Chapter 199: Sealing Langju_4
If it hadn't been for the people frantically fleeing out of the city amidst confusion, most of whom were now scattered across the wild mountains and hills, confirming a great escape had just occurred, one might still believe that nothing had happened and it was all merely a nightmare brought by a natural disaster.
"This..."
"Are we saved?!"
"Heaven has opened its eyes, Heaven has opened its eyes!"
"Yes!"
"It must be immortals from above!"
"It's the immortals of heaven, the immortals who couldn't bear to watch, so they intervened to save us!"
"Quick, everyone, quick, kneel and kowtow!"
"..."
"It wasn't immortals."
From among the crowd, Chen Yunxi called out in a sweet voice, "It was my father."
"Your father?"
The nearby villagers turned their gaze, "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about? It was clearly the immortals from above that intervened. Who is your father?"
"My father is Chen, named Sansi,"
Chen Yunxi answered.
"Yunxi, you, what are you saying?"
Sun Li asked, "How do you know it, it was my junior brother's doing?"
"Yunxi felt it."
"Yes!"
Sun Buqi came to his senses, "I remember now, Sansi was also leading a group outside, Hongze Camp, it was Hongze Camp! That Life Gate which opened and then closed, it was the Elder Brother, it was directly Sansi and his Hongze Camp who terminated the Blood Sacrifice Array!"
"It's done!"
"Sansi did it!"
...
"This..."
Cao Huan, with disheveled hair, and several generals who were present had just witnessed the scene.
No one knew how much time had passed.
He finally spoke with lingering fear, "This, what was this?"
"General Chen, it could only have been General Chen!"
Zhao Wuji, drenched in cold sweat, gradually regained his composure, "Only General Chen, by destroying the main Array Eye at Yin Mountain, could have stopped the Blood Sacrifice Array at the last moment!"
"It seems..."
Fang Qingyun let out a breath, "General Chen has won."
"Yin Mountain?"
Cao Huan stood up with the help of an eunuch, "You mean, General Chen, at the Profound Image Realm, led his division of more than ten thousand men from Hongze Camp, won the battle at the onyx river and then moved north, and then conquered Langju Xu Mountain?!"
"There, there are at least five Martial Saints!"
"Plus an army of a hundred thousand!"
"And the monsters of Wushen Sect."
"It's not that I doubt General Chen's capabilities, but on paper, how could that possibly be?"
"Perhaps..."
Cheng Wei, the second senior brother, spoke up, "Maybe my junior brother broke through to the Martial Saint Realm on the way?"
"Broke through to Martial Saint?"
Cao Huan was incredulous, "He only advanced to Profound Image how long ago? How many people are stuck in the Perfect Profound Phenomenon for a lifetime, and he, in just two months, advanced to Martial Saint as well?"
"Okay, even if he advanced to Martial Saint."
"Near the Barbarian Capital, there still need to be five Martial Saints!"
"It's also possible..."
Zhao Wuji analyzed, "Maybe they themselves had some issues that caused the formation to stop operating?"
Actually.
Rather than credit Chen Sansi.
They were more inclined to believe the latter assumption.
Because...
Destroying the main Array Eye with just one man and a small force of soldiers was simply an impossible task.
"No matter what, the crisis in Liangzhou seems to have been resolved,"
Cheng Wei said, "As for General Chen's whereabouts, I believe we'll have an answer soon."
...
Luotian Mountain Range.
Shao Yujing and Wen Zhi had long been prepared to die.
Then, the scene that everyone witnessed occurred.
"Impossible?!"
Within the boundary.
Deng Immortal's eyes were about to burst: "How could this be? Yi Leide, haven't you figured it out yet? What are your people even doing?!"
The Wushen Sect Leader immediately took out a sound transmission talisman, trying to get in touch with the High Priest.
However, the only response he received was dead silence.
"How could this be?"
Yi Leide looked utterly baffled: "Impossible! Could the sound transmission talisman be broken?!"
"Your Majesty..."
Equating to being resurrected from death, the eunuch's emotions were somewhat agitated: "Heaven bless Your Majesty, heaven bless our Great Sheng Dynasty!"
Only one breath away.
Emperor Longqing, who was about to make use of the Dragon Abyss Sword, stood still, observing the changes in the heavenly phenomena, without making any rash moves.
A hint of satisfaction flashed through the aged eyes of Sun Xiangzong.
"Hehe, it seems the disciple I took in before my death has turned out to be the greatest merit of my life."
"Do you mean,"
Emperor Longqing paused, "that Chen Sansi did it?"
"Whether he did or not, you will soon find out."
Sun Xiangzong supported himself on a tree trunk to stand up: "Now that the Blood Sacrifice Array is broken, shouldn't you hurry and seal the Slaughter Vein?"
...
You State.
Lv Ji, severely injured, upon seeing the Life Gate he had struggled to open close again, reached the peak of frustration, but then... he saw, the Blood Sacrifice Array, stopped!
Up ahead in Liangzhou, normality was restored!
"The Blood Sacrifice Array, how could this be?!"
The expressions of a few Ancient Demon Cultivators turned extremely unsightly in an instant.
The failure of the Blood Sacrifice Array meant there weren't enough living beings to prematurely activate the Slaughter Vein, their effort wasted!
"No good!"
Wen Ji gritted his teeth: "It's the main array eye at Langjuxu Mountain!"
"Waste!"
"All of these people are complete waste!"
"Langjuxu Mountain is at least ten thousand miles from here!"
"Moreover, didn't they have only one Mid-stage Transcendent Martial Artist? Even if he suddenly broke through to the later stage, how could he possibly have affected the grand array?!"
"..."
"Is it the Junior Brother?!"
Lv Ji knelt on one knee on the ground, listening to their conversation.
Where could he still be unclear about what happened?
The thing he had not done.
Had Chen Sansi...
...done it?
"Giggle hahaha~"
With mocking laughter echoing in his mind, Lv Ji shook his head, maintaining his clarity of consciousness.
"The Blood Sacrifice Array is broken, what now?"
The Ancient Demon Cultivators looked somewhat at a loss.
"Yes, without the Blood Sacrifice Array, the revival of the Slaughter Vein is indefinitely delayed!"
"Who knows how long we'll have to wait."
"..."
"Let's go!"
Wen Ji quickly made a decision.
Since the Slaughter Vein could not be revived, what point was there in staying in the Eastern Continent?
