Chapter 398: The Northern Dipper Arrows
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
"Little kid, you are one of the Gods Sect’s people?" The middle-aged warrior, whose face was dry and yellow, looked at Shi Yan, shouted out loud while seeming to be excited.
Shi Yan was startled for a while. As he was deep in the thought about how to defend against these disasters, he didn’t understand what that man meant. So he casually asked, 'What?'.
"Are you one of the Divine Radiant Cult’s people, little rascal?"
That big man grunted. His attitude was much better than before. Before, when he had looked at Shi Yan, he had resented that he couldn’t kill him. However, right now, although he still cursed him ‘little rascal’, he didn’t seem to have any wicked intentions.
Shi Yan suddenly understood.
"I come from the Endless Sea, and I have the Star Martial Spirit. The Three Gods Sect in the Endless Sea is one branch of the Gods Sect. I…"
"So that’s right." Without waiting for Shi Yan to finish his sentence, the man hurriedly screamed, "Come here. We need your Star Power. As long as you condense the Northern Dipper Arrows and then integrate with my Great Sun Power and Moon Power of Li Yue, we will be able to break the Mountain and River Seal's barrier."
Beside him, a female warrior at the Third Sky of Sky Realm also nodded her head.
This warrior named Li Yue, of the Divine Radiant Cult, looked ordinary. Her body was extremely skinny; her face was a little pale as if she hadn’t been exposed to the sun for a very long time.
At the moment when she saw Shi Yan cast out the Star Shield, she was also a little startled. After realizing it was the Star Shield, she considered Shi Yan as her own family and also showed a better attitude on her face.
Before seeing Shi Yan display the Star Shield, she had looked at Shi Yan with extreme, cold eyes.
"A person of the Divine Radiant Cult," Cai Yi muttered with a low voice.
Shi Yan was stunned. He thought for a while before he gently nodded. Walking over to Zuo Shi, he held her hand and took her to the center of the lake.
Zuo Shi's eyes looked panicked; her face was puzzled while Shi Yan was pulling her to the center of the lake.
After a quick glance, Chi Xiao and Zuo Xu looked very cheerful as they seemed to see through Shi Yan’s mind.
Zuo Shi was only in the Disaster Realm; she had the lowest cultivation base here. If she stayed at the edge of the lake, she might not be able to withstand those disasters. Although the magnetic field around the silver lake slowed down the disasters a lot, according to what was going on right now, the disasters would soon come over.
Shi Yan took Zuo Shi to the center of the lake so that she could be the last to face those disasters. Perhaps by that time, the barrier that Ai Ya had created might have been broken already. Thus, she could have a chance to climb to the sky, avoiding those disasters.
"Who is this girl?" The warrior with a yellow face frowned and asked when he saw Shi Yan bringing Zuo Shi over.
"My wife," Shi Yan revealed a faint smile, kept his normal face, and secretly held Zuo Shi’s hand tightly.
Zuo Shi originally had some resistance and secretly blamed Shi Yan. However, when she glanced at Chi Xiao and Zuo Xu and saw them let out a sigh of relief, she understood what was going on.
Shi Yan wanted to protect her.
Zuo Shi was moved a little bit and stopped struggling. Instead, she became well-behaved and obediently followed Shi Yan.
After hearing Shi Yan say that Zuo Shi was his wife, those warriors from the Divine Radiant Cult didn’t say anything else. Five of them even took the initiative to move to the side, leaving Shi Yan and Zuo Shi a small space.
"Do you know how to perform the Northern Dipper Arrows?" Li Yue asked.
"No, I don’t," Shi Yan shook his head.
"How about using the Star Power to create Star Formation? Do you know them?" Li Yue asked again.
"Star Formation?" Shi Yan’s eyes brightened up. He nodded, "I know how to perform it."
"Very good. Release it quick. Zhao Feng and I will take care of the rest."
"Hurry up," The warrior with a yellow face named Zhao Feng also hastily urged Shi Yan.
In the center of the lake, the two strongest teams seemed to know the secret technique of the Divine Radiant Cult. After hearing the Northern Dipper Arrows and the Star Formation, their eyes all brightened up, and no one scolded Shi Yan anymore. They looked at Shi Yan with shining eyes.
Under other people’s scrutinizing looks, Shi Yan triggered his mind to activate the Star Martial Spirit, gathering a bunch of starlight dots. Seven groups of lights were formed above his head and then displayed themselves according to the formation of the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper.
"Is this right?" Shi Yan asked with uncertainty.
"That’s it." Zhao Feng displayed a cheerful face and burst into laughter. A surge of scorching flame energy flowed out from his body in the radiant lights.
A beam of scorching sunlight flew out and drilled into the Seven Star Formation.
At the same time, moonlight also spread out from Li Yue’s body. This beam of light, which was like the shining moonlight, also flew out from her hands, infiltrating the Seven Stars’ formation.
"Don’t worry. We will take care of the rest." Li Yue told him in a carefree fashion.
Shi Yan nodded.
A group of sunlight, moonlight, and seven groups of stars gathered in the Seven Stars’ formation.
