Chapter 597 Instantly took Ling Wuchen away from the entrance to the Demon Realm
Jiang Luo's eyebrows suddenly frowned, and he cried out in a low voice: "Oh no!"
Lu Qing came closer and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Luo replied: "Ling Wuchen ran away. He was imprisoned in the Domination Alliance's prison. To be able to escape from there, there must be someone colluding with him..."
Yuan Haokun frowned: "Is there a spy?"
Jiang Luo's expression became more solemn, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "No one has ever escaped from the prison of the Domination Alliance, unless someone inside helped. Ling Wuchen is not only powerful, but also scheming. If he escapes, there will be endless troubles."
Lu Qing's face darkened and he clenched his fists. "Ling Wuchen is the master of the 2073 world line and the initiator of this rule turmoil. Once he escapes, he will definitely look for an opportunity to retaliate. Moreover, he has a lot of weaknesses in the 2073 world line. If he turns around and deals with the people here, I'm afraid there will be a lot of suffering."
Chu Jianglan walked to Jiang Luo's side and asked in a low voice: "What should we do now? Do we need to notify the other members of the Domination Alliance immediately?"
Jiang Luo nodded, quickly took out the communicator, and dialed a number: "Qi Guanrui, this is Jiang Luo. I already know about Ling Wuchen's escape. Immediately block all exits of the Domination Alliance and activate the highest level of alert. In addition, check the personnel inside the prison, especially those who have had contact with Ling Wuchen recently, and don't let any of them go!"
Qi Guanrui's steady voice came from the other end of the communicator: "Understood, I'll arrange it immediately."
After hanging up the call, Jiang Luo turned around and looked at everyone and said, "We have to rush back to the Domination Alliance immediately and investigate to see what his purpose in escaping is."
Lu Qing nodded, his expression becoming serious: "Indeed, if he escapes this time, he will definitely not let it go."
Lin Shishuang clenched his fists, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes: "Since he dares to escape, let him taste the pain of being beaten again! We are not easy to mess with!"
Chu Jianglan frowned and reminded in a low voice: "Don't forget, Ling Wuchen is connected with the demon world, and his strength is unfathomable. We must act carefully and never take it lightly."
Jiang Luo said in a deep voice: "Chu Jianglan is right. Ling Wuchen is not only powerful, but also cunning. We must be fully prepared. Lu Qing, you have consumed too much spiritual power. Take a rest and recover your strength. Everyone else should also be prepared and come with me to investigate Ling Wuchen's whereabouts!"
Everyone nodded in agreement and quickly took action. Lu Qing sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing to recover his spiritual power. Jiang Luo stood aside, looking around vigilantly to make sure there would be no accidents.
A moment later, the communicator rang again, and Qi Guanrui's voice came: "Master Tiandao! We found Ling Wuchen's trace. He is fleeing to the southwest, and it seems that he is heading to the 'Netherworld Valley'."
"Netherworld Valley?" Yuan Haokun frowned, "What is Ling Wuchen doing there?"
Jiang Luo said in a deep voice: "The Nether Valley is the legendary entrance connecting the human and demon worlds. Ling Wuchen went there, most likely to be looking for some kind of power, or to prepare to escape to the demon world and look for the person behind him."
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he spoke: "No matter what his purpose is, we can't let him succeed. Lu Qing, how are you doing?"
Lu Qing opened his eyes and stood up, his eyes gleaming with determination: "I've almost recovered, I can move now."
Jiang Luo nodded and ordered in a deep voice: "Let's go! Target - Netherworld Valley!"
Everyone quickly rushed towards the direction of the Nether Valley. Along the way, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and everyone knew in their hearts that it would be a fierce battle. They had already experienced Ling Wuchen's strength, and they were able to capture him last time, which was somewhat lucky. And this time, no one dared to guarantee that they could escape unscathed.
When we arrived at the Nether Valley, it was already dark. There was a chill in the air and the wind was blowing. The trees around us were dry and twisted, as if countless ghosts were watching us from the dark.
