Chapter 2088 -2086: Intertwined Time and Space, Transformed Lives (34)

Gu Qiaoqiao naturally wouldn’t open the door for him.

Besides, Gu Qiaoqiao wanted to know what method Dongfang Yu used to break in. She really wanted to learn it because her talismans didn’t have such a spell.

After knocking on the door for a while, Dongfang Yu’s expression remained calm, as if he had already expected the person inside wouldn’t open the door for him. But since he had locked onto this area and this house, he certainly wouldn’t give up.

He considered himself the most formidable in the world; how could he be suppressed by an unexpected aura to the point of struggling to breathe?

This aura fluctuated—sometimes strong, sometimes weak—making it quite perplexing for him. Today he finally discovered the aura emanated from this house. Of course, he wouldn’t depart empty-handed.

Dongfang Yu naturally wouldn’t draw a sky talisman like Gu Qiaoqiao, but he had plenty of talismans in his storage bag.

Accumulated over centuries, he picked up a talisman, placed it on his fingertip, and muttered. The talisman spontaneously combusted, transforming into a ball of light that settled onto him.

Gu Qiaoqiao, observing him all along, naturally saw this talisman.

It was an invisible spell.

It could render a person’s form invisible, allowing them to pass through doors and walls.

At that moment, Dongfang Yu didn’t completely conceal himself, but his form became faint. Suddenly, he broke in through the door.

Such a security door was utterly useless against someone like Dongfang Yu, effective only against the righteous but not the unscrupulous.

However, Gu Qiaoqiao knew that it was because she deliberately let Dongfang Yu in; if she wished otherwise, Dongfang Yu wouldn’t even find this place at all.

The intruding Dongfang Yu didn’t consider his behavior shameless at all; instead, he leisurely stood inside, examining his surroundings.

His brows furrowed slightly upon realizing the house was empty. If there was no one inside, how could such an aura exist?

Quite strange. So he stood there, his form leisurely moving from room to room, passing by the virtual space. His footsteps didn’t pause, indicating his inability to detect her presence, causing Gu Qiaoqiao’s lips to curl into a mocking smile.

With a casual grasp, she harnessed the malevolent energy she’d never used before; it was now time to deploy it.

Currently, the region of Nanli City had settled down somewhat. A few enemy factions wouldn’t catch up for a while, and Fong Lei was about to overtake Liang Yan. Though Liang Yan was forcing herself to tough it out, she was visibly better than moments before. As long as they crossed the border to the hospital in time, there would be no problems, and Gu Qiaoqiao would not allow them to arise.

If problems arose, her efforts today would be in vain, thereby easing the situation compared to before. Naturally, Gu Qiaoqiao grabbed a handful of malevolent energy with a cold smile, tossing it towards Dongfang Yu’s head.

Dongfang Yu might have been vigilant at the door, but he was accustomed to arrogance, having roamed the world for countless years as a unique entity. Many bowed under his feet or relied on him for survival; others offered fortunes for one of his talismans. Thus, he developed a disregard for all else.

Even though he recognized the aura was unusual, he barely gave it any attention.

Naturally, he was wholly unprepared for the sudden malevolent energy, allowing a wisp to penetrate his brow, stealthily piercing through the barrier composed of Dongfang Yu’s spiritual energy.

In that instant, Dongfang Yu, who felt warmth moments ago, suddenly sensed a chill surge from within, making his limbs stiffen as his breath seemed frozen and labored.

Just now appearing relaxed, Dongfang Yu’s expression now turned serious.

Without hesitation, his fingers danced, igniting talismans at his fingertips, as if flames encircled him. Three of them embedded in his brow, aiming to eliminate the malevolent energy within. Right then, Fong Lei and his group were stopped by a colorful Great Python.

There was only a small gap in the bushes where they wanted to pass, forcing them to go under the Great Python coiling around the tree, a precarious maneuver indeed.

But the right side was a cliff and the left an impassable dense forest. The southern Hundred Thousand Mountains differed greatly from the North; while northern mountains had wider open spaces, southern ones, due to climate, were filled with curious plants, even tightly packed shrubs.

Responding, Fong Lei gestured for his squad to halt, preparing their defenses. While many Great Pythons were non-venomous, Fong Lei knew this colorful snake was toxic, capable of spitting venom deadlier than sulfuric acid, instantly corroding whatever it touched, leading to immediate death.

In this dense forest, such Great Pythons were rare, yet right before them was one. The Great Python wrapped around an old tree, its head hanging down as if it had already spotted its prey.

Its malicious eyes fixed on Fong Lei, seemingly ready to capture them at any movement and spray venom, turning them into its feast.

Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t anticipated the sudden turn of events, thus needing to monitor all three parties now…

Meanwhile, intruder Dongfang Yu remained inside, trying to expel the cold energy within. He detested and feared it as his very nemesis.

Periodically it tortured him, likening life to dwelling beneath eternal glaciers.

So this was truly adding insult to injury.

Even though it’s early September and outside temperatures are high, the chill was undeterred. At this instant, Dongfang Yu’s complexion finally changed. He wasn’t a fool; while not a top-tier presence in the Mystic Sect, he was decent enough to know someone must be plotting against him.

Yet with his abilities, he couldn’t detect anyone within the house. So where was this person? Could they be outside?
