Chapter 664: The Guest Star shines upon the Northern Literary Pivot

The Azure Iron Han Armor is collapsing.

Countless wounds are being torn and widened by the violent friction with the air, accompanied by the teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting, as pieces and chunks peel away.

Countless tiny spatial fragments strike the mechanical battle armor like hail, leaving behind dense pits and scratches; the clanging sounds hide a lethal killing intent.

Some larger spatial fragments strike or graze Unlike Ning Zhuo, causing his entire body to shake violently, as if his internal organs are being pulverized; fresh blood constantly overflows from the corners of his mouth and the gaps in his damaged armor, staining his Seeing Qing Chi's lapels red.

This is only because his internal organs have been modified by the Spirit God Art, granting them extraordinary tolerance. Otherwise, such extreme high-speed flight and sharp turns would have already caused him to suffer massive internal hemorrhaging.

The spatial storm, like a primordial beast with its jaws wide open, carries a massive, overwhelming force capable of crushing mountains and twisting steel, chasing closely behind Unlike Ning Zhuo, greedily devouring every inch of the remaining space.

It only comes to an abrupt halt upon reaching the limit of the Earth Lung Turbid Qi.

The Path of Returning Silence has completely vanished.

The spatial storm seems to begin devouring itself, and within a few breaths, it completely smooths out all turbulence, turning into a piece of profound, dead, and silent nothingness.

Subsequently, this void is eroded and infused by a massive amount of Earth Lung Turbid Qi, eventually being completely submerged.

This place has once again become a thick barrier of earth energy, but this time, Unlike Ning Zhuo does not have a second candle body to create a second Path of Returning Silence.

In fact, the Light Goose of the Grand Void Scattering Ruler also dissipated sadly after constructing the passage for the first time.

It reverted to the original appearance of a ruler.

Unlike Ning Zhuo does not know the spells of the White Paper City Lord and cannot manifest the Light Goose on his own.

Even using this heavy treasure is a struggle for him. After all, this is of magic treasure rank, while Unlike Ning Zhuo's own magic power quality is too poor, only at the Foundation Establishment level.

Unlike Ning Zhuo lands while holding Seeing Qing Chi.

The Azure Iron Han Armor emits a harsh, mournful cry, followed by the large-scale shattering and peeling of the back armor, and then the trend of disintegration rapidly spreads across his entire body.

This brand-new mechanical battle armor was completely written off before it had even been used for long!

It is evident how heart-stopping this life-and-death rescue mission was.

Even now, Unlike Ning Zhuo can clearly feel the cold, bone-chilling sensation of the void turbulence that seems capable of freezing the soul!

His heart thumps wildly, and his face is full of solemnity.

Since the start of this decisive battle, he has fallen completely into a passive position, on the verge of defeat.

And what brought this about was a single choice made by the main body of the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord. The silhouette of the Nether Flood Dragon aimed at the Path of Returning Silence was indeed incomparably sharp and precise, achieving a lethal result against Unlike Ning Zhuo and Luo Si in one strike!

Unlike Ning Zhuo's expression is extremely solemn.

Holding Seeing Qing Chi, he looks back into the distance, gazing at the turbid qi barrier that stands like a mountain wall, and he secretly grits his teeth.

The situation is quite dire.

Now, he and the Qingjiao Army are on one side, and Luo Si is on the other.

The turbid qi barrier isolates the transport of military force. Without the reinforcement of military force, how long can Luo Si hold out on that side?

"The previous hesitation was uncalled for, and it was not worth it!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighs in his heart: "I wonder if my spiritual sense transmission to Luo Si during this thrilling escape reached his side?"

He needs Luo Si to continue holding on to buy time.

Time is absolutely critical!

He needs time too much.

"Lord Lord Qing Yan!!!" A chorus of wailing sounds from within the Qingjiao Army.

"Seeing Qing Chi!!!" Other Ghost Clan cultivators fly urgently toward Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Meanwhile, Jiao Jiao Masheng's father also flies above the sacrificial military camp, shouting repeatedly in an attempt to stabilize the restless army.

Unlike Ning Zhuo narrows his eyes, immediately realizing that the Qingjiao Army is also very unstable, on the verge of collapse!

