Chapter 1793: The Pit Left for the Tiangong

The immortals under Qian Huan also fell into its hands. He Lingchuan was also curious: "How was it finally caught?"

"We paused the pursuit, let it be free for thirty years, thinking we had given up, and then the Immortal Venerable personally took action to set up an illusion realm, trapping it inside and capturing it in one fell swoop!" Xiao Wencheng said. "Back then, the Immortal Venerable's illusion realm was far from being as indistinguishable between real and illusion as it is today."

He Lingchuan asked by the way: "By the way, where is the Immortal Venerable?"

Qian Huan had appeared using a dharma body/illusion just now and disappeared after explaining the path. He wouldn't go back into seclusion, would he? Dong Rui wanted to know even more: where was Qian Huan's true body? "The master is between void and reality," Xiao Wencheng said solemnly. "Miaozhantian and the Tiangong are going to be unlucky."

That three-eyed crow was still perched on the roof, watching coldly as the surviving mortals in the city were heartbroken, their cries shaking the sky; one could even describe it as dumbfounded.

Dong Rui asked: "What is it waiting for?"

The behavior of this Blood Demon was indeed completely different from the immortals of the Illusion Sect.

"Prey," Xiao Wencheng said. "Let it be; it has its own ways."

The great experts of the Illusion Sect had collectively fallen, and True Person Qian Huan releasing this Blood Demon was to supplement his own side's strength and then use its strange means to deal with the enemy.

Seeing this, Dong Rui couldn't help but say: "Hey, the Tiangong is coming here; what exactly do you plan to do to deal with them?"

True Person Qian Huan had indeed come out, but he hadn't mentioned specifically how to deal with the Tiangong or Miaozhantian.

Is he the only one anxious on the scene?

"The Immortal Venerable said that it would be a pity not to use the previous arrangements," Xiao Wencheng said. "Bai Ziqi has already discovered the connection between the Silver Pearl Fruit and the Kidney Lake, so he must have some assumptions. Therefore, we still have to lure Miaozhantian and the Tiangong army to Kidney Lake."

When did the Immortal Venerable say that? He Lingchuan's heart moved; it seemed Xiao Wencheng and True Person Qian Huan also had a secret method of communication not known to outsiders.

This was normal; Mother Zhu also had a secret communication channel with He Lingchuan and Dong Rui.

Qian Huan wanted to lure Miaozhantian to Kidney Lake, so naturally, there were arrangements.

And Xiao Wencheng, recalling the tone of the Immortal Venerable when he mentioned the words "previous arrangements," felt a bit of sweat on his back.

The Immortal Venerable knew; he knew that he had originally wanted to lure the Tiangong team into Kidney Lake!

Was the Immortal Venerable somewhat dissatisfied with his calculations?

Sigh, he had already reached the realm of an immortal, yet he still couldn't escape such fear and trepidation for the rest of his life. He smiled bitterly to himself, put aside these distracting thoughts, and turned to Elder Liu: "Junior Brother Liu, have the disciples retreat, and have Junior Brother Xutuo prepare the Silver Pearl Fruit."

The Tiangong team continued to advance to Stone Dragon Mountain, aiming directly at these few immortals. They were at the end of their rope and had to jump into Kidney Lake; Miaozhantian would probably chase them in, right?

Just then, several rays of golden light shone through the window lattice, illuminating the entire Wenhui Pavilion. The white jade pillar behind He Lingchuan even reflected small, mottled golden dots.

The morning sun was rising.

This distressing and heavy night had passed, but the decisive battle between immortals and demons was far from over.

He Lingchuan's expression changed: "Mother is back."

He received the report from the eyeball spider and personally opened the door of Wenhui Pavilion. Sure enough, the Earth Cave Spider Queen was at the door, covered in dust.

It had two wounds on its body, but they weren't serious, and having walked so far on the road, ordinary wounds were slowly healing.

"It's really far from the Upside-Down Lake to here..." The Haoyuan Golden Mirror was swallowed by the divine bone necklace, and the Illusion Sect and its guests lost the convenience of instantly traveling back and forth between destinations, having to run there themselves. Mother Zhu stretched her eight long legs, "It's over. The Tiangong has abandoned the lakeside battlefield and headed north."

The Illusion Sect team was scattered and didn't pursue.

Its mission was over, so it hurried back to Stone Dragon Peak.

After speaking, it saw He Lingchuan staring straight at it and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." In fact, in He Lingchuan's eyes, there was a faint golden thread on Mother Zhu, extending all the way to the sky.

He was familiar with this thing as soon as he saw it: God's Gaze!

It just so happened that Elder Liu also walked out of Wenhui Pavilion from beside him.

As soon as Elder Liu touched the sunlight, He Lingchuan saw a golden thread on him as well.

That's right, these two immortals were active on the battlefield, and Elder Liu even killed the god Zhao You. I don't know when the Heavenly Demon cast God's Gaze on them for tracking purposes.

This is easy to handle. He Lingchuan's eyes flashed; isn't this a ready-made fishing line? Looking at Xiao Wencheng again, there was no such thread on him. He had always stayed behind at Stone Dragon Peak and hadn't personally gone to the battlefield, so the Heavenly Demon couldn't see him.

Mother Zhu and Elder Liu didn't know yet; only He Lingchuan, with the help of the Great Fang Hu's divine power and happening to encounter the sunrise, could discover it.

He suddenly remembered a key question: "By the way, after sunrise, can Kidney Lake still be traversed?"

Otherwise, all these arrangements would be in vain.

"It can. Actually, the moon hasn't disappeared yet; it's just that the daylight is too bright for you and me to see it," Xiao Wencheng replied. "Until the light of the Silver Pearl Fruit on the shore of the Upside-Down Lake fades, Kidney Lake can still be traversed, which is... within two hours of sunrise."

