Chapter 191 I'm a Professional at Stealing Kills
The shadowy figure unleashed the Black Tower magic weapon, which grew larger with the wind, and before Emperor Chengping could use the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array to imprison Zheng Ya, it flashed and covered Zheng Ya's head.
At this moment, the black tower had become four or five meters square, revealing a dark and deep black hole at its bottom, which generated a suction force that pulled Zheng Ya into the black tower.
The sudden turn of events left the surrounding cultivators who had rushed over dumbfounded.
Emperor Chengping, in a fit of rage, manipulated the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array to imprison the past: "Whoosh!"
Wherever the array's power passed, everything was crushed into dust, causing the surrounding imperial guards and cultivators to flee in terror.
The burning of houses and estates spread like a tornado, with a deafening roar.
A huge crater was revealed.
Those guards and monks who got involved died tragically, turning to ashes.
Even the shadowy figure who escaped the crushing array was startled. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and stealthily moved away.
The surviving imperial guards and cultivators in the surrounding area fell silent, and everyone fled in terror.
As for the surviving mortals, they were so frightened that they fainted.
The Fu family mansion was half destroyed by fire.
At this critical moment, Prince Rong himself escaped from the secret chamber of the main base, disguised himself as one of the secret guards, and fled eastward towards Kyoto.
However, the shadowy figure who had been monitoring the situation on the side suddenly appeared and charged straight at the body double of Prince Rong, who was being protected by the secret guards in the center.
"Kill! Capture Prince Rong alive..." one man shouted, and a hundred men drew their swords.
Upon hearing the news, the surrounding cultivators rushed to surround and block him. Seeing this, Prince Rong ordered a retreat in groups and commanded the activation of the third secret chamber to escape, drawing and diverting fire.
At the same time, battles broke out in various parts of Kyoto as people hunted down Prince Rong.
The sudden exposure of eight battles chasing Prince Rong confused Emperor Chengping, who couldn't figure out which one was actually a small battlefield started by Prince Rong himself.
Dai Quan, who was serving at the side, said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that someone is deliberately making things difficult for you, inciting the people to create chaos so that they can take advantage of the situation."
"Damn it, I saw it coming long ago. The problem is how to deal with this situation?" Emperor Chengping was extremely annoyed, regretting that his crystal reserves were insufficient and he dared not easily use crystals to suppress this chaotic army, thus losing his trump card for survival.
Besides, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array has not yet been fully repaired.
Or perhaps Xie Ming never intended to repair the great formation when he was around.
Unwittingly, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array became an empty shell. When Xie Ming controlled the array, its power was immense, but when Emperor Chengping controlled it, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array lost 40-50% of its power.
The key is that this situation cannot be exposed, otherwise Emperor Chengping is worried that if someone finds out, it may become a weakness or fatal flaw that can be targeted.
Dequan stared at the eight battle scenes on the virtual screen generated by the great formation, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said, "Your Majesty, since someone is using another person to do the dirty work, why don't you go with the flow?"
"Are you saying that all I need to do is prevent the shadowy figures from taking away Zheng Ya and Prince Rong, guard the gates, guide the cultivators to fight each other, and finally reap the benefits?" Emperor Chengping calmed down, and as he spoke, he stopped controlling the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array to reduce the consumption of crystals, and began to think about countermeasures.
Dequan laughed and said, "Your Majesty is wise and mighty. This servant was merely offering a suggestion and had not yet come up with a countermeasure, yet Your Majesty has already begun to break the deadlock and counterattack..."
"Old man, what time is it for you to still be flattering me?" Emperor Chengping scolded him for sycophancy, secretly pleased with himself. Then he changed the subject: "Do you know who the shadowy figure is?"
How did she manage to capture Zheng Ya so easily?
"Your Majesty, this chaotic situation is full of deception and suspicion. It's hard to say whether Zheng Ya is the real person who was taken away by the shadowy figure using a magic weapon." Dequan didn't believe that Zheng Ya had been taken away.
The only possibility is that Zheng Ya deliberately created a false impression, sending a substitute puppet to its death while he secretly profited from the situation.
In fact, as soon as the shadowy figure escaped the range of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array controlled by Emperor Chengping, he sensed Zheng Ya inside the Black Tower and was immediately furious: "What a cunning fox! How dare you throw out a substitute to fool me! You're courting death!"
The shadowy figure realized he had been tricked by Zheng Ya's puppet substitute, and angrily returned to the starting point. He sneaked into the underground chamber and was furious upon seeing what was inside.
The underground chamber was completely destroyed, not even a hair remained.
Without a doubt, this was the trace left by Zheng Ya, who used a substitute puppet to attract fire while secretly sneaking into the underground chamber to plunder resources.
The shadowy figure was nearly driven mad with rage, but he didn't lose his composure. He reacted swiftly, contacting his subordinates to rush to the second secret chamber and pursue Zheng Ya: "All personnel, listen to my command! Abandon all operations and give me no clues about how to track down Zheng Ya!"
"Empress Yin, your men have surrounded Prince Rong..." Just as Yin Li was about to order the arrest of Prince Rong, he received the Empress Yin's order and began to question his existence.
Wasn't the strategy to capture Prince Rong and learn the whereabouts of the seal and key a pre-arranged one?
After all, the intelligence they had was limited, and they could not yet be certain that Xie Baochai and her brother knew the whereabouts of the key. It was not yet time to finally break ties and take down the other four members of the clan to track down the whereabouts of the seal and the key.
Therefore, they chose to attack one by one, forcing the other families to panic and expose their seals and keys, and then act accordingly.
Now that Empress Yin has changed her plans to capture Prince Rong, Yinli is completely baffled.
Tracking down Zheng Ya's whereabouts is too difficult.
For more than half a year, cultivators across the world investigated Zheng Ya, only to find out that the conglomerate was his doing and that he was collecting Void Stones and many other mineral resources. They knew nothing else.
The scheme to lure Zheng Ya into attacking by threatening Prince Rong was based on the fact that Zheng Ya desperately needed the Void Stone resource.
So now that we've captured Prince Rong, it's like we've seized Zheng Ya's lifeline—his desperate need for the Void Stone. We'll have no trouble getting Zheng Ya to come knocking. How can we let him go so easily?
The shadowy figure sneered and transmitted a voice: "You bastard, are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
"Your subordinate dares not?" Yin Li replied, puzzled. Yin Hou had already flashed to his side and reprimanded him telepathically: "You dare not disobey me, yet you haven't moved?"
"Your Majesty, spare my life! I will immediately go and investigate Zheng Ya's whereabouts!" Yin Li was terrified, his body trembling as if his soul had left his body, and he ran away, fearing that he would die a terrible death if he stayed.
Empress Yin, hidden to the side, watched his departing figure and also glanced at the battle situation where the cultivator team was besieging and attacking Prince Rong: "Listen up, all of you, Zheng Ya is the one I am targeting."
As for Prince Rong, let Emperor Chengping and the powerful cultivators deal with him.
After all, you must understand one thing: Prince Rong is now trapped like a turtle in a jar, and Emperor Chengping and all the cultivators in the world will not allow him to escape from the capital.
On the contrary, Zheng Ya, with his ability to travel through space, is the one we should be wary of and capture?
The teams under "Nuo" Yinhou are going all out.
Little did they know that Zheng Ya was busy searching for resources in various underground secret chambers...
