As Ye Youluo's cheeks flushed slightly, Gu Ping was momentarily stunned. He activated the teleportation ring and arrived at Cosmic Plaza. Upon emerging, he quickly glanced around and noticed the Universe Hall enforcers and the Ten Elders engaged in a fierce battle with the beasts from Shadow Tower Forest. The sky was filled with radiant colors, signaling to Gu Ping that yet another Great Demon had broken the seal, leaving him with little time.
Within Cosmic Plaza, as the battle escalated, some Nine Nether Cultivators joined the fray. Naturally, where there were those who chose to fight, others opted to flee. While some remained to watch the chaos unfold, Minghong felt a sense of unease.
Boom!
As Tenglan and Ying Zhan were once again sent flying by Sima Wuduan's sword strike from mid-air, the ground beneath them began to tilt in favor of the Eastern forces.
At this critical moment, Hong Yulong shouted out; they had been fighting for nearly half an hour. Everyone could see that holding onto the Jade Conch was crucial for Mu Qinglong. A False True Artifact was equivalent to a Integration Stage cultivator. If Mu Qinglong was confident enough to attempt to comprehend the Great Dao laws and use his body to channel Zhen Yan, it was likely that several of them had already been defeated by the Eastern forces, which made it hard to sustain their position for so long.
Mu Qinglong provocatively looked at Hong Yulong and grinned, "So what if we see through your plans? What can you do about it? Hong Yulong, don’t think you can keep me under your thumb forever; tomorrow may not be your day."
Hmph!
The Ruby Dragon Spear shot forth like a red dragon aimed directly at Mu Qinglong. However, Mu Qinglong activated the Jade Conch, producing a crisp conch sound that made it difficult for the red dragon to advance any further.
When Yue Ruo and Ye Youluo stepped forward, they wondered how their group could possibly break through his defenses.
Tenglan and Ying Zhan rose to fight again but saw Sima Wuduan bringing forth a torrent of yellow river energy. The others were momentarily entangled in battle, leaving no one available to assist them.
"Haha! Once Tenglan and Ying Zhan are defeated, let’s see how they turn the tide!"
Mu Qinglong exerted all his strength to hold back Hong Yulong, preventing him from aiding anyone else. Yan Dong found himself unable to escape and help Tenglan and Ying Zhan. Were they truly left with no options?
As everyone's attention shifted to Sima Wuduan and his companions, even Mu Qinglong failed to notice that Yongxuan was writhing. A flash of Cold Light appeared, and the Bloody Dagger struck, sending the Jade Conch flying from Mu Qinglong's leg.
"Night Emperor, quickly help Tenglan, known as Zhongshang!"
With the Jade Conch dislodged, Hong Yulong seized the opportunity to charge forward, directly knocking Mu Qinglong away, hoping to retrieve the Jade Conch.
The Night Emperor turned and rushed towards Sima Wuduan, aiming to break the encirclement for Tenglan and Zhongshang.
Coughing, Mu Qinglong spat out a mouthful of blood. Just as he attempted to rise, Hong Yulong stomped him back down.
"I will never deny my mistakes," he thought bitterly, "for I have no responsibility as a strong individual."
The Ruby Dragon Spear transformed into a weapon of destruction, with Cold Light flickering before Mu Qinglong's eyes. Just half an inch forward would be enough to take his life.
"Hahaha!"
With one leg pressed against his forehead, Mu Qinglong laughed maniacally throughout Cosmic Plaza. Even those engaged in battle paused in surprise, their attention drawn toward him once more.
Just then, after knocking away Mu Qinglong, the Jade Conch and Night Emperor had clashed hard with Sima Wuduan. Realizing the danger, they immediately sought to retreat and retrieve the Jade Conch.
In the midst of his legs, the Jade Conch could not unleash its full power. Now that he was no longer in control, it revealed itself as a genuine False True Artifact. A group of Red Fools erupted in laughter.
A sense of foreboding crept into his heart. Hong Yulong quickly retracted his weapon, hoping to contain the Jade Conch before it unleashed its might. But it was too late.
In truth, the Jade Conch had never been under the control of the Qinglong disciple, so even if he attempted to use its incantations, it would not work while it was still in his possession.
Sima Wuduan spoke politely, but at that moment, a sinister melody emanated from the Jade Conch. The sight of Sima Wuduan wielding a massive sword with a gaunt frame created an atmosphere filled with an eerie elegance, yet Bu Luo's presence instilled fear.
As the ominous sound of the Jade Conch echoed, a tremendous pressure descended upon everyone present. Although it was merely a False True Artifact, Bu Luo was no mere broken object; it could harness the laws of nature but could not target any specific individual. In the Cosmic Plaza, where numerous cultivators gathered, this pressure acted as a constraint on every World of Mortals cultivator.
Even so, Yan Dong remained unfazed by the situation. The circumstances were dire for Ying Zhan and Hong Yulong, and how could they not be concerned when their main strategy relied on the Night Emperor? The Night Emperor's speed was restricted, causing him to lose a significant portion of his combat strength, which worried everyone greatly.
Just when despair settled in their hearts, a sudden flash of red light appeared at the center of the Cosmic Plaza, reigniting hope among the crowd.
Upon recognizing the newcomer, Mu Qinglong's face turned pale as he gritted his teeth and uttered two words: Gu Ping.
