Chapter 644: The Disaster Comes Again
In the world of cultivation, since Yun Yao and Chu Mochen founded the "Inquiry Pavilion", the new rules of heaven are like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. The power of the true Dao gradually spreads to every corner, and casual cultivators emerge like mushrooms after a spring rain. With their yearning for freedom, they condense the faint golden spiritual veins that shine with the light of hope, becoming a new landscape in the world of cultivation.
In the Heart-Searching Pavilion, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood side by side, looking at the practitioners who came to seek guidance in front of the pavilion, and they were filled with joy. Liu Yan'er, the head of the "Jiehuo Hall", was seriously teaching a group of new disciples how to face the darkness in their hearts. Her voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the courtyard: "Only by facing yourself can you break through the mental barriers and pursue the way of heart-searching." The disciples all listened attentively with bright eyes.
However, under the calm, undercurrents surge. Deep in the clouds far above the horizon, a conspiracy is quietly brewing. The Guardian Alliance, a force formed by the secret collusion of old sects, is deeply afraid of the rise of the Heart-Questioning Pavilion. They frequently gather in the secret cave to discuss how to suppress this new force, in an attempt to restore the old Heavenly Dao order in the past when they controlled everything.
"As long as the Questioning Heart Pavilion is not eliminated, the dignity of our sect will be gone!" An old man in a purple-gold robe opened his eyes wide and slammed the ground heavily with the dragon-headed cane in his hand, making a dull sound.
"Humph, they are just two young brats, trying to tamper with the way of heaven is simply ridiculous. We must wipe them out completely before they are fully grown." Another middle-aged man with a white face and no beard echoed, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Amid the noise of the crowd, a tall man with a strange demonic aura slowly stood up. He was the deputy hall master who escaped from the main hall of the Burning Heaven Hall that year. Now he has joined the outer heaven. There is a more powerful and evil demon soul in his body, and his strength is unfathomable. He looked around with a cold look and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I have obtained some power from the outer heaven. This time, I will definitely destroy the Heart-seeking Pavilion."
Just as the Heart-Searching Pavilion was immersed in a peaceful cultivation atmosphere, the army of the Dao-Defending Alliance came surging like a dark cloud covering the sun. For a moment, the sky was dyed as dark as ink, rolling demonic clouds were surging, lightning and thunder were flashing, and fierce attacks were pouring down like a rainstorm.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen noticed something was wrong and instantly teleported to the top of the pavilion. When they looked up, their faces suddenly changed. They saw the deputy hall master standing in the front of the Guardian Alliance team. His eyes had turned into a strange blood red, and there was a demonic aura around him, as if he was a demon from hell. He waved his hands, and black light containing the power of time and space turbulence gathered in his palms, whistling towards the Questioning Heart Pavilion.
"Hmph, today is the day when your Pavilion of Inquiry will be destroyed!" The deputy hall master laughed wildly, the sound was like the cry of a night owl, creepy enough to make people's hair stand on end.
Yun Yao's eyes condensed, and she unhesitatingly summoned the Sword of Against Heaven. The sword instantly ignited with raging fire, and the light illuminated most of the sky. She shouted, "You want to destroy my Heart-Searching Pavilion? Wishful thinking!" After that, she rushed towards the enemy formation like lightning. The Sword of Against Heaven was wrapped in a majestic force, and the demonic clouds collapsed wherever it passed.
Chu Mochen followed closely behind, unsheathing the Heart-Searching Sword, and the clear sound of the sword resounded through the sky. The Dao patterns on the sword body flickered with light, emitting a protective force. He and Yun Yao cooperated tacitly, one attacking and the other defending, like a pair of war gods fighting side by side, protecting the Heart-Searching Pavilion behind them.
However, as the battle intensified, Yun Yao gradually realized that something was wrong. The deputy hall master's attack method was extremely strange, and each black light contained a familiar power, which was surprisingly similar to the "time and space turbulence" in Guixu.
“How can he possess such power?” Yun Yao was shocked and the sword moves in her hand paused slightly.
Just as she was distracted, the deputy hall master keenly caught this flaw, and a ferocious look flashed in his eyes. He suddenly increased his magic output, and a black beam as thick as a dragon, with enough power to tear the world apart, came straight towards Yun Yao.
Seeing this, Chu Mochen's face changed drastically. He flew in front of Yun Yao without hesitation, holding the Heart-Searching Sword across his chest, trying his best to resist this fatal blow. There was a loud "bang", and light spread everywhere. The aftermath of the impact swept around like a strong wind. The building of the Heart-Searching Pavilion was shaky under this force, and many disciples were blown away.
