Chapter 407: Falling Into a Trap

Since the spiritual storm started in the Refining Furnace Wasteland, a third-level evil vein in the center of the wasteland has completed the sublimation from the third level to the fourth level with the help of this. The subsequent changes are almost the same as what happened in the Giant Wilderness.

All the third-level monsters, as well as those who chose to lie dormant because of the re-emergence of the Star Palace, have flocked to this area after the sublimation.

It is also not surprising that with the arrival of the four Yuanying of the Star Palace, all the boiling and enthusiasm are "extinguished".

The four Yuanying True Lords used the toughest means to make this area, which was extremely crowded not long ago, empty again.

Then, with the release of another twelve formation flags, a thick black fog covered the entire area that had completed the sublimation and advancement to the fourth level.

Compared with the time in the Giant Wilderness, the four Yuanying True Lords appeared in the Refining Furnace Wasteland earlier, acted more decisively, and handled it more efficiently.

But the four people did not have a trace of high spirits on their faces. Instead, the gloomy look like a dark cloud thickened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If the first incident that occurred in the Juye Wasteland only made them think of a more serious possibility, then the huge changes that occurred in the Lianluo Wasteland almost confirmed their guesses in their hearts-

Is such an incident limited to the two wastelands of Juye and Lianlu?

The answer to this question is very clear in the minds of the four people.

When dealing with the huge changes in the Lianluo Wasteland, the four people thought most about the other six wastelands that had not yet undergone huge changes.

And the situation did not exceed their expectations.

Just as they had just completed the treatment of the Lianluo Wasteland and returned to Xingxiu Sea, the Lingyue Wasteland received another urgent bad news.

This time, the last bit of extravagant thoughts in the hearts of the four people were also severely shattered.

The four people all had a very clear judgment in their hearts-such a huge change could not be an accident, it must be man-made!

Moreover, the purpose of the big hand behind all this is still unknown, but one thing is clear, that is, the four Yuanying Zhenjuns standing at the top of the Xingxiu Palace are being manipulated like chess pieces and puppets!

They are acting under the will of that unknown existence, telling them to go east and west.

Undoubtedly, this is an experience that makes people feel suffocated and want to vomit blood.

But what is more suffocating is that they have to obey such manipulation!

Imagine what the consequences will be if they ignore it?

The nearly two hundred years of closure of the Xingxiu Palace has given the Outer Realm an unprecedented opportunity for development.

How many cultivators in the Outer Realm have taken this opportunity to reach the peak of the Jindan realm?

Not to mention those non-Xingxiu Palace cultivators who had already reached the peak of the Jindan realm before the Xingxiu Palace was closed!

Originally, due to the innate limitations of various wastelands, the peak of the Jindan realm was the limit they could reach.

They will spend their lives at the peak of Jindan, and there will be no possibility of further progress.

Now, an opportunity that allows them to break through Jindan and enter Yuanying is in front of them!

Just put yourself in their shoes and you will know how far they can go to seize such an opportunity.

Even if the success rate of a hasty breakthrough is slim, as long as there are enough people who are not afraid of death, there will always be lucky ones who can successfully land!

Not to mention, there are also groups of great monsters who are more selfless and more fearless than practitioners.

The third-level evil veins have completed the sublimation. For practitioners, the third-level great monsters are the most suitable group.

Although the success rate of the third-level great monsters impacting the fourth-level true spirit is slimmer than that of the Jindan impacting the Yuanying.

But as the saying goes, as long as the base is large enough, there will always be miracles.

What's more, there are so many third-level great monsters, and it is possible that one of them has a true spirit bloodline that has not been fully awakened.

Whether it was a Nascent Soul who was not from the Xingxiu Palace or a fourth-level True Spirit, they absolutely could not tolerate or bear it.

Therefore, even if they had realized that they were being pulled forward by an invisible thread, they had to comply with the pull of this force.

