Chapter 1919: Clash

"Tears in both lines..."

Ba Zun'an's eyes turned cold.

But when he looked over, the person had already disappeared.

The scene of the Lei family entrusting their orphan to him in the past flashed through his mind. Ba Zun'an did not give up. He pointed a finger, directing it towards where the guiding light had vanished.

"Go!"

In the sea of swords, the Choushen Staff vibrated and flew out.

The aura of time and space rippled out. The Choushen Staff instantly pierced through the void and disappeared without a trace, actually chasing back to "before."

Time-space leap!

However, after this sword leaped out, it did not arrive as expected and intercept the Guiding Light of Jianzu.

Its destination was where Guifo was.

"Roar!"

The Demon Emperor Heilong was startled and twisted its dragon body.

On the surface, it positioned itself in front of Guifo, protecting everything, but in reality, it curled up, trying to minimize the area of impact.

A familiar sword aura surged. That fellow suddenly attacked. How could one not be afraid?

"Where is the person?"

Ba Zun'an barked.

Demon Emperor Heilong and the Three Ancestors of the White Vein were all startled. They quickly realized what he was asking. Shenyu Qingshi was the first to speak:

"Just now, the Guiding Light passed by here but did not harm us, so we did not obstruct it..."

It ran away.

Ba Zun'an pondered.

Clearly, "Jianzu" had predicted his actions. The Guiding Light passed through Guifo, and if he wanted to pursue it with a time-space leap, he would also have to pass through Guifo.

The Guiding Light could pass through Guifo unharmed.

If his inner-to-outer sword strike was too weak, pursuing it would be useless. If it was too strong, Guifo would certainly crack, and the passage would be destroyed.

This was equivalent to opening a gap for the Three Ancestors from outside, allowing them to enter faster. Truly a clever scheme!

"Never mind."

Ba Zun'an's sword intent dispersed.

He couldn't fall for the trap and pursue them at this moment. As for Lei Shuanghang, his life and death were up to fate...

If he couldn't catch up, what about Xu Xiaoshou?

"Xiao Wanfeng!"

Almost at the same time as Ba Zun'an made his move, a black chicken in Yu Zhiwen's arms at the foot of Lingyu Mountain also moved.

It crowed symbolically.

The ancient sword cultivators of Lingyu Mountain all trembled.

No one could clearly see who had made the move. The Xuancang Divine Sword in the sea of swords shot out.

Time-space leap, halfway through.

Seeing that Ba Zun'an had the same idea, all the post-war auxiliary healing members who had retreated behind people on the mountain...

In reality, the true Jinren had already entered Jiang Nayu's stomach.

Those who remained here had, unbeknownst to everyone, been replaced by a spiritual energy avatar created by a grotesque trick, a manifestation of Xu Xiaoshou's will.

The will manifestation, with a flick of its fingers.

This flick had little meaning; it was merely shown to the Three Ancestors: "I, your young master, have made my move. Keep your eyes on me!"

Xu Xiaoshou had left his mark on Xiao Wanfeng long ago.

His true body was in Gan Shi Di Realm, but with a thought, his spirit detached and landed on Xiao Wanfeng. He just happened to see the guiding light passing through Guifo, followed by Ba Zun'an's sword intent.

The Choushen Staff was too physical in its attack.

How could this thing be as诡 as "will" or "possession"? Ba Zun'an was still young.

Silently bidding farewell, Xu Xiaoshou accompanied the Guiding Light, not a hint of fear.

"Going to Jianlou?"

His true body couldn't go, of course.

Following with his will, this was actually a good thing.

As a master of the Way of Will, he would send a wisp of his mind, take a look, and then let it dissipate – it was both a risk and an attempt.

If I don't enter hell, who will?

Who would have thought that he had truly underestimated "Jianzu"!

After leaving Guifo, the Guiding Light's first destination was not Jianlou, but a familiar environment.

"Han Gong Di Realm?"

Xu Xiaoshou felt a chill run down his spine. It was a trap!

Splash.

The sound of water.

Three guiding lights led three junior ancient sword cultivators, like slices of meat being blanched, into the pool of water, then pulled them out, continuing to the next destination.