Even if this army was newly built, it can provide the most critical military force reinforcement. Without this reinforcement, Unlike Ning Zhuo, relying solely on himself, basically has no qualification to sit at the table of this decisive battle.

He must stabilize the Qingjiao Army!

The Qingjiao Army is divided into two major parts; one part is the Jiao family, which is very stable. But the other part is the Ghost Clan's Qing family. With Lord Qing Yan dead and Seeing Qing Chi unconscious, this part of the cultivators is left without a leader, extremely panicked, and their morale has plummeted to the bottom, placing them on the verge of collapse.

Divine Ability—Human Life Hanging by a Thread!

At the critical moment, Unlike Ning Zhuo directly plants the divine ability on Seeing Qing Chi in his arms.

He rapidly casts spells, with detection and healing methods applied one after another onto Seeing Qing Chi.

"Seeing Qing Chi, wake up, wake up quickly."

Seeing Qing Chi is of the Ghost Clan, and having been saved at the cost of the lives of Unlike Ning Zhuo, Luo Si, and Lord Qing Yan, her injuries are surprisingly not heavy, and she recovers quickly.

With the assistance of the divine ability, she opens her eyes.

After a brief moment of confusion, her eye sockets turn red, and tears quickly well up.

Unlike Ning Zhuo, however, directly places her upright on the ground, letting her stand, and grips her shoulders with both hands: "Seeing Qing Chi, now is not the time for sadness. Do you want revenge?!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo asks sharply, stunning Seeing Qing Chi.

Unlike Ning Zhuo shouts again: "Your father is dead, and the culprit is the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord. He is your father's killer; do you want revenge?!"

The sorrow on Seeing Qing Chi's face is rapidly replaced by anger and hatred.

Azure flames emerge from the depths of her pupils, and she responds through gritted teeth: "Yes! I must have revenge!!!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo takes a deep breath and looks directly into her eyes: "Right now, the perfect opportunity for revenge is before us."

"You need to stabilize yourself, and then lead the Qingjiao Army to continue stationed here. I need you to help me by providing military force."

"The more military force, the better!"

"Can you do it? Qingqing!"

"Only by working together can we destroy the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord's century-long plan, return peace and tranquility to White Paper Xiancheng, ensure your father did not sacrifice himself in vain, and seek justice for all the innocent lives sacrificed in the blood ritual!"

Seeing Qing Chi takes a deep breath and nods fiercely: "Little Ma, I will listen to you! Let's get revenge together!!!"

As she speaks, hot tears roll down from her eyes.

Unlike Ning Zhuo licks his dry lips; facing Seeing Qing Chi's clear and burning gaze, he finds it somewhat difficult to face her.

He turns his gaze toward the sky: "I have cast a spell on you that will allow you to receive my spiritual sense transmissions in time, and even gain my spell reinforcements."

He provides a cover for the divine ability Human Life Hanging by a Thread.

"Trust me!"

"We haven't lost yet."

"Next, as long as I find the flaw in this array, I can influence the battle situation again and rush to aid Luo Si!"

Wangchuan Xiancheng.

City Lord's Mansion.

"Heh, I've come in again." Zeng Zeng Jide, carrying Sun Sun Lingtong, turns into a puddle of black shadow, flowing like water through the gaps, and slips into the City Lord's Mansion once more.

Previously, he had almost distanced himself from the City Lord's Mansion.

But at the last moment, Sun Sun Lingtong's heartfelt words touched him, causing him to wake up with a start: Why did he also feel it was strange that he had obtained the Wangchuan Vortex Eye so easily?

Clearly, this was a trap deliberately set by the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord, specifically arranged and left for Zeng Zeng Jide to steal!

"The Wangchuan Prefecture Lord possesses the natural talent of Indulgence and Forgetfulness, which allows him to absorb the cultivation memories of others from the Wangchuan River."

"Therefore, even though he is a ghost cultivator, he is proficient in Confucian cultivation and even more proficient in array formations. The latter two points can be fully seen from his major actions this time."

"But despite possessing such profound attainments in array formations, he did not add any arrays to the Wangchuan Vortex Eye."

