be like this？ It’s simply ridiculous！”
Gao Xueting said indifferently, “So the Hall Master has ordered that this method should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary！ Because he sincerely hopes that the Divine Wander Mirror will always be guarded by you, old man.”
“What method？” Old You’s face suddenly became tense, staring at Gao Xueting with a pair of eyes.
But Gao Xueting didn’t answer her. She just quickly formed seals with her hands and said, “Don’t worry, old woman. I have already informed the Hall Master of the matter here through secret techniques. He should be waiting quietly in the karst cave at this moment. When your soul returns, you can have a detailed talk with him.”
As she finished speaking, her hands supported each other obliquely, and a circle of light bloomed between her hands. She gently pushed forward, and the light shot straight towards Granny You.
This ball of light clearly had no lethality and did not pose the slightest threat, but after seeing this ball of light, Granny You’s complexion changed drastically, and she exclaimed in horror： “No！”
As she spoke, she actually turned around and fled like a rat, trying to escape from this place.
But her speed was fast, and the speed of that light was even faster. In an instant, it hit her body and melted into her soul.
The next moment, an inexplicable force surged up. Above Granny You’s head, a vortex appeared strangely. The vortex rotated, emitting a huge pulling force, trying to suck Granny You away.
And naturally, Granny You was not willing to sit still and wait for death. In anger, she let out a hysterical roar, and an extremely pure soul energy leisurely shot out, straight towards Gao Xueting.
Gao Xueting’s complexion changed drastically.
Granny You’s desperate blow was obviously the burst of all her strength and it was simply not something she could contend with. There was only one way to avoid it.
But just as she wanted to avoid it, a fluttering figure suddenly appeared in mid-air. The figure was an old man, with a celestial appearance and white hair and beard. There was nothing remarkable about him from head to toe. If he hadn’t taken the initiative to show up, none of the people present could have detected his existence at all.
As soon as this old man appeared leisurely, he waved his sleeve.
A gentle force spread out, resolving the soul impact of You Po’s blow into nothingness.
“You…” You Po widened her eyes, looking at the old man with a look of disbelief on her face, as if seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
And just at this moment, the power transmitted by the vortex above her head finally couldn’t be resisted. Amid her unwilling roar, her figure was sucked into it. Immediately afterwards, the vortex also suddenly disappeared, and You Po’s figure vanished without a trace as well.
Yang Kai watched this scene, his mind turning rapidly deep inside.
You Po’s physical body should have been tampered with by Wen Zishan. Maybe some secret technique was planted in it, and he taught the method of using this secret technique to Gao Xueting.
Once this secret technique is performed, You Po’s physical body will actively suck back the soul.
This also led to the scene in front of them. After being hit by that secret technique, You Po, who was at the Third-Order Emperor Senior Realm level, simply couldn’t continue to stay in the world of the Divine Wanderer Mirror.
Although this was just Yang Kai’s speculation, it should be close to the truth. After all, only when the connection between the physical body and the divine soul is inseparable, and the only thing that can attract You Po’s divine soul is her own physical body.
And while Yang Kai was speculating, Gao Xueting was looking at the suddenly appeared old man with a face full of suspicion.
She released her spiritual thoughts, but when she came into contact with the old man, she was horrified to find that the other party didn’t exist at all. In other words, her spiritual thoughts couldn’t detect the other party’s trace.
This discovery made Gao Xueting’s face suddenly become solemn.
Because even for people like You Po and Wen Zishan, with her current cultivation level, if she released her spiritual thoughts, she could still detect a little bit of the other party’s. But facing this old man, she actually encountered such a situation for the first time.
In this situation, there is only one explanation – this old man’s cultivation is higher than that of You Po and Wen Zishan！
The former two are already at the Third—Order Emperor Venerable Realm. An existence higher than them has a special title in this world — Great Emperor！
In the world of the Divine Wanderer Mirror, there is actually a Great Emperor！
This kind of thing, Wen Zishan never told her. Maybe even Wen Zishan didn’t know about it.
Gao Xueting solemnly saluted and said, “Junior Gao Xueting, greets senior！”
“Hmm！” The old man nodded slightly.
“Senior… are you in the same group as Granny？” Gao Xueting asked again.
Yang Kai turned his head with a strange expression and looked at Gao Xueting. Suddenly, he found that this cold and frost-like Elder Gao actually had such a cute side.
If the other party was in the same group as Granny You, there would be no need to take action to help her just now. She would have been subdued long ago, and there would be no chance for her to cast a secret spell?
“No.” The old man slowly shook his head.
“Junior thanks senior for the life-saving grace just now. I just don’t know senior…” Gao Xueting asked tentatively. Although she didn’t feel the slightest hostility from this old man, the opponent’s extraordinary cultivation made her dare not be the slightest bit negligent, for fear of accidentally provoking the other party.
If that were the case, even if Wen Zishan came in person, he would not be able to save her.
“I came here…” The old man said, his gaze turning to Yang Kai, and then continued： “It’s for him！”
“For me?” Yang Kai had a look of astonishment on his face.
Gao Xueting’s expression was also slightly wonderful. She turned her head and looked at Yang Kai, wondering what was so special about him that even the Great Emperor would come here to meet him.
Because as far as she knew, Yang Kai was the first time to enter the Divine Wanderer Mirror. Before that, he didn’t even know the existence of this strange treasure. If it was said that the two knew each other before, it was also impossible.
Calming her mind, Gao Xueting asked again： “Dare to ask senior, what is the matter with looking for him？”
The old man smiled slightly, his expression kind, and said, “Don’t worry, this old man won’t make things difficult for him. I just want to take him away for a few days. There are some things that require his help, and I will send him away from this place later.”
Gao Xueting’s beautiful eyebrows raised, and she said in surprise, “Leave this place… What do you know, senior？”
The old man’s words “leave this place” obviously revealed some extraordinary information.
The old man smiled and said, “This old man can slightly peek at some scenes outside and also know that you are not from this place!
Yang Kai’s expression shook when he heard this！
That Yi Quan knew that this was the world of the Divine Wanderer Mirror was because Wen Zishan let it slip after drinking, and told him, but this old man was able to spy on the outside world by his own ability.
This shows that the old man’s strength has truly reached the Great Emperor level. Only with such strength can one see through the power of the interface, penetrate the false and the real, and freely travel with one’s divine sense to probe the outside scene.
