The man glanced at a pale-looking Gu Ruoyun and an icy sneer flashed across his cold and arrogant eyes. Instantly, he unleashed the full extent of the coercion from within his body and directed all of it towards Gu Ruoyun.
Even though Gu Ruoyun holds the Ancient Divine Pagoda, the man before her was a Martial Saint, feared by all in the mainlands!
No one can remain standing firmly when under the coercion of a Martial Saint.
Thud!
Gu Ruoyun had to prop herself against the ground in order to avoid falling over. She now felt as if her bones could crumble into dust. Her delicate and pretty face was now as white as a sheet.
However, she kept her head up and fixed her clear, cold eyes upon the powerful and godlike man before her.
"If you want to look, I'll let you look as much as you wish. After today, you'll never see this Holy One again."
The man waved his robes and a black wind filled with a thick gloomy air suddenly rushed towards the immobilized Gu Ruoyun.
He was too fast, so fast that no one had any chance to react...
"Is this the true extent of the power of a Martial Saint?" Gu Ruoyun raised her head a muttered to herself, "Indeed, with my current level of power, I can't even retaliate when faced with a Martial Saint!"
Martial Saints were at the apex of existence in the mainland. Whenever they appeared, nobody would have the chance to retaliate!
Gu Ruoyun laughed bitterly. My powers have been improving by leaps and bounds all these years. However, regardless of how fast my improvements have been, when faced with a powerful cultivator like this, I can't even escape, let along retaliate...
Just as Gu Ruoyun was falling into an inescapable calamity, a hand reached out from the side and pulled her into a warm embrace. At the same time, the black wind directed towards Gu Ruoyun slammed fiercely into the walls of the cave behind her. The solid walls were melted into the shape of a large dish, it was an absolutely horrifying sight.
"Zi... Zixie?"
Gu Ruoyun was in a daze. She raised her head in astonishment and a handsome, demonic face appeared before her eyes.
The man was dressed in deep purple robes and looked absolutely sophisticated and magnificent. He turned towards Gu Ruoyun when he heard her voice. His eyes fell upon her and he smiled as he said, "Little girl, I've arrived a little late."
"Zixie, how had you gotten out? Aren't you..."
Zixie held onto Gu Ruoyun's waist in a tight embrace. The corners of his lips were curled into a smile, "There's definitely some kind of seal in the Banished Lands which had confined me to to the Ancient Divine Pagoda. Nevertheless, once I sensed that you were in danger, I found a way to break the seal. The only thing was, breaking the seal required quite a bit of time."
"Was that why I was not able to contact you?" Gu Ruoyun frowned, "Also, what price would you have to pay for breaking this seal?"
A peculiar glint flashed across Zixie's eyes when he heard this but he hurriedly concealed it. His handsome, almost godlike features, lit up with a demonic smile. However, when he turned towards the man, his smile slowly faded away and a powerful aura erupted from his body It swept towards him like a hot knife through butter.
"Celestial being, I trust you have been well since we've last met!"
The man looked flabbergasted and asked in a voice drenched in disbelief, "In the Banished Lands, you who had resided within the Ancient Divine Pagoda cannot leave its walls. If you were to insist on forcing your way out, there's only one way! Yet, not only had you forced your way out, you've increased your level of power. Zixie, you should know the consequences of your actions!"