Suddenly, a strong energy fluctuation stirred up, spreading out from the sunlight and the stars. This fluctuation and the seven groups of stars that Shi Yan had released abruptly resonated.
Under everyone’s attentive looks, odd changes suddenly appeared on the seven groups of stars that Shi Yan had released, turning them into a set of a bow and arrows.
The sunlight from Zhao Feng and the moonlight of Li Yue merged to form a powerful arrow. That light arrow rode on the bow which had been created from the condensation of the starlight.
The bow was elongated. A violent energy fluctuation suddenly flowed out from the bow.
The Starlight instantly integrated with the light arrow. This light arrow, which brought along the starlight, terrifyingly shot out towards the ancient corpses at the bottom.
"Boom."
When the light arrow hit a corpse at the bottom, the purple lights which were wrapped around the ancient corpse broke instantly.
The Mountain and River Seal suspended above everyone’s head, and its power seemed to have been struck and scattered. The Mountain and River Seal darkened and couldn’t maintain its purple river to keep overflowing.
All kinds of secret treasures flew out and collided with that Mountain and River Seal. The Mountain and River Seal slightly shook in the air as its spiritual aura got empty, and it finally fell.
"We're good." Zhao Feng laughed out loud and shouted, "We broke the barrier, so we must go first."
Li Yue’s face became cold. She looked at the warriors next to her and said, "You should understand the rule."
"Go up!" Zhao Feng stared at a Divine Radiant Cult’s warrior next to him as he shouted to urge him.
Under Zhao Feng’s gaze, this warrior suddenly woke up and hurriedly rushed towards the stone ladder.
Shi Yan was startled and then quickly gave Zuo Shi a push. She staggeringly walked towards the corpse bridge and strenuously climbed while being shoved by the Divine Radiant Cult’s disciples.
When Zhao Feng and Li Yue saw what Shi Yan did, they just slightly knitted their eyebrows but didn’t say anything.
In their hearts, since Shi Yan belonged to the Divine Radiant Cult, he was like family. As his wife had a low cultivation base, and moreover, staying in the lake was the most dangerous thing right now, they didn’t oppose to what he did.
"Shi Yan, they…"
When Zuo Shi climbed half-way onto the corpse bridge, she suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but shout while looking at Zuo Xu and Chi Xiao in the distance.
The disaster currently submerged Chi Xiao and the other people; their entire bodies were now shining with dazzling lights as they were desperately struggling with miserable faces.
Zuo Shi couldn’t just abandon her master and her grandfather.
"Don’t worry too much. You go up first then we will talk later," Shi Yan shouted.
The Divine Radiant Cult behind Zuo Shi also frowned and urged her. She then reluctantly continued to climb toward the top.
Not long after that, all of the Divine Radiant Cult warriors had climbed up. Zhao Feng and Li Yue simultaneously looked at Shi Yan and shouted together, "Hurry up. Little kid, don’t waste others’ time."
"I…"
"What? Others are waiting for you." Zhao Feng stared at him, "If it were somebody else, he would go right away. You have the chance now, why are you hesitating?"
The warriors of the other two teams had come close to the center of the lake.
From a distance, Chi Xiao and the others were now submerged in the disasters. Cold sweat beaded on their foreheads as they seemed to resist strenuously. If he went up now, perhaps Chi Xiao and Zuo Xu would stay here forever.
"I can wait for a while longer." Shi Yan sneered and moved backward. He looked at Zhao Feng and Li Yue and said, "You guys go first. I will catch up later."
Zhao Feng and Li Yue were astonished and immediately scolded Shi Yan for not being wise. While muttering, the two of them stepped forward and then climbed on the stone ladder.
"You two!" Shi Yan shouted.
"What else do you want? How troublesome," Zhao Feng angrily asked.
"Please take care of my wife. We all come from the Gods Sect. I will remember this favor." Shi Yan begged.
Zuo Shi had gone up, but he didn’t know what was waiting for them up there. He couldn’t be together with Zuo Shi and was afraid that she would encounter some danger up there, so he could only beg Zhao Feng and Li Yue to help him take care of her.
Zhao Feng coldly snorted and displayed an unhappy face, "Stinky little rascal, you are nonsense. If you don’t come up here soon, you deserve to die because of your stupidity. There aren't many secret treasures, and if you are late, nothing will be left for you."
While talking, Zhao Feng suddenly accelerated and gradually disappeared into the clouds.
In the center of the lake, the other two powerful teams took advantage of this time and also went up to the corpse bridge, moving up along the bridge.
Shi Yan suddenly turned his head and released the Star Shield. His entire body reddened. He then drilled into the center of the disasters.
Lightning, flames, storms, and frost all swept over, covering the entire lake. These four strange forces which came from the Four Mountains seemed to have a terrifying destructive power that could break a variety of defense halos. The Star Shield produced crisp sounds under the effect of these four kinds of disasters as if it could explode at any time.
Under these four kinds of disasters, it was like Shi Yan was stuck in a deep pond of mud, walking staggeringly.
At this time, he knew what Chi Xiao and the others were facing.
"Hey!"
A crazy roar came up as different strange powers burst out from his body. Shi Yan was now like a mighty tiger rushing toward Zuo Xu and pulling him by one of his hands.
