Chapter 431

"How dare you scheme against the Young Lord of my Fengdu Yin Division!"

The voice was like a great bell, seemingly raising bursts of thunder in the whistling night wind.

First it was "disciple," then it was "Young Lord,"

This means,

The Great Emperor formally declared intervention in this wave.

Looking into the distance, all are mountains towering into the clouds, range upon range;

Looking closely, one can still distinguish that one mountain is higher than another.

To achieve a goal, sometimes one does not need to wade into the water personally and get wet.

Being able to move a thousand pounds with four ounces is the true realm.

The Great Emperor's true body did not come personally, otherwise the karmic backlash from the Heavenly Dao would not have descended on the Fengdu Ghost City five thousand miles away.

What came was only a shadow of the Great Emperor.

This shadow could only block the tomb owner for a moment, but it was already enough.

The tomb owner, carrying the huge, scattered black figure behind it, launched an impact toward the Ghost Gate in front.

The Great Emperor stood right there.

Watching the Ghost Gate constantly crack, indifferent.

At this time, that set of armor appeared behind the tomb owner.

The tomb owner sensed it and stopped its actions.

At this moment, it had already clarified its own ending.

"Hehe... hehehe... hehehehe..."

Facing the result, there was no room for avoidance.

It felt that it was like a joke, a fool being played by others.

It was as if from beginning to end, it was the one focused on performing a one-man show, and the only audience member offstage was still enthusiastically giving it warm applause at every key node, never forgetting.

Actually, even until now, it did not know where it had actually made a mistake.

Because it could not realize that it had already been a fool for a very, very long time.

The dilapidated Ghost Gate collapsed with a bang, revealing the figure like a temple sculpture under the night sky behind it.

The Great Emperor's gaze fell on that set of armor.

From beginning to end, the Great Emperor did not waste a single bit of gaze on the tomb owner.

Avoiding does not mean fear, but rather being too lazy to be bothered.

A child from a neighboring house who likes to jump up and down—no matter how much of a stir they make, you are embarrassed to really open your mouth to reprimand them.

What's more, when it comes to naughtiness, it is far inferior to his own disciple who is good at closing doors.

The armor raised its hand toward the tomb owner.

The huge black shadow behind the tomb owner seemed completely unable to resist and was sucked in in an instant.

Including the tomb owner itself; after raising its head, its figure stretched and finally completely merged into this armor.

But the armor was put on, yet the tomb owner could no longer manifest; it no longer had the qualifications to wear and control this set of armor.

Before, it was free; later, this ancient burial became its cage; finally, its cell was confined within this set of armor.

Inside the helmet, there was no light, and no emotion.

However, the armor also seemed to be "meeting the gaze" of the Great Emperor.

The Great Emperor nodded slightly and spoke:

"Imperial Decree: Proclaim your entry into Fengdu."

The armored person turned around, took a step, and its figure disappeared from the spot.

The Great Emperor's shadow also dissipated subsequently.

In the spot, only a "Wordless Book" remained.

The wind blew the pages; the woman on the first page was covered in scars, tortured until she was almost unrecognizable, as if she had just experienced a period of unbearable suffering.

The "Wordless Book" was constantly flipped; page by page, this book began to be "blown away" by itself.

The "Evil Book" felt that it was free, finally having the opportunity to escape the grasp of that youth and welcome the vast sky that belonged to it.

After a while, accompanied by a "patter-patter" sound.

The "Wordless Book," against the wind, "flipped" back again.

The woman in the cell on the first page curled up in a corner, sobbing and uneasy.

She could escape, but her original body, the "Evil Book," had already been destroyed by the youth; now, she, who was entrusted in the "Wordless Book," did not have enough confidence to completely get rid of the sensing and tracking from the youth after escaping.

She knew very clearly that once an escape event happened, when she was unfortunately found again by that youth, what would be waiting for her.

Even she, who had just been bullied and humiliated, still felt a chill at the thought of this.

Furthermore, she also realized one thing, and that is that she seemed somewhat unwilling to escape.

Escape, but where can one escape to?

Go find another guy who can be bewitched, entrusted, and played with by her?

Before, she was extremely keen on this; now, she only felt it was boring and uninteresting.

She wanted to stay here, wait for the youth to come out and pick her up; after being flipped to the first page, she wanted to pour out that she had never given up resisting during the previous period, and even less had she taken the initiative to surrender, otherwise she would not have been kept disguised as "Ye Dui" and imprisoned on the second page.

