Under Chen Siyu's command, the group struggled to fend off the tide-like attacks of the mechanical puppets while advancing towards the crystal in the center of the ruins. Chen Ruixuan took the lead, his Pretty Me Punch striking with powerful force, repelling the approaching puppets and clearing a path for everyone.
However, as they drew closer to the crystal, the puppets' assault intensified. As if receiving new orders, they began to ignore everyone else and focus their attacks on Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan. Suddenly, the two found themselves surrounded.
Chen Siyu's Five-Colored Ribbon weaved through the air, entangling several puppets with each swing. But there were simply too many; as soon as one group was freed, another swarmed in. Chen Ruixuan also felt immense pressure. Despite the impressive power of his Pretty Me Punch, prolonged high-intensity combat was beginning to drain his spiritual energy.
"Sister, this isn't working. We need to deal with these puppets quickly," Chen Ruixuan exclaimed, beads of sweat on his forehead.
Chen Siyu gritted her teeth, her eyes determined. "Brother, let's both go all out with our new martial arts. Maybe we can break through this predicament." They exchanged a look, understanding dawning between them.
Chen Siyu took a deep breath, channeling her spiritual energy to its limit before unleashing Dragon's Roar. This Dragon's Roar was more earth-shattering than ever before. Accompanied by her unique cry, a colossal dragon formed from five-colored spiritual energy materialized out of thin air, lunging with bared fangs and claws towards the surrounding puppets. Wherever the dragon passed, puppets were shattered by the immense spiritual energy, turning into heaps of scrap metal.
Chen Ruixuan also exerted his strength simultaneously, infusing Chaos Power into his Pretty Me Punch. He darted through the puppet horde, each punch carrying the might of Chaos. Upon impact, the puppets instantly disintegrated. Under their combined, powerful onslaught, the surrounding puppets were finally cleared.
The group seized the opportunity and rushed towards the crystal in the ruins' center. Chen Siyu timed her move perfectly, swinging her Five-Colored Ribbon. The ribbon transformed into a sharp blade, striking the crystal with fierce intent. With a crisp shattering sound, the crystal broke apart. The now uncontrolled mechanical puppets instantly ceased their attacks and collapsed to the ground.
"Phew, finally done," Chen Ruixuan sighed in relief.
However, before they could rest, words and images suddenly appeared on the ruins' walls, detailing the Conservative Alliance's various atrocities committed to prevent the spread of new cultivation philosophies. This included causing spiritual energy disturbances, spreading rumors, and orchestrating this very trap.
"So, this was deliberately left by the Conservative Alliance. They wanted us trapped here forever, but they never expected us to break the trap and expose their scheme instead," Chen Siyu sneered.
The group left the ruins with the evidence. Upon returning to the outside world, Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan immediately publicized the Conservative Alliance's plot. The Cultivators of the Primordial World, upon learning the truth, expressed their anger and condemnation towards the Conservative Alliance.
"The Conservative Alliance has gone too far! For their own selfish gain, they actually did something so despicable!"
"Exactly! We can't let them continue their reckless behavior!"
The Conservative Alliance had initially believed their trap would capture Chen Siyu and her companions in one fell swoop. Instead, it led to the complete exposure of their scheme. Under the pressure of public opinion, rifts began to appear within the Conservative Alliance. Some Conservative Faction forces, who had been misled, recognized the truth and defected from the Conservative Alliance.
But the core members of the Conservative Alliance had no intention of backing down. They lurked in the shadows, plotting more drastic acts of revenge to salvage the situation. Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan knew that the real crisis had not yet passed. They had to be fully prepared to face the Conservative Alliance's fiercer counterattacks. In this battle between justice and conservatism, how would they respond to the Conservative Alliance's subsequent mad actions and protect the peace and progress of the Primordial World?
