Cataclysm King

Chapter 579: The God Thief Bai Family's Repeated Jumps
From the very beginning when they chose Hell's Gate Canyon as the location for the decisive battle, the coalition forces knew that their chances of winning were slim.

After all, the gap in numbers between the two sides is too big.

Even if they win in a head-on fight, it will be a tragic loss for both sides.

Such a result would only benefit a few immortal foreign gods and those guys from the southern continent who are likely to be spying in secret. It would be meaningless to the coalition forces.

So from the very beginning, the coalition leaders made preparations for both scenarios.

While fighting with all your might, see if you can find an opportunity to end the battle early.

The two best ways that Ji Xun could think of to win were either to "assassinate the King" or to get rid of the three foreign gods.

It is extremely difficult to assassinate King Arthur of Oran, and almost no one on the coalition side can do it.

In comparison, the second option is more feasible.

It just so happens that Ji Xun's ability has a certain restraint on external gods.

He is also the only one who can carry out this plan quietly.

Nan Jing has summoned the body of the Weeping Angel, preventing the coalition headquarters from being wiped out by the mechanical angels.

Ji Xun quietly sneaked into the enemy's base camp.

The million-strong army of the Oran Royal Court stretched for dozens of kilometers, and hundreds of large and small mechanical cities attacked the Kiran defense line on the battlefield.

The two sides have been fighting for so long that dozens of mechanical cities are lying on the battlefield, and the remaining ones have already arrived several miles away from the defense line.

The two armies engaged in fierce street fighting in various positions in the canyon.

The mechanical city and the remaining artillery positions on the canyon walls were also bombarding each other.

Looking down from the sky, you can see the flames of the fierce fighting turning into a long fire snake in front of the Kiran Mountains.

This distance is almost face to face. There is no difference in the range and accuracy of the artillery. It is just a brutal fight with artillery hitting each other.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"

The artillery fired at each other at close range, and the ammunition from the coalition's giant artillery shells could easily make a big hole in the defensive steel plate of the mechanical city.

The artillery of Great Orlan could easily smash the artillery positions of the Allied forces on the rock wall into pieces.

The sound of gunfire was more frequent than ever before.

Both sides were fighting to the bitter end.

The Oran Legion was in high spirits, but the coalition forces held their ground and refused to retreat.

And the other side.

Ji Xun has sneaked in quietly.

The Mechanical City had crushed several-meter-deep trenches into the earth. There were corpses everywhere, and blood had dyed the soil a blinding red.

The moonlight in the sky was bright, like the eyes of the moon goddess Arachne, watching every corner of the battlefield touched by the moonlight.

Because of this, no one noticed that in a shadow under the mechanical city where the moonlight could not reach, a figure quietly emerged from the darkness.

It was Ji Xun who came stealthily.

He looked up at the huge mechanical city next to him that was a hundred meters high. The number on it was "071", and he breathed a sigh of relief.

If it is not discovered in advance, the first step has been completed.

This is one of the four pillars of the Moon Goddess that we had observed long ago.

Even though the three Outer Gods were fighting so fiercely on the battlefield, that kind of large-scale divine arts also required the consumption of extraordinary power.

The three Outer Gods have not yet condensed their own divine bodies, so their divine power can only be carried by the altar.

If Ji Xun guessed correctly, the psychic power stored by sacrificing so many cannon fodders was in this four-pillar mechanical city.

After determining the target, Ji Xun did not delay and took out two Curse God Cards, one gray and one colorful, with clown patterns printed on them.

He knew he could think of this way to steal the house.

The enemy will surely be able to think of it.

Ji Xun never expected that the enemy would not have heavy guards, but he just felt that the enemy might not be able to discover him so easily.

Moreover, now that all the masters of the Oran Royal Court have come out, Ji Xun doesn’t think that he has really been discovered and that anyone can stop him.

After observing the surroundings and not finding anything unusual, Ji Xun chanted a spell: "Poker Game - Magician's Sleight of Hand - My figure cannot be seen by others."

As soon as he finished speaking, the magic pattern on the [Color JOKER] Curse God Card lit up.

