Chapter 1726 You're the evil cultivator!
"Scar marks from a fire..."
Ye Yan's eyes narrowed, and he reached out and pressed his hand over the scorch mark. He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. "There is an extremely weak fluctuation of fire-attribute spiritual energy. It is very pure and deliberate. It is like some kind of high-level fire spell that deliberately controls its power, leaving only this trace, and using a special method to cover it up."
Mingchuan insisted, "It's absolutely that old geezer Su Hongzhen from the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect! It feels exactly the same as their Burning Heaven Technique!"
He then pointed to several inconspicuous dents next to the rock: "Also, these marks, which seem to have been caused by wind and rain or demonic erosion, are arranged in a way that vaguely forms the base of a small spirit-gathering and energy-dispersing array. Although most of them have been erased, we can still see clues by tracing back the remaining traces using spatial power!"
He formed a hand seal and injected a wisp of silver spatial power into the dents.
Instantly, faint, almost dissipated lines of spiritual energy appeared in the air, outlining the incomplete shape of an array.
The core of the array points directly to that rock with scorch marks!
"Someone once set up a temporary formation here, using fire-type spiritual power as a guide to gather and direct the chaotic spiritual energy in the earth's veins to impact a specific node of the Demon Abyss seal!"
Ye Yan stroked his beard, his eyes sharp: "It won't be long. Although the remaining traces of spiritual energy are faint, they haven't been completely assimilated by the demonic energy or dissipated naturally. At most, it will take no more than five days."
"Five days..." Mingchuan calculated the time, "It's exactly the time after the founding ceremony of the Wanchuan Sect, when Su Hongzhen returns to the sect after being humiliated at my place!"
Everything clicked.
"really!!!"
Su Hongzhen lost face at the founding ceremony and harbored resentment. Upon returning to his sect, he immediately began to seek revenge.
Knowing that it would be difficult to confront the Wan Chuan Sect head-on, he set his sights on the Demon Abyss Seal.
They secretly sent people to infiltrate the Black Wind Mountains and set up a guiding array near the Demon Abyss Seal to disturb the earth's veins, impact the already increasingly fragile seal nodes, and accelerate its collapse!
Once the Demon Abyss fully erupts and demonic energy runs rampant, the first to be hit will be the Wanchuan Sect, which is located not far from the Black Wind Mountains!
At that time, Mingchuan will either be overwhelmed by the demonic calamity, suffer damage to its sect's foundation, or even perish in the fight against the demons.
What a clever tactic – using someone else to do the dirty work, diverting the blame eastward!
"That's Su Hongzhen!" Ming Chuan's eyes flashed with cold light, and the spatial power around him trembled slightly, revealing his inner rage!
"Isn't he afraid of losing control, getting himself burned, and causing widespread devastation to the entire Spirit Realm?!"
Ye Yan sighed: "Greed blinds the mind, and resentment gnaws at the heart. What wouldn't this kind of person do? Right now, he probably wishes he could die with you."
He looked at the ever-expanding crack in the Demon Abyss, his face filled with worry: "The problem now is that the seal is being destroyed at an accelerated pace, and the demonic energy is leaking out faster and faster. Even if we erase the traces here now, we can't stop the seal from collapsing. Su Hongzhen's move is a calculated scheme. He knows that even if we discover it, we can only clean up this mess first."
Mingchuan forced himself to calm down.
He narrowed his eyes, and a wicked idea suddenly popped into his mind amidst his previous worries.
A smug smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
“Master, I suddenly feel that we don’t need to solve the current troubles anymore.”
Ye Yan looked bewildered: "What do you mean? Are you planning to quit? We've only just established ourselves in this Spirit Realm, kid, don't do anything reckless."
Mingchuan clicked his tongue: "Look at what you're saying, do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"So what exactly do you want to do?"
Hearing Ye Yan's question and seeing the Demon Abyss Gate before him rumbling and trembling, Ming Chuan's smile grew even wider.
"Since Su Hongzhen wants to drag the entire Spirit Realm down with him, then let him act impulsively."
Ye Yan: ?
"Speak clearly!"
Mingchuan chuckled and said, "Master, think about it, what's above the Spirit Realm? The Holy Realm! If the Spirit Realm is annihilated by demonic energy, how long will the Holy Realm's miserable days last?"
"I bet the Holy Domain will send people down to stop it before the Spirit Realm is even persecuted!"
Ye Yan rolled his eyes: "Disciple! Gamblers have no future!"
Mingchuan ignored him and continued excitedly, "I'll bet again! Su Hongzhen is ruthless and doesn't care about the lives of others. He'll definitely anger the Holy Domain."
"Perhaps someone from the Holy Land will take a dislike to him and eliminate him on the side!"
Ye Yan: ...
"Gamblers have no future!!!"
Mingchuan continued to ignore him, slamming his fist on the table again and saying, "Since that's the case, why don't we add fuel to the fire of this plan! I'll go back and find the spies Su Hongzhen has planted in our sect, put him under pressure, break his defenses, and speed up the destruction of the Demon Abyss!"
As Mingchuan spoke, he slapped his thigh, got up, and was about to head towards the sect.
Ye Yan chased after him, pointing at him angrily and yelling, "Evil cultivator! You brat, you're the evil cultivator! How can you take such a shortcut? Don't you care about the lives of the surrounding residents?"
Mingchuan tossed his hair: "Why worry about all that nonsense? Just put a barrier around their heads and that's it."
After Mingchuan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several silver streaks of light immediately flashed across the sky!
Immediately afterwards, those silver streams of light transformed into spatial lines that formed barriers, easily separating the surrounding residents from the Demon Abyss!
Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!
Ye Yan couldn't help but click his tongue; this kid's strength had unknowingly surpassed his by a great deal.
Mingchuan transformed into a silver light, covering thousands of miles in an instant, and soon returned to the Wanchuan Sect's mountain gate.
He did not appear directly, but instead used spatial power to conceal his figure, quietly hovering in the sky, overlooking the entire sect.
The sect's protective formation was fully activated, with a faint silver light curtain like an inverted giant bowl enveloping the mountain gate. Runes flowed on its surface, emitting a stable and vast spatial fluctuation.
Disciples were on duty at each important point, and the patrol teams were well-organized, which showed that Jinman and Axiong's arrangements were quite good.
In the direction of the Bingzi area, the twenty new disciples had been guided away from the Enlightenment Cliff by the steward disciples and returned to their respective courtyards.
One of the figures was walking unhurriedly towards Courtyard No. 7, Bingzi; it was Lin Yi.
"They're quite composed."
Mingchuan's gaze lingered on Lin Yi for a moment before shifting away and looking towards the main hall.
In the plaza in front of the palace, Ah Xiong was leading a team of disciples from the Battle Hall to inspect the array nodes, while Ji Zhou was whispering something to several patrol captains not far away.
Meanwhile, Jinman's aura was stable, and he was monitoring the entire sect through the Observation Mirror.
Mingchuan transmitted his voice to the three of them: "Axiong, Jizhou, come to the Mirror of Heaven. I'm back. I have something important to discuss with you."
All three were startled. Ah Xiong and Ji Zhou exchanged a glance, quickly finished their tasks, and flew towards the Hanging Palace.
Jinman also stood up, her eyes filled with worry.
