Chapter 834: Each Has Their Own Schemes

Woo-woo!

A desolate horn echoed among the mountains.

Very quickly, the entire Xiqi army mobilized, five million troops marching in a vast, mighty force toward Sishui Pass.

By this time, more than half of the Loose Immortals who had been lying in wait had already left.

Those who were just there to watch the spectacle were also nearly gone.

How could the war between the Yin-Shang and Xiqi be more important than listening to a Saint preach the Dao?

"Eh? Didn't Xiqi just retreat? Why are they sending out troops again, and almost their entire force at that?"

"When things are abnormal, there must be a Demon at work. Could it be that Xiqi is confident they can break three arrays in a row and also breach Sishui Pass? Otherwise, they wouldn't mobilize so many people."

"This poor Daoist has a feeling that Sishui Pass is in danger."

The lurking Loose Immortals discussed it heatedly, opening their live streams one after another, and soon countless viewers flooded in.

Countless bullet comments filled the screens, and everyone was also confused.

Sishui Pass.

Han Rong's expression was grave: "Xiqi has mobilized their entire force. This is the rhythm of them being certain they can breach Sishui Pass."

Zhao Gongming and the others were not stupid either; they all thought of the suspicious aspects.

A cold glint flashed in Yao Bin's eyes: "If they want to breach Sishui Pass, they must first break this poor Daoist's Soul-Falling Array."

Zhao Gongming hurriedly said: "Junior Brother, you must not be careless. The Chan Sect are all hypocritical and treacherous people. With them acting so abnormally, they are likely brewing some conspiracy. Caution is our priority."

The other two Heavenly Lords, Wang Bian and Zhang Shao, also echoed: "Indeed, Senior Brother, there is likely a Ghost in this."

Although Yao Bin had confidence in the Soul-Falling Array, he was also worried that the Chan Sect had underhanded tricks, so he asked: "Then what do you all think we should do?"

Han Rong chuckled: "Immortal Master Yao, this is simple. Have Immortal Master Zhao, Immortal Master Wang, and Immortal Master Zhang hide inside the Soul-Falling Array first. That way, no matter what conspiracy the Chan Sect has, we need not fear. Plus, with the Array Formation blocking the way, the outside world won't know what is happening inside."

Yao Bin's eyes lit up: "Good."

Zhao Gongming, Wang Bian, and Zhang Shao had no objections.

If it were in the past, they would have disdained to do such a thing.

But the Chan Sect had repeatedly "broken the rules" first, leaving them no choice but to be on guard; after all, no one was a fool.

Soul-Falling Array.

Standing on a high platform, Yao Bin looked at the overwhelming Xiqi army and sneered: "It seems you still haven't remembered the previous lesson, to actually come again. Speak, who is coming to die this time?"

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun flew over and shouted sternly: "Evil obstacle, you used a Secret Technique to curse my Senior Brother Chijingzi to death, you are extremely shameless. Today, watch how this poor Daoist breaks your array and takes your head."

Yao Bin's eyes narrowed slightly.

Seeing that only Qingxu Daode Zhenjun had come to break the array without a hundred Mysterious Immortals following him, he knew the Chan Sect indeed had a problem.

He just couldn't imagine what kind of means the Chan Sect had hidden.

However, thinking that Zhao Gongming and the other two were in the array, he felt much more secure and sneered: "Boastful words. This poor Daoist will wait for you in the array."

After speaking, he did not look back and plunged into the Soul-Falling Array.

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun did not pause either and flew directly into the Soul-Falling Array.

This scene stunned the onlookers of Honghuang:

"Is this Qingxu Daode Zhenjun so iron-headed? He actually entered the array alone?"

"If he isn't stupid, then he must have something to rely on. It seems Qingxu Daode Zhenjun has some incredible trump card."

"Sigh, what a pity. With the array blocking us, we can't see what is happening inside at all."...

Inside the Soul-Falling Array, the baleful aura was sharp.

Walking through the Soul-Falling Array, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun actually felt a sense of trembling; the sharp baleful aura made his hair stand on end, and his skin felt as if it were being sliced by countless Swords.

