As the start of the meeting approached, the hall gradually quietened down. Everyone looked at Yin Chengquan, Huangfu Yu, and Xiao Buye, who were sitting in the middle.
At this moment, Xiao Buye suddenly raised his head and looked around. Huang Fu Yu's expression also changed.
"Palace Lord Huang Fu, what's wrong?" Jiao San, who was behind Huang Fu Yu, immediately asked.
The other Domain Lords also noticed the change in Huang Fu Yu and Xiao Buye's expressions. There was another commotion in the place.
"Domain Lord Yin, what do you mean by this?"
Huang Fu Yu suddenly stood up and looked at Yin Chengquan. A layer of dazzling white light appeared on his body.
When Huangfu Yu stood up, the Realm Lords who had been recruited by the Realm of Reincarnation were puzzled. However, the Realm Lords who had pledged their allegiance to the Realm of Reincarnation also stood up. Their bodies immediately glowed with various colours. Some of the more impatient ones even brought out their immortal artifacts.
Xiao Buye's expression was gloomy. He did not stand up to question Yin Chengquan. Instead, he only stared at Yin Chengquan.
Yin Chengquan remained calm in the face of Huang Fu Yu's questioning and the situation that was about to erupt at any moment.
He did not speak, but the people from the Abysmal Region did not remain silent. They suddenly stood up and various colored lights flashed on their bodies. They all took out their Immortal Tools.
"This is the meeting period. Is the Samsara Domain going to rebel?" The Domain Lord of the Heaven Weeping Region asked sternly.
"Does the Abysmal Region consider itself the ruler of the Dust World?
What rebellion? What a joke! "Before Huangfu Yu could open his mouth, Xiao Buye suddenly spoke.
"You …" The Domain Lord of the Heaven Weeping Region knew that he had misspoken and was speechless.
"Everyone, what's wrong?
The meeting is about to begin. This is a crucial moment to decide the fate of the Dust World. Why are you all fighting among yourselves? "Yin Chengquan still did not stand up. He only glanced at Huang Fu Yu and Xiao Buye and said indifferently.
"Do you think I'm blind and deaf, Domain Lord Yin?
You set up a Space Restriction around the Falling Lake to isolate this place from the outside world. What's the meaning of this? "Huang Fu Yu questioned coldly.
As soon as he said this, everyone in the place understood. There was an uproar as they looked around. Then, they all looked at Yin Chengquan.
Yin Cheng looked at everyone intently. His expression was calm, and there was even a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Now that everything was in place, even if the others discovered it now, it was already too late.
After planning for a long time, the situation was finally settled!
"Everyone …" Yin Chengquan smiled faintly and was about to say something.
At this moment, a muffled sound rang out from afar, as if there was a violent explosion. Following this muffled sound, an enormous evil aura shot into the sky, spreading out in all directions like a raging wave.
Dazzling black light radiated from there, forming a huge black ball of light.
All of the baleful aura in the vicinity of Asura City violently fluctuated, and the gray clouds in the sky churned. Thunder rumbled, and the weather changed color.
At the same time, the three dim yellow suns in the sky had also changed. They had approached each other at some point in time and even overlapped with each other. However, they hadn't completely overlapped yet.
The light emitted by the three grey suns was much brighter than usual. Streams of bright grey light flew out of the three grey suns and flowed down like streams, quickly disappearing into that black light ball in the distance.
In the face of such a shocking change, everyone in the venue and the spectators in the plaza below were all shocked. They looked at the celestial phenomenon in the sky and the black light ball in the distance.
Huangfu Yu and Xiao Buye's expressions also changed.
"That is the Soul Cleansing Area of our city. There are many artifact refinement workshops and puppet refinement workshops built there. Something might have happened to the workshops, so the Falling Lake activated a space restriction. This was originally set up by Abysmal Region in advance to ensure the smooth progress of the conference. It's all a misunderstanding, so everyone doesn't need to be anxious." Yin Chengquan's expression changed several times, and then he changed the topic.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was startled, and many people revealed doubtful expressions.
However, this way, the tense atmosphere in the venue had dissipated a lot.
Huangfu Yu's eyes flickered, and a white light flashed from his body. At the same time, he waved his hand to signal the people from Abysmal Region to put away their immortal weapons.
When the people from Abysmal Region saw this, they also put away their immortal weapons.
Xiao Buye glanced at the Soul Cleansing Area, then turned to look at Yin Chengquan. He frowned. Although he still had some doubts, they were not as strong as before.
"Go and see what happened, and settle it as soon as possible." Yin Chengquan turned around and said to the two Zenith Heaven Realm cultivators behind him.
The single-horned Youth and the grey-robed man remained indifferent. After they heard Yin Chengquan's words, they turned into two rays of black light and flew toward the Soul Cleansing Area.
"It's nothing serious. I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time. Let's continue with the conference." Yin Chengquan sat down and said.
Everyone in the venue looked at each other and slowly sat down.
However, everyone had different expressions, and no one spoke for a while.
"Palace Master Huangfu, do you think what Yin Chengquan said just now is the truth?" Jiao San took a step forward and communicated with Huangfu Yu and Wu Yang through telepathy.
"Yin Chengquan is cunning, so how can we believe everything he says?
