65. Preparations Before the Decisive Battle
“Here…”
After jumping down from Xuan Lingling’s back, Gong Yiling immediately discovered that her cultivation and spiritual energy had actually returned.
Yes, it was because this place needed to use talismans to seal Bi Yao’s body, so this place did not use the immeasurable meteorite iron.
This arrangement was originally a good intention. Otherwise, there would be no way to restrict Bi Yao herself—unless she was really given a sleeping bag made of immeasurable meteorite iron.
But now, this arrangement was probably…
“The appearance of this dragon is quite surprising.” Bi Yao’s voice came from behind one of the stone pillars. “However, even if you’ve come here, the situation will not change in any way.”
She took out the box in her hand and, after opening it, let the insects inside crawl all over one of the pillars.
“I won’t let you succeed—”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gong Yiling and Yan Chuyue launched an attack on the insects on the stone pillar.
And Xuan Lingling also very consciously rushed directly towards Bi Yao, in order to prevent her from interfering.
However, although Bi Yao was indeed stopped by Xuan Lingling, the spiritual arts of Gong Yiling and Yan Chuyue were instead blocked by the barrier created by this talisman.
“Holy crap!”
She hadn’t thought of this level. Who would have thought that this thing would actually turn around and screw them over?
“I told you it’s useless.” Bi Yao, under Xuan Lingling’s impact, seemed to still have some strength left. After a series of dodges, she leaped back and stood on one of the stone pillars.
Xuan Lingling unceremoniously spat out a mouthful of dragon’s breath, which happened to hit that stone pillar. As a result, the other party directly used a shield to reflect it, and she was instead sent into the wall, making a few loud noises.
“If this thing could be affected by you, then my royal brother’s ability is probably only this much.” Bi Yao sneered. “This Gu insect is specifically for talismans. You can’t do anything about it.”
“You!” Gong Yiling instinctively wanted to take out the Huai Po You Qu and play with her again, but in just this short time, those Gu insects had already chewed through an entire stone pillar and the talismans on the iron chains.
Instantly, an extremely powerful pressure spread out from the stone coffin in all directions.
How exaggerated was this pressure? It was so exaggerated that only the tip of the iceberg was revealed, and this power was enough to make Gong Yiling feel as if something was tightly squeezing her heart.
What was this feeling similar to?
Yes, this feeling was very similar to the feeling of dealing with a part of the Heavenly Sin’s lingering soul.
However, there were indeed some differences between the two. The power of the Heavenly Evil was more directly acting on the body, while the power of the Heavenly Sin was instead acting on the spiritual level.
Therefore, although she had the sword intent of a Sword Saint in her body, she couldn’t alleviate the physical discomfort brought by the pressure of the Heavenly Evil.
“What should we do now?” Yan Chuyue also asked with an indescribable palpitation. “Since she’s so certain that she has a way to leave here after the seal is broken, we can’t gamble on this.”
Yes, although this cage was unbreakable from both inside and outside, they absolutely could not gamble on this probability.
Once they lost the gamble, it would be a complete loss.
What they had to do now was to take back the initiative!
And just then, the system inexplicably made a special sound.
“Alert, you have completed the quest [Crossroads]. Since the final beneficiary is Murong Yun, the system judges that you have completed the quest.”
Good heavens, she had almost forgotten about this quest.
And this final beneficiary, Murong Yun, was a bit too ironic. Even without her help, Murong Yun still had a powerful backer in her body. This backer was much more powerful than a cheat, the kind that could guarantee a win even while lying down.
“Therefore, the system reward [Underground Divine Palace – City of the Desolate God] map has been placed in your backpack. Please check it yourself.”
Alright, this was the right time to get the map—alright my ass!
What was the use of giving her the map now? To tell her where she could run the fastest, and let the Heavenly Evil and Bi Yao do whatever they wanted?
Good heavens, this system really liked to pull some incomprehensible moves to disgust people.
However, just as Gong Yiling was about to greet the system’s family, this map actively popped up in front of her.
The description of the map was quite detailed. It basically showed every part of this City of the Desolate God in her eyes. Some very obvious landmarks, such as this tall tower and the place where that giant wind-powered mechanical vehicle was parked, were all marked.
Of course, it also gave the detailed icons of the tall tower, such as the sealing platform below, and the Seat of the Rising Sun at the dome. The key markers were in these two places.
Strange… she could understand why this sealing platform was marked as a key point, but why was the Seat of the Rising Sun above also marked?
Could it be that…
Gong Yiling quickly flashed a thought in her mind.
Since this emperor had made so many preparations, and his arrangements were so cautious, then he should have also thought about it, if the Heavenly Evil underground really had a day to break free.
Could it be that, at the highest place, he had indeed made preparations?
Thinking this, Miss Gong’s hands did not stop.
First was the Huai Po You Qu. Just now, only one pillar had fallen, and the result was so frightening. It was not a good idea to let those small insects continue to gnaw on the other pillars.
The dream channel reopened, and the hazy dream reappeared. And this time, Gong Yiling and Yan Chuyue, who had already experienced the effect once in a short period of time, did not get the same debuff again. As for Bi Yao, she also seemed to have no similar symptoms.
“It’s just Gu poison. Do you really think this thing is effective on me?”
Bi Yao sneered. “How naive.”
“Not at all.” Miss Gong, while applying the Nine-Tailed Min to Xuan Lingling to remove the Gu, pointed at the Gu insects that had completely stopped moving and said, “This thing is also useful against Gu insects. If you have the ability, why don’t you take out some more of these Gu insects and try?”
Bi Yao, sensing the other party’s intention, couldn’t help but frown slightly. “—You, you think I have no way to kill you now?”
As some of the talismans were undone, the pressure on Bi Yao’s body was obviously much greater than before. Combined with her appearance, she really had the look of a white-haired demoness.
“Of course I know you have a way to kill me, but you’re like you’ve just pulled one hand out of the grave. If you don’t hurry up and dig your body out of the ground, you won’t be interested in spending your energy on me.”
As she spoke, she pulled Yan Chuyue and sat on Xuan Lingling’s back. “Of course, I’m not going to waste my time with you now. You can find a way to get out yourself. Bye-bye.”
