Chapter 157: A Huge Crisis

Feeling the chaotic laws.

Dong Xingchang was extremely anxious. This space was the main eye of the formation; once it was destroyed, it would truly be over.

“Ahhhh!”

Stimulated by this, Dong Xingchang’s immortal soul twisted in pain as he roared in rage.

After a moment, seeing the blood mist intensifying, Dong Xingchang had no choice but to cease his efforts and retreat immediately.

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”

With a skeletal appearance, Dong Xingchang’s eyes dripped with blood from his hatred.

Lin Xian had already sensed some abnormalities and hurried over to check the situation.

“Master, please calm down! What exactly happened to make you so angry?”

Seeing Dong Xingchang’s terrifying face, Lin Xian couldn’t help but feel a pang of fear.

Swish!

Dong Xingchang suddenly vanished and grabbed Lin Xian by the throat with his dried claw, a strong killing intent emanating from him as he rasped, “It’s all your fault, you useless waste! It’s all your fault!”

In this alien world, Lin Xian was no match for Dong Xingchang. Suddenly being choked, Lin Xian was extremely frightened.

“Mas-Master, please calm down… I-I know I was wrong…”

Lin Xian had no idea what had happened, but with his life on the line, he could only admit his fault and beg for mercy.

Seeing Lin Xian’s seven orifices bleeding, Dong Xingchang finally calmed down a bit. He released his grip, speaking harshly, “You useless waste! You actually brought that demonic bandit into the great formation and ruined my plan! Do you think you should live?”

Lin Xian’s whole body stiffened as if he had fallen into an ice cavern.

So, someone from the Purple Cloud Demon Sect had infiltrated the formation!

It was over!

In a moment of realization, Lin Xian quickly asked, “Master, where is that demonic bandit now? I will kill him even if it costs me my life!”

“Kill him?” Dong Xingchang’s wrinkled face twitched as he shouted, “Those bandits clearly came prepared, using an Alien Immortal-grade treasure for defense. Even I cannot deal with them, what makes you think you can kill them?!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian seized the key point and quickly replied, “Master, since that bandit is hiding inside the bell and afraid to come out, our top priority should be to find a substitute. We need to stabilize the formation first and then deal with them slowly!”

After Lin Xian said this, Dong Xingchang indeed calmed down much more.

He trembled as he held Lin Xian’s shoulder, “Disciple, you speak well. It’s my fault for getting too excited and losing my composure. Quickly, mobilize everyone in the immortal mansion to search for that Alien Immortal and Alien Soul! We must find them as soon as possible!”

Lin Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed, “Rest assured, Master. If I can’t find anyone in the immortal mansion, I will go to the aristocratic families and forcibly recruit them, and bring people back for you!”

At this critical moment, Lin Xian could no longer afford to hesitate. Even if it exposed him, he had to get this done.

Otherwise, if the plan for the Immortal King’s revival failed, he would be done for, not only unable to leverage the Immortal King’s power for development, but also losing his life.

Because when he first became a disciple, he had entrusted his life and death to Dong Xingchang to be managed with secret techniques!

“Good disciple, I rely entirely on you. Once our King revives, I will remember your contribution.”

Dong Xingchang had cultivated in this alien world for thousands of years, but due to some changes, his realm in the immortal realm had long since degenerated, making it impossible for him to act personally. Thus, he relied all his hopes on Lin Xian.

“Master, take good care of yourself. I shall go now!”

With that, Lin Xian cupped his hands and vanished from the alien world.

Upon returning to the immortal mansion, Lin Xian immediately gathered his trusted elders and powerful disciples, using a secret technique to conceal everyone’s presence before taking the teleportation array to leave.

He had three targets this time: the other two immortal mansions and the Wang Family.

Only these three peer-level forces’ disciples were ones he had never sought to recruit. The reason was simple; these three families were on par with the immortal mansion, and they had no reason to allow him to recruit their disciples.

Moreover, to avoid complications, Lin Xian had never attempted to act on suspicions regarding any suitable disciples from these three families.

But now, he had no choice.

“Grand Young Master, where shall we go first?”

“To the Wang Family!” Lin Xian’s expression darkened as he said, “The Wang Family has several huge purple crystal mines. Aside from kidnapping people, we can also pull off a big haul and create the illusion of an extraterrestrial bandit raid for the purple crystals.”

Upon hearing this, one of the trusted elders said, “Grand Young Master, in my opinion, we should hide and wait, secretly searching for suitable candidates and abducting them to avoid complications.”

Lin Xian maintained a stern expression and scolded, “This situation is urgent; we don’t have that much time to hide and wait. We should impersonate bandits and catch the Wang Family off guard, causing chaos. Once a disturbance arises, they’ll be forced to act, and we can easily identify anyone who meets the criteria!”

Hearing this, the others said nothing further.

While this approach was risky, it was fast!

…

Inside the crystallization space.

With Dong Xingchang’s retreat, Zhong Li was finally able to breathe.

“If that old bastard attacks the bell for another half hour, I won’t be able to hold on!”

Zhong Li wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and whispered.

However, in her years away from her sect, what kind of fierce storms had she not seen?

Just like when she encountered Chen Ansheng, she was injured by a peak mysterious immortal expert, using all her means just to escape the sacred land.

Such dangerous situations had long since become routine for her.

“I wonder if that dull-witted fellow can escape this disaster.”

Looking at Chen Ansheng, who was completely immersed in his cultivation, Zhong Li felt an inexplicable worry blooming in her heart.

“Why am I worrying about him? That stupid fool… It must be due to my protective instincts.”

In Zhong Li’s life experiences, she had never felt concerned for another’s life before.

Little Master, this chapter still has more to go, please click the next page to continue reading; the following content is even more exciting!

Although she was desperately denying it in her heart, her subconscious recognized that this deep-seated worry seemed unrelated to her protective instincts.

“Phew, Zhong Li, what are you thinking? Hurry up and cultivate! Your own life is the most important. Why worry about others?”

Zhong Li shook her head, a voice in her heart gently reminding her.

Then, she closed her eyes and prepared to enter cultivation.

This time, however, her mind was far from calm, and she was unable to enter that self-forgetful state no matter what.

Two hours later, five days had passed in the outside world.

During this time, a monumental event occurred that all major forces were aware of—the Wang Family had been robbed of their purple crystal treasury by a group of unidentified bandits, and several hundred family disciples were slaughtered, suffering severe losses.

In the alien world, eighteen Wang Family disciples were forcibly subdued using magical methods and taken to this place.

“Master, to prevent further mishaps, I’ve brought back eighteen Alien Soul and Alien Body individuals!”

“Good, good, good! Quickly send them in. Once the formation stabilizes, I will ensure that those demonic bandits meet with a soul-shattering end!”

Then, Lin Xian sent the one with the strongest soul power among the alien souls into the first-tier space.

With the addition of this “fresh blood,” the chaotic laws within the space gradually calmed down, and the merging formation finally operated smoothly.

“Master, should we wait for those bandits to come out or launch a strong attack?”

In front of the black bell, Lin Xian asked respectfully.

“Hmph.” Dong Xingchang’s killing intent was palpable as he said, “Now that the formation is stable, there is no need to force an attack. Once I use secret techniques to cut away the small space where this ancient bell is located, within a month, those two bandits will find it impossible to escape!”
