Chapter 376: The Passage to the Shadow World

Chapter 376: The Passage to the Shadow World

Although all of Huiren's Buddhist cultivators are not weak in cultivation, they have been trapped in the hothouse of the Pure Land world all their lives. The only people they come into contact with are Buddhist cultivators. Their experiences are simple and their thoughts are relatively simple.

Faced with this situation, I really couldn't make up my mind for a while.

It is absolutely impossible for them to ignore the lives of millions of people.

Huiren asked Mo Tudao: "According to the benefactor's wishes, I don't agree to release the demon girl. If they really massacre the people, how should we deal with it?"

Mo Tu pointed out the key for him and said: "Those love slaves outside are not murderous demon cultivators. They only have one purpose of holding people hostage, which is to save Tianxiang. If killing people can save Tianxiang, they will do it without hesitation. But if killing people can't save Tianxiang, they won't kill people for no reason.

“If we compromise, they will continue to blackmail us into making more concessions, and if we don’t agree, they may kill some people to force us to compromise.

"So we have to show our attitude from the beginning and let them know that exchanging tens of millions of people for Tianxiang is a deal that we cannot accept."

Huiren thought about it for a moment, and then asked: "Then what exactly should we do?"

"We don't do anything," Motu said.

Huiren was puzzled and looked confused.

Li Xiuchang listened and roughly understood what Senior Brother Motu meant.

He explained for Huiren: "Although these love slaves are good in strength, they are inferior to me, Senior Brother Mo, and Master Huiren. Normally speaking, if you don't care about those millions of people, now They should be eliminated.

"But now we do nothing, neither release incense nor kill them, which shows our attitude. We only spared them because we considered the lives of tens of millions of people.

"In other words, if there were not millions of people as hostages, none of those love slaves would survive! Saving their lives now is the biggest compromise we have made. If they still dare to kill people, then we will also Start killing them."

Huiren also understood that originally the love slaves wanted to exchange millions of people for Tianxiang, but according to Motu's wishes, the love slaves used millions of people as hostages to save their own lives.

Once the love slaves massacred the people, they began to massacre the love slaves.

It is also through this method that passiveness becomes active.

Let the love slaves fall into a decision-making process. Should they kill the hostage or not?

Killing the hostages will not save Tianxiang, but they themselves will be buried with them.

As Motu said, these love slaves are not murderous demons, they are extremely purposeful and will do anything to save Tianxiang.

But if something can't help them save Tianxiang, and it's not what they want to do, then they have no reason to do it.

If they don't kill the hostages, they can at least save their lives for the time being and wait for the opportunity.

Huiren frowned and said, "Although this can temporarily keep the people safe, it will also lead to a complete deadlock. It is not a long-term solution. How can we break the situation in the end?"

Love slaves do not kill hostages, nor do they release hostages. Similarly, Li Xiuchang and the others do not release Tianxiang, and they cannot kill love slaves.

The two sides fell into such a stalemate.

When is the end?

Motu said coldly: "It's easy to break the situation, just kill Tianxiang."

Killing Tianxiang will cut off all the love slaves, and the love slaves will disperse.

Li Xiuchang said: "I have asked Senior Brother Chen Changsheng to contact Ye Yuqiu and urge Chu Ya to cut off his love as soon as possible. Once his love is cut off, Tianxiang will die."

Although he said this, Li Xiuchang knew that once the love slaves actually massacred the hostages, Brother Motu would immediately kill Tianxiang in advance.

How could they really not care about the lives of millions of people?

Not agreeing to exchange Tianxiang was just a deliberately tough gesture.

But Li Xiuchang suspected that their plan might have been discovered by the divination master among the love slaves.

But it doesn’t matter, so what if you have insight into it?

They just want the fortune teller to figure it out!

"Release the Tianxiang" has never been an option among their options.

If the love slave doesn't kill the hostage, then it will be wasted.

If the love slave kills the hostage, then they will kill Tianxiang directly.

This was a conspiracy. If the divination master had figured it out, he should have restrained the love slaves from harming the hostages, otherwise Tianxiang would also be buried with him.

Li Xiuchang and Motu had both calculated this, so they were even more certain that their plan would succeed and no hostages would be harmed.

Sure enough, after Monk Huiren rejected the love slaves' request to exchange hostages, the two parties fell into a tacit silence.

