Chapter 468 Then I Will Break Through

Yu Cang stood under the majestic "Gate of Heaven" with an ugly look on his face.

I can’t get out, and I can’t contact Ling’e Zhenguo.

There was no signal on the terminal, and the decoding talisman appeared and disappeared intermittently, as if it would disappear at any time.

But... fortunately, although the talisman's solution was strange, it looked more like Ling E was under too much mental pressure and couldn't maintain it, rather than a problem with himself.

...But, the mental pressure is already overflowing, and the battle will undoubtedly be very fierce. Do we still need to maintain the existence of the talisman?

Yu Cang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Ling E has undoubtedly encountered an enemy of the same level. In this state, any mental pressure will become the key to determining victory or defeat. Does he still need to maintain the talisman at this point?

Yu Cang was silent for a moment.

"Damn it." Yu Cang frowned, "I don't know how Jie Shuang and Qi'er are doing now..."

The connection between Qi'er and himself is normal, which means that the battle situation should be fine for now... This is a bit contradictory.

Ling E is in this state, but Qi'er still has room to perform... Could it be that Senior Ling was ambushed?

If only I could go out.

Thinking of this, Yu Cang turned his head and looked at Ao Xiang beside him.

At this time, Ao Xiang was huddled under a huge rock with his knees hugged. His back looked gray and lonely to the extreme.

“…”

It seems that a fragile heart was hurt accidentally.

"That... Ao Xiang."

"Ah? I'm here!" Ao Xiang immediately stood up and looked at Yu Cang with anticipation.

But the tears that have not disappeared yet are really pitiful.

"Do you know how to leave the Tianmen Secret Realm?"

"Eh? Leave?" Ao Xiang was stunned, and then her face turned panicked. "Did...did I scare you?"

"No." Yu Cang shook his head. "Something happened outside and I need to go out... But now the Tianmen Gate is not working for some reason. Is there any other exit here?"

"Is that so?" Ao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately said, "But I only know the Tianmen method... Maybe my father should know? Otherwise, I will take you to find my father?"

"Take me there..." Yu Cang glanced at the Jiefu that was constantly twitching beside him, "Forget it for now. If possible, can you help me ask..."

suddenly!

Before Yu Cang finished speaking, a bell suddenly rang out in the distant sky!

Boom!!!

The dull bell sound echoed among the layers of clouds. The penetrating sound directly penetrated the thirty-three heavens and reached Yu Cang's ears.

Before Yu Cang realized what this meant, Ao Xiang's face in front of him suddenly became ugly, and there was a look of complete disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Yu Cang had a bad feeling in his heart.

"This is the 'Dragon Bell'. When it's struck, the sound can be heard throughout the entire Tianmen Secret Realm... But it shouldn't normally sound like this. This kind of ringing is only used when the Dragon Palace is invaded by foreign enemies..."

To be honest, Ao Xiang had never heard such a sound in his life. After all, in the current Tianmen Secret Realm, the spiritual beasts were well protected, so how could there be any foreign invasion?

The reason why he could recognize it was because he had heard and recognized the sounds made by other knocking methods. The only one he had never heard of was the one made by foreign invasion, so it was naturally easy to recognize.

Yu Cang frowned.

What a coincidence?

Ling'e Zhenguo was attacked outside, and then, foreign enemies also invaded from inside Tianmen?

They should be a group...but shouldn't I, Ling E, and Cui Zhun be the only three people who have entered the Tianmen Secret Realm recently?

"No, I have to go back to the Dragon Palace." Ao Xiang stood up suddenly, "Yu Cang, I have to go back to help... It was my fault for scaring you just now. I will apologize to you another day!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Yu Cang stopped him at this moment.

"Wait." Yu Cang said, "Don't leave yet."

"No, when the bell rings, I must go back and join the battle..."

"Listen to me." Yu Cang's tone left no room for doubt.

An indescribable aura emanated from around Yu Cang. Inexplicably, Ao Xiang's originally anxious expression quickly stabilized.

He looked at Yu Cang, and his heart suddenly felt at peace.

It seemed as if surrendering to the man in front of her was a matter of course.

"Then...then what do you think we should do?"

"Let me think about it first."

Yu Cang sat down on the ground, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Judging from the information currently known, this "foreign enemy" should be among the three of them.

Intuitively, he and Ling E had little chance, so the person should be Cui Zhun. However, this world had many hidden methods, and he couldn't be sure that he was completely flawless.

So... who will have plans against whom in Tianmen?

Putting aside the forces he was not clear about, there were only two who had the ability and motivation - the Bloodline Empire and the Desolate Sect!

Yes, the Bloodline Empire was so powerful in yesterday’s college league, so there should be more than just this little plan.

