Chapter 1265: Lure the snake out of its hole
After the array plates fell with a golden light, Yunxi made a hand seal and used her immortal energy as a guide to activate the array plates and connect all the array plates at the same time. The formation of the "Heavenly Dipper Big Dipper Exorcising Evil Array" was basically set up.
Wu Shen Buddha stared at Yun Xi, who was setting up the formation, and clasped his hands together, chanting a Buddhist prayer:
"Amitabha! As expected of Immortal Lord Ranxi, the improved Demon-Slaying Array is even more powerful than before, and the number of people required to control the array is also reduced."
Hua Wu's eyes flickered as she said:
"It seems that the Yuwen He that the two fairies are trying to capture is an evil immortal."
Cuiying echoed:
"Of course, otherwise there would be no need for such trouble."
Yu Xingchi looked at Ranxi setting up the formation, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He felt that things might not be as simple as he thought. For Immortal Lord Ranxi to set up a trap so carefully, it seemed that Yuwen He was someone of great importance.
A day later, Yunxi completed the setup of the "Heavenly Dipper Big Dipper Demon Extermination Formation" and assigned array plates to everyone to guard. Yunxi then parted her lips and uttered the word "Hidden," and the fluctuations of the formation completely disappeared.
Yunxi spent another day cleaning up the mess, making sure that the fluctuations of the array plate drawing immortal energy had dissipated and would not be detected by Yuwen He. Only then did Yunxi unlock the seal containing the fragments of the evil artifact, allowing the fragments' aura to dissipate from her storage ring.
The four members of Yuxingchi also sensed that special aura, which made them even more certain that Yunxi was trying to capture a high-level evil immortal in disguise.
Lying in the center of the altar, Yuwen He seemed to sense something and twitched his body. His eyelids trembled slightly, and then he suddenly opened his eyes, but his eyes were completely black. After a moment, he stiffly sat up, his lips twitching several times before revealing a chilling smile.
Yunxi and her group of six had been camped in the hills for three days, but had not yet seen Yuwen He. Di Fei was getting impatient.
"Ranxi, do you think he will come?"
"Yes, it will seize this rare opportunity to unite. It just doesn't know whether Yuwen He is dead or alive."
After thinking for a moment, Di Fei said:
"There's an 80% chance they'll become puppets."
Just then, the "Heaven and Earth Contract" in Yunxi's storage ring flickered, and she smiled, pursing her lips:
"He's here."
Sure enough, a moment later Yuwen He appeared within everyone's spiritual sense range, and he was directly teleported there. He looked somewhat disheveled, with bloodstains on his exposed skin, and even his immortal robe was dull and lost its protective function.
Yunxi and Difei exchanged a glance, and Difei exclaimed in feigned surprise:
"Brother Yuwen, why do you look so disheveled? What happened?"
Yuwen He looked at Di Fei, seemingly to confirm that she was a familiar companion, before relaxing his guard, collapsing to the ground, and fainting.
A glint of malice flashed in Yun Xi's eyes as her gaze swept over the unconscious Yuwen He. She was horrified, but still cooperated, saying:
"Bai Mei, take Brother Yuwen to the Dharma Room to heal his wounds first. He seems to have been attacked, and he looks quite badly injured."
"it is good."
With a worried expression, Bai Mei drew out a strand of soul power, guiding the unconscious Yuwen He into the magic room. After settling him in the bedroom, she turned to Yun Xi and said:
"Qianjiao, Brother Yuwen is seriously injured. Can he still fulfill his promise to us?"
Yunxi sighed and said:
"Let's wait until he wakes up and ask him. If he helps us find the Soul Artifact while he's seriously injured, we have no chance of winning. There's no point in forcing him to keep an agreement that can't be fulfilled." "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Yunxi flipped her hand and took out a pill bottle, poured out a pill and put it into Yuwen He's mouth, indicating to Difei to help him absorb the medicinal properties of the pill. After confirming that Yuwen He's breathing was stable, the two left the bedroom.
