Chapter 387 Submergence

The transcendent beings participating in the Cleansing Heart Pond trial began to immerse themselves in the guidance of their dreams.

The Grand Elder manipulated the barrier, examining the dreams of each trial participant.

The water in the Cleansing Heart Pond possessed a certain mental pressure, so transcendent beings with weak mental strength simply couldn't enter a dream state... This led to the appearance of the "abstainers" that the adjudicators had spoken of earlier. However, this phenomenon usually occurred among independent cultivators without backing from powerful factions. Their talents were average, and their strength was ordinary.

The trial participants sent by these delegations all had excellent talents.

Soon, they all entered their dreams.

Although tormented by the "Calamity," the Grand Elder would not take advantage of this trial to recklessly distribute his "tainted blood." The reason was simple: these delegations each had their own powerful backgrounds.

Distributing tainted blood...

It was better to leave that to the devout followers of the Guang Ming religion.

Those followers could die without consequence, and he had absolute control over them. If he took the opportunity to spread the Calamity on a large scale and was discovered, it would bring unnecessary trouble to the temple.

So, this time, the Grand Elder's primary target was Song Ci!

He locked his mental focus onto Song Ci... Among this group of people in the Cleansing Heart Pond trial, Song Ci was the strongest, but he was the slowest to enter a dream!

A layer of hazy mist enveloped the sky above Song Ci's spiritual sea.

The Grand Elder had no choice. All he could do at this moment was wait.

...

...

Song Ci felt a very familiar summoning.

He sat by the Cleansing Heart Pond, and as usual, he closed his eyes and entered a state of "oblivion of self and objects."

In the spiritual world, he saw a brilliant golden light.

That golden light was different from the divine radiance in the Dou Zhan Divine Domain.

Just one look at it would make one feel a feverish heat spreading deep within the soul.

Before entering Changye, Song Ci had been plagued by the "Dream of Guang Ming" day and night. In his dream, he would see a huge lake.

He knew that was the legendary Crimson Lake.

The golden light formed a bridge in his dream, guiding him to the other side of the lake's mist... but he had never accepted this invitation.

This time.

The dreams of the past re-凝聚.

Countless golden rays surrounded Song Ci, exuding a heart-shaking power of temptation.

Song Ci looked at the golden bridge, gazed silently for a long time, and finally chose to step onto it.

He didn't care about the temptation emitted by the golden light.

He just wanted to know what was at the end of the Crimson Lake.

The moment he stepped onto the golden bridge, this holy dream full of light suddenly changed color. Countless mists emerged from the far end of the dream, the golden bridge began to shake, and countless tiny black winds blew in.

This was "ominousness."

Song Ci had dealt with this kind of ethereal calamity more than once since he began cultivating.

He had done many things in the underground of the Great Capital that provoked the "Calamity." He knew that he was already entangled by many ominous things. Even if he cultivated quietly in the Dou Zhan Divine Domain, it was only a temporary escape. One day, these calamities would erupt.

But it was too coincidental that it descended at this time?

Song Ci narrowed his eyes. He stared at the end of the golden bridge mist, the golden divine radiance enveloped his body, and he prepared for battle.

Just as he was about to cross the bridge.

The black wind dispersed the mist, and Song Ci saw a tall and old figure standing at the other end of the bridge.

...

...

The wind was strong.

An old alley in Guang Ming City was covered with fallen leaves.

Several [Heavy Armor Servants] arrived at the entrance of the alley. They belonged to the secret prison and only listened to Yao Jin's arrangements.

Even if Su Ye relinquished his power, it only relieved Yao Jin of his control over the Guang Ming Temple Adjudicators.

Su Ye couldn't remove these [Heavy Armor Servants].

They had long received Yao Jin's order to wait outside the alley. After Su Ye pushed Yao Jin into the secret prison, these [Heavy Armor Servants] would appear, directly control the entrance of the alley, and report the "defense" information to the Adjudicator Elder through the spiritual network.

"Lord Yao ordered that after entering the secret prison, we must strictly guard this alley."

The Heavy Armor Servant in charge of the team said, "You two, go outside the alley to set up 'sealed objects,' set up the [Holy Light Barrier], and then carefully patrol!"

There were only five Heavy Armor Servants in this team, but these five were enough to guard the entrance to the secret prison!

Yao Jin's order to them was to keep a close eye on the entrance, prevent anyone from entering the secret prison, and if anyone broke in, not to seek victory, but to transmit intelligence as quickly as possible!

Su Ye's return to seclusion was also part of Yao Jin's plan.

Yao Jin knew from the beginning that his "ascendancy" would not last long. Su Ye would not allow him to stand in the light forever.

Once he came out of seclusion.

He would definitely remove his control over the Adjudicators.

And... he would also go to the secret prison to visit Yuan Yang.

In fact, he could resist. He could forcibly report to the Grand Elder and confront Su Ye... But the result of doing so would be that the Grand Elder would divide the power of this incident into two, half to himself and the other half to Su Ye.

What he wanted was the full power to control the Guang Ming Temple Adjudicators.

Taking half of it away by Su Ye would be a failure, while the temporary loss at this moment was just a necessary path to success.

