"Ahem..."
Suddenly, a clear cough was heard in the darkness, and then a white figure slowly sat up.
Chu Tianxiao regained consciousness.
After circulating his true energy to dispel the uncomfortable feeling, he lit a spark to illuminate the surroundings, and saw that there was no one around, only large tracts of barren land, and there was silt everywhere. One after another, black bubbles were born and annihilated, making crisp sounds...
At this moment, a Sumeru Ring in Chu Tianxiao's arms suddenly lit up - this was exactly what the official gave him before the decisive battle with Mu Xin!
With his eyes narrowed, he quickly took out an "object" that looked like a cone or a hammer. He saw a flash of light on it, and it seemed very unstable...
“… Has the situation changed?”
"The East Formation Core is lost? Unexpectedly... so quickly!?"
“… Could it be that there is something wrong with the point that I vaguely guessed at the beginning?”
Although Chu Tianxiao has deduced most of the demon conspiracy by now, there are still some doubts.
In a flash, he unconsciously lowered his eyes slightly.
“…Qin Yun.”
"... Although we don't know what the demons wanted Qin Yun to do by investing so much before, it is obvious that they... have a backup plan!"
"The living Qin Yun would have a plan, and the dead one would probably have one too!"
"Hmm... Black Sky Blood Altar... Since you can use your loved ones to perform curses and killings, can you do something else with their blood? For example... lead people to become demons? This sounds unbelievable, but if it's the blood of the Prince of Fortune, then it's entirely possible!"
Chu Tianxiao combined his previous speculations and finally figured out the last link. However, this most likely inference was not a good thing...
"Most of the Chu family members have moved into the Imperial Garden. Huobao Niang is also staying in the Imperial Garden tonight to rest because she is not feeling well. She did not come here... She should be fine now. The problem is with Third Uncle... If Qin Chuyang falls into the devil's way, the situation will be unimaginable!"
Chu Tianxiao watched the light of the Sumeru Ring gradually dim...
"Your Majesty has entrusted me with this, and Mr. Gao has trusted me. I will never let you down!"
"But... the demons have already taken the lead, and the situation has collapsed so badly... How can we turn the situation around?"
The more Chu Tianxiao thought about it, the more cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Yes, no matter how you look at it, tonight is already a dead end. What can I change with my Tongxuan realm? Not to mention, I am still trapped here and can't get out... Wait!
Trapped Here?!
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Chu Tianxiao's mind. He took a deep breath, forced down his worries and other negative emotions, and entered a state of calm meditation!
"Dilemma... There is one thing that doesn't make sense!"
As soon as Chu Tianxiao entered the state, he quickly caught the fleeting inspiration and saw through the key!
"That is... why did the demons only launch this trapping formation just now? Well, if I think about it carefully, the strongest person who 'trapped' with me was only a half-step great cultivator... Were they worried that they couldn't be trapped? No, that doesn't make sense - they have done so much, why would they let down their guard on the 'strength'?"
"… Then why?"
"Could it be..."
Chu Tianxiao’s thoughts became clearer!
"Wait... I have never seen this kind of formation before, but it is so effective that it is impossible to set it up casually, and it is even more impossible to have formed the formation so early under your majesty's nose. The most likely possibility is that the thing below was secretly built by King Nanyang, and this strange 'trap' formation was completed tonight, which is the finishing touch! So, there is not much time to set up the formation, and the power can only be compensated by stronger treasures. So if I think about it more carefully and make a bold guess... Could it be... like this?"
Suddenly, Chu Tianxiao's eyes lit up, and a flame seemed to be burning in his eyes!
"The demons took action when there was no great practitioner present, not because they were worried that they could not be trapped, but because they were worried that if there was a great practitioner present, he would be able to destroy... the ritual?"
"Yes!"
"If the Black Sky Blood Altar is in a certain area we are about to go down to, then everything makes sense!"
"… Good, good! The most dangerous place is the safest place! This move kills several birds with one stone. Not only does it contain the strong men here, but it also makes it difficult for those strong men outside to find the key to beheading them! Turning helplessness into an advantage is really a ruthless and clever move!"
