Chapter 2467

Zhu Xiuer's reply was stiff and self-righteous: "I don't understand either!"

"..."

"Strange things happening on Jiuyou have always been many; I never ask too much. Before he went in, he told me not to worry, but to exterminate the Earth Mother's subordinates as fast as possible. We take a two-pronged approach, and the war can end sooner."

True Person Si Hai cared most about this: "Has the Earth Mother's essence soul been released or not?"

Has the objective of He Lingchuan's team entering the Secret Realm been completed or not?

As soon as everyone came out, they could feel the city trembling uneasily, as if a power from the deepest part of the earth's core was tearing it apart. Another violent quake struck, and the entire mountain forest shifted left and right; the low wall beside Immortal Ming Ke cracked with several 'pacha' sounds, opening three or four deep fissures, and not far away several eaved halls collapsed with a 'huala' crash.

"It was released, but before we were kicked out of the Secret Realm, we saw it being dragged back underground. I think it has awakened, but hasn't regained its freedom." Immortal Ming Ke deduced: "However, shaking this violently is also very abnormal for Yujing City, right? Most likely the awakened Earth Mother is wrestling with Shangguan Biao?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Xiuer entered combat mode: "Hey, enemies ahead!"

Du Zhishan had already been moved into the mountains; everyone saw the number of stone men and stone tigers emerging from the slope ahead was ten times that of the yaoguai, a dark mass roaring toward them.

The tallest of these stone-mimicking monsters could reach five zhang; their body types and models varied, obviously created by Shangguan Biao using the Earth Mother's power, while some yaoguai at a glance were clearly different from living things, pinched together from stone powder and bones.

"These are all expendables created by Shangguan Biao." True Person Chong Hui said quickly, "Shall we go up to the sky? Why waste spiritual power on them."

He made a lot of sense; True Person Si Hai nodded: "Let's go, go kill yaoguai."

Before the stone men arrived, the immortals drove their magic artifacts into the air, heading toward the city district.

Zhu Xiuer alone took a small flying boat; only then did she have the chance to quietly ask He Lingchuan: "Started fighting with Shangguan Biao?"

Truly marvelous, even the Land of Nothingness couldn't sever its communication with He Lingchuan.

His answer was still clear: "Not yet. Shangguan Biao's Land of Nothingness is Lei Ting's Heavenly Plain; currently he hasn't shown himself."

"Lei Ting's Heavenly Plain?" Zhu Xiuer oh-ed, "The place where he was schemed against and killed by Liu Yisheng."

Another place Shangguan Biao has a deep impression of.

"Is he hatching another bad scheme?"

"Shangguan Biao's wishful thinking originally was to use the Changfeng Valley in the Secret Realm to wipe us all out; who knew the Earth Mother was successfully awakened by me, and his plan went bust." He Lingchuan asked it, "If you were Shangguan Biao, how would you turn the tables?"

The situation before us is unfavorable to anyone. Unfavorable to He Lingchuan, unfavorable to Lingshan, and equally unfavorable to Shangguan Biao.

No side got the result they wanted.

Ai? Need to use my brain again? Zhu Xiuer pondered a good while before saying: "Steal back all the Earth Mother's power again?"

"Exactly, this is the root! The Earth Mother's power is the foundation for him to operate Yujing City and construct the Secret Realm; once the Earth Mother's true body awakens, this foundation shakes, becomes unstable, so Shangguan Biao's primary objective is to reseal the Earth Mother's essence soul."

"How could the Earth Mother agree? Having been sneak-attacked before, even if it's dull, a fall into a pit should make it wiser."

"If the Earth Mother were at its peak, Shangguan Biao couldn't seal it." He Lingchuan paused, "Shangguan Biao's second important objective is to kill me. Because the Secret Realm struggle, in the end, is a struggle between me and him. The only rule of this game is winner takes all."

Retrieve the Earth Mother's power, then kill He Lingchuan, devour the Panlong Secret Realm, and Shangguan Biao can regain control of Yujing City's chaos.

Zhu Xiuer sneered coldly, the spines on her back unconsciously standing erect: "It's courting death."

"When the Earth Mother just appeared in the Secret Realm, Shangguan Biao had no other moves; he should have another calculation. We can't be careless."

"I'm currently heading for the city district; Lingshan people are all gathered on a few flying boats whispering, not wanting me to hear." Zhu Xiuer said softly to He Lingchuan, "Those around me are also all people with ulterior motives."

On this Panlong Wasteland, cultivators bustle about, all for the Great Fanghu.

Da Niang being able to think of these things is already much shrewder than before. As expected, environment tempers people the most.

Dong Rui, who had been listening on the side, suddenly spoke: "Hey, putting it like this, isn't there a most straightforward way to beat Shangguan Biao?"

He was a bit smug.

"I know. Before searching for the Earth Mother's nest, I thought of this possibility." He Lingchuan shook his head, "It's not the best strategy."

At this moment True Person Si Hai and Immortal Ming Ke jumped onto this boat, asking Zhu Xiuer: "Is that 'Tiger Wing General' really the Jiuyou Great Emperor?"

"Uh." She was worst at handling this kind of situation; Zhu Xiuer raised a claw to scratch her head, but the others had already seen her answer.

True Person Si Hai immediately said: "Lingshan and Cangyan have always cooperated closely; the Great Emperor's approach is truly a bit distant."

Zhu Xiuer's voice was muffled: "This is a strategic necessity."

Because of strategic necessity, I hid it from you.

"Cut off Shangguan Biao's wings, weaken his power, best also kill the Heavenly Demon." Zhu Xiuer said, "Jiuyou will help the Earth Mother break free; we just need to cooperate with them as much as possible."

True Person Si Hai looked at Immortal Ming Ke: "The Land of Nothingness, what kind of place is it exactly?"

This name, even Immortal Ming Ke was hearing for the first time.

"When new and old Secret Realms alternate, the place the Secret Realm master and guardian spirit go." Zhu Xiuer had also been there.

Immortal Ming Ke looked at her, gaze strange.

Everyone was suddenly kicked out of the Secret Realm; the Spider Queen also had no time to communicate with the Jiuyou Great Emperor; how can she now assert with certainty that that is the Land of Nothingness?

He understands the Spider Queen; she wouldn't speak recklessly about uncertain matters.

True Person Si Hai asked again: "Then how are you sure they can escape?"

"Absolutely can." Zhu Xiuer's tone was resolute, "Jiuyou's understanding of the Secret Realm far surpasses all of us."

Immortal Ming Ke wanted to speak but stopped.

Actually, it's the Earth Cave Spider Queen's trust in the Jiuyou Great Emperor that far surpasses her trust in all of them, right?

"Below there are yaojun, about to enter the Panlong Secret Realm."

They had already flown back to the main city district; the yaojun here were very active, and a large number of servants were transporting supplies.

Zhu Xiuer knew at a glance: "Those two squads are both transporting xuanjing to the Earth Mother's Heart Fire, that is, supplying it energy."

They had also personally delivered them before.

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered, wondering how Ling Jinbao was doing.

Still alive?

Before, she had been busy in the Secret Realm the whole time; she had inquired little about outside matters.

Everyone hearing that xuanjing was being transported below immediately said: "Go go, quickly go down and intercept!"

"Right right, cut off enemy logistics."
