Diviner: Oh, damn, so this kind of matchup exists too

An aura of [Error] permeated the air, enveloping Lin Yu's entire soul.

Then...

This [Item], specially crafted to stop "Authority," once again dutifully fulfilled its intended purpose— the Soul Fragment "Diviner's " soul within Lin Yu's soul, entangled with some unknown, unformed Authority, was enveloped by the power of [Error] and then completely "popped out."

"Whoosh!"

A faint white light emanated from Lin Yu's body, and the forced Soul Fragment and the unformed Authority naturally flew towards the Diviner.

The method the Diviner himself initiated, which involved using "Unformed Authority" to cover up consciousness, was actually not something he could really handle!

So, as the Soul Fragment flew towards him, the Diviner forcibly activated the box behind him to close, and his soul surged for a moment.

Although the Diviner had just neutralized the killing move Lin Yu had set up using the God of Desire, his attempt to erase Lin Yu's consciousness was also neutralized by Lin Yu.

Furthermore, it caused Backlash against him, nearly resulting in serious injury!

"Is this all you've got, 'Diviner'? Trying to use 'Authority' against me? You're being far too naive!"

Lin Yu spoke loudly, and the "Diviner," looking at the provocative Lin Yu, slowly said, "The 'Player's' [Item] is actually in your hands; it was indeed my oversight..."

"However, it doesn't matter. My original intention was simply to prevent you from disturbing me—ideally, I'd make you an Empty Shell without consciousness, but if that's not possible... it's not a loss for me."

While you were busy protecting yourself, you seemed to have overlooked the fact that I've already achieved my goal.

The Diviner spoke in a low voice, Qin Siyu behind Lin Yu let out a scream.

"S--senpai!"

Although the screams initially erupted behind Lin Yu, they quickly shifted to a distance in front of him!

When Lin Yu turned around, he noticed that there was now an opening where Qin Siyu had been hiding.

That is...

The gap created by the Earth Vein.

While fighting Lin Yu, the Diviner had already manipulated the power of the Earth Vein to quietly lock onto Qin Siyu.

Then...

In that instant, the power of the Earth Vein was activated, and with the help of the Formation, Qin Siyu was teleported short distance away!

The Diviner never forgot that his primary target was always Qin Siyu.

At this moment, Qin Siyu had once again arrived at the center of the Sixteen Stone Steles.

The stone tablet was badly damaged, and the Dao Ancestor's Formation had disappeared.

Qin Siyu stood amidst the overwhelming demonic energy, trembling slightly.

Seeing Qin Siyu's appearance, Lin Yu immediately took out the [Counterfeit] transformed into a [Guest Appearance Invitation] and turned on the Clapperboard.

Brother Jian!

"Using a [Guest Appearance Invitation] to save Brother Cunyi's travel time? Good idea, but too late... I won't let you succeed."

The Diviner looked at Lin Yu and gently shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Compass started spinning again, and Lin Yu felt his movements become very heavy and sluggish—even a simple action like striking the Clapperboard seemed to take more than ten seconds to complete.

But...

Lin Yu looked at the Diviner, but then raised his head.

No... it's not too late.

"I didn't intend to invite Brother Jian here via a [Guest Appearance Invitation]."

As Lin Yu was speaking, the Diviner suddenly sensed... a certain Formation suddenly taking shape.

No, it's not formed.

It's a recovery.

The Formation he had just destroyed to prevent Jian Cunyi using has suddenly reappeared.

The reason for its formation...

It was Little Octopus standing atop that Formation.

Hannah.

She naturally didn't understand any Formation... but Hannah knew how to press the buttons.

The Pink Octopus's tentacles are holding a brand new pocket watch.

The evolved [Reversal Pocket Watch] reversed and Reversal the time of the Formation, turning it into a complete or even activated state.

And the Jian Cunyi...

He stood on the other side of the Formation.

"Brother Lin... you actually found a way to reopen the Formation? I thought you were joking."

Jian Cunyi spoke, he picked up his longsword and stepped across the passage opened by the Formation.

The Pure Qi emanating from him due to his "Ascending to Immortality to immortality" completely dispelled the room that had been almost entirely covered by demonic energy. At the same time, the righteous aspect of the Heavenly Dao that he represented also suppressed much of the Evil of Heaven and Earth.

"Daoist Master Xingyi!"

Qin Siyu exclaimed joyfully. Jian Cunyi out and rolled up his sleeve to protect the little girl and the unconscious Master Wei Jian in the corner behind him.

"Leng Jing... you beast, this isn't over between us yet."

The Diviner looked at Jian Cunyi, who had reappeared, still covered in wounds but with an even stronger fighting spirit than before, and sighed slightly.

"As expected... if the Prison Mountain Realm wants to achieve its goal this time, it will have to fight this tough battle."

