Ying Chong came to the back of the hall and saw Guyang, Tian Hong, and Lingdu. He landed outside the swirling green Qi, cupped his hands and said, "Ying Chong greets the three Supreme Venerables."
Gu Yangzi said, "I called you here today because You City's Dao-Guarding Instrument has been delivered. After some refinement, we can entrust it to you.
However, we still need to take care of the Cymbidium Lucidum, which is of utmost importance. Now that the Qi dynamic outside is constantly colliding, it's already close to Huanyang's location, so we can't divert too much attention. You need to be patient and wait for a few more days, then we can entrust you with a side's Dao-Guarding Instrument. "
Lingdu Daoist said, "I called you here today to ease your mind, so that you won't make a mistake in your judgment."
Ying Chong cupped his hands and said, "Previously, I was given three branches, which should be able to support me for a while. Not long ago, I trapped Zhengqing in the intertwining Heavenly Branches. If I can get help, I might be able to trap and kill this person."
The three of them did not speak.
After a while, Lingdu Daoist said, "Friend Ying, you may leave first."
Tian Hong said, "Ying Chong's vision is still shallow. Doesn't he know that the most important thing now is to look at the big picture? How can the confrontation between our two sides be based on one or two people's lives? If we don't care about the situation at the front and focus on the corners, then we'll be taking advantage of Tianxia's intentions. "
Gu Yangzi said, "Ying Chong's Daoist friend hasn't plucked the best fruit yet, so it's hard for him to see the Heavenly Design. We can't blame him for this."
The Lingdu Daoist said, "There are times when a person's strength is limited. From what I can see, Friend Ying's Qi has been stagnant recently. It is obvious that he has put all his effort into maintaining the situation. We should slow down our progress a bit. First, let's borrow the treasure that You City sent."
However, Daoist Tian Hong objected, "You City's weapon is still You City's item. Finding Huanyang school as soon as possible is the right thing to do."
Gu Yangzi thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian Hong is right. I understand Friend Ying's character. He usually leaves some leeway when he does things. This situation is far from reaching its end. If he really feels that he can't withstand it, he'll naturally come and talk to us. For now, we'll let him tire himself out first. Later, when the matter is settled, we'll compensate him."
Lingdu Daoist saw that the two of them had the same opinion and did not say anything else.
Ying Chong came out from the back hall and returned to the front hall. Actually, he had a different opinion in his heart.
He thought that since You City's treasure had arrived at this time, then it should be refined with all its might. Since Huanyang school had confirmed its possible location, a few days earlier or later wouldn't make much of a difference.
If they could use the treasure within these few days, then they would be able to trap Zhengqing in the formation. They might even be able to get rid of this enemy. The originally pressing situation would immediately be alleviated. This would also be beneficial for the future war between the two families. With one less cultivator plucking the fruit of the coexistence of reality and illusion, Tianxia's strength would be reduced by a bit.
He looked towards the Heaven Domain. At this moment, Daoist Zhengqing had already sensed something. Then, it would depend on who was faster. He stretched out his hand and pressed down. The two green branches in front of him emitted wisps of green gas and directly sent them into the Heaven Domain.
On the Qingqiong Continent, after Xuanting received Zhengqing's report, he immediately investigated the location. However, he encountered the same situation as last time. Clearly, this Heaven Domain was under the protection of the Cymbidium Lucidum.
However, with the experience of dealing with it last time, Xuanting immediately arranged for people to calculate its location. At the same time, he sent Chen Tingzhi with the Qingqiong Qi to provide assistance.
At this moment, Lin Tingzhi stood on a platform and looked at the pool of water on the platform. Within the golden liquid, there was a grayish-white broken branch.
Last time, Shangchen used the Cymbidium Lucidum to trap Shi Cheng and Long Huai. Later on, the Fang Tianyu was invaded by Chen Tingzhi. That time, it wasn't without benefits. Xuanting used the Qingqiong Qi to restore this broken branch.
This branch wasn't useless. If it was nourished by the life force of the Cymbidium Lucidum, it could be awakened for a moment. Then, it might be able to reverse the location of the main Heaven Domain.
Therefore, it wasn't completely a bad thing that Zhengqing had fallen into the trap of the green branch. If Chen Tingzhi could intercept a strand of life force this time, then perhaps the direction of the entire battle would change.
The flying boat that Zhengqing and Wei Yi were on rushed straight into the Heavenly Domain. When the clouds and mist outside separated, a vast world appeared in front of them. Clouds rolled and clouds moved, mountains and seas rose and fell, as if it was no different from the Heavenly Domain they had seen in the past.
Wei Yi looked around and saw that there was no life force here. He was slightly disappointed and said, "So it's another place where no one is around."
However, Daoist Zhengqing said, "That's not right."
As he spoke, he raised his sleeve and waved it outwards. After this action, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed, as if a layer of cover had been torn apart. The original blue sky and land disappeared without a trace, leaving only an incomparably huge green branch that stretched across the heavens and earth, extending to an endless place.
And on this branch, there were countless slender branches entwined and spiraled, and these branches were still constantly changing and extending, as if trying to fill the gaps between each other.
He said, "As expected, they were waiting for me to come here."
