An Unexpected Incident
Wu Xingyun had been planning this ever since he first heard about the Two Continents Passage.
Destroying the formation... Wu Xingyun didn't dare to do that.
If Wu Xingyun really did that, there would be no need to wait for the Demon Race to descend; all the major powers in the world would likely rise up and attack, directly annihilating the Demonic Sect.
Therefore, Wu Xingyun pointed the finger at Chu Xinghe.
If Chu Xinghe died inside the passage or at the hands of the Demon Race, it would be equivalent to eliminating a major threat to the Demonic Sect.
Look at the last two years... ever since Chu Xinghe was born, look what the Demonic Sect has become. Wu Xingyun is practically dreaming about killing Chu Xinghe.
But the Demonic Sect dared not make a move... After all, Chu Xinghe was backed by the entire Vast Heaven Sect. If they really killed Chu Xinghe, then the Demonic Sect Chu Xinghe surely have to pay with their lives.
Therefore, the only way to kill Chu Xinghe is to create an accident, an accident that no one can identify as being caused by the Demonic Sect.
Now, Wu Xingyun has finally gotten his chance.
Upon hearing Wu Xingyun's words, Yan Shoujing's face turned green.
"Your Demonic Emperor, your method isn't entirely unworkable, but you know I'm not the only one present; Zhang Zhi. If I actually make a move, they might not notice immediately, but given enough time, they'll eventually find out through subtle clues. Then I'm afraid I'll be doomed!"
"Old Yan... you should know what you've done, right? You don't think I, Wu Xingyun, am a soft-hearted person, do you? If you don't take action, I'm sure that after the great formation ends, everything you've done will be clearly handed over to Gu Mingchao. At that time, do you think Gu Mingchao will let you go?"
Wu Xingyun's words made Yan Shoujing tremble all over.
Yan Shoujing knew Wu Xingyun's methods all too well. As the Demonic Emperor, he had always been a ruthless person. If the dirt he had on himself were really exposed, not to mention Gu Mingchao, the people from other sects would definitely not let him go.
When Yan Shoujing first saw Wei Xin become Wei Buhui, he wondered if it was also possible for him, Yan Shoujing, to clear his name.
But Yan Shoujing knew that it was just wishful thinking on his part. The things he had done to help the Demonic Sect over the years, one by one, were enough to make him die countless times.
Countless righteous disciples were killed by the formations they themselves had set up... Countless powerful figures of the righteous path died under their own formations... Even many disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect were killed by Yan Shoujing.
Therefore, there's no turning back for him in Yan Shoujing.
"After this matter is over, you will have nothing to do with my Demonic Sect anymore. I will personally destroy everything related to you... You can choose to leave the Vast Heaven Sect, take Xiao Cui'er, and start anew."
After finishing speaking, Wu Xingyun patted Yan Shoujing on the shoulder and turned to leave.
There's no need to say much to Yan Shoujing... because Wu Xingyun knows that Yan Shoujing knows how to make choices.
Watching Wu Xingyun disappear into the darkness, Yan Shoujing slumped to the ground in despair.
Upon returning to the Demonic Sect's gathering point, Wu Xingyun saw Tantai Jing waiting for him.
"Lord Demonic Emperor..."
"I've already given instructions to Yan Shoujing."
Tantai Jing delighted and then said, "Your Demonic Emperor, please rest assured, I have already arranged for all the array masters of our Demonic Sect to be sent on their way once Yan Shoujing makes his move!"
"Won't there be any problems?"
"Your Demonic Emperor, please rest assured. Yan Shoujing is in charge of the formation this time, and we are doing everything according to Yan Shoujing instructions. Even if something goes wrong, it's Yan Shoujing's problem, what does it have to do with our Demonic Sect?"
Wu Xingyun and Tantai Jing exchanged a glance, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Tantai Jing had already written all the scripts in advance.
An unexpected incident occurred during the grand formation, and Chu Xinghe was sent into the passage. This was Wu Xingyun's idea, but Tantai Jing immediately raised objections.
Tantai Jing said, "Demonic Emperor, you've oversimplified things. You should know what Chu Xinghe represents to the Vast Heaven Sect. No matter what kind of accident happens, the Vast Heaven Sect will never consider it an accident. With the Vast Heaven Sect's terrifying power, if they really investigate recklessly..."
No matter how clean Yan Shoujing's act may seem, he will inevitably be exposed. Does the Demonic Emperor really think Yan Shoujing can withstand the wrath of the Demonic Sect?
When the Vast Heaven Sect finds out that it was our Demonic Sect Vast Heaven Sect killed Chu Xinghe, tell me, won't they fight us to the death?
Therefore, Tantai Jing made improvements to Wu Xingyun's original plan.
If it were just Chu Xinghe's accident, it certainly wouldn't seem like an accident. But if we had Chu Xinghe's accident, and at the same time, we created a secondary accident where Yan Shoujing tried to save Chu Xinghe but ended up being sent to his death along with him... wouldn't this accident seem more realistic?
Chu Xinghe encountered an accident inside the great formation, Yan Shoujing also suffered an accident while trying to save Chu Xinghe... So even the Vast Heaven Sect couldn't possibly suspect that Yan Shoujing was involved in anything wrong, right?
Therefore, Yan Shoujing must die along with Chu Xinghe. Only when Yan Shoujing dies will the accident truly become an accident.