"This kind of arrangement is clearly meant for me to steal; he wanted to use this to dismiss me."

"Then, fearing that I would continue stealing here and cause worse damage, he activated his arrangements, sending out the gold-plated troops reinforced by national power, forcing me to flee in a sorry state."

"Very well, very well..."

Zeng Zeng Jide secretly grits his teeth.

This kind of perfunctory attitude from the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord is just like alms given to a beggar, greatly offending the self-esteem of a master thief.

Especially since Zeng Zeng Jide has a young junior from the same sect by his side.

Furthermore, this young junior is highly regarded and appreciated by Zeng Zeng Jide, who believes he has great prospects.

In the future, when the junior grows up and recalls today, he will inevitably laugh: The sect senior Zeng Zeng Jide was nothing more than this, easily dismissed by the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord.

Where would that leave Zeng Zeng Jide's old face?

Revenge, he must take fierce revenge!

Therefore, Zeng Zeng Jide turned around with Sun Sun Lingtong and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

"I want to give the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord the most profound lesson!"

This time, Zeng Zeng Jide leads Sun Sun Lingtong directly to the most core area of the City Lord's Mansion.

Regarding the Painted Skin Rakshasa, Zeng Zeng Jide still has no intention of helping.

He still only wants to teach the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord a lesson, not offend him to the point of death.

"Eh? The defense here is loose on the outside but tight on the inside, with an array arranged; it is very magnificent. Yet it is completely out of place with the surrounding defensive layout. Strange, strange."

Zeng Zeng Jide quickly notices the anomaly and is drawn toward it.

The old man and the young boy penetrate the array space and arrive at the core area, where they discover a giant rock.

The stone is over ten zhang thick and nearly a hundred feet long, looking like the fossilized spine of some creature.

The surface of the fossilized spine has a large amount of mud, lava, plant roots, etc., as well as many spiral-shaped twisted holes.

The giant rock is deeply rooted in the land, and it is absorbing Earth Lung Qi on a terrifying scale.

"What is this?" Sun Sun Lingtong asks Zeng Zeng Jide via spiritual sense transmission.

Zeng Zeng Jide: "This must be an Earth-element heavy treasure, currently using the array to disperse its power outward. Strange!"

"Such a grand arrangement must have a great purpose."

At this moment, Sun Sun Lingtong has a flash of inspiration and almost claps his hands: "This is great! Senior, since that Wangchuan Prefecture Lord bullies us so much, let's steal it and give him a profound lesson."

Zeng Zeng Jide, however, falls into hesitation: "This... will it offend the Wangchuan Prefecture Lord a bit too much?"

In a short time, he cannot identify the origin of the array surrounding the giant rock.

Black Cloud Space.

Rumble...

After a series of explosions, Unlike Ning Zhuo, wearing his third set of Azure Iron Han Armor, squeezes into an array space as black as ink.

All around is absolute dead silence and suffocating darkness.

The sharp pain coming from various parts of his body from time to time, as well as the fatigue deep in his bones, all remind Unlike Ning Zhuo of his thrilling escape just now.

There is no time for Unlike Ning Zhuo to treat himself leisurely.

He can only carry his injuries and race against time!

Panic and despair are firmly suppressed in the depths of his heart, and Unlike Ning Zhuo does his best to keep himself calm and focused.

"Ghost tides surge, White Paper is in danger; a lone swan carries a candle to break the heavenly veil. The Guest Star shines upon the Northern Literary Pivot; when the myriad phenomena are lit, the tribulation destroys itself."

"I luckily caused an explosion and entered the internal space of the array; I should follow the guidance of 'The Guest Star shines upon the Northern Literary Pivot' to reach the key position and carry out the destruction!"

This is the method to break the situation he had already thought of while on the sacrificial altar battlefield.

At this moment, forced by the situation, he has no choice but to take this step.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense spreads with difficulty in this viscous darkness.

Everywhere is thick black cloud, which severely hinders the performance of Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense.

He immediately throws out countless mechanical mirrors.

His spiritual sense refracts between the mirrors, rapidly expanding the detection range.

But it is still black cloud, rolling black cloud.

"It's time to use it."

