Chapter 775 - 711: Purple Glow in the Eyes_2

"What’s the difference? Is he even more powerful?"

Xiaosuisui touched her head.

While trying to observe from atop Dafeng’s back, she really couldn’t tell how powerful the man in black at the bottom of the mountain was. It seemed that from the days she always felt sleepy and sweated excessively, her power had greatly declined.

"He’s not more powerful, but the Clone at Wangwu Mountain was quite weak. This Clone is far stronger than that one. Be careful, Master!" As soon as Dafeng finished speaking, it promptly warned Xiaosuisui to be careful. Then, it suddenly plummeted from the sky. Xiaosuisui, caught off guard, fell as well.

Seeing this, the Emperor and Ji Youzhi dashed towards her, ready to catch Xiaosuisui. In the end, she landed in Ji Youzhi’s arms.

"What happened? Why did Dafeng suddenly become unstable?" The Emperor hurriedly asked as he checked Xiaosuisui’s condition, continuing to probe, "Are you alright, daughter? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Were you scared?"

Xiaosuisui shook her head. "I’m fine, Your Majesty, my foster father."

"If you’re fine, that’s good." The Emperor heaved a sigh of relief and continued to inquire, "What on earth happened? Why did Dafeng act like this?"

"It’s the Array!"

Before Xiaosuisui could answer, the National Master’s calm voice was heard. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky. A thin, transparent shield flickered there, emitting waves of light.

"The Array?" the crowd gasped in unison.

"Yes, it’s the Array. It restricts airborne movement, preventing both humans and birds from flying," the National Master explained.

Princess Ata’s face turned grave as she involuntarily stepped back, breathing heavily. Xie Pan’Er noticed her behavior, quickly reached out to support her, and asked concernedly, "What’s wrong?"

"The flying restriction Array is a very powerful one. I’ve read about it; even Grandmaster Level individuals may not be able to set it up!"

If even Grandmaster Level individuals might not be able to set it up, could there be someone here stronger than a Grandmaster Level? Everyone looked ashen-faced from the shock. People above the Grandmaster Level are supposed to be Immortals, right? As Immortals, they possess the power to move mountains and fill seas. How could they, mere mortals, stand against a Great Wizard Clone with the power of an Immortal? The fact that flight is restricted here, meaning even Dafeng couldn’t fly upwards—this situation was frightening!

"The current situation is unfavorable for us!" Dugu said.

Ji Youzhi added, "But it is also unfavorable for the Great Wizard!"

All eyes turned to him.

Ji Youzhi said, "The Great Wizard has restricted flight, which means he wants to engage us in a deadly battle. I suspect that by now, the soldiers below have surrounded the entire mountain, ensuring none of us can escape."

Ji Youzhi’s assertion was confirmed by Xiaosuisui. "Yes, I just saw them disperse and guard every path down the mountain!"

"In this case, the Great Wizard’s Clone will inevitably come up personally," Ji Youzhi continued. "Then it’ll be one against many. With so many of us here and only one of him, he won’t have much chance of winning!"

Princess Ata objected to Ji Youzhi’s analysis. "Seventh Prince, you may not have fully understood what I just said. The Great Wizard Clone at the bottom of the mountain possesses power beyond that of a Grandmaster Level. He is likely an Immortal Level Clone. An Immortal has a rapport with and can communicate with nature, and they can convert Spiritual Qi into Witch Power almost instantaneously. Such a being outmatches every single one of us here!"

Seeing Ji Youzhi’s complacency, Princess Ata directly pointed out the critical flaw in his reasoning.

"Are Immortals really that powerful? If so, are we doomed?" Dugu voiced his worries.

The National Master closed his eyes in concentration. He took out a compass-like round magical instrument from his hand and started deducing something using his mental power.

"What is the National Master doing? What’s that thing in his hand?" Dugu asked curiously, spying the round disc in the National Master’s hand.

Ji Youzhi shook his head. "I don’t know, but it looks similar to the compass my second sister-in-law has, yet also different. It’s a Daoist Sect apparatus!"

Upon hearing it was a Daoist Sect apparatus, Dugu remained silent.

"This is a Deduction Instrument, a tool to break Arrays, crafted by my master. You’ve never seen one like it, have you?" Li Yanyan’s voice suddenly rang out, her expression smug.

Everyone glanced at her then quickly looked away. The little girl’s true colors began to show as soon as the wound on her bottom started to heal. They all tacitly chose to ignore her.

"You... what was that look? Are you looking down on me?" she demanded, furious, hands on her hips, glaring at Dugu, Princess Ata, and Ji Youzhi.

"Li Yanyan, you’re really something," Xiaosuisui, held in Ji Youzhi’s arms, said angrily when she saw Li Yanyan glaring at her dear Seventh Uncle. "You see their disdain for you, yet you still court trouble. We’re all in grave danger, and you’re here flaunting yourself? How much do you love showing off!" She insulted Li Yanyan without holding back.

Hearing this, Li Yanyan opened her mouth to retort, "What’s it to you, you little jin—"

"Li Yanyan, shut your mouth! You’re not allowed to speak for three days!" Li Suisui shouted angrily, blinking three times in rapid succession, her pupils flashing with a hint of purple.

Seeing this, Li Yanyan was so frightened that her eyes and mouth widened. "..." She couldn’t help but clutch her chest, her heart pounding with fright!
