Chapter 224 The Tower of Destiny Collapsed!
“Since we can’t break through the secret realm, why don’t we take control of it?” Xie Wanning suggested.
The others looked at each other, not understanding what Xie Wanning meant.
"I mean, we'll devour the entire secret realm. This way, we can ensure the safety of the other disciples within the realm and also break the illusion," Xie Wanning explained patiently.
“Isn’t this what Demon Lord Wanxun did? How are we any different from those demonic cultivators if we do this?” Zhong Yingxiu said disapprovingly.
Devouring secret realms is inherently an overbearing and unreasonable act. If one were to actually do it, they would be condemned by others in the cultivation world.
Knowing Wanxun's identity, Qiao Qingzi and Xia Mengqi glanced at Xie Wanning simultaneously, concealing the smiles on their lips.
Xie Wanning firmly stated, "We are here to save people, which is different from the Demon Lord's actions."
Xie Wanning felt a pang of pain in her heart as she said those words. The nature of their actions was the same; they were trying to save someone, while Wanxun was trying to save her.
“I agree. Right now, the lives of the disciples are the most important thing in the entire secret realm,” Si Jinchuan said.
“But I can’t accept it.” Zhong Yingxiu didn’t want to do the same thing as the Demon Lord.
However, the Devouring Secret Realm requires a large amount of spiritual power, and Zhong Yingxiu's help is indispensable.
Xie Wanning lowered her head and remained silent, thinking of something.
She raised her eyes and said, "Everyone, do you know why Sect Leader Liu would take control of the entire secret realm and want to kill us all?"
"That's because the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's strength has weakened since the Chaos Sea. In order to maintain its reputation as one of the eight major sects, it has to do something."
"Instead of improving our own strength, we should eliminate the outstanding disciples of other sects. That way, the entire cultivation world will be balanced. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion will not fall behind other sects. Similarly, after losing their personal disciples, will other sects be able to survive in the eye-catching cultivation world? If we die here, my fellow disciples and our sect will be affected."
"Therefore, we must go out and not let Master Liu's scheme succeed."
Zhong Yingxiu thought of her sect and that Shen Cheng was still in the secret realm. After much internal struggle, Zhong Yingxiu finally agreed to devour the secret realm.
Si Jinchuan unleashed his domain, beginning to envelop the entire secret realm. Zhong Yingxiu set up a spiritual energy array, channeling spiritual energy into the domain. Countless talismans flew through the air as Xia Mengqi and Qiao Qingzi entered the illusions of others, waking up even more people.
Xie Wanning, on the other hand, had some free time. She originally wanted to go with Qiao Qingzi and the others to other people's illusions, but unexpectedly, almost everyone's illusion rejected her.
"Why? Do all these people think of me as some heinous villain? They used to point fingers at me, but now they're afraid of me," Xie Wanning said with dissatisfaction.
"Junior Sister Xie, after all, you were really scary when you were Xu Weilin. The Luo Ze Sword could hit anything you pointed at, so these disciples must be afraid of you." Qiao Qingzi expressed her guess.
Xie Wan Ning stomped her foot in anger, but then she heard Xia Meng Qi say, "Why don't you go to your two junior brothers' illusions? Aren't they afraid of you?"
“No, I wish they would be killed by their inner demons right now. Why should I go and help them?” Xie Wanning refused.
“No, you can take this opportunity to kill them,” Xia Mengqi suggested.
"Good idea." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xie Wanning's eyes.
She stepped towards the illusion created by Song Huai'an and Jiang Ci, but was blocked from entering.
"It seems your junior brothers are all afraid of you," Xia Mengqi said with a gloating smile.
Xie Wanning angrily banged on Song Huai'an's illusion.
"How about I help you?"
"No need, I'd rather do this myself." Xie Wanning's gaze darkened slightly as she began to make her own plans.
Xia Mengqi didn't say much, but instead went to other illusions to rescue people.
