Chapter 280 : Chapter 280
Chapter 280: The Truth!
【You see a familiar hand. That hand has pierced through your chest, and a heart is clenched in its grasp.】
【You see that the hand is holding a heart that is still beating fiercely.】
【At the same time, Chen Shu’s despairing shout comes from behind you.】
【You slowly turn your head and discover that the owner of the hand holding your heart is actually Zi You, whose hair has turned completely white.】
【At this moment, the expression on Zi You’s face has changed completely. It has gone from the familiar look you know to one as twisted and deranged as the Bizarre Insect Ancestor’s.】
【At this moment, there is a BOOM inside your mind, as if everything has exploded.】
【In an instant, you seem to understand something. You quickly turn your gaze toward the source of the voice just now, as if wanting to confirm something.】
【You see Chen Shu not far away, staring at you with a face full of terror. Then your gaze sweeps elsewhere, and you see the familiar Xuanyuan Tianji among the crowd.】
【At this moment, you suddenly discover that everyone who had fallen unconscious just now has actually awakened.】
【Among these people, only Chen Shu’s and Xuanyuan Tianji’s eyes feel familiar to you. Aside from them, only Ye Chuxue remains unconscious.】
【“Hahahaha!”】
【“So that is how it is. I finally know. I know what your method is!”】
【Before your words fully fall, you turn your head and look at that face filled with mockery and distortion.】
【With a bang, you strike the Zi You before you with your palm, sending her flying several hundred meters away.】
【You can feel your vitality draining away rapidly.】
【Ding!】
【Near-Death State detected!】
【Priority trigger skill—Dragonkin Undying!】
【Fatal damage is being repaired!】
【All your attributes have doubled!】
【As a mechanical voice rings out, the injuries on your body recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.】
【Ding!】
【Fatal Crisis detected!】
【Emergency trigger Unique Skill—Protection of Destiny!】
【Protection of Destiny: forcibly preserves a trace of vitality and teleports you to a Random Safe Location!】
【After hearing that Protection of Destiny is about to activate, you immediately send a Voice Transmission to Chen Shu, who is closest to you.】
【SWOOSH!】
【In the next second, your figure disappears from Haotian Holy Land.】
【The Bizarre Insect Ancestor stares blankly at the place where you vanished. After being stunned for a long while, it lets out an enraged roar.】
【Under the Bizarre Insect Ancestor’s fury, the entire Haotian Holy Land is destroyed.】
【And while the Bizarre Insect Ancestor is raging, Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji quietly leave with Ye Chuxue.】
【During this time, Zi You, Zhuge Qing, and the others try to stop them, but they are all forced back one by one by Xuanyuan Tianji.】
【In the instant before you disappeared, Chen Shu received your Voice Transmission.】
【You told Chen Shu to immediately take Ye Chuxue, then head to Huangzhou together with Xuanyuan Tianji to find the Black King and wait for your arrival.】
【After you finished resolving the three great continents, the Black King returned to Huangzhou. You did not let him participate in the battle against the Holy Lands.】
【When Chen Shu first heard your words, she had no idea what you meant.】
【However, after Chen Shu saw you suddenly disappear, she immediately understood. She carried Ye Chuxue on her back and told Xuanyuan Tianji what you had said.】
...
On the Deserted Island in the Endless Sea.
Su Ming stared blankly at the contents on the simulator.
After seeing that he had used Protection of Destiny to leave Haotian Holy Land, Su Ming drew in a deep breath.
“I never expected it to be like this!”
The moment his words fell, Su Ming looked toward his own Dantian.
To be honest, Su Ming had truly never imagined that the Bizarre Insect Ancestor would possess such a method. It could actually control the Bizarre Insects inside their bodies and forcibly make them possess their bodies.
Although the simulation had not ended yet, through the text just now, he had already guessed a few things.
When everyone fell unconscious, then after awakening again, Zi You coldly attacked him, he knew that the Bizarre Insect Ancestor’s method was to activate the Bizarre Insects inside their bodies.
And the reason Su Ming became even more certain of this was that, in the simulation, his final gaze had turned toward Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji.
Among everyone, only Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji still remained rational. This meant that they had not been possessed by the Bizarre Insects.
The reason the two of them had not been possessed was because there were no Bizarre Insects inside their bodies at all.
Chen Shu came from the Qingxuan Realm, which was ruled by the Eldritch Race. The Eldritch Race only favored Blood Prey.
As for Xuanyuan Tianji, there was even less need to mention her. She came from the Weiyang Immortal Domain and had been sealed inside an Immortal Source. Ever since she broke through the seal, she had always rejected the Spiritual Qi of the Canglan Realm, so there was no issue of her being contaminated by Bizarre Insects either.
“This is difficult...”
When Su Ming thought of the previous simulation, in which the Bizarre Insect Ancestor had silently activated the Bizarre Insect inside his body and directly possessed him, his brows furrowed.
Moreover, this kind of possession could not trigger Protection of Destiny. It was possession from the inside out. Even if Protection of Destiny brought him to a safe location, it still could not be avoided.
At present, as long as they were living beings of the Canglan Realm, none of them could possibly be a match for the Bizarre Insect Ancestor.
Only Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji could ignore the Bizarre Insects’ possession.
“Could it be that I have to rely on Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji?”
The more Su Ming thought about it, the tighter his brows furrowed.
“No...”
Su Ming suddenly thought of one more person.
Ye Chuxue!
At the very last moment just now, Su Ming had told Chen Shu to take Ye Chuxue away. Clearly, Ye Chuxue might not have been possessed.
Thinking of this, Su Ming continued looking at the simulator.
He was very curious about Ye Chuxue’s final outcome.
One had to know that even he could not resist the Bizarre Insect Ancestor’s possession. How exactly had Ye Chuxue done it? Or perhaps, in the end, Ye Chuxue had also failed.
【Qingzhou!】
【Qin Kingdom!】
【Protection of Destiny brings you to the Qin Kingdom within Qingzhou.】
【After seeing the scene of the Qin Kingdom, you cannot help falling into your memories.】
【Back then, in a Small Courtyard somewhere in the Qin Kingdom, there were traces of the life you and Ye Chuxue once lived together. It was also here that you encountered the Son of Destiny, Lin Qi, which ultimately led to the contamination of the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.】
【Dragging your weakened body, you find the Small Courtyard from your memories.】
【The current Qin Kingdom has already been cleansed by you, so there is no need to worry about being ambushed by Bizarre Insects.】
【After entering the Small Courtyard, you begin secluded cultivation.】
【Although Dragonkin Undying preserved your life, it caused your body to fall into an extremely weakened state. This weakness is not something the True Dragon Treasure Body can restore.】
【One month later!】
【A little color finally returns to your pale face.】
【At the same time, you receive bad news. Two days ago, Jiang Yang had already led the Bizarre Insects back to Qingzhou and begun rebuilding Qingyun Sect.】
【The current Jiang Yang is no longer your Senior Brother from the Sword Pavilion, but a Bizarre Insect.】
【After receiving this news, you do not plan to act against Jiang Yang for the time being.】
【And the reason you do not act is very simple. You are not certain whether Jiang Yang has a method to summon the Bizarre Insect Ancestor.】
【The Bizarre Insect Ancestor knows your strength very well. It knows that everyone from the Sword Pavilion is no match for you, so you judge that it must have left behind a backup plan.】
