Chapter 234 - 105: Why Is Her Magical Power Out of Her Control? Preparations for Usurpation

A glint of alarm flashed in Xie Jianjia’s cool eyes as a multitude of thoughts raced through her mind.

Of course, she had no desire to fall into the hands of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

That hedonistic scion, Jiang Lan, clearly saw her as a cultivation tool and wanted the Immortal Phoenix True Blood in her body. If she fell into his hands, she would absolutely meet a terrible end.

An eerie purple light flashed deep within Xie Jianjia’s eyes.

She had no intention of simply waiting for death. She planned to break out of the prison cart and flee. However, the next moment, when she tried to mobilize the Magical Power in her body, she froze, her fair, pale face filled with disbelief.

’How is this possible...’

’Why can’t I control my Magical Power? Why can’t I use it?’

Xie Jianjia simply couldn’t believe it. Her delicate body trembled slightly at this unbelievable development.

In her tranquil and waveless Spirit Sea, the phantom of the Divine Turtle lay prostrate, as motionless as an eternal, unmoving boulder.

No matter how she urged it, the Magical Power it had swallowed showed no sign of letting her command it. The phantom of the Divine Turtle completely ignored her, refusing to spit out her Magical Power and return it.

’But I can clearly feel my Magical Power...’

’How is this possible...’

Xie Jianjia’s face instantly turned pale, an indescribable panic and disbelief welling up in her heart.

’What exactly went wrong? Where was the oversight?’

’I was so careful. I considered every possibility and left no stone unturned. So why is this still happening?’

’The Elixir Pill...’

’It must be the Rejuvenating Turtle Breath Pill...’

Uncontrollable anger welled up inside Xie Jianjia.

’I thought my plans were flawless, but I was outmaneuvered after all.’

She was certain it was because she had consumed that Rejuvenating Turtle Breath Pill. Her cultivation had been sealed by someone.

And the thing that sealed her cultivation was that very same Rejuvenating Turtle Breath Pill. Someone had tampered with it in a way that even she, and even the current National Master of Great Xia, Ge Qixing, could not detect...

Xie Jianjia’s hands turned ice-cold as she sat frozen inside the prison cart.

Without her cultivation, her current strength was completely insufficient to break free from the prison cart and escape. Her only advantage now was her powerful Divine Soul, ’but what good is that now?’

"Don’t be afraid, Jian Jia. I’m here to protect you."

Just as Xie Jianjia’s heart went cold with panic, a familiar voice rang out high in the sky nearby.

A young man in martial attire appeared, intercepting the numerous attackers.

His black hair billowed, and though a black gauze scarf covered his face, his gaze was incredibly resolute.

Around him, starlight seemed to rise like steam, and a divine radiance soared to the heavens. He stood like a Star God Lord, his entire body seemingly flowing with light, appearing exceptionally brilliant in the night.

The shockwaves from his fists swept out, tearing through the air with violent gales. Like a god, he was immensely powerful, single-handedly holding off the many experts who charged at him.

At the same time, many other figures appeared by his side to intercept the attackers.

In an instant, a chaotic battle erupted.

’Xiao Teng... Right, Xiao Teng is here...’

’I don’t need to be so panicked.’

Seeing this, Xie Jianjia composed herself slightly, but her expression remained as somber as still water.

She was attempting to use various Secret Techniques to begin the Refinement of the Divine Turtle phantom in her Spirit Sea Dantian.

Unfortunately, all of her cultivation had been swallowed by it, so she was unable to execute many of her techniques.

She could only use a Divine Soul Secret Technique to see if she could shatter it and force it to return her cultivation.

However, perhaps it was just her imagination, but she felt that while the Divine Turtle phantom had just been lying prostrate before, as she attacked it with various Divine Soul Secret Techniques, it actually showed signs of stirring to life.

It opened its great mouth and continuously swallowed her many Divine Soul Secret Techniques. It seemed as if its stomach contained a vast and boundless world that could devour all things.

’What in the world is this bizarre thing? Even with all my knowledge, I can’t identify it...’

Xie Jianjia’s heart sank deeper and deeper.

’I actually thought I’d gotten the better of Jiang Lan, but now it’s clear I was the arrogant fool. I’m the one who swallowed the Elixir Pill myself...’

Although Xie Jianjia was filled with regret, she also understood that for now, she could only place her hope in Xiao Teng.

If she fell into Jiang Lan’s hands, with even her cultivation under his control, she dared not imagine her fate. Her own secrets might even be exposed.

"You can do it, Xiao Teng!"

Xie Jianjia spoke, looking at Xiao Teng as he fought several people at once. She clenched her delicate fists, continuously cheering him on.

"Jian Jia, don’t worry. I will protect you..."

Hearing this, Xiao Teng flinched for a moment. He responded, suddenly energized as if he’d been shot full of adrenaline, his spirits soaring even higher.

He unleashed the Holy Light Skill, and the starlight from the heavens seemed to pierce through the thick haze and pour into his body.

In that moment, he was Immune to All Laws, unmovable as a great mountain. And yet, like the bright sun, he shone with a dazzling splendor, radiating a light so brilliant that no one could look at him directly.

The chaotic battle grew ever more intense, and the scene became a chaotic blur.

BOOM!!!

Amidst the heaven-shaking explosion, dust and smoke billowed everywhere. A mountain peak immediately collapsed with a roar, and rubble rained down from the sky.

Besides the people led by Xiao Teng, other people had also secretly joined the fray.

At first, Xiao Teng was a little anxious, but after seeing clearly that these people were there to assist him, he was relieved.

Although their robes and attire were not uniform, Xiao Teng could faintly see a flower embroidered with gold and black thread on their sleeves.
