Chapter 1531 Human



The longer this went on, the greater their disadvantage would be. Due to the cold qi, they couldn't use their qi to communicate silently with each other. As more time passed, their innate understanding of each other's intentions would become less and less useful. Everyone understood now that it was best to feign weakness, but as more variables continued to pile up, was it guaranteed that they'd stay on the same page?

Once that happened, they'd be forced to speak out with their real plans, thus putting them at an even worse disadvantage.

A full half minute ticked by before the arcs of lightning finally stopped.

Ten immediately inspected his body. He wanted to sigh a breath of relief, believing that the lightning wasn't as big a deal as he thought, but that was when he froze.

'This is not good…' Ten's mental state finally had its first crack.

Laymen knew jellyfish for their shocks, but less people were aware that jellyfish were actually poison laden creatures. Those streaks of lightning, they weren't meant to scorch you to death like normal lightning did. No, it was meant to penetrate into their bodies to deliver a deadly poison!

Neurotoxins, they were some of the most terrible poisons in existence. They could shut down the function of the nervous system, forcing a person to lose their ability to complete even the simplest tasks. They would lose control of their movements, their thoughts, and even their most basic functions.

Ten knew that one strike of this lightning was enough to incapacitate them as dao experts. Their bodies were too powerful. But, what about ten strikes? A hundred? A thousand?

As the toxins built higher and higher, just how much could they take? Would they lose control of their bodies entirely by the end of it all? Would their only choice be to sit and wait for death?

A cold light pierced through the ocean, emitted from Dyon's gaze. The King Jellyfish could emit that level of attack only once an hour. With the effects of the cold qi, the dao experts couldn't expel the toxins with their enigmatic energy. In the end, Dyon just needed to stall until they were too weak to fight back any longer.

'Do you know who they are now, Ri?'

'Mm. Two are bird beasts, three are cat beasts, and their leader has a strand of dragon blood. His beast transformation is the one you need to be most worried about as it'll provide the greatest boost to his fighting prowess. His bloodline might even be able to directly suppress the poison.'

Dyon nodded. He was under no illusions that things would be easy from now on.

The King Jellyfish are great trump cards, but their attack just now revealed that Dyon was relying on beasts.

Dyon was certain that Aritzia informed BPA that the Rainbow Kun Peng was involved in this operation, or else they wouldn't have made a move. This means that they know that this was related to the elves and likely expected that beast tamers would be involved. As a result, Dyon didn't bother to hide it. Even if the reasoning behind their deduction was false, their conclusion was true.

Dyon also had to be careful for another reason. Although they weren't using their enigmatic qi now, that didn't mean they wouldn't if the situation became desperate. Cold qi wasn't an end all be all, they might choose to accept the damage in order to survive a little longer. So, Dyon would never risk approaching himself. Instead…

'It's time. Let me show you a small bit of the hell I've made for Aritzia.'

In that moment, two magnificent sentinels appeared. Their bodies swirled with beautiful silver moon jades and enticing gold star jades. I think you should take a look at

The moon jades responded well to the cold qi, absorbing it wantonly with excitement while the star jade balanced them perfectly.

By now, the two elvin tomb guards had finally reached the middle dao level. Not just this, but they had also unlocked numerous abilities after being upgraded by the Mending Core. They would be the jailors of this living hell…

"What of the situation in Sapientia City?" Aritzia asked, believing the matters of the middle tier to be handled.

The attendant coughed uncomfortably. "Comet Lord Gallagher seems to have sealed herself away in a dome-like supreme grade treasure…."

"What are you not telling me?" Aritzia said sharply.

"She… She killed numerous members of the Guild Guard in a fit of rage due to the words of a newly appointed captain. Then she lay her dome over the Weapon's Guild and told everyone to…" The attendant coughed. "'Piss off'."

"Even if it's a supreme grade dome, she's just a celestial."

"This… She seems to have refined 70% of the treasure already… And since its inherently an auxiliary type treasure, its defensive abilities are very high."

"She can't possibly have the energy needed to last so long."

"You see… According to reports, she supposedly took out several billion transcendent stones to taunt us. Then she closed off our ability to see what she was doing inside. Also, the make of a supreme grade treasure is very high. Even if it ran out of energy, it could protect itself for several days, if not weeks."

"Why haven't the guild masters made a move yet?"

The attendant seemed to have a cold. "Um… The Weapon's Smith Guild Master seems to be very fond of Comet Lord Gallagher and no one is willing to offend him. He said he'd only act if a dao expert came. He wouldn't lay a hand on a junior."

Aritzia chuckled. "Human emotions are complex, aren't they?"

The Sapientia couldn't send in their own experts or else they'd ruin their façade of neutrality. It was also terrible for optics if the inventor of the Sapientia Network was captured by the Sapientia. They wanted to rely on the guilds to maintain their distance, but who knew this would happen?

"It doesn't matter." Aritzia said in the end. "Even cultivators have their own limits. Maintain the sealing formation no matter the cost. And… ensure this Weapon's Guild Master keeps his word. Should he decide not to act when necessary…"

Aritzia didn't finish her words, but the shiver of cold and fit of coughing the attendant went into said it all.
