Chapter 2729 Stealth Infiltration
He himself had the Cardamom Garden, so of course he could tell that the other party also had a magical artifact for transporting living people!
The three of them successfully smuggled themselves across the border first, and then released their companion from the magical artifact.
This tactic is exactly the same as He Lingchuan's infiltration of Yujing City and Lingyun Palace back then, except that this time the target of the invasion has become the Earth Mother Plain under Cang Yan's control!
By this time, it was already dark, and the Pangze Ruins were shrouded in darkness. After landing, the group summoned several small lamps, which floated in mid-air for illumination.
Did Immortal Mingke know that the Heavenly Palace had so-called Lamp Bearers who were in charge of these ever-burning lamps?
He could sense that these people who had been released were no pushovers. A few of them looked around, then suddenly looked over and met Ming Ke Xianren's gaze.
Although this was just a scene released by the little stone man, and the two sides were far apart, Ming Ke Xianren felt a cold sweat break out on his back when he was stared at by them.
Such powerful pressure! That's definitely not an ordinary immortal!
"How did they get in?" he asked the little stone man. "Can we trace it back?"
The little stone man nodded, and the view on the wall shifted, tilting towards the barrier above the plain.
Because the battle outside the embankment has begun, the Earth Mother Plain is now shrouded in turmoil, with thick clouds drifting up and covering the sky. If anyone with ill intentions were to approach and observe, they would only see through the clouds and remain unaware of the situation on the plain.
Birds from the outside world were also blocked by the invisible, transparent barrier before they could even enter the clouds. Immortal Mingke saw many birds encountering this obstacle and returning dejectedly.
However, many bird demons can still pass freely. These are native monsters of the Earth Mother Plain, carrying plain sand beads. These beads are the barrier passes for the plain, but they cannot be transferred because they are bound to the blood of the bird demons and are ineffective for other creatures.
Furthermore, only one monster is allowed to pass through each sand bead; more than one monster cannot enter the barrier.
In the scene, a bird demon passes through the barrier without any hindrance, its wings are injured, and it flies rather clumsily.
It soon arrived at the ruins of Pangze.
At this time, the ruins were naturally empty and deserted. It circled twice to make sure there were no patrolling soldiers below before landing on the ground and immediately letting people out.
Upon seeing this, Immortal Mingke swore.
"Isn't this just imitating what we did back then?"
During Shangguan Biao's control of Yujing City, the Nine Nether Emperor and he infiltrated the city in this way. Therefore, after the Nine Nether Emperor released the Earth Mother, he improved the barrier's design.
Unfortunately, they still figured it out.
There's no way around it; rules have boundaries, and boundaries can be tested.
Qing Shudi Jun asked in surprise, "That bird demon is my subordinate, named Li Wu. I saved its life before, and it is loyal to us. How could it possibly rebel?"
This is different from the situation when Jiuyou infiltrated Yujing City back then. That plains bird demon must not have been switched, which is why it was able to bring the sand bead into the barrier.
Immortal Mingke casually remarked, "Perhaps the Heavenly Demon did something to it. The Heavenly Demon's methods are strange and unpredictable."
The truth is, although the body of this plains bird demon remained unchanged, its mind had been temporarily taken over.
Among the hundred gods who descended this time was one named Juli God. It possessed a unique divine art that allowed it to temporarily possess a monster or human whose cultivation and soul were inferior to its own, or who was injured or unconscious.
Of course, it's not so easy for a celestial demon to truly descend, so this possession only lasts for half an hour, and during this time, any words spoken by the demon through the physical body, such as "I agree to the descent of the gods," have no legal effect.
However, this little trick is quite appropriate for the current situation.
It temporarily infiltrates the mind of the plains bird demon and temporarily controls its actions, thus successfully passing through the barrier and entering the Earth Mother Plains.
As for the other gods, they all resided in a magical artifact called "Qing Le Ancient Weir".
This is one of the Heavenly Palace's most prized treasures. Like Immortal Mingke's Cardamom Garden, it can hold living beings and move with them. However, its capacity is slightly larger.
The bird demon can pass through the barrier by hiding the "Qing Le Ancient Weir" in its own plain shell.
The barrier, of course, cannot detect it. There is only one hard condition for passing through it: effective sand beads.
At this moment, the stone golem army summoned by the Earth Mother's avatar surged out from the ground and corners of the walls, rushing towards the dozens of people. Each stone golem's body was harder than refined gold; swords and axes were ineffective against it, only sending up a trail of sparks. Back when Shangguan Biao was at his wit's end, the Earth Mother used the stone golem army to hunt down his remaining demon soldiers, an endless swarm.
Many monsters eventually died from exhaustion.
But these invaders are not afraid, and have not even made any move to fight back.
The stone golem army closed in in the blink of an eye, swinging heavy punches at the invaders.
Each fist is the size of a millstone, and each punch sends a whistling wind through the air, capable of smashing a person into a meat patty.
However, they missed.
The stone golem's punches and kicks struck the intruders as if hitting thin air, without any force, and even passed right through their bodies.
Immortal Mingke blurted out, "Disappear!"
Qing Shu Di Jun retorted: "Earth Mother Plains forbids escape."
"It's not the Five Elements Escape Technique, but an 'Escape from Where There's Nowhere to Hide'!" Immortal Mingke's face darkened. "They've concealed their tracks; what we've seen is merely an illusion!"
"They can't escape the Earth Mother's perception, how could they possibly hide right under our noses?" Even Immortal Mingke couldn't answer this question.
So Qing Shudi asked the little stone man, "They are indeed still there, aren't they just illusions?"
“They are not illusions; I can sense their real existence.”
He made a quick decision and said to the little stone man, "A powerful enemy has invaded the plains; awaken Mother Earth."
The visitor seemed ill-intentioned, and he didn't care about waking Mother Earth.
Although he could exercise some control through the little stone men, the one who could monitor and utilize the entire plain with unparalleled skill was the Earth Mother herself.
The little stone man's eyes flashed red twice, and he tilted his head.
Immortal Mingke knew that this action meant it was trying to contact its true self.
Logically, if there are no obstacles in communication between the clone and the original, the Earth Mother should wake up immediately.
However, he waited a few breaths, and then a few more, but received no response from Mother Earth.
The little stone man seemed stunned.
Qing Shudi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "Quick, quick, has Mother Earth woken up yet?"
The little stone still didn't react.
What happened? Mother Earth has lost contact?
The surprise of Mingke Immortal and Qingshu Earth Lord was truly extraordinary. The Earth Mother Plain was suddenly invaded by a powerful enemy. The Earth Mother herself had not lost contact earlier or later, but at this critical moment, she had gone missing. There could not be such a coincidence in the world.
The only explanation is that we have fallen into the enemy's trap!
At this moment, a figure flashed in from outside the south gate of the city. It turned out to be Bao Chihai, who suddenly rushed in from outside. His first words to the two were:
"The Earth Mother has been ambushed, and her soul has been stolen by an enemy!"