Tantai Jing and Wu Xingyun exchanged a smile.
Amidst the intensive preparations, and thanks to the efforts of countless array masters, all preparations for the Ten Directions Great Formation were finally completed.
On this day, the entire coastline and surface of the Sea of Deep Silence were sealed off by the combined forces of all the major powers in the world. No one, no matter who they were, could possibly get close to the Sea of Deep Silence.
Meanwhile, on the coastline of the Sea of Deep Silence, powerful figures from all over the world gathered, and the Ten Directions Great Formation, which had sealed off the Two Continents Passage, was to be fully activated today.
Countless array masters were responsible for driving the grand array, and countless powerful individuals were responsible for infusing the array with Spirit Power.
Chu Xinghe stood at the very center of the Ten Directions Great Formation, the position closest to the Two Continents Passage, and was ready.
With Yan Shoujing's command, the Ten Directions Great Formation Array was fully activated, and the bright array light shot straight into the sky in an instant, with one grand array after another taking shape.
The Ten Directions Great Formation is composed of ten ancient Magic Arrays. The moment the ten arrays were formed, the entire world seemed to be suppressed by them.
Chu Xinghe, who was at the center of the Ten Directions Great Formation, was now following the method taught by the deputy sect master Yan Shoujing to continuously converge the ten ancient arrays of the Ten Directions Great Formation Grand Array towards the direction of the Two Continents Passage. In an instant, the Ten Directions Great Formation began to merge.
Although Chu Xinghe the innate power of Innate Formation Mastery, he dared not be careless at this moment, concentrating intently on manipulating each array formation.
The grand formations began to slowly merge, with the Ten Directions Great Formations intersecting. As the formations converged, the entire Two Continents Passage began to tremble violently.
The Two Continents Passage seemed to be affected by the great formation, beginning to shrink under its pressure and constantly receding before everyone's eyes...
The Two Continents Passage was about to be closed.
"Yan Shoujing! What are you doing! You still won't let Xinghe evacuate? Do you want Xinghe to be sucked into the Two Continents Passage?!"
Seeing that Yan Shoujing remained silent, Zhang Zhi grew anxious. He should have arranged for Xinghe to evacuate earlier; why was Yan Shoujing so quiet?
Perhaps Zhang Zhi's words had an effect, for Yan Shoujing slowly spoke, "Xinghe... let's prepare to withdraw..."
Hearing Yan Shoujing's words, Chu Xinghe didn't say anything more and turned around to leave his position at the center of the formation. But just as Chu Xinghe turned around, a sudden change occurred!
A terrifying suction force suddenly arose between the Two Continents Passage, so powerful that Chu Xinghe was completely unable to move and could only be pulled into the Two Continents Passage.
"Quick, save him!" Yan Shoujing shouted as he pretended to be rescuing someone, frantically rushing towards Chu Xinghe's location.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi and the others quickly blocked the power of the formation, trying to create an opportunity for Yan Shoujing to rescue Xinghe.
Just as everyone was doing their best to create a space for Yan Shoujing people, Yan Shoujing suddenly shuddered. The next moment, Yan Shoujing seemed to be controlled by the power of the Two Continents Passage. Yan Shoujing's face was full of disbelief.
Just as Yan Shoujing's expression was almost out of control, the immense suction force of the Two Continents Passage pulled Yan Shoujing and Chu Xinghe into the passage together!
"Xinghe!"
The sudden accident caused the situation to spiral out of control instantly.
At this moment, Gu Mingchao no time to Watch Quietly as Things Change. A huge Dharma body appeared in the air behind him. The instant the Dharma body appeared, Gu Mingchao unleashed his full Martial God power and arrived at the Two Continents Passage. However, just as Gu Mingchao was about to enter the Two Continents Passage to rescue people, the Ten Directions Great Formation finally completed its final fusion. In an instant, the Ten Directions Great Formation sealed off the Two Continents Passage and blocked Gu Mingchao's path forward.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Mingchao's Dharma body trembled behind him, transforming into an Eight-Armed Demon God. The eight arms of the Eight-Armed Demon God, carrying world-destroying power, directly blasted towards the Ten Directions Great Formation.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the Ten Directions Great Formation trembled violently under Gu Mingchao's Martial God power.
Gu Mingchao frantically gathered his power to bombard the Ten Directions Great Formation, attempting to destroy this Ten Directions Great Formation that was intended to seal off the Two Continents Passage.
"Gu Mingchao... have you gone mad! You destroyed the great formation today, and all our efforts have been in vain...!"
Ling Su flew forward to try and persuade Gu Mingchao, but before Ling Su could finish speaking, he was blasted thousands of meters away by the Eight-Armed Demon God on Gu Mingchao's body and crashed onto the surface of the Sea of Deep Silence in the distance!
At this moment, Gu Mingchao's eyes were bloodshot!
His gaze swept across the entire room!
Those who stand in my way shall die!
The might of the Martial God shook the heavens and earth. No one doubted Gu Mingchao's words. At this moment, anyone who dared to step forward would surely be killed by Gu Mingchao.
"I, Gu Mingchao, don't care about Demon Races or Demon Race... If Xinghe doesn't return today, the Two Continents Passage must not be closed!"
Gu Mingchao's body shone with divine light, and his immense power slammed into the Ten Directions Great Formation!
As Gu Mingchao unleashed his furious barrage, the Ten Directions Great Formation of collapse...