"However, Brother Cunyi, I still hope we won't go to war... This is for your own good."

"Because I will soon have help here—although you may be able to hold me off, what about the three Demon Lords and the 'Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord' who received personal instruction from the Demon Ancestor?"

"The 'Director' over there should have already experienced the methods of the Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord during our battle with the Duxuan Sect... So, 'Director,' are you sure you don't want to advise Brother Cunyi?"

"Believe me, although I intend to release the Demon Ancestor, I am not plotting anything evil."

The Diviner said earnestly.

"I really don't want to fight to the death with the two of you here... If I lose control and accidentally kill either of you, that's not what I want to see."

Jian Cunyi responded to the Diviner with a slowly raised longsword.

Lin Yu then responded.

"That's not necessary... because it doesn't matter if you add Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord, you're not the only one with help."

"Although I didn't intend to call Brother Jian a 'Guest Appearance Invitation,'... I didn't bring him out just as a decoration to scare people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Clapperboard in Lin Yu's hand clicked.

Then, Lin Yu immediately sent a communication request to the consciousness that had been connected to him.

"Master, someone is trying to break the seal and release the Demon Ancestor! I beg you to help me and save the people of the Two Mountains and Six Hells!"

"Whatever you need, Master, I will repay you with all my might!"

Lin Yu spoke sincerely in his heart.

A reply came immediately from the other end.

"Saving humanity requires no reward!"

"If you're willing, slay ten demons for me, and that will be my 'reward'!"

That powerful voice not only resonated in Lin Yu's soul, but also echoed throughout the underground space.

The next moment...

A man with Black Long Hair, wearing Linen Trousers and shirtless, revealing well-defined muscles, appeared behind Lin Yu.

His gaze was like lightning, his breath like mist, and his heavy heart pounded like thunder.

The newcomer jumped around and stretched, his joints cracking and popping like firecrackers during Chinese New Year.

Then...

His veins bulged, his blood and qi surged, like a sun high in the sky, vast and scorching.

"Tell me, which bastard wants to release the Demon Ancestor?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately pointed to the Diviner: "Master, it's him."

The person invited for this "Guest Appearance Invitation" is none other than Yun Jushi, Yun Fengyang, who bestowed upon Lin Yu the power of Mind Imprint and transmission of skills deep within the central area of Eternal Prison.

"No need to call me Master. I'm not really your master yet, at most half. Just call me Yun Jushi," Yun Fengyang raised his hand. "That doesn't make me my disciple either... But rest assured, I know about your request, and I will do my best."

As he spoke, Yun Fengyang looked at Jian Cunyi, who was wearing a Daoist robe beside him.

"And who are you?"

Jian Cunyi his hands in greeting. "My Xingyi name is Xingyi, and I received the inheritance of the Duxuan Sect... I am a fellow Daoist and friend of this Brother Lin."

Yun Fengyang nodded. "Your strength is not bad, and you also have the blessing of the Heavenly Dao. It seems that my old buddies and friends have also recognized you. That's good, then you are definitely trustworthy. I believe in them... If we join forces, this bastard who wants to release the Demon Ancestor should not be a match for us."

As he spoke, Yun Fengyang looked at the Diviner, his entire Qi Mechanism locking onto him.

"This Dao Ancestor's Heaven-Sealing Barrier has a downside... Many of the Fang Techniques I used to be good at are no longer effective, and with time running out, I don't have time to try them all one by one... So, let's stick to Martial Arts."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Fengyang's already terrifying blood and qi surged again. With his blood and qi surging, even True Essence burst forth from his Meridians and spread outwards!

His exposed skin turned crimson, and his bones cracked and popped all over his body as his size increased dramatically.

Looking at Yun Fengyang's appearance and the way his fist gradually clenched as he pulled his fingers back, the Diviner's expression was clearly not good.

"Ah... really, Brother Cunyi thing, but there's also the martial arts faction... ha, ha... this Prison Mountain Realm is really..."

The Diviner gave a wry smile, clearly recalling some unpleasant Memory.

He looked at Lin Yu and said, "I thought you were joking when you said you obtained Yun Fengyang's inheritance... It turns out you really did see him deep within the Eternal Prison."

"Tsk, it seems you're quite capable. Being able to bring him here using a [Guest Appearance Invitation] shows you've not only won over this Layman Yun Fengyang, but also that God of Fairness and Judgment."

Diviner spoke, Lin Yu did not respond, but simply bowed to the Yun Jushi once more.

"Master, this man is very cunning, wicked, treacherous, and full of tricks. Please be careful, lest he plot against you or... let him escape in the chaos!"

"If he leaves here alive today, it will likely cause immeasurable harm to the Prison Mountain Realm!"
