Chapter 540 - 257: An Unconventional Entrance!

Jiu’s voice was so calm that it was almost without a ripple.

It was like a pebble thrown into a silent lake, creating ripples of invisible waves in the solid underground space.

Fang Qingyu listened, and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

He had imagined countless reactions from Jiu after subduing the god...

Apathy, indifference, or directly leaving, but he never expected that this unfathomably powerful being would, like a child completing a proud piece of work...

Ask such a contrastingly charming question.

However, after the shock, there was heartfelt acknowledgment.

With just a flip of the hand, Jiu had pressed an ancient deity’s Dharma Body with raging fury and overwhelming might back to the ground like squashing a bug, utterly immobilizing it, and even extinguished its brewing ultimate attack in silence...

This couldn’t be simply described with the word "cool".

It was a dual shock to the vision and the soul brought by absolute power.

Fang Qingyu suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, met the calm black-and-white eyes of Jiu, and nodded very honestly: "Cool."

His tone was filled with sincere admiration.

"Cool!!! Super cool!!!"

Almost as soon as Fang Qingyu’s words finished, Chu Kuanglan’s voice, full of excitement and enthusiasm, erupted.

His whole body seemed to catch fire, waving his fists excitedly, his face flushed red, and his eyes looked at Jiu with intense admiration, as if seeing the ultimate idol walking the human world.

Jiu’s pale little face still showed no expression, but after hearing their responses, she seemed to nod slightly, the motion so subtle it was almost negligible.

Then, she no longer looked at the massive snake head beneath her feet that whimpered and struggled in pain.

Her petite figure lightly jumped off the central head of Xiangliu, which was like a hill.

Landing without a sound.

Then, she turned around, facing the Xiangliu Dharma Body that was pressed hard into the pit by an invisible force, writhing futilely.

She didn’t chant, didn’t seal, nor made any extra movements.

She just casually raised her hand towards that massive dark red entity, as large as a mountain.

Like a whale sucking water, or space folding.

The Xiangliu·Descent Dharma Body, occupying most of the underground space, emanating overpowering might and intense blood scent, began to shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye...

The dark red flesh scales were forcibly compressed under an invisible force.

The nine ferocious snake heads emitted their final unwilling and fearful hisses, eventually transforming into a stream of light, which was completely erased by Jiu’s pale little hand with a light grip.

Only the deep pit created by its massive body and a mess of icy surface remained.

Proving that the astounding scene just now was not an illusion.

After finishing all this, Jiu seemed as if she had only casually put away a bothersome toy.

She turned again towards Fang Qingyu, her gaze calmly sweeping over him and the few people behind him, finally resting on the entrance of the channel, on the ten "reinforcements" who were still immobilized like statues by an invisible force.

"These people," Jiu’s voice remained calm and without ripple, her words so concise it was almost stingy, "leave them to you."

Fang Qingyu was stunned: "Leave them to me? What do you mean?"

Jiu tilted her head, seeming slightly puzzled by Fang Qingyu’s question, she pointed a finger at the group of frozen individuals: "Aren’t you going to Glazed Light City? Take them to Glazed Light City for judgment."

Fang Qingyu: "..."

He looked at those dozen living people, then at himself and his four teammates, his expression instantly stiffened.

These weren’t a dozen chickens!

These were genuine Tier Two Martial Arts Grandmasters!

Although now frozen by Jiu’s power, to transport them from the depths of this Far North Ice Glacier relic, at least several dozen kilometers across complex ice fields and icy seas would be necessary.

Fang Qingyu hurriedly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and urgency, "So many people, how can I take them away? Furthermore, we are now beyond the Great Wall Defense Line, the path is long and the environment harsh, plus crossing the Ice Sea! Even though they can’t move now, transporting them is a big issue..."

Listening to Fang Qingyu’s account, Jiu’s expressionless little face seemed to show a little bit of contemplative expression.

She looked at the group of "statues", then looked at Fang Qingyu, and then nodded, indicating she understood Fang Qingyu’s difficulties.

"Oh."

Then, she said clearly in that calm tone: "Well, it is indeed a bit difficult."

A flicker of hope just rose in Fang Qingyu’s heart.

"Then I wish you success." Jiu immediately added, her tone flat.

Fang Qingyu: "...?!"

"Goodbye."

Before the words were fully spoken, Jiu’s figure, like a reflection in water hit by a stone, slightly rippled and then completely vanished from sight.

No light effects, no spatial fluctuations, as if she never existed.

In the entire underground space, only the occasional "crack" sound of ice collapsing remained.

And...

A petrified silence and bafflement.

Fang Qingyu and his four companions stood stiffly as if they had been hit by an Immobilization Spell, staring at the spot where Jiu disappeared.

Chu Kuanglan’s voice was bone dry, filled with utter disbelief, "Did she just leave like that?"

Fang Qingyu took a deep breath of the air laced with blood and the smell of gunpowder, forcibly suppressing the urge to rant and the strong sense of absurdity in his heart.

He helplessly raised his hand and rubbed his brow, feeling the temples throbbing, his head as big as a bucket.

"God Fang, what are we going to do now?!"

Chu Kuanglan looked at Fang Qingyu with a face of despair, feeling the future was utterly bleak.

Fang Qingyu exhaled a long breath of turbid air, scanning over the scene, finally focusing on those immobile figures, his gaze gradually becoming cold and sharp: "Let’s return the way we came...what else can we do?"
