Chapter 732: The seal is broken? Everyone plays me

"The seal has been loosened, and there's no way the island wouldn't notice it."

Xie Huan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as calm as the abyss, thinking about something.

He pondered for a moment, then lightly tapped the air with his fingertips. A flash of silver light turned into a rune and flew into the depths of the courtyard.

Soon, Shang Jin and Song Bai hurried over.

Xie Huan told the two about his meeting with Qing Jian and what Heili Song Bai had noticed.

Shang Jin's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he whispered, "Sir, Qingjian's move may be a trap."

"Go on." Xie Huan's eyes were calm.

Shang Jin said slowly: "If the seal is really loose, the island will be on high alert. If we exchange the Akaski Stone at this time, the consequences will be disastrous. Qing Jian cannot be unaware of this, so -"

Xie Huan chuckled and said, "Of course he is not really helping me, but he wants to use me to lure Zhang Wuhen to show up."

Shang Jin and Song Bai looked at each other, and both saw horror in each other's eyes.

"Qing Jian has broken through to the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation, which has threatened the status of the Zhang family. If he wants to seize power, he must first get rid of Zhang Wuhen."

Xie Huan said slowly: "As the island master, Zhang Wuhen will definitely take action to suppress it once the seal is broken."

Song Bai took a deep breath and said, "My Lord, are you saying that Qing Jian wants to use you to lure Zhang Wuhen out, and then join forces to suppress him?"

Xie Huan nodded: "That's right. He asked me to get the Akas fragment, but in fact he wanted me to be the bait to lure Zhang Wuhen to make a move. Then he would seize the opportunity and suppress Zhang Wuhen."

Shang Jin gritted his teeth and said, "What a good trick! Sir, how should we deal with it?"

Xie Huan's eyes were deep, and he said calmly: "Since he has set up a trap, I will play along with him. Three days later, the two of you will go and get the Akas fragments."

"What?!" Shang Jin and Song Bai were shocked.

"Sir, if we go, won't we be seeking death?" Song Bai said anxiously.

"Don't worry, you just need to pretend and don't really take it. I will follow secretly and act according to the situation." Xie Huan smiled slightly.

"Sir, I dare to suggest that Qingming should go. He is Qingjian's nephew and a key figure in the Qing family. If he goes, Qingjian will be afraid to act rashly."

Shang Jin lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice, thinking that since he had already offended Qing Ming, he might as well go all out and simply push him into the game, thus making the best use of him.

Xie Huan heard this and shook his head, "His seal has been broken. I can't control him."

When he met Qingming before, he noticed that all the restrictions in the other party's body had been removed. It was obvious that Qingming had made a move in secret.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Qing Jian was willing to cooperate with him - after all, he could get a glimpse of the truth from the sealing methods. Otherwise, with his cultivation level of the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation, how could he catch the eye of that old monster?

After hearing this, Shang Jin felt even more bitter.

He and Song Bai looked at each other. Although they were both very nervous, they did not dare to disobey and could only clasp their fists in agreement.

……

Three days later, it was midnight.

Xiwang Island is a sealed forbidden area.

The night was as dark as ink. Shang Jin and Song Bai lay on the southwest cliff, looking at the twelve black iron dragon-suppressing pillars that reached into the sky in the distance.

The lightning-struck iron chains wrapped around the pillars sparkled with purple lightning, weaving a web of death in the darkness.

Since the seal was broken last time and was repaired by Shi Mang and the director of the Thirteenth Department, Xiwang Island added three more layers of restrictions on the basis of the repair.

The outermost layer is the nine Xuantian Zhenjie Pillars, standing in the positions of the nine stars of the Big Dipper. The pillars are wrapped with lightning-struck iron chains as thick as bowls, and the chain links are engraved with "Wuji Zhenfeng Lu". At noon every day, the iron chains will move automatically without wind, splashing out blue-purple electric light, and forming a lightning net within a radius of a hundred feet.

"Change guard at 3:30 pm."

Song Bai condensed a wisp of frosty spiritual energy on his fingertips and sketched it in the air: "But the gaps in the lightning net will be reduced by 30%."

"Do you really want to sneak in according to the plan?"

Shang Jin frowned, hesitant. "What else?"

Song Bai sneered, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Xie Huan's plan is obviously to let us serve as bait for him. Once it is exposed, you and I will probably be dead without a burial place."

Shang Jin's face turned pale and he said through gritted teeth.

"You think I don't know?"

Song Bai said grimly: "But the restrictions in your body and mine have not been removed. If we go against his will, we will neither be able to live nor die. If we follow his plan, there is still a glimmer of hope."

After a pause, he continued, "The last time you were controlled by him, you still survived until today, didn't you?"

Shang Jin was silent after hearing this. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it! Let's try again!"

Song Bai sneered: "No choice."

The two of them waited for the right moment, each took out a bead the size of a longan and held it in their palms, restraining their aura so that not a single drop of it could leak out.

Then his body flashed, and he was like two ghostly shadows walking close to the ground. In a moment, he passed through the lightning net, causing only a few flashes of lightning. He was not noticed at all, and quietly sneaked into the nine Xuantian Pillars of Calamity.

Looking up, I saw a pitch-black altar floating in the air. It was as black as ink and covered with dark red blood words.

It was the second restriction set by Xiwang Island - the ancient treasure: the Nine Nether Demon Sealing Platform. Each blood pattern on it contained a hidden demon-sealing restriction.

Just as the two were about to step forward, they suddenly heard a loud shout from the altar: "Who is it? How dare you trespass into the sealed forbidden area!"

The sound was like thunder, shaking the entire forbidden area.

"boom!--"

A deafening roar was heard, and the entire Xiwang Island was shaking.

Shang Jin only felt a buzzing in his ears, and before he could come to his senses, he saw countless golden threads flying around under the altar like living things.

"The seal... is broken?"

Song Bai cried out in shock, his face full of disbelief.

Before he finished speaking, a horrifying aura of darkness gushed out from the bottom of the altar. Suddenly, all kinds of angry voices rang out from the altar:

"Oh no, seal the gap quickly!"

"what!--"

"Chains! Hold the chains steady!"

"No, this is completely out of control!"

There was chaos on the altar, with footsteps, the clashing of instruments, and curses all mixed together:
"Activate the backup formation!", "It's too late!", "Go and ask the island owner!——"

Almost at the same time, dozens of powerful auras emerged from all directions and gathered like a tide.

In the east, green light was as fast as lightning, in the west, blood-red light shot up into the sky, and in the south, three powerful forces from the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm came together.

Shang Jin and Song Bai looked at each other in shock, their faces pale.

At this moment they finally understood, and suddenly realized that things were far more complicated than they had expected, and that the two of them were just pawns involved in a shocking chess game.

But in the chaos, there was a vague figure standing in the air, with cold blue light in his eyes, just like two lonely stars in the night sky.

It was Xie Huan, standing with his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering up and down in the rippling spiritual energy.

"It's not as easy as I thought. I even took the opportunity to break the seal..."

Xie Huan whispered to himself, his voice as ethereal as smoke.

Silver light shone in his eyes, reflecting the surging aura of the black abyss, and a complex and solemn look flashed across his eyes: "Qing Jian, Qing Jian, what exactly are you planning?"
