Naturally, they believed this clone must have flaws. Until they found the weakness of this White Great Shaman’s clone, they dared not make a move.
"Get out of my Lucky Forest immediately. If I still find you here in three hours, do not blame me for slaughtering you all." After speaking, the White Great Shaman vanished into the white mist above.
"Owner Ruan, what should we do?" Wu Shang looked at Ruan Mengtuo.
Ruan Mengtuo was ambitious, but not foolish. The current situation was clearly unfavorable to her. "We retreat first. Unless we have the power to destroy this clone, we cannot attack the Lucky Forest." The White Great Shaman’s power was real; not everyone dared to face him.
Ruan Mengtuo snorted. "This White Great Shaman is indeed cunning. He disappeared himself, yet left a clone here, adding a layer of mist protection to the Lucky Forest. Does he really think we cannot break through? Let’s go back and discuss. The next time we come, it will be our true chance to attack." Ruan Mengtuo ordered the retreat decisively.
Sometimes, a woman’s decisiveness surpasses that of a man. Just like now, Ruan Mengtuo ordered the retreat, and Wu Shang did not insist on staying.
Although they returned without success, they felt they had gained something. At least they knew the real White Great Shaman was not there; it was only his clone.
Thus, the misunderstanding was born. Now, they needed to return and discuss how to deal with this clone.
Generally, a clone’s cultivation and power are inferior to the original, but not by much. Therefore, they needed absolute certainty before attacking the Lucky Forest again. Trapped in the mist array for so long, and shocked by the lightning just now, they felt it was not the right time to attack. So, they left.
Zhu Yanyi felt extremely confused. Where did that lightning come from? She looked up at the sky.
The Elf Queen signaled the flames to withdraw the illusion and approached. Seeing Zhu Yanyi looking up, she also looked at the sky. The people following behind thought there was something in the sky and looked up too.
Zhu Yanyi realized they were all looking up and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"We saw you and Her Majesty looking at the sky, so we looked too. Is there something in the sky worth watching?" Xiao Yun answered seriously, blinking her innocent eyes.
The Elf Queen looked at Zhu Yanyi seriously. "I saw you looking at the sky, thinking there was something good there, so I looked too."
So that was it. Zhu Yanyi smiled helplessly. "I just wanted to see where that lightning came from."
"Lightning?" The Elf Queen was stunned for a moment, then asked, "That lightning wasn’t from you?"
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. She was also surprised. She had thought the Elf Queen did it. "No. I don’t have that kind of power. Although I can set up lightning arrays, they only work when someone enters. Besides, I didn’t set up any lightning arrays in the Lucky Forest. So, when lightning fell from nowhere, I was curious to see what was happening."
The Elf Queen now understood why Zhu Yanyi was looking up. "You say that, and I don’t understand either. I thought the lightning was one of your methods."
Zhu Yanyi shook her head. "It really wasn’t my method." She looked at the sky, her mind racing. The Elf Queen didn’t have this ability, and neither did she. Then who had such great power?
Could it be Yan Aohan?
Zhu Yanyi thought of Yan Aohan. She could only think of him because she knew he was secretly protecting her. If he had summoned the lightning, it would explain its origin.
Yan Aohan, floating in mid-air, glanced at Xie Jifan beside him. "You are interesting. You actually came specifically to summon thunder."
Xie Jifan smiled lightly. "I had to give you some face. Besides, I dislike the Dark Forest’s actions. And your wife did a great job. She didn’t help directly but cultivated the people of the Lucky Forest. For that, helping with a few lightning strikes is acceptable."
Yan Aohan smiled faintly. "Your lightning had a good effect." Then he asked, "Didn’t you leave this plane? Why did you appear again?"
Xie Jifan sighed. "Bai Yunfei went to face his love tribulation. Before leaving, he prayed to me with one-third of his faith points, asking me to protect the Lucky Forest.
To be honest, I don’t care much about faith. But since it merged into my body, I must respond. However, my intervention cannot be compared to his faith. Fortunately, your wife is helping to educate his people. This way, I only need to help occasionally."
No wonder the lightning was so satisfying. Yan Aohan understood. He smiled slightly, looking down. "Your wife helped you solve a major problem, and you only gave lightning? Aren’t you too stingy?"
Xie Jifan glanced at Yan Aohan. "I know what to do even if you don’t say it. But your wife hasn’t fully educated the people here yet. She must succeed before she can receive my reward."
Xie Jifan looked at Yan Aohan again. "Besides, I have accepted her as a sister. Would I let her suffer?"
Yan Aohan smiled slightly, pretending not to hear Xie Jifan’s words. As long as he knew his wife would not suffer in the end, that was enough.
Zhu Yanyi could not find the actual answer, so she did not worry about where the lightning came from. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, the effect was good, and that was what mattered.
Zhu Yanyi gathered everyone and continued, "Ruan Mengtuo and Wu Shang have retreated temporarily. This is only temporary. They believe the White Great Shaman is still here, which caused this misunderstanding.
But once they confirm that this White Great Shaman is flawed, or that he is truly not in the Lucky Forest, they will attack again.
The next time they come, the real war will begin. Although I have the mist array, they might bring array experts. So, your training must double in the coming days. It will be more difficult."
