In the spiritual world, in a thatched hut not far from the Demon Sealing Abyss, Zhang Kui deployed the Wuxun Formation he brought with him, isolating all auras and even blinding the eyes of the Heavenly Dao.
She took out the fruit of the sacred tree from the Xunyin ancient lamp and looked at it in front of her eyes.
It is the size of an apple and the shape of a pear, white with a hint of red, and its skin feels as delicate as a baby's, with a slight beating sound inside, so faint that you have to put it close to your ear to hear it.
"Put it back and I'll spare your life!" A very light voice came out. Zhang Kui was startled and leaned closer to listen, but there was no sound anymore.
All the pieces of the fruit have been found, but there is still a small piece missing when they are put together.
"Even if one piece is missing, we should be able to rescue Brother Mo's relatives." She murmured softly, then put it back into the ancient lamp, waiting for the right time that Mo Jilin said to come.
…
In the South Sea of the Mortal Realm, Mo Jilin managed to break free from layers of restraints and come out of the realm gate to join the demon clan.
"How is it, was the plan successful?" Jizhu asked.
Mo Jilin nodded, "The divine fruit has been collected. We just need to wait for the turbid air to be released into the mortal world and attract Jinglan. Only then can she enter the Demon Sealing Abyss and bring the people out."
"Will Ye He wake up?" Ji Zhu's eyes flashed with a strange light, and her expression was slightly crazy. "Will she come to suppress us?"
Mo Jilin frowned, "If she wakes up, it will be very disadvantageous to us."
Ignoring Ji Zhu's strangeness, he took out an ink-colored porcelain bottle and said, "Form a formation to break the seal."
The demons deployed the formation according to the previous plan. The two outer layers fought against Rong Chaoxi and Cang Mo, while the innermost layer worked with Mo Jilin to break the seal on the porcelain bottle.
"Mo Ji Lin is out, Chaoxi, you step back, I'm going to withdraw the formation." Cang Mo shouted, and Rong Chaoxi retreated from the vortex.
At the same time, the Sea God sent a message: "Someone has collected Ye He's heart. I will take people to the spirit world to stop her from releasing those people. Cang Mo, you and Chao Xi will hold on."
There was no answer from this side, and the door to the realm was closed and the gods left.
Cang Mo continued to close the formation, "Chao Xi, help me."
“Boom!” The shadow of the sacred tree unfolded over the South China Sea, the thick dark clouds dissipated, and sunlight shone into the sea.
"Bang." At the same time, the barrier that Du Niang had set up on San Sheng four years ago was broken.
In the underworld, Du Niang clutched her chest, her expression inexplicably sad. "This day has come again!"
…
In the spiritual world, the Sea God announced Zhang Kui's appearance to the world and ordered all the monks to go out of the mountains to search for him. It is unknown how many people obeyed his order.
At the bottom of the sea, the mermaid Hengchong got the news and immediately asked the Mermaid King to send soldiers to search. Fu Guang and Fu Yu took Hei Tiao to search among various forces of the aquatic tribe.
At the Tianling Sect on Quling Mountain, Yun Zhanyi came to meet her long-lost friend. The Tianling Sect's senior sister led the entire sect to the Sea God's location to await the gods' orders.
Sects such as Donghua Sect and Jiuxian Pavilion also came.
Poseidon had never expected the arrival of Taiqing Sect, but when he saw that the leader was the seventh disciple Lin Shu, he was no longer surprised.
He and Yun Zhanyi were the only two people who were not branded as the devil by Zeqi. As expected, he was a person who could distinguish right from wrong.
The Sea God waved his long sleeves, and the monks scattered to all parts of the spiritual world.
"It's troublesome to be opponents with former teammates." All was quiet, and Poseidon sighed heavily.
The Rain God asked, "Who was my former teammate? That Mo Jilin?"
"He's not capable of being our teammate yet," Poseidon said. "His master died when he was trying to break through to the Qitian realm. Mo Jilin is his direct disciple."
"Back then, in order to deal with those polluters, almost the entire spirit world united and ascended to the divine realm together. Many of their tactics were known to each other."
"Damn it!" Poseidon shattered a huge rock with a snap. "I can't track Zhang Kui at all. He must have had someone steal the Wuxun Formation."
"It's all Cang Mo's fault! The Wuxun Formation, a formation that no one can find. He created a formation that even he himself can't find. Is he crazy?"
"Uh..." Yu Shen didn't dare to respond. That was his senior brother whom he loved and feared.
…
Mortal world, South China Sea.
The ink bottle gradually grew larger in the formation of nine people, and now it was as tall as a person. The 49 shackles wrapped around it were breaking one by one.
The thirty-second one—bang!
Someone came to report: "Senior, there is no attack from the outside. Cang Mo has trapped us with a formation and we can't break out."
A few beads of sweat slid down Mo Jilin's forehead, and the moment they dropped to his jaw, they evaporated into smoke. He gritted his teeth and said:
"No need to charge. You can't break through his formation. Go and stop him from closing it and buy us some time."
As long as the ancient turbid air is released and Jinglan is attracted to come and "take a look", Zhang Kui will be able to enter the Demon Sealing Abyss barrier without any hindrance and bring everyone out.
"Yes." The man responded and retreated.
The thirty-third one—bang!
"I seem to hear the sound of something cracking." Rong Chaoxi was behind Cang Mo, providing him with a steady stream of spiritual energy. She closed her eyes and listened carefully... "Bang!" Another sound.
By this time, the bell had already rung five times.
Number 41—Bang!
"Did you hear that?" she asked Cang Mo.
Cang Mo was concentrating on closing the formation, so he didn't hear it, but he could see it through the formation.
"It's the Mo Ling porcelain bottle, I saw it." Cang Mo said, "It's in the center of the formation. They want to release the ancient turbid energy to force Jing Lan to 'look' over, creating an opportunity for the person in the spirit world to save people."
Fine beads of sweat were beading on his forehead, and golden cracks were spreading across his body and face. His mortal body had never been tempered by heavenly thunder, and even with the support of his powerful soul, it had already reached its limit.
"Chao Xi, they are going to succeed..."
The 49th one——"Bang!!"
“Buzz——————”
A long, thick, and oppressive humming sound came from the sky. Sea fish emerged from the sea, beasts ran to the mountain top, and birds flew low over the treetops...
The dark clouds that were dispersed by the shadow of the sacred tree once again enveloped the entire world. An eye slowly opened in the dark clouds, with purple lightning as its lid and deep space as its pupil. Just one glance could penetrate the souls of all living beings.
"Jinglan... go back."
"pound--!"
A vibration louder than the buzzing sound shattered the dark clouds, the Eye of Heaven disappeared in an instant, and the Chaoyang Divine Tree returned to the world after a thousand years.
"Chaoxi..." Cang Mo called softly with sobs, tears sliding down his eyes.
He is back.
He couldn't keep her.
