Feng Ying's eyes sharpened, and without further hesitation, strange energy began to surge around him:
Which direction is the Tiantan volcano in?
"It's right there! The place where the energy is most concentrated!"
Without hesitation, the squad leader pointed in a direction where the outline of a mountain peak could be vaguely seen, with a hazy aura of energy emanating from its summit.
Without another word, Feng Ying transformed into a swift black shadow, tearing through the tranquil air as he sped towards the Tiantan Volcano.
There was only one thought in my mind: I must stop this massacre of innocent people!
However, she did not know that shortly after she left, Guigu's hidden figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the plants on the other side, a sinister smile on his face that showed he had everything under control and his scheme had succeeded.
Those "underworld warriors" were naturally his carefully selected and arranged confidants in disguise, and their memories and cognition had long been completely altered by him using special means.
Deep in their minds, they believed themselves to be true warriors of the underworld, sent by Hades to carry out a mission. Therefore, their emotions, words, and loyalty to Hades were flawless, and even the perceptive Wind Shadow could not detect the slightest clue.
In order to gain Fengying's trust, he even went so far as to reveal some of the true and most crucial details of the plan.
"Hehehe... Hades' good disciple is indeed too young, he took the bait so easily." Guigu muttered smugly, his voice like a viper's hiss. "This blame, Hades, you and your good disciple are destined to bear it!"
He moved again, like a ghost blending into the environment, silently sneaking towards the Tiantan volcano, preparing to personally direct and participate in a "good show" of framing someone.
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
Guigu thought he had a brilliant plan and that he had both Fengying and Hades in his grasp, but he did not realize that behind a crystal rock further away, two heads were peeking out one above the other, taking in everything that had just happened.
"Damn! This old guy really is a complete and utter sly bastard!"
Huo Linfei gritted his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, wishing he could rush out and deliver a powerful Fiery Cloud Technique to him.
"How insidious! Utterly shameless!" Miao Tiaojun was also filled with righteous indignation, his chubby cheeks puffed up with anger. "He not only wants to kill people to seize energy, but he also wants to kill two birds with one stone, framing Hades and Wind Shadow! How despicable! We must stop him!"
The two of them secretly followed him all the way and witnessed the entire process of Guigu deceiving Fengying.
"So what do we do now? Should we just rush out and expose this hypocrite's true colors?"
Huo Linfei rubbed his hands together, eager to try.
"Don't rush, Fei! Impulsiveness is the devil!"
Miao Tiaojun was relatively calmer and restrained his impulsive partner:
“If we go out now, he will definitely deny it and accuse us instead! We’ll wait until he makes his move at the Tiantan Volcano, and just as he’s about to commit the crime, then we’ll suddenly appear, catch him red-handed, and take him by surprise. Let’s see how he tries to deny it then!”
"That makes sense! Catch them off guard! You're such a clever little chubby guy!"
Huo Linfei's eyes lit up, and he excitedly patted Miao Tiaojun on the shoulder.
"That's called wisdom! Wisdom that transcends time and space! Do you understand? And call me Slim Handsome, not Fatty!"
Miao Tiaojun corrected him earnestly.
The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and cautiously followed behind Guigu, heading towards the Tian Tan Volcano.
The overconfident mantis meticulously sets its trap, believing the cicada is already caught, unaware that two unpredictable orioles are following behind, ready to disrupt things at the crucial moment.
Meanwhile, atop the Tiantan Volcano, the Baboo family's once-in-a-millennium Tianyuan Festival is about to begin.
The crater did not spew lava, but was instead enveloped in a dense, almost tangible, halo of multicolored, otherworldly energy.
Countless Baboo people, radiating a soft glow, gathered from all directions like fireflies summoned by a spell.
They soared and danced, their innocent chirping blending into a harmonious symphony, completely unaware that a deadly crisis had already enveloped this sacred land like dark clouds, and the shadow was quietly approaching.
This storm of conspiracy, framing, rescue, and reversal is about to erupt violently on the last peaceful land in the universe.
The ultimate winner seems to be hidden in the unknown fog and variables.
The strange energy permeating the air seemed to sense the impending conflict and began to stir restlessly.
Chapter 45 Siblings Turn Against Each Other
At the summit of the Tiantan Volcano, the once-in-a-millennium Tianyuan Festival is reaching its most crucial moment.
Countless Baboo people surrounded the enormous ancient tree of light at the center of the altar, their wings fluttering slightly, emitting a harmonious and ethereal resonance that coalesced into a pure and powerful will.
The eldest Baboo chieftain hovered in the center of the altar, holding an ancient and sacred staff in his hand. The crystal at the top of the staff was constantly drawing in the vast energy guided from the depths of the universe.
The energy, like a golden torrent, surged and flowed within the staff, radiating a breathtakingly powerful aura.
This is the source of the Baboo clan's immense alien energy. It is not something they are born with, but rather something they share equally with the universe through this Heavenly Origin Sacrifice.
The clan leader was preparing to distribute this vast amount of cosmic energy, which had been condensed, equally to each member of the clan using his staff.
Just then, a sinister figure suddenly darted out like a ghost, moving faster than the eye could perceive!
It was none other than Guiguzi, who had been lying in wait for a long time!
With a clear goal in mind, his thin, bony hand reached out like an eagle's claw and grabbed the staff that carried immense energy!
"Baboo! Baboo—!"