But Xu Xiaoshou couldn't keep up.

He felt his will burning, like pepper had been rubbed on a wound. He had been dipped into the pool.

Without needing to think much, he immediately understood where this was.

"Xixin Tan!"

Dao Qiongcang once said that anyone who wished to become a Saint Emperor's inheritor must first pass the "Heart Questioning" trial.

How to question the heart?

It was to go to Xixin Tan and cleanse away any foreign hearts.

His extreme state of the Way of Will resisted the power of Xixin Tan and was not immediately cleansed into a member of the Han Gong Di Realm clan.

However, a mere wisp of his spirit energy could not withstand such damage. Not only did it detach from Xiao Wanfeng's body, but it also instantly exploded and scattered.

"Failed."

At this, Xu Xiaoshou sighed.

He knew he could no longer keep up with "Jianzu's" pace and couldn't bypass Jianyu to investigate the risks of Jianlou beforehand.

The Demon Ancestor's move was swift and decisive.

But just as he was about to actively disintegrate and dissipate this wisp of will, an anomaly suddenly occurred.

A loud explosion erupted at the spatial node where Han Gong Dongtian was located, which was also the stone hall where the Demon Ancestor's stone statue stood.

A magnificent Saint Ancestor's power surged into the sky.

Accompanying it was a long cry: "Who is this petty thief, trespassing into my clan's sacred land?"

Han Gong Shengdi was not seen, but a sacred image coalesced.

The Saint Ancestor's power swept down, forming a gigantic icy hand that grabbed the space around Xixin Tan, including all bodies, spirits, and wills within it.

"Han Su Zhi Shou!"

Crack—

His nearly disintegrating will instantly froze.

Xu Xiaoshou's hairs bristled slightly, realizing this was not a minor trick but a grand scheme.

One ring interlocking with another.

This was a連環計!

It started with the three weak pieces, Gu, Xiao, and Lei, using the secret of Jianlou as bait. Seemingly insignificant, it actually harbored murderous intent.

Not to save them?

Actually, it could be either way.

With the general situation at hand, no one would specifically care about the lives of three ants. If the Demon Ancestor truly wanted them, Xu Xiaoshou would surely choose to let go.

But this time, it was Jianzu, on the verge of disbanding, using the power of guidance to pick up people...

This step was taken too "lightly," making it seem as if it would be easy to retrieve the people.

If it was within his power, merely a shallow dip in the puddle, he could retrieve one or two people, or at least uncover some secrets.

Driven by such benefits, what seemed like two choices was actually only one.

Ba Zun'an and Xu Xiaoshou, reacting identically, chose to save them.

With this rescue, Old Ba, who didn't get on the express train, was fine.

Xu Xiaoshou, who benefited from the extreme state of will, immediately realized that after half a year of smooth sailing, he had truly messed things up this time.

The Demon Ancestor's treachery was no less than Dao Qiongcang's!

The Han Su Zhi Shou formed by Han Gong Shengdi's sacred image was clearly not meant to destroy his will, but to capture it alive!

What was the Demon Ancestor plotting...

Why didn't he capture him in the River of Time before, but now he wants to...

Han Gong Shengdi was in seclusion. Did this mean he came out of seclusion, or did it represent the Demon Ancestor's complete infiltration of Yuegonghan...

None of it mattered!

Xu Xiaoshou had only one thought at the moment: he could not be caught!

Once caught, his abilities like the extreme state of will and the transcended Way of Time would undoubtedly be fully exposed.

Perhaps the Demon Ancestor could even use this connection to see what happened in Gujin Wangyoulou, or even the world beyond the three doors.

After all...

Dao Peipei was just Dao Peipei, but the Demon Ancestor was an Ancestral God.

Strictly speaking, the Demon Ancestor was on the same level as Shi, Ming, and Nuo.

"Come, come, come..."

The Han Su Zhi Shou reached for Xixin Tan.

Xu Xiaoshou's will was frozen and could not disintegrate on its own.

Realizing that he was to be captured alive rather than destroyed, he found a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation and pushed his guiding power to the extreme.

"Quickly, quickly, there's no time left..."

