Sitting in a chair, he said to them, "I will give you three days. If you cannot figure out the mystery of the array in the 'Cong' body mirror and the array in Chi Yu's hands, then according to your original plan, I will be the array eye of your strangulation array to slaughter the evil god."
Master Qinghu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Did my disciple request this himself?"
During this time, they had already realized that this ghost and Yu Tang had a very close relationship.
Given that kid's temperament, how could he possibly go back on his word and continue to let the ghosts and gods be the core of the formation?
"Yes..." Qin Junyang said, "Even with all our efforts this time, we can only damage the surface of the evil god, not its foundation."
"Moreover, once his identity is exposed, he will naturally come to Qingnan Mountain to seek revenge, and the Buddha Bell will not be able to stop him for long."
"Therefore, the best course of action is to continue as before if no better solution is found within three days."
"Sacrifice a small portion of us to slay the evil god and break the formation that will overthrow the world."
When he said these words, his voice was calmer than he had expected.
Only after I finished speaking did I realize it.
In the end, he became the kind of liar he hated most.
Chapter 30
The villain is resurrected for the ninth time (30)
Qin Junyang's guess was correct; the evil god that appeared in the Dark Abyss was just an avatar.
The power is only half.
However, this had already forced Qin Junyang and Yu Tang to use all their strength to deal with it.
After suffering a setback at Yu Tang's hands, the evil god finally abandoned his joking attitude and became thoroughly enraged.
They arrived at Qingnan Mountain that very evening.
Waves of force bombarded the Buddha Bell, causing the entire Qingnan Mountain to tremble violently.
Qin Junyang walked out of the Star Gazing Hall and sat directly below the Buddha Bell. The Heaven-Slaying Sword flew into the air, using Qin Junyang's power to fight against the evil god.
Meanwhile, the fellow disciples, led by Nan Hong, sat cross-legged inside the Buddha Bell, channeling their own power into the artifact to buy time for Master Qinghu and the others to conduct their research.
These disciples, who are usually so carefree and jovial, have not yet turned a deserter.
As Taoist priests of Qingnan Mountain, they are taught from a young age to take the safety and well-being of the world as their own responsibility.
Perhaps no one will ever know what they did until their death, nor will anyone build temples or shrines for them to praise their achievements.
But that's their way.
Only by having a clear conscience can one be worthy of praise.
Three days and two nights later, just as the defense of the Buddha Bell was on the verge of collapse, the formation was finally deciphered.
However, it wasn't a perfect outcome.
"You need to integrate the 'Turning Mirror' and the array diagram in your hand, and then become the core of the strangulation array."
"Although you will be severely weakened in the end, you can 'encase' your primordial spirit in the mirror, recuperate, and sleep for a thousand years until a destined person awakens you."
Qin Junyang gripped the mirror tightly in his hand and asked Master Qinghu in a deep voice, "And what about you?"
"We..." Master Qinghu and the elders exchanged a smile and said, "We are all old bones, and being able to integrate into the formation to kill the evil god has always been our lifelong obsession."
Now that it's finally possible, we're overjoyed, so please don't worry about us.
After Master Qinghu finished speaking, he instructed the elders to begin the battle.
Then he looked up at the dark, cloud-covered sky and the rampant evil god.
He said to Qin Junyang, "Lord Ghost God, you lied to us before, didn't you?"
Qin Junyang looked slightly taken aback.
He did not make a sound.
Master Qinghu, however, seemed to have guessed as much as he had expected, and said, "I haven't seen my little apprentice for the past three days."
"He's probably been 'locked up' by you."
“We saw that you were worried about him getting hurt again, which is why you suggested becoming the key to the formation.”
"But no matter what, we still need to say goodbye..."
The old man turned to Qin Junyang and said, "I have already told Nan Hong that when we activate the formation and it becomes irreversible, we will wake him up so that you can say a proper goodbye."
"Otherwise... I'm afraid he might do something drastic later and hate you..."
Qin Junyang dug his fingernails into his palm, stung by the word "hate" from Daoist Qinghu.
After a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay..."
The Buddha Bell and the Heaven-Slaying Sword were removed together and distributed with the other divine artifacts in the four directions of the activated strangulation formation.
