Chapter 674: The Real Intention Is Revealed in the End

The remaining eight Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors looked at one another. Even Ji Hongsen had failed to predict that something like this would happen. He had invited a bunch of Primordial Chaos experts to supplement his level-nine Divine Array disc, not the lake.

Fan Yuan looked solemnly at Ji Hongsen and stated, “Insular Lord Ji, we will most likely not be able to reach the Chaos Green Lotus given our strength…”

Then, the Chaos Green Lotus suddenly became blurry and charged out with a green flare.

“The Chaos Green Lotus is trying to escape! Everyone, stop it!” Ji Hongsen lifted his hand, threw out more than 1,000 array flags, and attacked the Chaos Green Lotus with his Dharma treasure.

There was no need for Ji Hongsen to be reminded, as all seven Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors took out their Dharma treasures the moment the Chaos Green Lotus began its escape. At the same time, the domains of these Sacred Emperors were stacked together and enveloped the Chaos Green Lotus. The Green Lotus’s natural defense was weakened by this combined attack.

Ji Hongsen smirked sinisterly. Then, he took out at least 5,000 array flags. However, he soon discovered that someone had not joined them in this attack against the Chaos Green Lotus.

Ji Hongsen identified this person as Dao Chuanxun. It enraged him when he saw that Dao Chuanxun had snatched the two Five-Element Flags, turned, and left instead of participating in oppressing the Green Lotus.

Ji Hongsen was livid. Unfortunately, he was currently unable to attack Dao Chuanxun and could only hasten to set up the array. Other than hating Dao Chuanxun for escaping, he hated Di Jiu as well. Di Jiu had spoiled his plans, causing Dao Chuanxun to be able to run away.

Guang Mingzi was supposed to prevent anyone from escaping while Ji Hongsen sealed the major array. However, that weakling Di Jiu had just killed his accomplice.

If Guang Mingzi had still been there, Dao Chuanxun would definitely have been trapped within the level-nine Divine Array disc and used as a sacrifice for the Chaos Green Lotus.

The Chaos aura became increasingly dense. The Green Lotus aura, which made people feel as though their body and Principal Spirit were subliming, became clearer.

Everyone caught sight of the Green Lotus with their Spiritual Force. At that moment, they started to breathe heavily, unable to shift their attention away from the lotus.

Ji Hongsen was not the only person who had witnessed Dao Chuanxun escape. However, no one cared about that now. As for the fact that Dao Chuanxun had taken the two Five-Element Flags, even an idiot would know that Di Jiu would not give up on them. Di Jiu most certainly had set up a Confinement Killing Array outside, which meant that Dao Chuanxun would not be able to escape. Ji Hongsen would not let this go either. The rest of them would rather seize the Chaos Green Lotus than the two Five-Element Flags, as the former was far more valuable than the latter.

The Five-Element Flags were only valuable as a set. Two Five-Element Flags were nothing compared to the Chaos Green Lotus.

Crack! Ji Hongsen’s Divine Array cracked open and Ji Hongsen started to yell crazily, “Everyone, quickly strengthen your domains! Attack the Green Lotus together!”

No one would back out at this crucial moment. All their efforts would be wasted if the Green Lotus ripped open this major array.

Ji Hongsen, on the other hand, grabbed and threw out more array flags. Beams of light exploded from the hidden level-nine Divine Array disc.

At the same time, Gou Zibi took out a three-feet-long, dark red spear and aimed at Ji Hongsen’s hindbrain. Then, the six Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors, including Gou Zibi, suddenly sensed that their movements were being restricted. The terrifying pressure caused their domain to start cracking.

None of them was a fool. They all knew that this was the effect of a level-nine Divine Array disc.

“What is the meaning of this, Insular Lord Ji?” hollered Wu Luo in anger when he reacted.

“What are you talking about? I’m trying to confine the Green…” Ji Hongsen suddenly stopped speaking, as he had similarly sensed the threat.

