576: Chapter 576 The Wind Is Flowing

At this moment, inside the base, Gongsun Heng was on the verge of death.

As soon as Ma Hao left, Gongsun Heng prepared to pursue him, but in the next instant, he was ambushed by those he trusted most, Yun Mingtian and Cen Xiu.

He had calculated every possibility, but he never expected that the two of them would ambush him at this moment; he had even remained vigilant about whether Kong Xuan would make a move when he left.

Even after being ambushed, he did not get angry immediately; instead, he looked at the two of them in confusion, questioning whether they no longer cared about the plan.

But all of this was meaningless.

Lord Canglan merely clapped his hands, and everyone from the Truth Cult, even Florian who had collapsed to the side, forced themselves to stand up and surrounded Gongsun Heng.

From the very beginning, there had been a problem with the food prepared for them. Most of the ingredients in the meal were normal Spirit Food, but the main ingredient was Lord Canglan's body tissue.

The first meal was to let them adapt to the taste, instinctively thinking that it was just a common ingredient, and in fact, that was indeed the case.

The processed tissue of Lord Canglan only had the properties of an ingredient and no other properties.

However, the second time was different.

The ingredients for the second time were from the same batch, but Lord Canglan's body tissue had only been briefly seared over a fire before being added; it was not prepared at the same time as the first meal.

When they ate it, they might have thought it was because of the emergency situation that the ingredients were not quite fresh, but the high quality of the ingredients themselves made them not pay too much attention to it.

Just like that, they inadvertently consumed Lord Canglan.

The result was self-evident. Now everyone from the Truth Cult, except for Gongsun Heng, whose strength was currently comparable to Lord Canglan and thus didn't fall for it, had become temporary Puppets of Lord Canglan.

They were all outstanding individuals to begin with, otherwise Gongsun Heng would not have been so vigilant against them. Now, with the addition of the Body Integration Stage Lord Canglan, he naturally had no power to fight back.

Just like that, Gongsun Heng was heavily injured and defeated, and under Lord Canglan's intentional driving, he headed towards the place where Li Heng and the others were.

There, Bai Ling and the others, who were escorting Winter, encountered Lv Yang and his companion, who had once again rescued Li Heng.

They happened to run into Gongsun Heng, who had been driven there; when enemies meet, they are exceptionally jealous.

Since Li Heng had already awakened once, he woke up faster in the second loop. After simply adjusting his breath and taking some Medicinal Pill, he had also initially recovered some combat power.

Just like that, under the siege of the low-health Li Heng and Bai Ling and the others, Gongsun Heng was killed in battle.

On Zhou Yan's side, after confirming that the reward had popped up, he ordered Lord Canglan to release everyone from the Truth Cult.

Immediately afterwards, he feigned a panicked appearance and explained that Gongsun Heng had left first and was subsequently killed by Li Heng.

Then, he acted out another scene, trading the reputation of the Taiyi Sect for the survival of the others.

I don't know what Aleph and Su Yao were thinking, but at least Winter, who knew he didn't have to die, and Jiang Liu, who knew Winter didn't have to die, were very grateful to him.

Cen Xiu and Yun Mingtian were also very grateful for this.

As for the price?

The price, of course, was to suppress the impact caused by another part of the Taiyi Sect's interference in this plan, and not to disclose the issue of Xieli's stance in this plan.

Everyone present was not clean, so naturally, there was nothing to say, and they accepted this condition very easily.

Although the School of Mathematics had some thoughts about Xieli, Aleph and Su Yao had already made an agreement with the others to kill Gongsun Heng.

Since everyone else agreed, they dared not make an issue of this matter either.

In the end, everyone reached a consensus to shift all the blame onto the unconscious Isaac, as well as the deceased Florian and Gongsun Heng.

The two groups that had been fighting to the death earlier were now surprisingly harmonious.

If it weren't for Su Yao suddenly mentioning that Ma Hao was still alive, causing both sides to excitedly run out to pursue Ma Hao, Winter would likely have urged Lord Canglan to serve the food.

Watching that chaotic scene, Zhou Yan also found it somewhat amusing.

"Because of Sui, such a big commotion was caused, but from beginning to end, it had nothing to do with Sui. The only time it was activated was because someone found a loophole."

"What a farce."

After restoring his Power of Law and replenishing his red and blue bars, Zhou Yan lay on the ground, feeling the warm sunlight overhead.

"What a hearty battle. Ma Hao, I probably won't forget you until I've forgotten you."

"Thump, thump, thump." Two strange footsteps sounded. Zhou Yan opened his eyes instantly and shouted, "Holy crap!"

He still remembered that last time he was this relaxed on the battlefield, the next moment that bastard Kun Gou jumped behind his back; because of that time, Zhou Yan had developed PTSD.

So he did a kip-up to get up and subconsciously swung his fist with all his might.

"Boss, calm down, it's me!"

"Ah!"

Although Zhou Yan held back his strength at the last moment, Yuan Chenling still flew backward and was unable to flip over because he was crushed by the large iron shell he was wearing.

It was like a turtle on its back.

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much. This Old Ancestor's nose is no longer handsome."