It seemed that a truce period had been reached, and no further action was taken for a while.

Li Xiuchang could only wait, wait for senior brother Chen Changsheng to build a new teleportation array to the outside world, and wait for good news to come from Chu Ya.

…

To say who is the busiest among the small team in Donggeng District, it is Chen Changsheng.

A clone of him stayed in Donggeng District, setting up a teleportation array leading to the Pure Land Realm.

Now he learned that the Pure Land Realm was invaded by a large number of love slaves, which forced him to temporarily change the location of the teleportation array.

Originally, he wanted to build the other end of the teleportation array in Donggeng District this time, but once Tianxiang died, those love slaves would inevitably leave the Pure Land Realm, and he could not just leave them in the Pure Land Realm.

At that time, they can only be allowed to leave through the teleportation array.

It is obviously unwise to let them enter the Donggeng District through the teleportation array. It is even better not to let them enter the Immortal Shadow Realm.

So Chen Changsheng could only go to other worlds to find a hidden place to build a teleportation array.

Chen Changsheng's other clone was now flying between the sea and the sky with Zhang Wanzhi and others, looking for the whereabouts of the mysterious man.

Chen Changsheng's original body was not idle either, and came to the vicinity of Xianyin to observe the changes in Xianyin.

Xianyin has exploded and expanded again in the past two days. Although it was only once, and the diameter expanded by hundreds of meters, it completely made the big and small sects in the Xianyin world uneasy.

Abnormal explosive expansion, and now the speed of Xianyin's expansion is much faster than before. If this continues, the big and small forces in the Xianyin world really need to prepare a retreat in advance.

There must be a reason for the abnormal outbreak of Xianyin, but just observing from the outside, it is certain that nothing can be seen.

The four major immortal gates all know that they must send people into Xianyin to find out.

Finally, several elders of the four major immortal gates who are not long for life formed an "elderly group" and entered Xianyin from different directions to explore.

Chen Changsheng was such a cautious person that he naturally would not risk his real body, so he arranged for a clone to enter the Immortal Shade.

The outer area of ​​the Immortal Shade did not seem to have any abnormalities. In fact, due to the recent expansion of the Immortal Shade, the dangers in the outer area were even less frequent. Except for the dim light, it was not much different from the outside world.

"Compared to the past, it feels safer."

The monsters and wandering corpses in the outer area are even rarer.

Of course, for powerful cultivators, the biggest danger in the Immortal Shade has never come from monsters and wandering corpses, but from falling into the mysterious shadow world inexplicably.     Chen Changsheng knew that the abnormality of the Immortal Shade must come from the core area, and there was no hope of finding anything in the periphery.

So he also went straight to the core area.

On the way, he found a lot of recent traces, not from monsters and wandering corpses, but from human cultivators.

"There are so many people active in the Immortal Shade recently?"

Chen Changsheng frowned. The Immortal Shade was notorious, and the native cultivators of the Immortal Shade world were afraid to avoid it. How could so many people enter it?

He thought of a group of people, the remnants of the demon sect who had managed to escape at that time.

The demon sect forces in the Xianyin world were almost wiped out, and only a small group of demon cultivators escaped into the Xianyin and saved their lives.

However...

"It has been so long, how can those people survive in the Xianyin until now?"

Chen Changsheng also thought of a possibility: "These traces, could they be left by Tianxiang's love slaves?"

The exact number of love slaves is unknown, but it is certain that the main force that attacked the Xianchen Sect at that time was not the main force.

Everything is just speculation, Chen Changsheng continued to explore the core area.

However, before he arrived at the core area, he saw a huge beast tide, spreading in all directions with the momentum of sweeping everything.

"They are all monsters in the Xianyin, or in other words, they are all monsters from the shadow world, how can there be so many!"

This wave of beast tide was overwhelming and endless, Chen Changsheng only saw a corner, the number of monsters was immeasurable.

In the past, the total number of monsters in Xianyin may not be so many. This wave of beasts is obviously unusual. It is very likely that it has just emerged from the shadow world.

Chen Changsheng thought about it, hid his body directly, and disappeared out of thin air.

He chose to go forward against the beast tide to explore the source of the beast tide and see what happened there.

Chen Changsheng was not the only one who discovered the beast tide. The old elders sent by the four major immortal sects into Xianyin also encountered the beast tide.

