Chapter 351 Intrigue and Unity Against External Forces
——I have to go on a business trip today, so I stayed up late to finish the chapter tonight. Now I am updating both chapters together, and there is another chapter to come.
"So that's how it is. It turns out that you were eyeing Shi's golden bridge on the other side of the lake. Later, for the sake of big things, you just did a little investigation, and after confirming Shi's identity, you stopped and waited until today." Shi Xuan seemed a little dissatisfied, but he was calm in his heart. He wanted to see if he could take advantage of the conflict between Tianzha Tongzi and Weiyu Zunzun to find a chance to escape. Anyway, he had the Wu'an token, so he had no shortage of retreat.
With a retreat and an opportunity to wait, Shi Xuan temporarily put aside his plan to take risks and escape, and he had to wait until he was more confident before taking action.
Perhaps it was because the nearly one hundred years of planning finally came to fruition that Xiao Yingyu seemed to be in a very good mood: "When Yingyu felt the situation encountered by the child ghost through the mother ghost, they only had a golden bridge in their minds, fixing the surrounding spiritual energy, soul, space, time, etc. This surprised Yingyu very much. He originally planned to spend another hundred years planning the affairs of the small world after seizing the power of the empire, but now he can do it in advance. This is really a great thing!"
Shi Xuan did not ask him how he was sure of his identity. His mistake was that he did not expect that the scum boy was in Linyuan City. During the time from the underground lake back to Linyuan City, he could investigate a lot of things, not to mention that Xiao Yang was also a member of the Yuantai Sect. After multiple verifications, after confirming his suspicion, he could observe day after day.
So Shi Xuan just said lightly: "Shi was a little careless. I didn't expect that the leader of the Yuantai Sect, who was determined to achieve the empire, would hide in Linyuan City."
Xiao Yingyu sighed: "When Yingyu came out of the abyss, the first city he arrived at was Linyuan City. So when his body was corrupted by the Yin Qi and he was ready to take over another body, the first thing he thought of was Linyuan City. This place is remote, and it is very close to the abyss. Some secret things can be done there. It is really the best choice for hiding."
"Where did Venerable Wei Yu go? When do we set off?" Shi Xuan naturally agreed to it, but in his heart he was thinking that Xiao Yingyu was actually from the underground survivors. The rumors that year about colluding with ghosts were too false, but it was mostly true that someone practiced ghost skills and acted cruelly.
"Haha, Mr. Shi, you really know the situation, but the treasures left by the great celestial being are indeed something that people cannot help but be jealous of. It is reasonable for you to make such a choice. Yingyu has never worried that you, Mr. Shi, would not agree." Xiao Yingyu raised his head slightly, looking happy.
If you were really not worried, you would not have let those two micro-emu troops watch so closely, otherwise the Taoist master would have escaped long ago. What about the treasures left by the great celestial being? Who knows what dangers are in it, and there is nothing I want! Shi Xuan complained in his heart, but of course he smiled and responded during the communication of spiritual consciousness: "Since Shi has already agreed, Tian Zha Tongzi, you should ask Wei Yu Venerable to come out, and everyone should make plans to avoid any mistakes."
"No, the bet is not over yet. There are two chances in total. He used one, and I also reduced the number of people to twelve. Now you lose if you can't guess it." Xiao Yingyu's smile turned cold, "And Mr. Shi, you must remember your identity. You now have only two choices, life and death, and you are not qualified to plan anything."
Unexpectedly, Tian Zha Tongzi is so sensitive, Shi Xuan naturally kept silent and waited for Ao Tingtao to return. Once he appeared, he would use a thunderbolt.
Isn't the lesson of the four great dukes' mansions enough for seeking the skin of a tiger? Hearing the secret of the small world, he cooperated with the Yuantai Sect, but he couldn't blame others for setting a fish hook.
The twelve selected people waited quietly and fearfully, especially since the one standing in front was a child of seven or eight years old. The matter was so strange and terrifying that no one dared to speak. It was not until midnight when the Yang Qi receded and the Yin Qi rose that Xiao Yingyu, who was standing in front, spoke in a childish voice: "Everyone, please follow Yingyu to the building behind. Don't walk slowly, otherwise the Infinite Sunlight Sword will not show mercy."
At the same time, he said to Shi Xuan in his consciousness: "Mr. Shi, don't play any tricks. Your golden bridge is too dangerous. In order to limit its effect, Yingyu has carefully arranged the positions of the two corps. It would rather be farther away than get closer, and even let them integrate the formation diagram into their body. Haha, in the past thousand years, you are the most valued Yin God Venerable by Yingyu."
Shi Xuan's heart slowly sank a little, and he might have to change his plan. Since Xiao Yingyu was so afraid of his Tai Chi diagram, he must have been prepared, and the possibility of stopping him by surprise was very small.
Of course, Shi Xuan was not without a chance. At least Xiao Yingyu didn't know that Shi Xuan had three magic weapons. Although their power could not be fully exerted and was only similar to that of Tianzha Tongzi's life spirit weapon, they were also the key to victory at a critical moment. In addition, he hoped that Shi Xuan had a big grudge with Wei Wu Zun and did not tell him the power of the Tai Chi diagram. In that case, he would have a much better chance of facing Wei Wu Zun.
