Chapter 2414, let's go! What are you being so polite about?
Mother Earth looked at the fog that filled the entire city; there were no more flashes of light.
This is a divine power it possesses, drawn from Jade Capital City, making it exceptionally sensitive to secret realms. No secret realm can escape the illumination of the mist.
Mother Earth has a lot of confidence in herself.
However, after destroying the fake secret realm, there were no sparks in the Panlong Ruins, not a single one.
Those things tainted by the aura of the Panlong Secret Realm have all been unearthed by the demons, and the interfering factors have been eliminated.
Where exactly is the entrance to the Panlong Secret Realm?
As Mother Earth was pondering, the Bear King uttered those words aloud.
"Shut up." It's too noisy!
But the Bear King muttered the next sentence: "Are you trying to trick us again?"
"You..." Mother Earth was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, but the words caught in her throat. "Liar?"
A thought flashed through its mind: "Hmm, a lie! You're right!"
"Oh, oh?" The Bear King was completely confused. What did it say right?
"The person who set up the fake secret realm has been trying to buy time!" Mother Earth said slowly. "But after I exposed the fake secret realm, the real secret realm was not detected by the mist. Why?"
It speaks slowly, but its mind works incredibly fast.
The Bear King could only repeat himself: "Why?"
"Is it possible that the real Panlong Secret Realm has already—" The Earth Mother said, then suddenly burst into laughter, "So that's it! So that's it! No wonder he tried so hard to buy time!"
"So, besides me, there are other people who can reset the secret realm!"
Before breaking through the false secret realm, Mother Earth had never given this much thought:
What if the Panlong Secret Realm has disappeared? The fact that the mist cannot be detected doesn't mean it's well hidden; it means it no longer exists!
If the secret realm disappears, what's left in the local area?
Only the Panlong Ruins and the Dafanghu remain!
The most ingenious thing is that without the connection of the secret realm, the link between the two will inevitably weaken.
The Bear King grumbled, "Reset?"
What does "reset the secret realm" mean?
Mother Earth was too lazy to explain, while the Cyclops King beside her tilted his head. He certainly didn't seem very bright, so even when deep in thought, he appeared to be daydreaming.
Having figured out this oddity, and given the Earth Mother's profound understanding of the secret realm, she could naturally continue deducing the reasoning:
If the secret realm disappears, the connection between the Panlong Ruins and the Great Square Pot will weaken, and may eventually break completely. The only way to ensure they remain closely bound together is to rebuild the secret realm!
The secret realm is the link between the real and the unreal, but its reconstruction takes time. That's why the mastermind behind it sets up many illusions, firstly to delay the time, and secondly to cover up his true purpose!
Once this secret realm is rebuilt, the connection between Panlong Ruins and Dafanghu will become unbreakable again, and then the Earth Mother and the Heavenly Demon's trip will have been in vain.
The reconstruction and reset of the so-called secret realm can take anywhere from a dozen hours to much longer.
Since the mastermind behind this has pulled so many stunts, the reconstruction of his secret realm shouldn't take too long. Otherwise, if it takes three to five days at a time, what's the point of delaying it? It simply won't last long!
The Earth Mother calculated that more than nine hours had passed since she noticed the anomaly in the Panlong Ruins!
This process involved probing, mutual vying, and battles of wits, and I wasted far too much time, especially the long initial standoff, with Lingshan also causing trouble.
The opponent's delaying tactics, a mix of feints and real attacks, have been very successful.
However, that's all for now!
Since the Panlong Secret Realm has likely disappeared and its greatest adversary on the Chipa Plateau no longer exists, what need is there for Yujing City to act cautiously?
Go for it! What's with the formalities?
Thus, the demon laborers in Jade Capital City received a sudden and important mission:
Immediately provide more Mystic Crystals to Heartfire!
The sole ruler of this magnificent city now needs immense power.
The Earth Mother couldn't even wait for the laborers to move the goods; she conjured dozens of stone giant clones and went to move the inventory first.
Meanwhile, Tianmo Xiyu, who was fighting on the front lines, suddenly pressed his ear after repelling two flying swords.
Soon, he informed Wu Yao: "News has come from below that the Earth Mother seems to have found a weakness in the Panlong Secret Realm and is now preparing to launch a full-scale attack on it!"
"Now?" The two brothers communicated telepathically, without even opening their mouths. "What's going on with that secret realm?"
The existence of the Panlong Secret Realm is the only reason why the Heavenly Demon has no choice but to cooperate with the Earth Mother.
They need a secret realm expert.
"It's as if they just exposed a fake secret realm, and then the Earth Mother's clone laughed wildly, saying, 'I never thought there would be anyone in the world like it who could reset a secret realm!'"
"..." Is there any connection between these two? "I didn't quite understand."
"The Earth Mother didn't say it outright, probably because she was afraid we'd overhear." It would be incredibly easy to bribe some demons in Jade Capital to act as spies. The Earth Mother herself knew that there were likely spies of the "Heavenly Gods" hidden within Jade Capital and the demon army.
So even if it gets carried away with its pride, it immediately shuts up and swallows the secrets it shouldn't have revealed.
"In short, Mother Earth is preparing to start collecting the Panlong Ruins right now!" Xi Yu asked her brother, "What do we do?"
The celestial being's target is the Great Square Pot. If the Earth Mother really suffocates the Panlong Ruins, where will the Great Square Pot be?
Wu Yao calmly replied, "Report this to the Holy One immediately!"
How could such a major decision be made by the two brothers on their own?
……
Halfway up Duzhishan Mountain.
The rain intensified, soaking half of Shangguan Biao's body.
A strong wind howled, and Lao Lin was blown around, his head bobbing. Several broken tree branches were caught in the wind and almost hit Shangguan Biao in the face.
Two red dragonflies suddenly flew out from the woods nearby and circled him twice.
His heart skipped a beat, and he stopped in his tracks.
This dragonfly is a magical artifact crafted within the sect, used for finding people and relaying messages in the mountains and forests. Otherwise, with so many peaks in Changfeng Valley, searching for a single person by manpower alone would be far too difficult.
The next second, a voice rang out: "Shangguan Biao, why haven't you returned to camp yet?"
The three rows of houses under the ghost claw locust tree on Duzhishan Mountain are called a camp, not a home.
"I have relatives visiting," Shangguan Biao quickly said. "I'll head back now."
"Stop, don't move."
Shangguan Biao stopped as instructed. Based on his past experience, he knew this was another serious matter.
Has his murder in the underground passage been exposed?
In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, seven or eight people jumped out of the woods. The leader was none other than Supervisor Zhao, who managed the three rows of houses. He was known for his strictness.
He raised an eyebrow when he saw Shangguan Biao, pointed, and said, "Good, found him! Tie him up!"
His attendants rushed forward and, without saying a word, pulled out the chains and seized him.
Changfeng Valley governs its affairs and people within its own territory, so naturally no other organization or force dares to interfere.
