Aunt Zhu's answer was firm and self-righteous: "I don't know either!"
"..."
“Many strange things have always happened to Jiuyou, but I never ask too many questions. Before he went in, he told me not to worry, but to wipe out the Earth Mother’s minions as soon as possible. Only by working together can the war end quickly.”
What Master Sihai was most concerned about was: "Has the spirit of the Earth Mother been released?"
Did He Lingchuan's team achieve their objective of entering the secret realm?
As soon as everyone came out, they could feel the city shaking and trembling, as if a force from the deepest part of the earth was tearing it apart. Another violent tremor struck, and the entire mountain forest was swaying from side to side. The low wall next to Immortal Mingke cracked with three or four deep fissures, and several eaves of palaces not far away collapsed with a crash.
"It was released, but before we were kicked out of the secret realm, we saw it being dragged back underground. I think it's awake, but it hasn't regained its freedom." Immortal Mingke deduced, "However, such a strong tremor is also very abnormal for Jade Capital City, isn't it? Most likely, the awakened Earth Mother is wrestling with Shangguan Biao?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Aunt Zhu went into battle mode, shouting, "Hey, enemies are coming!"
Du Zhishan had been moved into the mountains, and the group saw that the number of stone men and tigers emerging from the hillside ahead was ten times that of the monsters, roaring and charging towards them in a massive swarm.
The tallest of these stone-formed monsters can reach five zhang in height, and they vary in size and shape. They were clearly created by Shangguan Biao using the power of the Earth Mother. Some of the monsters are obviously different from living creatures, as they were made from stone powder and bones.
“These are all consumables created by Shangguan Biao,” Master Chonghui said quickly. “Why don’t we go to heaven? Why waste spiritual energy on them?”
He made a lot of sense, and Master Sihai nodded: "Let's go, let's kill the monsters."
Before the stone man arrived, the immortals rode their magical artifacts and flew towards the city.
Aunt Zhu was about to board a small flying boat by herself when she finally had a chance to quietly ask He Lingchuan, "Did you get into a fight with Shangguan Biao?"
It's amazing that even the void couldn't sever its connection with He Lingchuan.
His answer remained clear: "Not yet. Shangguan Biao's Void Land is Thunder Heaven Plain, and he hasn't shown himself yet."
“Thunder Heaven Plain?” Aunt Zhu said, “Oh, that’s where he was assassinated by Liu Yisheng.”
This was another place that left a deep impression on Shangguan Biao.
"Is he plotting some bad idea again?"
"Shangguan Biao's plan was to use Changfeng Valley in the secret realm to wipe us out in one fell swoop, but who knew that I would successfully awaken the Earth Mother, and his plan would fail." He Lingchuan asked it, "If you were Shangguan Biao, how would you have turned things around?"
The current situation is unfavorable to everyone. It is unfavorable to He Lingchuan, unfavorable to Lingshan, and equally unfavorable to Shangguan Biao.
Neither side got the result they wanted.
Huh? Another brainstorming session? Aunt Zhu pondered for a while before saying, "Steal all of Mother Earth's power again?"
“That’s right, that’s the foundation! The power of the Earth Mother is the cornerstone of his operation of Jade Capital City and construction of the secret realm; once the Earth Mother’s true form awakens, this cornerstone will shake and become unstable. Therefore, Shangguan Biao’s primary goal is to reseal the Earth Mother’s essence.”
"How could Mother Earth agree? She was ambushed before, and even if she's dull-witted, she should have learned her lesson by now."
“If the Earth Mother were at her peak, Shangguan Biao wouldn’t be able to seal her away.” He Lingchuan paused. “Shangguan Biao’s second important goal is to kill me. Because the struggle for the secret realm is, in the end, a struggle between me and him. The only rule of this game is that the winner takes all.”
By reclaiming the power of the Earth Mother, killing He Lingchuan, and devouring the Panlong Secret Realm, Shangguan Biao can regain control of the chaotic situation in Yujing City.
Aunt Zhu sneered, the sharp spikes on her back involuntarily standing up: "It's courting death."
"When the Earth Mother first appeared in the secret realm, Shangguan Biao didn't make any other moves, which must mean he had other plans. We can't let our guard down."
"I'm heading to the city. The people of Lingshan are all gathered on several flying boats, whispering amongst themselves, trying to keep me from hearing," Aunt Zhu whispered to He Lingchuan. "And the people around me are all treacherous."
The cultivators on the Panlong Wasteland are all here for the Great Square Pot.
The fact that the old lady could think of these things shows she's much wiser than before. Indeed, the environment is the best teacher.
Dong Rui, who had been listening in, suddenly spoke up: "Hey, if that's the case, isn't there a more straightforward way to defeat Shangguan Biao?"
He was somewhat smug.
“I know. I considered this possibility before exploring the Earth Mother’s Nest.” He Lingchuan shook his head, “It’s not the best course of action.”
At this moment, Master Sihai and Immortal Mingke jumped onto the boat and asked Aunt Zhu, "Is that 'Tiger Wing General' really the Nine Nether Emperor?"
"Uh." It was the worst at handling this kind of situation. Aunt Zhu scratched her head with her paw, but the others had already figured out its answer.
Master Sihai said, "Lingshan and Cangyan have always cooperated closely. The Emperor's actions are indeed a bit too formal."
Aunt Zhu said in a deep, muffled voice, "This is a strategic necessity."
I kept it from you because of strategic needs.
"Cut off Shangguan Biao's wings, weaken his power, and it would be best to kill the Heavenly Demon as well," said Aunt Zhu. "The Nine Netherworlds will help the Earth Mother find liberation, so we should cooperate with them as much as possible."
Master Sihai looked at Immortal Mingke and asked, "What exactly is the Void Land?"
Even Immortal Mingke had never heard of this name before.
"The place where the master and guardian spirit of the secret realm go when the old and new secret realms are replaced." Aunt Zhu also stayed there.
Immortal Mingke glanced at her with a strange look in his eyes.
Everyone was suddenly kicked out of the secret realm, and the Spider Queen didn't have time to communicate with the Nine Nether Emperor. How can they now insist that it was the Void Land?
He knew the Spider Queen; she wouldn't speak carelessly about things she wasn't sure about.
Master Sihai then asked, "How can you be sure they can escape?"
“It’s definitely possible.” Aunt Zhu’s tone was resolute. “Jiuyou’s understanding of the secret realm far surpasses that of all of us.”
Immortal Mingke hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Actually, the Spider Queen's trust in the Nine Nether Emperor far exceeded that in all of them, right?
"There is a demon army below, about to enter the Panlong Secret Realm."
They have flown back to the main city, where the demon army is very active, and a large number of servants are transporting supplies.
Aunt Zhu immediately recognized: "Those two teams are transporting Xuanjing to the Earth Mother's Heart Fire, which means they are supplying it with energy."
They had delivered it in person before.
At this point, it suddenly remembered that it didn't know how Ling Jinbao was doing.
Are you still alive?
It had been busy in the secret realm and knew little about what was happening outside.
Upon hearing that what was being transported below was Xuanjing (a type of magical crystal), everyone immediately exclaimed, "Let's go! Quickly go down and intercept them!"
"Yes, yes, to block the enemy's logistics."
