Under Chen Siyu's command, everyone struggled to fend off the tide-like attacks of the mechanical puppets while drawing closer to the crystal at the center of the ruins. Chen Ruixuan charged at the forefront, his Pretty Me Punches roaring with force as he knocked back the approaching puppets and carved out a path for the group.
However, as they gradually neared the crystal, the puppets' offensive grew increasingly fierce. As if they had received some command, they abandoned the others and concentrated their attacks on Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan. In an instant, the two were surrounded on all sides.
The Five-Colored Ribbon in Chen Siyu's hand flew up and down. Each sweep ensnared several puppets, but there were simply too many of them—no sooner had one batch broken free than another closed in. Chen Ruixuan also felt immense pressure. Though his Pretty Me Punch was formidable, the prolonged high-intensity battle was beginning to drain his spiritual power.
"Sis, this can't go on. We need to deal with these puppets quickly," Chen Ruixuan shouted, his forehead covered in sweat.
Chen Siyu gritted her teeth, her gaze resolute. "Little brother, let's use our full strength and unleash our new martial arts together. We might be able to break through this predicament." The two exchanged a glance and understood each other perfectly.
Chen Siyu took a deep breath and pushed the spiritual power within her to its limit, unleashing Dragon's Roar. This Dragon's Roar was even more astonishing than before. Accompanied by her distinctive roar, a giant dragon condensed from five-colored spiritual power appeared out of thin air and charged at the surrounding puppets with fangs bared and claws raised. Wherever the dragon passed, the puppets were shattered by the overwhelming spiritual power and reduced to heaps of scrap metal.
Chen Ruixuan struck at the same time, infusing Chaos Power into his Pretty Me Punch. He darted swiftly through the swarm of puppets, every punch carrying the power of chaos. The puppets instantly fell apart upon being struck. Under their fierce combined assault, the surrounding puppets were finally cleared away.
Taking the opportunity, everyone rushed toward the crystal at the center of the ruins. Chen Siyu seized the moment and swung the Five-Colored Ribbon, which transformed into a sharp blade and slashed viciously at the crystal. With a crisp cracking sound, the crystal shattered. Having lost control, the mechanical puppets instantly ceased their attacks and collapsed to the ground.
"Whew, it's finally over," Chen Ruixuan said, letting out a sigh of relief.
However, before they could rest, words and images suddenly appeared on the walls of the ruins. They meticulously recorded the many evil acts the Conservative Alliance had committed to prevent the spread of new cultivation ideals, including causing spiritual power disturbances, spreading rumors, and the entire process of setting this trap.
"So the Conservative Alliance deliberately left this behind. They wanted us trapped here until we died, but they never expected us to break the trap and expose their conspiracy instead." Chen Siyu gave a cold laugh.
Everyone left the ruins with this evidence. After returning to the outside world, Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan immediately made the Conservative Alliance's conspiracy public. Once the cultivators of the Primordial World learned the truth, they all expressed fury and condemnation toward the Conservative Alliance.
"The Conservative Alliance has gone too far! For their own selfish interests, they actually resorted to something so despicable!"
"That's right! We can't let them continue running amok!"
The Conservative Alliance had originally believed the trap would wipe out Chen Siyu and the others in one stroke. Instead, it completely exposed their scheme. Under the pressure of public opinion, divisions began to emerge within the Conservative Alliance. Some Conservative Faction forces that had originally been deceived saw the truth and left the Conservative Alliance one after another.
But the core members of the Conservative Alliance had no intention of letting the matter end there. Hidden in the shadows, they plotted an even more frenzied act of revenge, hoping to salvage the situation. Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan knew that the true crisis had yet to pass. They had to make thorough preparations to face the Conservative Alliance's even fiercer counterattack. In this contest between justice and conservatism, how would they confront the Conservative Alliance's next mad move and protect the peace and progress of the Primordial World?