She wanted to pour out to the youth how difficult her previous period had been, almost thinking that the youth was going to fold in this wave and she would never be able to see him again.

In the night wind that had not yet ceased its violence, a bit of bitter tenderness was mixed in.

If one passed by nearby, it seemed one could hear the woman's crying coming from the hidden depths, filled with endless grievances and bitterness.

"Wu-ying-ying-ai... wu-ying-ying-yo... wu-ying-ying, this bitter-fated person of mine, ai-yo-wei~"

Li Zhuiyuan supported the ground with his hands and slowly stood up from below the rock wall.

His injuries were not heavy, just more abrasions; moving between them was very painful.

Compared to the mental overdraft and torture, the damage to the flesh seemed easier to stimulate his threshold.

Runsheng lay on the ground; the counter-shock damage from the formation and the side effects of having all Qi gates fully opened made his whole body fall into paralysis.

However, he was still conscious.

When Li Zhuiyuan passed by him, Runsheng opened his eyes, his gaze moving downward to his own pocket.

Li Zhuiyuan squatted down, reached his hand over, and there, touched a can of Jianlibao.

When coming, the security check was strict; not only were there specialized security personnel, but everyone also had to pass through the range of a small formation subordinate to the great formation, so except for the clothes on their bodies, there were absolutely no other personal items.

This can of Jianlibao was seen by Runsheng in the well passage; it should have been left behind by the construction masters when they stopped work and evacuated, so Runsheng picked it up and put it in his pocket.

The treatment here was extremely good; things like drinks were supplied enough in every camp.

"Pfft!"

Li Zhuiyuan opened the Jianlibao and took a sip.

Seeing this, Runsheng closed his eyes with peace of mind and fainted.

Tan Wenbin knelt on the ground, his eyes completely white.

Li Zhuiyuan pressed his fingertip against his brow.

The situation was not very good; it would be difficult to regain consciousness in a short time.

Tan Wenbin burning the beast spirit at the critical moment to stimulate resentment and intimidating Ye Dui's five senses made Ye Dui lose the opportunity to take action to maintain this formation, enabling the youth's rapid breaking of the formation.

As for A You, he was the most miserable.

Lying there all red, unconscious.

Li Zhuiyuan first cleared a clean and flat space nearby, then gently pushed A You over.

Then his fingertips were as flexible as when setting up the formation, taking advantage of A You still being unconscious and having no pain, clearing away the stone debris on his body, otherwise when the flesh grew back, a second cleaning would be needed, which would not only be troublesome but also painful.

After doing these, Li Zhuiyuan stood up and walked toward a gossip-shaped meat tumor spread on the ground in front.

Being able to isolate the tomb owner outside and only fight with Ye Dui, who was serving the sentence on his behalf, was taking a very big advantage.

If facing the tomb owner directly, in a situation where the mask was torn off, his side would not even have the qualifications to fight it out based on combat power.

However, Ye Dui was also truly not easy to deal with.

This was an old fox in the true sense of the word.

Now it seems his side has paid a heavy price, but this bit of injury, for the whole team, can also be considered a common occurrence.

If Ye Dui's bell had exerted its due effect and summoned that group of Undead Knights, then the result would really be hard to say.

In the meat tumor, a face of Ye Dui emerged; he was trying hard to maintain his image, which could be considered his final stubbornness as a Confucian scholar.

"According to the plan, it should have been pretending to be my identity to approach you; there is one point, its performance was not wrong, I am just unwilling, why was I tricked into here, why do I have to suffer this kind of cruel torture..."

Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand, karmic fire condensed, and burned toward the meat tumor below.

There was no screaming, but the meat tumor twitched crazily; it should have been very painful.

After a while, the youth withdrew his hand, the karmic fire dissipated, and the meat tumor not only quieted down but also became smaller.

The youth bent down, picked up the meat tumor that was only the size of a palm, and held it in his hand.

Ye Dui was still insisting on wriggling, manifesting a smaller face.

Hmm, he even did not forget to continue a few whiskers for himself.

"It has returned, along with that set of armor.

When the human skin on my body is destroyed, the armor will inevitably take action, and its power originates from here, from that set of armor; it simply has no resistance to that armor."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Then it, can it still be considered a master?"
