Chapter 2300 - 2300 I'll Protect Him

2300 I’ll Protect Him
The lightning pool erupted, and several deities—including Yu Qian—attacked together. It took a full three days and three nights to finally calm down.
The huge Soul Lock Seal floated quietly and sealed the entire lightning pool. Under it, countless lightning bolts swam.
From afar, it was as if a thick layer of ice had frozen the surface of the sea, suppressing everything.
A faint light flickered on the Soul Lock Seal, cold and dazzling.
Yu Qian’s expression was cold as he stared at the Soul Lock Seal for a long time.
The people around him were also silent. The air seemed to freeze.
Although they had temporarily used the Soul Lock Seal to calm it down, the lightning pool would maintain its current state for a long time. This was unprecedented in 10,000 years.
Even when they imprisoned Yi Zhao here, they didn’t cause such a huge commotion.
After a long time, Yu Qian looked at Mu Dongyou and asked in a low voice, “How much control do you have over the power of the lightning pool now?”
Mu Dongyou hesitated for a moment before answering, “Half.”
This was already getting better.
At the most critical moment, he almost lost control of the entire lightning pool. It wasn’t until the Soul Lock Seal suppressed it that he gradually regained control of these heavenly lightning bolts.
However, this didn’t improve Mu Dongyou’s mood at all.
He was the Fourth Deity. From the day he ascended to this position, he had been in charge of guarding the lightning pool.
It had been 10,000 years, but when the lightning pool was in chaos, he was actually unable to help at all. He was even trapped inside and almost died.
If word got out, no one would believe it.
As expected, Yu Qian’s expression turned even colder. “Is this how you’ve guarded the lightning pool all these years?!”
Mu Dongyou’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately lowered his head and admitted his guilt. “I’ve neglected my duty. Please punish me, Second Deity!”
“You’re not negligent. You’re incompetent!” Yu Qian sneered and said mercilessly.
Mu Dongyou choked, and his face turned pale, but he couldn’t think of any retort.
This was indeed irrefutable. He had to admit it even if he didn’t want to.
Jin Yunlai suddenly said, “Second Deity, the main reason why the lightning pool suddenly rioted this time is because of Yi Zhao. Fortunately, he still survived…”
Jin Yunlai shut his mouth.
Yu Qian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart. This isn’t the time to punish Mu Dongyou. Furthermore, if he is deposed, no one will be able to replace him for the time being.
Unlike Shu Jing, Mu Dongyou was very important to the lightning pool and was basically irreplaceable. This was because the Holy Body he cultivated was very special; he could withstand more lightning power than others.
Ordinary people couldn’t even approach the depths of the lightning pool, but Mu Dongyou could guard this place all year round. Therefore, even if Yu Qian was angry, he couldn’t replace Mu Dongyou just like that.
Shu Jing’s eyes flickered, and she said softly, “Second Deity, Yi Zhao did this because he knew that Yi Gong had betrayed the clan and was furious. That’s why he risked everything to kill him. He has now achieved his goal, but he has also fallen into a coma. Fortunately, the most important one should be fine for the time being.”
She was naturally talking about Tuan Zi.
At the thought of Tuan Zi, Yu Qian’s expression improved a little. That’s right. Yi Gong is dead, and Yi Zhao is in a coma. Fortunately, Tuan Zi wasn’t affected much.
“Shangguan Yue has already brought her back?” he asked in a low voice.
Shu Jing nodded her head. “She left as soon as it happened.”
She ran really fast. I thought that she would definitely die here this time, but who knew… Shu Jing lowered her eyes slightly to hide the emotions in them.
Tuan Zi’s status in the Second Deity’s heart was extremely high now. She knew very well that no matter what, she couldn’t touch this red line.
“She’s quite smart,” Yu Qian said, his voice emotionless. However, it was obvious that he was more certain about Chu Liuyue risking her life to save Tuan Zi.
After all, Tuan Zi had just opened her seventh meridian. If anything happened to her now, Yu Qian would really vomit blood.
Shu Jing felt a little uncomfortable. She smiled and said, “I heard that she has already canceled her contract with Tuan Zi. I didn’t expect her to be so concerned. No wonder the Second Deity allowed her to enter and exit Phoenix Mountain at will.”
Yu Qian glanced at her coldly. “Shu Jing, are you dissatisfied?”
Shu Jing quickly lowered her head. “I wouldn’t dare.”
“I know you don’t like Shangguan Yue.” Yu Qian stared at her indifferently. “Your right to control the medicinal mountain has been revoked. I have to say, it does have something to do with her, but this is ultimately your problem. I’ll only warn you one thing: Don’t touch her! No matter what, she’s the person Tuan Zi values the most. Once something happens to her, no one can guarantee what Tuan Zi will do. Therefore, keep your hands clean and don’t touch Phoenix Mountain, understand?!”
The last sentence was a blatant threat!
Shu Jing’s heart trembled, and she couldn’t maintain the expression on her face. “Yes, I understand.”
Yu Qian glanced at Mu Dongyou. “I will transfer the Ninth Deity and the Tenth Deity over later. From today onward, the three of you will take turns to guard this lightning pool. If you find anything abnormal, come and report immediately.”
“Yes!”
…
After explaining these things, Yu Qian left quickly. Only then did the atmosphere relax a little.
Jin Yunlai said, “Since the Second Deity has already made arrangements, I’ll take my leave first.”
Mu Dongyou nodded. Then, he suddenly thought of something and stopped him. “Wait!”
Jin Yunlai turned around. “Is there anything else, Fourth Deity?”
Mu Dongyou hesitated for a moment before asking, “Do you know much about that Cen Yi?”
“What the Fourth Deity means is…” Jin Yunlai was a little surprised. He didn’t expect him to suddenly mention Cen Yi.
Mu Dongyou said, “Previously, I saw him attack. He seems to have extraordinary strength.”
Although the situation was very chaotic at that time, he still saw that it was Cen Yi who helped Chu Liuyue block the attack.
Jin Yunlai nodded. “In fact, it’s not just Cen Yi. The few subordinates that Shangguan Yue brought over are all considered top-notch in talent and strength. It’s just that… they don’t have a bloodline totem.”
It was also because of this that he didn’t take it to heart.
Mu Dongyou nodded. “I remember now. Shangguan Yue and Si Jing are also like this.”
Since there was no bloodline totem, there was no hope of becoming a deity in the future.
He waved his hand. “Forget it.”
…
In the dark and cramped cage, Dugu Mobao sat quietly.
The surroundings were so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The next moment, a hoarse voice sounded. “You can’t even protect yourself, yet you still want to save Yi Zhao?”
Dugu Mobao opened his eyes—his purple eyes were clear and deep. “Since he’s Yi Ling’s son, I’ll naturally protect him.”