Su Ye transferred the Night Watchers who were monitoring the Gu family to supervise them. This was not wrong.

But if Guang Ming City was peaceful, then Su Ye's arrangement was correct... But if an accident occurred in Guang Ming City, and this accident was not caused by the Gu family Night Watchers, then Su Ye's arrangement would suffer a backlash.

What Yao Jin had to do was step by step, to bring out this "accident."

Su Ye understood him very well, and he also understood Su Ye very well.

The two had been playing games for many years.

Yao Jin knew every thought of Su Ye, and also knew that Su Ye knew his thoughts... So the real "disguise" was not to disguise.

He really didn't want to see Su Ye enter the secret prison.

But the more he showed his "unwillingness," the stronger Su Ye's desire to forcibly enter the secret prison became.

As he had reminded Su Ye countless times... At this juncture, everything that went wrong after forcibly entering the secret prison would be borne by Su Ye himself.

He had already sent that drawing to the Gu family delegation's mansion.

Yao Jin knew that Gu Nanfeng was watching him all the time.

With the Gu family's young master's personality, he couldn't possibly miss this excellent opportunity... So he had set up this game, waiting for Gu Nanfeng to take the opportunity to rob the prison after Su Ye entered the secret prison.

Two tigers fighting.

The Gu family delegation and the Guang Ming Temple Saint Son would be severely damaged.

As for him... of course there would be some losses, but both Gu Nanfeng and Su Ye were losers.

In the end of this game.

He would win alone.

As for the so-called "幕后人", if he went to the game with the young master of the Gu family, there would only be one word: death.

The Heavy Armor Servant had already notified the Adjudicator Elder.

The Crimson Lake seemed calm, but in fact, murderous intent was surging.

Once the secret prison barrier sounded an alarm, Jia Wei would set off immediately and rush to Guang Ming City. At that time, it would be inescapable, and that person would have no way to escape!

...

...

Countless fallen leaves rose with the wind, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the deep alley!

The Heavy Armor Servants responsible for guarding had completed the deployment of the [Holy Light Barrier], but for some reason, unease appeared in everyone's heart.

Guarding the secret prison for many years, they had seen countless transcendent criminals!

As long as they lit the Guang Huo, they would feel completely at ease in this Guang Ming City.

Guang Ming was the eyes of the divine throne.

But this time...

After lighting the Guang Huo, they still felt anxious.

They seemed to feel countless substantial killing intents sweeping in from the end of the alley, blowing the holy light barrier along with this unreasonable wind, and even the fallen leaves pouring in from all directions became sharp.

"You... go take a look."

The Heavy Armor Guard Captain frowned, nudged his chin, and signaled a subordinate to go check.

He stared solemnly at a dark alley not far away, and at the same time took out the purple silver gun, ready to attack at any time.

The other Heavy Armor Servants were also on guard.

The area covered by the [Holy Light Barrier] was limited. Although the secret prison was safely covered, the direction in which the wind was blowing was dark and deep. The result of mental perception was emptiness.

At this time, they were more willing to believe their own eyes, and the reconnaissance sealed objects given by the temple.

"Clang! Clang!"

The Heavy Armor Servants wore extremely heavy armor, and their walking speed was very slow.

He left the [Holy Light Barrier] and walked towards the direction where the wind came from in the black alley. With each step, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

"Captain."

One person said in a deep voice, "That alley, why does it feel like there's someone there?"

The Heavy Armor Guard Captain raised his hand, signaling him not to say any more.

Everyone's eyes fell on the end of the black alley.

The Heavy Armor Servant walked into the darkness, the scaled armor was submerged in the darkness, and the heavy armor made a crackling sound as it was scraped by the wind!

"Xu Hu, report the situation!"

The Heavy Armor Guard Captain shouted.

"Captain..."

Xu Hu inspected the area, turned around, walked out of the darkness, and said seriously, "Everything is normal here, no abnormalities have been found, it's just a little darker, the wind is a little stronger... I just used the sealed object to investigate, and I didn't detect any transcendent aura."

The Heavy Armor Servants all breathed a sigh of relief.

The Heavy Armor Guard Captain's tone was also a little more relaxed, "Very good, come back."

Just as Xu Hu turned around.

A gale suddenly rose.

Countless fallen leaves at the end of the black alley poured out at this moment.

No one saw that among the thousands of fallen leaves, there was a vague and洒脱 figure, wearing a斗篷 and carrying a wooden knife.

Gu Nanfeng was very fast.

But he was still a little late. When he arrived here, the Heavy Armor Servants had already begun to deploy the [Barrier]. He knew that if he wanted to break into the secret prison, he had to create an excellent opportunity... Breaking the [Barrier], breaking into the prison, and escaping all took time. Once these Heavy Armor Servants joined forces and resisted desperately, although they could be solved, there would inevitably be some trouble.

Once prison robbery started, there was no stop button.

He had to ensure that nothing went wrong...

So, he needed to reduce the number of Heavy Armor Servants first.

And now was the best time!

A pale palm stretched out silently from the darkness, the five fingers were slender and powerful, and the fingertips were surrounded by ear-piercing wind.
