Chapter 853: Breaking the Array

Chen Yu threw a Talisman on the ground, then gestured with his hand; the Talisman Rune on the ground suddenly shimmered with a faint light, and with a 'whoosh', the Array ignited, causing the stone pillar to shake violently.

"It's going to collapse here, let's go." Chen Yu grabbed Liu Lianxin and turned to leave quickly.

The two reached the surface and took Qiu Yanfang's younger brother away from there; they saw the underground rumbling incessantly, and immediately after, this small courtyard collapsed, while at the same time, ten thousand zhang of light converged to form a pillar of light that shot into the sky, then vanished into the night sky.

That night, countless people in Metaphysics could not sleep, watching that pillar of light shooting into the sky, all of them astonished and uncertain.

Of course, the strange phenomenon here was also filmed by many people, but in less than an hour, all the videos circulating on the internet disappeared, and some people who had filmed the phenomenon were visited by a group of mysterious men in black who demanded they delete the photos, so this matter did not cause any great uproar.

Xie Yu fled westward all the way; Chen Yu's final sword strike had hit his heart directly, and only after fleeing for dozens of kilometers did Xie Yu finally catch his breath.

When he looked back, he saw a pillar of light shooting into the sky; he knew that this meant the Great Array had been destroyed.

Xie Yu sat down on the ground, his heart filled with hatred; he cautiously took out a stone plate the size of a platter, with ancient exotic beasts carved on it.

"Chen Yu, do you really think it's over? Heh, the pillar plate of the Heaven and Earth Pillar is in my hands, and this is the essence of the Heaven and Earth Pillar. I will rest for a moment, find a suitable place to serve as an Array Base, and it won't be long before there is another Great Array."

"When that time comes, I will first wipe out your blood relatives and friends, and see what other methods you have." Xie Yu said sinisterly, putting the stone plate away.

Suddenly, a sharp aura came from behind him, and immediately after, a figure flashed; it was Ye Xinyu who had appeared.

"It's you, why did you come here?" Xie Yu was startled.

"Hand over the pillar plate." Ye Xinyu's expression was cold as she said indifferently.

"What do you want this for? We are all people of the Heavenly Mandate, everyone has their own duties, no one should offend anyone else." Xie Yu said angrily.

"Because the person you want to harm is the person I love." Ye Xinyu glanced at him coldly: "Hand it over, and I will leave your corpse intact."

"Heh..." Xie Yu laughed in extreme anger: "Ye Xinyu, don't think that just because the Heavenly Mandate gave you the Spirit Butterfly Soul, you can do whatever you want. You are nothing but a chess piece, and besides, you haven't cultivated as long as I have; do you really think you can snatch things from my hands?"

"Whether I can or not, won't we know if we try?" Ye Xinyu smiled faintly.

"We both work for the Heavenly Mandate; internal strife is a very serious matter." Xie Yu's expression became serious.

"Then hand it over, and I will leave your corpse intact. You failed this mission, and you definitely won't get past the Heavenly Mandate; this is the most important part of his plan." Ye Xinyu said: "Do you think you can still go back alive?"

"Was it the Heavenly Mandate who sent you? That's impossible." Xie Yu was shocked.

"Of course not, but as a subordinate, shouldn't one try to fathom the master's thoughts? I think the master won't blame me for killing a dog that failed its mission for him." Ye Xinyu smiled.

Xie Yu stared at Ye Xinyu; he suddenly saw a trace of murderous intent in her smile, and he turned his head abruptly, preparing to run after a few leaps.

But he was a step too late after all; Ye Xinyu flicked her three thousand strands of dark hair, and a giant butterfly shadow suddenly appeared. The butterfly shadow suddenly dispersed, and countless blue butterflies rushed toward Xie Yu.

Xie Yu let out a miserable shriek and fell to the ground with a thud; countless butterflies swarmed over him, and a moment later, Xie Yu turned into a pile of white bones.

Ye Xinyu was startled as a powerful aura locked onto her; her body stiffened, and she looked up.

She saw an extremely majestic aura appear in the world, and this aura locked her firmly in place; immediately after, her consciousness exploded, and she appeared on top of a mountain peak.

The surroundings of the mountain peak were pitch black, and at the same time, a figure appeared before her; this figure was none other than Chen Tianming.

The Heavenly Mandate's Cultivation was unfathomable; his consciousness could actually span the void and forcibly enter one's consciousness to communicate.

"Why did you kill Xie Yu?" Chen Tianming said sternly.

"He failed his mission, stole the pillar plate and fled, wanting to seek refuge with Chen Yu." Ye Xinyu's expression remained normal; facing the Heavenly Mandate's murderous intent, she was not afraid in the slightest.

"Truly?" Chen Tianming stared at Ye Xinyu, his powerful consciousness locking her in place.

Ye Xinyu felt her head buzzing; her body trembled as she squeezed a few words through her teeth: "Of course it is true. Xie Yu was cultivated by you personally; if I hadn't sensed that he was going to rebel, how would I dare to strike so heavily?"

Chen Tianming stared at Ye Xinyu, seemingly probing her heart, but her state of mind was as calm as a well, so her words were naturally believable.

"Then where is the pillar plate? Originally, Chen Yu was to have the Black Snake enter his body today, so that he would be under my control in the future." Chen Tianming shouted: "My plan was so meticulous, yet why did a variable still occur?"

"The pillar plate is missing. Master, since Chen Yu has the Purple Star Emperor Fate, and coupled with the two uses of the Taiyin Entering Life Great Method, the Nine Numbers of his Life Palace have all changed, so it is normal for some things to happen that we did not anticipate."

Ye Xinyu felt the other party's Divine Sense loosen slightly, and only then did she heave a sigh of relief: "I think we cannot be too hasty."

"If we don't control him now, he will grow up completely." The Heavenly Mandate shouted.

"The master is a bystander who sees things clearly." Ye Xinyu frowned slightly: "Since it is an Emperor Fate, it is natural for him to grow rapidly. If it doesn't work this time, we will find the next opportunity. If he were really so easily controlled by us, that would be abnormal instead."

"What you say is also right; I will leave the matters over there to you." Chen Tianming felt her words made sense, and he said indifferently: "You aren't still thinking of your husband-and-wife relationship with him, are you?"

"Of course not." A trace of fanaticism appeared on Ye Xinyu's face: "The master cultivates the Heavenly Great Dao; I have witnessed the power of the Heavenly Moon Nine Chapters and seen true strength, so how could I possibly have the same mindset as an ant? I want to become stronger and cultivate that supreme Great Dao."

"Very good, heh, do your work well, you will succeed. Keep an eye on Chen Yu, and report any movements to me in time." Chen Tianming was very satisfied with this answer; he nodded and vanished into the night sky.

Ye Xinyu stood where she was, not moving at all; as Chen Tianming's consciousness withdrew, her body staggered, and she nearly fell. Her face was as white as paper, and she breathed slightly.

Xie Yu was one of the Ten Asuras; the moment he died, the Heavenly Mandate sensed it immediately. Now, Xie Yu's corpse was rotting, and the pillar plate lay to the side.
