Boom-!!
By the time Xu Taiping came to his senses, Lin Buyu had suddenly swept toward him on a crane.
The white crane, condensed from lightning, plowed a passage forty to fifty zhang wide straight through the Wheat Field and the hundreds of demonic beasts hiding within it.
Kree...!
With a crane's cry, Lin Buyu descended beside Xu Taiping on the crane, her robes fluttering.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Xu Taiping could not help praising her:
"Splendid work, Junior Sister Buyu."
Lin Buyu smiled and said:
"I've wanted to show you for a long time."
At that moment, she was like a child showing off her new clothes.
For some reason, Xu Taiping felt an immense warmth of familiarity.
"Splendid work indeed!"
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly thundered down from the sky.
Rumble...
Immediately afterward, amid a violent trembling of heaven and earth, three figures radiating powerful auras swept in from the distant sky, bringing hundreds of dark silhouettes surging behind them.
In an instant, black fog roiled beneath the red sun.
Xu Taiping looked closely to confirm their identities, then sent a voice transmission to Lin Buyu, a weight lifting from his heart:
"It's them."
The arrivals were precisely the three Demon Emperors: Wuxin, Qing He, and Li Yezhu.
Along with the several hundred members of the Nine Abysses Elite Forces they commanded.
Almost simultaneously, scenes strikingly similar to this one unfolded in succession at the various Seal Lands.
Xu Taiping was not the only one the Nine Abysses intended to deal with this time.
Their targets were all the Heavenly Geniuses participating in this Chaotic Stars Assembly.
For a time, the Shangqing Cultivation World, which had originally only been watching Xu Taiping's situation, erupted into an uproar.
The Flame Court descended into utter chaos.
