Shadow Hack - Chapter 291
Chapter 291: The Hunt After Descending
When Ye Qing’s group of three ignited the six transcending sage weapons, everyone’s complexion changed. Although most of the people here didn’t really believe that Ye Qing’s group of three could destroy the descending passage with the assistance of the six transcending treasures, they still couldn’t remain calm.
Just based on Divine Religion’s confidence, it was obvious that it had something up its sleeve. Besides, they had already burnt all the bridges with their actions.
At this instant, everyone was filled with despair.
The group of people closest to the passage—Man Tian, Coiling Tiger, Mammoth Barbarian Wuhang, and Tyrant Jiang—gave their all to reach Ye Qing and, one after another, used the most powerful skills at their disposal.
Although they knew that they wouldn’t be able to stop him, they still had to try. None of them were just going to sit and watch as the enemy destroyed their last bit of hope.
But how could the power produced by the self-destruction of six transcending sage tools be stopped just by Man Tian and the other three?
If the four seniors behind them were in this place instead of them and had tried to suppress this power simultaneously, only then it might have been possible.
As expected, Man Tian, Coiling Tiger, and the other two were heavily thrown back by the abundant source power. Other people had also rushed forward after the four, but they shared the same fate – being thrown back.
Fan En, Fan Ni, and Ye Qing were within a protective cover at this moment. It was probably created by a battle sage and could only be broken by another quasi deity.
The contestants lost all hope.
Filled with despair, they looked at Ye Qing, who was chanting the spell to activate the Void Displacement technique.
Instantly, with the assistance of the source power from the six transcending sage tools, Ye Qing pulled the entire Black Dragon Island towards the void. When Li Yunmu and the others surveyed their new environment, they saw spatial storms and chaos all around.
At this instant, everyone understood the reason why Divine Religion had absolute certainty that they could destroy the entire Black Dragon Island just by relying on three Flux Disciples.
The group had suddenly remembered a frightening fact—if being perfectly correct, this Black Dragon Island wasn’t a real world based in Earth, but flux ancestor’s heavenly world.
Void Displacement might not be able to disrupt the rules governing Earth, but as long as it could displace the flux ancestor’s world, Divine Religion’s goal would’ve been achieved.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…
Under the control of Ye Qing’s unique technique, the six transcending treasures exploded, activating Void Displacement. Once it started, everyone could sense that their surroundings were growing increasingly more blurry and unreal.
At this moment, Ye Qing begun to screech.
His voice was filled with surprise, astonishment, confusion, as well as a hint of fright.
Right then, Li Yunmu shrugged calmly and said in a helpless voice, “I told you you won’t succeed. Ye Qing, ahh, why didn’t you listen to my advice, your Divine Religion began to celebrate way too early.”
His words seemed to imply: I told you not to court disaster, but you still insist on doing so.
The sudden change left everyone stunned.
They had been filled with despair due to what was happening. All of them believed that they had certainly lost now and nothing could change their situation, but who could’ve known that at this moment, Li Yunmu would step out.
Moreover, looking at his expression, he appeared to be quite calm and carefree.
“Brother Li, what’s going on?”
Lu Bu, who was standing near him, was one of the few people who hadn’t lost their calm until now. But after the sudden change in circumstances, he also couldn’t suppress the hint of shock in his voice.
“Very simple, the Void Disk I exchanged with him was fake.”
Li Yunmu narrowed his eyes and laughed while looking at Ye Qing’s expression.
Once he said that, Ye Qing’s complexion transformed from extreme arrogance as if he was holding the fate of the world in his palms to deathly paleness as if he had lost all life within him. He began to tremble, then said while pointing at Li Yunmu, “Impossible, it cannot be fake. I clearly confirmed it, the Void Disk was the real treasure.”
“Yes, it was a real when it was exchanged two days ago. However, now that it is the third day, whether it is fake or real, that I cannot guarantee.”
Li Yunmu began to laugh.
Instantly, everyone understood the meaning of his words.
Of the thirty-one people present at the dragon’s tail, not one was an idiot. Li Yunmu had told them so clearly, so how could they not understand it.
The Void Disk he’d exchanged was completely fake. He had ruthlessly swindled Chaotian Sect just before descending, this way foiling Divine Religion’s scheme.
Sure enough, after losing the source energy of the sixth transcending treasure, even if Ye Qing racked his brains, he still couldn’t use Void Displacement. There was no need to talk about destroying the descending passage when even affecting the entire Black Dragon Island became impossible for him.
The reason why Li Yunmu was certain that Ye Qing would fail was because, until now, Chaotian Sect had relentlessly searched for the sixth transcending treasure.
If they could’ve succeeded with one less, than they wouldn’t have agreed to all his demands for the exchange.
The difference between five transcending tools and six transcending tools was substantial. Ye Qing, this pitiful child, had been waiting with excitement for a long time to reveal Divine Religion’s plan and had destroyed five transcending sage tools, but now had nothing to show for them.
Instantly, his breathing became unstable and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Li Yunmu, this swindler had ruthlessly conned Ye Qing and Divine Religion, sending them off to ruin.
Fan En and Fan Ni, who were standing behind Ye Qing, were also dumbstruck. Despair appeared on the faces of these two supreme characters who possessed the extraordinary positions of substitute holy son and daughter.
However, when all was said and done, Fan En was still one of the clever characters. He quickly realized that they were finished and Divine Religion was on the verge of being exterminated.
But the three of them still had one way to survive—the descending passage behind them hadn’t yet been destroyed. Originally, they had wanted to use the opportunity created by mobilizing the island using Void Displacement to hurriedly descend at the final instant, after which the descending passage would be completely destroyed, making sure that they’d be the only people to have descended. But right then, Fan En didn’t think so much; their plan had already failed.
Without any hesitation, he pulled Fan Ni, who was still dumbstruck, and jumped into the descending passage, instantly disappearing from everyone’s sight, while giving Ye Qing a reminder to wake up.
After the wake up call, Ye Qing immediately followed behind them and jumped into the descending passage.
That’s right, Divine Religion is finished.
It was clear that as long as this group of descenders didn’t die, there would definitely be someone who would return through the dragon mist and tell the information to the group of quasi deities. At that point, even if Divine Religion was one of the six transcending powers, when attacked by all the fluxers in the world, it would be exterminated.
However, Fan En’s actions reminded Ye Qing that at least they could survive. The three of them could still flee to the enormous origin world.
After Ye Qing’s group fled, Man Tian and the other three who had been roused from despair reacted similarly, loudly howling, “Chase, kill those traitors, we cannot let them live.”
Instantly, the majority of the descenders jumped into the descending passage.
Li Yunmu’s expression was extremely unsightly. Although he had successfully thwarted Divine Religion, once Ye Qing and his lackeys jumped in, it meant that their plan to wait for two more days was useless. Since the descending passage had opened up, they couldn’t wait anymore.
“Let’s go, Brother Li. Many thanks to you for saving our Earth.”
Hai Yue walked to Li Yunmu and sincerely expressed her gratitude. Afterwards, she followed behind the other descenders and also went into the passage.
Currently, their aim wasn’t just to descend, but also to chase and kill the three traitors who had descended not too long ago. Otherwise, if they revealed the secret of their world to the main world, the enemies would be alerted about their presence.
Once they thought of this frightening outcome, none of them hesitated, and from a team of descenders, they instantly turned into descender hunters. Not one among them wished that the secret of their earth would reach the ears of those from other planes of existence.