But how did the people from the Bloodline Empire get into the Tianmen Secret Realm... The "gateway" to the Bloodline Empire should only be Wu Chen, and now Wu Chen... anyway, he would not be in the Tianmen Secret Realm.

That… isn’t right.

A fragment of memory suddenly flashed through Yu Cang's mind.

I still remember what he said when Gu Jieshuang's hypothermia broke out and I followed him into the Bloodline Empire and met Yaoqi...

His "territory" flows through the blood of all living beings...but in his own definition, mortal blood does not count as a living being.

In other words, the Bloodline Empire's "fuel" is only mixed blood, so...

Yu Cang raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ao Xiang in front of him.

...Does this count?

Moreover, the dragon man, who is closer to a spiritual beast, may be more suitable to act as a portal than Wu Chen.

...No, it's still not right.

Yu Cang suddenly had an idea.

Remember... Ever since the advent of the wilderness, the environment of heaven and earth has changed drastically. The spiritual beasts that used to have long lifespans have been affected by unknown factors, and their lifespans have been greatly reduced. Now, there aren't even any that can live to be a thousand years old...

Could it be that even the pure-blooded spirit beasts have become the “territory” of the Bloodline Empire?

Yu Cang rubbed his eyebrows.

I hope that's not the case, otherwise... there will be big trouble.

This means that the Tianmen Secret Realm is probably no longer absolutely safe.

So, who is the enemy?

If it was just the Bloodline Empire, Ling E would not have been in such a difficult battle - relying on only Wu Chen, the Bloodline Empire would not be able to compete with the existence of Ling E's level in the real world.

So, is it the Desolate Sect and the Bloodline Empire joining forces... Maybe there is a third-party force, but that is what I don't know.

If this guess is correct, then I am now in it and may not be able to escape.

The Bloodline Empire will not let him go, and neither will the Desolate Sect... He must do something.

But, before that.

"Ye Lai." Yu Cang recited Ye Lai's name in his heart.

"I am here."

"I need to confirm something."

"You say."

…

After a moment, Yu Cang stood up.

Ao Xiang asked quickly: "What should we do?"

"Take me with you."

"Okay... I'll take you to the Dragon Palace right now!"

"It's not the Dragon Palace." Yu Cang said, "It's the 'Cloud Banquet'."

"Ah?" Ao Xiang was stunned.

…

Tianmen Secret Realm, the tenth level.

The eleventh floor is where the Dragon Palace is located, and the tenth floor is naturally where the Dragon Palace Cloud Banquet is held.

Although Tianmen has thirty-three floors, it is only an incomplete space after all, so the eleventh floor is already the limit for stable and long-term survival. It is hard to say if it can survive above that.

The road to the tenth floor is winding and even a bit counterintuitive. In short, it is not possible to go all the way up, but Ao Xiang is obviously very familiar with this place, so Yu Cang did not spend much effort to reach the destination.

After passing through the last door made of clouds and mist, the view suddenly opens up.

This is a magnificent complex of buildings, surrounded by clouds and mist, with carved beams and painted buildings, and staggered undulating structures. All fantasies about the word "Dragon Palace" can be found here.

However, it may not be so good now.

As soon as Yu Cang came out of the gate, the relatively intact gate was immediately collapsed by the energy fluctuations that came from a very far distance, and fell to the ground with a loud bang!

At the same time, a loud dragon roar came from the sky, and the shaking waves filled every inch of space. Yu Cang's heart was shocked, and even his breathing stopped.

"This is... my father is fighting!" Ao Xiang's face was filled with worry. "My father is a legend, is he even going to take action..."

At this time.

"Ao Xiang? What are you doing here?!"

A figure suddenly fell from the sky. It was a two-meter-tall dragon man with a naked upper body, exaggeratedly developed muscles, huge and ferocious dragon horns on his head, and a thick and powerful tail behind him.

"Brother, I am..."

"Go back to the Dragon Palace, here..." Ao Wu's eyes shifted and he suddenly saw Yu Cang. His expression changed drastically. "It's a human... Ao Xiang! Damn it, how could you meet with a human without permission!"

Yu Cang's face turned serious, and his hand had already touched the card box on his waist.

This newly appeared dragon man seems to have a strong prejudice against humans. Could he be from the Bloodline Empire?

The next second, Ao Wu strode to Yu Cang, pushed aside the weak and boneless Ao Xiang, bent down slightly, and said hurriedly: "Human, Ao Xiang is just an exception among us dragon people... You see, most of us dragon people are like me, strong and capable of fighting!"

After saying that, he bulged his pectoral muscles, and a ray of light flashed across the scales on his chest.

Yu Cang: "..."

Well, it seems that he is indeed very prejudiced against humans.