Unlike Ning Zhuo takes out a small storage bag.

The white storage bag is semi-transparent, and inside is a mass of misty literary qi, emitting a snow-white light that shines outward through the bag.

Literary Light Reflecting Snow Pouch!

This was a gift from Wen Wen Ruanyu, and the bag stores much of his literary qi.

"Literary talent cherishes and competes... literary qi attracts each other..." Unlike Ning Zhuo chants silently in his heart, carefully activating the Literary Light Reflecting Snow Pouch.

The snow light suddenly brightens; initially, it was just a spherical mass of snow light, opening up the darkness and enveloping Unlike Ning Zhuo within it.

Immediately, the pouch itself seems to be pulled by some invisible force, slightly deforming. As for the spherical snow light, its directionality becomes extremely clear; it turns into a cone, with the tip stretching toward a certain direction.

Unlike Ning Zhuo does not hesitate and immediately accelerates in the direction guided by the Literary Light Reflecting Snow Pouch.

The closer he gets to the target, the more condensed and bright the snow light on the pouch becomes, as if pulled by a magnet. At the same time, the cone-shaped snow light body is no longer so sharp, the tip becoming increasingly blunt, deforming into an ellipse.

When Unlike Ning Zhuo truly arrives, the elliptical light body has almost reverted to a spherical shape, with a stable and pure light.

Unlike Ning Zhuo observes left and right, his spiritual sense enveloping the area, but he finds no abnormalities.

"The energy flow here is abnormally smooth; there should be a node, and the veins of the great array all converge and pass through here, yet they are cleverly hidden without the slightest leakage. If not for the guidance of the literary qi, it would be impossible to detect!"

He casts detection spells repeatedly, and only after a moment does his spirit lift.

"This must be a hub!"

"But I cannot be sure if it is my target..."

Unlike Ning Zhuo falls into hesitation again.

The array cannot be moved at will; if the true target is not found, moving one part affects the whole. It is very likely that if he moves this place, other hubs will become unrecognizable.

After thinking for a few breaths, Unlike Ning Zhuo still decides to mark this place first and then search around.

Sacrificial Altar Battlefield.

Pfft—!

Luo Si is sent flying backward like a broken sack, spraying fresh blood all the way.

Seriously injured!

The Earth Fiend Turbid Filth God pursues relentlessly, throwing a punch straight down; Luo Si, at the critical moment, narrowly dodges.

The Earth Fiend Turbid Filth God again pulls on the Earth Lung Turbid Qi to cover him; Luo Si takes out a talisman, gaining astonishing speed, and dodges again.

He has no military force reinforcement, and his two major trump card magic treasures have one destroyed by an explosion and the other stuck on the Earth Fiend Turbid Filth God, firmly absorbed by the latter.

The moment of death is close at hand.

The Wangchuan Prefecture Lord hides in a tributary and no longer attacks, focusing all his efforts on wearing down the ice coffin to retrieve the Nether Flood Dragon Scissors.

The Earth Fiend Turbid Filth God laughs loudly: "Luo Si, you traitor! What madness has possessed you to defect to White Paper Xiancheng?"

"Look at you now! The 'Young Master' you defected to has abandoned you, holding his beloved and running away directly!"

"You defected to such a person?"

"To think you could be fooled by the Gray Bone Old Man to this extent?!"

Luo Si says nothing, fleeing in a sorry state under the continuous offensive of the Earth Fiend Turbid Filth God.

The Earth Fiend Turbid Filth God loses his final patience and grins as he attacks: "You Zhao Die first, and the Gray Bone Old Man is also doomed!"

Luo Si is restrained by the turbid qi, watching helplessly as the lethal fist is about to smash his head.

Pfft!

At the moment of life and death, the Earth Fiend Turbid Filth God suddenly deflates, his fist affected and veering off course, striking Luo Si on the shoulder.

Luo Si is injured on top of injuries, but ultimately keeps his life.

The Earth Fiend Turbid Filth God is shocked and furious, throwing another punch.

Pfft!

He deflates again, his divine body shrinking suddenly like a punctured balloon.

What is going on?!

Wangchuan Prefecture Lord:?!!! ===== CHAPTER 665 =====