When Wei Zheng saw such a large army, he was also shocked. However, because he had come prepared, he was able to remain calm. After calculating in his mind, he said, "Senior Brother, the way out has been cut off. However, before we entered this place, we already sent out a message. Xuan Ting will definitely send reinforcements. These people won't be able to trap us for long."
However, Daoist Zhengqing shook his head and said, "This time, we need to get out as soon as possible, or else you and I will be trapped here. If we can't get out, I will go and free myself, and return another day."
When Wei Yi heard his serious words, he was surprised and couldn't help but think of several possibilities.
However, if Shangchen was really determined to deal with them at all costs, then it was really possible to kill the two of them. But in his opinion, if Shangchen really did so, then they would have achieved their goal of restraining this person.
He said seriously, "Senior brother, I understand."
Daoist Zhengqing looked at the sky and said, "Although the layout here is strict, it is not without flaws, or else we wouldn't have been able to enter this place. Before the sky closes, there is still a chance. Later, I will use my mana and try to force my way out of here."
Although he didn't have a Taoist treasure, he had an instrument passed down by his master. Previously, when he was expelled from Tianxia, this instrument was taken away, but this time, it was returned to him.
He stood still, and after a few breaths, a dot of clear light appeared behind him, and floated up into the sky.
This light was the size of a pellet, and it seemed to gather the essence of the sun and the moon. Strands of dazzling flowing light overflowed, like fireworks, and flowed out without restraint. When the surrounding branches touched this light, they disappeared one after another, as if they were never there.
These branches didn't really disappear, but with the help of the instrument, he could be the only one. If I don't see it, then I don't see it, and if I don't exist, then I don't exist. In this way, both sides were in a situation where they couldn't see each other, but this couldn't be maintained for too long, so they had to get out of here as soon as possible.
The flying boat that the two of them rode rushed out, and under the cover of the ball of clear light, everywhere it passed, the world seemed to melt into a hole.
Logically speaking, as a Dao Suppressing Artifact, the Green Spirit Heavenly Branch should not be restricted by this. However, it was only two broken branches that were obstructing them. Moreover, due to Ying Chong's own level of cultivation, he was unable to utilize all of the profundities within the Heavenly Branch. This was why Ying Chong was able to overshadow him.
In the Rainbow Hall, Hunkong Laozu saw this scene, and he was very afraid. He said in a low voice, "The Zhengqing Daoist is indeed impressive." He turned around and said, "Friend Ying, if we don't obstruct him, I'm afraid this person will get out."
Ying Chong looked at the Heaven Domain, and if he wanted to maintain this domain, he had to channel in more Green Spiritual Energy from the main Heaven Domain, or add the last branch. However, after he picked up the branch, he thought of something, and paused for a moment. After a while, he put it down again.
Hunkong Laozu didn't understand, and asked, "Do you have any concerns?"
Ying Chong said, "I've told you before that if we want to succeed this time, we need the Taoist treasure of You City. Without it, we can't suppress this person, but from the looks of it, we need at least ten days to get it."
Hunkong Laozu said, "With the power you have in your hands, can't you trap Zhengqing and his companion for ten days?"
Ying Chong shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. If the Cymbidium Lucidum uses up all its vitality, it can stop him and wait for the Taoist treasure to arrive. However, Zhengqing isn't alone, and there's still Xuanting behind him. If I continue to send vitality, I suspect that Xuanting will just sit and watch, and use this Qi to trace the source of this Qi."
Hunkong Laozu was shocked, and said in a low voice, "Do you mean that Xuanting will use Zhengqing's order to find me?"
Ying Chong said slowly, "If he can find us just by going to Zhengqing, do you think Tianxia will do this?"
Hunkong's expression was solemn. In his opinion, if he could sacrifice one person to win the overall situation, then Tianxia would definitely do so. He looked at Fang Tianyu and said in a low voice, "It's a pity that this is such a rare opportunity, and it's also a pity that you've set up so well."
Under Zhengqing's full power, the dazzling clear light scattered and flowed in all directions, constantly melting the branches that blocked the path, and rushed out of the heavy obstacles.
At this moment, Wei Yi suddenly felt the pressure outside his body lighten, and he was shocked to realize that he had already escaped. He calculated for a moment and realized that although it felt like only a moment had passed, eight days had actually passed.
He turned to look behind him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Senior Apprentice-Brother, Shangchen doesn't seem to have used all their strength to stop me. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."
Daoist Zhengqing said faintly, "If he didn't use all his strength, then it must be because he doesn't dare to use all his strength. If he dares to, then I'll be willing to sacrifice myself and point out the way for Tianxia to find a way to survive. "
Above the Rainbow Hall, Ying Chong saw that Zhengqing and Fang Tianyu had successfully escaped, and his heart was filled with disappointment.
His arrangement was not wrong. If Guyang and the other two had listened to him and were willing to divert their attention to the Dao Guarding Treasure, then he would have won this time's trap.
However, there were no ifs in this kind of thing. Zhengqing's escape could only mean that he was not done yet.
He reached out and cut off a small part of the two Cymbidium Lucidum, and took back the rest.
Two days later, a talisman book flew out from the inner hall. He took it and read it. When he saw the news, he should have been happy, but in the end, he sighed and said, "In the end, we're still two days late."
