888: Chapter 884: Wuwei Zi’s Plea 888: Chapter 884: Wuwei Zi’s Plea The inner sect disciples of Heaven Gate were all masters of cultivating Wind Flow Strength.
Therefore, when they combined their powers, the resulting force was naturally spectacular.
Before Sima Yun, a wind wall formed—a wind wall so dense that no matter how strong Sima Yun was, he could not breach it…
“Hmph!
Futile resistance!”
Sima Yun sneered coldly and charged toward the wind wall.
Mobilizing all the strength in his body, he collided heavily against the wind wall.
However, to Sima Yun’s astonishment, he found himself unable to break through the wall!
“Huh?”
A look of surprise appeared on Sima Yun’s face.
Having absorbed the strength of Heaven Gate’s Sect Leader Wu Weizi, Sima Yun believed he had become invincible.
Yet, he hadn’t expected to be stopped by this wind wall forged from the combined strength of over twenty inner sect disciples.
The inner sect disciples united with one heart, vowing to block the overbearing Sima Yun.
But Sima Yun dismissed their efforts with disdain…
“You Heaven Gate disciples who cultivate Wind Flow Strength are destined to have your powers absorbed by me.
No matter how much you struggle, it’s pointless!”
Sima Yun declared viciously.
Then, he unleashed all his internal energy, and his entire body became engulfed in a fierce hurricane.
Gradually, Sima Yun transformed into the embodiment of wind itself.
This was the ultimate state of merging with the power of wind—becoming one with nature!
When Sima Yun assimilated with nature, his figure became hazy and unpredictable, appearing even stronger than when Sect Leader Wu Weizi performed this technique!
Unleashing everything he had, Sima Yun slammed viciously into the wind wall, while more than twenty Heaven Gate inner sect disciples pushed themselves to their limits to resist his attacks.
For a moment, both sides were deadlocked in an intense struggle.
Not far away, the Ding brothers, the four elders of the Ye family, and a myriad of Heaven Gate outer sect disciples stood as mere spectators.
No one had expected events to unfold like this—Sima Yun had drained Sect Leader Wu Weizi’s power and was now fighting the Heaven Gate inner sect disciples.
Faced with such a situation, everyone present buzzed with discussion…
“This is a battle within the inner sect disciples of Heaven Gate and has nothing to do with us.
Let them fight—it’s a dog-eat-dog affair.
We merely need to sit back and watch the fight unfold!”
“What nonsense are you spouting?
Didn’t you hear what Sima Yun just said?
He claimed he would absorb the strength of every martial artist in this world who practices Wind Flow Strength.
Once these inner sect disciples are defeated, won’t it be our turn?”
“Then what can we do?
Should we step in and help them fight Sima Yun?”
“That… depends on Ye Tian’s decision…”
Because of the disagreements, everyone turned their eyes to Ye Tian, awaiting his leadership.
Ye Tian was their unequivocal leader; any action required his command.
However, Ye Tian, gravely injured from his battle with Wu Weizi, now sat with his eyes tightly shut, regulating his internal energy.
Clearly, Ye Tian could not recover in a short time, let alone make any decisions…
Watching Ye Tian in this state and the impending outcome of Sima Yun’s confrontation with the inner sect disciples, everyone grew increasingly anxious!
The four elders of the Ye family walked to Ye Tian’s side.
These seasoned martial artists grew restless!
“Boy, time is running out!
Make a decision for everyone!
Fight or flee—just say the word!”
“Sima Yun is so powerful, and you are injured.
Why don’t we retreat for now?
We can regroup once you’ve healed!”
“What should we do?
Sima Yun is unstoppable, and staying here might cost us our lives!”
“Ye Tian, say something already!”
The four elders of the Ye family pressed constantly, but Ye Tian, immersed in healing, had sealed off his five senses.
No matter what happened outside, he could neither hear nor see it.
Previously, Ye Tian had experienced such a state before, but this time, the stakes were extremely dire!
Seeing the four elders pressing Ye Tian, the Ding brothers immediately intervened!
“You four elders, can’t you let our leader heal in peace?
Once his injuries are healed, how could he fear that Sima Yun guy?”
“Exactly!
Be patient—haste makes waste!
For now, the inner sect disciples are holding him back.
Give the boss some time, and he’ll definitely recover and defeat Sima Yun!”
“Exactly, exactly!
No one should panic—let’s wait for the boss to recover!