Dong Rui whistled long: "Amazing, there's a time limit! Now, the Tiangong has no choice but to enter Kidney Lake."

He Lingchuan was also slightly moved.

Ginger is still old and spicy; True Person Qian Huan left a big pit for Miaozhantian and the Tiangong without a sound. If He Lingchuan hadn't asked, Xiao Wencheng and the others wouldn't have specifically pointed it out.

According to the rules of the Upside-Down Sea, the Silver Pearl Fruit only glows on the night of the 15th of every month. Only then does the Silver Pearl Fruit have the power to traverse Kidney Lake. Conversely, the time left for both sides of the war is only two hours.

No wonder Xiao Wencheng's original plan was to fight to the death with the opponent; it turned out he had already thought that when the time limit was up, he would jump into Kidney Lake.

Although this move would make their own future uncertain and life and death unpredictable, once the last time limit for the Silver Pearl Fruit to glow passed, the Tiangong team would have no way to leave the Upside-Down Sea.

At that time, Qian Huan hadn't come out of seclusion yet, and the Illusion Sect immortals only knew that jumping into Kidney Lake was a one-way trip, so this could be considered a last resort, a choice at the last moment.

At present, Xiao Wencheng summoned all the disciples on the mountain, preparing to evacuate.

Mother Zhu asked He Lingchuan: "What shall we do?"

He Lingchuan looked at the golden thread on it: "Of course, follow Sect Master Xiao."

The evacuation method of the Illusion Sect disciples was also very convenient; jumping directly into the sand table in Wenhui Pavilion would land them at the location designated by Xiao Wencheng in advance, which was the shore of Kidney Lake, where they would receive the Silver Pearl Fruit and jump into the lake.

And the Illusion Sect disciples down the mountain could no longer summon the Haoyuan Golden Mirror for instant travel and had to move their legs to rush to the lakeside themselves.

Even if the Great Fang Hu was willing to be generous and spit out the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, it was no longer connected to the laws of the Upside-Down Sea and couldn't open an arbitrary door like before.

Dong Rui also discovered the bird demons circling above Kidney Lake from the sand table; they were all eyes and ears of the Tiangong.

With Bai Ziqi's temper, he would definitely monitor the dynamics around Kidney Lake closely. Therefore, the Illusion Sect disciples rushing to the lakeside in large numbers and taking the fruit into the water would definitely not escape his eyes; this didn't need the Illusion Sect elders to put on an act or deliberately lure them.

Xiao Wencheng suddenly pointed at the sand table: "Blood Demon."

The three-eyed crow transformed by the Blood Demon had flown to the shore of Kidney Lake and finally took action.

A large cloud drifted over Kidney Lake.

Dong Rui took the mirror to look and happened to see a pair of flapping big wings emerging from the cloud.

"Vulture?"

This was a vulture, covered in dark brown feathers, but its neck was bald. The difference between it and an ordinary vulture was that its size was ridiculously large. He Lingchuan roughly estimated that its wingspan reached five yards.

It was about the same as the small airplane He Lingchuan had seen in another world.

Such a behemoth flying at low altitude was particularly oppressive. The Illusion Sect disciples by the lake showed shock and silently quickened their pace to jump into the lake.

The crow perched on the treetop also retracted the third eye on its forehead and simultaneously retracted the red light in its eyes. Too many people died in the nearby villages and towns, and many crows had already circled and landed; the Blood Demon crow mixed among them was not conspicuous at all.

After all, crows are generally black all over the world.

He Lingchuan pointed at the circling vulture: "This is a great demon from the northeast of the Flash Gold Plain, the famous 'Cave Infant King.' Many people say it already has the strength of a Demon Immortal. This guy hasn't appeared for several hundred years, but as soon as it showed up, it defected to Beijia."

He had designs on the Flash Gold Plain, so of course, he had been collecting various intelligence on the plain. Except for the distribution of various forces, the east and northeast of Flash Gold were the territory of many great demons and demon clans. Although He Lingchuan had never seen them, he knew their data by heart.

It was a good thing that those troublesome great demons from Flash Gold appeared here.

Let the Illusion Sect help him destroy them, clearing the way for his future great cause.

It was probably because the Blood Demon heard his inner voice; when the Cave Infant King flew away, the Blood Demon crow that had been perched on the treetop also flapped its wings and followed. But it didn't go into the sky, instead flying close to the ground, trailing behind with ill intentions.

After the big vulture scouted the ground situation nearby, it took a fancy to a running wolverine south of Kidney Lake, so it landed in the woods in front of it, preparing for a sneak attack.

This wolverine had a cluster of golden hair on its head, and its styling was a bit special. The big vulture recognized at a glance that this demon had killed several Tiangong soldiers on the lakeside battlefield earlier.

It was actually a disciple under Elder Xu, capable of climbing trees and good at swimming, known as the Flying Bear, proficient in wood escape, and could even bless surrounding companions with escape techniques, letting them come and go mysteriously with it.

In the mountains and forests, such a character wanted to slip away and run; the enemy's encirclement and interception didn't catch it, only catching a few Illusion Sect disciples. The big vulture saw it and naturally didn't want to let it go.

Now this wolverine had grown in size, with a few Silver Pearl Fruit branches in its mouth, running hard toward Kidney Lake.

The branches were laden with fruit, and the fruit was still glowing.

The Cave Infant King lay in ambush on its only path. Seeing this wild boar-sized badger running over, it tilted its body and retracted its neck, preparing to attack.

However, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Before it could dive, something pitch black crashed into it from behind, its speed far exceeding an arrow leaving the string. ===== CHAPTER 1794 =====