No more detours!

Guiding overtly!

Moon Fox, only you are left, save me quickly—

At the crucial moment, just as the Han Su Zhi Shou grabbed the entire Xixin Tan space, a surprised voice came from the direction of Tingyu Ge in the distance:

"Father! You've come out of seclusion?"

Yue Gongli was sleepy-eyed but mentally agitated.

His white pajamas were still open, and his waistband hadn't even been tied as he shot into the air.

He didn't know why he was so excited, why he felt such immense joy about his father coming out of seclusion. It didn't even look like he had fully come out of seclusion...

As soon as he reached high altitude, Yue Gongli's face twitched violently, and his entire body trembled, as if resisting something.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, then forcibly bit off the tip of his tongue, trying to regain himself through the pain.

No result.

The latest novel is first published on 69shuba!

The honest Moon Fox.

As his pajama pants slipped down, he knelt on his knees in the void, hands raised high, and shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the entire Han Gong Di Realm:

"Receive! God! Descent! Art!"

The maids of Tingyu Ge all looked up, the elders of each hall pushed open their doors, and the members of the Han Gong clan all stared into the distance.

After Yue Gongli shouted, nothing happened except blood oozing from his seven orifices.

Boom!

The Han Su Zhi Shou scooped up the entire Xixin Tan.

This massive icy pool, which was both a "sacred land" and a "forbidden land," was held in the void, a sight that filled all who saw it with dread.

A sweep of the holy mind.

But it was empty inside.

Xu Xiaoshou's will had already fled.

"Rebellious son, you ruined my plans!"

From the direction of Han Gong Dongtian, a scolding voice rang out. The sacred image dissolved, and the Saint Ancestor's power dissipated.

Han Gong Shengdi seemed to know that the opportunity was fleeting and even skipped the process of searching his son.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

In the void, Yue Gongli coughed up blood, clutching his almost splitting head.

Regaining his senses, his first act was to stand up and pull up his pants, then he gritted his teeth and cursed in a pained voice:

"Xu! Xiao! Shou!"

Yes, he had fallen for it.

Xu Xiaoshou's will appeared directly in his mind, but gave him no time to react. As soon as it appeared, it automatically disintegrated.

It was as if Yue Gongli was merely a transit station, and Xu Xiaoshou had suddenly entered his mind, relieved himself, and then committed suicide.

Coming in haste, leaving in haste.

The fact that he could come and go freely, yet he himself was powerless, drove him to endless madness. Yue Gongli was going insane.

"Did I provoke you?"

"My body has already self-destructed once!"

The starry sky was silent.

Vast and boundless.

A giant purple pupil, like a planet, stood fixed against the blackness. At one instant, the eyeball seemed to blink, with a hint of amusement in its gaze.

"Whoosh..."

Immediately, scattered light points spread out, and a hallucination of sound seemed to follow. The starry landscape was gone, and illusions began to ebb and flow.

This strange sight was what Xu Xiaoshou saw when his will escaped into Yue Gongli's body.

He "committed suicide" immediately, disintegrating that wandering will, no longer giving anyone a chance to catch him.

Undoubtedly, it succeeded this time.

After all, if Han Gong Shengdi were to make a move against him, Yue Gongli, as the external physical body, would be the first to resist.

In an instant, destiny changed.

Xu Xiaoshou's will finally disintegrated.

But just before "death," he clearly saw what was behind the floating illusion in Yue Gongli's body.

Countless black-purple skeletal hands piled up, forming a huge throne of blood and bone. On the throne, the three-headed, six-armed Cuiyin, whom he had defeated once before, was sitting sideways, legs crossed, eyes closed, seemingly taking a casual nap.

As if sensing someone's gaze, it lightly raised one eye and glanced, a dazzling purple light shining from its eye, engulfing everything.

"Oh, escaped?"

"Alive."

In Gan Shi Di Realm, Xu Xiaoshou blinked sharply.

After coming to his senses, he realized he was drenched in cold sweat, feeling a lingering sense of trepidation as if he had just taken a stroll before the gates of hell.

Clearly, he just wanted to save Xiao Wanfeng...