Activating the Space Restriction around the Falling Lake must be his scheme. However, that muffled sound is even more intriguing … If I'm not mistaken, there's something going on in the Soul Cleansing Area, "Huangfu Yu said with a cold sneer.
"Scheme …" Jiao San's expression changed slightly.
"Palace Master Huangfu is the brains of the Reincarnation Region. Have you figured out Yin Chengquan's scheme?" Wu Yang asked through telepathy.
"Palace Master Martial Yang, you flatter me. How can I compare to the Territorial Lord in terms of intelligence? There are still too few clues, and I have yet to see through Yin Chengquan's scheme." Huangfu Yu smiled and replied through telepathy.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to stay here?" Jiao San asked through telepathy.
"Don't worry, the Territorial Lord has already predicted that Yin Chengquan won't be honest during the Three Territories Alliance Conference, so he has already made preparations. Let's just wait and see for now." Huangfu Yu replied through telepathy.
Jiao San and Wu Yang's eyes lit up when they heard this, but they did not say anything else.
…
In the underground palace of the Soul Cleansing Area.
Yin Xu and Ghost Wood looked at Suanni's giant hand and its huge, hideous head, and their faces turned deathly pale.
"Elder Yin Xu, those people have flown out. Should we capture them first and hand them over to the Territorial Lord to deal with? Perhaps that will appease the Territorial Lord a little?"
Gui Mu took a deep breath and regained his composure. He then glanced at Han Li and the others and quickly said, "Alright, let's go.
"It's almost time for the Territorial Lord to carry out his plan, but now it's a mess. Do you think that capturing these thieves will appease the Territorial Lord? Fortunately, Tao Wu has not completely escaped. The most important thing now is to imprison him and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"
Yin Xu said with a pale face. Then, he gritted his teeth and flew forward. At the same time, he formed a seal with both hands.
A streak of black light emerged from his body, and with a twirl, it transformed into a black badge.
It looked very similar to the Nine Nether Token, but there were nine groups of ghost heads engraved on the token.
Yin Xu spat out several balls of blood essence into the token without saying a word.
The black token immediately shone brightly and circles of black spirit light emerged from it. The nine groups of ghost heads squirmed quickly and instantly grew several times larger. At the same time, they opened their mouths.
Nine streaks of black light shot forth before vanishing into the nearby space in a flash.
Hualala!
Scarlet chains emerged from the nearby void and wrapped around Tao Wu's hand and head.
However, the chains summoned by Yin Xu were obviously much thinner than the ones on Tao Wu's body.
Gui Mu looked at Han Li and the others again. He seemed a little unwilling.
Tao Wu's body was wrapped by these chains. The flames in his eyes rolled and he waved his arm again.
A terrifying force burst out, causing the nearby void to tremble.
"Bang, bang, bang." A series of crisp sounds rang out. Most of the chains summoned by Yin Xu were immediately broken.
"Gui Mu, what are you doing? Hurry up and help me!" Yin Xu's face suddenly turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned his head and shouted at Gui Mu.
Gui Mu didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately flew behind Yin Xu and waved his hands.
Two thick black lights came out of his palms and entered Yin Xu's body. Yin Xu's complexion immediately relaxed, and his hands quickly formed a seal.
The black token shone brightly again, and with a crisp sound, more chains flew out and wrapped around Tao Wu's body.
In another corner, Han Li was overjoyed when he saw this scene. He immediately turned into a golden afterimage and rushed toward the black wooden prison imprisoning the Weeping Soul Beast.
An emerald green light flashed in front of him, and the Mysterious Heaven Gourd appeared. It quickly rotated and blossomed with dazzling green light.
Han Li quickly chanted an incantation and formed a seal with his hands.
The emerald green light emitted by the Mysterious Heaven Gourd brightened again, and its body suddenly grew several times larger. The surface of the gourd trembled and rows of emerald green runes appeared.
Gui Mu was shocked and angry when he saw this scene.
He didn't mind letting Han Li and the others escape for the time being. At that moment, the entire Asura City was under martial law. With their cultivation, it was impossible for them to escape. Sooner or later, they would be caught.
But he couldn't let them take the Weeping Soul Beast away.
Gui Mu shouted. Without making any movement, black light flashed on his body, and eight black talismans flew out. They swayed in the wind and turned into eight pitch-black mace-like giant weapons with spikes growing all over them.
A formidable aura of evil laws was emitted from these giant weapons, and it was mixed with vast evil sounds. Their might was astonishing.
The aura emitted by each of these giant weapons was not inferior to that of a ranked immortal tool.
The eight pitch-black giant weapons blurred and immediately turned into a pitch-black cold light that swept toward Han Li.
At the same time, the black wooden prison imprisoning the Weeping Soul Beast flashed and flew toward Gui Mu and Gui Mu.
"Come at me!"
Han Li wasn't alarmed when he saw this scene. Instead, he was delighted. Golden light suddenly shone from his body, and with a flash of golden light, the Mantra Treasure Wheel appeared behind him.
The treasure wheel rotated rapidly, and countless golden ripples spread out from it, shrouding the eight pitch-black giant weapons.
The eight pitch-black giant weapons immediately stopped, but the power contained in them was too great. The entire area covered by the golden ripples shook violently, and it immediately showed signs of collapsing.
