Chapter 905: Plan Failed?
Outside Ye Xishui's stone chamber, a hundred miles away.
Zhongli Wu looked at the familiar mountain peak and quickly reduced its speed, descending towards the ground.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, Ye Xishui would not allow any significant fluctuations in soul power to affect her experiments, not even Zhongli Wu would dare to cross that line.
Even though she was Ye Xishui's son, Ye Xishui never considered herself a mother.
Zhongli Wu took a step that covered dozens of miles, almost running to Ye Xishui's stone chamber, where he quickly knelt on one knee.
"Zhongli Wu pays respects to the Supreme Master!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it used some soul power techniques to transmit into the stone chamber.
After shouting, Zhongli Wu cautiously looked at the stone chamber, while his right hand seemed to be covering his face.
He was afraid of being beaten up.
If you disturb Ye Xishui's experiment or touch her sensitive spots, she will not hesitate to take action.
Zhongliwu didn't want to be chased and hacked by the sickle.
For a moment, the area was unusually quiet.
Zhongli Wu knelt quietly. Sometimes, when he wanted to see Ye Xishui, he might kneel for several days.
But this time, Zhongli Wu didn't have that much patience.
Since it concerns the grand plan of the Holy Spirit Church, he must ensure that there are no problems in every important position.
After much hesitation, Zhongli Wu decided to use the fastest method.
"Mother! Your son requests an audience!"
After saying that, Zhongliwu immediately summoned his martial spirit. In the past, whenever he called Ye Xishui "mother," he would invariably anger her and be beaten up.
Ye Xishui did not acknowledge him because the previous official leader had devised a shocking scheme to control her, while also plotting against prominent figures on the continent at the time.
Zhongli Wu was not clear about the meaning of his life. From childhood, he had never felt the love of his parents and had only grown up with the Holy Church's wet nurse.
As he grew older and his wet nurse passed away, he longed for love again, but Ye Xishui's indifference shattered his self-esteem.
Thus, his desires began to become distorted.
By chance, when he was still quite young, he encountered an evil-eyed tyrant.
Zhongli Wu stopped his wandering thoughts. He realized something was wrong. He had been kneeling for at least half an hour, but the stone chamber was still quiet and without any movement.
"sorrow!"
Zhongli Wu disregarded the consequences of damaging the stone chamber and wielded his scythe to slash at the entrance.
"Buzz!"
A series of restrictions suddenly appeared, and even the ground beneath Zhongli Wu's feet lit up with layers of core magic arrays.
Zhongli Wu dared not hesitate and appeared a thousand miles away in a flash.
After the defensive restrictions of the stone chamber were triggered, the entire area, including the stone chamber, was immediately illuminated by a terrifying red light.
The sound of the device deforming, the soul guide charging, and the mournful howls made Zhongli Wu feel as if he had fallen into a hellish judgment.
The Demon Forest has been controlled by the Evil Eye Tyrant clan for many years. In addition, the Evil Eye Tyrant clan is skilled in mental power, which has led to the Demon Forest being known by the people as the Ghost Forest.
Those who stray into the demon forest either disappear or go mad.
This is one of the reasons why the Holy Spirit Church felt comfortable setting up its headquarters here.
The commotion triggered by Zhongliwu shook the entire Demon Forest, but it was inconspicuous.
The Evil Eye Tyrant has become accustomed to this; as long as it is not threatened, it doesn't care what the Holy Spirit Cult is doing.
Zhongli Wu's eyes hardened, and he forcefully broke in using his cultivation and martial soul characteristics, destroying the defenses one by one.
However, what he ultimately saw was only a stone chamber filled with life but completely empty.
Looking at the scenery before him, Zhongli Wu felt a moment of disorientation.
The stone room is like a charming little villa, complete with pots and pans, rice and oil, sofas and benches—everything you'd expect from a normal life.
Zhongli Wu remembered that the last time he came here was a year ago. At that time, the stone chamber was just a stone chamber, Ye Xishui's private laboratory. Apart from research equipment, there was only a stone bed.
Why have so many changes occurred?
Did Long Xiaoyao really succeed in awakening Ye Xishui's humanity?
No! That's impossible!
He did something that even his son, Zhongliwu, couldn't do!
How could Long Xiaoyao possibly do that!
Zhongli Wu was furious, his anger surging forth, but he dared not wield his scythe.
He was afraid that Ye Xishui would really kill him after she found out he had destroyed the stone chamber.
"Damn it! Long Xiaoyao took Mother away?" Zhongliwu sheathed his scythe and ran quickly toward the research space in the stone chamber.
When Zhongliwu saw the experimental equipment and blueprints scattered all over the ground, but the Death Tower in the very center was nowhere to be seen, he couldn't help but roar in anger.
The Death Tower is the core of the Soul Refining Array. Now that the core is gone, the array cannot be activated.
The Holy Church's plans will be in vain.
"No no no no no no no no no!!!"
Zhongli Wu subconsciously summoned his scythe, ready to destroy everything in front of him.
But a large iron shell piled in the corner trembled from his roar, and its outer cover slid off, revealing a black tower.
"Huh? This is... the Tower of Death?"
Zhong Liwu hurriedly ran forward and examined him carefully. His soul tool level did not inherit Ye Xishui's extraordinary talent, but it was not too weak.
