Upon seeing this spell, the elder's face changed: "Why does this spell seem so familiar? Could it be her?"
Almost in the next second, the elder's figure flickered and appeared in front of the crowd, coldly saying, "Where did this spell come from?"
The crowd was stunned.
Why is this elder suddenly concerned about the spell?
"Tell me immediately!"
With just a slight hesitation from the crowd, the elder coldly shouted, and a huge wave of Spiritual Breath crashed down, pressing everyone firmly.
"Elder, I killed Wu Xian and the others. If you have any issues, come at me!"
With a clang, Yang Tian drew the Holy Sword.
"Of course, but before that, you must answer me immediately, where did this spell come from?"
The elder shouted in a deep voice.
"It's none of your business!"
Since a fight was inevitable, Yang Tian naturally didn't hold a pleasant attitude.
"Courting death!"
The elder shouted harshly, ready to strike, but at that moment, Young Lady Yaoyao quickly raised her voice and said, "I am the one who cast this spell."
"You?"
The elder turned his head and looked at Young Lady Yaoyao.
The elder used his Divine Sense to probe Young Lady Yaoyao, then coldly said, "You're just a little fox from the Fox Race, unworthy of casting such a spell! Daring to lie to me is courting death!"
Feeling the elder's killing intent, Yang Tian stood in front of Young Lady Yaoyao and said, "Elder, this spell emanated from a coffin."
"A coffin? Could it be her?"
The elder was shocked, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Observing the elder's surprise, a trace of doubt flashed in Yang Tian's eyes: Could it be that this elder knows the peerless beauty in the coffin?
This spell indeed emanated from an ice crystal coffin.
Upon seeing this spell, the elder's expression changed dramatically.
It's highly likely that the elder knows about the spell and the peerless beauty inside the coffin.
"Tell me immediately, where is this coffin?"
The elder asked coldly.
"Do you want to obtain that coffin?"
Yang Tian sneered inwardly, suspecting that the elder truly knows the peerless beauty within the coffin.
"Yang..."
Seeing that Yang Tian was about to reveal the matter of the ice crystal coffin, Young Lady Yaoyao panicked.
"Yaoyao, don't worry..."
Yang Tian intended to comfort Young Lady Yaoyao but then considered that the peerless beauty inside the ice crystal coffin might be related by blood to the Fox Race and Young Lady Yaoyao. Revealing the coffin might harm Young Lady Yaoyao.
"Stop playing tricks in front of me!"
The elder coldly shouted, a powerful wave of Spiritual Breath surged out, pressing down hard on everyone.
Everyone was immobilized at once.
"Grandpa, you are the Guardian of this continent, we're here looking for Magical Treasures, why are you attacking us?"
Wang Yue anxiously said.
"I want you to tell me where that coffin is!"
The Continent Guardian said coldly.
Young Lady Yaoyao's face turned pale, biting her lip, her eyes full of worry.
Yang Tian glanced at Young Lady Yaoyao, then unleashed a sacred Sword Aura, charging towards the elder: "Enough talking, let's fight directly!"
"Courting death!"
The elder was furious, and a massive Dharma Seal descended from the sky, striking towards Yang Tian.
Swish!
Yang Tian swung the Holy Sword, shattering the massive Dharma Seal into pieces.
"What kind of Magical Treasure is this? It actually broke my Dharma Seal?"
The elder's face was suddenly stunned, landing on the ground, he stared tightly at the Holy Sword in Yang Tian's hand.
"This wasn't found here."
Yang Tian said faintly.
The elder remained silent, using his Divine Sense to probe the Holy Sword, and then, surprisingly, said: "This is the Holy Sword!"
"You know about the Holy Sword too?"
Yang Tian frowned.
Logically speaking, the Holy Sword is the treasure of the Martial Dynasty, how does this elder, a creature from the Abyss of the Dark Land, know about the Holy Sword of the Martial Dynasty?
"It really is the Holy Sword!"
Upon hearing Yang Tian's doubts, the elder confirmed that what Yang Tian held was indeed the Holy Sword, suddenly, his expression showed some apprehension.
"Grandpa, we promise never to kill again in the future, please let us go!"
Wang Yue, being clever, seeing the elder's apprehensive expression, quickly called out "Grandpa" to soften him up.
"Hmph!"
The elder coldly snorted.
He lifted his hand in the void, and a massive wave of Spiritual Breath emerged, like a giant hand, crackling as it absorbed all the spell waves.
"Although I don't know how you came by this Holy Sword, nor where you discovered this spell, you have broken my rules by killing, and now I shall punish you!"
Bang!
The elder swung his arm forcefully.
The absorbed spell waves surged and struck towards Young Lady Yaoyao.
Crackle!
The spell waves hit Young Lady Yaoyao.
"What are you doing!"
Yang Tian's face darkened. He flashed to Young Lady Yaoyao's side, helping her up, but he found that her face was very pale and her whole body was cold. The curse inscriptions on her body were spreading continuously.
"This little girl obstructed my work; this is her punishment!"
The elder said coldly.
"You're simply courting death!"
Yang Tian clenched his fist, looked up coldly at the elder in mid-air.
"Boy, if it weren't for the Holy Sword in your hand, I would have dealt with you a long time ago. You're just here to search for Magical Treasures. I am the Guardian of this continent. This time, I'll let you go; don't break the rules I set next time!"
The elder snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he disappeared without a trace.
Yang Tian was just about to chase after him but was held tightly by Young Lady Yaoyao.
Young Lady Yaoyao's face was pale. She shook her head, "Yang, forget it..."
