Chapter 1796 He really was a sacrifice!
When Ah Xiong saw Ming Chuan return, he quickly went to greet him: "Brother Ming, are you alright?"
Mingchuan waved his hand: "It's nothing serious."
He turned around and was about to sit down when the spiritual communication jade talisman in his arms vibrated again.
Jin Man's message was even more urgent: "Mingchuan, the situation has changed! Han Li suddenly became agitated and tried to force his way out of the meditation room, babbling incoherently about the Holy Lord, sacrifices, and the Cloud Ascension Platform! Lin Ruowei tried to calm him down with a secret technique, but was instead attacked by his icy spiritual power! Chu Huai has led people to temporarily trap him, but I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for long! The Demonic Abyss Mark within his body seems to have been activated by some force from afar!"
Holy Lord? Sacrifice? Cloud Ascension Platform?
Mingchuan suddenly looked up at the icy-faced Fairy Yueyao on the high platform, and then at the Cloud Ascension Platform, which was shrouded in a peaceful appearance but concealed a soul-locking array.
A terrifying thought exploded in his mind like a thunderclap!
Could it be... that Han Li didn't come for Wangxiantai?
His goal from the very beginning was to reach the Cloud Platform?!
The so-called Demon Abyss Spy, the so-called eerie rogue cultivator... Could it be that someone deliberately sent them to the Ascension Platform and then lured them to the Cloud Ascension Platform as sacrifices?!
And some distant force that triggered the demonic abyss mark within him...
Mingchuan's gaze was fixed on the core of the Soul-Locking Array below the Cloud-Ascending Platform, which was slowly operating and ready to be unleashed!
Yueyao... what exactly are you trying to do?!
Sacrifice the hidden agents of the Demon Abyss to activate the grand formation and seize control of all the talents present?!
"Ah Xiong!" Ming Chuan shouted urgently in a low voice, "Immediately lead all the disciples of the Battle Hall to evacuate from Dengyuntai at top speed! Look back to Sendai and rendezvous with Jinman! Hurry!"
Ah Xiong was taken aback, but seeing the unprecedented urgency in Ming Chuan's eyes, he didn't hesitate: "Yes!"
"Zhao Hu, you go with Ah Xiong and look after him on the way."
“Ming-ge, then you…” Ah Xiong asked anxiously.
"I'll stay." Mingchuan's gaze was icy. "There are some things that need to be clarified. Let's go!"
With a flick of his sleeve, a hidden spatial passage quietly opened behind Ah Xiong and the others, leading directly to a place a hundred miles away from Dengyuntai.
Ah Xiong gritted his teeth, no longer hesitating, and roared, "Everyone, follow me!"
Fifty elite warriors from the Battle Hall, though unaware of the reason, obeyed orders without question and instantly assembled. Following Ah Xiong and Zhao Hu, they swiftly disappeared into the spatial passage.
Their sudden departure attracted some attention, but since the free exchange session had already begun and the flow of people was already frequent, it did not cause much of a commotion.
On the high platform, Fairy Yueyao watched Mingchuan's little actions, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, which was then replaced by coldness.
Want to leave? Too late.
She quietly transmitted her voice to an old man behind her: "How is the formation being prepared?"
"Reporting to Fairy, the Soul-Locking Array has been fully connected with the residual power of the Moonlit Sky's boundary and can be activated at any time. However... just now, Mingchuan used spatial folding to neutralize the attack, causing a slight imbalance in the energy of some nodes, which will require some time to adjust," the old man replied.
"Speed up," Fairy Yueyao said coldly. "I want to see all the seeds planted before the event ends. Also... keep a close eye on Mingchuan. If there are any unusual movements, immediately activate the backup plan."
"Yes!"
Mingchuan sat alone on the third floor, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he had fully extended his divine sense, closely locking onto every change in the great formation below, while maintaining close contact with the Wangxiantai through the spirit communication jade talisman.
