558: What a cold ice! Everything is under control!

The world suddenly fell silent.

Ye Qingyun’s pupils slightly widened due to extreme disbelief, and he stiffly lowered his head, looking towards his chest.

He saw Leng Ningbing’s Natal Emperor Weapon, the White Nether Emperor Sword, had completely pierced through his chest!

Hot blood, mixed with a certain divinity, continuously gushed from the wound.

Moreover, the Celestial Demon Black Blood, which Leng Ningbing had specifically applied to the blade, had already flowed along the wound and began to surge into his body.

This could not be blamed on his Physical Body not being strong enough.

After all, he had never expected that Leng Ningbing, who had just moments ago seemed willing to risk her life, even self-sacrifice, for him—

Would instantly turn hostile and directly backstab him the next moment!

Furthermore, he had used all his power and attention to communicate with the Heavenly Dao Academy, establishing a special barrier to resist Kong Wudao's frantic assault.

He had completely exposed his back to Leng Ningbing behind him.

He was completely defenseless against her sudden sneak attack, which disregarded martial ethics!

Crack!

At the same time, with his momentary Divided Soul.

Kong Wudao’s power quickly gained the upper hand.

The vast and mighty Devilish Qi storm instantly shattered the divine wall he had constructed, and the dark energy substance seemed to transform into countless abyssal Demonic Beasts with gaping mouths, pouncing and biting at him!

His remaining power was no match for it, rapidly disintegrating and dissolving under such a terrifying offensive!

Although his body was torn and he suffered severe penetrating damage.

Ye Qingyun still relied on his powerful will to unleash a terrifying Law storm again, blasting away the sneak-attacking Leng Ningbing while quickly pulling out and crushing a special divine talisman!

Buzz!!

A wonderful and mysterious ripple immediately spread out, and Ye Qingyun’s body transformed into specks of brilliant silver light, merging into it!

The ensuing Demonic Might storm did not affect him.

Ye Qingyun escaped this attack through such a miraculous method, and when his figure reformed, he had already appeared hundreds of feet away from Kong Wudao!

“Pfft.....”

The next moment, Ye Qingyun immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood mixed with some dark substance, his aura extremely weak.

The divine talisman he had used earlier was something he had created after exhausting countless efforts and time, possessing the function of rapid relocation.

According to his original power, he could have used this divine talisman to directly leave this place and quickly escape danger.

However...

When Leng Ningbing ambushed him just now, she seemed to have applied some kind of poison to the sword blade, and as it pierced his chest, the strange poison on the blade also surged into his flesh and blood!

What made him even more unwilling was that he could clearly feel an evil force corroding his body!

This external evil force disrupted the balance of his original power, preventing him from fully unleashing his cultivation!

[Ding! Congratulations! Due to the Revered Master's indirect reason, Ye Qingyun, the Great Era of Destiny Person, suffered heavy injuries, and his Origin was initially corroded. heavenly mandate points decreased by 30,000 points, remaining 160,000 points!]

[Congratulations, Revered Master, for triggering a triple critical hit, gaining 90,000 heavenly mandate points!]

“Leng Ningbing, you...”

Ye Qingyun spat out another large mouthful of black blood, his aura weak, his hair disheveled, and his appearance extremely disheveled, but the depths of his pupils were filled with anger and killing intent towards Leng Ningbing.

“Hehe....”

Leng Ningbing casually wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, a playful smile on her lips.

“You didn’t expect this, Revered Master?”

“Do you really think I would easily forgive everything you did to me back then?”

“You constantly claim to abhor the Demonic Path, always speaking of the so-called righteousness of the common people and prestigious sects. Soon, you will completely transform into the very thing you despise the most in your heart. Are you happy now?”

The curve of Leng Ningbing’s mouth became increasingly exaggerated, even appearing somewhat insane and pathological.

“Hahaha! I’m truly looking forward to it!”

“I look forward to Revered Master falling into an Ancient Demonic Being, and finally being reviled and denounced by everyone in the Vatican Heaven Dao Domain!”

“Leng Ningbing... What a Leng Ningbing!”

“It was also my own fault for being lulled by your scheme earlier, allowing you to succeed in your sneak attack... I also underestimated you!”

It wasn’t just self-mockery; he was also deliberately using laughter to conceal the anger and killing intent in his heart.

Ye Qingyun’s body trembled, and he laughed wildly.

At the same time, under the corrosion of the Celestial Demon Black Blood, the originally divine cells in his body began to be gradually eroded and corrupted, tainted with an ominous dark energy substance.

“Hehe... But do you really think that by joining forces with this Ancient Demonic Being, you can completely kill me!?”

“I knew something was off about you a long time ago, and I already had a backup plan!”

He had been stalling for time by saying all of that.

He had always been extremely suspicious.

Even before coming here, he had already considered the possibility of Leng Ningbing colluding with an Ancient Demonic Being to backstab him.

Or the terrifying existence within the Demon Mist Abyss, where he might accidentally suffer a setback.

For this, he had already prepared a series of remedial measures!

He had already ordered people to set up the Immortal Ancient Extermination Array within the Qingming Divine Sect’s ancestral land!

That was a special grand array he had specifically found from the depths of the Heavenly Dao Academy, to be jointly activated by several Great Emperors and dozens of Quasi-Emperor powerhouses he had deliberately left at the Qingming Divine Sect’s main headquarters!

Once fully activated and unleashed, it might not completely shatter the Demon Mist Abyss that had engulfed the Northern Region, but it could at least create an opportunity for him to escape!

However, he had no idea.

Kong Wudao was his first mole beside him.

As soon as he had finished formulating this plan, he had already reported all the special arrangements and information within the Qingming Divine Sect to Kong Wudao.

.........

Qingming Divine Sect, deep within the ancestral land.

Many powerhouses, who had already received the news, had all gathered here.

They simultaneously activated their cultivation, resonating with the special divinity within their bodies, using their bodies as the formation and the Dao as the foundation, beginning to construct some ancient and complex runic array.

Rumble!!

Instantly, thunder roared across the sky, and countless ancient inscriptions, as if summoned by ancient power, intertwined, finally slowly solidifying into a phantom ancient grand array.

Once such an ancient grand array was completely solidified and inscribed, it could generate a miraculous resonance with the entire world, thereby accumulating and unleashing world-destroying power.

“The Sect Master has sent a message!”

“The powerhouses of our Qingming Divine Sect who entered the Demon Mist Abyss to suppress the evil have suffered heavy injuries. Immediately activate the Taiyi Immortal Slaying Array! Reinforce...”

Before the leading powerhouse of the Qingming Divine Sect could finish speaking.

Crack!!

The next moment.

Accompanied by thunder that shook the heavens, the sound of space being cut and shattered instantly reverberated throughout the universe!

A scene that caught all the Qingming Divine Sect powerhouses off guard appeared.

A section of space in the sky, along with the Immortal Ancient Array they had just inscribed and condensed, was instantly impacted by some terrifying force, shattering into countless fragments like a mirror!

Many Qingming Divine Sect powerhouses who were responsible for constructing the ancient grand array also suffered terrifying backlash at the same time.

At best, they spat out blood and were struck by some invisible impact, flying several feet away!

At worst, their bodies could not bear the burden, instantly exploding into a mist of blood, their forms and spirits utterly annihilated!
