Chapter 425 Taking Action, Solving the Game
Ji Wuchen's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Seeing that the patriarch had even brought out the clan's trump card, his last hope was completely shattered, and he knew that things would likely end badly today.
"Ancestor!" Ji Wuchen's voice was tinged with grief and indignation. "What have I done to deserve using the clan's most precious treasure and slaughtering my own bloodline?"
"I'll say it one last time." Ji Yinglong, wielding the Wind Condensation Sword, frantically channeled his magical power into the blade, causing it to emit a chilling azure light. "Hand over the Yin-Yang Magnetic Ring and reveal the demonic monk you've been colluding with!"
"Otherwise, don't blame the Ancestor for showing no mercy today and cleaning up the sect!"
His face showed genuine rage, and the murderous intent in his eyes was no longer concealed.
It seemed that in the next moment, he would wield these three tribulation spiritual treasures and kill his great-grandson on the spot.
Thousands of feet away, Chen Yi frowned, staring intently at the scene.
Just moments before, when Ji Yinglong took out the Wind Condensation Sword and did this outrageous thing, he used his ability to sense the heavens and earth to keenly sense an extremely subtle opportunity that did not belong to this place quietly descending.
That opportunity, like an invisible thread, precisely wrapped around Ji Yinglong's thoughts, amplifying his greed, anger, and murderous intent.
Chen Yi and Hu Mingyue exchanged a silent glance, both seeing confirmation in each other's eyes.
The two thought alike.
Then, a powerful being who had reached the Nascent Soul stage secretly manipulated the Daoist principles and, following the thread of cause and effect, subtly influenced Ji Yinglong's thoughts.
Otherwise, given Ji Yinglong's cunning and shrewdness, even if he were extremely greedy, he wouldn't have gone so far as to so frantically try to kill his most talented junior in front of everyone.
"Uncle Chen, are you going to make a move now?"
Hu Mingyue's cool voice echoed in Chen Yi's heart.
"Otherwise, your friend might really be in mortal danger today."
She was eager to see how this mysterious "Uncle Chen" would choose in this dilemma.
If he were to intervene, he could certainly save Ji Wuchen, but he would not only completely expose his strength in front of everyone, but he might also directly confirm his identity as a "demon monk".
Most importantly, the Nascent Soul Celestial Lord who secretly intervened behind the scenes might now focus his attention entirely on Chen Yi. Once targeted by such an old monster, returning to the Great Azure Realm could bring endless trouble.
However, if he doesn't make a move, given Ji Yinglong's current state of mind, which is being influenced, he might "accidentally" kill Ji Wuchen under the manipulation of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord's karma.
Chen Yi's expression turned solemn. He had not expected that a Nascent Soul cultivator would manipulate cause and effect to this extent within the Black Mountain Secret Realm.
It was an invisible and intangible yet omnipresent strange power, as if an invisible thread was quietly manipulating Ji Yinglong's soul, infinitely amplifying the killing intent in his heart, and leading him toward the predetermined ending.
He sensed it briefly and quickly deduced in his mind:
Either the Nascent Soul stage expert himself would arrive, but that's extremely unlikely; such an existence entering the secret realm would inevitably trigger a violent backlash from the laws.
Either the avatar of the Bitter Deity encountered trouble, alarming the true self.
Unable to arrive in person, the powerful being used some inconceivable method to send a wisp of divine consciousness across the endless void, precisely inserting it into the causal flow of this place.
Chen Yi knew that he could no longer remain a bystander.
If he doesn't intervene, Ji Wuchen might truly perish here today.
More importantly, if the behind-the-scenes deity is allowed to manipulate cause and effect at will and follow the clues, the secrets hidden here may also be exposed.
This one is probably bigger.
It is likely that the true form of Kudu used some unknown supernatural power to manipulate the causal energy of this place, and through Ji Yinglong, broke through the surface of the event in order to probe the location of the demon monk behind it, and then investigate the causal thread of the injury and death of his Kudu clone, and thus continue to investigate along this clue.
Indeed, every being capable of manipulating cause and effect employs methods that are far more unpredictable than ordinary.
Chen Yi felt serious. This situation seemed to be Ji Ying dealing with Ji Wuchen, but in reality, it was Ku Du behind the scenes intervening in the causal energy of this world in order to find out who was hiding underwater.
Kudu is using this chessboard to checkmate himself.
To solve the chess problem...
The strike must be seamless, breaking the deadlock without leaving any trace of cause and effect.
Thinking of this, Chen Yi turned to Hu Mingyue beside him and transmitted his voice, "Mingyue, could I borrow your jade pendant again?"
Do you want the Immortal Jade again?
Hu Mingyue was suddenly filled with doubt. She subconsciously focused her attention on her chest, the key point where she nurtured this treasure.
"What do you want to use it for?" she asked telepathically.
This celestial jade held immense significance for her. After Chen Yi borrowed it last time, she spent considerable time nurturing it back into her heart and restoring its spiritual essence.
This treasure is her key to concealing her immortal body and avoiding the influence of the laws of heaven and earth; she would never easily show it to anyone unless absolutely necessary.
Chen Yi made no attempt to conceal anything, briefly explaining the current crisis and his own plans, pointing out that a powerful figure was secretly interfering, and that Ji Yinglong had become someone else's pawn.
She was somewhat surprised that Chen Yi could see this clearly, and after weighing the pros and cons, finally made a decision.
If Uncle Chen gets into trouble now, it won't be good for her future plans.
In the current situation, the two are truly in the same boat.
She turned slightly to the side, blocking the view of others, and reached her delicate hand deep into her collar, taking out the jade pendant that was still warm from her body between her soft and plump breasts.
The moment the jade pendant left her body, there seemed to be a hint of something indescribable about her aura, but it was quickly suppressed by other secret techniques.
Chen Yi took the jade pendant, feeling its warm, smooth texture in his palm, still carrying Hu Mingyue's unique scent.
His mind stirred slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in my mind:
[Sensing an unknown grade of immortal spirit jade, unable to absorb it.]
He must definitely have this in mind.
Then, under Hu Mingyue's slightly surprised gaze, Chen Yi did not hesitate any longer and directly activated the distinct black and white divine consciousness origin in his soul world, which flowed into the Immortal Spirit Jade like a torrent!
"Buzz—"
'
A profound and mysterious fluctuation, not belonging to this realm, silently rippled outwards from Chen Yi.
This fluctuation formed an absolute "domain," completely enveloping Chen Yi's entire range of divine sense, magic, and perception, along with the disrupted world of causal fluctuations.
Within this realm, the secrets of heaven are concealed, and cause and effect are in chaos.
Within Hu Mingyue's glimpse, a faint silver spatial ripple, like a gentle ripple on the surface of water, quietly emerged.
Amidst the ripples, however, was a brief and violent flash of purple lightning—the power of soul lightning condensed to its extreme.
This was the first time Chen Yi had so exquisitely combined the power of space with the power of soul thunder.
At this moment, he used the fifth-tier [Void Thunder Soul Talisman] that he had obtained from the system deep within his soul without reservation.
The next instant, the spatial ripples that had merged with the soul lightning and purple lightning, along with that devastating attack, disappeared simultaneously along with the silver light.
Silent and invisible, as if it had never existed.
However, in Hu Mingyue's eyes, the silver and purple intertwined spatial soul lightning power had already crossed the void, traversed the intersection of the real world and the spirit world, and instantly appeared in the soul path world, within Ji Yinglong's divine soul perception!
