Adorably Cute Beasts: The Ultimate Beloved Pet Who Captivates the World

Chapter 165 A Plea for Divine Intervention

"What's it to you?"

Bai Yan coldly raised his hand slightly, and the air condensed into water droplets, turning into thousands of ice crystals that shot towards Ping Yao. Such a powerful aura and killing intent made Ping Yao feel fear. Her intuition told her that if she tried to block it, she would not only fail to block it but might also be seriously injured. She had no choice but to retreat quickly to avoid it.

"Ayan, what's going on? I feel really bad..." Tao Tao weakly approached Bai Yan and asked softly. The Demon-Controlling Pestle was always disturbing her consciousness inside her body. She was already seriously injured and had no power to control the Demon-Controlling Pestle.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan turned around, reached out and touched her brow. A cool spiritual energy flowed into Tao Tao's body, temporarily suppressing the restless Demon-Slaying Pestle.

Bai Yan explained, "The Demon-Suppressing Pestle is a sacred object of the Demon Realm. I don't know why it appeared here. With your current cultivation level, you cannot control it. I can only suppress it for now and take it out for you after this turmoil is over."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Tao Tao felt relieved after hearing Bai Yan's words. She nodded and was about to leave when the pendant hanging on her chest suddenly became scalding hot and emitted a faint light.

"This is..." She was surprised, but Pingyao was holding an ancient bronze mirror and chanting incantations. She threw the bronze mirror, and the mirror surface emitted several dazzling beams of light, forming a magnificent seven-colored auspicious cloud in the air. This auspicious cloud was very strange. It changed unpredictably, and the mountains were reversed, time was reversed, and space seemed to stand still. Everyone and everything was frozen in time.

"In that case, let them all die."

Pingyao chuckled, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her figure transformed into a blur, instantly appearing in front of Taotao. She grabbed Taotao's face, released demonic energy, and tried to forcibly remove the Demon-Slaying Pestle.

Unexpectedly, a sharp sword formed from ice pierced through her from behind. Shocked, she turned her head and found Bai Yan standing calmly beside her.

He wasn't affected by the Thousand Faces Mirror? Impossible! Even powerful demonic beasts like Jiu Ze were frozen in place, so why was he unharmed?

Could his cultivation level be above Jiuze's? No, it's clear he's not at Jiuze's level, unless he possesses some powerful magic weapon. But could someone with his cultivation level have such a powerful magic weapon?

Pingyao was completely baffled. She was using a supreme magic weapon that combined time and space, which could briefly manipulate time and space. Although the time was short, it was enough to eliminate one person.

"Who exactly are you?" Ping Yao felt inexplicably afraid; this person was even more troublesome than the old men of the Annihilation Cold Sect.

You have no right to know.

Bai Yanqing spoke softly, and suddenly the long sword in his hand shattered into tiny ice shards, all of which instantly pierced Ping Yao's body. Dozens of bloody holes appeared all over Ping Yao's body, and she was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely. There was also an ice shard that was stuck in her heart. If it went in any further, she would die immediately.

Under the sudden attack, Pingyao endured the pain and dared not move at all. Only now did she realize the gap between the two of them. Even with the Thousand Faces Mirror in hand, she could not move the other party in the slightest.

"What I need is in here." Bai Yan reached out to take the Thousand Faces Mirror, but at that moment the power of the Thousand Faces Mirror disappeared, and Jiu Ze suddenly launched an attack. Countless huge black arrows fell from the sky, indiscriminately attacking the entire Annihilation Cold Sect.

Bai Yan's eyes darkened, and he reached out to grab Tao Tao's waist, leaping into the air to create a barrier that protected the two of them while dodging arrows at lightning speed.

Having narrowly escaped death, Pingyao gritted her teeth and called out to the Thousand-Faced Mirror that was suspended in the air. In just an instant, the Thousand-Faced Mirror landed in her hand. "What a madman. It seems he plans to drag everyone down to hell. Now that the mission is almost complete, there is no need to waste time here."

As for the Demon-Slaying Pestle, she is currently unable to retrieve it and can only seek another opportunity in the future.

After much deliberation, she forced herself to flee in pain to avoid being hit by arrows.

The others were no better off. This sudden attack was clearly aimed at everyone. Those with lower cultivation levels couldn't even keep up with the speed and could only watch helplessly as the arrows struck them.

Moreover, black flames filled the sky, merging with the black arrows, plunging the entire Annihilation Frost Sect into a great calamity.

At this moment, elders and seniors from all sects and factions no longer have time to care about their disciples. Their only concern is saving their own lives. Some even throw their disciples out to shield them from the incoming Heart-Devouring Flames.

