Chapter 213 I was prepared for this day long ago.
Xie Wanxun opened her eyes wide in shock and asked in confusion, "Why?"
“Sister, you should have seen those hundreds of puppets when you entered Senior Sister Zhong’s consciousness space earlier. I just counted them, and there were exactly two hundred and four. You said before that two hundred and four members of the Zhong family also died at the hands of Shen Yuan. So, those two hundred and four puppets are all the members of the Zhong family.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Wanxun's breath caught in her throat, and she froze completely.
"So, Senior Sister Zhong preferred to be harmed by the puppets rather than retaliate. That's because she couldn't bring herself to harm her former family. Sister, look at these two hundred and four formations here. Rather than being a means for Senior Sister Zhong to prevent herself from exploding and affecting others, they are more like symbols representing how she trapped her consciousness with the deaths of her family. If we don't find a way soon, Senior Sister Zhong might very well fall into demonic possession," Xie Wanning said hurriedly.
She couldn't communicate with Zhong Yingxiu in Zhong Yingxiu's consciousness space because the hundreds of magic arrays shielded Zhong Yingxiu, preventing her from leaving her own consciousness. Since the puppets and Shen Yuan couldn't harm outsiders, and considering the hundreds of arrays could shield against the effects of an explosion, it's highly likely that these were magic arrays deliberately placed by Zhong Yingxiu to prevent her inner demons from harming others.
Zhong Yingxiu never intended to save herself; she was already prepared to follow in the footsteps of the Zhong family and die with them. Therefore, being killed by the puppet was, in fact, Zhong Yingxiu's own choice.
The cheerful Zhong Yingxiu was ultimately a facade, and the pain hidden in her heart for nearly ten years was completely exposed in the illusion under the pressure of her inner demons.
Xie Wanning's face grew increasingly pale. She had just been seen by Shen Yuan, a demon in her heart, which meant that the demon was already powerful enough, and that Senior Sister Zhong was about to be corrupted by it.
Only by breaking all the formations can one speak with Zhong Yingxiu.
“You’re right.” Xie Wanxun nodded in agreement and said, “Look at this core formation. It looks like a shielding formation, but in reality, when combined with the two hundred and four formations outside, they can become an incredibly powerful sealing formation. I was wondering why Zhong Yingxiu set up a sealing formation before, but now it seems that it was to seal away her own impending demonic transformation.”
"Then let's break the formation quickly." Xie Wanning lifted her foot to head towards the core formation.
“It’s too late. To break the core formation, we must break all 204 formations. Otherwise, you won’t find the core of the core formation. But now there are so many formations, and they are all of a high level. Even if we can find the core quickly, it will be impossible to break all the formations in less than half a day,” Xie Wanxun said with a frown, tugging at Xie Wanning’s sleeve.
"But, sister, we can't do nothing. Otherwise, Senior Sister Zhong will really fall into demonic possession." Xie Wan Ning stamped her foot anxiously, her eyes filled with worry and unease.
"But, little sister, there's never just one way to break the formation." Xie Wanxun patted Xie Wanning's head, a confident glint in her eyes.
Xie Wanxun looked into Xie Wanning's eyes and chuckled, "Sister, we are both sword cultivators, so there's no need to break the core of the formation. The so-called formation is nothing more than a fancy facade built with spiritual energy."
"Field, open!"
The black mist spread out, instantly enveloping the entire illusion, while Xie Wanxun, holding Xie Wanning by the collar, flew directly outside the domain.
"Sister, you've included the entire illusion within your domain?!"
"No, it's devouring, as simple as devouring a secret realm. Sister, with one strike, all those formations are surrounded by my domain. With just one strike, those formations will explode along with my domain!" Excitement flashed in Xie Wanxun's eyes.
But what about Senior Sister Zhong, who is inside the domain? Sister, can your domain really be destroyed?
Countless questions flashed through Xie Wanning's mind, but she didn't speak. Instead, she gripped the Luoze sword tightly in her hand.
Since it's her older sister, she'll naturally believe everything she says.
"Ice crack!"
"boom!"
The entire domain was shattered, exploding with deafening explosions and dazzling light, shaking almost the entire secret realm.
Only a plume of black smoke remained in place.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Xie Wanxun rushed into the black smoke without waiting, while Xie Wanning reluctantly followed on her sword.
……
They can't be killed, they can't be killed at all.
Si Jinchuan's eyes flashed with a scarlet light, the knife in his hand was already stained with blood, his body was covered in wounds, and he exuded a faint demonic aura.
The demonic cultivators swarmed in, rushing towards Si Jinchuan time and time again.
"Ji Yun, are you done yet? I can't hold on much longer." Si Jinchuan shouted back as he fought desperately.
Ji Yun stood up, put a hand on Si Jinchuan's shoulder, his eyes were lifeless, and he said with despair, "Sect Master, my father is still dead. I couldn't save him."
Ji Yun looked at the crazed demonic cultivators, a cruel smile playing on his lips: "Sect Master, I won't trouble you. Leave these to me."
Si Jinchuan felt a heavy pat on his back. He immediately realized that it was Ji Yun who had put a talisman on him.
"Zero, you can't beat so many demonic cultivators." Si Jinchuan reached out, trying to grab Ji Yun, but only managed to grab empty air.
In the blink of an eye, Si Jinchuan arrived outside the illusion.
"Damn it! None of them listen to orders!" Si Jinchuan roared angrily, clenching his fists, veins bulging on his forehead.
"boom!"
Si Jinchuan looked up and saw a huge plume of black smoke dissipate.
Shocked, he couldn't help but chuckle softly. The commotion over there was quite loud; he couldn't afford to fall behind.
Si Jinchuan turned around and stepped into Lin Jingquan's illusion.
In the illusion, Lin Jingquan knelt on the ground, facing Ji Yun, who had no expression on his face.
"Lin Jingquan, why did you lie to me?"
"sorry Sorry……"
Lin Jingquan, who was usually the center of attention, covered his face, choked back tears, and apologized, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"Then go to hell!"
A talisman was thrown, but it was cut in half by a single stroke.
Si Jinchuan swung his sword at the inner demon, but Lin Jingquan blocked it. He shook his head resolutely and said, "Sect Master, please don't hurt Brother Ji."
"He's a fake. He's just a demon in his heart," Si Jinchuan said coldly.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jingquan simply lowered his head and said calmly, "I know."
Afterwards, Lin Jingquan protected his inner demons even more tightly.
Si Jinchuan could only smile wryly. He had to put on a stern face and say, "Seven, the real Ji Yun is about to fall into demonic possession. Don't you want to help him?"
Lin Jingquan was silent for a moment, then turned around and threw ten Rank 8 Explosive Talismans at the inner demon, which immediately vanished into thin air.
He looked at Si Jinchuan with a firm gaze: "Take me to find Brother Ji. Pavilion Master, please excuse my earlier rudeness."
"It's alright. However, you should be prepared; your secret may not be able to be kept quiet any longer." Si Jinchuan sighed softly, glancing worriedly at Lin Jingquan: "I can't guarantee that Ji Yun will go easy on you."
Lin Jingquan took a deep breath before saying, "I've been prepared for this day for a long time. Even if I die, it will be worth it as long as I can help Brother Ji."
Si Jinchuan felt somewhat helpless, unsure of what kind of situation the Ji Yun and Lin Jingquan brothers would face.
Fighting, or reconciliation.