After saying that, Ao Wu turned around and gave Ao Xiang a sharp look: "Hurry up and go back to the Dragon Palace and hide! This is not the place for you..."

Ao Xiang's face darkened.

"I asked him to bring me here," Yu Cang said. "From my own perspective, I don't want to see prejudice and discrimination among the dragon race. Let's not talk about that for now. Take me to find Cui Zhun."

"Ah?" Ao Wu was stunned. "Aoao, okay... Ao Xiang, Cui Zhun is in the Water Shelter Palace now. It's perfect for you to go hide there with this human friend..."

Ao Xiang bit his lip: "I want to fight too!"

"You're too weak." Ao Wu focused his mind. "Father has been possessed by something and has lost control. He wants to destroy 'Chengying'. My uncles are trying to stop him, but a group of our tribesmen have gone mad for some reason... It's very dangerous here. It's not a place for you to stay."

So...

Yu Cang seemed to be thinking about something.

"Well, that's good." Ao Xiang could only nod.

"Wait." Yu Cang suddenly asked, "There are many myths in the Dragon Palace?"

"Ah? No, only my father."

"Then why did the battle last so long?"

The battles between myths and beings below them should be crushing.

"Because Father himself seems to be struggling, it seems as if he is fighting with himself... and my uncles are also very strong."

"So... I understand."

"Well, I'll be leaving first. I need to go and suppress those rebellious tribesmen."

After saying that, Ao Wu let out a howl and turned away.

…

On the road

"What is Chengying?" Yu Cang asked.

"It's a sword," Ao Xiang explained. "We can use the Four Seas Dragon Ruins to help humans fight, and the Chengying Sword is the link between them... I don't know anything more."

Yu Cang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

It seems that the force causing chaos in the Tianmen Secret Realm must be the Bloodline Empire.

The motives and means match.

And the Water Shelter Palace - according to Ao Xiang, it is a palace with reinforced defensive measures.

When the accident occurred in the Dragon Palace, Cui Jun should have been taken to the Water Shelter for protection immediately.

Soon, Ao Xiang brought Yu Cang to a palace.

A huge real dragon was lurking outside the palace, surrounding the entire palace with its body. There was also a layer of barrier inside its body.

When Ao Xiang appeared, the real dragon's eyes became much more alert, but when he saw Yu Cang, he quickly retracted his alertness and made way for a door while swimming.

Without saying anything, Yu Cang immediately entered the barrier.

"Yu Cang?" A familiar voice came, and Cui Zhun looked over. "You're here too... How's the battle going outside?"

Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Cui Zhun looked frightened and seemed very surprised.

However, this does not clear him of suspicion.

"Cui Zhun, answer a few questions for me," Yu Cang said. "Are you mixed-blood?"

"Ah? I..."

Cui Zhun was startled by Yu Cang's aura, but seeing Yu Cang's serious expression, he nodded and said:

"I'm not."

"What tactics did he use when you duelled with Wu Chen?"

This is also a very important point.

In the college league, Wu Chen wanted to pollute Duan Feng's bloodline through a dark duel.

So... does this mean that Wu Chen has secretly corrupted many people?

However, those were done using more covert means, so no one discovered them.

"Wu Chen?" Cui Zhun frowned, realizing the seriousness of the situation. "He didn't use the tactics he used in the college league, otherwise I wouldn't have won. But he did use a few strange spell cards..."

He looked at Yu Cang, his expression already very ugly: "Yu Cang, is it me who has the problem?"

"We can't rule out this possibility." Yu Cang said, "For now, you stay here and don't come into contact with any spirit beasts."

"Ah...I understand." Cui Jun nodded in response.

After Yu Cang finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Cui Zhun then hurriedly said:

"Hey, Yu Cang, where are you going?"

"Go help the Dragon Palace."

Yu Cang still remembers the scene in the Bloodline Empire.

With the help of the mythical soul card Emperor Wu's Seal, Yaoqi has absolute control over the spirit beasts!

In other words, no matter what method Yaoqi used to enter Tianmen, the spirit beasts and hybrids in Tianmen alone could not stop Yaoqi.

It is only a matter of time before you are completely controlled.

He had to take action—before the myth was completely controlled.

Cui Zhun's expression changed: "But you're only a level five... There's a myth causing trouble outside!"

"Really?" Yu Cang exhaled, "I almost forgot about this matter - then I will break through."

ah?

Cui Zhun was stunned and was about to say something, but he saw Yu Cang's aura in front of him suddenly change!

Cui Zhun just stayed where he was.

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Have you made a breakthrough already?

Just kidding!!!

Okay, okay, now among the three champions, I am the only one still at level five... Is the gap between people so big?
