Tan Tao said worriedly, "But from what those two said just now, Shang Chi is also involved. They might even be the mastermind. This is going to be troublesome. "
Yang Qingxuan thought for a moment. "It can't be that Ye Tao is making such a big move to avenge his son, right?"
Tan Tao shook his head. "It can't be that. Although you killed Ye Mingchuan, Ye Tao hates you to the bone. But to Wang Ba Xiongtu, what's a son's death? Shang Chi must be after something bigger. Perhaps it's the five nations' territory! "
The other six people were shocked.
Yang Qingxuan said, "Plotting for the five nations' territory is a bit too greedy. Shang Chi alone probably can't do it, right? And this Evil Wind Mercenary Corps or whatever, who knows where they came from. Do they have the power to contend with the four nations? "
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something and fell into deep thought.
Tan Tao shook his head. "I've followed His Highness the Crown Prince for a long time and know that the five nations are in a delicate balance. This balance is that there hasn't been an Earth Realm expert in the five nations for hundreds of years. "
Yang Qingxuan's expression changed slightly, and his heart shook. "You mean, once an Earth Realm expert appears, this delicate balance will be broken?!"
Wan Fei's figure floated into his mind.
That day on Divine Sonar Mountain, when the two of them had played the zither, Wan Fei's aura was even greater than Qing Buli's.
Tan Tao nodded. "That's right. Once a nation has an Earth Realm expert, this balance will be broken very quickly, and it might even lead to a war between the five nations. "
Yang Qingxuan said in a low voice, "This is bad. If, and I'm saying if, Shang Chi has an Earth Realm expert, then they're planning to invade the other four nations. And for this Five Nation Grand Tournament, nearly half of each nation's experts are gathered at Heaven Consort Academy. "
Yin Yao said in shock, "You mean, they'll gather all of Heaven Consort Academy's experts in one fell swoop?"
Yang Qingxuan said, "The goal should be to catch them all in one net, but it's impossible to catch them all in one net. At this moment, there were at least twenty to thirty origin realm cultivators in the academy. No matter how heaven-defying an earth realm cultivator was, he couldn't fight twenty to thirty origin realm cultivators at the same time. They had to split up and attack. And the space that shielded this One-Line-Sky is a very good primer. "
Yang Qingxuan worriedly raised his head and looked at the clear blue sky. He didn't know how the Evil Wind Mercenaries had blocked this space.
Understanding dawned on Tan Tao as well, and his expression changed drastically. "Once the space here is sealed off, it'll definitely cause anxiety and unease within the academy. It might even lead to conflict. As long as the people from Shang Chi Kingdom instigate a few things in the middle, it will be very easy to achieve. "
Yin Yao reacted as well. Her face was pale as she said, "Moreover, this conflict is definitely directed at my Heavenly Consort Academy because we're the hosts of this competition."
The few of them spoke one after another, guessing most of the situation. The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, but there was nothing they could do.
Yin Yao asked, "What do we do now?"
Everyone fell silent, at their wit's end.
Furthermore, based on the current situation, the Grand Competition was already meaningless.
Tan Tao said, "I suggest we turn back immediately and use the transportation formation to return to the academy and expose Shang Chi Kingdom's scheme."
He was loyal and devoted to Jingyun Kingdom. His first reaction was to inform the crown prince, Du Zhengzhen, after learning that something was wrong. He would do anything for this.
Yang Qingxuan shook his head. "That's not realistic. If I'm not wrong, the five transportation formations in the One-Line-Sky have all been destroyed. It'll take at least three to four days to return from the exit. And there's probably people from the Evil Wind Mercenaries guarding the exit. Those two were talking about some 'Lord Kong Di' just now. I'm afraid it's an even more powerful existence. "
Yang Qingxuan's words left everyone at a loss. They all hung their heads dejectedly.
Yin Yao said, "This won't work, that won't work. Qing Xuan, tell us, what should we do now?"
Yang Qingxuan thought deeply and said, "First, we must understand that if it's really a war that engulfs the five countries, we're just pawns and can't play a big role. The elders of the academy and the powerhouses of the empire are much more powerful than us, so we don't need to be dejected. Second, the purpose of the Evil Wind Mercenaries is to eradicate us all. As long as we're alive, we'll be a disturbance to them. If I'm not wrong, that 'Lord Kong Di' will definitely send people to deal with us after finding out that these two people are dead. In this way, we'll be able to disperse their strength, which will more or less play a role. "
Lu Yifan's eyes lit up, and his originally gloomy expression was swept away. He said, "Qing Xuan is right. If we live well, we'll have a positive impact on the whole situation and cause them trouble. If we can eliminate a few of their powerhouses in the realm of origin martial arts, we'll be even more useful. "
Tan Tao said, "I don't know when they'll send people over."
Yang Qingxuan said, "We can find Shangguan Haitang and Zhou Cheng first. There's strength in numbers. As long as we explain the situation, they'll no longer be enemies. As for the Evil Wind Mercenaries, if they don't come to us, we can go to them. At the entrance of One-Line Sky, they've most likely arranged something. We can take the initiative to go there. "
"That's right!"
Yang Qingxuan's proposal was immediately approved by everyone.
Tan Tao said, "Why don't we act separately? This way, the probability of finding Shangguan Haitang and Zhou Cheng will be higher. Then we can agree on a place to gather."
Yang Qingxuan rejected, "No! If we encounter the Evil Wind Mercenaries, no one has the ability to fight alone. Also, Shangguan Haitang is a madman. God knows what he's thinking. If his idea is different from ours, it'll be dangerous. "
Tan Tao thought for a moment and said, "That's right. But One-Line Sky is so big. To find a few people is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Yang Qingxuan said, "There's no other way. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to find the needle, but we may also sink without a trace."
Tan Tao's face revealed a difficult expression. In the end, he seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try that martial soul."
"What?"
Several people were stunned. They didn't understand what he was talking about.
Tan Tao squatted down. He spread the five fingers of his right hand and placed it on the ground. He said, "I've seen a person's martial soul before. It's called 'Ant'."
"Ant?"
The six people all revealed strange expressions.
Tan Tao nodded and said, "This martial soul is very powerful. It can break down a person's soul light into countless ants to attack. However, it's very harsh on the person's cultivation and soul power. It requires an extremely huge amount of True Essence to maintain."
While speaking, the soul light on Tan Tao's body lit up. That soul light turned into tiny ants and climbed down from his arm. They crawled along his five fingers to the ground. Then, they quickly scattered in all directions.