However, Qiao Qingzi and Xia Mengqi's task was not difficult. Almost all the personal disciples were able to overcome their inner demons; after all, being a personal disciple wasn't for nothing.
More and more people left the illusion, channeling their spiritual energy into the domain and gradually devouring the secret realm.
"How could we possibly die here!"
"That's right, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion won't defeat us."
"We will definitely get out!"
The disciples, united in purpose, fought valiantly against the divine power's restraints and actually devoured the entire secret realm.
The secret realm shattered, allowing all disciples to emerge from it.
"Thank goodness, we're still alive."
"Just tell me that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion can't hold us back."
"Let's go settle accounts with Sect Leader Liu."
……
Everyone headed towards the Heavenly Mystery Hall.
however.
"boom!"
Everyone looked toward the source of the sound, and were all stunned and unable to move.
The Tower of Destiny has collapsed!
Xie Wanning only felt a black figure pass by her. Si Jinchuan flew towards the direction of the Heavenly Fate Tower in an instant, like a sword drawn from a bow.
Xie Wanning followed closely behind.
Si Jinchuan arrived at the Heavenly Fate Tower and explored the surrounding spiritual energy, but he could not detect Liu Zetao's spiritual energy.
"What's wrong? Did you come to rescue Sect Leader Liu?" Xie Wanning jumped off the Luoze Sword and looked at the Destiny Tower, which had become a ruin. Inside, there were several broken statues of gods, and dust was floating in the air.
"No, I'm here to kill him, he must die!" A boundless killing intent appeared in Si Jinchuan's eyes, and a murderous aura emanated from his body.
"Wake up, don't let your inner demons control you," Xie Wanning advised.
But Si Jinchuan kept his head down and didn't say a word.
He recalled that the night before the secret realm, Liu Zetao had tested him repeatedly, even daring to ask him about the secret realm.
He should have guessed back then that Liu Zetao's audacity stemmed from finding a better backer.
Liu Zetao's divination skills are on par with Qin Muyang's; he must know about that matter.
Thinking of this, Si Jinchuan's brows furrowed tightly, as if twisted into a pretzel, his eyes filled with anxiety. His breathing was rapid, each exhale seeming to vent his inner turmoil. Suddenly, he stomped heavily on the ground and shouted, "Damn it!"
Xie Wanning shuddered in fright, but seeing the increasingly dense demonic energy surrounding Si Jinchuan, she knew that Si Jinchuan was about to lose control of his emotions.
"Si Jinchuan, wake up! Don't let your inner demons control you!" Xie Wanning stood in front of Si Jinchuan and called out urgently.
Suddenly, Si Jinchuan reached out and grabbed Xie Wanning's shoulder. He whispered, "What do we do? We're going to be discovered again. Heaven will definitely know my identity, and then we're finished."
Xie Wanning guessed that Si Jinchuan was afraid that his identity as the leader of the Black Market Pavilion and the leader of the Shadow Pavilion would be exposed, which was why he was so afraid.
Xie Wanning could only comfort her, "It's alright, there will be a way."
However, Si Jinchuan wouldn't listen, muttering to himself, "What to do, what to do..."
Xie Wanning felt pain in her shoulder from being gripped, and she frowned and said, "Si Jinchuan, let go first."
"How to do how to do……"
Xie Wanning tried to break free, but she felt that Si Jinchuan was incredibly strong, and his desperate look made her feel scared.
"Let go..."
But there was no response.
Xie Wanning's gaze suddenly darkened, and she raised her hand.
"Snapped!"
He slapped her hard across the face.
"Let go, didn't you hear me?" Xie Wanning said coldly.
Si Jinchuan stood there, stunned.
Xie Wanning sneered, "You only know how to get impulsive when faced with problems. What you're doing is exactly what Heaven wants, you fool!"
After taking a deep breath, Xie Wanning looked at her hands in disbelief.
What did she just do?
Looking up, she saw Si Jinchuan, who had regained his senses. His eyes no longer held despair, but rather...excitement?
