Chapter 146: Helpless


    "zing Fist!" Fen Jue yelled.


    Boom!


    "Kekeke, useless." Murong Aiyinughed. "So weak!"


    She pped away his massive fireball and responded with her own barrage of icicles. Fen Jue dodged in midair deftly and none hit although there were a couple close calls. After chasing each other in the air, he realized he was losing in long distance trades. He decisively shot forward, choosing to engage her in close quarters and unleash his pent-up rage.


    Chen Wentian watched with a bit of amus.e.m.e.nt. Both of them assumed that Chen Wentian would be on Fen Jue''s side. Fen Jue''s attacks were confident and filled with power while his opponent had to be more careful. The result was that the two were rtively evenly matched when normally they wouldn''t have been. This served Chen Wentian perfectly and he continued to manipte the fight from the side. His Blue Dragon me aura was able to push back Murong Aiyin''s weird freezing field when it was starting to overpower Fen Jue. His aura would then recede when Fen Jue was getting too frisky and overbearing.


    In the meantime, hundreds of crazy Divine zing Mountain disciples ignored themands of their elders and charged towards Long Yifei''s defense line. These just so happened to be the two hundred or so disciples that had been tormented by Murong Aiyin and the cier Pce elders during ''treatment''. They seemed notpletely right in the head after being freed from the ice.


    "Women!"


    "We want women!"


    "Come here, girl!"


    Their eyes were red and filled with madness as they threw themselves at the only source of fresh young women nearby.


    "Hah!" Long Yifei expended her spiritual energy without regard and anchored the line, sending tens of men tumbling backwards. "Steady, don''t break the line!"


    The men were like rabid dogs. They charged forward with no regard for their own bodies. Bones were broken and faces crushed, but they still came back. The senior women at the front were struggling. They had suffered greatly over thest week and they were not in the best of shape.


    "Oh no!" Long Yifei cried out as she saw one of her attendant''s faint from exhaustion.


    The ravenous wolves were about to pull her out and devour her when


    Woosh!


    A jet of blue me shot down from the sky and incinerated the four men around her, leaving nothing but a pile of ck ash


    Long Yifei looked up to see that Chen Wentian had flew back up to join the battle in the sky. She felt an ufortable conflict in her heart.


    "Thanks" She muttered to no one in particr as she resumed her fight...


    While this was all happening, the third battle between the elders of both sects continued to rage. This battle,pared to the other two, was the most ferocious and bloody. Screams of desperation, agony and fury from both sides melded into a cacophony of chaos. Over a thousand red robesbined to create a fearsome firestorm that hovered above head, threatening to swallow everything. However, the pale white icy cloud within the center refused to be extinguished and stubbornly remained.


    Chen Wentian pulled his attention from the other two battles to take stock of this and was shocked that the Divine zing Mountain disciples were actually on the back foot despite their overwhelming number advantage. They could not make any progress and were even losing.


    Bai Qianying reaching Spiritual Ascendance was truly a boon for the women as she couldy down a simr freezing field like Murong Aiyin albeit weaker. It was still very effective against the Divine zing Mountain elders who felt their body grow cold and stiff. Even their blood, bones, and internal organs were affected.


    The male elders retreated to the rear after a few initial exchanges and forced their disciples forward to wear down the strength of the enemy. The battle quickly turned into a bloody meat grinder as weaker male disciples were shoved to the front by their strong senior brothers. Those in the Mind Focusing Realm were directly turned into ice and shattered into thousands of bloody pieces by heavy blows. Those at the initial stages of Spirit Initiate Realm couldst a little longer but they all inevitably cut down by ice des and pierced by icicles.


    All the cier Pce elders were at the peak of the Spirit Initiate Realm. A couple had even broken through a lesser realm after losing their v.i.r.g.i.nity. They were united and they presented an imprable icy wall.


    Chen Wentian shook his head. He would have let those men all die but they were still useful. If they could take care of those cier Pce elders it would save him a lot of trouble. He extended his me aura and assisted the men in the same way as Fen Jue, suppressing Bai Qianying''s ice field so that the zing Sun Art was more effective. It wasn''t enough to turn the tides, only to make sure it was a close fight.


    "Hoh" Chen Wentian muttered as he kept busy, juggling all three battles at once.


    He became a puppeteer of lives as everyone at Lakestone Keep was subject to his whims. If Fen Jue started to struggle, he would inject a bit of blue me. If the any of the young women fell, he would immediately help and stabilize the front line. If the group of old hags got too full of themselves, he would suppress them with a wave of his hand. He was truly the one that held everyone''s lives in his hands.


    Both Fen Jue and Murong Aiyin knew what he was doing but they were powerless to stop him. Fen Jue wanted Chen Wentian to help quickly defeat the Murong Aiyin but Chen Wentian simply refused and flew away and let him get beat up for a while. Murong Aiyin could not beat Chen Wentian by herself and definitely could not beat both of them.


    They gnashed their teeth and threw furious insults his way, but he paid them no heed. What could they do? Team up and chase him? Their disciples were still fighting tooth and nail below, there was no way out.


    They were helpless and they could only keep on fighting.
