Chapter 358 Death and Debt?
Hearing Meng Zhou's inquiry, the dejected Mingnan Ancestor looked over.
In his eyes, there was an indescribable grievance.
And on the deck next to Mingnan Old Ancestor, the corpse of Guangcheng Old Ancestor with a flowering head was lying there stiffly.
Seeing this, Meng Zhou's gaze paused for a moment on this corpse.
It seems that Mingnan Ancestor really has a deep affection for this old friend.
The eyes of the others were also full of regret.
An ancestor of the Danqi Sect shook his head and said, "This trip is in vain. ”
The other monks also nodded lightly with wistful expressions.
The fundamental purpose of everyone's trip is not to target the phantom images of the gods of hatred, but those void god crystals.
If Guangcheng Ancestor is in the same state as last time, then it's okay.
It is that the Void God Crystal is all embedded in the soul of Guangcheng Ancestor, and they still have a way to take out the Void God Crystal without worrying about Guangcheng Ancestor himself's life or death.
But the problem now is, let alone the soul.
Guangcheng Ancestor, who "blossomed" on his forehead and eyebrows, even Zhihai had already blown up.
Naturally, there is no other way to talk about it.
As the ancestor of the Danqi Sect said, everyone's trip is really in vain.
Just when everyone was gloomy, an ancestor of the Jinding Sect snorted and said:
"Run for nothing, run for nothing, at least everyone must come out with all their tails."
He's pretty self-explanatory.
When Ming Nan Ancestor heard this, he glanced at him, although he had different opinions in his heart, he didn't have the heart to refute it now.
The Void God Crystal was the most immediate effect for him, as well as several Dan Weapon Sect Ancestors.
For others, the effect is less straightforward.
In particular, the Jin Ding Sect has achieved all its achievements, and its dependence on external objects is the least among the five sects.
Because of this, everyone's frustration with the empty hand of this trip is also different.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"I think there's still a chance."
When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at the speaker.
The person who said this was none other than "Qi Huangzi".
Everyone's expressions were shocked.
If this had been said by someone else, the reaction would not have been so great.
But "Qi Huangzi" is different.
Unconsciously, "Qi Huangzi" has a unique position in everyone's hearts.
The weight of what he said was naturally different from that of others.
But the wonderful thing is that in terms of the relationship between each other, the relationship between everyone and "Qi Huangzi" is the most alienated.
Mingnan Ancestor couldn't wait to ask: "Opportunity?" Where are the opportunities? ”
Meng Zhoudao:
"The most critical reason for the twists and turns in this action against that thing is that whenever 'he' falls into the disadvantage, or is about to be completely wiped out by everyone's arrangement, there will always be a loud noise in 'him' body."
As he spoke, Meng Zhou asked, "What do you think about this loud noise?" ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes showed a contemplative look.
Before, the core of everyone's attention was all on the matter of "this trip was in vain and returned empty-handed".
As for the changes that occurred in the conflict between the two sides, no one has thought about the changes that occurred on the phantom of the Statue of the Hatred God.
At this moment, after being reminded by "Qi Huangzi", everyone's attention is focused on this part.
When everyone began to think about this matter seriously, it was not difficult to find the pattern.
That loud noise would quickly restore the bad state of the Idol of Hatred.
The more frequent and dense the loud noises occur, the better their state will be.
Soon, everyone's memories were frozen in the last loud bang almost at the same time.
And that last time did not happen in the phantom of the Statue of Hatred, but in the altar beneath it.
With that loud bang, the state of the Statue of Hatred improved again.
The price was the destruction of the incense burner offered on the altar, along with the entire altar.
Thinking of this, everyone was stunned, and each other's eyes intertwined and collided in the air.
None of the monks present were stupid.
Before, everyone's minds didn't turn around, but now if they haven't turned the corner, it's really stupid.
Almost at the same time, everyone thought of a possibility.
Ming Nan Ancestor couldn't wait to ask directly: "That loud noise coming from 'him' body, is it also the sound of the altar collapsing elsewhere?" ”
Meng Zhou nodded.
After a pause, Meng Zhou added and explained:
"Although that thing is different from us cultivators, I believe that there is a common truth.
