Chapter 474 One thought gives life, one thought dies
However, she didn't expect that she would "retreat" so quickly, and they would look over even faster. When they saw her from afar, while the two were still fighting, they waved to her and shouted "Fellow Daoist Jiang," drawing everyone's attention.
Jiang Liqian's lips twitched, and she could only force a smile in response, while introducing Shui Lian'er and the others beside her to Chunxiao and Kongjue.
Shui Lian'er had never met any disciples from the sects in Nanzhou before, and she was particularly curious about their local customs and culture. As it turned out, these two were from sects with opposing ideologies. One advocated doing whatever one pleased, while the other insisted on self-discipline and suppressing desires. When they saw Shui Lian'er, who looked like a "little white flower," their eyes practically lit up with greed, and they started to flatter her.
If Qin Beiyao hadn't sensed the situation was turning against him, and hadn't intervened to retaliate against these two "ill-intentioned" individuals, his Lian'er would have been gone!
"Tsk tsk, Fellow Daoist Jiang, your sect truly lives up to its reputation as the best in the world. Not a single disciple under your tutelage should be underestimated." Kong Jue walked to Jiang Liqian's side with a regretful expression, his eyes already darting eagerly towards Shi Tou and Su Yanqing behind her.
"..." Jiang Liqian.
So, is Jinshan Temple really short of staff?
Shi Tou and Su Yanqing were both shrewd enough that, although they didn't know anything about this Buddhist disciple, they immediately slipped away when they sensed that the visitor was up to no good.
Kongjue had no choice but to give up after failing to achieve his goal.
To be honest, his favorite was still Jiang Liqian. Her eyes were so clear, as if the world's chaos was nothing more than a fleeting moment of splendor, a drop in the ocean.
Her heart was too full.
It was so full that no more filth could squeeze in, and the darkness, lacking its entanglement with the light, revealed its barrenness.
The Buddha is compassionate and saves those "prisoners in the sea of suffering" who are unable to save themselves.
Unfortunately, the other party had already joined the Tianqian Sect and was surrounded by friends, so he didn't need his "degree" at all.
Is this what Buddha meant by "no affinity"?
Kongjue seemed to be deep in thought.
Jiang Liqian felt uneasy under his gaze, but fortunately, the preliminary preparations for the Water-Separating Breath Array had been completed, and the next step was to set up the array.
Everyone present followed Ying Shuang's instructions and sat down in their respective positions according to the arrangement of the Water-Exchange Breath Formation. Little Golden Peach and Little Phoenix entered the formation side by side.
Apart from Little Golden Peach, Little Phoenix, Chunxiao, and Kongjue, there were forty-eight other people in this formation, all of whom were disciples of the Ye family. Among them, there were twenty-eight Nascent Soul cultivators, ten Deity Transformation cultivators, three Void Return cultivators, three Body Integration cultivators, three Mahayana cultivators, and one more, who was also the last Ye family patriarch to arrive here, a Tribulation Transcending expert.
As Jiang Liqian watched these powerful figures enter the formation, people she rarely encountered outside, she slowly held her breath.
Basically, all of the Ye family's strongest assets are here. They are fighting against fate; if they don't succeed, they will die trying.
Jiang Liqian, Qin Beiyao, and Shui Lian'er stood aside, barely fulfilling their duty of protecting the formation. Their main responsibility was to stay there to prevent leaks and unnecessary risks.
This formation is so incredibly expensive, requiring countless rare materials, many of which are unique and priceless treasures, which shows how powerful it is and how dangerous it is.
All the Ye family members who come here have signed a life-or-death agreement. On the contrary, in the Spring Dawn Formation, which is the core of the formation, Kong Jue and the two divine beasts are safe.
Jiang Liqian was worried about Xiao Jintao's safety. From the moment Xiao Jintao entered the array's range, her eyes never left it. Shui Lian'er, who was standing next to her, was also very nervous and held her hand tightly.
Jiang Liqian thought that once everyone was present, the Water-Exchange Breath Array would be activated. However, to her surprise, while everyone was preparing to form hand seals in their respective positions, the last person to enter the array would be Ye An'an, the most esteemed young master of the Ye family.
With a solemn expression and sharp, cold eyes, she sat down in the very center of the formation, flicking her sleeves.
As a direct disciple of the top cultivator, Master Xiu Zhongdao, Jiang Liqian immediately recognized the danger level of this location.
No, it's not so much dangerous as it is a "gate of life and death".
The gate of life and death.
One thought is life, the other thought is death.
If the formation is successful, no one will die; but if the formation fails, she will be reduced to ashes in an instant, sacrificing herself to save the lives of others.
"Ye An'an!" Jiang Liqian subconsciously took a step forward and called out her name.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
There was also a deep sorrow, shock, and reluctance.
Even if it's for the lives of the entire clan, even if it's for the future of the entire clan, but... but...
Hearing her call, Ye An'an raised her eyes, turned her head to look at her, shook her head silently, and then smiled softly.
The tassel butterflies that fell from her dark hair fluttered and flew away little by little in the cold night wind.
Jiang Liqian understood what she meant.
Ye An'an turned around and nodded to Ying Shuang outside the formation, indicating that they could begin.
Unable to hold back her tears, Ying Shuang's hands moved swiftly, and a beam of fiery red spiritual light suddenly fell into the formation, like a flame leaping onto dry firewood, instantly igniting a raging fire.
The Water-Exchange Breath Array instantly lit up with a blinding, scorching red light, which shot into the sky and illuminated most of the dark night sky in the blink of an eye. The scalding heat wave directly forced Jiang Liqian and the others outside the array to retreat more than ten steps.
Shui Lian'er was almost burned, but Jiang Liqian and Qin Beiyao intervened in time to shield her from the heat, and she was unharmed.
Su Yanqing hadn't expected the formation to be so powerful, and he was in a very sorry state when he tried to dodge it. Shi Tou was much better off than him, completely unharmed, as if he had already guessed from which direction and at what time the heat wave would hit him.
Ying Shuang had to keep a close eye on the magic array, as its success or failure was closely related to her own. She had no time to look after them, so in her haste, she threw a water shield at them, forming a water curtain barrier around them to block the heat waves surging out of the magic array.
Time passed second by second, and Jiang Liqian and the others inside the water shield could barely see the situation inside the magic array. All they could see were large patches of red, like magma gushing from the ground, threatening to melt the mountain.
The entire mountain range seemed to fall completely silent at this moment. No one dared to make a sound. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the Water-Exchange Breath Array to successfully draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and break the curse that had been pressing down on the Ye family for generations.
Shui Lian'er was so anxious that she was almost sweating. She gripped Jiang Liqian's hand tighter and tighter. If Qin Beiyao hadn't noticed in time and told her to let go, Jiang Liqian's fingers would have been broken.
However, Jiang Liqian felt no pain in her hand at the moment. Her eyes were fixed on the magic circle, and she dared not relax her tense nerves for a moment.
