Chapter 1859

Very slowly, but continuously.

Even after He Lingchuan's advance warning, Xiao Wencheng's face still changed when He saw Him.

Miaozhantian was still alive. The Immortal Venerable sacrificed Himself, yet didn't blow Him to death! "Panlong Isolated City is about to collapse; once Miaozhantian breaks free, He will kill us all."

This brat wasn't a coward who wasn't afraid of death either. Xiao Wencheng just revealed a cold smile when He Lingchuan reminded him: "Not just us, not a single living person in the Illusion Sect will be left."

Xiao Wencheng didn't speak, his eyelids lowered.

The Immortal Venerable was dead, and the Illusion Sect's biggest backer had fallen. No matter how complex Xiao Wencheng's mood was, as Sect Master, the most urgent thing was to quickly find a way out for himself and the sect.

A voice interrupted from the side: "Bullshit! Surrender is always an option, right? Qianhuan is already dead; why must Miaozhantian kill these few hundred people of the Illusion Sect?"

In the Illusion Sect, He had been the second-in-command for thousands of years.

Why? Xiao Wencheng remained silent.

He Lingchuan casually picked a few small white flowers and put them away. With a great battle imminent, these few small flowers might be useful when the time came.

Xiao Wencheng had a straight face.

Both made a blood oath, then sat down to meditate.

Previously, the Blood Demon abandoned He Lingchuan and the others to steal away from the battlefield, which didn't count as a breach of contract, nor did it suffer contract punishment. Because this contract had nothing to do with He Lingchuan, the Blood Demon didn't need to be his enemy.

"This place will become a giant graveyard." He Lingchuan revealed his cards. "Unless we join forces to stop Him before Miaozhantian rushes out of Panlong Isolated City."

But this time was different! Xiao Wencheng now specifically declared that the Illusion Sect wanted to crusade against Miaozhantian, so the Blood Demon was duty-bound and had to go!

The Blood Demon was anxious: "Hey hey, don't listen to his bluffing, what 'certainly', what 'all', this brat is purely guessing! There's not a single thing he can guarantee."

Xiao Wencheng's gaze flickered.

The red-eyed crow added: "You and I work together to tie up this He group of people and send them directly to Miaozhantian, begging Him to write off the grievances; what's difficult about that?"

Xiao Wencheng subconsciously swallowed.

"Effective." Xiao Wencheng replied. "This contract was signed by the Blood Demon with my sect, not an individual."

He Lingchuan wasn't wrong about this point; they were more useful dead than alive.

"I said, your body stinks, and the blood smell is rushing to the sky." He Lingchuan answered solemnly. "Even from hundreds of zhang away, I can smell it!"

Xiao Wencheng looked up at the sound, seeing a red-eyed crow, and couldn't help but be startled.

This was a winner-takes-all game. With the clearance imminent, Miaozhantian, who was about to become the winner, what reason did He have not to take all? So, the Illusion Sect, having lost Qianhuan's protection, could only wait for death in the closed Inverted Sea?

Success or failure, survival or destruction, depended on this battle.

He Lingchuan didn't rush to chase: "Sect Master Xiao, your sect originally made a contract with the Blood Demon; it has to help you kill Miaozhantian to get back its freedom, right?"

He Lingchuan took out a box from his bosom and opened it.

That was why he summoned the Blood Demon several times and failed; the other party was playing deaf and dumb.

He Lingchuan's ability to see through people's hearts was so sharp, and calling Xiao Wencheng through the Haoyuan Golden Mirror meant he was confident he could persuade him.

"Join forces?" Xiao Wencheng looked at the Haoyuan Golden Mirror. "You mean, you can get into this... Panlong Isolated City?"

"Stop chanting, stop chanting!" Its voice was full of pain. "I'll go, I'll go, is that not enough?"

"..." Do souls have a smell? This guy shouldn't be so outrageous! Xiao Wencheng said to He Lingchuan: "If we defeat Miaozhantian, we will part ways after coming out and not interfere with each other!"

He Lingchuan agreed straightforwardly: "That's exactly my intention!"

The current moment was indeed when Miaozhantian's soul was at its weakest; for the sake of their own life and death, He Xiao's proposal seemed indeed worth the risk! But before Xiao Wencheng could answer, He Lingchuan suddenly pointed to the side: "We have an important helper, oh, it just ran out."

Relying on himself alone, he certainly couldn't handle this He Lingchuan group.

"Qianhuan almost spent the last 150 years in seclusion, not taking the sect to heart. But you are different from Qianhuan; the huge sect was all managed by you diligently and painstakingly." He Lingchuan followed up and asked, "Don't you want to plot a path to life for yourself and the Illusion Sect? Sect Master Xiao, now is the time to seek life in danger!"

To stop Miaozhantian, one had to be in the sea of consciousness world. Otherwise, once He returned to reality, who could be the opponent of True Lord Shenxi? However, when Miaozhantian wanted to rush into the Immortal Venerable's sea of consciousness world, He had to use divine arts and Silver Lamp Fruits; could He Xiao enter directly? "Not bad, you can enter now." "Even if the Immortal Venerable has passed away, this contract is still valid, right?"

Everyone looked solemn and bowed: "Lord, be careful!"

Zhu Xiuer looked eagerly: "Do you really not need me to go?"

Not long after, the red-eyed crow stumbled and flew over from not far away, losing a few feathers along the way.

However, Xiao Wencheng knew He Lingchuan was alarmist, but he couldn't say the other party didn't have a point.

The Panlong Isolated City in the mirror looked a bit bad; Xiao Wencheng gestured to the Blood Demon with his chin: "You first!"