After that, within a short month, after the Lingyue Wasteland, four other wastelands, including the Gucui Wasteland, the Tianyun Wasteland, the Wansong Wasteland, and the Shiyuan Wasteland, "fell" one after another.

As expected, the four Nascent Soul True Lords appeared in these four wastelands one after another, like puppets, following the pace of the great changes.

All the thoughts of wanting to use this "land of enlightenment" that fell from the sky to advance to the Nascent Soul or the fourth-level True Spirit were strangled in the bud.

In the midst of these great changes, their mentality has become somewhat numb.

The four people looked at the last wasteland that had not yet undergone a great change, the Hongze Wasteland.

It's like waiting for the last shoe to drop, and I can't wait for this matter to be over and over again so that I can move on to the next part of the story.

——Yes, they all had a vague judgment in their hearts that these things happening now might be the precursor of some bigger events, rather than the end.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the last Hongze Wasteland.

The four Xingxiu Palace Yuanyings who came to Hongze Wasteland early discussed this issue again.

"Why is Hongze Wasteland different from the other seven wastelands?"

When this question was put in front of everyone, the eyes of the other three people all focused on Lian Ziling again.

It seemed that everyone took the responsibility of solving this puzzle for granted on him.

Seeing this situation, Lian Ziling seemed to want to use a sufficiently friendly smile to dissolve the thick barrier between them, but his smile was too forced and did not have the corresponding effect.

In the end, Lian Ziling just coughed lightly and gave an idea.

"I don't know if you have noticed that, except for the Hongze Wasteland, the other seven wastelands have not had any incidents related to the Lihen Sect in recent years.

This is really unreasonable. We all know the nature of the Lihen Sect. They can't be so peaceful!"

"Compared with this, the Hongze Wasteland, where there are still traces of Lihen Sect activities, seems much more normal."

"Big Brother" stared at Lian Ziling and said thoughtfully: "So, do you think that this series of changes has some connection with the Lihen Sect?"

Lian Ziling said: "This is just a superficial opinion I have drawn based on some known information. As for the truth, perhaps only God knows."

"Big Brother" stared at Lian Ziling and nodded slightly with an inexplicable meaning.

At this moment, the "Fourth Junior Sister", who had always been very low-key and seemed like a small transparent person among the four people, suddenly spoke:

"Brother Lian, are these current changes related to the Lihen Sect?"

Lian Ziling was stunned for a moment, looked at the "Fourth Junior Sister" deeply, and then shook his head and said:

"I said, this is just my guess. If you insist on taking it as the truth... I have nothing to say."

The "Fourth Junior Sister" continued: "But if that's the case, why haven't you mentioned something to us?"

When she said this, her tone was still so gentle.

But Lian Ziling was such an alert person that he immediately felt a trace of "murderous intent" hidden very deeply and looming.

He did not reply, but turned his head slightly to look at her, as if waiting for what she would say next.

Although he sat quietly, he gave people the feeling of an extremely alert cat. It seemed that any abnormal change could provoke his most intense reaction.

"Fourth Junior Sister" seemed to be unaware of the subtle changes that had taken place in him, and continued to speak softly:

"These days, I have also been thinking about the reasons behind these series of great changes."

"So, you found the reason? Is it related to me?"

Lian Ziling said, with undisguised mockery and ridicule in his tone and expression.

"Fourth Junior Sister" shook her head, "No, but I found another thing."

As she spoke, "Fourth Junior Sister" looked up at Lian Ziling.

"You just said that there is an obvious difference between the seven wastelands that have undergone great changes and the Hongze wasteland, which is related to the Lihen Sect. You are right.

But what you didn't say is that, apart from the Hongze wasteland, the Juye wasteland and the other six wastelands also have huge differences in the matter of the Lihen Sect."

"The Lihen Sect in the other six wastelands has suddenly disappeared in recent years, while the Lihen Sect in the Juye wasteland has disappeared many years ago... Why don't you say this difference?"