If the inner sect disciples can’t hold him off, we’ll step in ourselves!
We just need to hold out until the boss is back!”
The Ding brothers were brimming with fighting spirit, showing zero signs of retreating.
The four elders of the Ye family and the outer sect disciples also agreed with this sentiment.
However, if even the twenty-plus Heaven Gate inner sect disciples couldn’t withstand Sima Yun’s siege, then no matter how many outer sect disciples or Ye family elders joined the fight, they would likely still fail against Sima Yun.
“The Heaven Gate inner sect disciples are putting their lives on the line to construct this wind wall.
Its power is probably comparable to the Four Symbols Formation!
If the wind wall is broken, even our Four Symbols Formation likely won’t stop Sima Yun for long!”
Ye Zhihuan sighed bitterly.
The other three elders of the Ye family sighed as well after hearing the clan leader’s words…
Indeed, as Ye Zhihuan said, the Four Symbols Formation would offer only limited power.
With Sima Yun’s current strength, he would easily break through it.
If Ye Tian hadn’t recovered by then, none of them would survive!
Amid the crowd’s mounting fear and unease, a faint voice suddenly emerged…
“Take me… over there…”
The clash between Sima Yun and the inner sect disciples was so loud that no one initially heard the faint voice.
“Someone…
take me over there…”
Finally, after the faint voice repeated itself several times, everyone began to notice it.
The voice came from none other than Wu Weizi, the Heaven Gate Sect Leader, who looked like a dried-up husk after having his life force absorbed by Sima Yun.
With only his trembling lips and occasionally shifting eyes proving he was still alive…
“I’ll go and check!”
Ye Zhirong volunteered, but Clan Leader Ye Zhihuan immediately cautioned, “Be careful!
He’s the Heaven Gate Sect Leader—if it’s a trick, we won’t see it coming!”
After all, Wu Weizi had demonstrated formidable strength earlier, and his intentions to slaughter everyone were clear.
Even in his current debilitated state, no one could entirely let their guard down.
But Ye Zhirong resolutely replied, “It doesn’t matter whether he’s friend or foe.
As long as there’s a sliver of hope, we must believe in it!”
Hearing Ye Zhirong’s words, Ye Zhihuan sighed and relented, “Alright, Ye Zhirong.
Go ahead, but stay vigilant!”
“Don’t worry, Clan Leader.
I’ll be careful!”
With that, Ye Zhirong approached Wu Weizi step by step.
Wu Weizi, completely powerless, could barely remain upright, resembling a lifeless corpse…
“Wu Weizi, you said take you over there?
Where exactly do you want us to take you?”
Ye Zhirong asked coldly, his distrust evident.
“To… Ye Tian…”
Wu Weizi murmured tremblingly, incapable of voicing a complete sentence.
“To Ye Tian?
What are you planning?”
Ye Zhirong interrogated sharply.
Ye Tian was the backbone of everyone present.
If something happened to him, the entire group would be doomed.
“In my current state… I can’t harm anyone… If you don’t want everyone to die here… Take me over…”
Wu Weizi said faintly.
From his expression, Ye Zhirong read an uncharacteristic glimmer of sincerity.
Moreover, Wu Weizi made a valid point.
With Sima Yun’s overwhelming power, the inner sect disciples likely wouldn’t hold out for long.
Once the inner sect disciples fell, Sima Yun would absorb their strength, becoming even more formidable and unstoppable!
Not only would the Ye family elders and outer sect disciples fail to confront him, but even Ye Tian, fully healed, might not be able to win…
“Fine!
I’ll take you over!
But if you dare try anything, I’ll kill you on the spot—even if you’re already half-dead!”
Ye Zhirong gritted his teeth and declared.
Then, he hoisted Wu Weizi and carried him to Ye Tian’s side.
Wu Weizi couldn’t stand and had to sit in front of Ye Tian, his eye level nearly matching Ye Tian’s meditative posture.
“This… give this to him…”
Wu Weizi pulled out a small pill from his body.
Upon seeing the pill, Ye Zhirong’s expression showed utter shock.
“This… could it be the legendary Carefree Pill?”
Ye Zhirong’s words immediately caught everyone’s attention, and they all gathered around.
However, none of the Heaven Gate outer sect disciples nor the Ye family elders had ever seen the Carefree Pill before.
Everyone only knew its red color and small size, but no one could confirm if what Wu Weizi took out was truly the Carefree Pill.
