Chapter 421: Luring the Tiger from its Lair
Chapter 421: Luring the Tiger from its Lair
"What exactly are you planning to do?"
Ye Wenxuan slowly glided across the sky, and as she approached the grand hall deep within the Thousand Demons Cave, her heartbeat gradually quickened.
Until she could sense the aura within the grand hall.
She suddenly gasped a few times, abruptly halting her forward motion.
"What a fool!"
This was completely different from what Ye Wenxuan had anticipated. How could she possibly meet the old dog without any discussion or preparation and just recklessly approach him?
What if something went wrong? She clenched her teeth tightly, but seeing Nie Jun continue to glide towards the front, it indicated that Shen Yi was still approaching the grand hall.
"That's the disciple I painstakingly nurtured!"
Ye Wenxuan suddenly clenched her palms tightly. Nie Jun was her only hope of leaving the Nanyang Sect.
But at this moment, Shen Yi was leading him step by step towards the old dog.
She fell silent for a long time.
By the time she completely lost sight of Nie Jun's figure, she stomped her feet in frustration and followed in the clouds.
The majestic and intact grand hall gradually came into view.
Ye Wenxuan paused.
Because she didn't see the scene of slaughter she had imagined.
Nie Jun still hung in the sky, just like her, staring down below in confusion.
There, Shen Yi stood alone in front of the grand hall, gazing at it.
The young man's expression was calm, and his black hair gently fluttered in the wind.
Although the area in front of the grand hall was sparse, Ye Wenxuan could still sense the powerful aura emanating from within. The old dog was clearly inside.
"What's going on?" she wondered with growing suspicion.
After a moment, Shen Yi sat down cross-legged, spreading out his palms. Black threads with golden malevolent aura emerged from his fingertips, and he began to set up a formation right in front of Zhang Laifu.
"..."
Ye Wenxuan looked at the grand hall and then at Shen Yi, her eyes gradually becoming hazy.
A mere Soul Core Realm cultivator had boldly walked up to the old dog's lair, akin to a lamb walking into a tiger's mouth.
But now, the ferocious tiger in the cave had, for some unknown reason, ignored the juicy meat delivered right before its eyes.
Her long-held beliefs suddenly began to crumble.
The peaceful scene before her eyes clashed sharply with the brutal image of Wutong Mountain's slaughter in her mind.
Finally, it all turned into a breath of disbelief.
"Huff."
Shen Yi sat cross-legged, his eyes calm like a still well, while the golden threads at his fingertips rapidly danced.
The intricate Iron Painting Silver Hook Formation, a complex and dense array, was laid out perfectly on the ground by Shen Yi.
With his current soul strength, he could set up two of the Return Void Formation's patterns, and for the final pattern, he planned to have Tongxin Zhuan complete it.
To outsiders, this move seemed absurd.
But it was a well-thought-out decision by Shen Yi.
The old dog, a Reverting Void Realm demon, had almost gathered all the treasures of the Nanyang Sect. Its foundation was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Such a powerful demon, if it wanted to leave, who could possibly stop it?
Therefore, Shen Yi suddenly thought of Chen Qiankun from a few years ago.
The situation back then was similar.
The old dragon in Yangchun River could leave the river at any time, and Chen Qiankun was spread too thin to watch over the entire Linjiang County.
Just like the old dog.
With Shen Yi's strength, he couldn't possibly keep an eye on the old dog day and night. If the old dog wanted to use its means to escape his sight and slaughter the entire Great Qian, it would be an easy task.
At that time, Shen Yi's choice was to use Chen Qiankun as bait to lure out the dragon.
Now, his choice remained the same, only this time, he chose himself as the bait.
The last time the Lion King's identity was exposed, he had been clawed, and even in that severely injured state, if the old dog had wanted to come out, it could have easily killed Shen Yi despite his all-out escape.
But the old dog didn't come out.
This time, Shen Yi initially intended to only bring along a few people from Wutong Mountain to help identify the treasures, but in the end, he didn't refuse the company of the Great Qian and Xu family members.
The reason for this was that he still wanted to test whether the old dog would leave the grand hall due to provocation.
Confrontation was inevitable.
Therefore, instead of engaging on the opponent's territory, it was better to lure them out.
Shen Yi had now partially mastered the Immortal Phoenix True Body, and even if he couldn't surpass the old dog, he was confident in holding the opponent off without issue. The Great Qian and the others were waiting outside, and they could still leave the Thousand Demon Cavern in time when needed.
At this moment, as long as the people from Wutong Mountain weren't fools, they would definitely go over and place down the Dao Plate.
Shen Yi was well aware that he was the variable that neither side had accounted for.
However... until they reached the front of the grand hall, the old dog still showed no signs of movement.
Shen Yi finally faced reality; this dog was even more patient than he had imagined. When the opponent deemed the timing right, the subsequent retaliation would surely be more brutal than he could imagine.
Unless he could achieve the state of the Wutong Mountain Ancestor, treating external matters like dust, remaining calm and peaceful even if all his old friends perished, and secluding himself from the world, he would have to engage in a real fight with this dog.
The golden silk threads shrouded in black mist descended rapidly, gradually taking shape.
"..."
In the grand hall, the old dog lying on the meditation cushion slowly opened its eyes.
Zhang Laifu had previously sensed someone breaking through the Reverting Void Realm and using the aura of a Dao Plate.
Such an obvious action was like treating him like a fool.
He wasn't clear what kind of trap these lowly mortals had prepared, but no matter what, he would never fall for it.
Zhang Laifu understood their intentions better than anyone else.
He knew what these people were after.
If deceived, they would surely face irreversible consequences, and he had no need to take such a risk at this time.
Time slowly passed, but the surroundings of the grand hall seemed frozen in place.
Only the golden silk threads on Shen Yi's fingertips were moving.
As the communication jade slip on his waist trembled slightly, Tongxin Zhuan finally memorized the "Forbidden" Array in a rigid manner, not seeking to comprehend it, but only to be able to replicate it.
"..."
Nie Jun watched as Tongxin Zhuan walked from afar to the entrance of the grand hall, also beginning to set up the array with Forging Deity Heavenly Silk.
He was a little confused.
Did Shen Yi intend to use some kind of formation to trap the old dog in here forever? But with such an unconcealed setup, how foolish would one have to be to blindly walk into it?
"Am I done?"
Tongxin Zhuan was sweating profusely, his fingertips trembling with tension.
This was his first time participating in setting up a Reverting Void Realm formation.
Shen Yi's methods were astonishing.
The last time he saw him setting up an array, it was with black killing aura, but this time, to accommodate Tongxin Zhuan, Shen Yi had changed the Forging Deity Heavenly Silk to one with a fire attribute.
"Try to stay a bit further away."
As Shen Yi nodded slightly, Tongxin Zhuan finally relaxed, and then he saw Shen Yi take off his black robe and hand it over.
"This... are we going to fight?"
Tongxin Zhuan swallowed, never in his wildest dreams had he imagined he would get to participate in a battle in the Reverting Void Realm.
As he spoke, a streak of light transformed into a Silver Armor Snow Cloak, snapping into place on Shen Yi.
The youth who had sat in the same spot for many days finally stood up slowly.
Shen Yi gripped the wrist armor, adjusting it slightly.
This simple action instantly caught the attention of Nie Jun and Ye Wenxuan.
Under their tense and somewhat incredulous gazes, Shen Yi slowly climbed the majestic stone staircase, stepped over the Nanyang bas-relief, and entered the grand hall.
Behind him, the Iron Painting Silver Hook Formation Array suddenly lit up, and the aura of the Reverting Void Realm spread out with a boom!
