I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Mu Ling also thought of the person both of them were thinking of. He said to Bai Lian in a low voice, "The person you are talking about had died under the Eighth Sword Deity's sword several decades ago."

"But who else can have such perfect control of water-type power besides him?" Bai Lian's face was deathly pale and his expression was extremely terrifying due to his failure in resisting his body's strange state.

Mu Ling went silent. He had nothing to say in reply.

Xu Xiaoshou did not have the time to listen to the Master and Disciple's conversation at this critical juncture.

He still had a trump card, which was to use the "Vanishing technique" to erase any traces of existence from this place instantly.

Presumably, at that time, this water-type power would not be able to control someone who did not exist.

However, Xu Xiaoshou did not do that.

First, it would expose his identity.

Secondly, he saw that Bai Lian had not given up on the hope of breaking free and had accumulated experience in breaking out of similar situations through repeated experiments.

As for Mu Ling...

This browless swordsman did not resist the entire time. Although he was surprised, he did not seem to be worried about his own safety.

"Grandmaster, since you are so calm, you must have a way to break out of this situation!" Xu Xiaoshou asked impatiently. He thought to himself that if they waited any longer, everyone would be doomed.

Mu Ling cast his gaze over with some difficulty, he then said meaningfully, "Such a strange power hidden in the Yunlun mountain range will definitely affect the safety of the trial-takers. I want to see who is the mastermind behind this and what he is planning!"

Xu Xiaoshou was shocked.

What kind of broad-minded person was he?

They were trapped here, yet he still harbored thoughts of the common people?

For a moment, Xu Xiaoshou felt ashamed of himself. However, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Bai Lian's shocked expression from the corner of his eye, and he immediately understood something...

Mu Ling wasn't usually like this!

Was this because Mu Ling had seen through that he was Xu Xiaoshou, and wanted to leave a good first impression in front of him, his martial nephew?

"Grandmaster, let's not talk about others. You're like a clay bodhisattva crossing the river now. You can't even protect yourself, let alone others!" Xu Xiaoshou muttered softly.

Bai Lian was shocked by Hua Ying's sudden disrespectful attitude. He wanted to scold her, but when he saw the expression on his supreme master's face...

His Supreme Master wasn't angry at all?

That was strange!

Bai Lian still remembered what his Supreme Master had said earlier. "Cooperate with your disciple. She's very smart now.".

He felt that his disciple might have surpassed him and had some special connection with Mu Ling, his Supreme Master. Thus, he endured the urge to scold his disciple and didn't say anything.

Mu Ling was clearly choked by Xu Xiaoshou's words. His eyelids twitched slightly and he did not say a word for a long time.

After waiting for a moment, seeing that the fellow still had that inquisitive look in his eyes, Mu Ling felt that he had no way of evading it. He could only glance elsewhere and reply.

"One's dignity is actually the least important thing. If you can't beat him, you have to learn how to shake him."

"As the emissary of the Holy Palace, I am worried about the safety of the trial-takers. I want to find out the identity of the instigator. As for you guys..."

"Yes, at the critical moment, I... No, you can call me by my Holy Name."

Xu Xiaoshou was stunned when he heard that.

Soon, his face darkened.

That was all???

...

Drip drip drip...

Time passed by.

Water droplets dripped from her soaked dress and splashed onto the mountain.

Rao Yaoyao could already feel the humidity in the air. Her dress was completely stuck to her skin and it was faintly translucent.

Even the hand that was holding the Cang Godhood Sword had droplets of sweat that were formed due to the moisture in the air. They flowed down the sword tip and dripped down.

"Water..."

Rao Yaoyao struggled to resist the strange feeling in her body. The first person that came to her mind was Yu Lingdi.

However, Yu Lingdi would not attack his own people. Furthermore, he had not returned after entering Sky City. She did not know if he had encountered other troubles.

Leaving Yu Lingdi aside, how could there still be such a water-type power in this world that was so difficult to withstand?

"The Great Demon King Yu Mo?"

"Impossible, he's already dead!"

"But other than Yu Lingdi and Yu Mo, as well as this Ye Xiaotian from the Holy Palace, is there really a hidden spiritual cultivator who has grasped the power of Upanishad and is standing on the opposite side of the Holy Divine Palace?"

Rao Yaoyao felt that the situation had become troublesome.

She had already seen off many trial officers on the Lone cliff who could not resist the strangeness of their own bodies and cried out uncontrollably. At the same time, they could not help but walk towards the sea of clouds on Lone Cliff and leap down.

Within this short period of time, the cutting paths and higher voids had not suffered any losses.

However, trial officers of the sovereign stage, other than Situ Yongren who was clad in gold and jade and was still blowing up his protective spiritual weapon, all the others chose to jump off the cliff amidst waves of miserable cries.

This scene was too strange and terrifying. Rao Yaoyao knew that if they continued to fight like this, she might be fine, but the power of the Holy Divine Palace would definitely be reduced by more than half.

"Xuan Cang!"

Rao Yaoyao looked at the Cang Godhood Sword in her hand. "LEND ME YOUR POWER!"

The usually arrogant Cang Godhood Sword seemed to have sensed the danger of this situation.

It did not refuse. Through the contact between her palm, it sent a majestic power of fate into Rao Yaoyao's body, instantly disintegrating the strangeness of the latter's body.

"Buzz!"

Sword cries sounded.

Rao Yaoyao's eyes flashed immediately after the strangeness in her body was temporarily dispelled and regained her mobility.

She raised her body and her clothes were blown dry by the strong wind. However, she could not be bothered to deal with the stowaways who could not move. The spiritual source in her energy reserve surged, and the sound of wind suddenly rose in the surroundings.

"Wind..."

Rao Yaoyao closed her eyes and immersed herself in her own world.

She found her own wind element among the boundless water element in the sky.
