“Since you’ve all decided to stay, but don’t want to lay a hand against those Spirit Beasts, what are you going to do?” Guo Pei Pei didn’t understand.

Sima You Yue smiled, explaining, “Look, there are Spirit Paragon levelled Divine beasts battling, which also means that they should be able to get out of battle. But why aren’t they heading over this valley?”

“It should be because something is enticing them. Otherwise, someone must have given them an order to disregard those two Divine Beasts.” Guo Pei Pei said.

“That’s right. That’s why we have to find out the reason why. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter whether or not we fight or flee.” Sima You Yue explained.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“But these are all Divine Beasts!” Someone from the Guo clan came over and said, “Even if my eldest Sis is already a Spirit Paragon, she has no way to fight all these Divine beasts at the same time. Furthermore, one of them have already reached a strength close to a Spirit Paragon.”

Sima You Yue never thought that Guo Pei Pei would already be a Spirit Paragon at such a young age. Contrasting all the Spirit Paragons in the Yi Lin Continent, who all oldies, to the young spirit paragon right in front of her eyes really proved that comparison could kill!

However, she had happened to overlook the fact that they had already reached Spirit Saint at such a young age as well. Furthermore, they had done it under circumstances of being limited by that prison of a continent.

“Little Roar, will you be able to find out why those spirit beasts have gone to the valley?” Sima You Yue asked Little Roar, who was within her embrace.

“There are so many Divine Beasts… I’m scared to go out.”

“Don’t you always praise your supreme ability to swindle spirit beasts? Now that we’re just asking you to find out a bit of information, you tell us you’re incapable?” Fatty Qu called out from the side.

“Not going, not going.” Little Roar’s long ears drooped down as he used his paws to cover them. He lay in Sima You Yue’s embrace and refused to yield.

Sima You Yue could tell that Little Roar was acting unusually, so she stretched forth a hand to pet his ears, asking, “Little Roar, what’s wrong?”

“Yue Yue, I feel unwell. Really unwell.” LIttle Roar opened his large eyes wide, and looking pitifully at Sima You Yue.

Sima You Yue never expected that he would so drastically change from being completely fine a while ago, to feeling unwell in a second. She asked worriedly, “Which part of you feels unwell?”

“I don’t know, but my heart feels really agitated and suffocated.” Little Roar said.

“Master, I feel the same way. The blood in my vessels are churning.” Little Roc landed on Sima You yue’s shoulder, and he spoke with some difficulty. It was as if he was holding something back.

“Master, me too.” A bird perched on Guo Pei Pei’s shoulder said.

“It should be that something is afflicting them.” Guo Pei Pei reacted and kept the bird on her shoulder away.

Sima You Yue kept Little Roar and Little Roc into her Spirit Pagoda as well. Shortly after the two beasts entered, they felt much better.

“You Yue, it’s possible that this place has a Devil’s crystal stone.” Mo Sha suddenly voiced out.

“Devil’s crystal stone? What is that?” Sima You Yue asked.

“It’s a kind of devil’s crystal that can mess with a spirit beast’s mind.” Mo Sha said, “I can explain more later. First, help me find that item. It is of use to me.”

Sima You Yue pursed her lips. Every time this guy spoke, it was to get her to fetch this or that item. He never put in any of his own effort!

“Hmph hmph. I’ll have to take a look and see if there’s anything else I can squeeze from him. I can’t always do things for him for free!” She secretly muttered.

Everyone’s spirit beast was feeling unwell, so none of them dared to call out their contracted beast.

“They were just fine a minute ago, so what’s gotten into them right now?” Guo Fu said anxiously, “Without contracted beasts, our battle strength is severely limited.”

She really never expected that this kind of thing would happen immediately upon entering the little world!

“Do you know anything about a Devil’s crystal stone?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Devil’s crystal stone? What is that?” Guo Liang asked.

“My contracted beast told me that they’re under the influence of the Devil’s crystal stone.

“Devil’s crystal stone…” Guo Pei Pei’s eyebrows furrowed, asking, “What is that?”

When Sima You Yue saw them acting this way, she knew that they didn’t know anything about the Devil’s crystal stone either. It looked like she couldn’t depend on them.

“Eldest Sis, what do we do now?” Another female from the Guo clan asked while looking at Guo Pei Pei.

Guo Pei Pei’s expression was ugly. Without contracted beasts, their battle abilities were halved. She was the only Spirit Paragon, and it was going to be arduous for the group of them to defeat a few hundred Spirit Beasts.

“Looks like we have no choice but to look for the Devil’s crystal stone.” Wei Zi Qi said.

“We’ve been in the valley for such a long time, but we haven’t felt a thing. It’ll be pretty difficult to look for the Devil’s crystal stone right now.” Ouyang Fei said.

“But we still have to.” Sima You Yue said, “Those spirit beasts will only stop once we find it.”

“Don’t worry.” Mo Sha’s voice carried over, “The Devil’s crystal stone doesn’t do anything in the day time. You all just have to get through the night and it will be fine. You can look for the Devil’s crystal stone tomorrow.”

“Those Divine Beasts won’t eat that Devil’s crystal stone?” Sima You yeu asked.

“The Devil’s crystal stone only causes them to lose their senses. It isn’t appetising to them.” Mo Sha said.

“That’s easy then!” Sima You Yue said.

“You Yue, do you have an idea?” Wei Zi Qi asked when he saw Sima You Yue’s expression.

“They told me that the Devil’s crystal stone only has effect at night, not in the morning. So, we just have to get past tonight.” Sima You Yue said.

“But, it’s not going to be easy to get past tonight.” Guo Pei Pei said while looking at the valley, “There are so many Divine Beasts charging over, but only ten of us…”

“Array.” Sima You Yue said, “We just need to use an array. Call your men over. Zi Qi, help keep watch over the situation. See how long it will take before those spirit beasts enter. I’m going to set up a protective array.”

Although she had already set up a protective array when they came, it wasn’t strong enough. She needed to set up a whole new one.

She took out some array stones, then suddenly slapped her forehead, saying, “How could I be so stupid!”

“What’s wrong, You Yue?” Bei Gong Tang asked when she say her slap her own forehead.

“I’m so stupid I could cry.” Sima You Yue said, “I clearly have enough time to create an array, so why don’t I make a teleportation array instead of a protective array?! Call them over, We’re leaving this place.”

“Roar-”

“Screech-”

The spirit beasts got closer, and were mere minutes away from reaching where they were.

“Everyone enter the protective array.” Sima You Yue shouted at the Guo family twice. Once they entered, she inserted her spiritual qi and activated the array, as a white ray of light enveloped them.

After that, she began to set up a teleportation array within the protective array.

The Guo clan members never thought that Sima You Yue was an array master, and watched as she constructed every step without even thinking much about it. This proved that she was an array master who was pretty highly ranked!

A few minutes later, those spirit beasts arrived in the centre of the valley.

“You Yue, the spirit beasts have entered!” Fatty Qu cried out when he saw the spirit beasts.

“What are you so anxious about! Don’t we still have our protective array!” Sima You Yue didn’t even look up as she continued to set up the array. She wasn’t a single bit worried about the spirit beasts who had charged in.
