Chapter 1767: The Trap Left for the Heavenly Palace
The immortals under Qian Huan's command also fell into its hands.
He Lingchuan was also curious: "How did you catch it in the end?"
"We stopped hunting it first and let it roam free for thirty years, thinking that we had given up. Then the Immortal Master personally set up an illusion world, trapped it in it, and captured it in one fell swoop!" Xiao Wencheng said, "Back then, the Immortal Master's illusion world was far from being as difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion as it is today."
He Lingchuan asked casually: "By the way, where is the Immortal Lord?"
Qian Huan had just appeared in a Dharma image/illusion, and disappeared after explaining the route. He wouldn't go back to seclusion again, would he?
Dong Rui wanted to know more, where Qian Huan’s true body was?
"Master is in the middle of reality." Xiao Wencheng said seriously, "Miaozhantian and Tiangong are going to be in trouble."
The three-eyed crow was still perched on the roof, watching coldly as the surviving mortals in the city cried heartbrokenly. One could even describe it as being dumbfounded.
Dong Rui asked: "What is it waiting for?"
The behavior of this blood demon is indeed completely different from that of the immortals from the Illusion Sect.
"Prey." Xiao Wencheng said, "Let it go. It has its own way."
All the powerful men of the Illusion Sect died collectively, and True Man Qianhuan released the Blood Demon to supplement his own strength and use it to fight the enemy with strange means.
Seeing this, Dong Rui couldn't help but ask, "Hey, the Heavenly Palace is coming here, how are you going to deal with it?"
True Man Qianhuan did come out, but he did not mention how to deal with the Heavenly Palace and Miaozhantian specifically.
Is he the only one who is anxious at this scene?
"The Immortal Venerable said that it would be a pity not to use the previous arrangements." Xiao Wencheng said, "Bai Ziqi has discovered the connection between the Silver Pearl Fruit and Yaozi Lake, and he must have some ideas. Therefore, we still have to lead Miao Zhantian and the Heavenly Palace army to Yaozi Lake."
When did the Immortal Lord say that?
He Lingchuan's heart moved slightly. It seemed that Xiao Wencheng and Master Qianhuan also had a secret way of communicating with each other, which was not known to outsiders.
This is normal. There is a secret communication channel between Aunt Zhu, He Lingchuan and Dong Rui.
Qian Xiangxiang wanted to lure Miao Zhantian to Yaozi Lake, so of course he had some plans.
When Xiao Wencheng recalled the tone of the Immortal Venerable's words "previous arrangements", he felt a little sweat on his back.
The Immortal Lord knew about it, and knew that he originally wanted to lead the Heavenly Palace team into Yaozi Lake!
Is the Immortal Lord somewhat dissatisfied with his plan?
Alas, even though he has already reached the realm of immortals, he still cannot get rid of this fear and trepidation for the rest of his life. He smiled bitterly to himself, put aside these distracting thoughts, and turned to Elder Liu and said, "Junior Brother Liu, tell the disciples to retreat, and have Junior Brother Sutuo prepare the silver bead fruit."
The Heavenly Palace team continued to advance into Shilong Mountain, targeting these immortals. If they were desperate and jumped into Yaozi Lake, Miao Zhantian would probably follow them in, right?
At this moment, a few golden rays of light shone through the window lattice, illuminating the entire Wenhui Pavilion. The white marble pillars behind He Lingchuan even reflected tiny and mottled golden dots.
The sun rises.
This miserable and heavy night has passed, but the decisive battle between immortals and demons is far from over.
He Lingchuan's expression changed: "Auntie is back."
After receiving the information from the Eyeball Spider, he opened the door of Wenhui Pavilion himself. Sure enough, the Subterranean Spider Queen was already at the door, looking exhausted.
It had two wounds on its body, but they were not serious. Besides, after walking so far on the road, the ordinary injuries were slowly healing.
"It's really far from the Upside Down Lake to here..." The Haoyuan Golden Mirror was swallowed by the Divine Bone Necklace. The Illusion Sect and its guests lost the convenience of traveling to and from their destinations in an instant, and could only run there themselves. Aunt Zhu stretched out her eight long legs, "It's over. The Heavenly Palace has given up the battlefield by the lake and headed north."
The Huan Zong team was disorganized and did not pursue.
Having completed its mission, it quickly returned to Shilong Peak.
After he finished speaking, he saw He Lingchuan staring at him, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." In fact, in He Lingchuan's eyes, there was a faint golden thread on Aunt Zhu's body, extending all the way to the sky.
As soon as he saw it, he knew it looked familiar: God’s Gaze!
Coincidentally, Elder Liu also walked out of Wenhui Pavilion beside him.
As soon as Elder Liu came into contact with the sunlight, He Lingchuan saw a golden line on his body.
Yes, these two immortals were active on the battlefield, and Elder Liu even killed the Zhaoyou God. I don't know when the demons began to cast their divine gaze on them for tracking purposes.
That's easy. He Lingchuan's eyes flickered. Isn't this a ready-made fishing line?
Looking at Xiao Wencheng, there was no trace of this. He had been staying at Shilong Peak and had not been on the battlefield himself, so the demons could not see him.
Aunt Zhu and Elder Liu were still unaware of this. It was only with the help of He Lingchuan's magical power of the Dafang Pot and the coincidence of sunrise that they were able to discover it.
He suddenly thought of a key question: "By the way, after sunrise, will Yaozi Lake still be accessible?"
Otherwise, all these arrangements will be in vain.
"Yes, in fact, the moon has not disappeared yet, but the sky is too bright, so you and I can't see it." Xiao Wencheng replied, "Until the light of the silver bead fruit on the shore of Upside Down Lake fades away, Yaozi Lake is still passable, that is... within two hours after sunrise."