Screams echoed all around, and corpses piled up like mountains, but in the blink of an eye they were swallowed up by black flames, leaving not even a trace of their souls behind.

Looking at the scene unfolding beneath his feet, Jiuze burst into laughter. He had gone mad, his enormous body still attacking in all directions. He wanted to drag everyone down with him to die, to be buried with his deceased wife.

You Yunzi was already struggling to deal with him. The other elders were blocked by the demonic cultivators and could not come over. He was not able to defeat Jiu Ze alone. Now Jiu Ze was burning his spiritual power to use the Heart-Devouring Flame and the Ghostly Floating Arrow. Looking at the entire Annihilation Frost Sect, there was probably no one who could defeat him.

"Senior sister, what should we do now? If this continues, we will all die here." Zhong Lingyue asked Gu Hanshuang anxiously.

Gu Hanshuang herself was in no better shape. While dodging her opponent's attacks, she said helplessly, "This is beyond our control. That demonic beast has probably entered the Nascent Soul Realm. Looking at our entire Annihilation Frost Sect, I'm afraid only the Grand Elder, Senior Sister Qin, and You Yunzi can barely contend with it. However, Senior Sister Qin is currently in seclusion and cannot come in time. As for the Grand Elder, he is probably being held back by someone, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed things to develop like this."

"Then are we just waiting to die?" Zhong Lingyue frowned, watching her disciples gradually turn to ashes. She was heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do. Even the pills she had refined were powerless to save them.

"No, perhaps there is another way."

Just then, Qian Wenyang's voice entered their minds. Upon hearing his voice, Zhong Lingyue immediately became excited, "Senior Brother Qian, do you have a solution?"

At this moment, Zhong Lingyue was already at her limit. The demonic cultivators were completely disregarding their own lives to hold them off. If she were to lose focus even slightly, flames and arrows would come flying at her. She could only use defensive magic treasures to protect herself, but this was only temporary. Once her spiritual power was exhausted, she would face certain death.

Of course, the others weren't in much better shape either. Whether it was Qian Wenyang, Gu Hanshuang, or You Yunzi, they were all almost exhausted, and it was indeed dangerous if things continued like this.

Qian Wenyang was still trapped in Pingyao's illusion, but now he had figured out her pattern. He could break out as soon as he found the right opportunity. As he drew his sword, he said, "Do you still remember the miracle left by the True Dragon Ancestor?"

These words greatly surprised Zhong Lingyue. "You mean you want to use a divine miracle to summon the True Dragon Ancestor to save us? But he might not even care about our lives..."

Qian Wenyang spoke up: "Why wouldn't he come? We are the only spiritual vein he left in the human realm. Besides, the Yanhan Sect has been worshipping him for tens of thousands of years. He wouldn't just stand by and watch us die."

“But…” Zhong Lingyue hesitated. That was the True Dragon Ancestor. How could they dare to disturb him? The once-every-five-hundred-years transmission of the Dao was already a luxury. Asking him to show himself again would be a pipe dream. But on the other hand, with the Annihilation Cold Sect suffering such a calamity, there was no reason for the Ancestor, whom the Annihilation Cold Sect had always worshipped, to stand by and watch them die.

"I think it's worth a try." Gu Hanshuang's tone was resolute. There was no other way at the moment. They couldn't just watch the Yanhan Sect decline, especially since their lives would also be lost.

"It's not enough for us to use the power of the divine miracle alone. We also need You Yunzi to try. No, that's not enough either. The surviving disciples must also try. If they are not devout enough, the Ancestor may not descend."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Wenyang immediately transmitted his voice to You Yunzi. After hearing their plan, You Yunzi was also very helpless, but he also knew very well that this was the best method and the last and only way to survive.

After receiving You Yunzi's approval, they sent a telepathic message to all their disciples, informing them of their purpose. When people from other sects were fleeing in all directions, they discovered that the disciples of the Yanhan Sect had actually stopped in place, sat down cross-legged with their hands clasped together, and were chanting incantations.

"Are they courting death, or have they already given up resisting?" The people from the Sword Forging Sect were shocked and puzzled. The Elder of Wuji Zhai sneered, "They are begging for divine intervention."

"A divine presence? The true dragon ancestor they worship? How is that possible? If the ancestor cared about their lives, he would have already descended."

"Don't gloat. We're in the same boat as the Annihilation Sect now. If they can really bring down their ancestor, we can survive. Otherwise, we'll all die together."

These words were so heavy that they left everyone speechless for a moment.

Just then, extremely sincere pleas came from all directions from the disciples of the Annihilation Cold Sect:

"We implore the Ancestor to deign to descend to earth and save the Yanhan Sect, and save our lives..."
