She seemed to recall he’d wanted to say something last time. It hadn’t been said because she’d abruptly space-jumped too far away…
Then, she turned to look at the others around her. Their expressions were grave and bewildered!
As she drew closer, she could clearly discern their strength. Some were indeed much stronger than her, and they could stand by breaking through the void, their cultivation at least beyond the peak of the Great Dao!
With so many people chasing her, it did seem somewhat credible! Otherwise, killing her outright wouldn’t be difficult…
She believed five-tenths of it but remained vigilant. She frowned.
“I don’t want to be the Saintess!”
It was all this inexplicable identity that caused this trouble!
The cold-faced envoy, however, let out a sigh of relief. It was good that she was willing to listen to him!
“Alright, once the Divine Hall is reopened, there will be no more Saintess!”
The matter was suddenly resolved, and Jin Bao’er even felt a touch of unreality! She felt like a storm was brewing… She pondered for a moment and then spoke softly!
“How will the Divine Hall be reopened? Why must it be the Saintess? What price do I need to pay? Or what do I need to do?”
She suddenly thought of something. Back in the cultivation world she came from, wasn’t it because the spiritual energy was becoming increasingly sparse that many gifted individuals couldn’t ascend? Was this related to the closure of the Divine Hall? And for what reason did the Divine Hall close? All these matters seemed to foreshadow something…
Besides, she wasn’t some naive fool. If reopening the Divine Hall would greatly harm her, or if the price was too high, she’d have to consider it, wouldn’t she?
The envoy’s expression froze, a flicker of an unreadable light flashing in his eyes, gone as quickly as it appeared. If Jin Bao’er hadn’t been watching him the entire time, she might not have even noticed.
“You can rest assured about this. The Saintess is a chosen one, and the price paid is extremely small. You only need to pray devoutly outside the Divine Hall. Once the Divine Hall opens, you can leave! We can guarantee we will not trouble you!”
He rarely showed a smile, and his handsome face radiated a sacred and elegant aura that was convincing!
Jin Bao’er’s eyes darkened. Her expression was impassive, but her aura was inexplicably cold! She lowered her gaze…
“Alright, but I have other matters to attend to now. Let’s discuss this in a few days!”
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously frowned. What could be more important than reopening the Divine Hall? Did she even know what she was saying?
“Hmph, Saintess, do you know the importance of reopening the Divine Hall? It concerns the life and death of the entire universe. What else can be compared to this matter?”
An old man with a long, flowing beard, his demeanor like an immortal, frowned at her, full of displeasure! His tone was filled with a scolding inflection, like an elder admonishing a junior, with a hint of disdain in his brows!
Clearly, he was accustomed to being revered and didn’t take this unknown, obscure Saintess girl seriously at all!
With the first person speaking, others naturally felt dissatisfied with her evasiveness. Their reproaches filled the air. With all sorts of moral blackmail and being watched by everyone, the cold-faced envoy watched with cold eyes, not even making a move to stop them!
A moment later…
Jin Bao’er’s gaze shifted, and she looked at them expressionlessly! The icy aura gradually spread. The beautiful but disheveled woman stood there quietly, exuding an inexplicable air of dominance!
Only then did the crowd reluctantly lower their voices. Seeing this, Jin Bao’er finally spoke, her tone calm, cold, and sarcastic…
“It seems you all lack sincerity!”
Besides, someone as indifferent as her…
“The life and death of the universe, what does it have to do with me?!”
After speaking, before the crowd’s faces turned ashen, she turned back to the cold-faced envoy! But she pointed at the old man… and said expressionlessly.
“Negotiations have failed! Let him open your damned Divine Hall himself!”
Asking for help with such an attitude? Did they think she had no temper?
The cold-faced envoy’s expression changed. He instinctively glared at the old man. Just as he was about to turn back to appease Jin Bao’er…
Suddenly, there was a flash of light before them, and the square block instantly appeared. Without hesitation, it rushed forward. Did this mean… she was leaving?
The cold-faced envoy was aghast. He had to stop her this time, no matter what! He absolutely couldn’t let her escape again!!
“Wait! Stop!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand forcefully, and the power of rules surged forth, instantly transforming into a white light that pursued her closely, seemingly trying to forcibly detain the woman within the square block!
Those who were closer turned pale and instinctively retreated in a hurry…
The power of rules! A power that only the gods could wield! Even demigods couldn’t resist it.
The next second, everyone reacted and rushed forward eagerly to stop her from leaving. Large swathes of flowing light flashed rapidly, and all sorts of magical treasures rained down towards the square block…
For a time, with the original spot as the center, more than half of the cosmic space lit up with blindingly brilliant light! It was colorful and filled with oppressive pressure, and anyone else would likely be unable to withstand it!
Jin Bao’er was no exception. She looked at the black vine box beside her and directly ordered!
“Release!”
The little spirit received the command, immediately turned around, and with its lid slightly ajar, it flung a flame towards the vast, blinding power fluctuations behind it…
The small, red-purple flame flew out of the square block. Its faint glow was barely noticeable, like an ant under an elephant’s foot. Yet, it charged headlong towards the formidable energy that inspired dread!
Everyone chuckled, their faces showing disdain and contempt! This Saintess was so ignorant and foolish; it was truly baffling why she was chosen!
As a result, more than half of them were too lazy to continue the pursuit… Only a small portion continued to chase.
The flame rushed directly into the vast spiritual power light, instantly disappearing! It didn’t even cause a ripple, as if it had been completely swallowed!
Everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter, their eyes full of contempt!
Even the elder Lan Xingchang, who had been worried just moments ago, let out a huge sigh of relief! Only then did he realize his back was drenched…
The Eternal Sky Flowing Fire seemed to be nothing more than this?
Jin Bao’er piloted the teleportation square block forward, her divine sense tightly focused on the vast energy still pursuing her and the Eternal Sky Flowing Fire that had vanished without a trace…
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Until ten seconds had passed, the energy mass was still hot on her heels, showing no signs of stopping! It didn’t even show any signs of dissipating!
Only then did she frown. She thought one flame wasn’t enough, but there were only seven flames in total, and she had already thrown out one. If the remaining ones weren’t enough to forge a sword, wouldn’t all her previous efforts have been in vain??
The spiritual energy fluctuations gradually drew closer. Seeing that the distance was less than three meters, Jin Bao’er finally couldn’t hold back. With one hand controlling the teleportation square block to continue moving forward, she slightly flipped her other hand, forcefully condensing the power within her body into her palm, and swung it fiercely at the astonishing energy…