The evil god, unaware that the great formation had taken shape, cursed, "A bunch of cowards! After hiding from me for so many years, you've finally decided to come out and fight!"
"Your masters and grandmasters all died at my hands. Today, you will all follow in their footsteps!"
Master Qinghu's Taoist robe fluttered in the wind, but upon seeing the evil god's arrogant demeanor, he revealed a relieved smile.
After handing the 'Mirror' to Qin Junyang, he leaped to his position and shouted, "The twenty-third disciple of Qingnan Mountain, heed my command!"
"Form hand seals—"
Chapter 31
The villain was resurrected for the ninth time (31)
"Junior Brother! Junior Brother!" Nan Hong burst through the door this time.
He took out a drop of blood that Qin Junyang had given him and placed it on Yu Tang's forehead.
The drop of blood quickly seeped into the skin, instantly igniting the soul fire that Qin Junyang had injected into Yu Tang's body.
This allowed Yu Tang, who was trapped, to regain consciousness.
"Ha..." Yu Tang opened his eyes, sat up, and breathed rapidly.
He clutched at his chest, where soul fire burned, but the flames were visibly shrinking.
"Senior Brother, what are you doing in my room?!"
Yu Tang, still groggy, recognized Nan Hong's anxious expression and subconsciously asked...
"Where are the ghosts and gods?!"
"Come with me right now!" Nan Hong pulled him up. "I'll explain on the way!"
Yu Tang hurriedly got up, and before Nan Hong could speak, Xiao Jin had already connected with him and explained everything.
Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he cursed, "That big idiot!"
He overtook Nan Hong and arrived at the side of the great formation at top speed.
At this moment, the strangulation formation had already enveloped the seventeen elders, including Daoist Qinghu, as well as the evil god, forming a space that they could not enter!
Qin Junyang was right in the center of this space.
Its form had become semi-transparent, as if it might disappear at any moment.
"Qin Junyang—"
Yu Tang's shout pierced through the unsoundproof space, causing Qin Junyang's eyes, which were about to lose focus, to regain a faint light.
He stared blankly at the person who had come to him, and after a moment of confusion, he came to his senses.
“Yutang…”
He recalled what Master Qinghu had said, and a great deal of fear welled up in his heart.
He tried his best to make his voice heard by Yu Tang.
"sorry……"
"I lied to you..."
"What's the use of saying sorry now?!" Yu Tang was unmoved, pounding hard on the spatial barrier and saying, "Let me tell you, Qin Junyang, I'm angry! And I'm not going to be coaxed! You'd better deal with it yourself!"
Qin Junyang's pupils dilated slightly as he heard that Yu Tang was still willing to talk to him and still willing to joke around with him like this.
Suddenly, she pouted and started to cry.
But this cry was the only way to release all the guilt and worry that had been building up over the past three days.
Yu Tang knew him well and understood why he was crying.
She was both angry and heartbroken, and snapped, "How dare you cry?"
"You told me you hated liars the most, but now you've chosen to become a liar yourself. How can I trust you anymore?!"
The formation was nearing its end, and the evil god screamed, cursing the Taoist priests and Qin Junyang.
Qin Junyang could barely make a sound, but his eyes remained fixed on Yu Tang, as if trying to etch Yu Tang's image deep into his heart.
Looking at him like this, Yu Tang took a deep breath.
Finally, she shouted out what she wanted to tell this person.
"Qin Junyang! You better heal your body in the 'Mirror of the Body'! We will meet again a thousand years from now! If you dare to forget me then, don't expect me to forgive you!"
"Nod if you understand!"
Qin Junyang opened his eyes wide, glistening with tears, then smiled and nodded emphatically.
Finally, after the evil god was completely destroyed, they all turned into smoke and sank into the "Mirror".
Yu Tang wiped away her tears and followed Nan Hong, bidding farewell to the Taoist priests along with all the disciples of Qingnan Mountain, seeing them off.
No ordinary people knew about this war.
But the Taoist priests left without any regrets.
Afterwards, all five artifacts were left at the Qingnan Mountain Taoist Temple.
Nan Hong became the new master and inherited the Buddha Bell and the Thunder Drum.
