NOVPUB"Junior Brother Tang, be careful!"
Song Dongyang swiftly retreated, urgently exclaiming.
It was Tang Ji who had made his move!
But before the smile on Tang Ji’s face could fully bloom, it instantly froze!
The golden chains that once easily locked the Tianmen’s head were now suddenly taut, on the verge of snapping!
"Not good!"
Tang Ji’s face changed dramatically.
However, at this moment.
Everyone heard a light shout:
"Rise!"
The next moment, a circular formation centered around ’Protector Ke’ suddenly lit up.
It actually completely enclosed ’Protector Ke’ in an instant.
Within the formation, countless mighty figures emerged, swarming towards ’Protector Ke’!
However, soon, this Class IV formation began to shake slightly!
A formation?!
"Retreat quickly!"
A familiar and calm voice suddenly rang out.
Wang Ba?!
Tang Ji glanced at the formation around ’Protector Ke’, which he recognized; he was initially stunned, then immediately reacted.
But instead of retreating, in an instant, he threw the remaining forty or so Class IV Thunder Seeds from his body into the formation!
Although these items were not very effective against cultivators with the freedom of movement, when used in a confined environment, they were tremendously powerful.
He then shouted loudly:
"Go!"
Wang Ba, who was already at the edge, exerted all his effort to activate the formation and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately flew away.
Everyone else also came to their senses.
And they all crazily flew towards Chen State in the west!
The next instant.
A thunderous roar came from the formation behind the fleeing crowd!
As Tang Ji scanned with his Spiritual Sense while fleeing at high speed, he saw the dust settling, and a charred body, completely unrecognizable as human, stood upright in its place.
It was clearly devoid of all life.
Tang Ji instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the powerful Clerics of Ten Thousand Gods’ Country, even those practicing Body Cultivation, would undoubtedly die facing so many Thunder Seeds head on.
But then his expression suddenly stiffened!
Behind the charred body.
A small hand, smooth and tender like lotus root, suddenly reached out.
Then, an infant’s head emerged, with a face delicate and adorable; yet those pitch-black eyes were devoid of any life, inert like a doll’s, quietly watching the distance.
The dark pupils, like shiny beads, reflected the fleeing figures of everyone in the distance.
Tang Ji’s face changed drastically at this sight!
"It’s the Infant Deity!"
"This is bad!"
The next moment.
He felt as if the scenery that was rapidly passing by all around him had suddenly started moving in reverse!
As if time was flowing backward.
No!
It wasn’t time flowing backward!
It was all of them being pulled back!
Tang Ji was horrified.
Song Dongyang wore a shocked expression.
Everyone was stunned and confused.
At this moment, everyone heard a voice like that of a babbling baby:
"...Dungeon... I want..."
...
Chen State, Ghost Market Stage II.
Enforcer Bao stood in front of the Teleportation Array, working frantically with Shang Li to activate the Token given by Tang Ji.
However much he increased his mana, the Token floating above the Teleportation Array was still moving up and down leisurely, not in any rush.
As the Token rose and fell, the array patterns of the Teleportation Array below lit up one by one.
"Why is this Teleportation Array so slow!" Enforcer Bao couldn’t help but anxiously shout.
Shang Li explained with a look of helplessness:
"The location of Ghost Market Stage III is extremely special. To connect the Teleportation Array there, aside from needing Spirit Stones, a large amount of mana needs to be injected. However, if too much mana rushes in at once, it will cause the array pattern to fracture, so we can only do it this way."
Hearing this, although Enforcer Bao was anxious, he had no choice but to suppress the urgency in his heart and inject mana bit by bit.
Finally.
As time ticked away, and with the last array pattern lighting up.
The Token suddenly returned to Enforcer Bao’s hand.
Simultaneously, the Teleportation Array also lit up entirely.
Enforcer Bao and Shang Li quickly stepped into it.
Soon, after a moment of dizziness.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves at the end of a street market.
Looking into the distance.
The street market was hung with signs and banners, yet it was deserted and eerily quiet.
Enforcer Bao didn’t have time to marvel, and immediately took Shang Li and rushed to the other end of the market.
There, too, was a Teleportation Array.
"Ghost Market Stage III isn’t open right now. Uncle Bao, if you want to use this Teleportation Array, you’ll need to use the Guardian Order again," Shang Li quickly pointed out.
Enforcer Bao, looking at the Teleportation Array which was much larger than the one in Ghost Market Stage II, felt a moment of darkness come over him.
Despite his frantic state, he still immediately activated the Token and injected mana into it.
However, after a full incense stick of time, the Teleportation Array’s array patterns had only lit up about one quarter of the way.
"Isn’t there a faster way?" Enforcer Bao couldn’t help but ask.
Shang Li shook his head:
"There’s no other way, unless the Sect itself actively connects to Ghost Market Stage III... Huh?"
He was surprised to see the array patterns in front of him suddenly lighting up one after another:
"Someone from the Sect is coming!"
Enforcer Bao was stunned.
The light from the formation quickly began to fade.
In the middle of the formation, the figure of a burly man appeared.
The man, with a bare chest displaying his explosive muscles, had eyes as deep as mountains and abysses.
And his aura was unfettered and surging mightily.
"Immortal Ascension?!"
...
Song State.
Near the border with Chen State.
An infant slowly crawled out from atop Protector Ke’s charred body.
The infant’s face was as delicate as a porcelain doll’s, but it had a pair of lifeless large eyes.