Feeling Young Lady Yaoyao's weakness, Yang Tian circulated his Spiritual Breath and sent it into her body, but he frowned. This Spiritual Breath could not dispel the curse inscriptions on her body. Instead, the inscriptions were stimulated and began to boil, starting from her arm and spreading out.
Young Lady Yaoyao's face became even paler.
Yet she neither cried nor made a fuss. She just sat there staring blankly ahead, lost in thought.
"Yaoyao, your body is so cold..."
Yang Tian held Young Lady Yaoyao's arm, feeling the piercing cold.
"This elder did it on purpose!" Wang Ying suddenly said, "The reason he placed the curse on Yaoyao was probably to find out where the ice crystal coffin is. This elder is determined to find the ice crystal coffin. He probably knows the woman inside the coffin. I believe he will return soon!"
Yang Tian agreed with Wang Ying's view.
The so-called punishment was nothing more than wanting to know where the ice crystal coffin was.
But looking at Young Lady Yaoyao's pale face, Yang Tian felt as if his heart was being cut. He activated his Divine Sense to probe her body and then cast a Serenity Divine Talisman on her arm. He breathed a sigh of relief as the curse inscriptions on her arm quieted down.
"Big sister, how are you feeling?"
Wang Yue hurriedly asked when she saw the curse inscriptions stop spreading on Young Lady Yaoyao.
Young Lady Yaoyao did not reply. Instead, she tore off the Serenity Divine Talisman that Yang Tian had applied, and instantly, the inscriptions began to boil again and spread across her body.
"Yaoyao, what are you doing?"
Yang Tian showed a trace of puzzlement in his eyes.
Why did Young Lady Yaoyao tear off the Serenity Divine Talisman? What was she trying to do?
Yang Tian didn't dwell on it and instead applied another Serenity Divine Talisman with a slap to her arm. However, Young Lady Yaoyao tried to tear it off again, which puzzled Yang Tian even more. He directly held the talisman firmly and said forcefully, "Yaoyao, I don't know what you're trying to do, but you cannot tear off this talisman!"
"But I want to tear it off and let the inscriptions spread..."
Young Lady Yaoyao said quietly.
"I said you can't tear it off, so you can't!"
Yang Tian said forcefully.
"Yang, are you concerned about me?"
Young Lady Yaoyao suddenly asked.
"Of course, I am! I'm worried you won't be able to bear the damage from the inscriptions!"
Yang Tian could clearly feel the coldness that the inscriptions brought, which even he couldn't endure, let alone Young Lady Yaoyao.
"Alright then, I'll listen to you and not tear it off..."
Young Lady Yaoyao nodded and stuck the Serenity Divine Talisman to her arm.
"That's better!" Yang Tian nodded, stood up, glanced at everyone, and then said, "Let's leave here now, I always feel that the elder will soon come back for us."
Then, everyone started walking towards the forest.
Only Yang Tian did not notice that behind him, Young Lady Yaoyao glanced at his figure and secretly tore off the Serenity Divine Talisman on her arm.
Instantly, the inscriptions started spreading across her body again.
But Yang Tian knew none of this...
As everyone walked into the forest, no one knew how long had passed before Yang Tian suddenly stopped.
"There is a Holy Light from a treasure ahead; let's go and take a look!"
Yang Tian led everyone forward, quickly arriving at a steep cliff, overlooking down to see a vast Spirit Lake.
"Big brother, where's the treasure? Why can't I feel any fluctuation of the Holy Light?"
Wang Yue asked urgently.
Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe into the Spirit Lake, shook his head, "This Spirit Lake is somewhat weird, the Holy Light just now wasn't emitted by a treasure. Instead, it's the lake water from the Spirit Lake giving off light. This Spirit Lake is big; there may be treasures inside, but I suggest not going down. Even if there are treasures, they're only Human Dao treasures, and the Spirit Lake is strange; it's not safe to go down!"
Saying this, Yang Tian waved his hand and led everyone to walk out of the forest.
But halfway through, Yang Tian suddenly sensed something, saying, "Everyone stop, I feel a familiar aura fluctuation!"
"What's going on?"
Wang Yue stopped and asked in confusion.
"This familiar aura fluctuation seems to be from the inscriptions on Yaoyao!" Saying this, Yang Tian looked around but found that Young Lady Yaoyao's figure was not there. He instinctively asked, "Where's Yaoyao?"
"Ah..."
Everyone was shocked, looked around, and found that Young Lady Yaoyao had already disappeared.
In the sky, a powerful Spirit Breath Wave suddenly surged in.
Yang Tian was full of confusion, "This Spirit Breath is from the inscriptions, but didn't I already stop the inscriptions with the Serenity Divine Talisman on Yaoyao?"
Everyone's expression changed slightly, as they realized something.
Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to explore the surroundings and quickly found that the fluctuation of the inscription's Spirit Breath was coming from near the cliff. His figure flashed, and he hurried towards the cliff.
"Big brother, wait for us..."
Wang Yue and others quickly chased after him.
Soon, everyone arrived at the cliff and saw Young Lady Yaoyao standing there, looking up at the sky, motionless.
On Young Lady Yaoyao's body, the inscriptions had already spread over her entire body.
Seeing this, everyone drew in a cold breath.
"Yaoyao, didn't I tell you to keep the Serenity Divine Talisman on? Why did you tear it off again?"
Yang Tian said anxiously.
He flipped his hand, quickly closed his eyes, circulated his Spiritual Breath, and quickly refined a Serenity Divine Talisman.
But at this moment, Wang Ying's exclamation sounded, "Yang Tian, look at Yaoyao!"
Yang Tian opened his eyes and looked at Young Lady Yaoyao. His expression changed in the next second...
