The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 268 Now it's your turn to choose [Bonus chapter for the Alliance Leader, the universe's renowned first-class retreat drummer]

Mid-May.

After months of interrogating the fox demon, progress has finally been made.

The middle-aged man looked at the other person, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Is it time for you to give me news again?"

"You guys are really clever." At this moment, the fox demon was extremely weak.

The Zhenyue Division's interrogation was not gentle; they even used many illusions.

If it weren't for the evil god's power within her, she would have revealed everything long ago.

But it's almost reached its limit now.

She should have spoken by now, without needing to be questioned.

The middle-aged man calmly asked, "What message should you release this time?"

"I'll tell you what's inside," the fox demon said, looking at the middle-aged man. "Have you ever heard of the Immeasurable Calamity?"

"That's what's sealed there."

"Even if this thing is still in place, the area it affects is not small."

"Once the seal is broken, anyone who passes by it will be detected and sensed."

"If it's suitable enough, you'll be entangled with it even without touching it."

"So you should start a large-scale search, right?"
"In other words, its pool of candidates far exceeds your expectations."

Even if you find Shangguan Yang and Zhou Qing, it won't make much difference.

"As long as no one actively refines it."

"You will have no way of knowing who it chose."

"What are its selection criteria?" the middle-aged man asked.

The fox demon shook her head: "I don't know. Nobody told me this. Maybe it's because I have the best talent, or maybe it's because I have the most experience."

"You'll have to figure that out yourselves."

"However, I know that if the fusion reaches a certain level, thunder will appear in the sky."

"You can keep an eye on the weather inside the Immortal Sect Competition to see if any such changes occur."

The middle-aged man looked at the other person and asked calmly, "Is there anything else? For example, what do the people behind you want to stop all of this?"

Upon hearing this, the fox demon revealed a charming smile: "You're mistaken. No one can control this kind of thing, or rather, they can only control the beginning, not the process or the outcome."

"Because this thing was supposed to break the seal anyway, we just helped bring it forward."

"Actually, the immortal sects should thank us. At least we brought this thing out in advance, giving you time to prepare."

"Under normal circumstances, this thing will appear silently."

"At that time, the immortal sects will be caught off guard, the situation will be more critical, and they may even have to pay a higher price."

"This shows that we were the ones who helped you."

"As long as you are ruthless enough, at most a group of people participating in the Immortal Sect Competition will die."

"If you are unwilling to sacrifice them."

"It's still not too late to open up that space and stop them."

"At most, it will just release some evil gods and their power."

"With the immortal sects in good order, they will not cause any trouble for the time being."

The middle-aged man remained expressionless and asked, "Any further news?"

The fox demon shook her head.

"Have you considered what would happen if the plan failed? What if we gained control of the equipment?" the middle-aged man asked.

The fox demon looked at the other person, seemingly never having considered this question before.

"Then what do you think the immortal sects should choose?" the middle-aged man asked again.

"That's your problem. How could a nobody like me understand what you're thinking?" the fox demon said indifferently.

The middle-aged man stared at the other person for a long time before turning and leaving.

As soon as he left the cell, two people immediately followed him.

"How's the investigation into the Immortal Sect Competition going?" he asked.

The man on the left said, "It's done, but I haven't sensed anything."

"Keep an eye on the weather inside, see if there's any thunderstorm." The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then said, "Also, prepare a cross-regional formation and get on it immediately."

Some time later.

The formation lights up.

A middle-aged man sat in the highest position.

"Qi Li, it's been a long time." The voice of Master Taihua rang out.

"Excuse me for disturbing you," Qi Li said softly. "The situation is a bit complicated."

He then informed the other party of the situation.

Master Taihua listened quietly.

"We can't confirm the veracity of the news yet, but it sounds very convincing and doesn't seem fake." Qi Li's voice was calm and clear. "The problem now is whether to open the door and go in. If the other party is deliberately playing a trick on us, then the efforts of the Immortal Sect over the years will be wasted because of this decision, and the consequences will be quite serious."

Master Taihua, who had remained silent until now, said in a calm voice, "Tell them to prepare to open the door. If they encounter lightning, then open the door."

"But don't rush to open the door we enter through. First, point the door through which those evil gods escaped towards that place."

"Observe their reaction, make a record, and then our people will go in."

"Yes." Qi Li paused for a moment before hesitatingly asking, "What if we don't have that thing?"

"Then let those who participate in the Immortal Sect suffer a bit, endure the storm of evil god's power. They won't die. As for the consequences, you don't need to worry about them; I'll take responsibility," said Master Taihua casually.

If that thing didn't exist, it would at most be a false alarm; but if it did, it wouldn't be a false alarm at all. Quite a few people would likely die.

Master Taihua sighed, "It's only been a few hundred years, and everyone's minds have become so cunning. We were too lenient before. After this matter is resolved, let's investigate."

"Get your people to do more work; they're all too idle."

"Yes." Qi Li bowed respectfully.

Jiang Man sat atop the formation.

Now he dares not go too far.

They can only sit here and continue learning about formations, and are even unable to cultivate.

Once something else is done, the integration will accelerate.

In addition, the formation needs to be charged, otherwise its effectiveness will decrease.

They are trapped.

Now he needs to persevere for more than two months, and he can look forward to hearing the wind's whisper in July.

But he was unsure about the external situation.

The Immortal Sect has sent people everywhere to search for people and things, but there has been no further news from the Sun and Moon Immortal Path.

These are all potential risks.

Because they are easily implicated by uninformed people from the immortal sects.

The fate of the immortal journey depends on Zhou Qing, an unstable factor.

If someone notices that the time has passed and they haven't completed the fusion, they will come looking for you.

It is also extremely dangerous.

Before, we could escape, but now it's completely impossible.

As time went by, he had read almost all the books on formations.

The formation was also reinforced, but the fusion time was not delayed for long.

The integration should be completed in August.

In June, Jiang Man finished reading all the books.

I feel I've made a big step forward in my understanding of formations, but I'm hampered by a lack of materials and can't revise them again.

End of June.

Jiang Man felt some changes in his body.

It seemed that something was trying to affect his mind.

He immediately activated the evil god's magic in an attempt to fight back.

This is because it borrowed the power of the evil god and had some effect.

Boom! !
Thunder roared in the sky, and Jiang Man felt that the thunder resonated with the effects within his body.

The ten lifetimes and countless eons have begun to resonate with the outside world.

There's a lot of integration involved.

Fortunately, it's almost July.

As long as it's July, there's still time.

In addition, after the monk Zhenkong went out to investigate several times, the fervor for finding Shangguan Yang and his group gradually subsided.

Most people started competing for rankings.

It seems the storm has passed.

After all, no matter how wonderful a divine object is, no one has ever seen it.

Moreover, there is only one divine object, so instead of fighting for the divine object, it's better to fight for ranking.

Jiang Man also breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that the commotion hadn't been too big.

That way, nothing unexpected will happen to him.

Just as he was thinking this, thunder roared in the sky, and something seemed to crack open.

Jiang Man couldn't see it, but he always felt that the situation was not optimistic.

It seems the immortal sects have made their move.

-

Mist Cloud Sect.

Master Taihua sat in his high position, his expression calm:

"Now it's your turn to choose."

"To go in, or not to go in?"
