Chapter 1784: Miaozhantian Takes Action

On the lakeside stage, the Spider Scorpion instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

And right under everyone's gaze, its long tail hook and flat body melted in the red light, like a sugar shell being broken. Replacing it was a furry, round body, but it also had eight legs and was equally pitch black.

"Earth Cave Spider Queen!" Bai Bai Ziqi saw her true form clearly and couldn't help but squeeze this name out from his back molars.

Previously, although the Spider Queen had entered the jurisdiction of the Eye of Truth, she had been disguised by the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, so no one had seen through her.

But once Miaozhantian paid special attention to her and the Eye of Truth stared at her with full concentration, the Spider Queen was still revealed in her true form.

"It's the spider demon from He Xiao's side!" Zhu Zhu Xiuer's characteristics were very distinct; anyone who had seen her wouldn't easily forget her. Bai Bai Ziqi hadn't seen her personally before, but the intelligence he received all mentioned that a huge spider demon had appeared on the Yangshan Islands, had sniped at Frost Leaf's subordinates, and even the fluorescent spores had become a specialty of Yangshan.

Seeing the Spider Queen's figure, Bai Bai Ziqi naturally associated her with He Xiao first.

Could these arrangements of the Illusion Sect all be He Xiao's doing?

This kind of all-or-nothing fighting style shouldn't be, right?

But he didn't have time to think carefully, because Miaozhantian was about to launch her move. Both sides' power had to be invested in Banqiu; that place was immediately about to escalate into a great war between immortals and demons!

"Order the entire army to retreat into the barrier and lean toward the lighthouse!"

After Miaozhantian made her move, regardless of the consequences, the war situation would definitely change.

*In short, too fast, too fast, * Bai Bai Ziqi took a deep breath. According to the plan he had originally drafted, the Illusion Sect's immortals should have been effectively consumed, slow work producing fine results, boiling a frog in warm water; it should have taken at least two days of fighting to reach the current situation.

The war progress was advancing too fast, especially the kind of fast that was beyond control; it was fundamentally not a good thing. Bai Bai Ziqi was good at calm planning, but he didn't like adapting to changes, and he didn't like being pushed around.

"I've always disliked being this passive!" He seemed to have heard this sentence somewhere before? Bai Bai Ziqi's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly remembered that before he left the capital of the Yao Nation, Qingyang had sighed exactly like this.

She was ordered to supervise the Yao Nation and hadn't originally intended to kill the Yao King directly, but ever since the Yao King's birthday banquet, there had been more and more accidents, and the progress of events had become faster and faster, exceeding her control.

Although the Yao Palace coup she led was ultimately successful, Qingyang reflected that there was a mastermind behind this whole process, constantly whipping, or rather pushing, all the characters in the event to take the stage, whether they were willing or not.

She saw clearly that this person was very likely He Xiao.

Bai Bai Ziqi also believed that the progress of the operation in the Inverted Sea he was presiding over was too fast, reaching this current state in just a few moves.

Where did it accelerate? Once was when the Illusion Sect suddenly changed its fighting style, forcing the Tiangong to abandon the plan of building lighthouses everywhere and focus on guarding three; the other time was the battle of the mine shaft and Banqiu, where the Tiangong lost three great experts, causing the situation to reverse and the lighthouse defense battle to fall into a passive state.

Now Miaozhantian taking action was about to become the third acceleration.

If this was also pushed by He Xiao, what was this person's goal? This thought hadn't finished turning when a strange phenomenon arose in the north.

The phantom of the Eye of Truth on the lighthouse flashed for the last time and then vanished.

All the Tiangong's avian demons had been ordered to return to the barrier, so Bai Bai Ziqi lost one perspective and couldn't look down at the Banqiu battlefield from high altitude.

But he knew very well what had happened:

Miaozhantian had finally appeared, and her first move was a trump card.

The Banqiu Lighthouse was gone. In the location where it originally stood, the deep night sky had silently cracked open a huge gap, like a whole piece of oilcloth being violently scratched and ruined.