Seeing that it was Yuan Chenling, Zhou Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared the hell out of me! You should have made a sound when you came over!"

Zhou Yan stepped forward and pulled Yuan Chenling up, finding his appearance somewhat amusing.

"I didn't want to either, but I saw you, Boss, lying there relaxing, and that Shi girl was looking at you drooling like a lovesick fan, so I couldn't just... Ah! My handsome nose!"

Yuan Chenling flew backward again.

The person who attacked was none other than Shi Suiyan. Seeing Zhou Yan look at her, she instantly blushed and began to explain.

"Senior Brother, don't listen to this mixed-fur civet cat's nonsense. I was just worried earlier."

Seeing Shi Suiyan blushing, Zhou Yan also felt a bit awkward.

He couldn't help but complain to himself.

This stupid Lion has reached the Breakthrough of the Nascent Soul, and is probably so arrogant he doesn't know his own name. If I had known, I wouldn't have boasted so much earlier.

At that time, in order to comfort Yuan Chenling, he had belittled his father, and this guy probably thought he was already on the same level as a Void Refining expert.

So this time, Zhou Yan didn't go to help him up; it was a good thing to let this little Lion learn a lesson.

After Yuan Chenling finished speaking, the atmosphere between Shi Suiyan and Zhou Yan became somewhat subtle.

This time, perhaps both of them felt that things would go wrong, and both sides said some random things.

But now that they discovered everything was over, both sides didn't know how to face each other.

At this moment, Zhou Yan desperately hoped that Zhou Su would come over quickly to balance the situation; this stupid Lion didn't even know how to find a topic to skip over this awkward atmosphere.

Yuan Chenling signaled.

Someone come and help me up!

After some time, Yuan Chenling finally stood up and immediately took off the armor.

"Damn it, this iron shell is hindering me too much. If I had known, I wouldn't have worn it out."

Watching Yuan Chenling acting stupid, Zhou Yan couldn't bear to look.

"We are Cultivators, Xiao Yuan. It's not like you can't fly. If you just take off, wouldn't you flip over?"

Yuan Chenling suddenly realized.

"That's right, I can fly!"

"Tsk, there's no saving you."

"Brother Zhou." Bai Ling's voice came from the air. Zhou Yan turned his head to look and, seeing the crowd flying over, also greeted them.

As soon as they landed, the impatient Aleph rushed up.

"Where is Ma Hao?"

He naturally saw Shi Suiyan refining Sui, but that had nothing to do with him anymore. The things of the former project team were lost, but the people of the former project team had to be gone!

Seeing that everyone was so anxious, Zhou Yan pointed to the side unhurriedly.

"That pile over there is him."

"I don't know if it's because he died once, but now even his Soul is gone."

Aleph and the others looked in the direction Zhou Yan pointed, and sure enough, Ma Hao was lying there, his body a bloody mess, his head severed from his body.

"It was solved just like that?"

Bai Ling couldn't believe it. The previous fight was so chaotic and busy; how come after the opponent played a trick on them, it was the opponent who died first?

Zhou Yan looked relaxed, as if he had just done an insignificant little thing.

"It was solved just like that."

Over here, everyone was discussing heatedly, asking if Ma Hao was not dead yet, or if they should whip the corpse or something.

Yuan Chenling's eyes suddenly darkened, and he approached Shi Suiyan.

"Finally finished refining."

Shi Suiyan wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, looking at this monster that could be called her childhood shadow, which had now become her Magic Treasure, and felt a moment of emotion.

"Have you finished refining?"

Shi Suiyan knew that it was Yuan Chenling coming from behind, so she didn't have much defense.

Just as she was about to reply, "Finished refining," she quickly realized something was wrong.

Her Divine Ability was released rapidly, and in an instant, Shi Suiyan learned the reason why she felt something was wrong.

She instantly activated Myriad Orders Reflecting My Body, raising her strength to Nascent Soul Perfection, and her Nascent Soul Domain also opened instantly.

At the same time, she did not forget to explain the situation to the people in front using sound transmission, striving to compress the time to the shortest possible.

"In Yuan Chenling's mouth, there is a silhouette of Ma Hao!"

This voice echoed in the field, and after seeing the Nascent Soul Domain and hearing the transmission, everyone released their Power of Law as quickly as possible.

But in the end, it was a step too late.

A hand reached out from Yuan Chenling's mouth, its palm facing Sui, which had not yet been put away.

"Great Unity Wind."

The wind flowed, blowing the golden apple in Lord Canglan's hand, blowing out the silhouette of Feng Xu from Zhou Yan's backpack, and finally flowing all of this into the mouthparts of Sui.

The wind stopped, and Ma Hao's final silhouette also dissipated, but the story blown by the wind had just begun.

With a "hum," the huge mechanical octopus that had been lying limp on the ground rose rapidly, deflected all the incoming attacks of the Power of Law, and instantly dissolved Shi Suiyan's Nascent Soul Domain.

"Law of Time is being re-deduced. Previous progress 75%, current progress 1%... 23%... 56%..." A mechanical voice came from Sui, and Sui began to think again.
