The sound of explosions echoed throughout the Weaponry Hall's room. Qing Yue'er got up while wiping the blood flowing from the corner of her lips.
"Damn the ugly statue! Why are you guys so hard to deal with?!"
He exclaimed with annoyance. His intention was only to choose a weapon, but never expected that he would awaken such a troublesome mechanism.
Moreover, after the battle had taken place, Qing Yue'er discovered that the wooden statue had strength that could not be detected.
Physical sculpture although only made of wood but its weight exceeds the weight of a steel iron. Just by his physical strength alone the statues had already made Qing Yue'er have a hard time.
He could not imagine what it would be like if the wooden statue could practice cultivation techniques. Perhaps something like that would be devastating if used as a special force.
As he thought about this, his eyes shone with a flash of light. If he could subdue the statue, perhaps he could use it for his purposes someday.
Suddenly he came up with a solution to subdue the wooden statue. They had silver hairpins on each of his heads. Maybe that's the key to solving this problem.
*woossh
His body shot to the side as one of the wooden swords slid towards his heart. With the spirit power he possessed, his hands began to form hand seals to seal them temporarily.
This was the first time he had used a hand seal inscribed in the Spirit Formation Technique book he had obtained from the bamboo forest. Its strength level may be higher than normal seals in general.
A red light shot out from his hand and enveloped the body of the wooden statue. With a swift movement Qing Yue'er ran pulling hairpins from their heads.
*wosshh wosshh
The moment he had just pulled out the hairpin, the spirit power sealing them was instantly dissolved by their resistance. It turned out that his spirit power was still very weak. In just a few seconds the statues could break the seal. Fortunately Qing Yue'er's movements counted quickly, or she had to be repotted again.
After that everything was as he thought. The wooden statue instantly fell to its knees stiffly before him. There was no more resistance, they just bowed.
"Isn't this easy? Why didn't I think of this before?" he said with a slight slight ruckus.
Qing Yue'er observed the silver hairpin she had in her hand. A dragon pattern was engraved there gracefully. From his aura he could feel the power stored within.
"Dragon?"
"Could this have something to do with the mysterious Azure Dragon alliance?"
Qing Yue'er was pondering when she suddenly heard many footsteps downstairs. The sound of footsteps sounded rushed. It seems like there are a lot of people coming to that place.
He immediately hid the hairpin and pretended to be gently stroking the wooden statue.
After that he found several figures emerging from the bottom floor. They all put on faces that looked serious like they were facing a big problem.
"Ehm, Qing Yu are you okay?"
Wang Tianji approached Qing Yue'er and examined her carefully. He sighed when he was sure that everything was okay.
"What's going on?" qing Yue'er asked in surprise. It seemed like he had not made any mistake, why were they looking at him in such a manner?
"You don't even know where you're doing?!" Elder Tang exclaimed at him with glaring eyes. If the gaze alone could split the human body, perhaps Qing Yue'er had already died countless times by her gaze.
Qing Yue'er did not know how to respond. What mistake? Could this have something to do with the statues?
"Qing Yu, this ... how can you raise this Ancestral Protector?" ask Wang Tianji.
"Earth Protector? You mean this ugly wooden statue?" Qing Yue'er blinked her eyes in confusion. Where is the Ancestral Protector?! Isn't there just this troublesome ugly statue?
Everyone's jaws are falling. What the fuck is this kid?! Ugly wooden statue he said? Really brazen!
Even if the elders were lured in exchange for a hundred thousand spirit stones, they would not be willing to simply say the Ancestral Protective Statue as an ugly wooden statue. This is truly an insult to the good name of the ancestor!
"You're really disrespectful! If I don't punish you today, then there are no more merit laws in this world!"
With a single wave of his hand, a lightning snake darted swiftly from Elder Tang's hand.
Qing Yue'er did not even have the time to dodge when she suddenly felt something wrapped around her body tightly. The lightning snakes rolled around tying up his entire body.
Initially Qing Yue'er felt nothing but tightness in her chest, but the longer she felt her spiritual qi being sucked dry. If this goes on for a long period of time, perhaps the dantian will dry up for good.
"Tang Huanyu, you cannot recklessly punish a disciple."
Wang Tianji disagreed with Elder Tang's actions. At least they should listen to the other party's explanation first. He immediately moved to help free Qing Yue'er from the lightning snake's bonds.
The face that originally paled instantly came back in color. Qing Yue'er sighed lazily. It seems like he's causing trouble again. Maybe the problem is destined to keep following it.
"Qing Yu simply did not know about the Ancestral Protector Statue. If he knew it, he would definitely not dare to touch the statue. Isn't that right, Qing Yu?" wang Tianji asked who was still defending Qing Yue'er.
Qing Yue'er felt embarrassed upon hearing Wang Tianji's remark. Not only did he touch the face of the statue, he had even been leaning back at the beginning when he accidentally activated them.
But he should be innocent, right? He did not know things about ancestors and so on. If he knew, how could he possibly dare to do such a thing to the Ancestral Protector?
Qing Yue'er nodded her head. "That's true. This student really doesn't know about this."
"Hm!" Tang Huanyu snorted unhappily. Even the other elders were dissatisfied with this. They wanted to corner Qing Yu, but someone's voice made them undo his intentions.
"Xiao Yu, are you okay? If anyone hurts you, you just have to tell me. Even if the ancestor intervenes, I will still stand up to defend you."
Zu Tiankong walked up to them. His face still looks as usual. It seemed that he was not worried at all about his words.
"Thank you, Master," Qing Yue'er replied with a fluffy smile. This is called being 'indulged.'
"But it's not that simple, Zu Tiankong."
The voice of another person heard from the end of the room made all eyes turn to look at him.
