Chapter 1911 They've fallen into their trap
Mingchuan nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
Chu Huai was not blinded by the sudden power he gained; he immediately and calmly analyzed the pros and cons of the situation.
This is indeed the kind of decision-maker they need most right now.
“Therefore, we cannot proactively reveal all our cards.” Mingchuan pondered for a moment, “but we also cannot do nothing.”
He looked at the two points of light in the projection that remained motionless. "They're standing there, observing and probing. They're unsure of the authenticity of the ruins, what we've gained, and whether a direct assault is worthwhile."
"The longer this fragile standoff drags on, the more advantageous it is for us."
Lin Ruowei astutely asked, "Are you trying to create the illusion that 'we're also having a tough time, but we just managed to get in by luck'?"
“Yes.” Mingchuan’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Let them mistakenly believe that we are merely clinging to life by relying on the remaining power of the ruins’ restrictions, desperately searching for an escape route, and have no ability to counterattack.”
“They will be even more determined to stay outside, waiting for us to make a mistake, or for the restrictions on the ruins to weaken on their own.”
"And during this time—"
He looked at Chu Huai, "This is the key window for us to digest the inheritance, restore our combat strength, and find other ways out."
Chu Huai understood and immediately began to operate.
A moment later, the light of the normally stable expulsion barrier at the edge of the ruins suddenly began to dim and flicker at a visible speed, as if its energy was unstable and it was about to collapse.
At the same time, a rapid, chaotic fluctuation of spiritual energy emanated from the direction of the palace where Wan Chuanzong was hiding.
That was a communication signal that Ah Xiong deliberately released, which was accidentally exposed, as instructed by Ming Chuan.
"They've fallen for their trap," Mu Yaoyao said softly, staring at the two red dots on the projection.
The Ascetic Boat and the Moonlit Shuttle moved slightly forward almost simultaneously the moment they observed the disturbance in the restrictions of the ruins.
But then, in the next instant, they all stopped.
No one wants to be the first stepping stone into the forbidden zone.
“Not enough.” Mingchuan’s eyes were sharp. “They’re still observing. We need to add fuel to the fire.”
He turned to Chu Huai: "Inside the Xuan Shui Abyss, are there any... fake exits that look like escape routes but are actually dead ends, or that can teleport people to a very far place and then collapse?"
Chu Huai closed his eyes to search for the information inherited within the Cangming Token. After a moment, he opened his eyes, a strange look in them:
"Have."
"Back then, in order to prevent the core secrets from falling into enemy hands after the ruins were breached, Senior Cangming designed three decoy teleportation arrays."
"Once activated, it will generate strong directional teleportation fluctuations, seemingly leading to a safe location. However, the actual landing point... is an extremely dangerous remnant area of the Ruins Erosion deep within the Chaotic Void Sea."
He paused, then continued, "Back then, Senior Cangming personally sent three Void Beasts that were trying to conquer Xuan Shui Yuan there. They never came out again."
Mingchuan remained silent for two seconds.
"Use this one."
“Give Yueyao and the Jimie Zen Temple a big gift each.”
Chu Huai did not hesitate.
He closed his eyes, and the blue light flowed around the Cangming mark between his brows.
A moment later, the projection showed that the energy readings of two hidden nodes at the edge of the ruins were rapidly increasing.
Those were two decoy teleportation arrays that had been sealed for 70,000 years, and they were being reawakened.
hum-
Above the ruins, two dazzling silver teleportation beams shot into the sky almost simultaneously!
Within the beam of light, clearly visible and stable spatial coordinate information radiates outwards without any defense, as if it were an escape route hastily opened by the owner of the ruins, without even having time to encrypt it!
"What is that?!" Yue Wuhen blurted out.
Yueyao stood at the bow of the Moonlit Shuttle, staring at the two dazzling pillars of light, her eyes flashing rapidly.
Teleportation array!
Moreover, it's a high-level teleportation array that's directional and leads to unknown coordinates!
Did the Wan Chuan Sect find a way to escape?!
She almost immediately ordered a full-speed charge to forcibly sever the teleportation portal—
But at the last moment, she managed to hold back.
wrong.
What a coincidence!
The restrictions weakened just as they were about to be released, and the escape route opened up right before their eyes.
Moreover, they opened two courses right away, as if they were prepared specifically for them.
This is bait.
She took a deep breath, a cold sneer flashing in her eyes: "A mere trifle."
But the next second, Yue Wuhen beside her suddenly exclaimed, "Fairy! The Bitter Journey Boat—"
Yueyao suddenly turned her head and saw that the enormous, dark golden vessel, without any hesitation, like a hungry wolf that had smelled blood, accelerated and rushed straight toward one of the silver beams of light!
"Idiot!" Yueyao gritted her teeth.
But then she realized something, and her expression changed drastically.
It's not stupidity.
The Jimie Zen Monastery has never been a fool.
They were in too much of a hurry.
Yueyao didn't know what the Silent Zen Temple had lost in the Chaotic Void Sea, but the fact that the master of the Maha Abbot, the unfathomable Ascetic Venerable, personally came down from the mountain to hunt down the Wanchuan Sect showed that the Order Token was far more valuable to them than she had imagined.
They can't wait any longer, and they can't afford to gamble anymore.
So even if you know it's bait, you still have to take a bite—
The gamble is that the owner of the ruins won't have enough time to add enough lethality to the bait!
Sure enough, the moment the ascetic boat rushed into the silver pillar of light, the entire giant ship shook violently, and the twisted Buddhist scripture reliefs on the surface of the ship suddenly burst out with a dazzling dark golden light, as if it had activated all its defenses in advance!
The forbidden attack from the ruins arrived as expected.
Countless deep blue Xuan Shui sword lights shot out from all directions, each containing the terrifying power of a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
But the dark gold shield of the Ascetic Boat flickered violently, managing to withstand the first volley of fire!
The withered old monk at the bow formed a hand seal, and dark golden annihilation Buddhist fire surged out like a tsunami, colliding with and annihilating the sword light, forcibly opening a stable channel in the teleportation beam!
"Venerable One, we've succeeded!" a hermit shouted with ecstasy.
The teleportation array's pulling force has begun to tug at the treacherous boat, proof that it leads to the path of survival!
However, just as the entire pilgrimage boat was about to be submerged in the pillar of light—
The gaunt old monk at the bow of the ship suddenly looked up.
For the first time, his deep-set, dark golden pupils wavered.
"……wrong."
"This is not a way out."
"This is... the aura of the Ruins..."
Before the words were even finished, the silver beam of light suddenly changed color!
The dazzling silver-white was as if it had been soaked in ink, and in an instant it turned into a deathly, all-consuming gray-black!
Inside the pillar of light, the seemingly stable spatial coordinate information peeled away and dissipated like faded murals, revealing the true landmarks below.
A coordinate marked in ancient immortal script as "the remaining area of the Ruins of Return, extremely dangerous, with no way out once you enter".
"No--!!"
Several shrill, angry roars echoed from inside the ascetic boat.
But it was too late.
The gray-black teleportation beam, like the gaping maw of a glutton, suddenly contracted, swallowing the entire penitent boat and the dozens of penitents on board in one gulp!
