At first glance, Heavenly Mystery Child's actions seem rather rash.

Upon closer reflection, Qin Yi realized that this was something he had been planning for a long time.

Minghe was distracted and didn't notice, but Qin Yi was watching the battle intently. He clearly saw that the monk fighting Zheng Yunyi suddenly experienced a momentary weakening and disorder in his aura, possibly due to the influence of some drug. It seemed that as the battle became more intense and his Law Power was rampant, he was more and more prone to going astray, and finally, it erupted.

Qin Yi could even guess how this was achieved. There were only a handful of people at the fourth level of the Cloud Ascension Realm who could break through to the sixth level. For a powerful figure like Huiyang who relied on divination, predicting who the opponent would send to fight was relatively easy. Moreover, Heavenly Mystery Child was not only a diviner, but he also possessed medical skills. Given a clear target, it was entirely possible for him to prepare medicine for the breakthrough in advance and tamper with it.

We don't need to go into the details of how it was done, but the point is that it was accomplished. All Zheng Yunyi needed to do was stall.

This both wore down the opponent and gave Heavenly Mystery Child time to secretly set up the Bagua Eight Trigrams Array outside the Cloud Platform.

We couldn't set up in advance because the enemy must have checked the surroundings when they arrived. We could only sneak out to set up when the battle was at its most intense. No wonder we couldn't see where Heavenly Mystery Child was, and no wonder this battle dragged on for so long.

Heavenly Mystery Child had clearly made many plans this month, such as going to find the enemies of Great Joy Temple.

The Great Joy Temple has countless enemies, yet it continues to thrive because it lacks a core figure to stand firm, especially one capable of holding off Qian Yuan. No matter how many enemies they have, they can only seek revenge when someone is alone, and even then, their whereabouts are uncertain. What good is that? Even after thousands of years, while their enemies are all dead, the Great Joy Temple is still alive and well.

And Heavenly Mystery Child gave them this opportunity.

He suddenly made a move and kidnapped the entire Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace. Even the palace master, who was hiding somewhere, had to participate. It was a carnival for the enemies of Great Joy Temple.

With Qian Yuan holding off the opponent, it was no longer in doubt that so many Huiyang of the same level would kill the two Huiyang.

This is another benefit of Heavenly Mystery Child's multi-pronged approach: forcing the Palace Master to come out and engage in a decisive battle with the opponent's Qian Yuan.

There's a possibility that both sides could suffer losses.

Qin Yi knew it was very likely.

The Palace Master is far away, and what is attacking this time is not the Palace Master's true body, but the Yang Spirit leaving the body and manifesting as the Crane Soul. If we use Qin Yi's usual way of speaking, Qian Yuan is also the Spirit Transformation. The human body has many limitations, but the spirit is limitless. The Palace Master is far away in an unknown place, and the one in the Great Joy Temple is also very far away. No matter how fast they are, it is not realistic for their true bodies to descend instantly, but the Yang Spirit can do it.

The soul travels thousands of miles, and what one sees is where one is.

But the Battle of Divine Souls is the most dangerous. The result of the clash between two Primordial Spirit may only appear to be an instant, but the souls may have been fighting for countless cycles. This is a battle situation that Qin Yi cannot understand at the moment. This is what Liusu said.

In Liusu's judgment, a lose-lose situation is the most likely outcome.

In Qin Yi's eyes, all he could see was the crane's soul rising again, the Buddhist Light reappearing, and them intertwining once more. On the surface, there might not have been the visual impact of a battle between the two, but an extremely terrifying power was leaking down, and the entire Cloud Platform was in danger of collapsing.

The aftershocks alone could have killed all the onlookers present, including all the disciples of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace!

The Palace Master was engaged in battle with a formidable opponent of the Qian Yuan realm and had no energy left to protect others.

Heavenly Mystery Child smiled slightly, but he wasn't worried about his side being completely annihilated by Qian Yuan. Because he had more than one Qian Yuan in mind.

Minghe is the darling of the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace. Celestial Pivot Divine Palace cannot sit idly by and watch her fall into such a dangerous place. They will definitely take action!

Just as Qin Yi was thinking about this, he saw the stars suddenly appear in the bright, clear sky.

The shape of the Big Dipper shone brightly in the sky, and starlight illuminated the area around the Cloud Platform. Neither the aftershocks of the battle between the celestial beings in front nor the battle between the celestial gods in the sky above could shake it in the slightest.

