570 Finding Ji Yeyue (2/2)

Ji Yeyue emerged, her body covered in a cyan light. She was a lot thinner now than the last time they met, face much paler. Her eyes were closed and her expression was fearful. She had long been unconscious.

”Yeyue, are you all right?” Grandma Loulan was shocked when she saw that Ji Yeyue was not in a good way. She went over to pick her up, but as soon as she held out her hand, it was blocked by the cyan light enveloping Ji Yeyue. She looked up at Zhou Bao. ”King Wuyang, this——!”

Zhou Bao smiled. He took the Green Plain Brocade into his hand, and without its support, Ji Yeyue fell softly to the ground.

Grandma Loulan stepped forward right away and held Ji Yeyue up. ”Yeyue, Yeyue! What's wrong? Are you alright?”

She called a few more times, but Ji Yeyue did not come around. Grandma Loulan's expression grew heavy as she lifted a hand and placed her finger on Ji Yeyue's forehead.

A flash of light streamed through her fingertip, but Ji Yeyue still didn't move. Finally, Grandma Loulan's face turned somber.

Ji Yeyue was born in this millennium in the Jade Pool, and the only person who has the chance of stepping into the Karmic Rank of Lord of Heaven. She was the hope of the Jade Pool for thousands of years to come. If something were truly to happen to her, then the future of the Jade Pool would not be good at all.

”My elder, it seems that Yeyue has been hit by the inhibition. At the moment, it's difficult to know for sure, but I think we'd better leave this place first!” Zhou Bao said. This solidified Self-world is, to put it plainly, the tomb of a Lord of Heaven, there's not much spiritual qi. For some people, it's not a bad place for it can be used to refine hoarding-type celestial devices. But for Zhou Bao it had no value at all, but he also had no intention of taking it away. Besides, it was meaningless to idle around in the tomb, and somewhat unlucky.

”Yes, that's all we can do,” said Grandma Loulan, standing up with a bleak face. ”Now that we've found Yeyue, I'll take her back. Please, King Wuyang, don't feel obliged.”

”My elder, I feel that something is not quite right. Take this Green Plain Brocade to protect Yeyue.”

”Okay.” Grandma Loulan felt obliged to agree, and she understood what Zhou Bao meant. This was the Pure Yang Celestial Device that Zhou Bao had lent to Ji Yeyue. It was only reasonable that Ji Yeyue herself give it back to him, instead of him taking it from her body. This protection was only a polite courtesy. She was a Seven Tribulations Lord of Heaven, coming from the Infinite Star Sea through the Formation Tower to her own macro world. How could she even run into danger?

”In that case, I will leave now!” Seeing Grandma Loulan take the Green Plain Brocade, Zhou Bao bowed and left this solidified world.

Grandma Loulan was not at all surprised by Zhou Bao's departure. Zhou Bao was different from her. She had come to the Infinite Star Sea mainly for Ji Yeyue, and now that she had found her, she had no real reason to stay.

But Zhou Bao clearly had another reason to come here. He understood when he saw the Immortal Palace spending so much effort to compete for him to enter the Infinite Star Sea.

Therefore, she did not count on Zhou Bao being willing to go with her to send Ji Yeyue back. But as a Seven Tribulations Zhou Bao, she did not need Zhou Bao to escort her. She was very confident in her own strength. Her body was also ideal for this solidified world. Zhou Bao's departure demonstrated to her that he had no interest in this World-solidifying Skill. So the whole World-solidifying Skill belonged to Grandma Loulan alone.

When she thought of this, even though the Ji Yeyue she was carrying to her bosom was still unconscious, she smiled.

Bao Zhou thought, ”This Infinite Star Sea was indeed strange. Ji Yeyue had been struck by some sort of inhibition, and not even the Green Plain Brocade could protect her. But the Jade Pool was one of the five biggest sects, so Ji Yeyue should not have any major difficulties. As for me, though, why do I always feel quite so uneasy, like something big is happening? So strange!” Bao Zhou left the World-solidifying Skill. His figure flashing continuously in the hollow, he shot into the depths of the Infinite Star Sea.

Zhou Bao had seen the Void Map of the Infinite Star Sea before, so he did not encounter any real obstacle along the way, and certainly did not gain any advantage, either. In front of him appeared a blue celestial body, and just as he was getting ready to enter it, it suddenly mutated.

”Interesting, it was a lad who had just broken through into the Mysterious Realm. Such audacity to turn up in the chaotic space of the hollow, even if you've grasped so little of the secret methods. Do you just not want to live anymore?”

Along with a voice came a huge sack, coming straight for Zhou Bao.
