Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: Ask For Baishe’s Help
Deep inside the isolated bamboo forest...
Ji Yuan’s calm expression suddenly shifted. He slowly raised his eyes toward the distant, darkened sky.
"The school’s protective formations have just fallen...." Ji Yuan’s quiet, even voice echoed softly through the rustling bamboo. He paused, a rare gravity settling over his features. "They are coming here."
His dark eyes shifted downward toward the resting form of Baihu. The little tiger cub remained peacefully asleep within his thick, swirling cocoon of violent spiritual energy. Unfortunately, his royal breakthrough was still far from complete.
At almost the same moment, Bai Xifeng also sensed it. Dozens of terrifying, malicious auras were rapidly approaching the boundaries of the Inscriber Division. Each individual aura was incomparably powerful, far stronger and heavier than anyone she had ever fought in her life.
Just then...
Cough!
A heavy, muffled cough suddenly broke the silence of the clearing.
Bai Xifeng immediately turned her head around. The moment she did, her pupils contracted sharply in panic.
"Teacher Ji." Bai Xifeng rushed to Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan had lowered his head slightly, his hand pressed against his chest. Fresh, dark blood slowly trickled from the corner of his lips, dripping onto the green bamboo leaves below. His face had become noticeably, worryingly paler than before.
"Teacher Ji! Are you alright?" Bai Xifeng hurried over to his side, reaching out to support his trembling arm.
Ji Yuan casually wiped away the blood with the back of his white sleeve, his expression instantly returning to its usual unbothered state. "I am fine."
His voice remained as calm and steady as ever. However, Bai Xifeng knew him far too well. She knew that was a blatant lie.
She had already easily guessed the underlying reason for his sudden injury. The personal, invisible barrier currently surrounding and masking the entire Inscriber Division was directly connected to Ji Yuan’s own life force and soul. Every single brute-force attack striking the outer layer of the barrier was simultaneously placing a tremendous, crushing physical pressure upon its creator.
The stronger and more synchronised the enemy’s attacks became... the heavier the internal burden Ji Yuan had to bear alone.
Outside the Inscriber Division...
The invading alliance of experts had finally reached the perimeter of the Inscriber Division. The exact moment they discovered yet another independent, shimmering barrier blocking their path, their faces immediately darkened with intense irritation.
"What now? Another hidden formation?"
"How incredibly troublesome!"
"Break it down!"
Without even waiting for a leader to issue a formal order, several of the strongest experts simultaneously launched their most destructive, explosive techniques.
Brilliant, terrifying, magical techniques continuously exploded against the surface of Ji Yuan’s barrier. Although the shield managed to remain standing, violent, heavy ripples spread across its golden surface with every single impact.
Inside the bamboo forest, Ji Yuan’s complexion grew increasingly deathly pale.
Cough!
Another mouthful of blood escaped his lips, staining the grass. His long fingers trembled ever so slightly as he maintained his hand seals.
Bai Xifeng clenched her fists so tightly her knuckles turned white. She could no longer allow Ji Yuan to shoulder the weight of this entire war alone. If this relentless bombardment continued for much longer, even an unfathomable master like Ji Yuan would eventually collapse from internal injuries.
Her mind raced rapidly through her options, discarding one after another. Then, a single, world-shaking name surfaced in her thoughts.
Baishe.
Normally, Bai Xifeng was extremely, deeply reluctant to ever summon him into the mortal realm. In her heart, Baishe had always been her ultimate, final trump card, the terrifying existence she would only ever reveal when absolutely everything else had completely failed, and her life was on the line.
But today, there was simply no longer any room left for hesitation. If she continued hiding her true strength out of caution, everyone here might die before the sun fully rose.
Taking a deep, steadying breath, Bai Xifeng immediately established a powerful mental connection with the mysterious Mirror World.
"Baishe," Bai Xifeng’s voice became exceptionally serious, echoing in her soul. "I need your help right now."
The very next second, the surrounding space inside the bamboo forest began to distort violently. A gentle, ethereal ripple spread through the air, tearing a rift in reality. Then, a tall, elegant figure dressed in spotless, flowing white robes slowly stepped out from the tear in the Mirror World, looking as though he were merely taking a leisurely afternoon stroll through a garden.
His long, silver-white hair flowed gently behind him despite the complete absence of any wind in the clearing. His devastatingly handsome face remained completely calm, cold, and indifferent to the chaos around him.
The moment his feet touched the grass, the entire chaotic bamboo forest seemed to fall into an unnatural, absolute silence. Even the violent, erratic spiritual qi whirlpools surrounding Baihu became noticeably calmer, completely suppressed by his sheer presence.
Ji Yuan’s usually tranquil, unshakeable eyes flickered with genuine shock for the very first time since Bai Xifeng had met him. He silently and intensely observed the white-robed newcomer.
This person... No... this specific aura...
Although Baishe was deliberately and meticulously restraining his overwhelming presence, Ji Yuan could still clearly sense an incomparably ancient, primordial pressure hidden just beneath that calm, elegant exterior. It was a divine pressure that far, far surpassed ordinary high-grade spirit beasts.
"What do you need me to do?" Baishe calmly turned his gaze toward Bai Xifeng, ignoring everything else.
His tone remained smooth and gentle, as though he were merely asking her about something completely ordinary and mundane.
Bai Xifeng’s gaze immediately turned ice-cold. She looked past the trees, past the bamboo forest, staring in the exact direction of the approaching experts outside.