The spell was instantly completed, and Ji Xun became even more ethereal, as if he had blended into the environment, becoming a background board that was ignored by everyone.

Forcibly changing the rules, this is the ability of this spell card.

Ji Xun is now at level eight, and with the blessing of this Curse God Card, he thinks that at least level nine perception is needed to discover him.

Few people in the Oran Royal Court can do this.

But this is not over yet!
Another [Gray JOKER] in Ji Xun's hand also lit up at the same time, copying this rule.

At the same time, the [Color JOKER] aura lit up again, and the second rule halo had been added to the god's body: "Poker Game·Eye of Horus. I can see all the truths in the world."

This rule is to prevent oneself from being caught in the omnipresent illusion of the Moon Goddess.

Ji Xun used the characteristics of the two Curse God Cards and possessed two rule-level auras at the same time.

Although the combat power is not increased much, the possibility of being discovered is extremely low.

It was the perfect disguise he could think of.

After doing all this, Ji Xun quietly walked towards the "No. 071" Mechanical City not far away.

He flew up and his feet stepped on a steel staircase more than ten meters above the ground.

This mechanical city is not an offensive city, so there are not many artillery deployed.

On the huge riveted city walls, there were Moon Guard sentries wearing white robes standing everywhere.

These were the most loyal followers of the Moon Goddess Arachne, and killing them would definitely attract the Moon Goddess's attention. Even their perceptions were already connected to the God, and one move would affect the entire body.

However, Ji Xun had no intention of doing anything sneaky, and he just walked up the stairs in a swagger.

A bizarre scene ensued.

Clearly such a living person had appeared in the field of vision of the Moon God Guards, but those people seemed to be completely blind to him and let him walk into the core area of ​​the Mechanical City as if no one was there.

Ji Xun was not surprised at all.

This rule halo has been tested before. Even Griffith, who is at the ninth level, cannot capture it without careful observation.

Not to mention these fourth and fifth level Moon Guards.

Ji Xun knew that there must be many early warning devices in this mechanical city, so he did not choose to take the small path through the windows, nor did he use spatial displacement.

Because he had observed the line before.

The Moon God Guard patrol teams are divided into areas, and the patrol route with no blind spots leads right to the core of the Mechanical City.

Ji Xun changed the team to follow several times and arrived at the interior of the Mechanical City smoothly.

As he walked along, he gradually saw that there were indeed many hidden trigger warning devices inside the mechanical city.

But no matter how skilled an assassin is, if he sneaks in, he will almost certainly be discovered.

Instead, the only path that would not trigger the alarm was the one he chose, following the patrolling soldiers.

Going deeper into the Mechanical City, Ji Xun saw an iron door with password access.

He was not in a hurry and just waited aside.

Not long after, I saw several people dressed like Moon God priests opening the mechanical door with authority authentication.

Almost the moment the door opened, Ji Xun sensed a familiar breath!

That is the aura of a large amount of [Mysterious Psychic] triggering the surge of divine power!

"It's really here!"

Ji Xun found the right place and followed the priest in for the next few months.

Once you enter, it's as if you've instantly returned from the Mechanical Age to the Stone Age. The walls around you are not made of steel, but stones with a large number of mysterious runes carved on them.

Others might be confused when seeing these runes, but Ji Xun found them so familiar!

These divine patterns are engraved in the secret room in the labyrinth of the Augustus Imperial Mausoleum that is related to Montini, the last Moon Queen of Taren.

This is a corner of the "Four-column Arched Moon Altar" pointing to the moon goddess Arachne.

Ji Xun went deeper and deeper, and as the medium's breath became stronger and stronger, he soon saw the core of the altar.

As soon as I entered, an indescribable sense of horror hit me in the face.

Ji Xun had been prepared and was not intimidated by the Moon God's power.

But his eyes were so shocked by the scene before him that they froze for a moment.

Because in front of him was a mysterious cylindrical altar that radiated silver light and looked like a nuclear reactor.

Even though Ji Xun was used to seeing the world, he was still amazed when he saw the huge pillar of light in front of him that he couldn't see the top and the bottom, "It's really exaggerated."