After hearing what the "fourth junior sister" said, Lian Ziling's eyes first showed a look of realization, and then he sneered.

"Junior sister, you have a keen insight and can find new clues. I admire you very much, but... you blame me for this. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?!"

"Fourth Junior Sister" said:

"I have always admired Senior Brother Lian's intelligence. There is no reason why Senior Brother Lian would turn a blind eye to the problems that I can find.

Moreover, during the period when Xingxiu Palace was closed, you were in charge of the observation for a long time. All the news sent back from the outer domains would first be concentrated in your hands."

Speaking of this, "Fourth Junior Sister" paused and suddenly changed the subject.

"Another thing is that the specialness of the Juye Wasteland can be proved from another angle, and it has nothing to do with the Lihen Sect!"

"A simple comparison of the seven wastelands that have undergone great changes can clearly show that in the other six wastelands, the three-level evil veins where the great changes occurred are all located closest to the central area of ​​a wasteland.

Only in the Juye Wasteland, the three-level evil vein Wumenghai where the great changes occurred is located in the north of the entire wasteland."

Speaking of this, the "fourth junior sister" fell on Lian Ziling with a pair of soft eyes, giving him a feeling of turning a soft finger into a heart-breaking sword.

"Such an obvious difference, why do you want to hide it?"

"If my guess is correct, this Juye Wasteland should have something special!"

"But you don't want us to notice this, right?"

The gentle words of "Fourth Junior Sister" pierced Lian Ziling's heart like a deadly sword.

Lian Ziling could clearly sense that the "Big Brother" and "Second Senior Sister", who were originally on high alert against him and were only temporarily fooled by him because of the special situation, had now locked their auras firmly on him.

The next moment, Lian Ziling, who had been barely maintaining his composure, suddenly changed his face.

He stared at the three people with a look of disbelief.

"You...you guys..."

"Big Brother" sighed leisurely and whispered, "What secrets are hidden in Wumeng Sea?"

Lian Ziling pursed his lips tightly, said nothing, and suddenly waved his hand. A violent aura shot out from him, shooting at the three people who almost surrounded him in the center.

Facing his sudden attack, the three people behaved very strangely.

Not only did they look calm, but they also did not make any defensive or evasive moves in the face of the rapid attack.

They were like wooden stakes, watching the energy coming at them.

And the next moment after the energy came, Lian Ziling, who had clenched his teeth, finally couldn't hold back and yelled out a word full of infinite emotions in a very unpresentable and uncultivated way:

"Fuck!!!"

Just because the three people who had originally surrounded him and surrounded him in the core, with an aggressive posture, suddenly shattered like bubbles and disappeared without a trace when the energy he shot really hit them.

He was the only one in the field.

Just when Lian Ziling was sighing that he had been hunting geese all day, but was pecked in the eye by a goose today, and his mentality was the most explosive, Lian Ziling suddenly turned his head and looked at a foggy sea in the distance.

There, a violent spiritual storm was rising, sweeping across the entire Hongze Wasteland at an unparalleled speed.

Because the distance was close enough, and because his perception was strong and sharp enough, he could clearly feel that at the very beginning, in the sea area of ​​tens of thousands of miles around the foggy sea, hundreds of points suddenly erupted without any signs, immediately pushing the huge changes throughout the entire Hongze Wasteland to a stage where he was powerless.

This was the first time he saw the birth of a spiritual storm and the sublimation process of the third-level evil veins up close.

Although he had the ability of a Nascent Soul, he could only watch in vain in the face of such a huge change.

Otherwise, he could do nothing.

But Lian Ziling, who witnessed such a huge change up close, had a calm face, a wooden calm.

He slowly opened his mouth and said again: "Fuck."

However, unlike the full and intense emotions last time, there was a kind of calmness that was extremely calm.

...

Time went back a moment.

Juye Wasteland.