His restoration at every critical moment always has a price and a source, and it cannot come out of nowhere. ”
Everyone nodded their heads, quite approving with this explanation.
If the Phantom of the Statue of the Hate God really had the ability to push the left foot on the right foot and increase in place, they would not be able to leave with all their tails.
There was excitement and doubt in the eyes of Mingnan Old Ancestor.
"Didn't you say that there are likely to be Void God Crystals in those places?"
In the past, it is not uncommon for everyone to try to "salvage" the Void God Crystal in those altar incense burners during the non-harvest period.
But all of them ended in failure.
Or you can't even get into the incense burner.
Even if they tried their best to get into the incense burner, they didn't get anything.
It's not that everyone hasn't thought of using more violent means, such as directly destroying the altar and smashing the incense burner to see.
But firstly, they don't want to make such a big splash and pull the hatred too hard, and secondly, they don't have much confidence in this because of the successive failed attempts.
"Anyway, it's always good to take a look."
After Meng Zhou said this, he closed his eyes and didn't say anything more.
He felt that by turning the point here, he had done his duty.
Otherwise, you can't really tell them, "I have seen these things with my own eyes, go and you will definitely reap the rewards."
For the first time, there was a loud noise in the phantom body of the Statue of Hatred, and then the state quickly recovered, and Meng Zhou pondered.
Soon, he found the reason.
One side happened to pass through a "clear round mirror" above a third-order evil vein, and "saw" an altar that was extremely hidden, but there was nothing hidden in his field of vision, and it was no longer in the same complete form as before.
The altar was torn apart, and the incense burner offered on the altar was reduced to a pile of fragments scattered everywhere.
At the same time, he also "saw" a lot of Void God Crystals scattered around the collapsed altar.
Meng Zhou, who was surprised in his heart, quickly intervened in the manipulation of many "Transparent Round Mirrors".
Those "Transparent Circle Mirrors" that were closest to the third-order evil veins in various places immediately terminated their original trajectory and quickly approached the area where those altars were located.
Then, Meng Zhou "saw" that every time there was a loud noise in the phantom of the Statue of Hatred, an altar collapsed.
The altar was torn apart, and the censer burst open from the inside out.
The Void God Crystals also sputtered away in all directions with the explosion of the incense burner.
In terms of numbers, there are many and few, and the number of those who only came to harvest the phantom of the god of hatred not long ago is very small.
On the contrary, those who are not far from the next harvest will have a much larger number of Void God Crystals.
In the end, as the Idol of Separation of Hates also collapsed the altar under "Him", there was no complete altar of the Statue of Hatred within the Five Domains.
For a moment, Meng Zhou had the idea of taking all these Void God Crystals for himself.
It's not a hassle for him.
He didn't even need to go there himself, he just needed to think about it.
However, Meng Zhou soon took the initiative to extinguish this thought.
These Void God Crystals may be of great value to Ming Nan Ancestor and others, but in his case, the value is very average.
Because he didn't have the idea of taking a shortcut with the Void God Crystal.
The dozens of Void God Crystals that were accidentally harvested by treating Guangcheng Ancestor last time are still "eating ashes" in the Linghu space.
Hoarding more, there is no greater point than a few more valuable collections.
There is no need for this.
Again, whether it was using the "Transparent Circle Mirror" to collect those Void God Crystals remotely, or personally going to the locations of those altars to collect them one by one, even if he disposed of his traces very properly, it would be unwise in this special period when the Yuan Infant of the Star Palace could come anytime and anywhere.
Rather than that, it is better to give these Void God Crystals to those who are more in need.
It can also distract the attention of the Nakshatra Palace.
……
After getting the reminder of "Qi Huangzi", everyone made eye contact, and decided to take a look after the action was completed.
Yes, after the action.
Their actions are not over yet.
According to the strategy agreed upon at the beginning, their real action was to inflict a thunderous blow on the four hidden forces loyal to the Star Palace, including the Qiao clan of the Spirit Control Domain.
As fast as possible, before the Nakshatra does not react, turn it into a "blind man".
In this more than a month, all the preliminary preparations have been made.
Aside from them, the top leaders of the various sects almost left everything else behind and devoted all their efforts to this aspect.
Once their operation to rob the Void God Crystal was over, no matter whether they succeeded or failed, they would immediately launch a thunderous strike in the four domains except for the Qingxuan Domain.
