Chapter 1229: Call for Help!

"

Hahaha!

"

Zuo Lou burst into wild laughter. He had suspected something was off about the three Divine Attendants, leading him to believe they weren't in their original bodies. This was precisely why he had decisively stood on their side.

And the scene before him proved that he had gambled correctly...

The bold bet would ensure the Zuo Lou clan's prosperity for countless millennia.

Pan Ling's face lit up with excitement. She had also made the correct bet!

The Genesis Daoist Temple wasn't as simple as it appeared!

Who could have expected that the three Divine Attendants who appeared earlier weren't even their true forms?

Since their avatars were in the Supreme Ancestor Realm, how terrifying were their true forms?

Pan Ling's excitement was mixed with relief. Thankfully, she had made her decision to align with them earlier. Had she waited until now, it would have been adding flowers to a brocade rather than delivering help in a crisis.

The reappearance of the three Divine Attendants brought a completely different aura. Just their oppressive energy alone made Supreme Ancestors like Zuo Lou and Huai Hou struggle to withstand it. Those of lesser strength were already forced on the ground, unable to bear the pressure of the three Divine Attendant's Great Dao.

Even Ye Guan felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

He hadn't expected that the three Divine Attendants he had fought earlier were merely avatars.

Ye Guan's cultivation base suddenly disappeared.

The power of his dual bloodlines also vanished.

My cultivation is gone!

Ye Guan's expression darkened.

Time's up. Misfortune never really comes alone!

Not far away, Ye An turned to glance at Ye Guan, frowning. "Your cultivation is gone?"

Ye Guan nodded.

Ye An stared at him, her expression growing stern. "Did you come here just to mess with me?"

Ye Guan froze, unsure how to respond.

Ye An snorted coldly. "If I can't win, I'll run for it."

Ye Guan smiled wryly. "Big Sister..."

Ye An turned to the three Divine Attendants' true forms in the distance and muttered y, "If I can't win, I'm really going to make a run for it."

Both Ye Guan and Ye An had relatively lower cultivation realms. Challenging Supreme Ancestors was already extraordinary. But now, facing three true forms with power far exceeding Supreme Ancestors, even standing a chance against one was questionable, let alone all three.

Ye An was already prepared to flee.

Meanwhile, another figure was watching from the shadows—Shikigami, the captain of the Shikigami Mercenary Group. He had arrived some time ago but chose not to intervene, observing quietly instead.

An elder stood beside him.

Shikigami was surprised to see the Divine Attendants' true forms.

The elder beside him asked in a deep voice, "Leader, should we step in now?"

Shikigami glanced at Ye Guan and Ye An and shook his head.

The elder looked puzzled.

Shikigami chuckled. "Didn't you notice? Despite all that's happened, the people backing those two siblings still haven't shown up."

The elder frowned. "Do you think their backers are stronger than the Genesis Daoist Temple?"

Shikigami replied calmly, "What if they are?"

Shikigami continued, studying Ye Guan and Ye An closely. "Look at those two siblings. Even with the true forms of Divine Attendants before them, they've shown no fear."

The elder froze, taking a closer look at Ye Guan and Ye An. Their expressions weren't great, but their eyes indeed lacked any hint of fear.

Shikigami smiled faintly. "Things are getting more interesting."

Divine Attendant Yu standing at the helm stared at Ye Guan. "Weren't you so full of yourself earlier? Come on, let's go again."

Ye Guan moved to stand beside Ye An. "Big Sister, you're up."

Ye An shot him a glare. "Call for help!"

"There's no one to call. Why don't you try?"

Ye An flatly refused. "I won't."

"Why not?"

"I promised our mother that I'd make a name for myself with my own strength."

Ye Guan said seriously, "I promised Aunt I'd complete this mission with my own abilities."

The siblings fell silent.

Just then, Divine Attendant Pei remarked, "His cultivation base has disappeared."

Everyone turned their attention to Ye Guan, startled. They quickly realized Divine Attendant Pei was correct—Ye Guan's cultivation was indeed gone.

What's going on?

The crowd was confused.

Divine Attendant Yu scrutinized Ye Guan and asked, "What trick are you playing?"

Ye Guan remained silent, knowing his sister couldn't defeat these three Divine Attendants in their true forms. Escape wasn't an option either. Even if he still had his cultivation, they wouldn't stand a chance.

Suddenly, Ye Guan turned to the Zang Gang nearby.

The priority is to complete the mission! Completing it will not only summon Aunt but also restore my cultivation and light up the last square on the Qingxuan Sword.

Ye Guan hurried to Zang Gang.

Zang Gang opened her eyes briefly to glance at him before closing them again. She continued absorbing the Mad Demon Bloodline from Ye An.

Ye Guan spoke gravely, "Do you remember anything yet?"

