Chapter 143 My Immortal Life is Missing (7)
Ye Ling's voice still lingered in the air, before it could dissipate, but she suddenly disappeared without warning.
She left not a trace, as if she had never existed.
Gu Shijiu froze, staring intently at the hand that had been holding Ye Ling.
He was stunned for a long time: "Where is he... How could he just disappear like that?"
The sect leader was indeed experienced and reacted extremely quickly.
Upon seeing this, he immediately waved his hands and muttered incantations.
A surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body, quickly forming a barrier around him that enveloped the entire area.
As the barrier unfolded, the situation became immediately clear.
It seems that Ye Ling has hidden herself in the mysterious ruins.
Although no one could see the specific appearance of the ruins, they could guess a thing or two from the reaction of the barrier set up by the sect leader.
The barrier appeared to be struck by some invisible force, bulging out here and denting in there;
It seemed as if something unseen was rampaging inside, trying to break through this barrier.
The sect leader's face was ashen, and he dared not slacken in the slightest. He hurriedly used his spiritual power again to further reinforce the barrier.
He knew very well that if Ye Ling were to escape by hiding in the ruins, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
At this moment, Ye Ling, who was hiding in the ruins, was also extremely anxious.
She gritted her teeth, and with a heavy heart, spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood, carrying Ye Ling's own spiritual power, sprayed straight into the center of the ruins.
This was quite significant; the sect leader instantly felt the power of the ruins increase dramatically.
The impact surged toward the barrier, and the once stable barrier instantly became as thin as paper, as if it would be broken at any moment.
Fortunately, there were many cultivators present, and everyone realized the urgency of the situation, so they all took action and used their spiritual power.
They continuously poured water into the barrier, working together to reinforce this defensive line.
However, the power contained within the ruins should not be underestimated, as it is also constantly impacting the barrier.
The two sides remained deadlocked, neither able to gain the upper hand, resulting in a stalemate.
Ye Ling's face flushed red with anger, and her spiritual energy surged uncontrollably throughout her body.
She felt like she was about to be blown away by this anger.
Gritting her teeth, Ye Ling reached into her storage ring and pulled out a large number of divine artifacts.
These artifacts each emanated powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary items.
She then activated these divine artifacts, launching a fierce attack on the barrier;
Brilliant beams of light shot towards the barrier, creating a truly magnificent scene.
However, as soon as these attacks approached the barrier, they were blocked by Gu Shijiu, who was prepared.
Gu Shijiu held a spiked club, specifically targeting the divine weapon that charged at him.
Because of the barrier, the artifact's energy couldn't escape, but the spiked club could move freely.
Everyone looked at Gu Shijiu's strange weapon and had various guesses in their minds.
Seeing this, Ye Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of grievance, and she shouted loudly at Gu Shijiu.
"Sister, why do you have to make things difficult for me? Can't we just keep to ourselves?"
She tried to launch an emotional offensive, thinking that perhaps she could move Gu Shijiu to let her off the hook.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shijiu inwardly complained, wondering why people kept trying to claim kinship with her wherever she went.
Shi Qi watched Ye Ling's discomfiture and deliberately provoked her.
"So what if you hide in those sacred ruins? You still can't get out, so stop struggling."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling became even angrier and spat out another mouthful of blood.
Her face turned deathly pale instantly, but she still forced herself to continue attacking the barrier with the divine artifact, determined not to give up until she achieved her goal.
The stalemate lasted for several days, and then the ruins gradually quieted down.
Ye Ling gradually calmed down and began to think about it.
Since we can't get out now, we might as well cultivate in these ruins.
The spiritual energy here is abundant, and the flow of time is different from that outside.
One day inside is equivalent to a month outside.
Once she reaches the peak of her cultivation, will a barrier set up by a mere Nascent Soul cultivator still be able to trap her?
We must kill all of them when the time comes, and see if they dare to go this far again.
The people outside clearly sensed Ye Ling's intentions, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After all, only Ye Ling can control this ruin; no one else can enter it.
All they could do was stand outside anxiously, trying to figure out a solution.
A cultivator with a fire elemental root stepped forward. He slowly placed his hand on the barrier, then circulated his spiritual power and released the strange fire he had cultivated.
In an instant, the blazing flames spread along his palm, enveloping the entire barrier.
The surrounding temperature began to rise sharply, the heat almost igniting the air itself.
Watching this scene from the side, Shi Qi couldn't help but clap her hands and laugh, "Haha, now look what's happened, they've turned into a little turtle being boiled in hot water."
Ye Ling was furious when she heard this in the ruins, and quickly looked outside.
The air inside the barrier had turned red from the heat, and the flames outside were raging, making it a rather frightening sight.
However, the Shinto ruins seemed completely unaffected, remaining quietly there without any change.
Curious about how high the temperature was inside the barrier, Gu Shijiu secretly channeled her spiritual energy into it.
Unexpectedly, the moment the mental energy came into contact with the high temperature inside the barrier, it melted instantly.
Startled, she quickly withdrew her remaining mental energy, patted her chest with lingering fear, and secretly rejoiced that she had stopped in time.
"Wow, with such high temperatures, the Shinto Ruins are completely unharmed. That's really amazing."
They kept heating it with fire for several days, but the ruins remained completely unmoved and showed no reaction whatsoever.
At this moment, another cultivator with the Ice Spirit Root walked over, wanting to join in the fun and see if he could break the current stalemate.
He carefully took out an extremely cold substance from his bosom—South China Sea ice crystals.
As soon as the ice crystals were taken out, before they could even be activated, the temperature in the entire room instantly dropped.
It felt as if the room had suddenly turned into an ice cellar, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.
The cultivator didn't delay and directly placed the ice crystal into the barrier.
This time the effect seems to be better than fire attack.
A chilling aura quickly spread within the barrier, and Ye Ling immediately felt a chill run through her body.
His body was quickly covered in frost, and even when he breathed, thick white mist came out of his mouth;
He was shivering from the cold, his cultivation was interrupted, and he was in a very sorry state.
Ye Ling was both angry and annoyed, cursing inwardly: How could there be such a vicious person, always trying to find ways to torment me!
Having no other choice, she said again, "Please let me out. I promise I'll find a secluded place to cultivate properly in the future."
"I promise I won't bother you again. Let's keep to ourselves, okay?"
Ye Ling's tone carried a hint of pleading.
