I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

The Wu family courtyard seemed to have a distorted space.

After Zhang Hong appeared, everyone seemed to have fallen into an inescapable hell.

But, after that figure dressed in silk robes descended.

Like ice and snow melting, the whole courtyard felt as if it were bathed in a spring breeze.

It was as if an invisible protective shield was protecting everyone inside.

The giant blue hand that had enveloped Cheng Laiyun suddenly vanished into thin air.

"Bang!"

The pressure dissipated instantly, allowing Cheng Laiyun inside the giant statue to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, and he involuntarily sat down on the ground.

"Whoosh~"

The dark golden jade statue also transformed into specks of starlight and entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

His pale, handsome face was revealed.

He looked up and glanced at it.

What came into view was Xu Miaozhen's exquisitely beautiful and serene face.

"Master...?"

His weak voice sounded somewhat abrupt in the courtyard.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Daoist's luck is fucking amazing!!

Xu Jiayin's face also lit up with surprise: "Master!!"

As she spoke, she stood up from the ground and walked over to Xu Miaozhen to stand side by side with her.

Xu Miaozhen nodded slightly.

She lowered her head slightly, and strands of hair fell down, tracing a slightly fragrant arc in the air.

What she saw was the scene of Cheng Laiyun's colossal statue transforming into starlight and entering her sea of ​​consciousness.

Her phoenix eyes narrowed sharply as she stared at Cheng Laiyun for a long time.

Cheng Laiyun could naturally feel that piercing gaze.

My heart was pounding.

It was obvious that he knew Xu Miaozhen seemed to have figured something out.

At this moment, I am waiting for my own reaction.

If you try to cover something up or show signs of guilt... who knows what you'll face?

He dragged his weary, even broken body, and bowed weakly to Xu Miaozhen:

"Greetings, Master."

Xu Miaozhen smiled and nodded gently: "No need for formalities."

"Oh dear, Master!!"

"Thank goodness it was you!!"

Xu Jiayin was so excited that she was almost incoherent.

At this moment, tears of grievance streamed down her face as she pointed at Zhang Hong's extremely gloomy face in the air:

"It's him! He bullied me and Junior Brother Cheng!!"

"What else is there to say? The insignificant Mo Clan is nothing but a piece of trash in front of the Zhang family of Quzhou..."

Ok?

Cheng Laiyun looked up in astonishment.

When did Zhang Hong say this?

And even though his son Zhang Lai is so arrogant, he's never said anything like that...

Cow!

Xu Jiayin's words.

This also interrupted Xu Miaozhen's deep thoughts.

She gave a peaceful smile.

It's as if even if the sky were to fall, it would only be a calm and breezy affair.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on Xu Jiayin's shoulder, his voice carrying a rhythm that inexplicably brought a sense of peace.

"I'm not afraid."

"Your teacher is here."

The three of them, master and disciples, at this very moment.

No one paid any attention to Zhang Hong in the sky.

"snort!!"

Between heaven and earth, this cold snort resounded like a thunderclap!

The wind blows.

The wind made Zhang Hong's clothes flutter in the air.

Her gray hair danced wildly in the wind.

His thin face was now shrouded in a bluish light, making it impossible to discern his features.

"The hatred of killing one's son will never be tolerated."

The sound, like the grandest of bells, resonated throughout heaven and earth.

"The sage said."

"The words of a virtuous person are as powerful as thunder!"

boom!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, the night sky suddenly lit up!

A bolt of azure lightning tore through the sky, carrying an inviolable majesty, and struck straight at Cheng Laiyun's head!

Before the thunder even arrived, the ground had already begun to crack!

Cheng Laiyun's pupils contracted sharply, and every hair on his body stood on end instantly.

But he knew he couldn't dodge this attack!

"Click."

A crisp click of the mechanism engaging rang out.

The sound was very soft, yet it was clearly audible amidst the thunder's roar.

Xu Miaozhen, standing behind, simply raised her hand, and something flew out from her sleeve.

The thing was initially only the size of a palm, and its entire body was moon white.

Like a delicate jade lotus seedpod.

"Click-clack click-clack"

A series of rapid mechanical sounds exploded!

The lotus-shaped object swelled in the wind, and countless thin, cicada-wing-like silver metal sheets shot out from within, rapidly rotating and joining together along precise tracks until they finally snapped together!

The sound of the gears turning was like the simultaneous flapping of the wings of hundreds of mechanical bees, crisp and rapid!

In the blink of an eye, a white jade umbrella, about ten feet in diameter, suddenly opened above Xu Miaozhen's head!

The umbrella is made up of 3,600 silver-scale-like metal pieces layered together, each one gleaming with a cold, sharp light under the moonlight.

The entire umbrella hung above Xu Miaozhen, like a blooming silver lotus flower.

"Moon Scale Umbrella!" Xu Jiayin blurted out instinctively.

Her voice trembled with excitement:

"A magical artifact that only a fourth-rank mechanical engineer of the Mo Clan can create!"

"Each scale between the umbrellas is an independent mechanism."

"It can sense the strength, direction, and attribute of attacks! The umbrella ribs will automatically adjust their angle based on this sensing, diverting the attack into spirit crystals for storage..."

Before she could finish speaking, the blue lightning bolt struck the umbrella with a deafening roar!

"Buzz".

The three thousand six hundred silver scales on the umbrella surface lit up at the same time, actually diverting the lightning bolt that was powerful enough to split mountains and sever rivers!

The spirit crystal under the umbrella flashed suddenly, then returned to calm.

The thunder disappeared.

Like a drop of water falling into the ocean, it barely creates any ripples.

Cheng Laiyun clenched his fists, staring blankly at the dreamlike scene in the sky.

Having traversed this world for so long, I know that the extraordinary beings in this world are incredibly powerful.

But today, he truly felt the allure of the extraordinary system!

Zhang Hong stood in mid-air, his brows slightly furrowed.

He stared at the mechanical umbrella hanging above Xu Miaozhen's head, his eyes gleaming.

He waved his hands repeatedly, and a surge of righteous energy welled up like a tide:

The sage said: "The movement of Heaven is ever vigorous; the nature of Earth is receptive."

boom!!!

The earth trembled violently! Centered on the Wu family courtyard, the ground within a radius of a hundred feet began to shake violently!

Cracks spread out from deep underground.

Wherever those cracks passed, everything collapsed—the courtyard walls, peach trees, blue bricks, and rubble were all swallowed up into the bottomless darkness!

Head straight for Cheng Laiyun's feet!

Xu Miaozhen still did not look up.

She simply turned the umbrella handle in her hand gently.

"Click."

A soft sound.

Twelve silver threads emerged from the umbrella ribs, burrowing into the ground like living things, precisely piercing every node of those cracks!

The spread of those cracks came to an abrupt halt.

Zhang Hong's expression finally changed.

Two moves!

Two moves at once!

He didn't even touch the hem of Xu Miaozhen's clothes.

and.

She didn't even move an inch.

From beginning to end, Xu Miaozhen stood there, one hand gently resting on Xu Jiayin's shoulder, the other hand casually holding the umbrella handle.

Zhang Hong took a deep breath, slowly lowered himself, and landed on the courtyard wall.

His voice was deep:

"Do you really intend to become an enemy of the Zhang family?"

He knew that with this woman here today, he couldn't touch that little beast in front of him.

Xu Miaozhen then raised her head and met his gaze.

On that face, as beautiful as a peach blossom, remained that same serene smile:

"You don't represent the Zhang family."

"I cannot represent the Mo Sect either."

"I just feel that we elders shouldn't get involved in the struggles between the younger generation."
