"Brother, look, Lord Wei..."
In the scene, Wei Gongcheng's ferocious expression calmed down, and the darkness in his eyes gradually returned. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he seemed to slowly return to normal.
"Should we go take a look first?" Shen Shiyi couldn't sit still any longer.
"No rush." Shen Laosan shook his head. Running there now would be tantamount to telling the other party that they were being watched.
Although the other party may have guessed this, some things cannot be too explicit, otherwise it won't look good.
About fifteen minutes later, a servant rushed in to report, "My lord, Lord Wei has woken up!"
"Okay, let's go over there!"
The Shen Family patiently hurried over and, led by their subordinates, arrived at the main hall.
At this moment, Wei Gongcheng was sitting on the right side of the hall, still in that very humble position. In fact, among all the Underworld, he held the highest position, but he always sat in a very conservative position, giving the Shen Family enough face.
" Gongcheng, how are you?" Shen San stepped forward and asked with concern.
He and Wei Gongcheng had always been on good terms. Among the Shen Family family, apart from the idle Shen Laoqi, he was the one with the best relationship with him.
"I've recovered." Wei Gongcheng a bitter smile, looking very weak.
"Lord Wei, where is the Lord? What exactly did you encounter on West Island?" Shen Shiyi couldn't contain his impatience and asked directly.
"My lord," Wei Gongcheng shook his head in frustration, "I don't know either."
"You don't know?" Everyone was taken aback.
"We went to the West Island because the Lord felt there was something wrong with those blond-haired, blue-eyed barbarians. And indeed, we discovered something wrong; the Underworld there was sealed away."
" The Underworld has been sealed?" The Shen Family family members all gasped.
As the rulers of the Underworld, they naturally understood how much energy was needed to seal away an entire Underworld!
Based on current mathematical calculations, even if all the sorcerers in the world were summoned, it would be impossible to seal off a single place. Just how powerful must the person who did it be?
"And then what?" Shen Laosan pressed.
"Our lord has decided to take the risk and go to the sealed Underworld to see what's going on. He has instructed me to wait outside. If our lord does not return within a day, I must immediately return to Liuzhou, organize the underworld soldiers to activate the great formation, and first defend Jiangnan!"
"Our lord has gone to the Underworld?" Shen San's face was gloomy, and the others' faces were also extremely ugly. It seemed that their lord had most likely been tricked.
"And what about you? Why did you become like that?" Shen Shiyi asked.
"I don't know either," Wei Gongcheng shook his head in confusion. "I was waiting for the lord outside, and I didn't even know when I fell into a coma. In the blink of an eye, I lost control of my body, as if something had invaded it."
"So how are you feeling now?"
"It's not good." Wei Gongcheng shook his head. "That thing is still inside my body."
"What?"
Shen San quickly looked at the woman beside him who hadn't spoken and asked, "Senior Shen, what exactly is the situation with Lord Wei?"
Seeing the other person address her as "senior," a complex emotion flashed in the woman's eyes. This generation of the Shen Family... they really do resemble that guy. Could it be considered a case of atavism?
"He has been invaded by Ancient Insect; if not dealt with promptly, he may be completely devoured."
" Ancient Insect?" Everyone's pupils contracted upon hearing this.
If we were to name the demons that left the deepest impression on them, it would be the Ancient Insect, especially the Shen Family, who had the deepest connection with these creatures. Although with their current strength, they could easily kill the Ancient Insect they encountered back then, the fear those creatures instilled in them was difficult to erase in a short time.
"How could that be? With Lord Wei's current cultivation level..."
"This Ancient Insect is different," the woman said, shaking her head. "It's in its complete form."
"Complete form?"
"Didn't anyone tell you that the Ancient Insect from back then was just an experimental subject?"
"But the experimental site in the Dragon Palace has been destroyed, and I haven't heard of any other Ancient Insect inside!" Shen San was certain of this. Ziyue had a strong aversion to Ancient Insect as biological weapons and had no intention of establishing any related disciplines, so she destroyed it completely!
"Those things there?" the woman laughed, "Are just a low-quality experimental site, a bunch of failed experiments used to replenish the blood essence bank. How can they compare to this one? This is the real deal from the Buddha Kingdom!"
Buddha Kingdom!
Shen Laosan's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself: So it really was this force that made the move?
In the Dragon Palace Academy, in addition to learning about the Dragon Palace's heritage, students will also study and analyze the Dragon Palace's ancient inscriptions, some of which are ancient spells, while others are historical records.
The inscriptions in the Dragon Palace contain many records about the Buddha Kingdom, which almost certainly means that the Dragon Palace was once controlled by the Buddha Kingdom.
The Buddha Kingdom is a terrifying force that surpasses even the Dragon Palace!
"Were the attackers from the Buddha Kingdom?" Shen Laosan asked, frowning.
"I don't know about that," the woman shook her head. "However, the method of sealing the Underworld is very similar to that of the Buddha Kingdom. Before your master initiated the Divine Path Style, the Buddha Kingdom invested the most in the Yin-Yang Samsara, and even cultivated a Future Buddha who specifically wanted to control the Samsara life and death."
Shen Shiyi and the others were completely confused, but Shen San thought for a while and then said, "Since you know who the other party is, do you have a way to rescue my master?"
"It's hard to say," the woman shook her head again. "We need to get through this immediate crisis first. Although the West Sea Dragon King is a King Level, no one in Jiangnan can rival him right now. You should know very well what to do."
The Shen Family all nodded, but the Shen Laosan hesitated slightly when he looked at the other person.
--
The method to resist King Level threat is simple: activate the Baiyu stored in Jiangnan, and fully activate the Blazing Yang Grand Formation near Liuzhou. There are hundreds of the Heaven Academy sorcerers in Liuzhou, and almost all the sorcerer students who returned safely from Cloud City have stayed in Liuzhou. Activating the Blazing Yang Grand Formation will prevent the West Sea Dragon King from invading this place by any means for at least a hundred days.
As the other party suggested, all that remains is to wait for a turning point.
This approach seems safe and sound, with no major problems. The Blazing Yang Grand Formation will be activated, and then we will wait for news from the north. Once the King Level giant python in the north continues its siege without breaking through, the two members of the Xiao Household should arrive soon.
According to Ziyue, even if King Xiang were to be resurrected, the Xiao Household Imperial Capital to fight him!
Given the current situation, this seems to be the safest path, but Shen San felt inexplicably panicked.
"Third Brother, what are you doing?"
Shen Shiyi looked puzzled as Shen Laosan led him all the way into the academy.
"In the Underworld, you are the youngest and most impulsive, making you the least likely to be valued and also the easiest to get things done. Now, I need you to do something."
"What?" Shen Shiyi was taken aback.
"Go to the West Island to find the Lord!"
"Huh?" Shen Shiyi was taken aback. "But didn't Lord Wei say that the Lord..."
"What Wei Gongcheng may not be true!"
"Third Brother," Shen Shiyi's face immediately turned horrified, "What did you say?"
In his eyes, Wei Gongcheng had always been among the most loyal to Chen Qing; when it came to loyalty, the Shen Family couldn't even come close!
" Wei Gongcheng may have betrayed us!"