Under the close surveillance of the guard monks and two corps, Shi Xuan and the other eleven people came to the courtyard in the middle of the building. There was a dark hole here. There seemed to be endless restrictions running inside, emitting terrifying pressure.
"You all go in." Xiao Yingyu said calmly as if he was saying that you all should go home.
Several of the eleven people finally couldn't bear the pressure after seeing the black hole. Some shouted that they were wronged, some cried so hard that they couldn't speak, and some cried bitterly... For a moment, the scene became chaotic.
Just as Shi Xuan was looking for an opportunity to take advantage of, a green sword energy popped out from Xiao Yingyu's hand, directly turning the man who shouted that he was wronged into corpse water. This ruthless attack without asking for the reason shocked the others. Those who cried and wept bitterly were all silent, looking at the innocent child in fear. Even if the attack was a life, his face was full of innocence.
Knowing that there must be a corps on the opposite side waiting in a strict battle array, Shi Xuan judged the chance of escape now, 30%, still only 30%, this is based on the fact that the battle formation is not flexible and can only attack in a range when facing the Yinshen Venerable who is determined to escape. If they have the means to make the battle formation extremely flexible in a short period of time, then there is not even a 10% chance.
Or wait and see if there is a better opportunity later, such as Ao Tingtao not knowing the power of his Tai Chi diagram, such as the critical moment of breaking the restriction of the small world. In short, Shi Xuan once again held back his intention to attack, waiting for a better opportunity.
Stepping into the dark cave, Shi Xuan saw the familiar void without any discomfort, and the vast and boundless layers of restrictions slowly turned here.
On the left and right sides of Shi Xuan, there was a micro-emu army, and Ao Tingtao stood in the middle of one of the armies. He was performing a secret method to check every cultivator who came in. However, his cultivation was still a little worse, and he could not discover the secret of the magic weapon in Shi Xuan's Dantian and the four-fold suppression of the Tai Chi diagram.
Shi Xuan sighed quietly. The position of these two armies determined that he could not raid Ao Tingtao, and could only wait for the next opportunity.
After the twelve monks and the other two Wei-Emu Corps came in, Xiao Yingyu brought Xiao Yang and the black-robed man in. He smiled and said to Ao Tingtao: "Venerable Wei-Emu, have you figured out the clues?"
Ao Tingtao said with a straight face: "I only found two people who are fine, but I still have plenty of time before we reach the entrance." As if to reflect his words, he waved his hand and two golden flames popped out, falling on the two monks, burning them to ashes before they could even scream.
"Haha, if you burn the wrong person, you lose!" Xiao Yingyu said with a smile.
Ao Tingtao nodded: "Of course. Let's go. By the way, Tianzha Tongzi, since the Taoist friend's natal spiritual weapon is as powerful as you said, and can fix the spiritual energy, soul, space, etc., then you must remember not to be careless. I have the means of blessing from the Yuanshen Zhenren."
As he suddenly said this, his consciousness swept over Shi Xuan and others again, wanting to see who would have abnormal souls and bodies after hearing these words. It seems that this is his test to find Shi Xuan.
Of course, he also told Shi Xuan not to fight like a trapped beast. If he really wants to make a move, this side is not unprepared, so don't make that hopeless struggle. After all, if Shi Xuan really wants to make a move, he can't be careless. When the battle formation is fully launched, Shi Xuan will definitely die, and then the matter of the small world will be postponed for a hundred years. Therefore, showing strength first is to deter others, so as not to die on one side and not get any benefits on the other side.
Since the appearance of the Micro-Emu Corps, Shi Xuan has been controlling his state of mind, so he is still as calm as water at this time, without any fluctuations, but with a little sigh. Although the scum boy Xiao Yingyu and the Micro-Emu Venerable Ao Tingtao are scheming against each other, they are still quite consistent when facing him. Now it seems that his best chance is the moment when the ban is broken and changes occur. Of course, if the two want to kill him, that moment is also the best opportunity.
After all, Xu Qing Tianzun closed the small world, and the main power is concentrated on the closure. As long as you can get in, the ban will not be too strong and there will not be too much danger.
The other nine cultivators were already numb with fear at this time, so Ao Tingtao did not find anything unusual.
After hearing what Ao Tingtao said, Xiao Yingyu smiled and said, "Yingyu is naturally prepared. The Mother-Child Heavenly Ghost Array is not inferior to your Yuanshen-level means. Well, speaking of which, they are a little hungry." As soon as he finished speaking, a large and nine small Heavenly Ghosts like living people emerged from Xiao Yingyu's body, and then pounced on Xiao Yang and the black-robed monk beside him.
"Ah! Master, spare my life!" "Why? Why? Spare me!" Xiao Yang and the black-robed monk were eaten up with screams, and the ten Heavenly Ghosts flew back to Xiao Yingyu with satisfaction.
After doing all this, Xiao Yingyu came to the battle formation of the army on the left. Shi Xuan then noticed that among the four army groups, two only listened to Xiao Yingyu and did not even look at Ao Tingtao.
