Chapter 1876: Diewumeng Watches the Joke, the Kunpeng Guardian Is Dumbfounded
Three days later.
Inside Mangshan Demon Palace.
Diewumeng sat on the demon emperor's throne and sneered: "Lan Tiansheng, look, I already said that the Kunpeng Guardian's Split Soul trying to break through Longshe Shan's Formation is unlikely; if his true body came, perhaps there would be a chance to break through Longshe Shan's Formation, but a single Split Soul also wanting to break through the Formation is unlikely."
If you underestimate that Formation, you'll fall into it and be unable to extricate yourself.
Lan Tiansheng agreed: "Indeed, the true terror of Longshe Shan's Formation lies in you not realizing how formidable it is, nor thinking it can trap you; when you look down on the Formation and start recklessly using your demonic power and soul power, that's when you get trapped."
Once trapped by the Formation, you can neither break through nor escape; three days have already passed, the Kunpeng Guardian's Split Soul shows no movement, and Longshe Shan's Formation shows none either, indicating he's trapped inside; I estimate he's still trying to find a way to break this Formation.
Even a Strong One? Likewise trapped.
Lan Tiansheng couldn't help but sigh; when he entered before, that Formation was already disgusting, and now it's probably even more disgusting.
According to Lan Tiansheng's knowledge, the Formation that has been upgraded many times amounts to over ten upgrades, and that's not counting all of them; each upgrade increases Longshe Shan's Formation's power; over the years, who knows how many levels it has risen; as for the Kunpeng Guardian's Split Soul, it's still trapped just the same.
Yeah, that Formation is truly disgusting; as my husband's strength increases, the Formation's proficiency rises as well, Qinglong Daoren naturally improves too, and Longshe Shan's Formation correspondingly increases; whenever Qinglong Daoren has free time, he boosts the Formation's power; a mere Split Soul of the Second Tribulation cannot break through the Formation.
That Formation can indeed make him despair.
However, the Kunpeng Guardian inside might not feel despair; he still believes he can solve the Formation, and that is the Formation's disgusting aspect.
Diewumeng knows that Formation too well; every time she enters, she is drawn in by it, she can sense the Formation's changes, each change being a major shift; so far, no one has experienced the power of the upgraded Formation, but this time she finally found someone to test it on—how could she let him go easily?
The Kunpeng Guardian needs to stay inside for a while; only then can we… thoroughly optimize the Formation, find some of its flaws, and thereby improve it.
Yeah, whoever goes in suffers misfortune. Lan Tiansheng still feels fearful of those memories, vivid as ever.
Until now, he dares not enter that Formation, nor act recklessly, let alone experience it again.
The Kunpeng Guardian disbelieves evil, insists on going in; now it's fine—being trapped inside, what awaits him is a torment.
I feel that the next time we see the Kunpeng Guardian, he will surely be struck down. Lan Tiansheng teased.
Haha, you're right, that will indeed happen; if the Kunpeng Guardian's Dao heart is shattered, all the better—then his threat to us will greatly diminish. Diewumeng clearly knows the Kunpeng Guardian will eventually be an enemy; for now, they just haven't torn faces.
Or perhaps the Ten Thousand Demon Hall cannot free its hands, restricting them from acting against Cangzhou; if the two provinces wanted to go to war, the impact would be enormous.
They won't do it unless absolutely necessary.
Cangzhou and Lingzhou are not particularly strong; once they clash, it's a fight to the death, and people from other provinces could take advantage; those provinces might not all join the fight, many sects wouldn't just watch—they'd definitely take a share.
Even a large province still has plenty of resources, and many sects naturally covet them greatly.
Each province has a hegemony-level power, naturally also some small sects; those small sects have few resources, and for resources they naturally won't bother with much else.
But we still need to prepare; the Ten Thousand Demon Hall over there is too quiet, we can't be careless.
Lingzhou eyes us tigerishly; this arrival of the Kunpeng Guardian might also be a probe of us.
Within Lingzhou, internal strife never ceases; the Heavenly Heart Sect also worries about the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, after all, the Ten Thousand Demon Hall is too powerful; compared to us, its threat is greater; if they get a chance to eliminate the Kunpeng Guardian, chopping off the Ten Thousand Demon Hall's left and right arms, those people will surely act.
Diewumeng clearly knows those forces; faced with absolute interests, grudges and favors alike will be set aside.
For their mutual interests, they will certainly… act against the Kunpeng Guardian; best if they can kill him.
The news of the Kunpeng Guardian's arrival can be suitably leaked, letting the Heavenly Heart Sect and the Mu Long Clan know; I believe they will surely react. Diewumeng said to Lan Tiansheng, telling him to spread this news, preferably letting everyone in Cangzhou and Lingzhou know.
Humans and demon beasts are inherently hostile, especially in Lingzhou where the Ten Thousand Demon Hall is overwhelmingly strong; the other human forces suppressed by it cannot catch their breath; the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, which has run rampant and domineered for many years, is arrogant and overbearing; those human forces have long sought ways to weaken it, but helplessly, the strength gap is too great.
No problem. Lan Tiansheng understood Diewumeng's meaning and immediately went to arrange this.
After another two days, the people Lan Tiansheng arranged spread the news.
Especially on Lingzhou's side, they let the human forces know; no one investigated how the news leaked, they only wanted to know whether it was true; after investigation, they found it indeed was.
Thus, the atmosphere in Lingzhou also became different.
Originally, Mangshan Demon Palace was under great pressure, many eyes watching them; now those eyes gradually disappear, turning instead to watch the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.
All this, the Kunpeng Guardian's Split Soul doesn't know; he is trapped, unable to free himself, countless mists entwine him, preventing him from struggling free or breaking through the Formation; this Split Soul is miserably consumed.
He is truly dumbfounded, somewhat unable to believe looking at his own Split Soul, he wryly smiled: "This Formation is truly disgusting; I underestimated this Formation, and also underestimated Longshe Shan."
There are talented people inside Longshe Shan; such a Formation cannot be laid down except by a Formation master.
No one in all of Lingzhou and Cangzhou could arrange such a Formation; unexpectedly, here he saw it.
After experiencing it, he finally knew how disgusting the Formation was, leaving him with no starting point; after so many days, he still had no clue; the Kunpeng Guardian was encountering this for the first time; originally he thought his Formation proficiency was not low, but after encountering this Formation, he realized how foolish he was.
Formerly, this Guardian sat at the bottom of the well and watched the sky, thinking he mastered most Formations, fearing none.
Unexpectedly, here this Guardian has fallen.
This Formation, I've never seen before, nor is it among those I know; yet its operating mode is very familiar—I can recognize it, but cannot break it.
It's simply impossible to break; this feeling is truly miserable.