Dong Rui blew a long whistle: "Great! There is still a time limit! This time, Tiangong has to enter Yaozi Lake."
He Lingchuan was also slightly moved.
The old ones are still the wisest. Qian Huan Zhenren quietly left a big trap for Miao Zhantian and Tiangong. If He Lingchuan hadn't asked, Xiao Wencheng and others wouldn't have pointed it out.
According to the rules of the Upside-Down Sea, the Silver Pearl Fruit only glows on the fifteenth night of every month. Only at this time can the Silver Pearl Fruit be used to pass through Yaozi Lake. On the other hand, the two sides of the war only have two hours left to pass through.
No wonder Xiao Wencheng's original plan was to fight with his opponent to the death. It turned out that he had already made up his mind to jump into Yaozi Lake when the deadline was almost up.
Although this action would make their own future uncertain and their lives and deaths hard to predict, once the last deadline for the silver bead fruit to glow was over, the Tiangong team would have no way to leave the Upside-Down Sea.
At that time, Qian Huan had not yet come out of retreat, and the Immortal Huanzong only knew that once he jumped into Yaozi Lake, there would be no return, so this was considered a last resort and a choice at the last moment.
At that moment, Xiao Wencheng summoned all the disciples on the mountain and prepared to evacuate.
Aunt Zhu asked He Lingchuan: "What should we do?"
He Lingchuan looked at the golden thread on it and said, "Of course it followed Sect Leader Xiao."
The evacuation method for the disciples of the Huan Sect was also very convenient. They could just jump into the sand table in the Wenhui Pavilion and land at the location designated in advance by Xiao Wencheng, which was the shore of Yaozi Lake. There they would receive the silver bead fruit and jump into the lake.
The disciples of the Huan Sect at the foot of the mountain were no longer able to summon the Haoyuan Golden Mirror to travel instantly, so they could only move their legs and rush to the lake on their own.
Even if the Dafang Pot was willing to be generous and spit out the Haoyuan Golden Mirror back, it was no longer connected to the laws of the Upside-Down Sea and could not open the door to anything like before.
Dong Rui also discovered from the sand table that there were bird monsters hovering over Yaozi Lake, all of them were spies from the Heavenly Palace.
With Bai Ziqi's temper, he would definitely closely monitor the dynamics around Yaozi Lake. Therefore, the fact that a large number of Huanzong disciples rushed to the lake and took fruits into the water must have escaped his eyes and ears, and there was no need for the Huanzong elders to pretend to be righteous and deliberately lure them.
Xiao Wencheng suddenly pointed at the sand table and said, "Blood Demon."
The blood demon transformed into a three-eyed crow and flew to the shore of Yaozi Lake and finally took action.
A huge cloud floated over Yaozi Lake.
Dong Rui took a mirror and saw a pair of large wings flapping in the clouds.
"Vulture?"
This is a vulture, with dark brown feathers all over its body, but its neck is bald. The difference between it and ordinary vultures is that it is ridiculously large. He Lingchuan roughly estimated that its wingspan reached five meters.
It was similar to the small plane He Lingchuan had seen in another world.
Such a huge creature flying at low altitude was particularly oppressive. The disciples of the Huan Sect near the lake were shocked and silently quickened their pace to jump into the lake.
The crow perched on the treetop also retracted its third eye on its forehead, and at the same time, the red light in its eyes. There were too many deaths in the nearby villages and towns, which had attracted many crows to circle and land. The blood demon crow was not conspicuous at all among them.
All crows are black.
He Lingchuan pointed at the circling vulture and said, "This is the great demon from the northeast of the Shining Gold Plains, the famous 'Cave Infant King'. Many people say that it has the strength of a demon fairy. This guy hasn't appeared for hundreds of years, but once he showed up, he defected to Beiga."
He had intentions towards the Shining Gold Plain, and of course he had been collecting all kinds of intelligence on the plain. In addition to the distribution of various forces, the eastern and northeastern parts of Shining Gold were the territories of many big monsters and monster tribes. Even though He Lingchuan had never seen them, he was familiar with their information.
It's a good thing that those troublesome monsters of Shanjin appear here.
Please ask the Huan Sect to help destroy him and clear the way for future great undertakings.
Perhaps the blood demon heard his voice, and when the Cave Infant King flew away, the blood demon crow that had been perched on the treetop also flapped its wings and followed. But it did not fly into the sky, but flew close to the ground, following behind with ill intentions.
After scouting the ground conditions nearby, the vulture spotted a running wolverine south of Yaozi Lake, then landed in the woods in front of it, preparing for a sneak attack.
The wolverine had a tuft of golden hair on its head, which made it look a bit special. The vulture recognized it at a glance. This monster had killed several Tiangong soldiers in the lakeside battlefield before.
It is actually a disciple of Elder Xu. It can climb trees and swim well. It is known as the Flying Bear. It is proficient in wood escape and can even grant escape techniques to its companions around it, allowing them to follow it and appear and disappear mysteriously.
In the forest, such a character wanted to escape, and the enemy chased and intercepted him but couldn't catch up, and only captured a few disciples of the Illusion Sect. The big vulture saw it and of course didn't want to let it go.
Now the wolverine has grown bigger, holding a few silver bead fruit branches in its mouth, and is running towards Yaozi Lake with all its might.
The branches are full of fruits, which are still glowing.
The Cave Infant King was lying in ambush on the path the badger had to pass. Seeing the wild boar-sized badger running towards him, he leaned forward, retracted his neck, and prepared to attack.
However, while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, before it could dive, a black object hit it from behind, at a speed much faster than an arrow.
