"Richard, we're almost at the stronghold of those Easterners."
"Are the technicians to cut off the signal in place?" Richard asked, hands in his pockets.
"Ready to go. Just give the order, and the signal to the Eastern stronghold will be cut off immediately. Then, my men will launch a fierce attack on the stronghold!"
Richard smiled knowingly: "Very well. Isn't the prophet in the East supposed to be able to foresee the future? This time, I'll see if he can predict my actions."
The others were somewhat worried in the face of Richard's confidence.
Red Rose said worriedly, "Boss, the power of the Flower Goddess should be able to protect us from being killed by the prophet, right?"
Richard frowned slightly, displeased, and said, "A mere prophet is nothing but an ant before the great Goddess of Flora. What's there to be afraid of? Let's go, attack the stronghold!"
He gave the order and walked toward the stronghold with his hands in his pockets, but the dashing scene he had expected did not materialize.
Logically, after giving the order, countless underlings should have surged out from behind him and attacked the spatial node. However, after he actually gave the order, he found that there was silence all around and no one responded.
Richard frowned, turning his head and shouting, "I said you can attack..."
He froze in place, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared behind him.
At this moment, his underlings were hanging in mid-air, struggling desperately. The surrounding sounds seemed to be swallowed up, and not a single sound could be heard.
They were bound by strands of silver hair that fell from the sky, seemingly spreading out from the void, tightly wrapping around their necks and suspending them in mid-air.
"This...how is this possible!?" Richard shouted in disbelief, completely bewildered by what had happened. Several fifth-tier powerhouses, who even possessed the power of the Flower Goddess as their trump card, had all been suspended in mid-air without their knowledge. What kind of bizarre story was this!?
Why not use the power of the Flower Goddess? Wouldn't using the Flower Goddess's power to be reborn through flowers get rid of these silver strands of hair?
Just as he was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a calm voice suddenly rang out from less than a meter behind him.
"You will be my scapegoat."
"What!? When!!"
Richard turned around abruptly and saw a calm, fair face. It was a very handsome face, but in Richard's eyes, it was more terrifying than a demon crawling out of hell.
He instinctively tried to back away, his figure instantly turning into a blur and disappearing from the spot, but at that moment, a fair and slender hand pierced straight through the blur, grabbed Richard's throat, and dragged him out of the blur like a dead dog.
Richard struggled desperately, trying to activate the power of the Flower Goddess to transfer it, but he was horrified to find that the power of the Flower Goddess had disappeared and had been completely devoured by Fang Xiu.
At this moment, he finally understood why his subordinates were hanging in mid-air without using the power of the Flower Goddess. It wasn't that they were stupid, but that they couldn't use it.
"You..." He struggled to speak, attempting to use the Flower Goddess to negotiate, but he had only managed to utter one word when Fang Xiu gently lifted his hand from his neck and then slammed him down.
Bang!
Richard's body crashed heavily to the ground, his gloomy eyes slowly rolling back until he finally passed out.
"Kunlun maggots".
"This old servant is here!"
"Take over this person's body, then control all his subordinates, and go to the various spatial nodes to bring back the Forbidden Body for me."
"This old servant obeys!" Kunlun Maggot said excitedly. He finally had a chance to go out on fieldwork. He had been waiting for this day for far too long.
Of course, Kunlun Maggot did not intend to use this opportunity to escape, because Fang Xiu had already intercepted some of his consciousness fragments. Knowing the terror of the power of time, he was well aware that no matter where he ran, Fang Xiu could use the power of time reversal to pull him back.
He was excited simply because he could go out and have some fun.
In fact, Kunlun Maggot is a very content person. The main reason is that he has never had a good life. Since his birth, he has been trapped in the palace where Kunlun Mirror is located. He can only play with corpses every day. After meeting Fang Xiu, he can only play with torture instruments every day. Now he can take the opportunity to go out and have some fun while doing missions. This is something that was once unattainable for him.
The Kunlun maggots immediately took over Richard's body, and then used a secret technique to turn everyone in the Ideal Land into puppets. This was a piece of cake for him. With the memories of countless powerful people, if he couldn't even do this, he would have no value in living.
After consulting with Fang Xiu, the Kunlun Maggot left with the ideal world.
Fang Xiu then turned and entered the western spatial node. At this time, the spatial node was already showing signs of disturbance, and the strange occurrences were clearly increasing.
He ignored the strange occurrences and instead reached his hand straight into the depths of the spatial node. His hand seemed to extend infinitely, crossing layers of barriers, and he grabbed an eyeball deep within the spatial node.
Forbidden Eye of the Uncanny!
As the Eye of Forbidden Ghosts was pulled out, a loud boom came from the depths of the spatial node, as if something had shattered.
That's the spatial node shattering. It used to be maintained by the Eye of Forbidden Ghosts, blocking the invasion from the other side. Now that the Eye of Forbidden Ghosts has been taken away, the spatial node naturally has only one path left: shattering.
Endless strange phenomena surged from the spatial nodes and entered the mortal world. Inevitably, a terrifying hundred-meter-long crack appeared in the void, and it showed a faint tendency to expand.
One can imagine that once these strange phenomena flooded into the West, the entire West would become a dead zone within two days.
However, Fang Xiu didn't care, because even if he didn't do that, the Westerners would still die anyway. It didn't make much difference whether they died a day earlier or a day later, since they were going to die anyway.
His purpose in doing this was to block the spatial node of the Xia Kingdom.
Previously, he took out his heart and placed it in the spatial node of the Daoist sect. The spatial node showed a clear trend of slowing down the spread. This shows that as long as there are enough forbidden bodies, the spatial node of the Xia Kingdom still has a chance to be sealed.
At that time, we can change the situation of being attacked from both inside and outside, and concentrate on dealing with the strange occurrences outside the country.
The reason why the Xia defense line collapsed so quickly last time was because it was attacked from both sides. This time, he will turn the tide.