Clearly, only a wisp of his will was mobilized...

"You were impulsive."

Dao Peipei's mouse finally succeeded, eating Xu Xiaoshou's elephant, and its important task was over.

He looked up and chuckled:

"It's a trap on the surface, and a trap underneath."

"None of the Ancestral Gods who have survived to this day are easy to deal with."

"While you are planning against them, they are also planning how to deal with you. One wrong move..."

He showed off Xu Xiaoshou's elephant in his hand, threw it off the board, and stated firmly, "You lose the entire game."

Xu Xiaoshou opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

He narrowed his eyes, took out a small notebook, and quickly scribbled something on it.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Dao Peipei became anxious. "It has nothing to do with me, right? I just gave you a reminder. You're not that petty, are you?"

He wasn't entirely sure what exactly had happened.

It was just that Xu Xiaoshou suddenly shivered, clearly not because his elephant had been taken.

He must have been unable to resist intervening in the situation.

And, he had suffered a setback.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Xu Xiaoshou was too lazy to bother with the other side.

He quickly replayed everything, frowning in deep thought.

Dao Peipei was right, the Demon Ancestor and Cuiyin were too treacherous. He almost fell into the trap.

Mercy doesn't command troops. From now on, unless Ba Zun'an dies and the sky falls, he absolutely cannot move his true body.

Even if it's just a mere wisp of will!

A chess player entering the game, even if it's a side entry, what will be the result—has he forgotten the previous example?

But this adventure, though it didn't allow him to enter Jianlou, was not without gains.

"The Demon Ancestor's will in Yuegonghan, the Demon Ancestor's spirit in Jianlou, and the Demon Ancestor's body at the crossroads can now be linked..."

"It seems that the Demon Ancestor's arrival is only a matter of timing, and He is actively pushing and creating this timing..."

"And Cuiyin!"

The last time he entered Yue Gongli's body, the Cuiyin he saw was clearly not weak in power.

"What He left in Moon Fox's body was not a mere idle chess piece, as outsiders thought."

"That was definitely a power no less than what's on Ai Cangsheng, and that gaze!"

He saw Him.

He also saw him.

Yue Gongli couldn't stop his will from disintegrating. Cuiyin clearly had the time and ability, yet He didn't stop him. Why?

To leave him to fight the Demon Ancestor, while He reaps the benefits?

That's too superficial.

Xu Xiaoshou quickly thought of something. His consciousness leaped into the Xingjie and randomly activated a spiritual energy avatar.

He went directly to the four ancestral trees and looked at Longxing:

"Where's the thing I asked you to keep?"

Longxing's spirit was still sound asleep. Hearing the sound, its dragon tail extended and presented a cloth doll.

Cuiyin puppet!

Most of Cuiyin's consciousness and power were sealed inside.

Of course, "most" was what he thought before. Now, it seems at most only half of its power after its revival, or even less.

The avatar sent the Cuiyin puppet back into the true body's hand.

He would personally keep the Cuiyin puppet to prevent any accidents.

When the Cuiyin puppet entered his inner world, the illusory image of Cuiyin's divine throne appeared before his eyes, followed by a seductive and alluring voice:

"Let's make a deal, Xu Xiaoshou..."

Without thinking, Xu Xiaoshou sealed the seductive power leaking from the Cuiyin puppet, nipping the hallucinations and auditory hallucinations in the bud.

If Dao Qiongcang came as an emissary, acting as a guarantor, and offered sufficient exchange of benefits, he might consider it.

But Cuiyin coming personally?

What credibility did Cuiyin have?

Cuiyin's sole focus, apart from revenge, was probably just revenge!

Having done everything, Xu Xiaoshou paused for a moment and sent out a wisp of will, with extreme seriousness:

"Ba Zun'an, we don't have much time."

Thanks to Big Melon Eating Small Melon for the generous reward to Yu Zhiwen. So, Little Fish, why don't you come out and say something about what you've been doing lately?

Yu Zhiwen: "Recently, I've been practicing ancient sword arts with Sister Liu, perfecting the Heavenly Mechanism Puppet Little Star, and improving my cooking skills, like making chicken soup..."
