Once Scorned for My Mixed Spiritual Roots, Now They Weep at My Power! - Chapter 27 - The Five Elements Mysterious Formation

Wen Qing immediately became alert. Someone had infiltrated Xiaozhu Peak! She summoned her Green Bamboo Sword, holding it defensively across her chest, and shouted, “Who dares trespass on Xiaozhu Peak?”

Her voice echoed as if she were shouting in a valley, reverberating endlessly. She held her breath, focusing on her surroundings. Everything was shrouded in thick fog, a vast expanse of white, obscuring her vision.

“Is this a Formation?” Wen Qing murmured to herself. This was clearly the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak; how could a Formation be set here? The intruder must have sneaked in and set it up in advance.

“Darn it, Junior Brother is still in the kitchen. Could he be in danger?” she thought. “The intruder didn’t attack while he was preparing breakfast. They waited until I showed up to activate the Formation. It seems I’m the target.”

“Who could be after me?” Wen Qing frowned, unable to figure out who would want to harm her. But there was no time to ponder. Junior Brother was likely already in the enemy’s hands. She needed to find a way out of the Formation quickly.

“Junior Brother, don’t be afraid. I’m coming to save you!” Wen Qing called out, gripping her Green Bamboo Sword as she dashed forward. She remembered clearly that she wasn’t far from the kitchen. Even with the fog, she should be able to reach it.

Her figure flickered, covering several meters in an instant. Yet, she still couldn’t sense the kitchen’s presence. Surprised, she pushed forward again, racing through the fog without obstruction, but after dozens of meters, she still hadn’t broken free.

“Is the entire Xiaozhu Peak trapped in this Formation?” Wen Qing was shocked. Watching from the kitchen as his Senior Sister circled in place, Xiao Yun felt a pang of guilt. She was worried about his safety, while he was using her to test the Formation. Was he being too heartless?

But then Xiao Yun reconsidered. If he had told her beforehand, she might not have tried her best to break the Formation to spare his feelings. He resolved to make it up to her with some delicious dishes later; surely she wouldn’t hold it against him.

Realizing she couldn’t find an exit, Wen Qing grew more anxious. She wasn’t skilled in Formations, and the longer this dragged on, the more danger Junior Brother faced. If she couldn’t find a way out, she’d have to destroy the Formation.

Spiritual power surged within her, and the temperature around her dropped by dozens of degrees. The icy spirit power spread out, causing the swirling fog to momentarily pause. Xiao Yun, hiding in the kitchen, shivered as if he had been thrown into an ice cellar.

“So this is Senior Sister’s Ice Spiritual Root? Incredible!” he thought. Wen Qing’s voice boomed through the Formation, “Release my Junior Brother, and I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Her words echoed through the Formation, but no one responded.

Wen Qing hesitated no longer. She unleashed the Mysterious Ice Sword Technique, and the Green Bamboo Sword was instantly enveloped in ice, transforming into a gleaming ice sword!

The sword’s brilliance flickered, causing the temperature within the formation to plummet once again.

The piercing cold spread with unstoppable force, turning the area around Wen Qing into a frosty realm.

Sensing the powerful spiritual energy, the Five Elements Mysterious Formation automatically shifted into attack mode.

The forces of the Five Elements, anchored by water spiritual power, intertwined from all directions, creating an unending cycle.

The mist thickened, and suddenly, a dozen vine-like tendrils, as thick as arms, emerged from the ground, reaching menacingly towards Wen Qing.

With a cold scoff, Wen Qing swung the Green Bamboo Sword repeatedly. The seemingly fierce vines were immediately frozen solid by the sword’s icy wind.

With a gentle thrust, the vines shattered into a pile of ice fragments scattered across the ground.

Before Wen Qing could catch her breath, flames erupted at her feet, and in the blink of an eye, she was surrounded by fire.

Wen Qing frowned slightly, sweeping her icy sword aura outward, extinguishing the flames instantly.

At the same time, countless boulders hurtled towards her.

Wen Qing met them with the Green Bamboo Sword, shattering the rocks, which then transformed into flying daggers glinting with cold light.

With a hand gesture, Wen Qing conjured four ice walls around her, causing the daggers to fall harmlessly to the ground upon impact.

“So weak!” Wen Qing muttered, her brow furrowing.

Why were the attacks so feeble?

When the vines first appeared, Wen Qing had been on high alert, ready to fight with all her might.

Yet, the sword wind alone had frozen the vines, and with a mere touch, they crumbled.

She sensed something was amiss then; the ground fire was extinguished with little effort.

The boulders and daggers were merely for show, lacking any real destructive power.

“Could it be that Master has returned to test my cultivation level?” Wen Qing’s face lit up with joy.

“Of course, the Spirit Sword Sect is heavily guarded. How could an intruder sneak in unnoticed? It must be Master!”

Wen Qing immediately relaxed.

If Master was testing her, there was no need to worry.

She had to perform well, to show Master the progress she had made over the past few months.

She couldn’t let Master down!

With this thought, Wen Qing fully activated her cultivation at the fifth layer of the Golden Core Realm.

The temperature around her plummeted sharply, and the kitchen of Xiaozhu Peak within the formation was instantly covered in frost!

An immense cold surged towards the Green Bamboo Sword in her hand.

Xiao Yun felt as if his bones were about to freeze. In the distance, his Senior Sister stood proudly amidst the snowstorm, like an ice fairy.

The overwhelming spiritual power surged in all directions, transforming the surroundings into a world of ice and snow!

Xiao Yun could sense that the Five Elements Mysterious Formation was on the verge of collapse under the powerful ice spirit power.

“Oh no, Senior Sister is about to unleash her ultimate move!”

Xiao Yun felt the oppressive force of the impending strike.

A fear of death welled up from deep within him.

Seeing Wen Qing aiming the Green Bamboo Sword at the kitchen, ready to strike, Xiao Yun shouted urgently, “Senior Sister, hold your hand!”

Wen Qing’s ice spirit power was at its peak, this was her strongest strike!

She wasn’t worried about Master being unable to withstand it.

Her only concern was that Master might find the strike too weak, disappointing him after all his teachings.

Just as Wen Qing was about to release the strike!

The surrounding mist suddenly dissipated, revealing the kitchen of Xiaozhu Peak not far away.

And her Junior Brother stood at the entrance of Xiaozhu Peak, eyes wide, waving at her, “Senior Sister, hold your hand!”

The sword intent had already been concentrated, and by the time Xiao Yun’s words reached Wen Qing’s ears, it was too late.

The overwhelming sword intent, accompanied by a flurry of ice and snow, slashed towards Xiao Yun.

Wen Qing was shocked!

Where was Master? Why couldn’t she see him?

How could her Junior Brother Xiao Yun possibly withstand such a strike?

In this critical moment, Wen Qing immediately reversed her cultivation technique.

She forcibly withdrew most of the strike’s power.

Simultaneously, she exerted all her strength to alter the direction of the strike.

The Green Bamboo Sword, carrying the powerful sword intent, sliced past Xiao Yun’s side, heading towards the kitchen behind him.
