Chapter 1005: Chapter 157: A Sense of Familiarity
The Netherworld Ghost Key was seized, and not only did the Anemone King refrain from attacking Bo Bo Sheep, who snatched the Ghost Key, but it also cowered, afraid to launch an attack.
This scene left the Summoning Courtâs summoners in terror, looking at Bo Bo Sheep as if theyâd seen a ghost. Let alone daring to step forward to seize the Netherworld Ghost Key from Bo Bo Sheepâs hands.
The Second Main Summoner was killed, and the Seventh Summoner along with the Summoning Courtâs few summoners were also shocked. The Seventh Summoner pointed at Yun Sheng: "You, you... arenât you afraid of the Summoning Courtâs retaliation!"
"Retaliation? Well, that depends on whether you have a life to go back and say anything," Yun Shengâs gaze suddenly turned cold, and the lives of the two Main Summoners were merely her appetizer.
Behind her appeared a pair of Wind Wings, and she raised her Magic Wand high. In the sky, during a clear day, a bolt of lightning struck through the cloud layers, and several black Dark Sky Thorns appeared like tree roots, breaking through the sky, striking towards the Seventh Main Summoner.
The Seventh Main Summoner was disheartened, thinking he was bound to die today.
But just as this thought crossed his mind, a figure appeared beside the Seventh Main Summoner as if it had emerged from thin air.
The man, wearing a jade mask, moved his lips like a ghost.
Over the sea surface, mist gathered, and a Water Shield met the Dark Sky Thorn.
The simple Water Shield collided with the Thorn, the Dark Magic Power and the gentle Water Power counteracted each other.
The Water Shield shattered, and the Thorn also disappeared.
The Continent Magic World has always believed that the higher the Magic Rank, the greater the magicâs power. Just like Basic Magic encountering Advanced Magic, itâs sure to lose. Yun Sheng, until today, thought the same.
But today, meeting the jade-masked man, she realized that her previous understanding of magic was completely wrong.
A mage who has comprehended magic to the highest level has reached an incredible realm of transforming complexity into simplicity, so even the most ordinary Water Shield is enough to counter high-level and even super magic.
The Dark Sky Thorn was derived from the new Dark Magic Yun Sheng comprehended after absorbing a portion of Ye Beimingâs Magic Soul for three years. Its power is extraordinary.
Yet, the jade-masked man used a simple Water Shield to consume the power of the Dark Sky Thorn. His cultivation is imaginable.
A chill arose in Yun Shengâs heart.
The Seventh Main Summoner survived, recognizing the newcomer, he exclaimed: "King, Penglai King."
The Seventh Main Summonerâs tone, upon seeing the Penglai King, seemed more terrified than joyous.
His body trembled uncontrollably, his teeth chattered even more so than when he faced the Abyssal Tentacle Sunflower earlier; he had never been this scared.
The man tall and slender, standing in the wind, wearing the jade mask, was the second to none on the Wuji Continent, Penglai Regent King Ji Ru Mo.
Penglai Princess Ji Ru Mo!
"Seventh Main Summoner, seems you still got me in your heart as your king," Ji Ru Moâs voice sounded gentle like the caress of a summer breeze, yet each word pierced the Seventh Summonerâs ears, bone-chillingly cold.
"King... the thing, the Summoning Courtâs thing was snatched by that Demon Beast," the Seventh Summoner could barely complete a sentence, showing the extent of his fear towards this Penglai King.
This raised Yun Sheng and the othersâ curiosity about the Penglai King.
The Penglai King wore a mask, hiding his true appearance. But if the rumors were right, what a brilliant and fair man he should be.
His mask outlined a perfect side profile, yet beneath the jade mask, it was already a fragmented face.
Nevertheless, the mere sound of his voice could charm countless young women across the continent.
Ji Ru Mo, finally came.
Dugu Xiu was not surprised by Ji Ru Moâs sudden appearance.
On the contrary, Dugu Xiu was puzzled by Ji Ru Moâs delay in arriving.
He had sent the Hawk to the Penglai Pavilion, and logically, it should have arrived yesterday.
"Emperor Dugu, Regent King, my apologies for startling you two in the Penglai Sea," Ji Ru Mo nodded towards those on the skyship. His gaze lingered on Yun Sheng for a moment before moving away.
Yun Sheng became tense; she thought to herself that Ye Beiming had never met Ji Ru Mo, hence he couldnât possibly recognize her.
Ji Ru Mo quickly withdrew his gaze, but neither Yun Sheng nor Dugu Xiu noticed that as Ji Ru Mo withdrew his gaze, his slender jade-like fingers, hidden under the royal robe, unconsciously clenched tightly.
Itâs her!
A ripple in his heart was well hidden by the jade mask, masking Ji Ru Moâs loss of composure.
"Little one, youâve taken something you shouldnât," as Ji Ru Mo appeared, Bo Bo Sheep discreetly planned to sneak next to his owner.
But Bo Bo Sheepâs scheme was instantly seen through by Ji Ru Mo.
He raised his hand, revealing a purple thunderball that crackled with "zizi" sounds.
Inside the thunderball, white light shimmered extensively, and as Ji Ru Moâs hand moved, the purple-white magic light ball wrapped Bo Bo Sheep, forming a small cage.
Bo Bo Sheep was stunned; it felt a tingling current rushing through its body, impairing its wing movements, making flight difficult.
What the hell is this thing!
Piteous, it couldnât find a way to escape.
Ji Ru Moâs fingers clenched, and the purple-white magic light ball returned to his grasp, as he toyed with it like a handball.
Bo Bo, dear master, quickly save Bo Bo!
Furious, Bo Bo Sheep was; this wretched masked man imprisoned him, wanting to flee, or to crash into him, but had no strength to do so.
Yun Sheng was equally surprised; a Bo Bo Sheep almost immune to all magic barriers couldnât overcome the purple-white magic light ball.
It seemed to be a type of Mystical Magic similar to Yun Shengâs Mystical Magic Thunder Vortex, showing Penglai King Ji Ru Moâs extraordinary skills.
"Penglai King, thatâs my Demon Beast, could you return it to me," Yun Sheng did not wish for a direct confrontation with the Penglai King.
Sadly, the Ghost Key just slipped away from her grasp.
This man is too bizarre, and his strength is unfathomable. Without gauging his strength, Yun Sheng was reluctant to engage him.
Moreover, she was here to find the whereabouts of her mother and father, and it seemed Ji Ru Mo and the Summoning Court werenât colluding. Perhaps, she may require his assistance.
"The Regentâs Demon Beast is quite special. I can return it to you, but the thing itâs holding canât be handed to the Regent, I apologize. In the future, Ji Ru Mo shall host a banquet to welcome the Regent and cleanse this Demon Beast," Ji Ru Mo chuckled, took the Netherworld Ghost Key while tossing Bo Bo Sheep back to Yun Sheng.
He made the throw with skill, so when the purple-white magic light ball reached Yun Sheng, it dispersed, and Bo Bo Sheep fell into Yun Shengâs arms.
