168: I only want one person!

Pfft!

Watching these people vomit blood.

A trace of ferocity actually appeared on Ci Du's originally compassionate face.

"It's not over yet!"

He clasped his hands together.

The prayer beads above the Formation began to emit dazzling Buddhist light.

In an instant, Chen Xian and the others all felt dizzy for a moment.

"Although the Black Tortoise Grand Formation's defensive power is considered top-notch, this version that doesn't block sound and light has an Innate flaw. I truly wonder which foolish person arranged it!"

Ci Du said mockingly.

Precisely because this Black Tortoise Grand Formation doesn't block light and sound.

He had remained unhurried all along.

Even if this was a turtle shell, he had a hundred ways to force them out.

However, now that a Quasi-Saint was about to arrive, he had to force these people out to complete the conversion!

Otherwise, his hope of ascending to Immortal Emperor would be like trying to see the moon in water!

Yet, a casual remark from Ci Du.

Made someone in the Thirty-Third Heaven snort coldly.

"This Saint is a foolish person?"

He looked at the man painting beside him and sneered.

"Sage of Painting, we Saints cannot interfere in mortal affairs, but that doesn't mean we can't drop something, right?"

The Sage of Painting was taken aback.

He looked at the Sage of Literature in surprise. Why would this usually serious man suddenly say such a thing?

Though curious, he still answered honestly: "That's true. I often paint some mountains and rivers and drop them down!"

"Consider it adding some natural scenery to our Ascension land!"

"Then how about helping me add a mountain?"

The Sage of Painting excitedly rubbed his hands.

"Great! You, Sage of Literature, never ask for favors. I'll handle this for you today, but I hope you'll bring out something good at the upcoming Treasure Competition in a few days!"

"Naturally!"

A hint of mischief appeared on the Sage of Literature's usually calm face.

At the same time.

Ci Du, leading the crowd, resonated with Sanskrit Sounds.

Coupled with the illumination of Buddhist light.

Had already made Chen Xian and the others feel like grasshoppers in a frying pan.

He firmly believed that before Li Zhen arrived, he could force them all out.

But just then, Ci Du's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

As a Quasi-Saint, while he couldn't predict the future as precisely as a Saint.

He still had some premonitions.

He suddenly looked up.

And saw a massive mountain suddenly falling from the sky.

Boom!

The enormous mountain, carrying boundless momentum, smashed directly onto Ci Du.

Pfft!

This time, the usually composed Ci Du spat blood mid-air.

He hurriedly summoned a Purple-Gold Alms Bowl!

Only then did he block the mountain and protect his true form. Even so, this blow nearly caused him to fall in Realm and perish.

"Damn it, who dares ambush this humble monk?"

Facing this sudden change, Ci Du's previous efforts were all in vain.

And Chen Xian and the others finally caught their breath.

Zhou Duoer, holding the soul lamp, said in surprise: "Could it be that the Old Ancestor has truly manifested?"

Though Chen Xian couldn't explain it clearly, a mountain falling from above and landing right on this old monk.

This matter carried an indescribable sense of eeriness.

Ci Du took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, the Purple-Gold Alms Bowl glowing, while the Buddhist light intensified!

Directly shattering this great mountain.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Ci Du finally lost his composure.

"Just a few more ants like you, and this humble monk could have broken through to become Emperor!"

"Why must you obstruct this humble monk? Wouldn't it be better to peacefully accept my conversion?"

As his rage grew.

The Buddhist light around him gradually began to change color.

"What's happening?"

Zhou Duoer trembled and said: "Why has the golden light on him turned black?"

Chen Xian didn't understand either, but he looked at the Moon Demon.

"Do you know?"

The Moon Demon sighed.

"Obsession too deep ultimately turns one into a demon!"

"Hmm?"

"This old monk has been stuck at the Quasi-Saint Realm for so many years. This obsession has taken deep root. Though he never told anyone he wanted to advance, who doesn't want to break through this shackle?"

"Now, he's practicing some secret technique where converting three thousand people allows a Breakthrough. He's only a few short, and you've held out so long. In his desperation, he's fallen into demonhood."

After the Moon Demon's plain explanation.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

Because earlier, Ci Du at least looked like a venerable monk.

But now, under the black light, his monk's robes appeared incredibly eerie.

Especially with the black energy coiling around him.

Under the black light, Ci Du's face revealed a ferocious smile.

"Now, this humble monk shall send you on your way."

He was about to make a move.

When a voice came from afar.

"They say Ci Du is a highly respected monk recognized across the Five Continents. Who knew he had such a face!"

Ci Du, Chen Xian, and the others all turned toward the source of the voice.

They saw a figure appear in mid-air.

A black dragon robe seemed to already indicate his identity.

"I wondered who it was. So it's the Emperor of Dagan!"

Li Zhen's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Seeing Chen Xian unharmed within the Formation, his anxious heart finally settled.

But when he saw Ci Du before him.

He couldn't help but feel shocked.

Though he already knew Ci Du had ulterior motives for coming to the Shanhai Secret Realm.

Seeing him, and the over two thousand expressionless Prodigies behind him.

Li Zhen realized the severity of the situation.

Facing an enraged Quasi-Saint.

Even Li Zhen didn't want a direct confrontation. He even regretted his earlier mocking words.

Looking at these numb Prodigies behind, he could tell at a glance they were hypnotized.

"Ci Du, regardless of what you're doing here today, I only want one person!"

He pointed at Chen Xian inside the Black Tortoise Grand Formation.

"I only want him. The others, I can leave behind!"

As these words were spoken.

Inside the Formation, Gu Qingcheng and the others turned pale, while Pei Ning and the ten Embroidered Uniform Guards felt their hearts sink.

Though they had already submitted to Chen Xian, Li Zhen ultimately didn't know.

In this situation, Li Zhen only wanted Chen Xian.

To say they weren't disheartened would be a lie.

At this moment, Ci Du said meaningfully: "It seems that boy holds extraordinary significance to you?"

Li Zhen didn't want to waste words with Ci Du.

He repeated: "If you hand that boy over, I guarantee no one will learn of what happened in this Secret Realm."

In his view, losing a few Prodigies from the North Continent.

To seize a Quasi-Saint's secret.

Was simply a sure-profit deal. And he only wanted one person!

Ci Du would surely agree!