The first time he met the [Mysterious Medium] was at a small sacrificial site in a slum in Innocence City.

The medium we got at that time was only the size of a brick.

And in front of me,
That’s enough “bricks” to build a 100-meter-high building!
The interior of the entire mechanical city is a huge column of divine energy!
As long as this altar is destroyed, not only will the "four pillars" structure be destroyed, but at least the Moon God's strength will be greatly damaged.

This is why Ji Xun came.

Moreover, he was not only destroying the enemy's plans, but in his eyes, these psychics who were already being converted into divine power through the altar also had extraordinary qualities that could be absorbed.

After advancing to the eighth level, the requirements for extraordinary characteristics of "Feast" became more and more demanding. And these mediums in front of them, most of whom have been transformed into divine power, not only have extraordinary characteristics, but also divinity.

This is a rare treasure.

He also didn't know whether this "big pillar" would allow him to reach the threshold of the ninth level after absorbing it.

But considering that it can provide a supernatural source for the three outer gods, it is definitely not bad.

Ji Xun only looked at him for a moment, then his eyes narrowed.

But he did not devour it immediately, but quietly left a space mark.

There are still more than ten months for the priests to maintain the operation of the altar, and any abnormality will be discovered by the moon goddess Arachne.

What Ji Xun is doing now is “scouting the area”.

Once all four pillars are confirmed, he will teleport over directly. Before anyone can react, Ivan will swallow the entire psychic's energy pillar!
In this way, the Moon Goddess Altar can be dealt the greatest possible damage!
After doing all this, Ji Xun left quietly.

After leaving the mechanical city No. 071, he went to No. 086 using the same method and confirmed the location of the second four pillars.

The marking process was also very smooth.

As planned, Ji Xun was protected by two Curse God Cards and no one discovered his trace.

The Oran Royal Court had very limited knowledge of Ji Xun's current strength, and didn't even know that he had two [JOKER] cards.

This lack of intelligence also meant that the enemy had no idea that the heavily guarded altar could be quietly infiltrated.

What's more, the coalition forces have put enough pressure on them, and the top masters of the Oran Royal Court have no time to be transferred to guard the altar.

In this way, Ji Xun found "Number 097", the third pillar of the four pillars.

However, this time, an accident happened.

The internal structure of the mechanical city "No. 097" is almost exactly the same as the previous two.

Ji Xun followed the Moon Priest in like he did twice before. There was also a huge energy column inside the mechanical city.

Ji Xun walked to the top and marked it, thinking that he could teleport over when the time came so that Ivan could swallow it in one gulp.

However, as soon as the mark was made this time, he suddenly became alert and frowned.

Turning around, he saw a beautiful girl with a pair of charming silver eyes who looked like a woman appearing behind him. She said to herself, "That's weird. How could I not see it? Ah, you are really good at this."

It was none other than an old acquaintance, the Bai family's number one genius, the current high priest of Oran, and the strongest person in the Bai family - "Silver Eyes" Bai Wei.

Ji Xun was not surprised that he was discovered.

The third one has been marked and now that it has been discovered, the plan has been completed ahead of schedule.

Obviously, Bai Wei didn't see him, and he was still talking to himself: "No warning device was triggered. It seems that he came in through the main door? After the Black Knife Organization was disbanded by His Majesty, the intelligence of the royal court is really a mess."

Ji Xun took a look at the ancestral silver-eyed fairy fox behind him, which was already emitting a faint golden glow, and knew that this fairy had discovered him.

He had also seen this immortal.

This is the remaining spirit of the immortal from the Taren period that was summoned back in the [Gathering Immortals Lantern].

Now that it has recovered so well, it seems that the Bai family has stolen a lot of power from the three foreign gods to help the fairy fox recover.

I am not the only smart person. The one from the Bai family is also a person whose intelligence is almost like a demon.

Ji Xun did not underestimate the enemy.

But he found that even though Bai Wei had noticed him, he had no intention of taking action.

Just when Ji Xun was about to strike first, this guy was still talking to himself: "Ah, do you want to do it? Don't! Don't! Don't. I don't mean to do it."