"A test version of the Tower of Death?"
The smaller version of the Black Tower in front of him was an older research version of the Death Tower. Zhong Liwu gritted his teeth and took the Black Tower away.
Perhaps the old version of the Death Tower can also be used as a core.
Unable to find Ye Xishui, he had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
And this matter cannot be told to Xu Tianran.
If Xu Tianran finds out that the plan has gone wrong, the Holy Church might lose the opportunity it has been waiting for for so long.
If the operation cannot proceed, the Evil Eye Tyrant will also blame us.
Before leaving, Zhongli Wu turned back and took a serious look at the stone chamber.
If Long Xiaoyao really takes Ye Xishui away to live a secluded, ordinary life, then the Holy Sect will never be able to find the two of them.
Not to mention that Long Xiaoyao's cultivation level is already among the top in the world and he has many hidden methods, Ye Xishui has been involved in the development of the Holy Sect for many years and knows all about the Holy Sect's methods.
The latest novel is first published here!
Zhongli Wu had always been wary of the power held by Ye Xishui.
But when Ye Xishui actually withdrew from the Holy Spirit Cult and returned the power in her hands, Zhong Liwu was not happy.
His feelings at that moment were extremely complex: relief, anger, and envy.
Should we be happy that our mother finally got what she wanted?
Or should I be angry that I've been abandoned again, just like when I was a child?
Zhongli Wu shook his head, trying to shake all these unnecessary thoughts out of his head.
He flew out of the stone chamber, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and used all his strength to revert the defensive measures that had already been triggered.
Instead of destroying Ye Xishui's stone chamber, he disguised its exterior to make it look more natural.
Goodbye, Mother.
Zhongli Wu hovered in mid-air, muttered something to himself, lingered for a while, and then left.
Sun and Moon Square, the venue for the competition.
Ye Nanxiao was crouching in the waiting area, surrounded by rows of floating ice mirrors. He had set up a simple soul-guided experimental table, and a soul-guided gun that looked a lot like a key was lying on the table.
Various draft diagrams filled with data floated around Ye Nanxiao.
The Tang Clan members were preparing to warm up, while Huo Yuhao and He Caitou kept their eyes on the room next to Jiang Nannan.
To outsiders, there was an empty seat next to Jiang Nannan, but in reality, it was Ye Nanxiao who had activated the Ice Mirror.
"Nanxiao, you're really going all out, all to avoid becoming an idol," Beibei teased with a laugh, rubbing her wrist.
"Actually, I don't think being an idol is so bad. At least you get lots of girls cheering you!" Xu Sanshi said with longing. If conditions allowed, he, the great swordsman Xu, would also like to become an idol who travels the world with a sword!
"Oh? You want to be an idol? Go back and suggest to the Tang Sect's publicity department that you become the ambassador for Tang Sect soul tools. You can travel to multiple cities in four countries from now on!"
Suddenly, Ye Nanxiao's voice came from beside Jiang Nannan.
Xu Sanshi smiled sheepishly and quickly begged for mercy. He had witnessed firsthand how hard the Tang Clan's publicity department worked. Shooting twenty sets of pictures a day would make him want to vomit!
"But actually, Xingluo admires you so much, haven't they thought about holding a research and development meeting there? I feel that our Tang Sect's performance can rise another five percent this year!" Tang Ya's eyes gleamed with golden light.
Ye Nanxiao paused for a moment, then said, "That seems to make sense. Why can't we go against money?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed.
The Tang Clan's leader and deputy leader are both money-grubbers, a big money-grubber and a little money-grubber!
After everyone finished warming up and adjusted their state, three figures arrived at the Tang Clan's waiting area.
"Hmm? Hello beautiful! My name is Xu Sanshi! Who are you looking for?" Xu Sanshi immediately stepped forward when he saw the beautiful woman.
Xu Tianzhen smiled and glanced around the Tang Sect's waiting area, saying, "Hello, my name is Xu Tianzhen, I'm here to see classmate Ye Nanxiao!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone silently stopped what they were doing.
If they remembered correctly, wasn't Xu Tianzhen the little princess of the Sun and Moon Royal Family?
Judging from her previous performances, this little princess of the Sun and Moon is no pushover!
After exchanging quick glances, everyone silently continued with their work; those warming up continued warming up, and those lifting dumbbells continued lifting dumbbells.
However, they were all silently watching Ye Nanxiao's side out of the corner of their eyes.
Ye Nanxiao, who was working, also looked completely bewildered.
Xu Tianzhen? What's this little vixen doing here?
What Xu Tianzhen said next surprised everyone even more.
"Is Ye Nanxiao here? I need to speak with him about a marriage alliance," Xu Tianzhen said politely, then quietly nudged Xu Renjie beside her.
Xu Renjie immediately understood, took a step forward, bowed, and said, "By order of the Great Emperor, Tang Clan's Ye Nanxiao is exceptionally talented and has unparalleled charm. The Emperor intends to offer his most beloved little princess to Ye Nanxiao for joint venture. This is a match made in heaven."
Jiang Nannan rolled her eyes and kicked the person next to her.
When did Xu Tianzhen come from? And why is this fox so popular?
She wasn't angry; she'd just have to ask the fox about it later.
Ye Nanxiao put away his equipment and moved outside the waiting area, pretending to have just returned.