Xiao Wencheng finally opened his mouth: "What exactly do you want to say? Join forces?"

"The dead are gone, the living can still pursue." He Lingchuan said sternly. "Sect Master Xiao, Miaozhantian is also nearing exhaustion; we still have a chance to kill Him. Don't you want to complete the unfinished business of the Immortal Venerable?"

Who let Miaozhantian not have the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, let alone the Great Fanghu to help? For stealing and changing rules, the Great Fanghu was a professional.

Xiao Wencheng nodded; when this contract was set, He Lingchuan was also on the side.

However, the situation was stronger than the person; although He Xiao wasn't a good person, his vision and schemes were top-notch.

In fact, it was more than 150 years? For the past three thousand years, the Immortal Venerable was either in seclusion or in charge of Lingshan, throwing all the trivial matters to him to handle, not just the sect.

Now with the blood oath constraint, He Lingchuan's companions couldn't harm him either.

The Immortal Venerable's death, although not directly caused by this He fellow, had a great deal to do with him. At this time, entering the sea of consciousness with him to join forces against Miaozhantian made Xiao Wencheng feel uncomfortable.

After the failure to intercept He Xiao's group earlier, the Blood Demon had also suffered heavy injuries, and he didn't know where it had run off to. Xiao Wencheng summoned it several times, but it didn't appear; it turned out it had slipped here on its own?

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Xiao Wencheng, the red-eyed crow slipped away decisively.

He had long seen that although Xiao Wencheng had obtained Qianhuan's legacy order, he didn't really want to execute it.

The Blood Demon spat, and constrained by the power of the contract, it drifted into the mirror unwillingly.

Heavenly Demons died in large numbers in the Inverted Sea, and Miaozhantian had to give an account after returning; how could He easily let go of their enemies? If he surrendered directly, wouldn't he be making things easier for Miaozhantian? He Lingchuan saw through his hesitation: "Once Miaozhantian rushes out of Qianhuan's sea of consciousness, He will have an overwhelming advantage over the Illusion Sect. So, why would He let you go?"

The agreement had to be set beforehand, to avoid clashing again when the time came; if they lost, heh, don't mention anything.

But what if the Blood Demon was added? Uh, it seemed it was still a bit risky. Previously, he and Junior Brother Ning were ordered to intercept He Lingchuan, and the Blood Demon went along, but what was the result? This guy ran away on the spot, and now it actually had the face to come back and talk about joining forces! "Where is the 'we', only you!" He Lingchuan glanced at the Blood Demon. "The Blood Demon instigated you because Miaozhantian doesn't care about it at all, and might just let it go. But you, Sect Master Xiao, are different!"

"You don't have to think about surrendering; Miaozhantian will absolutely not accept it." He Lingchuan's eyes, which saw through people's hearts at this moment, reminded Xiao Wencheng of Qianhuan. In the past, He was also like this... *Sigh*, why did he fail to see through this He Xiao person? "I know many immortals have surrendered in the past, but you have no chance now."

Hearing the last sentence, the muscles on Xiao Wencheng's cheeks twitched.

Things had reached this point, and he also understood He Lingchuan's intention, so he took out a talisman and chanted.

He Lingchuan said quickly: "Sect Master Xiao is also in a high position, and you also know that such 'help' is all about returns, all about interest exchange. Miaozhantian must have made many promises to other great Heavenly Demons; judging from the purpose of His invasion of the Inverted Sea, the bodies of the Illusion Sect elders, perhaps they have already been reserved in advance internally!"

"Because you have caused too much loss to Miaozhantian. Sect Master Xiao, in the past two days, more than a dozen gods and demons have died at the hands of you fellow disciples. You also know clearly from interrogating that giant lizard; Miaozhantian not only went all out this time in the Inverted Sea, but even borrowed the power of other great Heavenly Demons, including the Lingxu Holy Venerable!"

Zhu Xiuer and Dong Rui knew that this was Xiao Wencheng setting a layer of protection for himself; otherwise, if he fought in the Mirage Immortal's sea of consciousness, they could destroy his body here, and Xiao Wencheng would have no way to deal with it.

"Tsk!" The Blood Demon spat unwillingly, asking He Lingchuan a question that had troubled it for a long time: "How exactly did you discover me!"

If Xiao Wencheng were won over by He Lingchuan, it would be very bad for it.

Xiao Wencheng kept chanting, and the chains formed by the contract were about to strangle its soul: "Let go, let go, Miaozhantian is about to run!" The Blood Demon couldn't hide or escape, and according to this contract, Xiao Wencheng could summon it over; if it didn't come, it would immediately suffer the backlash of the contract's power.

The name of the box was "Juluo Treasure Box," and inside was a miniature tree with a graceful posture, full of flowers.

Miaozhantian came for True Person Qianhuan's body; since He had come, would He let go of the Illusion Sect's immortals? These were all excellent bodies for divine descent!

It suddenly thought, why did this brat think it couldn't beat Miaozhantian, but he could do it himself? The Earth Cave Spider Queen was once an ancient great immortal.

"No need." He Lingchuan smiled at it.

Zhu Xiuer had once fallen in ancient times, and its soul resided with its sister. He Lingchuan had long known that in terms of soul strength, it wasn't as good as Zhu Erniang.

This was the same as a person's body; it was weaker when sick and stronger when exercised, not unchanging.

"Hurry up." Panlong Isolated City was about to collapse, so Xiao Wencheng urged him.

So the two sat down to regulate their breathing, each driving a bit of spiritual light out of their bodies, throwing themselves into the Haoyuan Golden Mirror.