When Ji Xun heard this, he suddenly became interested.

Bai Wei seemed to be very self-aware, and added: "I originally wanted to try your method, but since I can't even find it, forget it. I'm sure I can't beat you."

It was this self-deprecating tone that made Ji Xun see the wisdom of this guy.

He was also very curious. Since this guy had discovered him and had not summoned the moon goddess Arachne, what was he going to do?
Now that he was discovered, Ji Xun also revealed his identity.

Bai Wei in front of him looked at the living person who appeared out of thin air, smiled bitterly, and muttered: "It's you."

When masters confront each other, sometimes they know what the other person is thinking without saying anything.

Before Ji Xun could start to attack, Bai Wei looked like he really didn't want to fight, so he said very quickly: "Destroying the altar is the only way to severely injure the Moon Goddess and end the battle early. I just guessed you would come. I didn't expect you to be so weird."

"."

Ji Xun felt that this guy was praising him again, and suddenly he felt embarrassed to hit him.

But since he is an enemy, the murderous intent is still locked on the guy in front of him.

With his current strength, he can't kill the guy with one strike. Even if he has immortals protecting him, he will most likely be seriously injured.

Bai Wei obviously knew it. This guy seemed to feel the murderous intent locking onto him. The self-deprecating look on his face became even more awkward: "Don't do it yet. Aren't you curious why I didn't do it beforehand even though I clearly discovered it?"

This was indeed the reason why Ji Xun did not take action immediately. To be honest, this guy had a chance to take action first before.

At this time, Bai Wei didn't hesitate any longer and gave a reason that would make Ji Xun never take action again. He said, "The guy with the mushroom head came to see me before and we talked for a while. I found the current situation to be quite troublesome. I think you should know what I'm talking about."

"."

When Ji Xun heard the name “Mushroom Head”, he knew that it was the Light Chaser Jia Yu who came to see this guy.

And he said it so vaguely, it seems that Bai Wei also knows something.

So he was even more curious about what this guy was going to do.
Delaying time?

Bai Wei obviously knew Ji Xun's concerns, and did not leave any chance for misunderstanding. He said directly: "You can find this place, which obviously means you know the principle of the 'Four Pillars'. Go to the other three mechanical cities first, and no one can find you in those three places. Then come over and we will fight. It's a show after all. After all, I am the current 'High Priest of Oran', so I have to do something."

Then he added, "Of course. If you don't know which ones they are, I can tell you."

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, his expression looked a little strange.

what's going on,
Was this guy persuaded to surrender by Mushroom Head?

Ji Xun thought about Jia Yu's ability and felt that it was indeed possible.

However, the Bai family is now the high priest of the Oran Royal Court. Can they just revolt?
The situation is very good, what does he think?

Bai Wei also knew that his decision was difficult for anyone to understand, so he shrugged and said, "Don't look at me with such strange eyes. I just see the situation clearly. This is more beneficial to the Bai family."

"."

Ji Xun's expression became even weirder after listening to this.

He thought of two hundred years ago, when the old Oran Royal Court was destroyed by the Federation. At that time, the Bai family also rebelled and then became one of the five major members of the Federation.

Then, when Oran was restored, the Bai family rebelled against the Federation again and became the right-hand man of King Arthur.

Now this... is rebelling again?

This guy is jumping back and forth. He is a slave of three surnames?

What's going on with the Bai family? Could it be that they have some hidden talent that makes them stronger?

Bai Wei is also very smart. Looking at Ji Xun's expression, he felt a little guilty.

After all, what the Bai family did was indeed a little unkind in the eyes of the world.

However, this is not true.

Bai Wei defended himself: "I know you must think that there is something wrong with the Bai family's stance. But we survived, didn't we?"

Then he added: "From the time of the Talen Empire to the present, many big families have disappeared in history, and there are even many families stronger than our Bai family. But now, except for our Bai family, the bloodline of others has basically been cut off."

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, he suddenly felt speechless.

Fallacy is fallacy.

