The remaining cultivators were shocked.
The painting didn’t have any spiritual energy fluctuations, but it could make people disappear in the blink of an eye.
A sharp-eyed cultivator cried out in surprise:
“Their souls are destroyed!”
What!?
The cultivators present were even more shocked.
Without any spiritual energy fluctuations, it could destroy one’s soul. This was indeed the method of the Almighty in the Immortal World.
Only the laws of the Great Dao in the legends could have a similar effect.
At this point, no cultivator dared to covet that calligraphy.
They were even afraid to avoid it, for fear of getting involved.
When Yu Hongye saw this scene, she was so moved that tears fell.
It turned out that Senior Liu wasn’t just talking, he had really thought it through for her.
Yu Hongye thought of everything that happened between her and Senior Liu, as if it was a lifetime ago.
Was everything that had happened around her real?
She pinched herself lightly.
It hurt a little.
It didn’t seem like a dream.
Only then did Yu Hongye remember that Senior Liu’s calligraphy hadn’t been retrieved yet.
She walked toward the calligraphy and stood three feet away from it, hesitating.
The cultivators were also curious whether this woman could retrieve the painting or not.
If she succeeded, it would mean two things.
First, the calligraphy piece had a spiritual nature and they could never be greedy again.
Second, the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, Yu Hongye, was the confidant of that peerless expert. In the future, they would definitely pay a visit to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and apologize for snatching the calligraphy piece today!
If even Yu Hongye, who had come with the calligraphy piece, failed, it meant that the calligraphy piece did not have a spiritual nature. That was all.
There were many ways to take the calligraphy piece.
In any case, it was not a loss. The group of cultivators refused to leave and waited patiently for the result like wild wolves in the darkness.
Yu Hongye, who had the wisdom of the orchid heart, also guessed their thoughts.
After taking a deep breath, she decided to continue trusting Senior Liu.
If she had not chosen to trust Senior Liu before, she might have died on the spot in order to snatch the calligraphy piece.
Yu Hongye’s hand trembled as she reached for the calligraphy piece.
Everything was smooth sailing.
She didn’t encounter any difficulties.
Yu Hongye happily held the calligraphy piece and felt that the aura on the calligraphy piece was very close to her.
As if to welcome her, the calligraphy piece even trembled slightly.
After thinking for a moment, she smiled.
She was really stupid. She was already Senior Liu’s woman, so of course she was close to Senior Liu’s aura.
Now, it was time to return!
Yu Hongye looked at the cultivators still surrounding her and immediately became furious.
It seemed that there were still some who wouldn’t give up.
Yu Hongye shouted:
“Everyone, as you have seen, those who tried to get their hands on that painting are all dead. I hope you won’t follow in their footsteps.”
“Now, I’m going back to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. I hope everyone will make way.
“Those who leave are friends of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. In the future, you can choose a suitable magic treasure in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.”
“If after ten breaths, those who are still in front of me will be regarded as enemies of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and that Lord!”
Hearing Yu Hongye’s words, the cultivators were shocked beyond words.
Judging from her tone, she seemed to have become the spokesperson of that important figure!
She was definitely the confidant of that important figure.
“Hiss.”
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
After learning from the previous experience, most of the cultivators tactfully fled far away.
They had originally come for opportunities or magical treasures. Since the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had said so, there was no need for them to be unlucky again.
Judging from the ‘big spending’ of the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, they were also clear that the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had the ability to gift everyone a magical treasure.
Life was short, so why should they make themselves uncomfortable?
The crowd dispersed.
What Yu Hongye didn’t expect was that there were more people left this time than those who had snatched the calligraphy pieces.
There were more than twenty people.
Yu Hongye sneered:
“What do you mean by this? Are you prepared to be enemies of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets?”
“Haven’t the people who died earlier made you give up?”
After Yu Hongye finished speaking, she started to size up those cultivators.
Her heart trembled. Those people were all the people who had been talking about her at the foot of the mountain.
Among those cultivators, the leader said, “I saw it long ago. You are a fox using the tiger’s power. You completely relied on that painting to kill the Soul Formation stage figures.”
“Of course we can’t do anything to that painting. However, it doesn’t mean that we can’t do anything to the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.”
At this point, that Cultivator’s expression turned savage.
“As long as we tie you up, won’t there be as many similar paintings as we want?”
The other cultivators all echoed:
“Yes, there will be as many as we want. You little lady, you have delicate skin and tender flesh. I think you must have done some dirty flesh trade with that so-called Lord. He definitely won’t bear to see you die like a beautiful flower.”
“Hahahaha, that’s right. People like you who cheated to get the inheritance of the cave must be punished by everyone!”
Yu Hongye was so angry that her face turned cold when she heard their dirty words.
Moreover, she really didn’t have any way to counter them.
Just as those people said, her own combat strength wasn’t strong, so she could only rely on external objects to protect herself.
The magic treasure in her storage bracelet had been depleted because of the Sword Qi resistance.
And the calligraphy in her hand was out of her control.
The words of those people had really hit her Achilles’ heel.
However, she had decided that she would rather sacrifice her life than let them use her to threaten her Senior.
Thinking of the ‘flesh trade’ that person had mentioned earlier, Yu Hongye was so ashamed and angry that she started to tremble.
“Come on, at worst, you’ll fight to the death. Don’t even think about getting away with it,” Yu Hongye screamed shrilly.
“Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, why do you have to be so impulsive…”
Before the cultivator could finish his words, a strange phenomenon appeared again.
The scroll in Yu Hongye’s hand glowed with golden light and formed a Sword Qi squall around Yu Hongye.
Then, countless delicate micro-sized Sword Qi passed through the squall.
In just an instant, more than half of the cultivators on the scene were killed or injured.
“Oh no, let’s go…”
A cultivator whose chest had been pierced shouted in horror.
They didn’t expect that the Sword Qi in the calligraphy could take the initiative to attack.
Yu Hongye was also shocked.
She stood still.
By the time she reacted, there was no one alive around her.
Yu Hongye hugged the calligraphy and two lines of tears flowed down her face.
“Senior…”
She understood that this was definitely a backup plan left behind by her Senior.
It was laughable that she thought that she had calculated all the Heavenly secrets, but in the end, she didn’t expect many things. Instead, she let Senior Liu handle it for her.
After calming herself down, Yu Hongye boarded the flying boat and left.
The cultivators who were hiding in the distance and watching in the Startling Rainbow Valley also gradually left.
After those cultivators left, they told the outside world what they had seen and heard in the Startling Rainbow Valley.
Some forces even invited the cultivators who had been to Startling Rainbow Valley to provide them with first-hand information in order to obtain the information.
From then on, the status of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets in the world of cultivators rose.
It was a force under ‘that Lord’.
Even if they couldn’t curry favor with it, at least they couldn’t offend it.
After that, the business of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets instantly exploded.
In just a month, the amount of spirit stones and various resources earned by the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets far exceeded the resources given to Liu Changgong by the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Yu Mingzhi couldn’t help but smile.
These were all things to be discussed in the future.