A Buddhist chant echoed from the sky, "Must the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace really get involved in this mess?"

A gentle female voice came from afar. "Master, please calm down. In your battle, please do not harm others."

"Pah!" The other person didn't say anything more.

His desire to wipe out everyone in this place is also a form of revenge. Celestial Pivot Divine Palace's attempt to stop him is tantamount to making an enemy of him.

Of course, he also knew that it was because Minghe was here, and Celestial Pivot Divine Palace did not think that he could let Minghe go alone, and would not leave him any possibility of being harmed.

This has already been calculated by Heavenly Mystery Child.

A group of ordinary disciples stood on the Cloud Platform, gazing into the distance at the battle between Huiyang and Primordial Spirit in the sky. They were all speechless.

Nobody expected things to turn out this way!

How did Tengyun and Qinxin's low-level life-or-death battle turn into the decisive battle of Qianyuan Huiyang?

Neither the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace nor the Great Joy Temple were prepared. Both sides were dragged into the fray by Heavenly Mystery Child, and were forced to reveal this true life-or-death struggle!

Despite the lengthy account, the confrontation actually ended very quickly.

In the Battle of Huiyang, nearly ten Huiyang warriors fought against two, and they even utilized a pre-arranged formation. Under such circumstances, there was truly no way for them to struggle. When the fireworks faded, all that remained were the corpses of the monks within the formation, and even Guan Hai's soul, which attempted to escape, was crushed by Heavenly Mystery Child.

None of the other hundred or so disciples of the Great Joy Temple who came to watch the battle survived. This one battle alone severely damaged the Great Joy Temple, and it never regained its former power.

Of course, if Qian Yuan were still alive, it would be easy for him to form a new Demon Sect. People turned to look, only to see the Buddhist Light and the crane's shadow both grunt and vanish in an instant.

Before the crane's shadow dissipated, it left behind a sentence: "Cheng Primordial Spirit has fled. He must find a place to cultivate in seclusion and will not be able to cause trouble for a hundred years."

Heavenly Mystery Child breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at everyone, saying, "Gentlemen, the Great Joy Temple still has two Chief Seat left, but they have already fled. Red Ridge Child and Celestial Pine Hermit are respectively keeping an eye on them, and their whereabouts are completely under my control. This is a golden opportunity to eliminate the Great Joy Temple once and for all, and you should not miss it."

A burly man with blood-red hair asked, "Could Cheng Yuan still be in the temple?"

"No," Heavenly Mystery Child laughed. "He knows the saying 'Where there's life, there's hope.' What's the point of stubbornly clinging to life in the temple? He should just hide away and lick his wounds."

"What about a hundred years from now..."

"A hundred years from now, it will still be a matter for my Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, and none of you will be found on me," Heavenly Mystery Child said calmly. "Of course, the things of the Great Joy Temple should belong to my Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace."

"Of course." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and several streaks of light disappeared into the sky along with Heavenly Mystery Child.

The sect leaders of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace also went, and even Ju Yunxiu went.

This is truly the time for the sect to unite against external threats and eliminate any potential threats at the outset; any internal issues can be addressed later.

The people left on the Cloud Platform looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling as if this turn of events was a dream.

In the blink of an eye, a powerful and influential demonic sect was about to be wiped out... while the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace was barely scratched.

Although it left behind hidden dangers, there was nothing that could be done about it. The nuclear deterrent power of Qian Yuan's energy was originally meant to be this; otherwise, it wouldn't have been the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace's turn to destroy them, they would have been wiped out by their enemies long ago.

Even Qin Yi found it unbelievable, because what Heavenly Mystery Child did was tens of thousands of times beyond the usual internal strife. He never imagined that the people of the Scheming Sect could be so ruthless and make such a grand scheme. A major demonic sect, comparable in size to his own Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, was actually wiped out by this scheme, so easily that it felt unreal, like child's play.

But this is not child's play; it's real.

This scheme brought in many of the Great Joy Temple's enemies, as well as the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace. Its scale was far greater than that of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace. In addition, it involved attacking the Great Joy Temple in a fragmented manner, and it also had the implication of besieging the point and attacking the reinforcements one by one. This made the fragmentation and gradual encroachment so easy.

Seizing the opportunity and planning well can make seemingly difficult things seem effortless, just as a lever can easily lift a seemingly unshakeable boulder by finding the perfect fulcrum.