Caught off guard, the clan leader lost his staff, which let out a rapid and terrified cry, its small body trembling violently from the backlash of energy.
It repeatedly shouted at Guigu, warning him of the terrible consequences of forcibly seizing and abusing this energy, which would lead to the energy going out of control and even causing a devastating explosion!
Guigu gripped the staff tightly in his hand, feeling the surging cosmic energy within it that almost burst the staff itself, and a greedy and ferocious smirk appeared on his face.
"Unthinkable? Hmph, that's exactly the kind of unthinkable consequences I want!"
He completely ignored the Baboo clan chief's warning and directly and forcefully activated the cosmic energy within the staff, beginning to refine the Xuanming Coffin according to his pre-planned method!
The massive golden energy was forcibly distorted, and under the guidance of Guigu's evil intentions, it emitted painful hissing as it rapidly condensed, compressed, and deformed.
The outline of a coffin, radiating an ominous dark purple light, began to rapidly take shape in the air, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed to devour everything.
The Baboo people around them were extremely anxious. They possessed enormous life energy, but were kind-hearted by nature and had no aggression or combat skills.
They could only watch helplessly as the sacred object was stolen and their homeland was defiled, letting out helpless and sorrowful cries, but they were powerless to stop Guigu's evil deeds.
With an almost limitless supply of cosmic energy, the Xuanming Coffin rapidly solidified and took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Guigu looked at the Xuanming Coffin, which was about to be fully formed, and was so proud that he almost burst out laughing.
However, his ruthlessness goes far beyond that.
With the coffin completed, he had no intention of letting go of the Baboo people who had witnessed his crimes.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his staff, a crimson energy swept across the entire area like a death ripple!
The gentle chirping stopped abruptly.
All the Baboo people, along with their chieftain, fell from the sky like birds with broken wings, their light dimming instantly. They lay motionless on the ground, their fate unknown.
Guigu was about to step forward and begin extracting their enormous life energy, completing the final step of his plan.
"Guigu! Stop!"
A furious shout pierced the air! Feng Ying's figure, like a black lightning bolt, finally arrived with the group of "Underworld Warriors"!
She looked at the Baboo people lying on the altar, at the ominous Xuanming Coffin, and then at Guigu holding a staff with a smug look on his face. In an instant, she understood everything.
Anger burned fiercely in her chest, almost consuming her reason.
"Guigu! You truly harbor evil intentions! You harm the innocent and concoct evil artifacts! I will expose your conspiracy before the Snow Queen!"
Feng Ying, his red eyes blazing with fury, pointed at Gui Gu and shouted fiercely.
When Guigu saw Fengying, he only frowned slightly, seemingly displeased that she had arrived a little faster than expected, but his face quickly returned to its nauseating hypocrisy and smugness.
Upon hearing this, he felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and burst into laughter.
"Expose me? Wind Shadow, that's a question I should be asking!"
Guigu's laughter ceased, his expression suddenly turning righteous and stern, and he turned the tables on Guigu:
"It was clearly you, Feng Ying, who colluded with thieves from the underworld to harm the kind-hearted Baboo family in an attempt to steal the Xuanming Coffin! Now that you've been caught red-handed, what do you have to say for yourself!"
Feng Ying was no fool. Upon hearing Gui Gu's words, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and he completely understood Gui Gu's sinister intentions!
This old man not only wants to frame Hades, but also wants to pin all the blame on her!
No wonder he specifically requested to carry out this escort mission himself!
It turns out that from the very beginning, I was the scapegoat he chose!
"You're trying to frame me...!" Feng Ying trembled with rage.
Guigu shook his head, his tone carrying a condescending sarcasm:
"This is not a frame-up, Fengying, it's the truth! You have the filthy, dark blood of the Underworld flowing through your veins, you were born a bastard! Betraying the Holy Realm is perfectly reasonable and justified for you!"
The word "bastard" was like the sharpest thorn, piercing deep into the most painful scar in Feng Ying's heart!
She could no longer suppress her rage and humiliation, and her body erupted with strange energy!
"Shut up!"
With a flash of movement, Feng Ying, like an arrow released from a bow, launched a fierce attack on Gui Gu with sharp killing moves!
She wanted to tear this despicable and shameless old thief to pieces!
Guigu seemed caught off guard and hastily prepared for battle.
The two figures intersected, their opposing energies clashing violently.
However, to Feng Ying's surprise, in just over ten moves, she found an opening and delivered a fierce whip kick to Gui Gu's chest, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily onto the newly formed Xuanming Coffin!
Feng Ying instinctively sensed something was amiss.
Guigu, as an elder, is far more powerful than he appears, and should not have been so easily defeated and injured.
Sure enough, Guigu, leaning against the coffin, showed no pain on his face, but instead revealed a cold smile of triumph.
But he quickly composed himself, suddenly adopting a pained and compassionate demeanor, clutching his chest, his voice weak and sorrowful:
"Fengying! Turn back before it's too late! Don't be so stubborn and bewitch yourself with Hades! It's not too late to repent now!"
Feng Ying was taken aback by his sudden change of expression, and alarm bells went off in her mind.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, she no longer hesitated and resolved to eradicate this scourge completely!
She formed hand seals, and the enormous alien energy within her body gathered wildly, the dark red light condensing into an energy mark filled with destructive power in her hands.
It was her ultimate technique, Blood Seal Calamity!