"Be careful, the demonic energy here is extremely strong and may affect the circulation of our spiritual power." Jiang Luo warned in a low voice.
Lu Qing nodded, concentrating on sensing his surroundings. Suddenly, his eyes focused and he whispered, "In front! I feel a powerful energy fluctuation!"
Everyone quickly moved towards the direction of the energy fluctuations, and soon, they saw Ling Wuchen. He was standing in front of an ancient altar, with his hands raised high, chanting obscure spells. On the altar, a black energy vortex was slowly spinning, as if it was going to swallow everything.
"What is he summoning!" Chu Jianglan exclaimed in a low voice.
Jiang Luo's eyes flashed with a fierce look: "We can't let him continue! Do it!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone rushed towards Ling Wuchen. However, just as they were about to get close, Ling Wuchen suddenly turned back, with a sneer on his face: "Finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
He raised his hand and a black energy barrier blocked everyone. Jiang Luo swung his sword to slash at the barrier, but found that his attack was instantly absorbed.
Jiang Luo frowned, looked at Ling Wuchen, and said, "Ling Wuchen, stop it! You did make a big mistake, but as long as you repent, you still have a chance to start over."
Ling Wuchen sneered, "Start over? Lord Tiandao, do you still remember what you said to me? You said I was the master you valued the most. You were about to die, and the position of Tiandao was vacant. You asked me if I was willing to take on this heavy responsibility!"
Jiang Luo frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered that he had indeed said this to Ling Wuchen.
At that time, the 2073 world line had just been created for less than two thousand years, and it was still a brand new world line. Ling Wuchen appeared in front of him with unstoppable force. He really had high hopes for him at that time.
At that time, his soul lamp still had about a thousand years left. Even if he used his spiritual power carefully, it would be good if it could last for fifteen hundred years!
So he was very happy to see such a fresh force, and he came up with the idea of letting him take over.
However, he later discovered a huge flaw in Ling Wuchen, which was his recklessness.
Heaven is ruthless and treats all things as straw dogs. Although Ling Wuchen is powerful, he will do anything to break through the bottleneck again and again, which can easily hurt others and even more easily hurt himself.
So he gave up the idea, had several in-depth talks with him, and suggested that he reincarnate several times so that he could slowly get rid of his bad habit of being eager for quick success and instant benefits.
Later on, he did as he was told, but the effect was not as good as he had imagined.
At that time, he had also begun to think of other ways, to find the purest spiritual energy in each world line, to create a body for them, and then to set the most severe disasters for them, so that they could reach the peak step by step.
In the end, only one was chosen, and that person was Gu Ying.
That’s right, Gu Ying was actually the heir chosen by Jiang Luo step by step, but he was deeply trapped in the tribulation of love, and every time he took the last step, he ended in failure.
Jiang Luo thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out where the mistake was, so he stepped into the game himself and tried to find a solution.
Unexpectedly, he tried nine times and failed each time, so he messed up the chess board randomly, just wanting to try one last time.
If he fails again, he can only settle for the second best and let the most respected ruler of world line 0002 take over from him.
Unexpectedly, this entry caused so much trouble. Although it was successful in the end, it also brought endless troubles.
Jiang Luo sighed and said, "Is power so important to you?"
Ling Wuchen's laughter echoed in the Nether Valley, carrying endless ridicule and unwillingness: "Important? Lord Tiandao, what are you talking about? Power has never been the most important to me. What I want is strength! The power to change everything! I don't want a stable world, but a world that allows me to break through my limits!"
Jiang Luo's brows furrowed more and more, and he looked at Ling Wuchen deeply. Although he knew that Ling Wuchen was unwilling to give up, he didn't expect that his obsession with power was so deep.
"Ling Wuchen, you are wrong." Jiang Luo's voice was deep and powerful. "Power is never used to destroy and control. Real power is for protection, for balance, and for creating a better world. You were once my most respected successor, but you were blinded by your own power."