"Jinman," Mingchuan transmitted rapidly, "Han Li was likely deliberately sent to the Wangxiantai (Viewing Immortals Platform) and then lured to the Dengyuntai (Cloud Ascension Platform) as a sacrifice. The Demon Abyss Mark within him has already been activated by the Dengyuntai formation. You must immediately..."
Before he could finish speaking, something unexpected happened!
At the center of the Cloud Ascension Platform, the ten Spirit-Appraisal Jade Tablets suddenly erupted with blinding blood light!
Blood-red light shot into the sky, intertwining in the air and transforming into a huge, twisted, and ominous eerie rune!
At the same time, the hidden soul-locking formation below suddenly activated at full power!
It is no longer a covert attraction and erosion, but a violent, naked plunder and suppression!
Countless visible dark red chains shot out from the array nodes, like venomous snakes that preyed on their victims, frantically coiling around all the young cultivators on the platform whose cultivation level was below the Nascent Soul stage!
Especially those outstanding talents who performed well in previous exchanges and had great luck!
"what--!"
"What's this?!"
"My spiritual power... is draining away!"
"My soul...it hurts so much!"
Screams and cries of alarm instantly echoed across Dengyuntai!
Chaos erupted!
The cultivators from the Holy Domain and the Outer Domain were also caught off guard. Many young geniuses were entangled by dark red chains, struggling desperately but unable to break free, and their auras quickly weakened.
"Yueyao! What are you doing?!" An elder from an outer sect asked in a stern voice, filled with shock and anger.
Fairy Yueyao stood on the high platform, her face cold and her eyes utterly calm: "Please be patient, everyone. This is the first step of the trial, testing your willpower and perseverance. Only those who can break free will be true talents and will be nurtured by my Dragon Roar Temple."
Trials? Bullshit!
Mingchuan cursed inwardly.
This is clearly a guise for selecting outstanding talents, but in reality, it's about plundering foundations and controlling souls! They even went so far as to use the Demon Abyss Mark as a catalyst to activate this evil array that was already prepared!
Just then, a horrified message came from the spirit communication jade talisman in his bosom:
"Mingchuan! At Wangxiantai... Han Li self-destructed! Before dying, he shouted 'Holy Lord, eternal!' and ascended to the clouds as a sacrifice! During the explosion... a large amount of demonic energy and Soul-Devouring Plague spread! We are doing our best to control it, but the casualties... will probably be considerable!"
May the Holy Lord be eternal, and may he ascend to the clouds as a sacrifice!
really!
Han Li was a sacrifice!
He used himself as a catalyst to create chaos and casualties at Wangxiantai. At the same time, the Demon Abyss Mark within his body resonated with the Dengyuntai Grand Array, completely activating this evil array!
This is a meticulously planned double attack targeting the two major events in the Spirit Realm!
They want to destroy the Wangxiantai Grand Competition, severely damage the morale and future hope of the Spirit Realm, and also use the Dengyuntai Grand Array to control or even plunder all the talents present, providing nourishment or puppets for the Holy Realm!
What a vicious strategy!
Mingchuan suddenly stood up, his gaze like lightning, piercing through the chaotic crowd and landing directly on the expressionless Fairy Yueyao on the high platform.
As if sensing something, Fairy Yueyao also looked at him, a cold and cruel smile slowly curving her lips.
She deliberately raised her eyebrows, as if to say, "The game begins."
Mingchuan took a deep breath, and his body shone with a brilliant silver light.
The power of space began to coalesce with unprecedented intensity.
Above the Cloud Ascension Platform, the eerie runes woven from the blood-red light of the Spirit-Appraisal Jade Tablet seemed to sense something, slowly rotating and locking onto his direction.
Dark red chains, like a horde of demons, surged forward wildly!
Below the stage, young monks were wailing and struggling.
On the stage is the cold and ruthless fairy of the Holy Realm.
In the distance, the Wangxiantai Terrace is ravaged by demonic energy.
Mingchuan stood alone on the third floor, his black robe fluttering in the wind, his eyes filled with only a chilling killing intent.
"Yueyao..."
"you wanna die!"
