176: Muddy waters, ruined cities, blood sacrifice formations

"No rush," Luo Fan said, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at the token in his palm. "We'll talk once we're inside."

That thing might just become his.

Moreover, he could use the opportunity to stir up a major disturbance in Tianlong Kingdom.

As for the Holy Temple Envoy's threat, Luo Fan didn't take it seriously at all.

Once this place was destroyed, where would the other party find him?

Hmph!

It was ridiculous to tell him not to scheme; how was that possible?

Was he supposed to work for them for free?!

What were these people thinking?

However, they didn't know the relationship between the Miss County Princess and him, so they indeed had the right to threaten him.

It was just a pity that he was from Blue Star!

"Investigate where they plan to go next!"

"Also, gather everyone around you. At this point, there's no need to fear revealing any traces!"

"Once this matter is settled, I'll take all of you away from here."

Luo Fan had long lost any foothold outside, but facing the Miss County Princess and others at this moment, he still spoke with great arrogance!

What if he had no territory?

Once he took the Miss County Princess and the others out, he would still be a Tyrant on Blue Star.

At that time, Shen Mo and the others wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Thinking this, Luo Fan's eyes coldly swept around, and he said to the Miss County Princess, "Go and see what Shen Mo and the others are doing."

"Stir up trouble!"

Let them die here!

Luo Fan's eyes were cold; it would be best if Shen Mo and the others died here.

This way, after he left, he would have no worries!

As he spoke, the Miss County Princess immediately assented.

—

While Luo Fan's voice was cold, in the ruins on the other side.

Elder Chen and the others looked at the majestic city walls and city before them, all full of admiration.

"It really is a ruin city!"

"I didn't expect there to be such a large ruin city here."

"Liang Qifeng and the others didn't lie to us!"

As he spoke, he immediately said to the people around him, "Quick! Set up defenses here; no one is allowed to approach!"

He wanted to thoroughly study the formation of this city of ruins!

Indeed, this city of ruins was enveloped by a huge formation, which at first glance looked like a city of blood.

What was going on?

This city of ruins was actually sealed?

And what was with the formation on it?

At this moment, Elder Chen felt that something was amiss.

If Grand Governor Liang intentionally revealed this formation city to them,

then did he know about this formation on it?

If he knew, why would he let them in?

Elder Chen's gaze surveyed the blood-colored city formation, and then he exclaimed with a start, "This is a blood sacrifice formation!"

"Damn it!"

"What are Liang Qifeng and the others planning?"

And as Elder Chen's voice cried out in alarm, on the other side, where Grand Governor Liang was, a cold, drawn-out voice echoed in his ear, saying, "Liang Qifeng, what are you still doing?!"

"That place has been discovered!"

"You useless fellow, you can't even manage such a simple task of concealment and delay!"

"If anything goes wrong with this matter, you don't need to come back to report!"

"Just die there with them!"

As these words left his mouth, Grand Governor Liang's heart was instantly shaken, and he couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "How is this possible?!"

"How could that place be discovered?"

His words blurted out, heard clearly by Ice Snow Princess.

Instantly, she guessed that Liang Qifeng and the others' scheme had probably gone awry!

In that case, it was even more imperative to keep them here.

"Liang Qifeng, aren't you going to kill me?"

"If so, come on!"

As her words left her mouth, her power instantly erupted, and the white battle armor on her body immediately covered her entire form.

However, both she and Grand Governor Liang had concerns.

This was not the time to alarm the people in the secret realm.

Therefore, although their auras erupted, they deliberately contained them within a certain range. Beyond this range, basically no one could sense the battle here!

—

And while they were fighting with restraint and concealment, on the other side, Shen Mo also ascended the arena for the Tribute Battle.

Tianlong Kingdom's Tribute Battle had already lasted for over a month.

Now it was the final match.

At this moment, most of the imperial family members had arrived.

There were also some people Shen Mo didn't recognize.

The Emperor of Tianlong Kingdom, seated on the throne, looked unwell at the moment, his complexion very pale, with an abnormal flush on his cheeks.

Shen Mo casually glanced twice and discovered that this person's luck, purple tinged with black, was already a sign of impending death.

He hadn't expected the King of Tianlong Kingdom to be in such a state; no wonder Nangong Mingyue and the others almost controlled the entire country's power.

The entire national court was filled with their struggles.

And as Shen Mo was thinking this, Nangong Lingyu and Nangong Mingyue had also arrived at the imperial palace.

Walking with Nangong Mingyue, she felt very depressed.

Although her Second Imperial Sister was powerful and influential,

she hadn't thought of relying on her Second Imperial Sister before!

How did she inexplicably end up on the same side as her Second Imperial Sister!

Nangong Lingyu felt depressed in her heart.

She always felt that something was not right.

Was she indirectly freeloading off Shen Mo?!

This was so frustrating...

Nangong Lingyu shook her head vigorously, dispelling the terrifying thoughts in her mind.

And as she made her movements, Nangong Mingyue beside her glanced at her, saying rather strangely, "Third Sister, what are you doing?"

Why was she shaking her head so desperately?

Was she possessed?

Nangong Mingyue's gaze turned to Shen Mo on the arena, then her brows relaxed slightly, saying, "Don't worry, he won't lose."

In Nangong Mingyue's aura perception, the power of Dao Arts within Shen Mo was as brilliant as the scorching sun; if anyone were to lose, it wouldn't be him.

He truly was a monster; who could cultivate to such a degree?

Nangong Mingyue had investigated Shen Mo's background both openly and secretly, but found no clues.

She had initially suspected he might be an outsider, but could an outsider truly cultivate to such a degree?

But if not, who was he?

Among the border regions of Tianlong Kingdom, there was no one so astonishingly talented.

Could it be that he also... ran in from that place in the Holy Temple?

Nangong Mingyue pondered, but didn't continue thinking about it.

For her, it didn't matter who Shen Mo was, as long as he stood on her side and could be used by her.

The other party was not her enemy; this was Nangong Mingyue's only relief.

Otherwise, she might have to pay an enormous price to eliminate him...

Or perhaps, it would be impossible at all?