But standing on the right side every time ensures that the Bai family bloodline can continue to this day. It seems to make sense, right?

Obviously there is more to it than that.

Bai Wei spread his hands and said, "And my Bai family coexists with the guardian immortals. In the eyes of the immortals, the life span of humans determines that their choices are often short-sighted. So sometimes our Bai family makes choices that are misunderstood by the world."

"."

After hearing this, Ji Xun actually felt that what he said made more sense.

Considering that immortals can live for hundreds or even thousands of years, the continuation of the clan is indeed more important than the temporary loyalty of humans.

A large part of the decision-making power of the Bai family is in the hands of the immortals, and the head of each generation is just a "junior".

If values ​​are not viewed from a human perspective, there is nothing wrong with this kind of back-and-forth.

"Besides, the one recognized by the immortals as the head of the Bai family this generation is not me, but my aunt. You know, the three great inherited treasures of the Bai family are in my aunt's hands."

Bai Wei's tone was also helpless. He shrugged and said, "Besides, I was forced to be the high priest. But since I am in office, I have to consider the future of the family."

His tone contained a sense of conviction that made him feel inferior, but also a strong sense of self-mockery that made him feel superior.

He bore the blame, but in reality, he was not the one who made all the decisions for the Bai family.

"."

Ji Xun really believed it this time.

To be honest, the strongest person in the Bai family is Qin Rushi, and the strongest person in the Xian family is the white snake that she has contracted with.

Bai Wei's titles as "head of the family" and "high priest" are not legitimate, no wonder he looks so constipated.

At this time, Ji Xun spoke for the first time and asked, "Besides this Moon God Altar, do you have any other suggestions?"

This also shows that he believed this guy's words of surrender.

But at the same time, it also implies that the other party needs to show some sincerity.

Since he is the high priest, he must know more secrets of the Oran Royal Court.

For example, the situation of King Arthur and the weaknesses of the three Outer Gods.

"Hey"

When asked this question, Bai Wei also sighed, as if he had known that he would ask this question.

He didn't mean to hide anything, but some things were hard to say.

It was impossible to keep silent. Bai Wei looked at Ji Xun and said helplessly: "When the mushroom-headed guy came to see me before, he had already asked me this. Some things are too early to say now."

"."

Hearing this, Ji Xun fell silent.

He did not doubt the truth of this statement.

Since Jia Yu is here, Mushroom Head must be able to think of what I can think of.

So, looking at Bai Wei's secretive look, Ji Xun could guess that the two of them must have discussed some top-secret topics.

He did not forget that the mushroom-headed guy was planning a "big event".

If you say some things out loud, there is a risk of being exposed.

After a little thought, Ji Xun did not ask any more questions.

Bai Wei looked at Ji Xun's expression that seemed to understand everything, and he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he didn't need to waste any more words.

But at the same time, he also complained: "Ah, how come all of you guys can all achieve "I am the world" and your realm is so high?"

Bai Wei felt that he was really fed up with the feeling of being seen through.

Came here once last time.

This time it happened again!
Mingming has been growing up with the aura of a genius since he was a child and has felt good all the way.

But why is it that everyone I meet now is better than me?

The wisdom that he was proud of immediately dimmed in front of the master of the magical secret technique "I am the world".

The current battle situation cannot be delayed. Any longer the delay, the more variables there will be.

Ji Xun ignored the guy's complaints and said, "Okay. I'll come find you later."

Having said that, the man disappeared again.

"."

Bai Wei rolled his eyes as he looked at the figure that disappeared out of thin air.

This method, which he could not understand, dealt a severe blow to his self-confidence.

The Silver Fox Immortal behind him seemed to have noticed something and consoled him, "That kid used a very high-grade external object to distort the rules to become invisible. It's probably a divine weapon. It's normal that you can't sense it."

"."

It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but as soon as he did, Bai Wei became withdrawn again.

The three inherited treasures of the Bai family were originally no worse than any relics, but why didn't he have any of them?

ah.
Destroy this jealous world.

Bai Wei's extremely delicate face was filled with resentful complaints.

I was clearly able to beat him before, so why is the gap so big now?
