117 The Left Protector’s Sacrifice

The left protector’s voice exploded through the world, and even the thunderous roars paled in comparison!

Zhou Yu looked around with a frown, but he did not see anyone. Where was the left protector? How could he make such a shocking sound without revealing any aura?

“Heretic Saintess, don’t be afraid. This is a defensive barrier to prevent the Right Elder from stealing my bones. I’ll take it back now. Hehehe!” The left protector shouted, but Zhou Yun still could not replace any trace of him.

Suddenly, countless skeletons emerged from the ground. These skeletons were condensed together by an invisible force, turning into a thousand-foot skeletal hand!

“Boom!” in an instant, the thousand-foot skeletal hand suddenly swung its fist toward the sky and forcibly exploded the thunderbolts!

Zhou Yun’s sharp senses noticed that the countless lightning bolts circulating on the surface of the skeleton did not cause any damage to the giant skeletal hand!

Zhou Yun watched as the giant skeletal hand swatted away all the dark clouds as if it was swatting flies. Only then did it shrink back into the ground and disappear! He felt that if he were to face the skeletal hand head on, he would not be able to fight back at all!

“Hahaha, this old man forgot how to turn off the array, so I can only destroy it. Heretic Saintess, please come this way. Hehehe!” the left protector’s loud voice continued to reverberate through the world. Zhou Yun then saw the mountain slowly begin to shake.

Zhou Yun was taken aback. He saw the mountain in front of him shake slowly. Following that, all the plants outside the mountain fell like the outer layer of skin, revealing the tens of millions of bones beneath!

There was not a single piece of flesh hanging from the bones. It was as if they had been dead for a long time, and only the bones themselves were left.

“It’s been a long time since we last met. I wonder how the Heretic Saintess’s travels have been among the five sects? As early as a thousand years ago, the sect leader had said that in this world, except for the disciples of the five sects, no one else would be able to step into the nascent soul stage. I wonder if you still remember, Heretic Saintess?” The left protector said.

As Zhou Yun listened, he slowly furrowed his brows. Why was it that this world could not produce nascent soul cultivators other than the disciples of the five sects?

He had never heard of any cultivators above the golden core stage in the outside world. However, he had never heard of any elder in the five sects who was in seclusion. On the surface, the strongest person in Spirit Valley was only Ling Qingyun, the late-stage golden core sect leader.

Zhou Yun felt that if he followed Meng Yuxin, he would be able to discover the secrets of the five sects!

“A thousand years ago, before the sect leader left, he told us to be defeated by the five sects and to take all our spiritual corpses to this godforsaken place to lie low. Now that the thousand-year promise has passed, I’m about to fall from the half-step nascent soul stage. Heretic Saintess, do you know what other orders the sect leader left behind?” The left protector continued to ask.

This was the first time Zhou Yun had heard of the half-step nascent soul stage. He did not expect that not only did the Heretic Sect have more golden core spiritual corpses than the five sects, but they also had a half-step nascent soul cultivator who was infinitely close to the nascent soul stage.

If he didn’t guess wrong, it wasn’t just the current left protector. The right protector might also be a powerful half-step nascent soul!

Originally, Zhou Yun had killed the seriously injured Jian Xin through a series of condensed attacks. He thought that he could exert his strength in the golden core stage with his foundation establishment cultivation. Now, a half-step golden core actually appeared among the heretic cultivators!

He thought about it. Perhaps he could follow Meng Yuxin to see the secrets of this world and improve his cultivation before making any plans.

“Oh? Was the left protector actually on the verge of falling to the half-step nascent soul stage? Could it be that the countless corpses that accompanied you here over the past thousand years have not been able to slow the decline of your cultivation?” One of the spiritual corpses said. Zhou Yun didn’t know why, but he could hear the mockery in Meng Yuxin’s voice towards the left protector.

“Heretic Saintess!” The left protector bellowed, and the sound waves in the world reverberated. The left protector was furious. He had listened to the sect leader’s arrangements and had not dared to take action for the past thousand years, hiding in a place without any spiritual energy and struggling at death’s door!

A thousand years! In this godforsaken place, he did not absorb any spiritual energy, nor did he obtain any bones. He did not even communicate with anyone other than the right protector!

If not for the fact that he was already a half-step nascent soul and had to spend a long time in closed-door cultivation to reduce the consumption of his spiritual energy and kill time, he would have gone crazy!

“Heretic Saintess! The sect leader didn’t hesitate to use his cultivation that was extremely close to the nascent soul stage to kill those few little golden cores of the five upright sects so that all the heretic cultivators would be publicly exterminated by the five sects and hide in this spiritual energy deprived place. Why exactly is this?” The left protector pressed on. His voice was filled with anger. The countless skeletons on the ground trembled as they stared at Meng Yuxin in the sky!

Zhou Yun was merely standing next to Meng Yuxin, but his heart tightened when he felt the gazes of the countless skeletons. He felt his heart beating wildly in an instant, and he couldn’t breathe even though he was breathing heavily!

“Left protector, you’re a disciple who slowly started cultivating after entering the Heretic Sect, aren’t you? You were appreciated by the sect leader, and then you cultivated diligently step by step from an ordinary disciple to the position of the only two protectors in the great Heretic Sect. that’s why you’re different from the right protector. you’ve been guarding this place without any complaints.” The spiritual corpse sighed and spoke slowly.

“That is indeed the case. Therefore, I’ll hold on to the sect leader’s request for a thousand years, even if there’s no reason! But now, a thousand years had passed. Heretic Saintess, if you don’t have any more orders from the sect leader, then I will no longer regard you as the Heretic Saintess of this generation. I... I will leave the Heretic Sect to replace the upright sects to take revenge for the sect leader.” as the left protector spoke, he muttered to himself for a final moment before telling her the final thing he wanted to do.

Zhou Yun’s heart clenched. The only person the five sects could bring out right now was Ling Qingyun. However, she was only at the late-stage golden core. Zhou Yun compared Ling Qingyun to the left protector. He shook his head. Whether it was in terms of aura or the strength that Ling Qingyun had displayed, she would be completely crushed by the left protector!

Zhou Yun looked at Meng Yuxin. He didn’t know what Meng Yuxin’s next step would be. If the left protector was allowed to leave the Heretic Sect, the five sects would definitely be annihilated!

“Left protector, I’ll first say that you’ve worked hard. Just take it as the sect leader said this.” The spiritual corpse was silent for a moment before it slowly spoke. The left protector did not reply, but Zhou Yun could feel that the pressure on the gaze that was directed at the skeleton had lessened.

“But before I continue, can I first ask about the right protector’s location?” The spiritual corpse asked.

“The right protector hasn’t appeared in a hundred years. From time to time, that guy would go to the border of the five sects and use his half-step nascent soul cultivation to abduct many cultivators to refine their souls and skin them to cultivate. In the past thousand years, his cultivation level had stabilized a lot. As for now, he should still be extracting the souls of mortals in Siyu City.” the left protector didn’t understand why Meng Yuxin had asked this question, but he still answered.

“Is it like this? Thanks for your service, left protector. The words left by the sect leader a thousand years ago were... Kill yourself and then die for the Heretic Sect’s great plan.” The spiritual corpse said to the left protector. Its words were completely emotionless as they lightly echoed in the air.
