On the long street of Yin City, the Xuanji walnut suspended in mid-air was lifeless, and the originally flowing golden pattern was completely dimmed, like a dead thing that had lost its life.
The two groups of humans and monsters lined up on both sides of the long street, staring at the motionless walnut. The surroundings were dead silent, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Langya's face was ashen, and veins popped out on the back of his hand holding the sword, obviously trying his best to suppress his anger.
Mo Yan frowned, Yun Zhan and Lu Qing next to him also had serious faces, and everyone in Tianxuan Pavilion had even sad faces, helpless against the unresponsive Walnut.
"You human race are really despicable and shameless!" Ba Shan, who was behind Langya, finally couldn't hold back anymore and pointed at the opposite side and yelled, "You deliberately made such a broken walnut. I think you just want to set up a trap to harm our king!"
Mo Yan frowned and looked over, and said in a deep voice to comfort, "The three heads of the human race are also trapped in it. If it is really a trap set by us, how can we get our own heads into it? There must be something fishy about this matter, please calm down!"
"Calm down!" Ba Shan roared angrily, his eyes widening in anger, "Who knows if you are plotting against our own people? You are a bunch of cowardly cowards who can't be beaten head-on, so they can only do these dirty tricks!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the human race looked ugly, and Lu Qing's face darkened even more, and he shouted angrily, "Beast! How dare you spit on someone!"
Ba Shan did not give in, glared at him fiercely and taunted. "It's you I'm scolding! I think you're the one who did it! My son was deposed by our king last time, so he wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge!"
These words touched Lu Qing's pain, his face darkened, he glared at Ba Shan fiercely, raised his hand and pointed it like a sword, and a fierce sword energy went straight to Ba Shan's front door.
Ba Shan roared wildly, without dodge or dodge, his chest suddenly bulged, and he let out a long and earth-shaking roar. The violent sound waves spread out, shattering the sword energy to pieces. The power of the sound wave did not diminish, causing the energy and blood of the surrounding human disciples with lower cultivation levels to surge, and they covered their ears in pain.
Lu Qing looked sharp and drew out his sword directly, as if he was ready to take action. Seeing this, the disciples of the Divine Sword Mountain behind him followed suit and drew their swords. For a moment, the cold light was cold and the swords were tense.
Naturally, the demon clan was not to be outdone. Yin Yu flipped his hands, and two daggers quenched with cold light slid into his palms. The demon soldiers behind him let out a low roar, stretched out their sharp claws, and a strong demonic aura instantly filled the air.
"Everyone, don't be impulsive!" Mo Yan stepped in front of the two armies and shouted loudly.
But both sides were aroused and were glaring at each other angrily. No one paid any attention to Mo Yan.
Mo Yan turned to look at Lang Ya and spoke quickly, "General, the matter has not been found out yet. The top priority now is to find a way to open the walnuts to save people! If we start a war at this time, we will only waste the opportunity for rescue and play into the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Langya's gray wolf eyes were gloomy and fierce, staring at Mo Yan. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "If there is even the slightest mistake between the two of them, no one from your Immortal Alliance will be able to leave Yin City alive today!"
"Like you, I never want anything to happen to them!" Mo Yan replied firmly.
Langya stared at him coldly and said nothing.
Mo Yan turned around and looked at Lu Qing, telling him to put away his sword with his eyes, but Lu Qing still stared at the demon clan opposite him with a cold expression, but the hand holding the sword did not move at all.
Yun Zhan on the side frowned slightly, took a step forward, and said with a cold voice that was particularly cold in the commotion, "Disciples of Shenjian Mountain listen to the order and put away the sword."
As soon as these words came out, the disciples of Shenjian Mountain behind him looked at each other, and then sheathed their swords in unison. Lu Qing turned to look at Yun Zhan displeased, but Yun Zhan looked indifferent and ignored his gaze.
Seeing the human race retreating, Langya snorted coldly and raised his hand behind him.
Although the demon clan soldiers were unwilling to do so, they still put away their weapons. Yin Yu neatly put away his swords, and Ba Shan reluctantly spat on the ground, glared at Lu Qing fiercely, and then turned around and retreated to the formation.
However, just when Ba Shan turned around and was unprepared, an extremely subtle but sharp and harsh sound broke through the air!
A thin black arrow shot out from nowhere in the human team and accurately penetrated Ba Shan's back!
"Uh..."
Ba Shan froze and let out a painful groan. His huge body staggered forward two steps, and hit the bluestone with a "bang" sound, causing a cloud of dust to rise.
"Bashan!" Langya was shocked and flashed to his side, and Yinyu also hurriedly came over.
"Fuck, these bastards..." Ba Shan cursed with a painful look on his face, and before he could finish his words, he vomited blood.
Langya slowly raised his head and glared angrily at the human race in front of him.
The surroundings were quiet for a moment amid this sudden change.
Mo Yan looked shocked, turned his head suddenly, and searched among the humans with shocked and angry eyes, trying to find the person who fired the arrow!
At the same time, Xuanji Walnut.
Lin Qingyang's consciousness struggled to wake up in the chaos. He suddenly took a breath of cold air, and then coughed violently. He coughed up two mouthfuls of fishy lake water before slowly opening his eyes.
What came into his eyes was a dazzling, almost tragic, pure white light, forcing him to squint his eyes. When his vision finally adjusted, he saw the scene in front of him clearly. It was an octagonal white space. The ground and walls were all flawless white. The surrounding windows were also semi-hollow jade walls carved from white jade. This should be the white jade waterside pavilion in the center of the lake.
At this time, he was trapped in a birdcage also carved from white jade. The top of the cage was suspended in the air by several thick bronze chains. His soaked clothes pressed against the cold jade base underneath him, making him shiver.
Lin Qingyang slowly sat up while holding on to the jade base. Through the gap in the white jade railing, she saw a figure standing quietly on the ground directly below the birdcage.
The man's whole body was shrouded in a wide black cloak. On the white jade wall behind him, there was a huge formation composed of complicated white jade reliefs, flashing with a dark red halo like breathing. It was where Li Tian said before that the main formation of the entire Xuanji Walnut was located.
As if he heard Lin Qingyang's movements, the man slowly raised his head, and his face under the hood was exposed in the white light.
Lin Qingyang looked stunned for a moment, then slowly frowned and called, "Elder Chen?"
The person under the hood is none other than Elder Chen, who had previously dealt with the Red Lian Sect case.
"Did... you do it?" Lin Qingyang looked hesitant, "Why did you do this? Where are Cang Mo and the others?!"
Lin Qingyang grabbed the railing in front of her and asked urgently.
But Elder Chen didn't answer, he just raised his head quietly, staring straight at him with a pair of turbid and dull eyes. His face looked extremely pale, with muscles like dead wood, and a layer of lifeless gray. He didn't look like a living person.
Lin Qingyang frowned, feeling something was wrong. He seemed to have seen this scene before, and he felt an inexplicable chill all over his body.
Immediately afterwards, the corners of Elder Chen's mouth slowly and stiffly moved upwards, pulling out a very strange and penetrating smile. A hoarse voice that did not belong to Elder Chen, but had appeared in his nightmares countless times, echoed in the empty white jade room:
"Long time no see... Lin Qingyang."