In order to avoid disturbance, their actions in the four domains were carried out at the same time according to the time agreed in advance.
With the recovery of the ancestor of the Danqi Sect who blew up the natal flying sword, the ancestor of the Jinding Sect who was still a "dry corpse" not long ago, and the two ancestors of the Hehuan Sect.
Everyone quickly completed the grouping.
The twenty-three people, except for Meng Zhou, were divided into four groups.
Three of the groups are all six people, and the combination of strength and weakness is very even.
There were only five people in one group, but they were no weaker than the other three.
Interestingly, in order to ensure that all sects were bloody, this grouping did not maximize combat power.
For example, if the five Qingye of Qingxuan Sect can stay in one group, then there is no doubt that the strength they can exert is far stronger than that scattered in each group.
Another example is that the two monks of the Hehuan Sect act together, which is far stronger than scattering actions.
But no.
They are all divided into groups to contain and restrain each other.
The purpose is also very simple, no one wants to become someone else's vote for the Star Palace completely because of the imbalance of a certain group of forces.
Just when the four groups of people were about to part ways, rush to the four regions, and start an operation.
Meng Zhou also stood up and nodded to everyone:
"Then I'll go first."
Anyway, regardless of the fact that the spaceship was still speeding in the Gangfeng layer, his figure had already stepped out and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
There are those who want to open their mouths to keep them, or say something, but they can only open their mouths in vain.
According to the information provided by "Qi Huangzi", although the strength of the four secret forces is strong, it is far from being comparable to the five sects.
Among the five sects, one sect is taken out at random, and for these four secret forces, it is all crushing-level powerful.
The core of the five sects' concerns has never been "whether they can be destroyed", but "whether they can be quickly wiped out with the momentum of ploughing and sweeping the cave before the Star Palace reacts".
And everyone is very confident in this.
Originally, everyone may also be worried about the authenticity of the information provided by "Qi Huangzi", whether it may be a trap or something.
But with more than a month of preparation, they also used their own strength to review the information and verify its accuracy.
In this case, it doesn't matter if there is a super pharmacist like "Qi Huangzi" to press the bottom line.
Moreover, there is a more important point, it is really difficult to coordinate the four groups of a "Qi Huangzi" when they cannot be evenly divided.
Everyone has been struggling with this for a long time.
Just now, each group was still competing openly and secretly.
Now it's good, "Qi Huangzi" gives an optimal solution.
You guys go play, we won't be involved in the rest of the action.
Everyone withdrew their gaze from afar and looked at each other.
Mingnan Ancestor sighed: "This farewell, I don't know when I will be able to see you again." ”
As for the plan after the destruction of the four secret forces, everyone tacitly did not mention it, nor did they inquire about each other.
Because as you know, what will happen next will be a more brutal survival game - "hide and seek".
On the one hand, they have to deal with the star palace after leaving the mountain.
On the other hand, they are also in competition with each other.
……
Meng Zhou felt a burst of relief.
But at the same time, there was a faint regret in his heart.
This regret is not because of the separation from Yin Youyi and others, but because of Guangcheng Ancestor.
No one will know that Meng Zhou's attention to the corpse of Guangcheng Ancestor with a "flowering head" exceeds all the attention paid to the twenty-three living people such as Mingnan Ancestor and Yin Youyi combined.
Several times, Meng Zhou wanted to directly squat on the deck to verify whether his current mastery of the skill of "flesh and blood rebirth" could be resurrected.
He had even gone over and over again in his mind about the specific treatment process.
It was not easy to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and before leaving, he almost couldn't help but want to ask Mingnan Ancestor to ask Guangcheng Ancestor for the corpse.
It's not just about holding a hammer in your hand and wanting to knock on a nail when you see it.
It is indeed that the sample of Guangcheng Ancestor is too scarce and too unique.
"If I resurrect him, will the secret method of Ming Nan Ancestor control it still exist?"
Although there was no actual verification, Meng Zhou relied on his comprehension of the Spirit Control Sect, and he felt that if Guangcheng Ancestor really came back from the dead, there was a high probability that Mingnan Ancestor's secret method would be invalid.
The so-called "death of people and debts". (End of chapter)