If not for the thought of having the Taiji Diagram on him, he would have wanted to turn around and flee.

Very quickly, he discovered Yao Bin.

Yao Bin stood on the high platform, looking coldly at Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, and sneered: "Qingxu, you are quite bold to actually dare to come in. It seems you have something to rely on."

"If I had no support, how would this poor Daoist dare to enter the array!"

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun sneered. He did not hide anything, directly taking out the Taiji Diagram and shaking it violently. Immediately, an extremely terrifying aura erupted, pushing away all the surrounding baleful aura.

"Yao Bin, not only you, but Wang Bian, Zhang Shao, and even Zhao Gongming, your death dates have arrived."

"What, the Taiji Diagram!"

Yao Bin exclaimed, his eyes nearly popping out.

Please... you... collect 6... 9... books...!

"What, how did you know we were inside?"

This was Zhao Gongming and the other two.

They had been hiding in the array and did not expect to be discovered directly by Qingxu Daode Zhenjun. Furthermore, they were shocked by the Taiji Diagram, so they no longer hid and rushed out one after another.

Seeing Zhao Gongming and the other two, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun was also startled.

His previous sentence was just to tell Yao Bin that besides the opponent, he also intended to kill Zhao Gongming and the others, but who knew these three were actually hiding in the Soul-Falling Array.

"You... you are shameless!"

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun was anxious and furious.

The Taiji Diagram was indeed an Innate Supreme Treasure, but holding it in one's hand did not make one invincible. Even for a Chaos Spirit Treasure, exerting its power required someone to activate it.

In his hands versus in Laozi's hands, the power of the Taiji Diagram was not at all the same concept.

Yao Bin sneered: "Shameless? No matter how shameless, it is still your Chan Sect that did it first. If you weren't shameless, why would you borrow the Taiji Diagram from your Senior Uncle? Fortunately, this poor Daoist had an extra bit of caution, otherwise, I would have been succeeded against by you Chan Sect villains."

"Then let us see if you can withstand the Taiji Diagram."

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun also knew that more talk was useless; he decided to strike first to seize the initiative, so he frantically urged his magic power, pouring it into the Taiji Diagram without any regard for the consequences.

Instantly, earth, water, wind, and fire evolved around the Taiji Diagram, and a golden bridge burst forth from it, radiating five-colored light, with the other end of the bridge landing above the heads of Yao Bin and the others.

The Taiji Diagram can stabilize earth, water, wind, and fire, and naturally, it can also stabilize people.

Having experienced the Yang Spirit killing Taiyi Zhenren and Chijingzi killing Lv Yue, Zhao Gongming and the others had become much more alert, so when they saw Qingxu Daode Zhenjun make his move, they also struck at almost the same time.

With a wave of his large hand, Zhao Gongming struck out with the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls toward Qingxu Daode Zhenjun.

Wang Bian and Zhang Shao each unleashed their peerless divine abilities.

As for Yao Bin, he hurriedly urged the Soul-Falling Array, and a vast, mighty baleful aura descended from Heaven, blocking the front of the high platform, but it did not last long before it was shattered by the golden bridge formed by the Taiji Diagram.

In the end, Yao Bin, Zhao Gongming, and the other four were immobilized, and the surrounding Space-Time completely solidified.

However, the two peerless divine abilities unleashed by Wang Bian and Zhang Shao, as well as the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls, still arrived one after another.

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun hurriedly shook the Taiji Diagram, blocking it in front of himself.

Boom—!

The two peerless divine abilities and the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls struck the Taiji Diagram one after another; the former two were like stones cast into the sea, not even stirring up a single ripple.

But the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls, upon colliding with the Taiji Diagram, caused a series of massive explosions.

The terrifying explosions forced Qingxu Daode Zhenjun to retreat repeatedly, the Taiji Diagram in his hand vibrating incessantly, which also caused the golden bridge to dissipate into the Xukong Sword Sword Sword Sword.

In the first round, both sides could be considered tied. (End of chapter)