Lian Ziling had naturally noticed the subtle differences between the Juye Wasteland and other wastelands that had also undergone great changes.

After dealing with the mess left behind by the great changes in the seven wastelands, the four of them came early before the great changes in the Hongze Wasteland, and he played a role in guiding them in secret.

As Lian Ziling's real body, "Big Brother", "Second Sister", "Fourth Sister" and others all left the Xingxiu Sea and came to the Hongze Wasteland in advance to wait for the great changes to happen, Lian Ziling's clone, who had been hiding in the cave, finally "came out" again, and soon descended to the Juye Wasteland again, sneaking into the Wumeng Sea silently.

Looking at the area covered by the black evil fog in front, Lian Ziling's clone smiled and quietly came to the position where his real body arranged the formation flags.

After arriving at the right place, Lian Ziling's clone made a hand gesture, and the black evil mist that was originally tightly closed and seemed to be one body quietly showed a crack that was just big enough for one person to pass through.

This was the back door left by Lian Ziling's real body. Lian Ziling's clone naturally did not hesitate. The moment the crack appeared, Lian Ziling's clone turned into rainbow light and escaped into it.

When Lian Ziling's clone turned into rainbow light and appeared again, he had already entered the black evil mist array. Except for the surroundings and the dome in the distance that were covered by a layer of black barrier, there was no trace of black evil mist around him.

Just when Lian Ziling's clone came to the vicinity of the former "Qihuangmen old nest" and was about to make a more in-depth investigation, he was suddenly stunned, turned his head sharply, and looked at the empty place beside him.

At this moment, in the area where he was staring, a sigh came:

"Junior Brother Lian, what are you going to say to fool me this time?"

While speaking, the figure of "Big Brother" had already appeared.

He stared at the shocked Lian Ziling clone, his face full of disappointment.

"I have been convinced by you time and time again, you are very proud of it, right? You must have laughed at me countless times in your heart, right?"

"Big Brother" said this, staring at Lian Ziling's clone, but his eyes were full of defense and fear.

"Is this your clone?

You just became a Nascent Soul not long ago! Don't you want a future?"

"You are really cruel, so cruel to yourself!"

At this moment, the figure of "Second Senior Sister" appeared beside "Big Brother". She said calmly:

"Junior Brother Lian dared to do this, which means he has a bigger goal.

As long as he satisfies his wishes, all his losses can not only be made up, but he may even make a lot of money!"

At the same time, Lian Ziling's clone clearly felt that the black evil fog, which was originally very far away, was approaching him quickly.

The void around him, together with the real world, was becoming more and more stagnant.

Under such changes, many escape methods have become ineffective.

Lian Ziling's clone's pupils shrank sharply, staring at the two, and said in a cold voice: "Did you tamper with the formation?"

"Second Senior Sister" looked at Lian Ziling and said:

"You did the same?

Besides, our intentions are much more open than yours.

You tampered so that it would be easier to sneak in when we were not prepared.

And as long as you don't do this, our arrangement will never take effect."

"You are walking into a trap!"

Lian Ziling's clone didn't say anything else, staring at the two, and slowly stepped back.

But the next moment, his backward steps also stopped.

A soft voice came from behind, "Brother Lian, this time, can you say a few words to us sincerely?"

Lian Ziling's clone turned his head suddenly, staring at the "Fourth Junior Sister" in front of him who was always weak and transparent among the four people, and said slowly:

"Did you design all this?"

"Fourth Junior Sister" did not answer, and still said in a soft voice:

"Brother Lian, it must be very difficult to split a clone just after becoming a Yuanying?

We don't ask for much, just hope that you don't treat us all as fools anymore, and be sincere to us!

This request is not too much, right?"

Lian Ziling's clone did not answer, sneered and said nothing.

"Stubborn!"

"Big Brother" shook his head and sighed, and a giant palm transformed from black evil mist came down from the sky with his words, slapping Lian Ziling's clone. (End of this chapter)
