Chapter 176: Chapter 173: The Decision of the Master of the Ruined Pavilion

DONG! DONG! DONG!!!

On the battlefield.

The Vajra Daoist Soldier sat cross-legged in the void. The Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish floated before it. With its eyes closed, it struck the Wooden Fish, producing a sound that covered the entire battlefield.

One could say.

The Vajra Daoist Soldier had channeled all of its power into the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish.

“Infinite Celestial Venerable.”

The Master of the Ruined Pavilion took in the entire scene. Everything had happened far too quickly. From the moment the Vajra Daoist Soldier took out the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, to the sound of it being struck, to the current situation—only a few seconds had passed.

Therefore, it was too late for the Master of the Ruined Pavilion to stop any of it. And as he watched, the top experts of Moon River Prefecture City began to break free from their restraints one by one.

Most importantly.

Lan Yu, Zhou Yi, and Wu Dao Ming had regained consciousness. Although they had lost the power granted by the Reincarnation Heart Demon, they had recovered their true selves and saved their own lives.

As a result.

Li Shang, the master of the Reincarnation Ruins, had lost several capable assistants. Of his original six Heart Demon Puppets, only three remained. Two of them had already had their consciousnesses annihilated. Only the Blood-haired Ancestor, even after regaining his senses, still fanatically revered Li Shang as his master, proving himself to be utterly insane.

The Master of the Ruined Pavilion took a deep breath, his expression complicated. He raised and lowered his right hand several times before finally letting out a soft sigh.

Clearly.

The Master of the Ruined Pavilion no longer wanted to intervene.

From the very beginning.

The Master of the Ruined Pavilion had been like an outsider, watching the storm brew in Moon River Prefecture City without ever truly making a move. Even this time, he hadn’t truly acted.

Originally.

Li Shang’s actions had been quite impressive. He had suppressed all the top experts in Moon River Prefecture City, used the promise of an inheritance as bait to lure in forces from all sides, and then planned to capture them all in one fell swoop, using them as nourishment for his own resurrection.

He truly had the bearing of a “Dragon Child.”

However.

Xu Qing’s appearance had shattered all of it. Just by striking a Wooden Fish, he had suppressed the Reincarnation Heart Demon, causing the entire situation to collapse.

Therefore.

The Master of the Ruined Pavilion was faintly considering abandoning Li Shang.

From start to finish.

The Master of the Ruined Pavilion’s thinking was actually quite simple. He had divined that the master of the Reincarnation Ruins had the qualifications to become a “Dragon Child,” blessed with great destiny.

That was why.

The Master of the Ruined Pavilion had considered siding with Li Shang. By using his own abilities and the help of the Hidden Daoist Sect behind him, he could assist Li Shang in achieving great things.

In doing so.

The Master of the Ruined Pavilion could cultivate amidst the process, obtain resources, enhance his own cultivation, comprehend various Taoist Sect mysteries, and break through to the “Third Realm.”

’Is he still lacking, in the end?’

The Master of the Ruined Pavilion sighed and muttered softly to himself.

“Hahaha…”

A crazed laugh echoed in all directions.

At this moment.

The Blood-haired Ancestor had inherited Li Shang’s power. His blood-red hair danced wildly. Because he had been infused with too much energy at once, he couldn’t absorb or control it all, causing him to swell into a three-meter-tall giant. Black-blooded Demonic Qi swirled around his body, making him look like a flesh-and-blood behemoth.

But the Blood-haired Ancestor’s strength had indeed increased significantly.

“KILL!!!”

The Blood-haired Ancestor roared, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. He charged forward without hesitation, unleashing his extremely powerful might against the Abbot of Little Leiyin Temple, the Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect, and the Sect Leader of the Ninefold Immortal Sect.

“Heaven and Earth hold a righteous qi, which manifests in myriad forms…”

Just then.

The old master of Jixia Academy, with his snow-white hair and beard yet a youthful complexion, began to chant softly. An endless stream of Vast Righteous Qi transformed into the sun, moon, and stars.

Subsequently.

This boundless Mighty Power of the Confucian Path bore down on Li Shang.

HUM! HUM!

The next moment.

The ’Six Paths of Reincarnation’ trembled, emitting infinite light. The Six Paths Mysteries circulated as the blood-colored giant egg also released an endless bloody glow, blocking the boundless Vast Righteous Qi.

Of course.

The Sect Leader of the Dragon Elephant Sect, the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Forms Demon Sect, the Palace Master of the Deceitful Palace, and the others were not idle either, as bloody chains shot relentlessly forth.

In every direction.

The entire area had become a battlefield.

Everyone was locked in a fierce battle.

Li Shang, in particular, was fighting against many opponents at once.

’Time to go.’

Through the Vajra Daoist Soldier and the Ice Daoist Soldier, Xu Qing had a clear view of everything happening in the Reincarnation Ruins. ’This is far enough.’

HUM!

Without hesitation.

With a thought, Xu Qing commanded the Vajra Daoist Soldier to stop striking the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish. The sound of the Wooden Fish that had been echoing in everyone’s ears slowly faded away.

Gradually, without the suppression of the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish, the mighty power of the Reincarnation Heart Demon resurfaced. The power that had been suppressed was now rapidly recovering.

Most importantly, the minds of Lan Yu, Zhou Yi, and Wu Dao Ming once again fell under the influence of the Reincarnation Heart Demon. The sanity they had just regained was gradually disappearing.

Clearly.

The demonic roots had been planted deep within them long ago. The Heart Demon had always existed in the depths of their hearts, never having truly vanished. It had merely been temporarily suppressed by the Level 20 Clear Heart Wooden Fish.

Now, seeing the situation on the battlefield developing exactly as he had planned, Xu Qing decided not to get involved any further. Instead, he looked for an opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield.

Once Xu Qing left, there would naturally be no one left who could continue to suppress the Reincarnation Heart Demon. And the Reincarnation Heart Demon would naturally have the ability to make a comeback.

“KILL!!”

“KILL!!!”

BOOM! BOOM!

Lan Yu, Zhou Yi, and Wu Dao Ming raised their heads again. Their eyes once more turned a blood-black color as boundless Demonic Qi surged and terrifying power erupted from them once more.
