Chapter 1749 Crisis, Intense Pressure!
Mingchuan felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at the tears welling up in Dong Chuyan's eyes and her resolute expression, but there was no time to hesitate.
He reached out and gently stroked Dong Chuyan's cheek, then looked at Ran Qianqian, who was also biting her lip and refusing to back down, and Leng Xi, whose gaze was both cool and persistent.
His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable determination:
"Chu Yan, Qian Qian, Xiao Xi, listen to me. This is not the time to act impulsively."
“The evil core set a trap to lure me here. Su Hongzhen has been completely corrupted by demons, and this place has become a deadly trap. If the four of us stay here, our chances of winning are slim. If we are all trapped here, the Spirit Realm will truly be in grave danger.”
His gaze swept over the three men, his speech quickening yet clear: "I need you to leave, not to survive, but to bring in real reinforcements! Go, Elder Ye, Jin Man, Sect Master Ye of Qingfeng Yumen, Ye Chuhan, and even the experts from Zixiao Jingyuan and Butian Shengjiao! Only by gathering the top forces of the Spirit Realm can we completely suppress this fiend and solidify the seal!"
He took a deep breath, his eyes resolute: "My spatial laws may be able to temporarily restrain, or even attempt to isolate this area from the Spirit Realm, to buy you time. But if you stay, I will inevitably be distracted."
Trust me, I won't die here easily. Delaying and waiting for reinforcements is the best option!
Leng Xi was the first to calm down. She looked into Ming Chuan's eyes, then quickly glanced at the increasingly terrifying demonic puppet below and the menacing phantom of the evil core. A momentary struggle flashed in her cold eyes, but it was quickly replaced by reason.
"He's right."
Leng Xi's voice trembled slightly, yet remained exceptionally clear, "If we stay, we'll only hinder his actions. Chu Yan, Qian Qian, time is of the essence. Every moment of delay increases Ming Chuan's danger and brings the crisis in the Spirit Realm ever closer!"
She stepped forward, took Dong Chuyan's and Ran Qianqian's hands, and squeezed them firmly:
"We must trust him, and we must complete the task he has given us! This is the only way to save him and the Spirit Realm!"
Dong Chuyan's tears finally rolled down her cheeks, but looking into Mingchuan's resolute eyes, and then at Leng Xi, she finally nodded heavily and choked out, "Mingchuan... you must wait for us to come back!"
Ran Qianqian's eyes were red-rimmed. She punched Mingchuan hard in the chest, but not with much force.
"You bastard! If you dare to die before we get back, I'll haunt you even as a ghost! Hold on!"
Mingchuan gave a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, I can't bear to part with you all."
Without further delay, he rapidly formed hand seals, unleashing a surge of immense spatial power. This power was not used for attack, but rather to construct a stable and sturdy silver shuttle-shaped shield around the three women.
"go!"
Mingchuan gave a low shout and pushed forward with both hands!
A silver, shuttle-shaped shield enveloped the three women, transforming into a streak of light that instantly pierced through the slightly unstable barrier area above, which had been weakened by the previous impact.
Outside the protective barrier, space slightly distorted, creating a brief safe passage for those with whom he shared a mental connection.
Almost at the same moment the protective shield disappeared, Su Hongzhen, who had been completely corrupted by demonic energy, let out a furious roar, and a thick demonic tentacle lashed out at Mingchuan like a venomous python.
At the same time, the phantom of the evil core let out a cold snort, and an invisible mental shock pressed down like a tidal wave!
"Your opponent is me!"
Mingchuan's eyes sharpened, and the Nine Dragons Sword shone with golden light once more as he took the initiative to meet the demonic puppet's attack. At the same time, the "Myriad Transformations Return to One" technique was fully activated in his mind to stabilize his spirit and resist the evil spiritual erosion!
……
A flash of silver light appeared, and Leng Xi, Ran Qianqian, and Dong Chuyan appeared in the mountain valley above, and the silver protective shield dissipated.
Su Hao and Luo Yang, who had been watching anxiously and with their hearts in their throats, immediately rushed over.
"Ladies! What's the situation inside? Where's Mingchuan?" Su Hao asked anxiously, and Luo Yang also looked worried.
Leng Xi's face was pale, and her breathing was slightly disordered, but her eyes were sharp as knives, without the slightest hesitation:
"The situation is critical! Su Hongzhen has been completely corrupted by demonic energy, becoming a puppet of the evil core, and his strength has increased dramatically. The will of the evil core has personally descended to lure Mingchuan into a trap. To buy us time, Mingchuan has stayed behind alone to cover our retreat!"
"What?!" Su Hao and Luo Yang were struck dumb, their faces turning deathly pale instantly.
Although they had a premonition, hearing the news that their sect leader had been "completely demonized" and "become a puppet" still made them feel dizzy and overwhelmed by the pain and confusion of their faith collapsing completely.
Luo Yang, in particular, swayed and almost lost his balance.
Leng Xi had no time to comfort them, and continued rapidly, "Mingchuan plans to try to temporarily isolate the influence of the Demon Abyss using the power of spatial laws, but it needs support! Time is running out! Chu Yan, Qian Qian, you two immediately set up the strongest demon-sealing and purification formation here with Su Hao and Luo Yang. We don't aim to destroy the enemy, but only to suppress the outflow of demonic energy below to the greatest extent possible, to reduce the pressure on Mingchuan, and to buy time for the arrival of reinforcements!"
She looked at the distraught Su Hao and Luo Yang, her voice suddenly becoming stern: "Su Hao! Luo Yang! Now is not the time for you to collapse! Your sect leader is gone, but the reputation of Qingcheng Yufa Sect and the safety of the Spirit Realm still need you to protect them!"
"Setting up an array to suppress the Demon Abyss is the only thing you can do right now, and it's the only thing you have to do!"
"Whether you want to stay here and regret your fate until you die, or do something useful, the choice is yours!"
This sharp shout was like a thunderclap, jolting Su Hao and Luo Yang awake from their daze.
The two exchanged a glance and saw the same pain and despair in each other's eyes. But deeper, a tenacity and sense of responsibility that belonged to cultivators, which had been driven to the brink of despair, slowly ignited within them.
"...We understand."
Su Hao's voice was hoarse, yet it carried a resolute determination, "We, as disciples, have a responsibility to atone for the sins committed by the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect. Luo Yang!"
Luo Yang wiped his face hard, his eyes turning fierce: "Damn it! Set up the formation! Even if it costs us our lives, we must suppress that damned thing!"
Dong Chuyan and Ran Qianqian nodded emphatically, and the four of them began to rapidly gather their spiritual power, preparing to set up the strongest sealing magic array they could cast.
Seeing them take action, Leng Xi felt somewhat relieved. She glanced one last time at the barrier layer below, which was flashing with light and constantly emitting energy booms. A deep worry flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
"I'm leaving this to you! I'm going to get reinforcements! As fast as I can!"
After saying this, Leng Xi transformed into a streak of ice-blue light and flew towards the Wan Chuan Sect in the void without hesitation!
Mingchuan, you must hold on!
In the mountain valley, Dong Chuyan, Ran Qianqian, Su Hao, and Luo Yang suppressed their panic and grief and began to work together to set up an array.
One after another, array flags and spirit stones were rapidly deployed, and intricate array patterns lit up on the ground and in the void. An aura of sealing and purification began to condense. Although it might only be a drop in the ocean compared to the terrifying demonic abyss below, this was all they could do for Mingchuan and the Spirit Realm at this moment.
