Chapter 2426 The Plan to Take Everything in One Go
"Shangguan Biao is the master of the secret realm, can't he close it himself?"
“No,” Immortal Mingke replied. “The existence of secret realms has its own rules, and even the master of a secret realm can hardly interfere by force. If he could do whatever he wanted here, he could have easily crushed us when we first came in. How could he let us jump around like this?”
He Lingchuan also said, "This secret realm exists because of Shangguan Biao's past obsessions. Since it is an 'obsession,' it is the most difficult thing for him to change easily. Therefore, he can either let nature take its course and secretly trigger it, or we can end the secret realm."
"The end?"
"If we had killed Shangguan Biao or stolen the Wind and Dew Golden Lotus earlier, it's very likely that the secret realm would have ended prematurely. Because according to the subsequent development of the secret realm, if either of these two elements is missing, it cannot continue."
"Insidious!" Aunt Zhu cursed, then asked, "If we steal the Earth Mother's essence, shouldn't the secret realm also be shut down?"
“Very likely.” He Lingchuan had thought about this question repeatedly. “One of the important purposes of Shangguan Biao in building the Duzhishan Secret Realm was to seal it. The Earth Mother’s spirit may also be an indispensable element of this secret realm.”
Immortal Mingke looked worried: "The crevice has closed, and we've also alerted Changfeng Valley. I'm afraid we won't be able to achieve our goal."
Without obtaining the Earth Mother's spirit, it will be difficult to fundamentally dismantle Jade Capital and weaken Shangguan Biao's power.
So, there are tough battles to be fought both inside and outside the city.
"If it doesn't work out, let's go out. Staying in this secret realm is always risky." He Lingchuan sighed. "There's a battle to be fought outside too."
The Blood Demon chuckled in his ear, "Is that really what you think? Did you already tamper with things just now?"
The conversations between it and He Lingchuan were inaudible to others.
He Lingchuan's lips curled slightly, and he flicked his hand—
The left hand that was bitten by the mole cricket just now.
He was wearing the Clang Dragon Armor, and the stone ant had bitten his wrist guards and gauntlets. Despite its dusty appearance, its bite force was astonishing, capable of biting through steel. However, it left a row of fine teeth holes in the Clang Dragon Armor, which the three of them quickly repaired while they were talking.
What He Lingchuan shook off was the sticky substance clinging to his hands.
Aunt Zhu quietly asked him, "Is your hand alright?"
He Lingchuan shook his head. Fifteen years ago, his wrist bones wouldn't have been able to withstand such pressure; the stone cricket might have bitten through his bones. He wouldn't have dared to take that risk.
However, the back that had been hit by Li Yun's stone fist was still throbbing with pain.
He took out Li Yun's severed left hand, pulled the rattle drum out of his palm, and examined it carefully.
Undoubtedly, this was also a magical artifact. He Lingchuan held it in his hand and quickly figured out how to use it.
"It's actually something from Mother Earth."
Looking back, Immortal Mingke's flying boat was incredibly fast; this person truly had a knack for escaping. The distance between the pursuers and the three was widening. Would Li Yun give up the chase?
However, what happened next taught him a lesson: wishful thinking.

Seeing the buildings of the former Jade Capital City rising one after another from the ruins of Panlong, the Cyclops King asked in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, this Panlong Ancient City is too large. Should we abandon a portion of it?"
The real Panlong City in history didn't reach the scale of the Panlong world, but it was still a large city with a considerable area and population. Its size would rank among the top five of the ruins annexed by Yujing City. To carry away such a large city would require far too much energy from the Earth Mother, making it not worthwhile.
The usual practice is to cut out the essential and landmark parts of the ruins to preserve them as memorials, while discarding other irrelevant parts. For example, only the mountain gate and Duzhi Mountain were preserved in Changfeng Valley, and only a small section of the Coral Sea was preserved in the underwater ruins.
"No!" Mother Earth flatly rejected its suggestion. "No matter how much power is used, the entire Panlong Ruins must be preserved, including the city walls!"
Cyclops King: "Ah? Then we'll have to use the Mystic Crystal given to us by the Heavenly Demon."
The two celestial demons recently sought an alliance with the Earth Mother, bringing many gifts with them.
"Any questions?"
"No, I'll take care of it right away." The Cyclops King scratched his head. "What about that secret realm you mentioned that's growing in the shadows? What should we do about it?"
This fellow is even more cunning than the Bear King. The Earth Mother glanced at it sideways and asked, "Tell me, even if that secret realm is fully formed, where will it be?"
"In the ruins of Panlong."
"Then where is the Panlong Ruins?"
"In..." The Cyclops King stammered, then suddenly realized, "Ah, in our Jade Capital City! Yes, this newly formed secret realm will also be in our city!"
"Then what are you worried about?"
The Cyclops King chuckled and fell silent.
The existence of the old Panlong Secret Realm will resist the invasion of the Earth Mother and Yujing City;
However, once the new secret realm was created, Panlong Ruins had already been taken away by Yujing City, so it had no choice but to follow the Earth Mother.
Therefore, apart from the collapsed northeast section of the city wall, the Earth Mother also needs to temporarily maintain the overall integrity of Panlong Ancient City so that the new secret realm can attach itself normally.
As for cutting and trimming, that's for later.
Mother Earth had one more thing she didn't say:
The creation and existence of this new Panlong Secret Realm will help it secure the Great Square Pot.
Needless to say, the mastermind behind this new secret realm built it to replace the old one and connect to the Great Square Pot. Now, however, it's all going to benefit the Earth Mother.
It had done its homework beforehand and knew that this pot was very strange, disliking this and that, and might not sign a contract with the infamous immortal. So having the Panlong New Secret Realm as a buffer in the middle was the best option.
Of course, this leads to a crucial step:
The Earth Mother must claim this new Panlong Secret Realm for herself; that is to say, she must eliminate the new owner of this secret realm!
Isn't this kind of thing right in its comfort zone?
The Earth Mother suddenly said, "Actually, the master of this new secret realm has already infiltrated Jade Capital City. What it wants to do is exactly the same as what I want to do."
Its target and the target on the other side are exactly the same:
Eliminate the opponent and seize control of the secret realm!
Upon hearing this, the Cyclops King was greatly alarmed: "Your Majesty, is it the group that caused the disturbance at the White House? I will take my men back to capture them immediately."
"You?" Mother Earth scoffed. "Jade Capital City has been invaded for so long, and you bunch of useless trash don't even know how many groups of enemies there are."
Now, Yujing City has taken a crucial step: securing the Panlong Ruins.
With the ruins in hand, the advantage is entirely on its side. The owner of this new secret realm is now on the defensive, and it's only a matter of time before it finds out and defeats them.
"Besides the White House, there's more?" the Cyclops King asked matter-of-factly. "Yes, where? I'll take my men and wipe them out!"
The Earth Mother glanced at it and said ominously, "Just wait, they'll be out soon."
