Chapter 602: The Collapse of the Temple of Earth
Chapter 602: The Collapse of the Temple of Earth
Ye Lan quickly realized that this was a corpse-raising formation set up by the man. The formation contained his aura, so the points related to her memory would be connected together.
From childhood to adulthood, there are men at almost every important stage in life.
Or rather, he was the one who made all of this happen.
In order to ensure that the fate of the exercise was not disrupted and all plans went smoothly, the other party had been watching her for the past twenty years.
During those years of traveling, she shuttled through battlefields littered with corpses to save people, and he followed leisurely behind her.
While she was mediating wars between countries and using her medical skills and tactics to impress at meetings, he was listening quietly outside the building's walls.
Even when he was dealing with the King of Ten Thousand Demons in the ancient pagoda, he had arranged in advance for the pharmacist to visit him.
Unfortunately, despite his full planning and careful planning, he did not expect that Ye Lan would self-destruct during the battle.
When she blew herself up, the man was always cynical, and for the first time the smile disappeared from his strategist's face. When he flashed to her side, he found that apart from the corpses all over the ground, he couldn't even detect her soul.
"Impossible, how could this happen..." The man searched around but found nothing. He calculated with his fingers and found that he couldn't even calculate her horoscope. He immediately lost control of his emotions and almost killed everyone present.
Fortunately, the medical immortal arrived in time, and he had to leave in order not to expose his identity.
But the person he had trained for more than 20 years was gone, so the man naturally refused to give up. He began to unite external forces to investigate the ancient martial arts world, wanting to tear the entire Xuan Sect apart and search for Ye Lan's trace even if it meant digging three feet underground.
This is the mastermind who has been trying to invade Xuanzong after Ye Lan's death.
This game of chess has been played for a thousand years, and now the time has come for the corpse-raising formation to be ripe. The right time, right place, and right people are all there, and all that’s missing is her soul returning.
After figuring out the whole story, Ye Lan suddenly found it inexplicably funny. He thought that if his soul dissipated and his thousand-year-old self could not wake up smoothly, it would be the best revenge on the man.
But this thought only lasted for a moment. She would never punish herself with the mistakes of others, so when the evil spirit surrounded her, she seized the opportunity and searched for her own fragments while enduring the pain of her soul burning.
When her shattered self was pieced back together bit by bit, her soul finally regained strength, and she returned to the center of the formation and came in front of the woman.
The other party was still sleeping, the magma underneath was rolling, the rich colors weaving into a magnificent picture, covering the sky and the earth and making it almost impossible to see the situation below.
But Ye Lan knew that after so much time had passed, Lei Ze must have succeeded.
The problem of the earth and fire has been solved, and all that remains is her own belonging.
And it seemed that she had no choice but to return.
"Hey."
After sighing softly, she smiled helplessly, closed her eyes, relaxed her limbs, and let herself sink until she completely merged with the woman's body.
Below the Altar of Ditan, the space began to vibrate, and the mottled coated metal around it suddenly faded, revealing the fiery red magma itself.
Everyone looked up and saw that the orange-gold liquid was flowing at a crazy speed. Under the high temperature friction, even the crystal wall began to smoke and cracks appeared.
"It seems that the great god Lei Ze has calmed the eruption of the volcano."
We have finally won a victory after fighting for so long, which is good news for everyone.
However, no one could laugh at this moment.
Because they had just witnessed Ye Lan's body being melted, and his life or death was still unknown.
"We should retreat. We can't hold on here any longer." Caroline and Ada, who came along with them, looked at the entire fiery passage with fear, especially when smoke started to rise from the ground. The high temperature made them feel like the soles of their feet were about to be burned through.
The elders knew very well that this place was about to collapse.
The world's volcanoes have been suppressed, the underground fire has all flowed back, and with the activation of the corpse-raising formation, Ditan Park is now like a pressure cooker that will soon explode.
But none of them moved.
Because, "The clan leader hasn't woken up yet." Nan Xu stared upwards and insisted, "Wait a little longer."
Just wait a little longer.
Time passed bit by bit, and even the monsters in the dark river began to roar, scrambling to climb out and flee in the boiling demonic energy. The scorching temperature around them almost steamed people, and the oxygen became thinner and thinner.
"Senior Sister." In the end, Lian Cheng took a step forward and put his arm around Nan Xu's shoulder, saying in a hoarse voice, "Let's go."
Nan Xu staggered a step. The melted shoes on her feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pulling her body and making her unwilling to leave.
"I won't leave." Qing Teng, the youngest junior brother, raised his hand and wiped his face, his eyes red as he said, "If you want to leave, go ahead. I want to stay here and wait for the clan leader."
Patriarch.
These two words hurt almost everyone present.
Lian Cheng's eyes quickly turned red. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to turn around. He gave the order in a deep voice, "Retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Nanxu with one hand and Qingteng with the other, and tiptoed quickly towards the cave entrance they came from.
Three seconds after leaving, the crystal wall exploded completely, and magma poured down like sea water. Qing Teng looked at the Altar of Earth and the corpse-raising array submerged in it, and it completely collapsed.
"Clan leader!!"
Rumble.
This abandoned luxurious church standing on the outskirts of Xidian collapsed with a loud bang, and a burst of flames and magma exploded from it, shocking all those who were observing the volcano.
However, the strange thing is that the magma did not spread to other areas. Instead, it seemed as if it was blocked in a cubic body. The magma surged out layer by layer, quickly turning into volcanic rock, forming a black pillar towering into the sky.
In an empty square not far away, the elders all collapsed to the ground exhausted. Lian Cheng, who was in charge of setting up the barrier, tilted his head and vomited blood, obviously suffering internal injuries from the huge impact of the magma.
At that moment, Ada and Caroline, who were brought out, hurried forward and took out the medicine that Ye Lan had prepared in advance and gave it to him to take.
Before setting off, Ye Lan anticipated that their fighting ability was not good and they probably wouldn't be able to attract firepower, so he gave most of the pills refined by the Sacrifice Cauldron to them for safekeeping in case of emergency.
Seeing the pill now, Lian Cheng pulled the corners of his mouth weakly, revealing a smile uglier than crying. When he raised his head to swallow the pill, he felt bitter in his mouth and almost wanted to cry.
The little girl they watched grow up, who always cared about the sect and was as meticulous as a hair, was the pride of everyone in Xuanzong, but she will never come back.
The square was desolate and lonely after all the people had been evacuated.
The others looked up, staring blankly at Optimus Prime who was still emitting hot air not far away.
The woman was still unconscious when the underground passage exploded.
There is a high probability that they were buried together under volcanic rocks.
I don’t know who couldn’t hold back his tears and was the first one to bury his head in tears. Then the others followed suit and cried loudly with their mouths wide open.
It is said that people who have lived for hundreds of years should take everything lightly, and people who practice cultivation should get through the worldly affairs and take life and death lightly, but those are all bullshit.
God knows how much they loved the child who lived at the foot of the mountain. They watched her grow up from babbling to toddling. Everyone had held her in their arms and couldn't let her go. Whoever tried to grab her would be the one to hold her.
The years of watching her grow up day by day were the happiest times they had not experienced in the past hundreds of years.
