s unparalleled loyalty. I will do my best. Time is of the essence, let's see your brother first.""Daozhang, Brother Qin, please come in..."Tan Hao hurriedly made way, inviting the two to enter the cav...Jīngyǔ smiled wryly, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to cover for me. Back then, I accidentally entered the Blood Lake and encountered a powerful enemy. I barely escaped with my life. Today, thanks to Fellow Daoist Míngyuè's help, I managed to break free..."

Qin Sang looked at the melee ahead and asked, "Were you attacked by flesh-and-blood puppets"

The Translucent Demon Lord helplessly said, "We took the initiative to hunt it down, wanting to capture one. We exhausted all our efforts to search for Ye Lao Mo's whereabouts, running around like headless flies. We also thought of starting from the large formation to find the core of the formation. But although the Black Tower Formation was severely damaged, it was still very grand and complex. With our abilities, we couldn't decipher its rules in a short time. The blood and flesh puppet should have been born from the Black Tower Formation and has an intricate connection with the formation. We wanted to start with the blood and flesh puppet."

Then Qing Jun continued, "The tremors of the Black Tower Array before must have been caused by Ye Lao Mo breaking a certain restriction. He feigned a lack of movement to keep us tied up outside the Blood Gate for a while, precisely to prevent us from following his trail. Now that they are completely silent and unassuming, if we don't quickly decipher the Black Tower Array, it will be impossible to stop them."

As she spoke, Qingjun glanced at Jingyu.

Even the Demonic Lord Tong Yu showed a look of anticipation.

Jing Yu nodded in understanding and said, "Let's have both of you ask the fellow cultivators to stop first. Although the flesh puppets were born from the Black Tower Array, they are not sentient beings, not even living creatures. We won't get any answers by capturing them alive. I know where the core of the array is located. That was where I encountered danger back then. It's highly likely that Cui Yuan, with all his scheming, opened the Blood Lake to target that location."

Then, Jingyu briefly recounted her past experiences, of course omitting the existence of the Corpse Flower and Blood Jade.

Everyone, freed from the flesh and blood puppets, was astounded upon hearing about Jingyu's ordeal.

"No wonder Zuibian mobilized a large force, even disregarding the battlefield! This place seals ancient cultivators, and they're still alive today"

“Gu Xiu’s identity is unknown, wanting to capture Jing Yu Daoist as blood food, he must not be a good person! Does Ye Lao Mo know what the consequences of letting him go would be”

“Ming Yue Dao You's guess is not unreasonable. Elder Ye might know that the ancient cultivators are at their weakest, and with great ambitions, he wants to imprison them and interrogate them about ancient secrets!”

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their interest instantly piqued by Kinkaku's words.

They were all nascent soul cultivators, the most top-tier figures in the world, yet they faced a situation where their path ahead was cut off.

Nothing is more precious than the path of cultivation.

Although none of the people present might be able to break through to the late Yuanying stage, who could refuse the temptation to catch a glimpse of ancient secrets from Gu Xiu's mouth

Furthermore, if Ye Lao Mo succeeds in forcing the truth out of him and obtains the ancient secret art, his power will increase greatly. Given Ye Lao Mo's ambitious nature, both realms will be plunged into chaos.

By taking back ancient practices, everyone benefits.

Upon learning the truth, everyone did not hesitate for a moment and immediately decided to follow Jingyu to the core of the formation. They would seize the opportunity to either snatch the ancient relic from Gu Xiu or stop Ye Lao Mo from breaking the seal.

Jīngyǔ led the way, and everyone followed closely behind.

The great formation was indeed incredibly complex. If it weren't for Jingyu leading the way, by the time they found the core of the formation, Elder Ye would have likely already taken everyone away.

Within the formation, countless killing techniques transformed incessantly, dazzling the eyes. As they continued to race forward, the shadows of the Black Tower began to appear densely, indicating that they were getting closer and closer to the core of the grand formation.

After racing for a while longer, having passed numerous black towers, Jingwu suddenly came to a halt.

Everyone stopped following and saw two black towers standing side by side ahead.

These two black towers were much like those found elsewhere, except that they were flanked by two more black towers. The four towers stood guard over the four directions, forming a square space in their center.

In this space, there were no murderous intentions encountered before. There was only a thick blood mist that constantly swirled around a special black tower, unable to escape the range limited by the four black towers.

This black tower was larger and taller than any he had ever seen before.

All eyes turned to the black tower, but they saw no one. They couldn't help asking, "Was Gu Xiu sealed inside this black tower"

Jing Yu sneered and shook his head, "Haven't you all seen it yet This tower is nothing but an illusion born from a great formation, a mere trick of the eyes. However, it's true that someone was sealed between the four black towers. The illusions created by the Black Tower Formation are very peculiar, appearing as if they are real. One must first dispel the illusion to find the passageway."

Everyone was astonished. No one had seen through the illusion, they could only marvel at the magic of the formation.

Only Qin Sang had discovered a hint of something amiss in advance.

However, he hadn't expected the entire Black Tower to be an illusion. Upon being reminded by Jīngyǔ, he immediately focused his gaze.

The Illusory Demon Sovereign frowned and said, "To forcefully break the illusion would mean revealing our whereabouts prematurely. Friend, do you have a better plan"

Jing Yu shook his head and said, "I only know how to break things with brute force."

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment. They had intended to approach stealthily and take him by surprise, but now it seemed impossible. Time wouldn't allow them to slowly search for a way to break the formation.

Qin Sang looked at it for a long time, and couldn't think of a better way for a while.

After much deliberation, the group decided to take action!

The ones who made a move were Jing Yu, Tong Yu Mo Jun, and Chong Yi Dao Chang and his disciples. They all had means to dispel illusions.

The Illusory Demon Lord took out a black gourd, and with a flick of his finger, the blood gourd rose high into the air. Then, it spewed out clumps of black Yin thunder, as large as heads.

Here's the translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

These sinister thunders hovered around the enigmatic Demon Lord, concealed yet potent.

Chongyi Daochang and his two disciples sat cross-legged on the ground. They each took out a blue pill and swallowed it, then Chongyi Daochang raised a fresh, emerald green spirit grass.

This spirit herb seemed just plucked, its leaves standing straight like fine swords, swirling before Dao Chang Chongyi.

But the leaves above were a riot of colors, not like those that grow naturally, but like some kind of treasure.

With a flash of his hand, the Onmyōji ki grasped the treasure. His arm swished, conjuring streaks of brilliant light imbued with the power of the five elements. Meanwhile, both Shi Di and their companion remained perfectly still.

Qin Sang sensed that Chongyi Daochang's brush of qi fluctuated once stronger than the last, already exceeding Chongyi Daochang's individual abilities. The three disciples were jointly activating the treasure together, and he couldn't figure out how they did it.

Could it be because of that pill

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang transmitted a voice message to ask her senior sister.

Only then did I realize that the true transmission of Taiyi Danzong actually consisted of only one technique. However, due to different practitioners and their understandings, it manifested in diverse ways.

But through that kind of elixir, one can temporarily transform the characteristics of one's cultivation method, allowing the mind and true essence to be in harmony. Not only can this unleash greater strength, but it can also enable one to accomplish things beyond their capabilities, such as activating treasures beyond their power.

Qin Sang listened in amazement.

Just then, Jing Yu revealed his demonic form. His mouth opened wide, and a silver bolt of lightning flashed into the blood mist, heading straight for the black tower in the illusion.

The Illusory Demon Lord combined all the Yin Leis and sent them flying.

Hōichi's arms moved continuously, striking out with lights that flowed like water, vast and powerful, following close behind.