Along with the Banqiu Lighthouse, many things had vanished.

Bai Bai Ziqi exhaled deeply.

Immediately following, things on the ground were sucked toward it—trees, flowers, buildings, Yakshas, the water of the Inverted Lake, and even the "surface" itself! Bai Ten saw several Illusion Sect cultivators who happened to be running past outside the barrier, and in one second, they were swept away, without any power to resist.

These were elites of the Illusion Sect, each with at least nearly a hundred years of cultivation, but facing this irresistible external force, they couldn't hold on for longer than a blade of grass.

The Tiangong team was staying inside the barrier, and they saw rocks larger than houses being pried up from the ground and scraped toward Banqiu. Mud, sand, and solid rock flew in mid-air, obscuring the moon and sky; outside the barrier, it was as if the end of the world had descended.

The suction of the black hole that suddenly appeared in Banqiu was so strong that it seemed to want to suck the entire Inverted Sea inside.

Zhu Zhu Xiuer hadn't been far from the edge of the lighthouse barrier, and seeing this, she spread her eight long legs and moved inward, fearing that Miaozhantian would shrink the barrier again.

She hadn't witnessed this kind of power, but she feared it instinctively.

Banqiu Lighthouse barrier.

Elders Xu and Liu and the others rode the wind and launched a joint attack, putting the three Heavenly Demons guarding the lighthouse in a miserable state.

Last time it was five against three, and Goddess Fenghe was killed;

This time it was five against three again, and Elder Xu had come too. His strength was a big notch higher than the late Elder Du's, and this time he was also filled with rage as he took the field, launching two thunderous flashes at the start—one for the Heavenly Demon, one for the lighthouse—making the Eye of Truth on the lighthouse flash several times.

The Banqiu Lighthouse had already been attacked several times; if it weren't for the defensive array being forcibly infused with Profound Crystals stolen by Wu Shidao from the Illusion Sect's Immortal Light Cave, it would have been snapped in two long ago.

How could the power of an immortal be so easy to endure? If the Tiangong didn't provide support, this lighthouse, built with countless Profound Crystals, would soon be unable to hold on.

Another Heavenly Demon had an arm severed by Elder Xu, and the wound didn't even spray blood; it turned and scurried toward the tower. Elder Liu threw out the Demon-Subduing Pestle, intending to smash its head into a pulp again, but just then, the Eye of Truth on the tower suddenly blinked.

The immortals were deeply wary of it, knowing that every time it blinked, nothing good happened, so they didn't dare to approach rashly.

Sure enough, after this flash, a person appeared on the top of the tower.

Thin and tall, with a long beard and black hair, wearing a long robe with large sleeves, his expression was blank.

These were no different from an immortal, but this person's appearance was a bit strange: half his face was intact, while the other half was covered in white spots, looking just like he had vitiligo.

The light from the Eye of Truth shone exactly on his face, and the white spots on his face were clearly visible.

Elder Liu, who happened to be looking up and saw this scene, felt his pupils shrink sharply.

"Cang..."

A name floated up from the depths of his memory, and he cried out involuntarily: "True Lord Cangxi!"

*No, that can't be! *

That era was too distant; if not for this face being too distinctive, he would have almost forgotten this person.

An ancient True Immortal, True Lord Cangxi! He was said to have suffered from vitiligo in his childhood and was ridiculed. After seeking immortality and entering the Dao, he went back and killed everyone who had laughed at him, but he was always unwilling to remove the white spots on his face, saying he wanted to keep them to commemorate his mortal period. True Lord Cangxi had boundless magic power and was a famous immortal in the ancient era; Qianhuan respected him very much. When the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons invaded, he killed dozens of Heavenly Demons, but was ultimately defeated by the Lingxu Saint Venerable and died on the Gu River battlefield.

Ever since then, the Lingxu Saint Venerable had become famous and began to be known to the world.