Zang Gang opened her eyes and replied, "A little..."

Ye Guan froze slightly.

Zang Gang continued. "If you give me more blood, I might remember more."

Ye Guan's face darkened. "Are you just trying to scam me for blood?"

Zang Gang earnestly asked back, "How could that be?"

Ye Guan hesitated, clearly conflicted.

Seeing his hesitation, Zang Gang hurriedly said, "I mean it! Give me more blood!"

As she spoke, she licked the fresh blood on her lips.

After a moment of silence, Ye Guan sighed. "Fine."

Without hesitation, he sliced his palm open and held it out to Zang Gang.

Zang Gang's eyes lit up at the sight of his blood. She eagerly grabbed his hand and began to drink voraciously.

Little Pagoda asked, "Do you really trust her?"

Ye Guan replied helplessly, "If not her, who else can I trust?"

On the other side, Divine Attendant Yu glanced at Zang Gang and Ye Guan, frowning slightly. "What is he doing?"

"Kill them first, then we'll talk." As Divine Attendant Pei spoke, she took a step forward, and an overwhelming Great Dao aura swept across the field.

At that moment, Ye An suddenly stepped in front of Divine Attendant Pei and took on a defensive stance with her spear. A powerful bloodline force surged forth, accompanied by mighty spear energy.

Boom!

Their powers collided, and Ye An was forced back hundreds of meters away.

Divine Attendant Pei gazed at Ye An and stepped forward again. Instantly, an oppressive force engulfed Ye An, leaving her breathless, as if a mountain pressed upon her chest.

Despite the crushing aura, Ye An gripped her spear tightly, her eyes brimming with battle intent.

"Die!"

Ye An roared furiously, unleashing a surge of terrifying bloodline power and spear force, pushing back Divine Attendant Pei's overwhelming force.

Seeing this, Divine Attendant Pei's eyes narrowed slightly. "Impressive."

She disappeared in a flash.

Ye An's pupils contracted sharply as she thrust her spear forward.

Bang!

Her spear light shattered, and she was flung thousands of meters back. Before she could recover, she found herself trapped in a strange and pitch-black spacetime region.

It was an endless void of blackness, timeless and deathly silent.

Zou Lou's eyes widened in disbelief. "T-t-that's the legendary Oblivion Spacetime!"

He had only heard legends of it—a unique spacetime of eternal darkness and silence where time ceased to exist. A moment there could feel like an eternity—it was a cruel torment.

After banishing Ye An into the Oblivion Spacetime, Divine Attendant Pei muttered, "Oblivion God, I want you to make sure that she stays there for eternity until her will is completely eradicated."

An aged voice echoed from within the Oblivion Spacetime. "As you wish."

Divine Attendant Pei turned her attention back to Ye Guan, who was still feeding his blood to Zang Gang. By now, Ye Guan felt like fainting.

Divine Attendant Pei stared at Ye Guan. "Ye Guan, I know the person backing you isn't ordinary. After all, they can reverse time and resurrect the dead. Let them show themselves."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Ye Guan, curious about the mysterious force supporting him.

Ignoring Divine Attendant Pei, Ye Guan looked at Zang Gang. "Have you had enough?"

Zang Gang took a deep breath and blinked. "Just a little more!"

Ye Guan's voice trembled. "Come on, if you take any more, I'll be drained dry."

Zang Gang hastily replied, "Don't be so stingy. Just a tiny bit more..."

As she spoke, she clung to Ye Guan's arm and continued to absorb his blood.

Ye Guan was on the brink of despair. If he didn't die at the hands of the Genesis Daoist Temple, he'd surely be drained to death by Zang Gang.

Divine Attendant Pei suddenly looked around, and her frown deepened when she sensed no presence of any other powerful figures.

The other Divine Attendants beside her were also puzzled. Given their strength, they should have detected anyone hiding in the shadows.

Divine Attendant Yu spoke in a low voice. "Could it be that his backer doesn't care about him?"

"That's an easy test." Divine Attendant Pei fixed her gaze on Ye Guan. She took a step forward, unleashing a terrifying force aimed directly at Ye Guan and Zang Gang.

Even if Ye Guan still had his cultivation base, he wouldn't be able to defend himself.

Faced with the terrifying attack, Ye Guan closed his eyes. "Father, if I die, please make the Great Daoist Brush Master accompany me in the afterlife."

"What the fuck?!" From an unknown starfield, a furious roar echoed. "What's this got to do with me, you little punk!"

***

Just as the oppressive force reached Ye Guan, Zang Gang raised her head and pointed at the oncoming attack.

Boom!

The attack was annihilated.

A sinister smile suffused Zang Gang's lips, and it was a smile so wicked that it could send chills down anyone's spine.
