Mapleforest City Taoist Academy.
Before the earth fissure occurred, Dong A was in Song Qifang’s alchemy room.
The two headmasters, the chief and the deputy, were arguing endlessly over a difficult ancient alchemy recipe.
In the art of alchemy, Song Qifang was certainly more erudite and profound. But Dong A’s cultivation was higher, and he could see things that Song Qifang could not.
Therefore, when their opinions differed, neither could convince the other.
“In any case, testing the medicine on Taoist Academy disciples is absolutely not allowed,” Dong A said firmly.
Today, Song Qifang had specifically invited him over to discuss the feasibility of this ancient alchemy recipe and to propose arranging for disciples to test the medicine. But he was met with Dong A’s resolute refusal.
“If this alchemy recipe can be successfully restored, it will bring endless benefits to our entire Taoist Academy!” Song Qifang said, “This elixir is absolutely non-toxic, I can guarantee it. Even if taken incorrectly, at most it will only cause diarrhea for a few days.”
“What do you base that guarantee on?”
Being questioned in his area of expertise, Song Qifang, who was usually good-tempered, also blew his beard and glared, “Based on my many years of alchemy experience! Based on my…”
Just then, the first earth fissure occurred.
Both of them were immediately alarmed.
In the room, the fire under the alchemy furnace, which had been burning steadily, suddenly flared up at this moment, transforming into a fierce tiger of flames, heading straight for Dong A!
The timing was so perfect, everything had been planned long ago.
The anger and anxiety were gone from Song Qifang’s face, and he no longer appeared old and frail. He flicked his horsetail whisk, and countless strands, like a dense spider web, instantly sealed off the entire alchemy room.
His aura was also far from the Tongtian realm, but clearly, he had already pushed open the Gate of Heaven and Earth!
Dong A, however, showed no surprise. His hand was covered in emerald light as he pressed down on the fierce tiger of flames with one hand, directly stuffing it back into the furnace.
Wood is inherently restrained by Fire, but under absolute power, everything is illusory.
His other hand, also covered in emerald light, simply swiped and cut through the web. Then, he reached out and grabbed Song Qifang’s neck, shattering all of the latter’s Daoyuan, which was blocking the keywords within his body.
“How could you not be affected by my scented poison?” Song Qifang asked in horror. “Were you prepared for me?”
He had invited Dong A to sit here for so long, not just for a sneak attack.
The alchemy room had long been filled with poisonous incense, so potent that it could corrode an ordinary Inner Mansion realm expert.
Just one stick of this poisonous incense was worth a fortune. It was also Song Qifang’s greatest reliance.
But Dong A showed no sign of being affected by the blocked keywords.
He easily subdued Song Qifang and said coldly, “Do you think I need to prepare for someone like you?”
“Cough cough! Do you think I wanted to?” Song Qifang struggled and coughed a few times, then suddenly became agitated, “I dedicated my whole life to Zhuang Country! Why wouldn’t they give me the resources I deserve? To let me linger before the Gate of Heaven and Earth, day and night, year after year! I…!”
His throat was crushed, along with the sounds he couldn’t utter.
Dong A casually lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace and threw his body inside.
Song Qifang probably still wanted to express his anger, his unwillingness, to say why he chose the White Bone Dao, why he betrayed Zhuang Country… There must have been a lifetime of entanglement and suffering within him.
But Dong A didn’t want to listen at all.
Having easily dealt with Song Qifang, Dong A’s expression remained solemn.
He could fully imagine the tragic scene that Mapleforest City was in at this moment.
He could also clearly hear the panicked cries of the disciples in the Taoist Academy.
He heard someone shout:
“Help!”
“Hurry and save people!”
There were also cries of:
“Headmaster! Headmaster! Where are you, Headmaster?”
He knew every student and instructor in the Taoist Academy, and he knew their strengths and personalities.
