Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

……

The cold air around Mo Zi condensed into a three-meter-long ice cone, aimed at the most violently surging chaos in the barrier.

"broken!"

The ice cone smashed down with a chilling murderous intent, and the dark purple barrier suddenly cracked into spider-web-like patterns, emitting a sharp buzzing sound.

"Hurry!"

She growled and took the lead in passing through the crack.

"open!"

Bai Tang followed closely behind, and the golden light of the Justice Bell surged, shattering the oncoming fire snake into powder;

Wu Song swept his whistle stick across, and the red rhythmic pattern rolled away the chaotic tentacles like flames.

Xiaoqing threw out the crystal blue water silk, wrapped around Dafei and Mingyue and quickly followed. The water curtain spread out behind them, dispersing all the remaining chaotic power.

As soon as the cats landed on the ground, the cracks behind them began to wriggle rapidly like living things, with dark purple lines intertwining and entwining, but in an instant, the barrier was restored to its original state.

"?"

Mo Zi stared at the barrier that had closed again, a cold light flashing in his ice-blue eyes. He reached out and gently stroked the dark purple lines remaining on the surface of the barrier.

The strange rhythm coming from her fingertips made her pupils shrink slightly - this fluctuation of chaotic power had a deliberately choreographed rhythm and was by no means naturally formed.

"It's the cat."

She suddenly spoke, her voice so cold that it seemed to be filled with ice.

Bai Tang's tail instantly exploded:

"Sister Azi, are you saying... this chaos was caused intentionally by the cat?"

Wu Song gripped his whistle tightly, the red rhythmic patterns swirling violently, and he snorted coldly:

"You cunning bastard! If you dare to have evil thoughts in Da Zong, I will make him know how powerful Da Zong is!"

Da Fei scratched his head and said in a silly voice:

"Whoever is causing this trouble, let's find him out together!"

"Do not……"

Mo Zi retracted his hand, and the ice armor made a subtle crisp sound in the air:

"To be able to control chaos on this scale, the opponent is definitely not an ordinary person."

She turned her head to look at the tower deep in the barrier where black mist was swirling, and said in a cold voice:

"Let's go. The clan won't tolerate clowns."

As soon as Xing Luoban's figure disappeared in the barrier, four dark shadows emerged from behind the broken walls in a panic. The last one to come out was Huan Ye, who was wearing a dark purple veil.

The nine tails behind her swayed lazily, and the Chaos Pearls embedded in the tips of the tails glowed with a faint blue light, darkening the black robes of the soldiers beside her.

"I didn't expect them to cure Mo Zi so quickly..."

A soldier clutched the cracked Chaos Staff and spoke in a trembling voice.

"That guy's ice blade is even more ferocious now than before in the valley!"

"Why panic!"

Another soldier clenched his rusty iron claws,

"The barrier is filled with layers of traps, any one of them would be enough to put them in trouble!"

"Ah……"

Huan Ye suddenly chuckled, and the tip of his tail curled up the soldier's chin, his nails piercing the skin and oozing black blood:

"Idiot. Did Xingluo Squad get this far just by luck?"

She shook her hand away, and the soldier stumbled back.

"What the adults want is for them to get into the core alive—but they didn't say they have to get out alive."

"So...what do we do now?"

The soldiers all looked at her.

"..."

Huan Ye looked at the barrier that had closed again, a flash of crimson in his eyes:

"Follow me."

She tapped her toes lightly, and her nine tails turned into smoke that enveloped her whole body.

"Remember, before Da Zong's gift awakens, no one is allowed to act rashly. As for these little guys who don't know their own limitations..."

Her voice gradually dissipated in the chaotic mist.

"It's just a sacrifice delivered to the ceremony."

……

As the Xingluo Squad passed through the barrier, more than ten guards armed with sticks appeared from the corner and surrounded them in a crescent shape.

The gray-haired old cat in the lead had eyes as sharp as an eagle. He shook the token at his waist. The seal characters "打宗卫" on the copper token glowed coldly.

"Where did you get this cat? The Dazong barrier hasn't been opened for ten years. How did you get in?"

"oops!"

Bai Tang jumped up anxiously, and the bell of justice rang out with golden light:

"We are the Xingluo Squad! We are here to help Da Zong clear the chaos!"

"You fart!"

Before he finished speaking, the guards around him shouted in unison, and the sticks in their hands crossed to form an impenetrable barrier, with the sharp tips of the sticks pointing directly at everyone's throats.

"call……"

Wu Song took a deep breath, took a half step forward, and knelt on one knee. As he clasped his fists in salute, the jade pendant on his chest, which was a symbol of a sect disciple, sparkled in the dim light of chaos.

"Senior, please allow me to report! I am Wusong, a disciple of the Outer Hall of the sect. Upon receiving news of unusual movements within the sect, I and my fellow Xingluo Squad members rushed to provide assistance overnight."

He caught a glimpse of the old cat frowning and quickly added,

"This is Miss Mo Zi from the Body Sect. Her mind was once corrupted by Chaos, but fortunately we purified it with our rhyme power. Now, with a sense of justice in mind, she has insisted on following us to rescue the Fighting Sect."

"Empty words!"

The old cat snorted coldly, and slammed the tip of his staff into the ground, shaking up the shattered chaotic crystals on the ground.

"I know the list of Da Zong disciples by heart, but I've never heard of Wu Song!"

After saying that, he swung the rope violently, and the knot wrapped around Wu Song's wrist like a living snake.

Wu Song did not dodge or evade, allowing the rope to bind him, and the red rhythmic pattern spread rapidly along the knot:

"Senior, please look!" He activated his rhythmic power, and the Dazong emblem on the jade pendant suddenly lit up, causing the surrounding guards to squint their eyes.

"This is the 'Red Flame Pendant' for outer disciples. Only those who have passed the three trials can obtain it."

"..."

The old cat's expression finally relaxed, but when his eyes swept across the cold air flowing around Mo Zi, he instantly became alert:

"A disciple of the Shen Sect? The Shen Sect is far away in the East China Sea, why would she appear in the Da Sect?"

Mo Zi silently unfolded the ice fan, and the water-like ice condensed between the fan bones instantly spread to the ground, blooming into ice crystal lotus flowers:

"I was dragged here by the power of chaos. Now that I'm awake, I must repay the debt of gratitude."

"Uh~"

During the stalemate, Da Fei suddenly smiled and took out a bag of oil cakes. The aroma mixed with the chaotic smell was particularly abrupt:

"We really are here to help! Here are some snacks we made on the way. Would you like to try some?"

Seeing this, Xiaoqing quickly took out the flowing silk, rolled up a few slices of pancakes and presented them to the guards.

"..."

The old cat stared at the oil cake hesitantly for a moment, then suddenly swatted it away with its claws:

"Don't try to bribe us with this! Even if you can prove your identity, you still have to..."

"Roar……"

Before he could finish his words, a deafening roar of chaos suddenly came from the distance, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground, and fire snakes spewed out from the cracks.

"Oh no! The inner layer of the barrier is loose!"

A guard shouted. Old Cat's face suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll trust you for now! But if you dare to make any unusual moves—"

He gripped his stick tightly, and the guards behind him roared in unison.

"The punishment of beating the clan will make your life worse than death!"

After saying that, he stepped aside to make way, but his cloudy eyes were fixed on every move of the Xingluo Squad.
