Chapter 243 The sky was filled with auspicious five-colored clouds, like a fairyland.
The plaza near the altar was spacious and quiet, and usually no one went there. As Tong Yuheng and Tong Yuyao walked in that direction, someone quickly reported to the three family heads, who rushed over immediately, hoping to be of assistance.
Yu Yao placed her hand on the protective barrier of the altar, feeling the soft yet impenetrable membrane. She imbued her hand with internal energy and that strange corrosive force, and gradually probed inwards!
Gradually, half of her arm entered a gelatinous, sluggish sensation. Suddenly, she was overjoyed—the sensation in her hand was gone! Her arm had passed right through!
"Sister! There's hope!" she exclaimed in surprise.
"Come out first, then feel it slowly! Is there anything that's bothering you?" Tong Yuheng was worried that she might suffer some unknown harm.
Tong Yuyao slowly withdrew her arm, and Tong Yuheng immediately examined it carefully, only relaxing after finding nothing amiss. However, when they reached back in from the original spot, the arm-sized area she had previously corroded had completely healed!
This is seriously weird! Tong Yuheng vowed that she would study the formation carefully after she got out, because she never wanted to be trapped like this again!
Yu Yao continuously corroded and intensified the input of her supernatural power, trying to figure out how to expand the area and increase the time it could be maintained open. After repeating this several times, her internal energy and supernatural power were completely exhausted, her face pale and covered in cold sweat!
"Yuyao, stop! Don't try anymore. Overdrawing your internal energy and supernatural abilities won't do you any good!" She quickly took out some pills to replenish her strength and essence pills and fed them to her. Only then did her complexion improve.
Yu Yao knew that fighting head-on was useless, so she sat down on the ground and began to cultivate her internal energy. At the same time, she mobilized the corrosive power to follow the internal energy. Before long, she digested the medicinal power and felt that her internal energy and supernatural abilities had made breakthroughs.
"Sister, I feel stronger than before! Let me try again!" Yu Yao was very excited. She seemed to be just a little bit away from breaking through the Martial Grandmaster level and reaching the Innate Martial Saint level!
"Rest a little longer, don't cause any hidden dangers. Although this can accelerate the growth of internal energy, if it damages the foundation, it will be a loss!" In Tong Yuheng's heart, she didn't want Yuyao to take any risks.
As expected, upon testing again, Yu Yao had corroded a hole ten centimeters in diameter in the barrier, which could withstand the damage for one second without being repaired!
"Yuyao, recover your strength first. If you can hold on for just one more second, I'll throw in two high-explosive grenades. Maybe we can blow up this lousy altar!"
"Okay, let's work together!"
Tong Yuyao was tasked with using corrosive power to create a hole in the barrier. Tong Yuheng held a grenade, ready to pull the pin and throw it in the moment Yuyao withdrew.
It sounds simple, but it's actually very dangerous. In just a moment, the hole in the barrier could close, and if a grenade lands near the two sisters, it could harm them!
Although they were already highly skilled martial artists who could use their internal energy to form a defense, that thing was still powerful and had a short range. Even if they didn't die, they couldn't guarantee they wouldn't get injured!
The two were prepared to run away if things didn't go well, so they evacuated the family heads and others who were watching the commotion, and began their operation!
"Sis, get ready! I'm going to pull my hand out! I'll count to three!" Yu Yao looked at the high-explosive grenade in her older sister's hand, gritted her teeth, and shouted, "One, two, three!"
As soon as he uttered the word "three," Tong Yuheng pulled the pin on the grenade and threw it into the unseen hole through which Yuyao had just pulled her hand out!
The grenade slid into the barrier in an instant, bounced and landed next to the altar base. In the time it takes to breathe, the area inside the barrier was reduced to ruins!
Hahaha! Success! That unfortunate altar has been destroyed! The base is shattered into pieces, and the statues of immortals overlooking all living beings are now missing heads, broken arms, or cut in half at the waist, no longer possessing that domineering aura!
The shockwave from the explosion was blocked by the barrier, and none of it leaked out. Instead, it repeatedly impacted the altar, causing even greater damage. The altar was completely shattered inside!
Yu Yao was extremely nervous just now, and her whole body was soaked in sweat. Even opening such a small hole had cost her almost all of her internal energy and supernatural abilities. It seems that she probably won't be able to get out!
Fortunately, they saw hope. They had broken the most evil formation in this small world! The people here would no longer die young or inexplicably; they could live to a ripe old age.
Yuheng supported his younger sister, feeling a pang of heartache at her pale face. The setting sun cast its light behind them, making the two graceful figures with resolute faces appear sacred and solemn. Those around the square felt a surge of gratitude and reverence, and many bowed in deep worship.
Tong Yuheng felt the sky above Feixian City clear up. He turned around and looked at the setting sun. The sky was filled with colorful auspicious clouds, just like a fairyland!
"My lords, we sisters are tired too. We're going back to Wangxian Village to rest for the night. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow!" Tong Yuheng said.
"How about we have dinner at the Chu family's house first?"
"My Hong family has also prepared dinner; we would be honored if you two would join us!"
"What are you arguing about? The fairy is the head of our Feng family!"
"Alright, you're all too noisy! Let's go back first!" Tong Yuheng's face darkened. The mental pressure from the Foundation Establishment stage made their hearts pound like drums, and they immediately shut up.
Tong Yuheng took out a motorcycle from his spatial storage, picked up Yuyao, and sped away, leaving everyone else in the dust behind.
"Respectfully seeing off the two fairies!"
They now believe that the seemingly untrained younger sister was deliberately hiding her strength; otherwise, how could she have opened a hole in the barrier?
If we can open a hole, won't we be able to open a door later? Then their hope of getting out will be realized! Thank God! Thanks to our ancestors, we really see hope of getting out!
Upon returning to Wangxian Village, Sun Desheng hurriedly came out to greet them. He was surprised that the three major families, who usually loved to quarrel over trivial matters, were so amicable this time.
He was worried that these families might fight over it and end up in the ring! What if they hurt either of them?
Actually, these families had considered this idea before, which is why they sent their disappointing juniors to provoke her. But once they saw that Tong Yuheng, this female cultivator, was not simple, they changed their minds.
The three families have coexisted in this small world for so many years. Naturally, they have had their share of disputes, cooperation, and marriage alliances, but there is no deep-seated hatred that leads to a fight to the death.
When there are problems, they can discuss them with each other. In case of major events, they rely on the Feng family's divination to find the right direction. Therefore, the Feng family's diviners are quite respected here. Several doctors in Feixian City are also from their family, and they have inherited some Taoist medical methods.
The Hong and Chu families have more craftsmen and slightly more cultivators than the Feng family. They are skilled in construction, tool making, hunting, and farming. They can tame beasts; those two black bears were tamed by the Chu family.