Ji Hongsen paled immediately. This was the ideal moment to offer up sacrifice to the Green Lotus. The lotus would slow down if it absorbed the blood of six Primordial Chaos cultivators. It would then be unable to escape into the void and he would obtain it.

Unfortunately, at the most crucial moment, someone had plotted against him. Who was capable of such an act? That was his level-nine Divine Array disc!

Ji Hongsen frantically burned his Blood Essence, trying to break free from the long spear. However, he had no strength to accomplish that.

Pew! The long spear failed to completely pierce his Spiritual Sea, although it cracked a little from the impact. He was severely injured as a result.

The remaining Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors, who had originally been bound by the level-nine Divine Array disc, regained their strength and mobility to break free from the bindings. They rushed out of the Divine Array without hesitation while protecting their bodies.

Due to the domain oppression and the blood sacrifice of numerous Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors, the Chaos Green Lotus disappeared without a trace.

Gou Zibi was stunned as well. He had not sensed the level-nine Divine Array disc Ji Hongsen had set up, but he had expected this. The presence of the array disc had become more apparent to him when they’d entered the Confinement Divine Array and attacked the Chaos Green Lotus.

In Gou Zibi’s opinion, this array disc was used to secure the Green Lotus in place. Therefore, he had suddenly attacked Ji Hongsen and used his ace immediately with the intention of killing six Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors, including Ji Hongsen.

He had not expected that the array disc Ji Hongsen had used was meant to bind them instead. He would have been bound by the array disc and sacrificed to the Green Lotus if he had not sneaked an attack on Ji Hongsen just as Ji Hongsen had activated the array disc.

There was no way he would attack the rest of the Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors now. It would be meaningless to stay any further when the Green Lotus had already escaped. Gou Zibi was a very decisive person. After understanding what was going on, he instantly turned and left.

…

Di Jiu remained at the exit of the eight-trigram array pattern, clearly sensing that his two Five-Element Flags were coming closer and closer. He sneered. That bastard Ji Hongsen was finally there. Di Jiu was certain that Ji Hongsen had failed to obtain the Green Lotus and now intended to take the Five-Element Flags.

Di Jiu frowned when he identified the person rushing over as Dao Chuanxun and not Ji Hongsen.

This did not make sense. Why would Dao Chuanxun dare to seize the Five-Element Flags? Regardless of the reason, Dao Chuanxun could not leave, as the flags were in his hands.

When Dao Chuanxun entered the Confinement Killing Array, he yelled, “Daoist Di, I helped you snatch the two Five-Element Flags! I am leaving now and I will return the flags to you!”

Dao Chuanxun threw the two Five-Element Flags into the air as though they were something ordinary and not two Connate array flags.

Di Jiu instantly comprehended Dao Chuanxun’s intentions. After some hesitation, he opened the Confinement Killing Array and let Dao Chuanxun go.

Dao Chuanxun let out a long breath of relief the moment he dashed out of the eight-trigram array pattern. He wiped the cold sweat forming on his forehead before rushing out of the Netherworld Corner Castle.

He wouldn’t dare take Di Jiu’s Five-Element Flags, but he had taken them with him because he knew that Di Jiu would not let him get away. There was no way Di Jiu would not set up a Confinement Killing Array at the exit, considering Di Jiu’s Array Dao standards. The two Five-Element Flags would thus be used as a toll fee.

Di Jiu did not know what was going on. Dao Chuanxun had just left, but the second unexpected cultivator he saw was Gou Zibi.

From a distance, Gou Zibi shouted, “Daoist Di, we are friends and not enemies! I have no intention of helping the rest who are on their way here. I will owe you a debt of gratitude if you let me go…”

By the time Gou Zibi finished his last sentence, he had already entered the Confinement Killing Array.

Di Jiu knew that the others must have guessed that he had set up a Confinement Killing Array here. Even if all nine of them came here at the same time, he would need to let some of them go. Since Gou Zibi had said all that, Di Jiu did not intend to take any action against him.

As expected, Gou Zibi immediately disappeared from his sight, just like Dao Chuanxun, the moment he exited Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Array.
