Chapter 1815: Qian Huan's Last Resort

Bai Ziqi finished the arrangement, and the four great experts turned into flying rainbows, heading straight for Tail Ridge.

The Tiangong knew very well that if even one great being was left to sweep the formation, the Illusion Sect might not dare to attack, but their plan for the Divine Fire Array would likely be hindered.

Manpower is scarce. Those two heavenly demons before crossing the lake truly died in vain.

"The first battle happened at Tail Ridge! The Tiangong sent one, two, three... I didn't count wrong, right, all four came out?!" Dong Rui held the Soul-Sucking Mirror, enlarging the scene on the sand table. "Whoa, so intense, the ground here collapsed again!"

The Divine Fire Heavenly Meteor had already made the geological structure here precarious; how could it bear a new round of immortal-demon melee? He Lingchuan, however, wasn't surprised.

The Tiangong's strong people were limited, and they were at a disadvantage compared to the Illusion Sect. Bai Ziqi couldn't play these good cards one by one anymore, so he chose to go all-in.

If it were He Lingchuan himself, he would only circle two meteorite points and send three immortals to dig and pry at each point; this would be efficient and ensure his own safety.

As the attacking side, they originally held the initiative. But Xiao Wencheng loathed risks and actually handed this power to the opponent.

How could Bai Ziqi be polite to him? If the commander-in-chief doesn't know how to judge the situation, even conservatism is a mistake.

How can a battlefield be compromised?

Not long after Dong Rui finished speaking, the light in the secret room suddenly dimmed, and an oil lamp on the offering table "pop" went out.

The attendant guarding the lamp exclaimed: "A soul lamp went out... Elder Pi!"

There were seven oil lamps on this table, the lamp shades blue with green, and the flames inside were unusually stable, unmoved by the wind.

He Lingchuan knew this was a soul lamp.

Only the soul lamps of the seven elders of the Illusion Sect could be placed here.

Who would have thought that one would go out without reason now, not to mention the flame was gone, even the outer wall of the lamp cracked several times.

People die, lamps go out.

The one sent by Xiao Wencheng to Tail Ridge to dig the array feet was—

"Junior Brother Pi!"

Xiao Wencheng was shocked, but as soon as the words fell, another soul lamp went out, and the lamp shattered into three pieces, rolling onto the table.

Green smoke curled up, and the person was gone.

The lamp-guarding attendant stuttered in shock: "Bai, Elder Bai's soul lamp also, also went out!"

Dong Rui murmured: "Elder Pi and Elder Bai are both gone."

These two elders had been trapped in this realm for more than ten years, and had just reunited with the sect, but in the blink of an eye, they sacrificed themselves on the battlefield.

Just out of the tiger's den, and into the underworld.

He Lingchuan was surprised.

Judging by this speed, the immortal-demon sides had only just met, fought at most four or five rounds, and two elders of the Illusion Sect were gone?

Four killing two, how could it be so easy?

He looked at Xiao Wencheng, whose face was livid, and his eyes were also filled with disbelief.

They had all fought those few heavenly demons; it was impossible to kill his junior brothers in seconds.

"It must be Miao Zhantian playing dirty again!"

Last time, Miao Zhantian personally took action and killed his four junior brothers.

Now, was it going to repeat the same mistakes? "What happened underground?" Zhu Xiuer opened its mouth. "We can't see!"

The meteorite was underground, and the battlefield of the immortal-demon sides naturally also went deep underground; one couldn't see anything from the sand table at all.

And because the struggle between Qian Huan and Miao Zhantian was constant, this meteorite crater was steaming with white vapor at any time; even looking down at the sand table, the field of vision was often interfered with.

They could only see that the meteorite crater was still glowing, the array feet of the Divine Fire Array were fine, and four flying rainbows rose from the white mist, rushing straight to the next meteorite crater!

The Tiangong's four immortal-demons had come out of the ground, not wasting time at all.

The fastest way to destroy the Divine Fire Array was to dig the two or three adjacent array feet, so the White Head Mountain meteorite crater that Elder Xue and Xuduo went to was only ten miles away from Tail Ridge.

For heavenly demons walking the air, it was just a matter of lifting their legs.

After harming the two elders Pi and Bai, they struck while the iron was hot and were going to harvest the next group of victims.

Seven great immortals of the Illusion Sect, only five were left in one encounter. From the quantity, they could no longer crush the Tiangong.

The scales of strength between the two sides were dialed back a bit.

"Those few heavenly demons used power that didn't belong to them." Qian Huan's voice sounded again, calmer than He Lingchuan imagined. "He Xiao, lend me the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror."

With a crisis at hand, He finally made up His mind.

Solve the urgent problem first; whatever problems the mirror had, think about it later.

He Lingchuan had been waiting for this moment and said very simply: "Good."

Then he walked to the mirror and pressed his hand on the mirror surface.

Red light flashed on the mirror surface, clear as autumn water.

Immediately after, the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror detached from the wall on its own, still floating in mid-air as before, but it no longer followed Xiao Wencheng, but appeared directly in front of He Lingchuan!

