Chapter 684 The Thief
Chapter 684 The Thief
As the talisman flew away, the tremors of the earth spread far away, almost covering the entire mountain range.
The operator's expression changed drastically: "The Hundred Tribulations Forbidden Art?! The Hundred Tribulations Forbidden Art again?!"
"Xuan Yunzi, how could you possibly use the Hundred Tribulations Forbidden Art? You were only an outer disciple of the Taiqing Sect in your lifetime, and now you're just an old dog barely surviving after cultivating your Qi-transformed body and outer body! How could you possibly do that?!"
His voice was hoarse.
Xuan Yunzi walked out of the Taoist temple and spoke weakly but firmly, "Hey...it's true that I was born an outer disciple, but I'm not an outer disciple now."
"I am the chief elder brother of the sixth generation of disciples of Taiqing Sect, the sixth generation of worshippers, the former elder of the Transmission Hall, and the former elder of the Law Enforcement Hall!"
"Do you really think I'm just an ordinary Taoist returning home? I'm just kidding. I came here to one day completely eliminate the evils and evildoers that my Taiqing Sect founder failed to solve!"
"Of course, one of my Qi-incarnated outer bodies might be a bit of a stretch—but what if there are five?"
Xuan Yunzi raised his head and saw talismans flying above the sky of the Yushan Realm, above the distant Shuangsaw Mountain and the Taoist temples in the other three mountains.
"This Hundred Tribulations Forbidden Art is the 'Earth-Covering, Mountain-Destroying, and Sealing Talisman Formation' that my Grandmaster Taiqing used once before. Now that it's being used again, I wonder if you've come up with any countermeasures during the three hundred and fifty years you've been imprisoned? Hahahahahahaha!"
After the old Taoist said this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had never felt so happy in his life!
The shaking of the earthquake became more and more violent, and even the distant mountains began to shake.
Huge rocks broke off the mountain and rolled down the steep slope.
The rocks collided with each other, making a deafening roar that echoed in the originally silent mountains.
Around this Taoist temple, rough cracks appeared on the rocks and the surface of the earth. The violent shaking made it difficult for the martial arts puppets with excellent lower body skills to stand steadily.
The operator looked at the players who were also standing unsteadily and spoke again hurriedly, "You bunch of idiots, you actually helped this old Taoist guardian unleash the Hundred Tribulations Forbidden Art. Once this forbidden art is released, the earth will shake and the mountains will fall. This is only the beginning. Once it is fully activated, it will be like a real earthquake disaster. The ground within a hundred miles will collapse and fall. Even the caster of the art will not be spared. The fact that you are included in it shows that this old Taoist doesn't care about your life or death at all!"
"Even if you're lucky enough to survive this catastrophe, we'll all still be sunk and sealed underground. Huge mountains will fall upon our heads again, and we'll be isolated within the space of the talisman array, staying underground for hundreds or thousands of years without ever emerging into the world!"
As the operator spoke, Xuan Yunzi added, "My fellow heroes from outside the domain, I don't want to deceive you, but what he said is indeed true... Even if this forbidden talisman formation is activated, I can't remain unaffected. The reason the ancestor was able to remain unaffected back then was because he had already reached a transcendent realm of understanding the great Dao."
"I can't send you all out, but I promise I'll do my best to protect you during the fall... I heard before that several heroes seem to need to 'reach Liu Town' and 'stop Liu Town from appearing'... In that case, this is actually a good opportunity."
"When this technique is activated, it is exactly the same as the forbidden talisman array used by my Grandmaster Taiqing back then. So if I am not mistaken, this action will not only overlap with the Grandmaster's talisman array, making it durable for another hundred years, but will also send you and me into the talisman array space that seals Liu Zhen and the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord," Xuan Yunzi said with bright eyes and hope. "If nothing unexpected happens, everyone...you will all face the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord like me!"
"I, the old Taoist, originally intended to use this move when my life was almost over, but today, all of you heroes are also interested in this... I, the old Taoist, would rather wait for a day than wait for it. Please don't blame me - for the sake of the people of the Prison Mountain Realm, Xuan Yunzi earnestly asks you heroes to join me in entering the Double Saw Mountain Talisman Formation to fight the demon together and strive to kill it once and for all!"
Xuan Yunzi bowed and then knelt down.
Snow Owl sighed, "Old Taoist, you're good... I think you've hit my sore spot!"
"Damn it, you tricked me, and yet you're right... I can't help it. The lives of the people in the Prison Mountain Realm are also lives—I'll settle the score with you after I defeat that spider."
As Snowy Owl spoke, Seagull scratched his face. "Really? You acted first and asked for your permission later. What else can we do? Let's help you!"
"Anyway, if we win, we'll be clearing the level. Actually, if you think about it, you don't necessarily need to scheme against us this way. Now it seems like this is our only way to get through this level."
Gao Shan's face was even more resolute: "At this point, the only option is to burn our boats and fight to the death."
These two "Night Watchmen" and one member of "Order" all have relatively high awareness and integrity. Although they know that Xuan Yunzi has calculated against them and forced them to fight the big spider, considering that Xuan Yunzi's starting point is good, everyone does not care that much.
Of course, Lin Yu and his team did not accept the reality so easily.
"This...are we really going to go? It sounds scary!"
Fei Dao weakly put forward his idea.
At this time, Lin Yu had already returned from outside the Taoist temple.
He curled his lips as he listened to Fei Dao's words.
"Otherwise, what else can we do... Anyway, our original plan was to go down there."
"Besides... we can't get away now."
As Lin Yu spoke, he pointed to the cracks outside the Taoist temple that were getting bigger and bigger - many puppet warriors outside had been swept into it by the rolling rocks.
There are also countless talismans flying around in the sky, and it is difficult to escape even if you have wings.
But Li Nian lowered his voice and spoke.
"I can walk—Sister Zhu Ming, I can really walk if I want to."
She moved closer to Lin Yu, blocking everyone's view with her body, and took out a transparent bag filled with green gravel and a scroll.
"This is the [Blink Scroll], a reusable, single-person, instant short-distance teleportation skill..."
"One person, short distance, even if it's instant, even if the cooldown is short, you can't escape."
Lin Yu looked at Li Nian and shook his head.
Li Nian shook another transparent bag: "But there is also this."
Lin Yu took a closer look and felt that the things in the bag looked familiar.
"Wait a minute, this is..."
"[Breaking Limits] - even if one isn't enough for this [Shimmering Scroll] to take us out, I have over two hundred of them."
Lin Yu instantly understood why Li Nian was so outrageous compared to other "thieves"...
It turns out that her biggest trump card and unique feature are these two hundred [Limit Breaking Jue]!
Li Nian looked at Lin Yu and said seriously: "Sister Zhu Ming, with these things, it will be no problem for me to take you out."
"But I need to know... do we really need to escape?"
Lin Yu looked at Li Nian and felt the sincerity shown by the other party when he showed the [Breaking Limit Jue].
Lin Yu hesitated for a moment and decided to be honest with Li Nian.
"It seems that you have already seen..."
"We really don't need to flee—rather, going into the talisman array space and facing the demon head-on is exactly what I want."
"Because it's not only a dangerous but potentially the fastest way to clear the level, but it also likely contains what I want."
Upon hearing this, Li Nian nodded slightly.
"I understand - since this is what you want, Sister Zhu Ming, then I will accompany you."
She laughed softly.
Obviously, they were about to face an extremely dangerous demon, but Li Nian seemed somewhat happy at the moment.
"Tell me earlier next time, Sister Zhu Ming—especially if there's something you want."
"Don't forget, I'm pretty good at getting what I want!"