Chu Mochen groaned, and his chest was hit by the power of the demon soul, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. His figure flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and hit the wall of the Heart-Searching Pavilion heavily, the bricks and stones cracked, and smoke and dust filled the air. Under this attack, the Dao pattern on the Heart-Searching Sword also showed a few cracks, and the light dimmed a lot.
"Chu Mochen!" Yun Yao was extremely anxious upon seeing this. She shouted loudly and rushed towards Chu Mochen desperately.
However, how could the deputy hall master miss such a good opportunity? He took advantage of Yun Yao's distraction and launched another fierce attack. Black space-time turbulence forces entangled Yun Yao like a ghost, trying to imprison her.
Yun Yao gritted her teeth, forcing herself to calm down, and waved the sword against the sky in her hand wildly, forming a flame shield in front of her to resist the enemy's attack. But because she was worried about Chu Mochen, her breath was disordered, and her defense gradually showed flaws.
At the same time, the drawbacks of Yun Yao's overuse of Heavenly Dao power also began to emerge. Her spiritual veins were madly backfiring in her body, like a sharp blade piercing through her meridians, and the severe pain made her forehead sweat like rain. Every time she swung the sword, it was like bearing a heavy burden, and her arms trembled.
“Am I really going to die here today?” A trace of despair flashed through Yun Yao’s heart, but soon, the light of determination in her eyes ignited again, “Never! I must protect the Heart-Searching Pavilion and protect everyone’s hope!”
At this critical moment, the disciples of the Heart-Searching Pavilion showed amazing unity and courage. When they saw the Pavilion Master and the First Master in trouble, no one backed down and they all gathered together spontaneously.
A young disciple stepped forward first, lighting a heart lamp in his hand. The faint light flickered in the darkness, but he was extremely determined. "I am willing to protect the Heart-Questioning Pavilion with my true heart!" He shouted, and then other disciples responded. Heart lamps lit up one after another, gathering into a dazzling sea of light.
The light shield formed by these true Dao rhymes was like an indestructible barrier, blocking Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, blocking the deputy hall master's fatal blow. As the light flashed, the power of the demon soul was gradually consumed, and it let out a series of shrill roars.
Yun Yao looked at those young and determined faces, and her eyes could not help but become moist. Some of these disciples had only been in school for a few months, and some had not even experienced a real battle, but at this moment, they stood up without hesitation for the sake of their conscience and to protect this free and pure land.
"Everyone..." Yun Yao choked up, a warm current surged in her heart, dispelling some fatigue and despair. She knew very well that what they were guarding at this moment was not only a heart-searching pavilion, but also the sacred right of every life to pursue freedom. This power was stronger than any magic weapon or magical power.
Yun Yao slowly stood up, trying to support her weak body. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the chaotic spiritual power in her body, and quickly formed seals with her hands in front of her chest. As the hand seals were formed, a "Seal of the Heart" composed of pure Taoism slowly emerged in her palms, emitting a soft and mysterious light.
"Today, I will let you see the power of the wishes of all living beings!" Yun Yao's eyes were cold as he stared at the deputy hall master in the distance and suddenly pushed out the Seal of Questioning the Heart.
The Heart Seal quickly enlarged in the air, turning into a giant golden palm, which slammed fiercely towards the deputy hall master with endless majesty and power. The evil clouds along the way were instantly dispersed, and the space seemed to be distorted by this force.
The deputy hall master's face suddenly changed when he saw this. He could feel the terrifying oppression contained in this power. In a panic, he hurriedly mobilized all his magic power to try to resist. However, when the Heart Seal touched him, he couldn't help but let out a scream.
"How dare you use the will of all living beings to fight against the outer heaven?" The deputy hall master widened his eyes, full of fear and disbelief, "They will become your weakness sooner or later! You are courting death!"
Yun Yao was unmoved. Her eyes were as firm as a rock. "You are wrong. This is not a weakness. It is my strongest backing! It is a source of strength that you will never understand!"
Under the light of the Heart-Searching Seal, the vice-hall master's demonic soul power was suppressed and purified bit by bit. His body began to tremble violently, and the demonic energy around him receded like a tide.
This thrilling battle left the Heart-Questioning Pavilion in ruins, but the light in the disciples' eyes became more and more blazing. They knew that this was just a difficult challenge on the road to defying the heavens, and as long as everyone worked together, nothing could stop them from pursuing freedom and rewriting their destiny.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other's scars and smiled. The road was full of thorns, but they never regretted it, because they were guarding the most precious thing in their hearts. The road ahead is still long, and they know that there are more challenges waiting for them, but as long as they walk hand in hand, they will be fearless.
