“What do we do now?” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel_fіre.net
Xu Nanzhi asked Su Chengyu, who was clearly worried, but Su Chengyu glanced at the situation and did not immediately respond.
Against Earth Immortal foes, before Ye Qingci arrived, they only had Long Xuan, the Heaven-Mending Stone, and himself to barely contend in a fight.
But it was evident that the number of Earth Immortals in the Demonic Path was far more significant, which was why Su Chengyu had always been reluctant to keep Long Xuan around.
Good steel should be used on the blade; he didn’t want to reveal his trump card so quickly.
Yet, the current situation was truly just about leaving Ao Tian and the others here, unquestionably risking their lives to buy time for Su Chengyu and others, something Su Chengyu could never decide to do.
“What are you hesitating about, man? Didn’t you say that kid from the Yang Family has already gone to get reinforcements for us? Then there’s no need to worry about us. The situation at Langma Peak is far more troublesome than expected.”
Long Ao Tian roared and then struck a Dharma Body in front of him with great effort, still charging forward, creating opportunities for Ling Xiao and Bai Qiu.
In terms of absorbing the Divine Beast Immortal Core, Long Ao Tian was undoubtedly the slowest, but it did not affect his being the most diligent among them.
Loyalty and passion, from the first day Su Chengyu met Long Ao Tian, he seemed never to have changed.
“Su Chengyu, don’t worry. If we really can’t manage, I will take them and flee. But then, I’ll need you to handle this guy.”
Ling Xiao spoke coldly. She wasn’t someone who liked to boast, and saying such a thing meant she was confident she could accomplish it. However, this result wasn’t different from leaving Long Xuan behind at this moment, which still couldn’t persuade Su Chengyu to take the risk.
“Don’t worry. As long as that guy brings back Xuanwu, forming a Four Symbols Great Formation will ensure that this little old man is not our match.”
Su Chengyu remained silent, then looked in the direction Yang Junmo had left.
“Chengyu, I think you should trust Bai Qiu and the others’ confidence, even more so the decisions of Yang Junmo and his group.”
“Didn’t you bring them here because they’re now the most trustworthy people to you?”
Xu Nanzhi interrupted Su Chengyu’s doubts, looking steadfastly at her man.
She knew how much Su Chengyu carried on his own to get to this day.
But now, he was no longer standing alone at the forefront.
He had strong support and dependable partners, which were his reasons for daring to confront Zhao Xuanzhen and bring everyone to Langma Peak.
Su Chengyu took a deep breath, finally shedding his hesitation.
“Not dead yet! No need to shout so loudly!”
Long Ao Tian, already covered in injuries, was still full of strength, clearly unharmed on the inside. The Divine Beast Immortal Core’s continuous supply of Spiritual Energy made them almost infinitely close to the power of Earth Immortals. What they needed now was just an opportunity to turn the situation around.
“Yang Junmo will definitely bring back Xuanwu. You must hold on until then!”
“Nonsense! I was inexplicably dumped into this Lower Realm; I’m not planning to die here!”
The roar of a dragon echoed throughout Langma Peak. Watching Long Ao Tian, transformed into an Azure Dragon, collide actively with Xiao Dingtian, Su Chengyu hesitated no more, turning into a sharp sword with Xu Nanzhi, leading the others towards the summit of Rum Peak.
“Su Chengyu, about Yang Junmo…”
“Qianxiao, I know you’ve always thought Yang Junmo is unreliable, but people do grow.”
Su Chengyu spoke to Bei Tang Qian Xiao.
Bei Tang Qian Xiao bit her lip and said, “True, what right do I, a newcomer to Hollow Vacuum, have to speak about him?”
After returning from Southern Xinjiang, Bei Tang Qian Xiao had also successfully entered Hollow Vacuum, but the threshold to the Earth Immortal was still indefinite.
Not to mention compared to the front-runners like Long Xuan, Ye Qingci, and Su Chengyu, even to the second team of Yu Shuang and Yang Junmo, she was evidently half a step behind.
Thinking of this, Bei Tang Qian Xiao looked at Xu Nanzhi and said, “This Earth Core Lotus Fragment with the inheritance of the Road of Destruction should have been yours.”
Xu Nanzhi shook her head with a smile, “Everyone has their destiny; having the Earth Core Lotus is clearly not mine. Besides, I’m not the one Yan’er chose. You’re the most suitable. And if we’re considering turns, it should be Lin An’s sister first.”
Bei Tang Qian Xiao was momentarily stunned, then understood, “True, just speaking of talent, Princess Lin An is in no way inferior to Long Xuan and the others.”
Chen Mengmeng was the first to notice; they’d arrived at their destination, the summit of Langma Peak.
Su Chengyu looked around before sensing something amiss and spoke, “Is there a Formation here?”
“Yes, it’s very hidden. If we hadn’t known there was a secret here, we might not have connected the dots.”
Different places have different appearances.
As the tallest peak, Langma Peak, already had many anomalies mingling together, which wasn’t surprising.
And that strange Formation was hidden among the various anomalies here, making it difficult to detect.
Su Chengyu asked, looking at Chen Mengmeng and Long Xuan. Regarding breaking formations, they were obviously the professionals.
Chen Mengmeng didn’t speak; after surveying, Long Xuan replied, “It’s a bit tricky. I can’t do it alone.”
“What about together with Mengmeng?”
At Long Xuan’s words, Chen Mengmeng immediately turned to him, “Then I’ll assist.”
Saying this clearly showed that Chen Mengmeng didn’t have any plan herself, even after gaining the entire Qingcheng Sect’s inheritance and the convenience of the Power of Cause and Effect, she was still helpless with the Formation here.
After agreeing, Long Xuan and Chen Mengmeng began working together to break the Formation, while Su Chengyu was keeping an eye on their surroundings, staying alert for unexpected events and looking for traces left by others.
“These traces are from long ago.”
Xu Nanzhi, doing the same, shared her discoveries with Su Chengyu.
Traces from long ago, signifying not much connection with the Demonic Path, unable to provide much help to the current situation.
However, Su Chengyu still found some useful information among these traces.
“Indeed, they are old traces, but familiar ones. Qianxiao, Yu Shuang, come and confirm these.”
Upon hearing Su Chengyu call, Bei Tang Qian Xiao and Yu Shuang immediately approached, looking at the peculiar Tai Chi diagram nearly imperceptible under the snow. Both furrowed their brows in unison.
Both looked up in surprise at Su Chengyu, but they already understood without needing confirmation from him.
“It seems my judgment was correct. These are traces left by Senior Qingxu Zi.”