"Protect? Balance?" Ling Wuchen's laughter became even more rampant. "Lord Tiandao, you are too naive! This world is a place where the strong prey on the weak, the strong survive and the weak die. This is the eternal truth! Your so-called protection and balance are nothing but wishful thinking! Look at your chosen heir, Gu Ying. He has failed again and again because of that ridiculous love tribulation. The power in his hands is nothing but a decoration!"
Jiang Luo's eyes flickered slightly, and Gu Ying's name stirred a little in his heart. He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Gu Ying does have his weaknesses, but he understands the true meaning of strength better than you. He has experienced countless disasters, but he still sticks to his heart. This is the character that the heir of the Heavenly Dao should have. Unfortunately... he still failed..."
“Character?” Ling Wuchen sneered, “Lord Tiandao, you underestimate me too much. I admit that Gu Ying does have some abilities, but he is just a coward trapped by love! And I am the one who is qualified to master power!”
Jiang Luo's voice was still calm, but there was a hint of coldness in his tone: "Ling Wuchen, you have been blinded by your own power. I have given you countless chances, but you have never truly repented. Today, I will not let you continue to make mistakes."
Ling Wuchen's eyes flashed with madness. He suddenly raised his hand, and black energy condensed at his fingertips, forming a sharp blade: "Master Tiandao, you want to stop me? Then give it a try! Let's see whether your way of balance is more useful, or my dark power is better!"
Before he finished speaking, Ling Wuchen suddenly rushed towards Jiang Luo, and the black blade pierced his chest. Jiang Luo quickly raised his hand, and a golden spiritual power barrier blocked in front of him, but Ling Wuchen's attack was unstoppable, and the barrier was shattered in an instant.
"Be careful!" Lu Qing suddenly rushed forward and punched Ling Wuchen, forcing him to take two steps back.
"Lu Qing, you finally can't help but take action?" Ling Wuchen sneered, his eyes full of contempt, "Although your strength is good, it is not enough to compete with me!"
Lu Qing stared at Ling Wuchen coldly, his tone firm: "Ling Wuchen, your ambition is nothing but a meaningless struggle. Lord Tiandao has given you countless chances, but you have never cherished them. Today, I will let you understand what real power is!"
After he finished speaking, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and a golden spiritual light column shot up into the sky, directly hitting Ling Wuchen. Ling Wuchen snorted coldly, and the black energy formed a shield around him, blocking Lu Qing's attack.
"Lu Qing, your strength has indeed improved, but it is still far from enough!" Ling Wuchen suddenly raised his hand, and the black energy condensed into countless spikes, rushing straight towards Lu Qing.
As the two were fighting fiercely, Jiang Luo slowly stepped forward and looked at Ling Wuchen with deep eyes: "Ling Wuchen, turn back! You have gone too far."
Ling Wuchen turned his head suddenly and sneered, "Master Tiandao, are you finally going to do it yourself?"
Jiang Luo did not speak, but raised his hand, and a brilliant golden light burst out from his palm, hitting Ling Wuchen directly. Ling Wuchen was caught off guard and was hit by this light. His body suddenly flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
“Cough——” Ling Wuchen spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of unwillingness, “Master Tiandao’s power… is still so strong…”
Jiang Luo walked up to him and said calmly: "Ling Wuchen, this is the last chance I will give you. Let go of your obsession and return to the right path."
A trace of struggle flashed across Ling Wuchen's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by madness: "No! I have come this far and will not turn back! Even if I am defeated by you, I will still go to destruction with my beliefs!"
Jiang Luo sighed, with a hint of disappointment in his tone: "Since you are stubborn, I can only end it all."
After he finished speaking, he put his hands together, and a huge golden spiritual power vortex gathered behind him. Just as the power of heaven was about to swallow Ling Wuchen, a black figure attacked in the next second and instantly took Ling Wuchen away from the entrance of the demon world and fled towards the depths of the demon world.
