Chapter 706: Chapter 706: What Brings You Here

Margaret stared at the barrier in a daze as she floated outside of it. No one could decipher what she was thinking about.

“Bro, what are you dong? That chick is so beautiful. Why didn't you chat with her more?” the other guard asked when the guard who dealt with Margaret came back.

That guard only harrumphed at the remark. “Stop making fun of me. She came here looking for Zen. The thing is, it looks like she comes from a noble family, so I don't understand why she came here alone. I'm curious as what Zen has done to her that made her come to Cloud Hall without any backup.”

“Hmnn... Should we inform Master Ning?” the other guard inquired.

“I think we should leave it for now. Master Ning has been busy these few days. We just need to watch the door and prevent anyone from entering Cloud Hall,” a third guard said.

As these guards discussed what was happening with hushed voices, their gazes didn't leave Margaret. Standing guard for Cloud Hall was a tedious job, and they already considered it a treat to lay their eyes on such an elegant and stunning beauty as Margaret.

After a short while of having her head down, Margaret raised her head and waved her hand. A crack suddenly appeared in the sky, from which a huge sword quickly descended. It then slashed down towards the barrier of Cloud Hall.

Boom!

As the huge sword landed on the barrier, an earsplitting sound erupted. After that, a layer of ripples began to appear on the barrier of Light of Water.

“Incredible!”

The guards were shocked by what just happened. They did not expect a beautiful lady like Margaret would be so daring and directly attack the barrier of Cloud Hall!

“What happened?” one guard exclaimed as he looked at the huge sword that struck the barrier. “This jerk doesn't know that the Cloud Hall is a fifth-grade sect!” By doing what she did, Margaret was only seeking death.

“Hey, you! Stop what you're doing! You do not want to cause any trouble here at Cloud Hall. Take that as an advice! Because if you continue what you're doing, you won't be able to leave even if you want to later!” a guard warned Margaret as he started readying himself for a fight.

But it was as if Margaret didn't hear any of what the guard said. Continuing her attack, ten cracks suddenly appeared in the sky and ten swords came out of them, each one slashing down towards the barrier.

Thump! Thump!

As the swords fell on the barrier like rainfall, their impact immediately increased tenfold. This time, not only did the noise scare the guards, it also alarmed the people who were in Cloud Hall.

Soon, two stewards at the Internal Elixir Realm rushed out from Cloud Hall's main entrance. With narrowed eyes, they looked at Margaret and asked, their tone scathing, “Who are you and why are you causing trouble here at Cloud Hall?”

Margaret stayed silent and just looked at them. This time, she summoned over a hundred huge swords. After another glance at the guards and the two warriors, she let the swords fall on the barrier.

Boom!

The power that the hundred swords emanated was terrifying. The water ripples on the surface of the barrier began to look bigger.

Margaret's attack was the most ideal way to wear down and even destroy barriers. Such could have a huge impact if a battle between the sects erupted. For example, if she summoned a million swords and concentrated them on one target, she would be able to destroy a city. But she could not kill Zen.

Then, if so many swords were to fall at the same time during a battle, the opposing sect would probably only have a few top masters left. The rest would all be dead, their bodies nothing but minced meat after the attack.

“Halt your attacks!”

“Or else, you will face immediate death!”

“Do you know where you are?”

Despite the shouts of the stewards, Margaret didn't stop at all. She still willed thousands upon thousands of swords to descend on Cloud Hall.

If these swords were to fall at the same time, their power would be devastating. It would almost have the same power as Eddie's punch. The only difference between them was that Eddie's punch was concentrated at a single point, while Margaret's swords were scattered across the barrier. ṘÁ𐌽ꝊʙΕs

But as the barrier was designed to scatter the force of an attack and take it as a whole, Margaret's attack was not any weaker than Eddie's punch. As Margaret's attack continued, the surface of the barrier immediately surged with turbulent waves. At the same time, the supreme life vitality crystals that were maintaining it were also beginning to rapidly deplete.

Zen had been chatting with Rocher. In the past two years, they had experienced a lot of things, and they managed to escape certain death twice. Soon enough, their feelings of relief vanished as they saw violent waves appearing on the barrier around Cloud Hall.

Only a warrior at the Life and Death Realm could be able to cause such a thing. Was Eddie already here? Was he attacking the barrier?

