How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 441: The Mysterious Qing Ru
Qing Ru frowned: "What did the Left Envoy think of?"
"Someone tailed us into the Bridge Realm! And exited earlier than we did..."
Qing Ru exclaimed: "Could it be him?"
"If someone really did that, besides him, I can’t think of anyone else!"
The person they were talking about was Lin Xiaosu.
At the Mountain God Temple outside, the Left Envoy, through the mysterious disappearance of two groups of guards, was vaguely implanted with the figure of Lin Xiaosu, and now, this silhouette seemed to have materialized.
Because a Flying Eagle Army officer mentioned a keyword: again!
Again, what does it imply?
It indicates he was not the first batch of people to cross the boundary under the Flying Eagle Army’s nose.
Qing Ru pondered, "If it really is him, could the Abyssal matter also be related to him?"
The Left Envoy was deeply shaken...
This was something he hadn’t considered!
With Qing Ru’s reminder, he seemed to suddenly see a possibility...
What Li Qing did was filled with mystery.
Theoretically, Li Qing isn’t the type to do such things.
Because her identity is too special, she is the wife of the clan leader of the Li Tian Clan of the earth’s surface!
She is the mother of the Shocking God!
She would never do things for the Human Clan!
Yet she did.
Completely unreasonable actions, if looked at from another perspective, seem to have logic, which is Lin Xiaosu’s style, that if he were behind the changes in the Abyssal, it would truly make sense.
It aligns with that brat’s rotten tendencies.
It aligns with his instinct as a troublemaker.
It also aligns with his stealthy, masterful skills in disguise and transformation...
"Enough analysis! Go!" The Ninth Elder shouted abruptly.
Qing Ru and the Left Envoy exchanged glances and hit the road with them.
In this final look, the two seemed to understand each other as well.
The elders of the Ancestor Hall, each of them with their eyes above their heads.
They truly see themselves as ancestors ah.
Such Holy Envoys, wielding the Holy Lotus, are quite nauseating...
Once they exit the Bridge Realm and step into the sunlight, would the Divine Temple belong to them or to the Ancestor Hall?
Did the Ancestor Hall really take the opportunity to truly seize the Divine Temple and control Utopia?
It certainly seemed like it!
Along the path, they left nothing but carnage!
Ordinary soldiers, how could they be a match for experts of this level?
However, when they emerged from the basement to the surface, the Left Envoy was startled by the sight before him.
Dozens of tanks, with cannon muzzles aimed directly at them.
Thousands of soldiers, holding either assault rifles or rocket launchers.
In the air, helicopters...
No matter how powerful the combat prowess, facing this well-prepared army, anyone would be alarmed; this is the oppressive feeling of the military, and also the oppressive feeling of hot weapons.
However, the Third Elder suddenly raised his hand.
In his palm, a Green Wood Box!
The box suddenly opened, enveloping the entire space in bizarre and dazzling light.
The Left Envoy’s heart pounded in his chest.
He finally witnessed the majesty of the Holy Lotus.
With the opening of the Holy Lotus, an Illusion Realm formed.
Not only was it an unknown and ignorant illusion realm, but it could also guide the hearts of people...
Gunshots rang out!
But they were not shot at them; they were shot at the Flying Eagle Army itself.
With a single cannon shot, the command vehicle was destroyed.
A missile fired from a helicopter shot at another helicopter...
Everyone, at this moment, went insane, attacking their comrades fiercely...
Suddenly, the scene changed abruptly!
A large troop of Earthfall Beasts surged from the temple behind, madly charging toward the Left Envoy and his group.
The Left Envoy was taken aback: "Earthfall Beasts!"
"Hold them off!" The Third Elder’s face also changed...
His voice turned hoarse.
Because although his illusion realm was formidable, it was also targeted, having miraculous effects against an organized and disciplined army, having effects on humans, but far less effective against the Earthfall Beast army.
The Earthfall Beast army wouldn’t care what was ahead of them, they would trample over everything, as they would not die even if they fell into the abyss.
This brute-force combat method is the arch-enemy of illusion realms.
If they crushed through, even if these five were top experts, they would be ground into mincemeat under the claws of the Earthfall Army.
Why did the Earthfall Beasts mobilize?
Didn’t Elder Di just die, and shouldn’t the Earthfall Beasts be in eternal slumber underground?
The Left Envoy once again felt a sense of unease...
As a wise person, the last thing to fear is an ominous premonition, because it had been proven countless times that whenever he felt uneasy, nothing good ever happened.
The Seventh and Ninth Elders combined forces to resist the Earthfall Beast army’s assault on the Third Elder, because the Third Elder was currently activating the Holy Lotus Power to block the Flying Eagle Army, unable to endure the onslaught of the Earthfall Beast horde.
Their combat prowess was exceptionally strong, and their fighting spirit was tremendously resilient.
With a single strike, they forcibly broke through the forefront of the Earthfall Beast army charging at them.
However, the Seventh Elder cried out in shock: "Illusion Realm!"
The Ninth Elder also shouted: "The Earthfall Beasts are also an illusion realm!"
The Left Envoy’s heart skipped a beat, the Earthfall Beasts were an illusion too?
This illusion was not arranged by the Third Elder.
Besides their group, there was a third party!
Suddenly, his gaze fell, his heart almost stopping from fear...
The Green Wood Box in the Third Elder’s hand was gone.
The Third Elder’s expression turned abnormal, as if he suddenly lost consciousness...
On the perimeter, the soldiers’ eyes became clear.
A general shouted: "There! Fire at will!"
All the soldiers turned their guns and cannons toward the mountain top where the Left Envoy and his group were.
"Damn it! Retreat!" the Seventh Elder shouted.