This grotesque scene made Xiao Wencheng understand that the owner of the mirror was still He Xiao, without dispute.

"Can this reconnect to this realm?"

The one who answered him wasn't He Lingchuan, but the mirror surface rippled a few times before becoming clear again.

Then, a picture appeared in the mirror: the four immortal-demons of the Tiangong streaked across the sky, detailed to the point that even their facial expressions could be seen clearly.

The bottom right corner of the mirror showed the scene inside the White Head Mountain meteorite crater:

After the meteorite smashed into the earth's veins, it made a nest here, glowing and heating while rotating slowly.

Looking closely, one could see its astonishing size, and the surface was white-hot due to the high temperature, almost like a small sun, which even immortals didn't want to look directly at.

The seawater flowing into the meteorite crater evaporated into large groups of white vapor as soon as it approached the meteorite, showing how high its temperature was.

Seeing the white vapor blocking the field of vision, He Lingchuan brushed his hand across the mirror surface, and the white vapor in the picture turned into transparent phantoms, no longer interfering with the sight of the people in the secret room.

The sand table didn't have this function. Xiao Wencheng saw this, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, not knowing what it was like for a while.

In the past, only the Immortal Venerable and he could adjust the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror like this.

White Head Mountain meteorite crater; the elders of the Illusion Sect were born in the Illusion Sect and naturally didn't like to approach the Divine Xi true fire, but they had to collect or extinguish the meteorite now, which was considered successfully prying the array foot of the Divine Fire Array.

Before the immortals set off, Qian Huan had bestowed upon them a ritual vessel from the offering table, which had the great divine ability of the Mirage Immortal attached to it. Elder Xue and the two got an oil lamp, so they poured the lamp oil onto the meteorite.

This was standard "adding fuel to the fire"; theoretically, the meteorite should burn more vigorously and brightly, but the lamp oil poured onto the meteorite's surface indeed hissed, and the large groups of black smoke that emerged didn't dissipate, settling in the meteorite crater.

Elder Xue had only been working for a short while when a layer of ointment-like black substance accumulated at the bottom of the pit, thick and sticky. No matter what fell into it, it was like a mouse stepping on a glue trap, stuck and unable to move.

And even the high temperature of the meteorite couldn't melt these black pastes again, instead being dragged down by them, and the rotation speed became slower and slower.

Once the meteorite's rotation speed slowed down, the temperature also began to drop.

Zhu Xiuer watched for a few moments, moved: "This is the embodiment of the two sides fighting. Immortal Qian Huan still occupies the home-field advantage, taking the lead in exploring how to deal with the divine fire, and has the upper hand."

That is to say, as long as Elder Xue continued to cast spells without being interfered with, this array foot could indeed be dug out.

So, "interference" isn't this coming? Qian Huan ordered: "Hao Yuan Golden Mirror, return to position. Xuduo, go to White Head Mountain."

This was His world; He could talk to anyone.

"Yes!" Elder Xuduo was originally at the meteorite crater of Stone Dragon Peak; Qian Huan pointed, and its fat figure emerged from the depths of the mountain cave.

It summoned the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror and plunged into it.

The movement was very silky, just like before.

The mirror surface rippled like before, and then everyone saw that Elder Xuduo's figure indeed appeared in the White Head Mountain meteorite crater! The transmission was very successful, as always.

The Illusion Sect's high mobility was back.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Xiao Wencheng watched the screen while observing the mirror.

The Hao Yuan Golden Mirror returned to its previous use, everything as usual, as if it had never been dismantled.

But Xiao Wencheng knew that this "normality" itself was the most abnormal! Because the owner of the mirror was clearly not Qian Huan, yet it could connect to the laws of this world and be used by the Illusion Sect members.

From He Lingchuan's angle, the ownership of the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror still belonged to him; he just temporarily allocated the right to use the mirror to Qian Huan, so it was called "lending."

But in Xiao Wencheng's view, this matter was full of the word "weird" from beginning to end.

Even if it was "lending," how could Immortal Qian Huan not take it as His own?

But until now, the mirror was still He Lingchuan's. This could only explain that Qian Huan's attempt failed.

Back then, He Xiao could forcibly drag the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror, which was the embodiment of a realm's order, off Qian Huan's law web, and even break the mirror surface, showing that the power behind He Xiao was strong, already approaching or equivalent to Immortal Qian Huan; this was power far beyond the individual strength of the Illusion Sect's group of immortals.

Now he could even lend the Hao Yuan Golden Mirror to Qian Huan, while still being the owner of the mirror; what does this mean? This means that the power mastered by the power behind He Xiao could very likely downward-compatible with the laws of the entire illusion realm! Who is more basic, who is more fundamental, it is clear at a glance.

Therefore, the laws of this realm, Qian Huan's rules, could not upwardly transcend.

These principles, Xiao Wencheng could figure them out, Qian Huan was naturally even more transparent, and didn't know how shocked He was. ===== CHAPTER 1816 =====

Therefore, the laws of this realm and the rules of Qian Huan could not be surpassed upward.

Xiao Wencheng could figure out these principles, and Qian Huan was naturally even more insightful, and even more shocked.
