Chapter 187: A Slip of the Tongue

As Wang Yi’s final words sounded, the heaven and the earth trembled and rumbled.

Countless chains carrying a powerful sealing aura instantly connected in all directions using the four poles as anchors. Then, they swept through this world at lightning speed.

It was as if there was a pair of large hands that existed in the unseen world pulling the chains from an unfathomable place, wanting to pull this space into other latitudes.

The cliff and the World Rift were clearly in front of Venerable Ning Jing, but she could not see them with her eyes or sense them with her mind. It was as if they had completely disappeared from this world.

Looking at the terrifying scene in front of her, Venerable Ning Jing’s expression remained calm.

In this short period of time, she had seen too many shocking things.

Her mental state had already started to become numb and she had gotten used to it. No matter how terrifying the scene in front of her was, it could not cause any waves in her heart.

Now, Venerable Ning Jing was curious. If there was such a phenomenon when the array was formed, just how powerful was this secret array?

At the thought of this, Venerable Ning Jing smiled faintly. Her spiritual space trembled slightly, and a wisp of spiritual power surged out and probed into the illusory space enveloped by the secret array again.

Hiss!

However, the moment the two came into contact, even though Venerable Ning Jing’s mind had already become numb, she still couldn’t help but gasp.

In her perception, the space enveloped by the secret array seemed to have become an independent world.

After her spiritual power entered this space, it was instantly ostracized and suppressed by the entire world. She could not absorb any spiritual energy or replenish it.

Venerable Ning Jing speculated in her heart.

With the current strength and power of the secret array, even as a peak Physical-Realm expert, it would be difficult for her to escape if she was trapped inside. As for what the upper limit was, she could not sense it.

If one could not absorb any spiritual energy and obtain any replenishment, they would become weaker and weaker until their realm fell. In serious cases, they would simply lose their lives.

After all, they didn’t know how long they would be trapped in that space, or how much their condition would drop.

When the owner of the secret array attacked in his peak state, it would be difficult for his targets to survive.

While Venerable Ning Jing was still in a daze, Wang Yi rode his flower phantom and arrived beside her.

As if he was taking revenge on Venerable Ning Jing for mocking him, Wang Yi asked proudly, “Fellow Daoist Ning Jing, do you think some of my methods are good?”

Venerable Ning Jing couldn’t help but smile when she heard this. She thought to herself that Fellow Daoist Wang was indeed petty and vengeful.

Fortunately, Venerable Ning Jing knew that Wang Yi did not have any ill intentions. His words were mostly a joke.

Then, she said jokingly, “Fellow Daoist Wang, your methods are extraordinary. I’m ashamed of my inferiority.”

“I’m impressed! I’m impressed!”

After saying that, Venerable Ning Jing’s expression turned solemn. She changed the topic and asked again, “Pardon me for asking Fellow Daoist Wang, but what’s the upper limit of this secret array’s power?”

A faint smile appeared on Wang Yi’s face when he heard this. As his mouth opened and closed, he slowly said, “Connate-Realm living beings can be imprisoned inside.”

Hiss!

Venerable Ning Jing couldn’t help but gasp again. She couldn’t help but confirm, “Fellow Daoist Wang, what do you mean?”

Venerable Ning Jing couldn’t be blamed for losing her composure. She had to be careful.

That was because the meaning behind this sentence was too terrifying. Unless Wang Yi made a mistake or was just bragging, this matter would be really major.

The seniors who were supporting the fate of the human race would probably be alarmed.

As long as it was confirmed, Wang Yi would immediately be listed as one of the highest-ranking members of the race. This secret array would also become one of the foundations of the human race when facing enemies.

Wang Yi’s smile did not change when he heard this. Then, he replied, “No one below the Connate Realm can break this array.”

Boom!

After receiving Wang Yi’s confirmation, Venerable Ning Jing’s emotions suddenly fluctuated. She could not even control her aura.

A powerful pressure instantly seeped out of her body, causing the air to emit unpleasant explosions.

Venerable Ning Jing closed her eyes and gently adjusted the rhythm of her breathing. It took her quite a while to calm down.

Then, she said anxiously, “This matter is too important. I have to report Fellow Daoist Wang’s existence to the higher-ups of the race.”

However, even Venerable Ning Jing herself did not realize that her voice had completely changed.

“Fellow Daoist Ning Jing, wait a moment.”

Wang Yi knew what Venerable Ning Jing meant and hurriedly stopped her.

How ridiculous…

If those seniors of the human race found out about his existence, it was probably impossible for him to stay in Cang City and enjoy his time with Su Shiya.

Venerable Ning Jing was about to move when she heard this and stopped in her tracks. A strange look flashed across her eyes and she could not help but ask curiously, “Fellow Daoist Wang, what’s the matter?”

When Wang Yi saw this, he hurriedly said, “Don’t report my existence to the higher-ups, okay?”

However, to his surprise, Venerable Ning Jing’s expression instantly became extremely serious. She simply refused. “No!”

“With Fellow Daoist Wang’s talent, it’s enough to change the current situation of the human race.”

“From now on, Fellow Daoist, you must not be involved in any danger. You must be protected by the experts of the race.”

Upon thinking that there might be people following him every day from now on, Wang Yi could not help but shiver.

However, Wang Yi knew that Venerable Ning Jing had good intentions, so he could only wave his hand and refuse. “No need! No need!”

How ridiculous… This wasn’t the life he wanted.

Besides, which realm would the expert sent by the human race to protect him be in?

It was definitely impossible for them to be above the Connate Realm. After all, they were the true foundation of the human race. Until now, Wang Yi had never even heard of them, let alone come into contact with them.

However, what was the point if the person was below the Connate Realm?

Wang Yi already had the combat strength of a peak Physical-Realm expert. Furthermore, he had already seen the path ahead. It probably wouldn’t be long before he could advance to the Connate Realm.

At that time, even Wang Yi did not dare to imagine how terrifying his combat strength would be.

After pondering for a moment and organizing his words, Wang Yi continued, “We martial artists should advance courageously and kill our way out of this chaotic world.”

“We need to use the blood of the enemy to pave the way to invincibility. How can there be a supreme powerhouse who lives under the wings of others?”

“If Fellow Daoist Ning Jing insists on doing this, I’m afraid my martial path will stop here!”

When Venerable Ning Jing heard this, her lips parted and closed several times, but she did not say anything in the end. She finally realized that she had said something wrong.

Wang Yi was right.

If she insisted, it would be equivalent to ruining Wang Yi’s martial path.

Venerable Ning Jing clearly knew about their extraordinary relationship. As a result, Wang Yi knew that she didn’t care about this and explained his situation.

If it were anyone else, it would probably be considered a light punishment if they were to fall out with her without knowing about it. It might even turn into a fight for justice.