He even imagined what Jiang Wang would do, what Ling He would do, what Huang Azhan would do, what Xiao Tiemian would do in the face of this disaster…
Of course, he could also hear Wei Quji’s angry roar and feel the despair of the entire city.
But he just sat there, motionless.
He never went out.
Northwest of the city, further west from Dujia Town, finally reached the border of Mapleforest City’s domain.
Deacon Li exerted the last of his strength and pushed Fang Heling out of the domain.
During the previous breakout, they had encountered an interception by the White Bone Dao. Deacon Li had suffered serious injuries to defeat his opponent.
He had held on by sheer willpower until now, finally completing his old friend’s request. He collapsed to the ground.
“Uncle Li!” Fang Heling knelt on the ground and shouted across the increasingly clear array patterns.
Even shedding real tears.
It wasn’t that he originally had any deep feelings for Deacon Li, but at this moment, Deacon Li was his only support, his only remaining psychological pillar.
His father was blocked keywords, the Fang family was gone, the entire Mapleforest City was gone, he had nothing left.
But his wailing only earned him a mouthful of thick phlegm.
“Pui!”
Deacon Li cursed, “You good-for-nothing! Finally, the keywords must be blocked, I can finally scold you. Your father wouldn’t let me scold you. He said you couldn’t take the blow, and told me to take the dirty words to the coffin.”
He gasped for breath, his voice getting weaker and weaker, “Damn it, you idiot, moron, useless piece of trash…”
The cursing finally faded into silence.
But each word, like a knife and hammer, struck his heart.
High above Mapleforest City.
Wei Yan and Shen Nanqi had both died in battle. With Zhang Linchuan’s full power, Lu Yan was able to control the formation without interference.
The White Bone Dao had been preparing for this day for decades, starting long before Wei Quji had even come to Mapleforest City.
Of course, Song Qifang’s help was indispensable. Everything was carried out silently.
After years of planting seeds, the time had now come to reap the harvest.
Ouyang Lie’s commotion in Yun Country was just a smokescreen to temporarily obscure the threat of the White Bone Dao.
Everyone knew that the White Bone Dao could never carry out any major actions with their strongest combat power absent, so the incident deliberately created by the White Bone Dao became the best opportunity.
Because the White Bone Dao’s strongest combat power had never been absent.
Even high-level members of the sect were not fully aware before the operation began. Many people really thought that Ouyang Lie was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
That was why he was able to trap Du Ruhui at Flying Peak.
Throughout Zhuang Country, Du Ruhui, who possessed the magical power of “Shrinking the Earth to an Inch,” was the biggest variable. By trapping him, the biggest interference to the entire plan was removed.
For this scene today, the White Bone Dao had almost exhausted everything, all the accumulation of hundreds of years of disappearing and hiding.
They were determined to achieve a success unseen for hundreds of years.
The Huanzhen Temple incident before was a rehearsal, but it was disrupted by Zuo Guanglie, who suddenly escaped there and started a great battle.
Li Yi’s sword came from the west, and no one dared to approach.
They had to give up that time.
Then there was the larger-scale Xiaolin Town operation.
Now, under Lu Yan’s manipulation, countless souls and tangible negative emotions were all converging on the same place.
That place was Xiaolin Town!
The Xiaolin Town that shook the Mingzhu and made Jiang Wang feel fear.
The White Bone Dao’s Xiaolin Town operation at the time was ostensibly to condense the Gate of Hell phantom, and it did indeed forge this Nether treasure.
But for the White Bone Dao, there was a deeper purpose.
While everyone was focusing on the Gate of Hell phantom and pouring attention into the White Bone Dao, they overlooked Xiaolin Town itself.
The reason for choosing to condense the Gate of Hell phantom in Xiaolin Town was actually to anchor the location of the present world in order to descend from the Nine Hells to the human realm.
The being who returned from the Nine Hells could only be, and was only possible to be, the White Bone Divine!
