Chapter 1854 - 1853: Breaking Free
As if noticing Su Yang's surprise, the masked figure frowned slightly. She suddenly waved her hand, and Su Yang and the others, including Little Turtle, were all enveloped in a sphere of light.
"I'll send you out now!" the masked figure said sternly. Without further ado, she waved her hand, and that ball of light swiftly fled away.
Su Yang only felt the surrounding scenery rapidly change, and the feeling was very strange, as if they, inside the light circle, hadn't moved at all, but rather the environment around them was moving.
Before Su Yang could understand, they appeared at the edge of the valley, where he could see with the naked eye the edge was a very steep cliff.
When they got there, the masked person went up first, with the light circle closely following behind.
At the cliff's edge, a faint layer of light shrouded the area; this was the same layer of light that had once trapped Qi Zhishan and the others outside.
The masked figure took a deep breath, reached out a hand, and forcibly tore a seam in that light shield. Then, with a wave of her hand, the ball of light carried Su Yang and the others up to the top of the cliff.
After doing all this, the masked figure said nothing, directly turning back into the valley. Meanwhile, the torn light above the valley quickly restored itself as if nothing had happened.
Su Yang and the others stood at the edge of the cliff, feeling somewhat surreal for a moment.
Were they really sent out of the valley just like that?
But what exactly was going on? Why did this masked person act this way? Wasn't the masked person quite disdainful towards them? Why suddenly intervene in their matters and even help Su Yang and the others like this?
And who exactly is the masked person?
Su Yang had clearly seen just now, when they were brought out by the masked figure, the light sphere didn't move, it was the environment around them that was shifting. In other words, the masked figure hadn't actually moved them; it was the Turquoise Pool that moved, quickly bringing them to the cliff's edge!
Being able to manage this indicated that the masked figure definitely had control over the Turquoise Pool. Coupled with previous events, Su Yang could fully ascertain that the masked person indeed had the power to control the Turquoise Pool.
But the problem is, this is The Queen Mother of the West's magical treasure. How was the masked figure able to control the Turquoise Pool? What exactly is her relationship with The Queen Mother of the West, allowing her to control the Turquoise Pool?
Or could it be that the masked person's power was simply too great, directly erasing the imprint of The Queen Mother of the West from this part of the Turquoise Pool in the Human World, and claiming this portion as her own?
If that's truly the case, then this person's strength is indeed unfathomable!
However, the most important issue for Su Yang now is, where is Qi'er?
The masked figure sent them up, but what about Qi'er? Qi'er is still in the Feather Spirit Palace, why didn't the masked figure send her out?
Qi'er entered the city, and by the time she reached the entrance of the Feather Spirit Palace, she was already out of their sight. Therefore, Su Yang did not know the masked figure intercepted Qi'er inside, much less the deal Qi'er made with the masked figure.
The others stood at the cliff's edge, feeling the aura of the Human World, as if they had lived two lifetimes. Only Su Yang still stood at the cliff's edge, anxiously looking down below. If the masked figure didn't send Qi'er up, he would have to find a way to go in and rescue Qi'er!
After waiting for about an hour, there was some disturbance inside the valley, and an external light circle once again revealed a crack. Following this, the masked person appeared, throwing out a ball of light.
Inside this ball of light were about a hundred people, and Su Yang could see clearly that these were the people he had saved before.
These individuals were originally captured by the descendants of the Feather Clan, but were also rescued by the masked person and sent out.
"Senior, please hold on!" Su Yang hurriedly rushed to the cliff's edge, urgently saying, "Senior, what about… my sister?"
The masked person paused and then turned her head to glance at Su Yang, saying coldly, "You mean Qi'er?"
"That's right!" Su Yang quickly responded, "She entered the Feather Spirit Palace, I kindly ask the senior to rescue her as well. I will forever remember your great generosity!"
"There's no need to speak of such gratitude, she's not coming out!" the masked person decisively replied, "The price of rescuing you all is that she has to stay inside to work for me!"
"What?" Su Yang's expression changed suddenly, finally understanding why the masked person would intervene to rescue them.
"Senior…" Su Yang ran forward some more, but when reaching the edge, he was bounced back by the light circle.
"Senior, Qi'er is my sister, I beg you to show mercy…" Su Yang pleaded urgently.
"Enough nonsense!" the masked figure frowned, "I agreed to her request, that's why I sent you all out, you have no right to make demands of me. That's it, if you wish to struggle here, I won't stop you. If you have the ability to enter this valley, do as you please. If you lack the ability, don't make a fool of yourself here!"
After finishing, the masked woman turned around and vanished back into the valley. The light circle once again restored itself, enveloping the valley completely.
Su Yang stood at the edge of the valley, staring blankly at the valley below. He had never imagined that Qi'er saved them. Moreover, Qi'er stayed behind in the valley, paying such a price to rescue them—how could Su Yang accept this!
After a moment of silence, Su Yang suddenly rushed forward, attempting to enter the valley; he couldn't let Qi'er be trapped inside alone.
But no matter how he charged, the light circle above the valley continuously rebuffed him.
During this time, Su Yang felt the power within him gradually recovering. He even began using his power to assault the light circle, but no matter how strong the force he used, the counteracting force of the light circle was equally strong. In the end, Su Yang couldn't budge the light circle in the slightest, instead, the rebound from the circle's force inflicted significant injuries on him, causing him to vomit blood continuously.
Nearby, the Three Eagles of Yanbei and others had also regained their power at this moment. Seeing Su Yang recklessly assaulting the light, the Eagle hurried over to stop Su Yang.
"Su Alliance Leader, don't be impulsive!" the Eagle hurriedly urged, "This light circle's power is incredibly strong; when we were inside the valley, it was this light circle that completely sealed our powers. With our current strength, there's no way to break through the circle. Su Alliance Leader, even if you risk your life, you can't break through this light circle!"
The others all nodded in agreement. After exiting the valley, their powers gradually returned. These individuals were Land Immortals, indeed very strong, and their extensive knowledge quickly made them realize that Su Yang's efforts were in vain.