Their strength was much worse than Chen Changsheng. They had no confidence and means to resist the beast tide, so they chose to retreat.

Although these elders were ready to die when they entered Xianyin, this beast tide was obviously invincible, and they did not want to give up their lives in vain without investigating anything.

Several old elders rushed out of Xianyin at the fastest speed, but they did not actually pull too far away from the beast tide behind them.

They reported the news to the four great immortal sects who were guarding outside: "There is a beast tide in the Immortal Shade..."

However, they didn't need to say much. In the thunderous roar, the earth trembled, and a large number of monsters rushed out of the Immortal Shade like a tide, and the surrounding trees were instantly crushed to pieces...

The beast tide rushed out!

The masters of the four great immortal sects were stunned for a moment.

Everyone knew that there was danger in the Immortal Shade, but there has always been a consensus that the danger in the Immortal Shade only stays in the Immortal Shade, and once you leave the Immortal Shade, you will be safe.

No matter whether it is a monster or a wandering corpse in the Immortal Shade, it will never leave the Immortal Shade.

But this time it was very abnormal, the beast tide actually rushed out of the Immortal Shade!

That would threaten the entire Immortal Shade world!

In an instant, everyone knew the seriousness of the matter. Once these monsters were allowed to break in recklessly, it would cause great suffering to all living beings, whether they were cultivators or mortals, they would suffer.

"Hurry up and request reinforcements!"

"Mobilize all the elders and above in the sect to defend against the beast tide!"

The beast tide is endless, and no one knows when it will end. We can only do our best to defend.

And we must stop the beast tide near Xianyin and never let it spread out.

However, on the one hand, the beast tide covers a wide range and there are many of them, so the four major sects are inevitably short of manpower. On the other hand, the recent frequent incidents make it even more difficult to allocate manpower.

Some time ago, the Qingnu attacked the Xianchen Sect, causing all the forces of the entire Xianyin world to feel insecure. The four major sects sent a lot of people to assist those small and medium-sized forces in setting up control and defense.

And there must be enough defensive forces in the sect to prevent the love slaves hiding in the dark from making a comeback and attacking the four major sects again.

Although Tianxiang has been moved away, the love slaves have no reason to attack the four major sects, but the people of the four major sects do not know this yet, and their own base camps must be protected at all times and cannot be relaxed.

In short, no matter what, the appearance of the beast tide still shocked the major forces in the entire Xianyin world, and they drew forces to stop the beast tide.

Chen Changsheng's original body saw everything and continued to control the clone to find the source of the beast tide.

If the beast tide can be stopped at the source, it can be regarded as a disaster.

He shuttled through the beast tide all the way, upstream, and carefully concealed his breath.

This wave of beast tide is not weak. Once exposed, his clone will be crushed instantly.

Therefore, the closer he got to the core area, the more difficult it was for him to move, and his speed slowed down accordingly.

Finally, he saw the source of the beast tide from afar. There was a huge space crack in the air, flashing with dazzling light.

The light was so dazzling in the dark fairy shade, like the sun, and could be seen at a glance.

Countless monsters rushed out of the flashing crack, spreading in all directions, and gathered into a continuous beast tide.

"This is the source of the beast tide. How to close this crack?" Chen Changsheng observed and thought.

He soon discovered something and found something familiar around the crack - the formation!

He narrowed his eyes and recognized the function of the formation.

The main function of this formation is to warm and nourish, collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to warm the things in the formation.

The purpose of putting it here is to warm the crack!

This formation is not formed naturally, and these monsters in the fairy shade obviously don't know how to form a formation. Needless to say, someone did it on purpose.

Someone wanted to grow this crack, and succeeded, causing this violent beast tide.

That crack, which was probably just a small one, and even impassable, has now grown into a huge crack that can support the beast tide.

Chen Changsheng looked at the crack with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

He wondered if the crack led to the shadow world?

These monsters that emerged completely matched the characteristics of the monsters in Xianyin, and most likely came from the shadow world.

If he entered the shadow world through the crack at this time, could he uncover the mystery of the shadow world? Figure out the mysteries that have troubled them for a long time?

Even, can he save Wang Jingxing?

Chen Changsheng hesitated for a moment and carefully moved towards the crack.