With a swift movement, three figures leapt down the hillside.
Whizz... Whizz... Whizz...
Countless bullets passed through the Third Elder on the hillside, and even though he was a half-step Fourth Realm elder, he didn’t make any movement, allowing the bullets to pierce through his body.
The Left Envoy, still tumbling in mid-air, caught this scene from the corner of his eye and was bewildered.
Boom!
A shell struck the mountain top accurately, blasting the Third Elder into fragments, his head flying far away.
The Seventh Elder landed awkwardly, nearly stumbling.
The Ninth Elder’s eyes widened, following the arc of the flying head in shock...
"No... this is impossible!" the Seventh Elder roared.
How could the Third Elder be hit by ordinary warrior bullets?
How could he die on such a low-dimensional battlefield?
His combat power, half-step Fourth Realm!
In his hands, he possessed the Ancestor Hall’s treasured Moon Lotus!
He should have been able to walk unchallenged anywhere under the heavens...
The Left Envoy’s face turned pale: "Before this round of attacks, the Holy Lotus in Third Elder’s hands was gone! And his demeanor was off, as if his consciousness had been erased!"
"What?" the Seventh Elder fixed his sharp eyes on the Left Envoy.
The Left Envoy said, "Perhaps we’ve fallen into someone’s trap. The Third Elder used the Moon Lotus to subdue the enemy, but someone, using the Moon Lotus, created an illusion, feigning an attack by the Di Luo Army, distracting us. Taking advantage of the Third Elder’s full concentration, they seized the Moon Lotus and erased his consciousness!"
The Seventh Elder responded, "Impossible! Beside the Third Elder, there were only the four of us..."
His voice suddenly cut off.
The Ninth Elder’s eyes widened: "Where is the person beside you?"
The Left Envoy closed his eyes slightly: "Qing Ru! I don’t know... I don’t know where Qing Ru has gone!"
Boom!
A shell landed on the hillside beneath their feet!
The sky darkened with countless shells attacking simultaneously...
"Let’s leave first!" the Left Envoy shouted.
The three figures transformed into the form of fierce beasts in unison and, in a flash, darted into the forest behind them. Shells rained from above, soldiers filled the sky, but in the blink of an eye, they crossed the mountain ridge, escaping ten miles away.
Another mountain ridge loomed ahead.
The Left Envoy raised his hand, and a communication device appeared in his palm.
Contact!
The person he contacted was the Great Elder of the Divine Temple.
The call connected quickly, and the Great Elder’s voice came through, extremely urgent but very soft: "Left Envoy, is Qing Ru by your side?"
The Left Envoy’s heart raced: "Why do you ask, Great Elder?"
"Qing Ru is already dead, his remains were found in a secret chamber two months ago. The person with you is not Qing Ru!"
The Left Envoy’s hand trembled slightly.
The words that followed from the Great Elder fell on deaf ears. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Qing Ru!
Dead long ago.
His remains concealed in a secret chamber.
Discovered two months ago, after they had already entered the Bridge Realm.
The person by his side was never Qing Ru.
He, the Left Envoy, a wise man of the clan, advisor of the Divine Temple, adept in seeing through people and hearts, rarely erring, yet he never saw through the Qing Ru who often played chess with him, never showing ordinary intelligence.
In the past three months, Qing Ru always played the role of a follower.
No matter what the Left Envoy said, it was always "yes" or "ok".
No good advice, never displayed extraordinary intelligence, just a competent follower.
But today, everything changed!
Emerging from the Bridge Realm, facing the Flying Eagle Army.
The Third Elder had no choice but to use the Moon Lotus.
The power of the Moon Lotus, overwhelming.
Once the Moon Lotus was unleashed, even the formidable Flying Eagle Army was just pawns in their game.
It seemed they were about to capture this army, a force for the Divine Temple’s restoration.
Unexpectedly, Qing Ru took advantage of the opportunity.
He too borrowed the power of the Moon Lotus, creating another illusion—an army of Di Luo Beasts.
Distracting the Seventh Elder and the Ninth Elder.
He then seized the opportunity to erase the Third Elder’s consciousness and took the Moon Lotus.
Once the Moon Lotus was seized, the Moon Lotus illusion shattered.
The Flying Eagle Army broke free, pouncing on the three of them, while Qing Ru, seizing the moment, fled swiftly.
This was the entire content of Qing Ru’s strategy.
He killed Qing Ru, disguised as Qing Ru, infiltrating the Left Envoy’s side, all for the Moon Lotus!
Who is this person, really?
The Moon Lotus left Ancestor Mountain, encountering numerous obstacles, almost a result of Lin Xiaosu’s meticulous maneuvers step by step.
However, the ever-changing situation...
The final result was that the mysterious man disguised as Qing Ru easily plucked the fruit, considering the Left Envoy, the Divine Temple, the Ancestor Hall, even the clever Lin Xiaosu, as mere pawns!
The real orchestrator of the board was him!
The truly significant victory belonged to him alone!
The Middle East, full of intrigue.
Autumn in Fengcheng, as serene as ever.
Lin Xiaosu returned to Fengcheng, fed Miao Ruolan that night, and leisurely went home the next day.
After two and a half months underground, there were still those who worried.
The concern from over at Chang Ye was responded to with a message.
The worries from Yixiang warranted a lengthy phone call.
Ding Ruoshui’s concerns, mainly about her brother, didn’t require much interpretation.
Miao Ruolan’s concerns required no messages or calls; delivering her back and spending some intimate time was sufficient.
The parental concerns also needed no phone response, just directly going home.
Crossing Tashan Lake, his gaze fell on Tashan Peak.
The girl in the white guards’ post, of late, seemed to seek trouble without cause...