When Chu Tianxiao thought of this, he felt his heart beating wildly - if his audacious fantasy was right, didn't it mean that he really had the possibility of "reversing the situation"
Although... the person who could set up this game must be an extremely cautious guy, he will definitely try to minimize the risk... But the road ahead will inevitably be full of difficulties, and it is very likely that he will be isolated from the "old generation of strong men" and will not receive their strong support...
but!
What does that matter
You know, the one joining the game now is Chu Baijia!
Which of the things he does is not walking on a tightrope off a cliff
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, can it be harder than torturing your true destiny
"Then... let me, Chu Baijia, try it out. This is the sour feeling of turning the tide and saving the world!"
With a slight movement of his mind, Chu Tianxiao took out the "ring" containing the old man, and slowly rotated it, concentrating on sensing it. By using the different "absorption amplitudes", he deduced the place where the evil spirit was the strongest...
After a moment, Chu Tianxiao suddenly opened his eyes!
…
…
at the same time.
Somewhere ahead.
Black fog filled the air, with faint flashes of light in between, explosions echoing one after another, and deep scars appeared one after another...
If you look closely, you will find that the two sides of the battle are several fallen demons with hideous faces and evil eyes on one side - they have obviously been aroused by the evil spirit here and have become the running dogs of the demons - and on the other side, there is only one person, a young man in black. He looks a little haggard, blood is flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his clothes are torn. At this moment, he is launching powerful attacks without paying attention to his own load. It seems that he has injured four or five fallen demons...
This young man in black is none other than Qin Di, the Qin family’s number one talent after Qin Yun!
After Qin Di got some benefits from the Panlong Road, he has already advanced to the lower realm of Tongxuan. His strength is really extraordinary. A group of fallen demons besieged him alone, but they managed to evenly fight him... However, as time went by, he was no match for the other party's human wave tactics. His true essence seemed to be declining, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage in the fight...
Seeing this, the faces of the fallen demons became even more ferocious, and their eyes looking at Qin Di were full of greed and blood—these people had a grudge against Qin Di. After they fell into the demons, although they retained their rationality as human beings, they were actually no longer human beings, but only monsters controlled by negative emotions such as desire and hatred. So at this moment, the only thing they wanted to do was... kill Qin Di, the "enemy", peel off his skin, and drink his blood alive!
Seeing that Qin Di was gradually losing his strength, the offensive of this group of fallen demons became more and more fierce. Soon, they left scars all over Qin Di's body. One of the fallen demons laughed weirdly, and then pushed out a palm flatly, which mobilized the evil spirits everywhere and swept towards Qin Di like an overwhelming force!
However, he was unable to muster up enough energy to take on this move...
It seemed that Qin Di was about to die on the spot, but at this moment, an icy white sword energy came flying at him from not far away. There was a bang, and the evil spirit that was spreading everywhere was frozen by this sword, and the field became extremely cold!
The Luo family’s top genius, Luo Bingbai!
Luo Bingbai was seen stepping on a sea-blue ice-patterned magic circle. Ice formed along the way as he walked. Soon, a very bright cold light appeared on Luo Bingbai's fingers, which turned into six snow swords of different shapes with a whoosh. Then, a whistling sword energy was heard, and six blue lights quickly surrounded the fallen demon who was moving forward. Then, in an instant, the sword energy was crisscrossed and kept shuttling back and forth. The fallen demon's extremely miserable wails rose one after another, and then gradually subsided!
At the same time, the other geniuses who came to help him also showed their magical powers. For a while, the field was brilliant, with frequent moves and endless explosions! With the participation of this group of fresh troops, the fallen demons were immediately beaten back. Soon, the first person fell, and then the second, the third...
The fallen demons in the field were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The situation quickly stabilized.
Not long after, the winner was decided, but the group of fallen demons were killed and wounded in large numbers, with only a few survivors. Even those who escaped were seriously injured...
However, just as the fallen demons retreated, many of the top talents in Kyoto who came to support were about to see if Qin Di was in trouble, but suddenly they discovered that this person suddenly...
Gone!
An extremely ominous premonition surged into the hearts of several people!