Zen's expression changed and quickly, he rushed towards the entrance of Cloud Hall.

At the same time, Letitia, Morphens and a group of elders from Cloud Hall also rushed outside.

“Zen, what's going on?” Letitia asked Zen as they made their way outside.

“I'm not sure either. In the Central Region, only Life and Death Realm masters can cause such an intense reaction to the Light of Water,” Zen said with a cautious look on his face.

There were only a handful of Life and Death Realm masters in the Central Region. However, if it was Eddie, the guards would have already reported it. So who on earth was attacking the barrier?

Just as Zen arrived at the Cloud Hall's gate, he saw tens of thousands of huge swords appear out of thin air just outside the barrier.

When Letitia, Zen, and Morphens saw the swords, their expressions once again changed. Seeing so many swords falling down onto the barrier, all of them believed that the Light of Water would soon collapse.

“Who are you and why are you attacking the Cloud Hall?” Letitia shouted angrily. But soon enough, they started to see who was on the other side of the barrier, conducting a full-on attack on Cloud Hall. It was a girl in plain clothes.

But just by looking at the oncoming swords, Zen had already felt like he knew who the person outside the barrier was. The swords reminded him of Marilyn. He then looked outside, and there she was - Margaret. His expression changed drastically. After a few moments of awe, he immediately roared at Margaret, “What are you doing? Stop it right now!”

When Margaret heard Zen's voice, all of the swords stopped mid-air. As she saw that the one who spoke was indeed Zen, a smile quickly appeared on her lips. But then, when she saw Zen's angry expression, her face immediately became gloomy. This man had never been nice to her, and she felt that he would never, ever be.

With a flick of her finger, all the swords disappeared into thin air.

Letitia had already planned to make her move. She wanted to kill this attacker before any other sword landed on the barrier. She didn't care who this girl was. Anyone who dared to destroy the barrier around the Cloud Hall would face the wrath of death!

Although the swords were powerful enough that they could destroy the barrier around the Cloud Hall, they wouldn't be able to hurt Letitia. If she decided to, she would have enough time to get around them and find a gap to kill whoever the attacker was.

However, after hearing Zen, the attacker suddenly stopped. That surprised Letitia greatly. Then, she wondered whether Zen knew the girl.

Margaret bit her lips, stared at Zen and said in a hushed voice, “Finally, you're willing to come out to meet me.”

“What? If you really want to see me, why didn't you just let the guards inform me?” Zen said as he continued to glare at Margaret. “How could you be this stupid!”

Then, Margaret pointed at the guards, her lips pouted. “But they told me that you were not here in the Cloud Hall! I thought you were just hiding. I thought you were just not willing to see me.”

Zen turned around and glared at the guards. Scared, the guards immediately explained the misunderstanding with an apologetic face, “Sir, we didn't know you were back. We thought you were still in a distant land, and so we told her that.” The guards were more than scared. If the barrier of Cloud Hall had been destroyed because of this incident, they would be severely punished.

With that, Zen snorted. He then stared back at Margaret and asked, “What brings you here?”

The others were also curious. Why was this woman looking for Zen?

Margaret thought for a while and then shook her head. “I don't know either.”

Morphens and the few elders looked at each other and tittered. They had lived for so many years and could roughly guess that Zen played the field outside, so the girl came after him. Not long ago, Morphens had witnessed a scene where Zen was hugging Letitia. He had no idea how things would end today.

Of course, the one who had to solve the problem definitely wasn't them, but Zen.

Letitia looked at Margaret, her face full of conflicting emotions. Then she asked, “Are you the young lady from the Xi Clan?”

Margaret summoned so many huge swords, just like Marilyn did when she confronted Zen a few years ago. So Letitia guessed that Margaret possessed a Purple Power Body. But then, she noted how she was only at the primary level of the Internal Elixir Realm, yet she could already summon so many swords. Obviously, she was much stronger than Marilyn.

Currently, there were only three Purple Power Bodies in the Central Region, two of which were in Eddie's hands. Since the third one was Xander's great-granddaughter, Letitia had made such a logical conclusion.

As Letitia had guessed her identity, Margaret nodded and said, “Yes, I am Margaret Xi.”

She thought the others would show her respect once she made herself known. However, Letitia just looked at her with a weird expression and asked, “You don't know why you're looking for Zen, but why did you come to the Cloud Hall for him?”
