Yun Teng swung his sword, the blade energy splitting the sky and cleaving the earth, its power overwhelming as it slashed towards the Bixi Tianjin Pagoda.
This strike was relentless, causing even the void to tremble and tearing open a dark crack.
Jiang Yi appeared in front of the blade energy with a solemn expression. His sword light was dazzling. The sword energy, enhanced by his perfected sword intent, was devastating and shattered the blade energy. The scattered blade energy and sword energy bombarded the ground, leaving the ground within a radius of several miles riddled with holes.
"Yun Teng, what do you mean by this?"
Jiang Yi coldly watched Yun Teng. Although Yun Teng, as a member of the same camp, could not harm his teammates, he could attack the Bixi Tianjin Tower to interfere with Ye Chen, forcing them to take action to defend themselves, which would also deplete their strength.
"Haha, you've been tricked."
Yun Teng and the other three stood aside and laughed loudly, "I never intended to help Ye Chen. He is an enemy of my clan, Yunmeng. How could I possibly help him sincerely? I was just acting before. If I didn't act convincingly, how could I gain Ye Chen's trust and become his teammate?"
These words were not meant for Jiang Yi's ears, but rather for Yun Meng's. Whether Yun Meng believed them or not, at least this would give both sides some room to reconcile and allow the Yun family a chance to win Yun Meng back.
Outside the Seven Absolutes Pagoda.
Upon hearing Yun Teng's words, Yunlan Saint Master, who had been extremely depressed, was overjoyed. Although he didn't know if Yun Teng was really acting, Yun Teng's timely change of stance at a crucial stage undoubtedly brought about a turning point in the situation.
"Yunmeng, you've misunderstood Yunteng. He wasn't really trying to help Ye Chen; he was just putting on an act to gain Ye Chen's trust. Luckily, he betrayed you at the crucial moment. He's always been on your side!"
The Holy Lord of Yunlan spoke to Yunmeng in a gentle tone. He had tried to win Yunmeng back many times before, but no matter what he said or how big his promises were, Yunmeng remained unmoved and determined to sever ties with the Yun family.
"As long as he still believes that Chi Yuan is involved with the demonic path, I will not forgive him."
Yunmeng said coldly, what she cared about was not whether Yun Teng betrayed Ye Chen, but whether Yun Teng slandered Chi Yuan.
Of course, what's more important is Yunlan Holy Land's attitude towards Chi Yuan. Unless Yunlan Holy Land completely believes that Chi Yuan has no connection with the demonic path and stands on Chi Yuan's side, her attitude will not change.
Lord Yunlan had a headache. If he had known earlier that Yunmeng had quasi-god-level talent, he would have believed her even if she swore an oath with her blood essence to testify that Chi Yuan had not been possessed by a demonic cultivator, or even if she said that Chi Yuan was a reincarnation of a god.
Now he can only hope that Yun Teng will be smarter and change his opinion of Chi Yuan in time. Otherwise, unless he cuts ties with Yun Teng, even if he changes his stance, he will not be able to eliminate the resentment in Yun Meng's heart and make Yun Meng accept the identity of the Yun clan.
Inside the Seven Absolutes Pagoda.
Upon hearing Yun Teng's words, Jiang Yi and Wu Ban's expressions turned ugly. They never expected Yun Teng to be a double agent, something they hadn't noticed at all before.
What should we do now?
They could barely hold their own against two against four, but now that it's two against five, they can't handle it even if they fight with their lives on the line.
“Fellow Daoists, due to the rules, I cannot attack the two of them. I can only target the Bixi Tianjin Pagoda. Please help me hold them off while I go and destroy the pagoda.”
Yun Teng then turned and called out to You Rong, Qing Yan, and the other three.
"Didn't you suspect that Chi Yuan was a member of the demonic path? Now you're helping him deal with Ye Chen, isn't that aiding and abetting evil, eliminating a future leader of the righteous path for the demonic path?"
You Rongqingxian did not trust Yun Teng and suspected that Yun Teng was feigning defection and wanted to launch a sneak attack at a crucial moment.
Upon hearing this, Yun Teng's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "I was just joking earlier. Although I don't know much about Chi Yuan, how could someone who could make Yun Meng swear an oath with her blood essence to testify for him really be a member of the demonic path? I only said that to gain Ye Chen's trust before. Now I can show you my true attitude. I, Yun Teng, believe that Chi Yuan is innocent!"
These were his true thoughts at that moment. After all, if Chi Yuan was truly a member of the demonic path, how could Yun Meng dare to swear an oath with her blood essence? For someone with quasi-god-level talent, the backlash would be severe.
Upon hearing this, You Rongqingxian was speechless. Yun Teng's willingness to express his belief in Chi Yuan at this time was undoubtedly a great risk, and he was unlikely to be lying.
“Yunmeng, look, Yunteng believes Chi Yuan is innocent. Now you should be able to forgive him, right?”
Lord Yunlan looked at Yunmeng with a happy expression, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yun Teng was clever, and Yunmeng's attitude should have changed now.
"Who knows if he's being sincere?"
Yunmeng's tone softened slightly, but her attitude remained unchanged; she wanted to see how the Yun family would behave next.
At this moment, a new round of fierce fighting broke out in the tower.
Rong Qingyan and Feng Ge joined forces to deal with the stronger Jiang Yi, while Rong Qingxian and Yan Li fought against Wu Ban. The two sides were locked in a stalemate, with one side attacking and the other defending.
With Jiang Yi and Wu Ban restrained, and no one to stop Yun Teng, he immediately took out a Venerable-level offensive magic weapon, unleashed his full power, and fiercely bombarded the Bixi Tianjin Pagoda.
Click!
Under Yun Teng's full-force attack, the seven-colored protective shield surrounding the Bixi Tianjin Pagoda quickly developed cracks. Before long, with a crisp cracking sound, the seven-colored protective shield shattered.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Yun Teng began to bombard the Bixi Tianjin Pagoda.
Inside the Bixi Tianjin Pagoda, Ye Chen was frantically refining the spiritual power fed back by the Hate Heaven Gu, and his cultivation level had already risen to the fifth level of the Spirit Sect.
Rumble—
At that moment, the space inside the tower suddenly began to shake violently, and the shockwave directly jolted Ye Chen out of his cultivation state.
He quickly summoned a large bell and covered himself with it, thus isolating himself from the shockwaves inside the tower.
Ye Chen dared not waste any time and entered a state of cultivation once again.
On the other side.
The battle between Chi Yuan and Gui Ying has entered a heated phase.
"Explode!"
Chi Yuan summoned a mid-grade sixth-rank spiritual weapon, and the "Soldier" seal on his palm shone with crimson light as he unleashed the advanced technique of the "Soldier" secret, the Art of Exploding Soldiers.
The Art of Exploding Weapons is a secret military technique that attacks by destroying and detonating magical artifacts. It is extremely powerful. Detonating a single low-grade sixth-rank magical artifact can achieve the power of a peak Spirit Master. If multiple artifacts are detonated together, a chain explosion can occur, with power approaching that of a Spirit Venerable.
boom!
The ghostly figure was currently trapped by Chi Yuan's spatial confinement and could not escape. It could only defend itself with a defensive magic weapon. In its hand was a Venerable-level magic weapon bestowed by the royal family. After consuming 10% of its spiritual power to activate it, it easily withstood the explosive power of the magic weapon, which was comparable to the full-force attack of a half-step Spirit Venerable.
We can't delay any longer.
Seeing that Ye Chen was in a bad situation, Guiying decisively used this Venerable-level defensive magic treasure to cover himself, and then began to break through to the Spirit Venerable realm.
