Mad Doctor No. 9

The meeting room was deathly silent.

To unleash the power of the Netherworld and the will of an evil god? This is far more terrifying than tearing apart space and triggering natural disasters, as he had anticipated! That would mean that the rules of the entire world could be distorted, and countless lives could be transformed into a ghost realm!

"Are these people crazy?!" Dr. Shen Moyun exclaimed.

"For those madmen who pursue eternity, destroying the world is the true path to heaven." Master Yunhe sighed. "According to the calculations of the array diagram, the great array will be fully activated in forty-nine days at most! Once the Gates of the Nine Netherworlds are opened, they can never be closed again!"

Wang Tian asked in a deep voice, "Where is the core of the formation?"

Master Yunhe moved his finger and finally pointed to one spot.

Everyone stared intently, and their expressions changed drastically.

That is... the Qinling Mountains deep in the Taibai Mountains!

Long Zhenyue's face was grim as he said, "Mount Taibai is an important node in the dragon vein of China, an ancient battlefield, and contains many sealed places... If the Nine Netherworlds were to open here, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it might even destroy the dragon vein and shake the fate of the nation!"

"We must stop them! Destroy their core formation before they can set it up!" General Zhao Tieshan said resolutely.

"However, Mount Taibai is a vast and complex region, heavily fortified with ancient restrictions, and fraught with unpredictable dangers. The core of the Eternal Life Society must be deeply hidden and heavily guarded," Shen Moyun said with concern.

Master Yunhe glanced at Wang Tian: "Young friend, you have the Star Lord's Token in hand. Its star power is extremely strong and yang, making it the best counter to the evil spirits of the Nine Netherworlds. Perhaps you are the key to breaking this deadlock."

"I can set up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Demon-Suppressing Array to suppress the evil energy of the Nine Netherworlds, but to penetrate deep into the array's core and destroy it, I will need your help."

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Tian slowly stood up. His voice was calm, but it was filled with an undeniable determination.

"I'll go." He uttered two words.

Mount Taibai, located in the middle of the Qinling Mountains, has its main peak, Baixiantai, at an altitude of over 3,700 meters. It is covered in snow and shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. It is an ancient Taoist holy site with many legends.

But at this moment, deep within Mount Taibai, there was an atmosphere of desolation and death. There were no birds, no wild beasts, and even the mountain wind carried a chilling scent.

Wang Tian stood atop a secluded cliff, looking down at the mist-shrouded valley below. Based on Yunhe Zhenren's calculations and the intelligence from Qianlong's side, the core of the Nine Netherworld Summoning Array was likely hidden in a dangerous place like "Ghost's Sorrow".

Accompanying him were his old partners Qin Feng, Ye Xiao, and Qing Shu, as well as Master Yunhe and his two disciples, and four elite disciples led by Jiang Lan of the Zhenwu Sect. The Qianlong Headquarters also dispatched a special forces unit from a nearby military region, ready to be deployed at any time.

This was a top-secret decapitation operation that brought together the elite forces of the nation, reclusive sects, and ancient martial arts families.

Master Yunhe picked up a wisp of smoke and frowned, saying, "This contains a faint aura of bewitching and yin energy. Inhaling it for a long time will affect a person's mind."

Everyone took the antidote pills. Wang Tian circulated the power of the stars, and the power of the Purifying Star Flame flowed within his body, making him impervious to all evil.

"The magnetic field inside the canyon is completely chaotic, all electronic devices are malfunctioning, and communication is impossible." Qing Shu looked at the special compass and several instruments in his hand. "We can only proceed using the most primitive methods."

Qin Feng said in a deep voice: "According to the plan, we will be divided into three groups. Group A consists of Advisor Wang, Master Yunhe, and Young Master Jiang. The three of you will directly attack the array's core."

Group B, consisting of myself, Night Owl, and Qing Shu, is responsible for clearing out any possible sentries and traps along the way. Group C, composed of four members from the Zhenwu Sect, is responsible for covering the rear and providing emergency support.

Remember, destroying the formation's core is the top priority. Once the core is breached, retreat immediately; do not linger in battle!

Everyone nodded in agreement, their gazes sharp.

The operation began.

Team B entered the mist first, with Night Owl silently slipping in, followed by Qin Feng and Qing Shu. Not long after, several muffled sounds echoed from the depths of the mist, accompanied by a fluctuation of energy, before everything returned to calm. Night Owl indicated it was safe.

Next up are Group A and Group C.

The canyon was dimly lit, with jagged rocks, ancient trees with gnarled roots, and entwined vines, creating an extremely complex terrain. A faint, putrid smell lingered in the air.

On the soft ground beneath your feet, you can occasionally see some white bones, some human and some wild animal bones.

As they ventured deeper, the yin energy grew heavier, and the temperature dropped lower and lower. In the mist, some distorted and blurry figures could be vaguely seen, uttering whispers that sounded like weeping and sobbing, attempting to disturb one's mind.

However, everyone present was a person of strong will, and with the support of elixirs and cultivation techniques, they were not greatly affected.

"There's a barrier ahead." Suddenly, Master Yunhe stopped, waved his whisk, and the mist dissipated somewhat, revealing a distorted wall of energy with dark red runes flowing on it.

"This is a high-level warning array," Master Yunhe identified. "It's an ancient and evil technique; forcibly breaking it will trigger a strong alarm. Special methods are needed to open a temporary passage."

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to step back, and led his two disciples forward. The three of them stepped forward, formed hand seals, and uttered incantations. Three beams of clear light flew from their hands and landed on various nodes of the energy shield.

The dark red runes on the surface of the light membrane flickered slightly, and a crack slowly opened, just big enough for one person to pass through.

"Hurry! We only have thirty breaths!"

Everyone went inside. As soon as they entered, they heard a series of hurried footsteps.

"Enemy attack! Right there in Sector C!"

"The alarm's on!" Qin Feng's face darkened. "Squad A, be on alert!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

Explosions, shouts of battle, and the sounds of energy colliding echoed throughout the canyon. As planned, Teams B and C revealed themselves and engaged in fierce combat with the suddenly appearing Eternal Life Society guards, drawing a large amount of firepower.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Tian, ​​Yunhe Zhenren, and Jiang Lan all unleashed their movement techniques and flew towards the depths of the valley.

Several guards tried to stop them along the way, but the three of them dealt with them cleanly and efficiently. Wang Tian's stellar power had a great restraining effect on these evil and heretical guards, often severely injuring or even killing them with a single blow.

Before long, the canyon came to an end. It was a huge circular plaza, cast from some kind of black metal, with an extremely complex blood-red array pattern, hundreds of meters in diameter, painted on it!

Wang Tian's gaze sharpened, his star power surged, and his starlight protection automatically activated. At the same time, he clenched his fists, his left fist meeting the Bone Venerable's attack, and his right fist meeting the scimitar slashing from the left.

A moment later, Wang Tian finally destroyed the blood-red array, once again safeguarding world peace!