After the two left, Yuwen He opened his eyes. His completely black eyes were empty and lifeless. After a moment, he slowly closed them.
After Yunxi and Difei returned to the council hall, Yuxingchi asked:
"Two fairies, was that Yuwen He, the one you made an appointment with, just now?"
He was trying to determine if this was the person he was looking for.
Di Fei nodded, looking regretful, and said:
"It's him, but judging from his condition, he doesn't seem able to keep his promise."
Wu Shen put his hands together and said:
“Amitabha! This old monk has discovered that there is evil energy emanating from the wounds on his body. It seems that he has been attacked by an evil immortal.”
Yunxi's eyes flashed as she replied:
“Buddha Wushen was not mistaken. I also sensed the evil energy emanating from his wound just now. However, it is not convenient to ask him now. Di Fei gave him a pill just now. We can only wait until he wakes up to discuss the rest.”
Yu Xingchi nodded in agreement. The six people present understood without saying a word; the person they were trying to capture had already fallen into the trap, and all that was left was to wait for the best opportunity to make their move.
As night fell, all four members of the Yu Xingchi group returned to their rooms, leaving only Yun Xi and Di Fei to stay together.
After the restriction was lifted, Yunxi took out a chessboard and played chess with Difei while discussing their upcoming itinerary. On the surface, they were discussing how they would team up with the four members of Yuxingchi after Yuwenhe failed to fulfill his promise. However, Yunxi secretly told Difei via telepathy:
"This time, I actually hope your guess is wrong."
Di Fei raised an eyebrow and said:
"What does this mean? Has Yuwen He really obtained the weapon of the evil god?"
“It’s even worse than that. The Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade has devoured Yuwen He’s consciousness and merged with him. Now Yuwen He is the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade, and the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade is Yuwen He.”
Di Fei paused, seemingly hesitating about where to place the chess piece, but instead asked telepathically:
"Ranxi, do you mean that the divine artifact is now actively seeking us out in the form of Yuwen He, all for the fragment in your possession? If the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade is completed, it might leave the Langhuan Secret Realm in the identity of Yuwen He?"
"That must be its plan, otherwise why would it be disguised as Yuwen He? Although it is an evil artifact, it is also a divine artifact, and there will always be someone willing to take the risk."
"So what do we do next? Seal it back in the Langhuan Secret Realm? But it has now broken free of its shackles and will certainly not obediently be sealed away by us again. The creatures in the secret realm will suffer next."
After Di Fei placed her chess piece, Yun Xi hesitated, holding the piece in her hand. She had the same concerns. The key was how to break the deadlock; otherwise, not only would she and Di Fei be unable to escape, but all the immortals who entered the secret realm would likely suffer.
She could only reply:
"Let me think of a way. If we can kill or suppress the spirit of the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade in the secret realm, it's not impossible to bring its main body out of the secret realm."
Difei's eyes flickered, and she began to consider this possibility as well:
"Activating the 'Heavenly Dipper and Northern Dipper Demon-Slaying Formation' should be able to deplete the power of the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade, but it can only suppress it, not destroy its spirit, unless it is severely injured."
The Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade is incomplete now, so there's still room for maneuver, but only a divine artifact can severely damage a divine artifact, and unfortunately, neither of us has one.
However, the five Immortal Emperors should possess one, but the problem returns to square one: once the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade leaves the Langhuan Secret Realm, it will be difficult for us to contain it with our combined strength.
"There's still time, let me think about it some more."
Yunxi finally placed a piece, but her brows were furrowed. Her Seven Star Deadly Staff was a divine weapon, but she knew very well that with her current strength, she could not unleash its full power. So she could only seek help from outside.
My darlings, Fengling is going to have dinner and pick up a package. I'll try to write another chapter before 10 PM, please wait a moment~ (′‵) I L
